A/N: For those of you that read the first chapter of Order of the Phoenix  (my story) you'll recognize this scene that James and Lily are dragged into. I'M THREE CHAPTERS AWAY FROM FINISHING! YEAH!

Chapter Twenty Six

Dragons of the Future

Lily continued to sob into James chest.

He patted her back and said soothing things. Finally Lily stopped sobbing and just leant against him. she looked up finally and gasped at the look in his blue eyes.

He put his head down as she went up.

Lily would remember the moment for the rest of her life. All her life. Never would she forget her first kiss. Her only kiss.

Her past, present and future stood still in that moment and she knew nothing but James.

When they broke apart, Lily began to blush. She held out her hand while looking down. James took it and they walked quietly down the passageway to the next door.

Sirius watched as Lily's face regained some color. It looked like she was blushing.

He wondered what would make Lily blush. Then he decided not to.

They had twelve hours left.

The ceiling in the Great Hall glittered with a beautiful sunset. Lily Evans, age seventeen, glanced at it as the members of her class were called forward. The class of 1977 had dwindled since Voldemort had begun to pounce on the students.

Lily Evans, age eleven, wondered how she knew so perfectly these facts. She knew what day it was, and knew that her name would be called after Sirius's name was. Keith Branstone had died the previous year.

"Susan Ackerley, Slytherin Prefect." Dumbledore called. Lily watched as the girl who had once tried to punch her in potions walked forward to get her diploma.

Susan was smart, even if she was a Slytherin.

Suddenly her wand was out and it was directed straight at Dumbledore's heart. Parents of the Sytherin's all rose and pointed at people who were dangers.

Lily had her hand on her wand when a voice said "I wouldn't do that if I were you Evans."

The older Lily looked up to meet black, glittering eyes. Severus Snape. Younger Lily wanted to punch the greasy haired kid. She also knew that at some point she would protect this boy from James. And she would be wrong at this point again to ever have hoped that his soul was right.

The Older Lily must have seen this scene before.

."Oy Potter, think it will be fun killing the mudbloods?" Snape called, a foul smile spread across his face.

"And so, we are caught in the moment." Dumbledore said, looking at Susan, hands still on the podium.

James, the younger, was staring in horror at the scene. Lily took his hand as Snape spoke.  

"Gather them up and start separating them." Snape called his voice icy, his eyes still on Lily.

Lily glared at him, her emerald green eyes fierce. "Unfortunately for you, your boyfriend will be killing you, you mudblood filth." He whispered, sending a breath of putrid air towards her face.

"Do you ever brush your teeth?" Lily asked. "Oh, right, if you don't wash your hair, you must never have clean teeth."

Snape slapped her. The red mark stayed as Lily glared at him. "SNAPE!" James roared.

"NO JAMES!" Lily screamed. James restrained himself at the look Lily gave him.

"Aw, what a cute moment." Snape sneered.

Lily watched as first the parents, and then the rest of the school were brought to the doors. Avery Nott stood at the door, separating the people into two different groups.

She frowned. Finally Snape began to lead her to the doors. "You'll pay for your smart mouth Evans." He hissed.

Lily smirked. "I thought I was going to die Snape, not pay."

Lily ducked as he tried to slap her again and grabbed her wand. She spun and faced Snape, wand at his heart. His was pointed at her.

"If you turn around now I won't kill you yet." Snape sneered.

"Wash your hair and I'll turn, I'm going to die anyways." Lily smiled a tight smile.

"Snape!" a voice called but Lily cut it off.

"If anyone comes near to us, Snape dies." Lily mouthed the killing curse at Snape.

He didn't move back one step. "And if anyone comes up on me, Evans dies." Snape sneered.

"Stalemates never work Snape." Lily said.

"Yeah, well guess what, this ones to my advantage. Petrificus—"

"EXPELLIARMUS!" Lily roared before Snape finished the spell. Snape was blown backwards into the wall, his wand clattered harmlessly behind Lily. She turned to the boy guarding James. "Get off him. now." she said dangerously, pointing her wand at him.

The boy was breathing hard, he looked scared. "He's—" the boy began to run. James pulled out his wand and Lily spun.

The tale pale man, with snake like red eyes came towards them. "You-" the voice was a hiss. Lily looked at James, she sagged against him as if all the fight were being dragged out of her.

Younger Lily hid her face in James's chest. James gasped and Lily looked up to watch herself step in front of the older James.

 "Snape!" the man hissed. Snape rose to his feet, blood trickling down his fore head.

"Yes master?" Snape bowed to the man. James knew his name. Voldemort.

"Which will feel the pain more if the other one dies?"

"Potter should kill Evans." Snape sneered.

"That sounds good." Voldemort whispered his face in a terrible sneer. "You shall do the honors."

Snape looked like Christmas had come early. "Get out of the way Evans."

"No." Lily's voice was as cold and hard as James knew her eyes to be.

"Move." Snape glared at her.

"I think when I say no I mean it." Lily said.

"Lily!" James darted in front of her as Snape raised his wand.

"No James!" Lily cried, pushing him down as Snape cried out "Imperio!"

Lily went still and James yelled, diving at Snape. Voldemort was laughing. The cold high laughter of a man that's wining.

Lily remained standing there, wand held loosely, staring at nothing, her eyes blank.

"Kill James." Snape yelled, his eye was blacked and he was panting.

Lily seemed to hesitate for a moment before raising her wand. A pained expression crossed her face and her hand wavered. She was shaking all over. "KILL JAMES POTTER!" Snape roared.

Lily began to rock back and forth.

"NO!" James dove at Lily and kissed her fiercely. The black expression in her eyes was gone and she kissed James back.

"Hate to break the love birds up…" A drawling voice said above them. James looked up and saw a boy with hair just past his eyes and a black eye. Sirius! Younger Lily thought. "Forgot how hard Regulus can punch." He said pulling James up, whom in turned pulled up Lily.

"Tom," a voice yelled over the battle that James realized was taking place. James turned to see Voldemort turning around to stare at Dumbledore. "It seems you have chosen this night to wreak havoc on my school. It cannot do."

Dumbledore brandished his wand and thin fire-like substance can out of it.

The scene was so terrifying that James began to cry silently.

"Hush James, it's all right." Lily said, as the younger James collapsed into her. Lily put her head down to block out the scene and suddenly it was all gone. Every terrible moment of it slipped into a memory.

They were back in the Circle of Light.

Sirius watched his friends. They only had five hours left. "You have to finish soon." He told Lily. "Don't take so long!"
