Chapter 5

Disclaimer- JKR, all recognizable characters, everyone else, is MINE!(

A quick note: I was re-reading my story when I noticed that Lily's mom is dead, ya kinda forgot about that, so the story will just go on that Lily's mother is dead, but her father and sister are still alive. Sorry about forgetting that, it would have been important, so back to the story...

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ It was the night of the Halloween Dance, and all of the girls were in their dorm doing last minute preparations. Lily couldn't decide on how she wanted to wear her hair, and Becca was fussing about Emily putting make up on her.

"Becca, stop moving! I'm just about ready to stick the mascara brush in your eye!" joked Emily.

"How does this look?" asked Lily who had her hair in a french braid.

"Ooh, I like that," said Emily warmly.

"Me too," said Becca.

"BECCA!"

"Sorry, I wanted to see what her hair looked like."

"It's fine I'm done anyways."

The girls did several mirror checks and then headed down to meet up with the Marauders.

Of course, since it only takes guys ten to fifteen minutes to get ready (probably less) they were already down in the common room. Once the girls were seen, everyone of their mouths dropped open.

"What boys? Didn't think we could clean up this good?" joked Becca, with Lily and Emily laughing in the background.

"We knew you ladies could clean up nicely but.. WOW," said a baffled James.

"Ok hun now do a nice little turn for me," said Sirius in a girly voice to Becca.

"You look very beautiful," said Remus to Emily while reaching for her hand, she began to blush.

"So do you, but not beautiful, handsome," said Emily. She thought to herself 'oh my god, I suck'.

"Why Ms. Evans you are looking lovelier than ever this evening," smiled James.

"You don't look too shabby yourself Mr. Potter," said Lily before they linked arms.

The Marauders and their dates were enjoying themselves at the dance. There weren't many fast songs, almost all were slow. The three couples were the center of attention, at least to the rest of the first years.

James was dancing closely with Lily, close enough to smell her hair. He loved the smell of it, 'strawberries' he thought to himself.

Just then a cold chill entered the room, giving several of the students goosebumps.

"Is it cold in here or just me?" asked Emily.

"It does seem colder all of a sudden. Would you like my cloak?" offered Remus, while putting it around her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Lily and James were sitting at a table when Lily got a feeling that something was going to happen.

"Something doesn't feel right," said Lily concerned.

"I know what you mean, I feel the same way," replied James.

Just then the doors of the Great Hall burst open and several cloaked figures entered.

Becca saw them enter and attached herself to Sirius.

"What's the matter?" asked Sirius while trying to loosen Becca's grip. He soon saw where she was looking, his eyes grew large.

All of the students were up against he walls leaving a large space in the center for the cloaked figures to enter.

James walked quickly over to Remus and Sirius, he whispered something, and all three boys started walking towards the doors. Lily gabbed James's hand.

"Where are you going?"

"I've got an idea."

"Don't do it James," said Lily pleadingly.

"What do you want me to do Lils? Sit here and do nothing? I can't do that," said James firmly.

"Just be careful ok? Promise me that."

"I promise," said James. Lily, Emily, and Becca watched the three boys slip out of the doorway.

The largest cloaked man finally began to speak, and a thick silence fell over the students.

"Dumbledore, I believe we have some unfinished business," he hissed.

"Yes Voldemort, but this isn't the time nor the place, there is the door, I'm sure you can see your way out," replied Dumbledore calmly.

"Lily, he's the guy that killed my family and your mother?" asked Emily as hatred began to fill her.

"Yes, Emily but don't go near him, he'll kill you at the drop of a hat," warned Lily, grabbing Emily's arm. Soon Becca came, and got in between them, holding both of them back.

"Becca, let go!" said Lily and Emily in unison.

"Sorry guys, but I can't afford to lose you two," said Becca.

"I just want him to pay," said Emily sadly before crying silently. Lily soon followed.

In the meantime, Voldemort began sorting the room with boys on one side and girls on the other. However, Becca, Lily, and Emily were not paying attention and Voldemort noticed. He quietly walked up to them.

"Unless you are boys dressed as girls, I believe you are on the wrong side," he said coldly.

The three girls looked up at him with fear, and two faces with tears.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked Emily.

"Nothing," said Emily quickly while wiping away her tears.

"Then why were you crying?"

"Her boyfriend broke up with her," lied Lily.

"Lily, I got this. It's none of your business, excuse me, I'm on the wrong side," she replied hotly, walking away from him. He quickly grabbed her arm, she winced with pain.

"No one speaks to me that way and no one walks away from me and lives to tell the tale."

"Is that why you killed our parents?" yelled Lily.

"Hmm, you look like Rachel and Jakes daughter," he pointed at Emily, "and you look like Richard and Diana's daughter."

"No, how do you figure that?" said Emily while looking at the ground, keeping her mind off of the pain.

"You're lying, no one lies to me," he said hotly as he raised his wand, Emily closed her eyes and hoped for the best.

Suddenly, Voldemort's wand flew out of his hand as James Potter and Co. yelled, "Expellerimus." (sp?)

Voldemort looked to see the young boys with his wand in hand. He quickly grabbed Emily and Lily and pulled them in front of him, both girls shrieked in pain. Becca watched with horror and quickly joined Sirius, James, and Remus ready to help in anyway she could. Emily looked up and her eyes met Remus's. Lily glanced at James and then her eyes met Emily's who's eyes showed she was terrified.

Before Voldemort knew it the entire student body surrounded him, their wands pointed right at him, ready for anything.

Voldemort leaned in close to Emily and Lily and whispered, "We will meet again, and you two won't be so lucky next time." With that he disappeared, causing Emily and Lily to fall to the floor. Their friends surrounded them and helped the two girls to the hospital wing.
