"Truely a genious plan!" James's father said, putting a hand on
James's shoulder. Both Lily and James smiled.
"Were going to go to Hogsmeade."James said, taking Lilys hand.
"Make sure your back at a reasonable time."James's mother said.
"Ok. Bye!"James called as he and Lily walked out the front door.
"You like flying right?"James asked. "Um. No not really."Lily answered. "Im afraid of heights."She added. "Ok, well....you'll be ok."He said, getting out his broom. He got on, and Lily followed, quickly putting her arms around his waist. James took off and Lilys grip tightened.
They landed just outside the Three Broomsticks. "Come on."James said, taking Lilys hand again and walking inside.
"Hey Jamsie!"Someone called.They both turned and saw Sirius running towards them. "Hello Sirius."Lily said smiling. "Hey Lils!"Lauren called.Lily smiled.She sat down next to Lauren, and the two quickly engaged in conversation.
"All right you lot! We're closing!"The bartender called. The five of them stood up and walked out, Lily and Lauren a little tipsy after having several Butterbeers. "C'mon guys, lets go to this great club I found a couple days ago!"Sirius suggested, beaming. "You go clubbing?"Lauren asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yep."Sirius answered, grinning. "I dont think we should...not tonight."James said, holding Lily up. "Awwwwwww.......you guys are party poopers...."Sirius whined. "Maybe some other time."James said, then disapparated, taking Lily with him. "Well, THAT was rude!"Lauren huffed, putting her hands on her hips. "Get over it Lauren, they'll be back again some other day."Remus said, rolling his eyes.
The next night, they went clubbing, much to James's dislike.
"COME ON JAMES ITS NOT THAT BAD LIGHTEN UP!"Sirius yelled over the music. "YEAH REALLY!"Lauren called. "WHERES REM?"James asked. "OVER THERE!"Sirius yelled, pointing at Remus, who was talking to a girl who looked somewhat familiar. Lily walked over, laughing. She dropped into a chair next to James. "Have fun?"James asked. "WHAT!?!"Lily asked, leaning towards him to hear him. "I SAID 'DID YOU HAVE FUN'?!"He yelled. "OH! YEAH I DID!"She answered, backing away again. "YOU KNOW...MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE MUGGLES!"Sirius yelled. "SO WHAT!"Lauren answered. She suddenly gasped. "LILS! LOOK AT HIM!"She yelled, leaning over to Lily and pointing into the crowd. Lily gasped. "Wow...."She muttered. "IM GONNA GO ASK HIM TO DANCE!"Lauren called as she ran onto the dance floor. Lily glanced at Sirius, who was scowling. A tall man walked over to Lily, extending his hand to her. As she took it, giggling, James noticed something black on his arm. Sirius elbowed him. "WHAT?"James asked. "HES TAKIN' YOUR GIRL!"He yelled. James glared at him. "SHUT UP!"He called, turning back to watch Lily. She was laughing and having a good time. He smiled, seeing her happy made him happy. The song ended, with everyone doing one last complicated spin-hop-thing.Lily over balanced, and almost fell, but the man caught her. She was laughing again. She stood back up, and he asked her something. She nodded. A slower song came on, and Lily rested her head on his chest, as they swayed back and forth with the crowd. James stood up. "Im going over to the bar for a while."He said. Sirius nodded. James walked over and sat down at the bar that was lit up with neon lights.
"What'll it be?"The bartender asked. "I dont care, something strong."James muttered. The man sitting net to him looked at him. "Somethin' wrong?"He asked. "No."James sighed. "Some guy dancin' with your girl?"He asked, as if reading James's mind. "Er....yeah...sort of."James answered. "Just go over 'n slug 'im."The man said, laughing. "She'd hate me if I did."James said, as the bartender put the drink in front of him. He surveyed it, then took a drink. His throat burned and his head spun, but he liked it. He downed it, and ordered another. "Better be careful with that. Messes with your mind...makes you do stupid things."The man cautioned, as James took another drink. "I dont care. I just want my mind off her."He growled, taking another drink. "Look...I can tell who you are. Your a Potter. And you Potters are in trouble mixin' in with people like us. Get out of here. Go make a use of your life. Dont waste away. Get your girl and get out."The man then turned, and seemed to almost fade away. James shook his head and ordered another drink. He looked over at the spot where Lily had been, but she was gone.
"James?"Came Lily's voice, almost a wisper. He turned around and found himself staring into her eyes. She smiled and sat down next to him."Why are you over here?"She asked. "I was thirsty."He snapped.Lily looked at the drink he had in his hand. "You seem upset...are you ok?"She asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. He shrugged it off. "I'm fine Lily, dont worry about me, go have your fun."He turned away, taking another drink. He heard Lily sigh quietly and get up.
"Your friend ok?"The man asked when Lily walked back over to him. "Hes mad about something..."Lily muttered. "Dont worry, hey, want to dance again?"He asked, grinning. "Sure."Lily smiled weakly and they walked back out onto the dance floor.
James watched as he led her back out onto the dance floor. The lights were spinning around, in beat with the fast song. One of the lights hit them and something glinted on the mans arm again. James knew what it was. The Dark Mark. His breatheing became uneven, his eyes narrowing.
Sirius looked over at James and raised an eyebrow. The look on his face was one of pure and total fury. Sirius followed James's gaze and saw Lily and that man dancing again. "He said he didnt care......"Sirius muttered. "Unless....theres something about that man James doesnt like.....Oh boy..."Sirius stood up and started walking towards James.
"James what is it?"Sirius asked. James turned to him and his face seemed to relax. "Hes.......got the mark...."James growled. "The.........the............dark mark?"Sirius asked, his jaw dropping. "I bet everyone of them in here has it."James muttered. "Then weve got to get out."Sirius said, pulling James to his feet. James pulled his arm away and slammed a fist on the bar. "I'll get Lily."He growled. Sirius nodded slightly, then went to go find Remus and Lauren.
James knocked people out of the way, then seized Lily by the arm. "Lily we have to go."He said, tugging on her arm slightly. "What? Why?"Lily asked. "Just come on."He said, pulling harder. "James let go! Its not even that late!"Lily yelled. The man grabbed James by the collar. "Whats'a matter Potter? Don't like my crowd?"He asked. The music had stopped and everyone turned to face them. "Whats going on?"Lily asked, looking around.James tore his fist across the mans face. He dropped James, who grabbed Lilys wrist. "Come on."Was all he said, then dragged Lily through the crowd.
