*~*~*~*

*~*~*~*
Footsteps were heard echoing off the walls down the hallways to the Owlery. Along with the swooshing of a cape and the fast breathing of a young girl. The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the owlery. MoMo, under her invisibility cloak, breathed harshly as she leaned against the doorframe of the arch of the door.
'I need to get out more.' She thought with a small smile. She opened the door and peeked inside to make sure no one was in there. Once she was sure it was only the owls and some of their prey, she crept inside and closed the door silently. Once inside, she took off the hood of her invisibility cloak and took in some deep breaths. 'Damn it's hot in there.' she thought as she fanned her face with her hand.
She took out her wand and transformed a piece of hay into a clean piece of parchment and a pen. Hey she liked to use muggle things.
~Joe,
I just heard about Alanna and Lorina. Dumbledore didn't tell me much so I'm hoping you can. PLEASE tell me everything you know about this.
Love from,
MoMo~
She rolled up the letter and tied it with a piece of string she found on the floor. Most likely from a package sent to a student to carelessly dropped it.
She looked up at all the owls that were sitting on their perches eating their new prey they had caught.
"Juno?" she called looking up at them all. "oh Juno?"
A owl swooped down and onto her arm. It hooted lovingly.
"Hey June. Can you deliver this for me?" The owl hooted in a yes. She tied the letter to her leg and stroked her head lovingly.
"Thanks Juno, I owe you." she said as she walked over to the window and Juno took off into the night. MoMo watched Juno fly away into the crisp, crescent moon night. When the shadow of the flying owl was out of her view she sighed and placed the hood back on her head, turned to leave.
*~*~*BACK IN THE GIRLS DORM*~*~*
Kayz and Lily slept silently as 2 hooded people looked threw their window. One took out their wand and muttered a spell and the window gently opened. The 2 flew in the room and landed silently as they were on brooms. They quietly walked to each of the beds, checked both Kayz's and Lily's, apparently not finding what they were looking for. Then they both went to the last bed to find it empty.
"Damn." one of them muttered. "Where the 'ell is she?!"
"Do you think this is a trap?" the other one asked quietly, wand still out, eyeing the room threw his mask.
"No. If it was we would have been tied up by now." the other one said. "Lets go before-"
"Wait! I say we take some souvenirs." the 2nd one said, turning to the other girls beds.
They both laughed evilly and the 1st one took out his wand. They placed a sleeping charm on Kayz and Lily (just in case they woke up) and a long rope came out of their wands, tying Kayz and Lily up. They each took a girl and loaded themselves on their brooms and flew out the window.
The 1st one stopped once out the window and muttered a charm. All of a sudden a small tornado went through out the room, messing everything up. Papers, robes, quills, parchment, letters ect. Were all messed up in the room. The 1st one muttered the counter curse and said another spell. Soon a glowing green skull with a snake coming out of its mouth was floating above in the room.
He closed the window, locked it like it was, and both of them flew over to the Forbidden Forest.
*~*~*~*BACK TO MOMO*~*~*~*
When the shadow of the flying owl was out of her view she sighed and placed the hood back on her head, turned to leave.
But as she turned to leave she got a knot in her stomach, as if something was wrong. Oh man don't you hate that feeling? She stopped. She knew it wasn't good but she didn't look to much into it. She was sure she was just hungry since she missed dinner.
Even so, she decided to go straight back to the dorm.
She walked at a fast, even paste down the hallways. Not too fast, not too slow, but not loud enough for Filch and his nosey cat to hear her. She was nearing the Common Room when her stomach gave a big leap as she heard a portrait mutter something to his neighbor.
She placed her hand over her heart and she took some deep breathes.
"Damn portraits." she muttered as she came to the Fat Lady.
"Password?"
"Gum Drop."
She hopped in the portrait hole and stopped. She looked around the common room making sure no one was in there. Once she was sure no one was in there she took off the cloak and hurried up the stairs. She quietly opened the door to her dorm and stood in shock as she saw the room.
It was a total and complete mess. Papers everywhere, clothes all over the floor, candles broken in pieces, furniture moved around, curtains ripped and then there was this very eerie silence that sent shivers up your spine as you saw what MoMo feared to see. The Dark Mark was hovering in the middle of the room, glowing brightly.
She dropped the cloak and stood in horror. Her voice lost in the shock she tried to call out to her friends.
"K-Kayz?! L-L-Lily?!" MoMo said, her body shaking in fear. She ran to Lily's bed to find it empty. She then ran to Kayz's bed to find it empty too. She stood there, body shaking, and her 2 best friends, most likely token by death eaters, gone.
What was she to do? Where was she to go? Who was she suppose to tell? Well I'm sure you're all thinking 'DUMBLEDORE! GO TO DUMBLEDORE!' well if something bad had happened to your friends you most like go tell another one of your friends. And that's just what MoMo did.
She sprinted down the stairs out into the common room then took a sharp corner and went up the boys stairs. As she ran she looked at all the doors, each saying what years.
When she got to the 2nd to the top most level of the tower she stopped in front of a door labeled '6th Year Boys' or at least that's what it used to say.
Now it read 'Marauders Room, STAY OUT! WARNING! BEWARE!' on the door. She panted a little, I mean it was a LONG way up the tower. Then with out warning she ran in the room, surprised to find the lights on. Sirius was sitting on his bed, a Quidditch magazine open in front of him but his eyes were on MoMo. Remus was reading a book on his bed, and like Sirius, his eyes were on MoMo. Peter's bed curtains were shut around his bed, most likely sleeping. And all the while a snitch was flying around the room, most likely the one that James swiped from the Quidditch supplies.
