Diagon Alley Attacked

That's when they heard a scream . . .

They saw the, nearly fifty, people in Diagon Alley running every which way.

"Quick," said Remus, "Hide."

They all dropped their ice creams, and the five of them ducking into an abandoned alley, "Guys, cover us," said Teri, she and Lily began madly taping bricks seeing if any of them were passages out of the Alley.

They stopped when one of the bricks started to grow into a hollow hole. They crept inside, and huddled together, praying that they would be safe, and that nothing would happen to their families.

The wall closed up, leaving only one small hole open as a peep hole.

James looked out into the alley, and in the street he could see people panicking, several of them carrying others; he couldn't watch any more, it was too much for any seventeen year old to stomach.

An hour later the noise stopped.

They crawled out of their hiding place, and looked up and down the street.

Dead aurors and other miscellaneous magical beings littered the street.

Teri started to cry on Sirius' shoulder, and he and she sat down on one of the last upright chairs in front of the ice cream parlor.

Remus was looking over the dead, identifying as many as he could; James and Lily walked up and down the street, looking for any signs of Death Eaters, or anyone else who was still alive.

There was a quiet pop, and James' mother appeared, "Oh sweetie," she cried pulling him into a tight hug, "I was so worried." She looked around at the destruction, "Oh dear."

That was when Sirius and Remus' parents appeared in the company of James' father.

Lily was kneeling over one of the bodies littering the street. She flipped him over with a quick rotation spell, and gasped when she saw his face.

It was the Minister's wife, infamous for dozens of affairs with high ranking ministry officials.

"OMG," whispered Lily. "Ms. Potter, I think you should see this."

Ms. Potter came over, and gasped, eyes wide, when she saw the face of the dead woman.

"That's not what is so interesting," said Lily, holding up the woman's arm, "she was a Death Eater."

Suddenly, the Alley was swarming with reporters snapping pictures, and reporters taking notes of the scene.

"Lily?" called Remus.

"Yes?" asked Lily walking over to him. She followed his gaze to a single white lily in the middle of the street.

Then, she fell to her knees, her hand brushing the delicate flower; it turned to ash, and in an instant, there hovered, in little blue letters, over the pile of ash, "You're Next My Lily."
