James and Lily made their way out of the Three Broomsticks. Peter,
Remus and Sirius, stayed to chug some more butter beer. Sirius insisted on
competing with Remus to see who could drink theirs the fastest. Not
surprisingly, Remus declined [courteously]. Making their way down the
street, hand in hand James and Lily discussed important topics like,
wanting to become Aurors. They planned on going to Auror training together,
starting in September.
"I can't wait. Being an Auror sounds thrilling and exciting, though I... Well... what if. never mind, forget it." Lily hesitated saying anything more to James.
"What, What If what?" he asked concerned, obviously something wasn't right and he wasn't going to let her just walk away from it.
"Well, I mean. I have so much trouble being a Mudblo- Muggleborn, dealing with Bellatrix and stuff-"but James cut her off.
"Speaking of the devil" he said gruffly, giving a look that could kill in the direction down the street.
Bellatrix Black was standing facing straight at them, wand aloft in her hand.
"Ahhh. A mud blood and a pure blood, Haha! How shameful. But I'm sure dear Jamsey's pitiful parents are fully supportive. Am I right?" Bellatrix said in a gruffly seductive voice. Lily gripped James' hand harder. Sensing her anger and fear, he squeezed back.
"Keep my parents out of this, Bellatrix! Why do you care anyway? You're just a psychotic bitch" James yelled at her. Some people turned their heads, but most didn't take notice. Bellatrix glared at him.
"A psychotic bitch , am I? Let us see how much of a psychotic bitch I can be." She pointed her wand at Lily. Lily went white. Bellatrix had done this before, but they were at school. She couldn't hurt her there. But she could here. Lily stood up straighter.
"I'm not afraid of you Bellatrix. You're too much of a coward to try any of that with this many people here." Lily glared angrily.
"Ahh. Now I'm a coward. I seem to have many imperfections. I'll make it my New Years resolution to fix 'em. Now I'll show how much of a coward I can be." She bellowed. Raising her wand at Lily's chest, she opened her eyes wider and screamed down the street.
"CRUCIO!" A green light blasted from her wand.
"No!" James yelled at ran in front of Lily to do a counter curse, but it was too late. Cruciatus curse was there, and hit him straight in the chest. James went flying back three feet and fell on to his back.
"JAMES!" Lily shrieked and ran to his side. He was thrashing about in near mutiny. Remus, Peter and Sirius, who had been standing by the door to the Three Broomsticks, rushed to his side to help, but before Sirius would do anything he stood up and charged at his evil cousin. But he wasn't the first one there; a man with brown, yellowy eyes, with wavy dirty blonde hair had his wand to back of her head. But before Sirius or this guy could do anything, Bellatrix cackled with delight and with a crack she had Apparated. Sirius and this "good Samaritan" dashed to James' side.
"We have to get him to St. Mungo's" The man said to them abruptly. He looked up at Rosemerta who was by leaning against the door of the Three Broomsticks in sheer shock. The man beckoned her toward him. She rushed to him quickly and gasped when she saw James' face. He had gone sheet white, his eyes were wide open, along with his mouth and thrashing about while Remus and Sirius tried to keep him still. She quickly looked up at the man.
Get St. Mungo's NOW! I want an ambulance here ASAP" He said quickly. Rosemerta immediately got up and ran the restaurant.
"Now ma'am." The man began.
"Please call me Lily" Lily said and gave him a smile, very faint though, she obviously was extremely jolted by the attack, and also very concerned.
"Okay, Now, Lily, was it? Can you tell me exactly what happened?" He asked
"I'll tell you what happened!" bellowed Sirius. 'That bitch, Bellatrix shot the Cruciatus at him!" He was trembling with anger.
"Now, Now young man, I know you're extremely angry, I would be too. But this is no time to shout. Your friend here can't take it." The man said gesturing at James.
"It's James, James Potter" Lily said gently. The man thought for a minute.
"As in the Potters? Yes, Yes I work with his parents then, but why would she attack him? His family is completely pure-blood." Lily looked into her lap.
"She wasn't attacking him. she was attacking me." She looked up into the man's eyes. He could see that she was on the verge of tears.
"I see, wel-"He was about to finish when Remus interrupted him.
"Wait. If you work with James' parents, than that means you're an Auror." He said staring at the man.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Jeremiah; Jerry Fletcher, but you can call me Jerry,. Yes, your correct young man, I am an Auror. Dangerous job. Now wait, you said her name was Bellatrix? Do know her?" Jerry asked them. Sirius flinched.
"She's my effing cousin, Bellatrix Black." Sirius grunted under his breath.
"Bellatrix Black!" Jerry gasped. "We've been chasing after her for years, now you say you knew her?" Lily was about to answer when a siren came wiring towards them. Lily gasped with relief. Three EMT's popped out of the back with a stretcher and started loading James into the ambulance.
"We only have room for two people." One of them said quickly. Jerry told Sirius and Lily that they should go on the ambulance, Remus didn't complain. The ambulance started speeding away when Jerry quickly asked Remus and Peter.
"You two know how to Apparate right?" Remus and Peter nodded. They had passed their test in their sixth year. And before you could say "TIMBUKTU" there was a crack they had disappeared.
Lily and Sirius were sitting in the waiting room, Sirius was pacing back and forth and Lily was sitting in one of the stylish leather chairs with her head in her hands. Her face stained with tears.
"Why, did he have to get cursed? It should've been me, it should've been me." Lily said aloud. Sirius glanced over at her and then sat in the chair next to her.
"No luv, you know he wasn't planning on getting hit, and you KNOW that he would've preferred it be him than you. Just be glad it wasn't Avadra Kedavra" He said with many intentions of trying to cheer her up. But instead he made her cry more. He shouldn't have mentioned the Avadra Kedavra thing. He knew he shouldn't have. A loud CRACK thundered around the room and Jerry, Remus, and Peter appeared before them. Just as they arrived a nurse came out.
"Your friend is just fine. He is very weak right now, but he wants to see everyone." Everyone quickly rose and headed to the open door.
"Very brave young lad." The nurse chided as they went to a hallway that smelled like shots and IV's. It made Lily sick to her stomach. They entered a room; James looked, for the first time extremely weak. He always looked so happy and gallant, but now he looked every so sickly.
"Thank Merlin!" Lily gasped and rushed to his side and grabbed his hand. James smiled faintly, even smiling looked painful.
"I'm ok" James made out in a scratchy voice. "I'm just glad it didn't hit you"
Lily smiled, of course he was glad.
"You ok mate?" Sirius asked with more concern than Lily had every seen for a moment on his face. James nodded weakly. He yawned (a pretty long yawn too) the nurse quickly shooed them out of the room. Lily sighed. She had had quite enough excitement for one day. She quickly made her way down the street, Peter, Remus, and Sirius in tow. She looked up at the sky. It had gotten extremely dark all of a sudden until the point where she couldn't see any one anywhere.
"Lumos" she whispered under her breath and her wand quickly gave her some light. But instead of seeing the handsome faces of Sirius and Remus she found herself face to face with about a dozen Death Eaters and You Know Who himself.