But she didn't care what was happened else where in the room, her eyes were set on the other bed with the curtains shut. She hastily walked up to it and opened to the curtains to find James, his eyes closed, probably asleep.
She shook him, her voice still lost, and her body still shaking. He stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes a little then turned on his side.
"Leave me alone Padfoot." he muttered as she soon fell back asleep.
She shook him again and he stirred again.
"Nnnn…5 more minutes Moony…" he muttered this time.
She shook him harder, he sat up looking angry and turned to MoMo.
"Really Padfoot! Its almost 2 in the morning! This better be good." he reached for his glasses next to his bed on his side drawer and put them on. He looked at MoMo sleepily then whipped his eyes and looked back at her.
"MoMo?" he asked, his eyes still looking like they were in a dream.
"J-James," she said in a small voice. Her body shaking even more worse then before. Her vision getting blinded by tears. She let a few tears roll down her cheeks and she whimpered a little.
"Wo, woo!" James said getting out of bed and kneeling next to MoMo on the floor. "MoMo! What's wrong?!"
"J-James," she whimpered whipping away some of her tears. By then Sirius and Remus had gathered around them, looking confused and worried. "Ka-Ka-Kayz a-and L-L-Lily." She stuttered out as she whimpered and sobbed.
James and Remus's eyes went wide. "What happened to Kayz and Lily, MoMo?!" James asked putting his hands on her shoulders.
"T-they…they." she tried to say but she whimpered again and whipped away some tears. She took a few deep breathes calming herself then looked up at them all looking scared and pitiful.
"D-dark M-Mark," She stuttered out, shaking still. "The d-d-dorms a m-m-mess."
The 3 boys looked at each other shocked. Then Remus turned back to MoMo.
"You mean that the Dark Mark is in your dorm room?!" he asked.
MoMo nodded.
"Oh my god." Remus muttered leaning on the bed post.
"Come on," James stood up and held a hand out to MoMo. "Lets check it out."
This was one of those times when you knew why James was placed in Gryffindor. When ever something dangerous or scary happened he was always the one to lead the way, head on, brave as can be.
They all left the dorm and the 3 boys helped MoMo down the stairs and on to one of the couches in the Common Room.
"Sirius," James said as him and Remus started to head to the girls stairs. "Stay here."
"WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Sirius said outraged.
"Listen," James said lowering his voice so MoMo couldn't hear. "I was thinking. Whoever took Lily and Kayz were obviously were going to take MoMo along with them. But since MoMo wasn't there when they took them, there's probably one around here still. Sirius." James placed his hand on his shoulder. "I need you to protect her. Comfort her, ya know?"
Sirius sighed heavily but nodded.
"Be careful though, ok?" Sirius said sternly.
James grinned, "Course Padfoot." he turned back and walked over to Remus.
"Should we go get the brooms?" James asked him.
"No, I have a better idea." Remus said taking out his wand. He muttered a spell and soon that were and inch off the floor and they hurriedly up the stairs.
"The floating charm?" James asked as they went up the stairs. Remus nodded and soon they came to the dorm room.
*~*~*Back Down in the Common Room*~*~*
Once James and Remus were out of Sirius's sight he sighed. He then turned to look at MoMo who was looking at the floor. He walked over to her and took a seat, unsure what to say. He wanted to comfort, like James said, but he was sure she was still mad about the dance.
"MoMo…" he said holding back the temptation to hug her.
Then he noticed it. Her hold body was shaking. She was so scared she was shaking. Her eyes were slightly wide as she looked at the floor. Then Sirius heard a zooming noise by his ear and he jumped up, wand out, looking around when he saw James's snitch flying around the common room. He could see Momo watching it with interest.
He calmed down and sat back down. Soon he heard the footsteps of James and Remus. Soon enough they were back in the Common Room looking grave.
"Well?" Sirius asked get up and looking at them.
The both glanced at MoMo then back to Sirius. James was about to speak when MoMo interrupted him.
"Their gone…aren't they?" she asked in a small voice as the snitch zoomed around her head.
They were all silent for a minute and the snitch zoomed around James's head and Remus's then did small circles in the middle of them all.
"Everything will be ok, MoMo." Sirius finally said.
"ok?" MoMo said in a small voice. "ok?! YOU THINK EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK?!" She stood up looking furious. "EVERYTHING'S NOT GOING TO BE OK! IF I LOSE THEM I LOSE EVERYTHING!" they stood looking at one another. The snitch still zooming in the middle of them.
Man that snitch was pissing MoMo off. Well everything at that point was pissing her off. But she had enough of it. She reached out, without looking, and touched the snitch when she felt someone else's hand on it.
She turned and saw that James, Remus and Sirius had all done what she had done. But then the knot in her stomach came back as their feet left the floor. The snitch was a port key.
She screamed as the zoomed in the air to a place she didn't know. She was getting nauish just watching the places zoom by so she closed her eyes. But just as soon as they left Hogwarts they crashed back down to earth.
MoMo fell to the ground head first and she groan in pain as she grabbed her head. But then she heard footsteps and a voice…a voice that sent chills up your spine.
"Good evening, Ms. Wong. So nice of you to come." Momo didn't have to look up to know who it was. She could already guess by the frosty voice that it was Voldmort.
