A/N: Holy crap, I'm SO SORRY! I've had the worst writers block ever! I'm sorry! Lindsey bugged the hell out of me to get this up. I've been workin on my Teen Titans fic, and doing plans for a Charmed one,and so, after many months (I think?) of waiting (if anyone has),here is the first raid!
Chapter 7: The First Raid and The First Escape
Lindsey sighed as she watched her friends run out the door and Disapparate. Oh, how badly she wanted to go with them. Feeling bored, she wandered to the kitchen and made herself some cereal. She flipped on one of James's Muggle-variety T.V.s and watched some show called a cartoon. She munched on her cereal and thought.
"I wonder what they do at raids. Hmm..it sounds like fun. I wish I could go on one. It's not fair," she thought. After a few minutes of cartoon watching and cereal eating, she layed down on the couch. Thoughts now filled with worry for Remus, she fell asleep.
They reached the little town finally and stared in shock. The town was in flames, dead bodies littered the ground, children ran around screaming for parents, and vice versa. Kaitlin shuddered.
"James!" Christy screamed, yanking him down suddenly. A blast of green light flew over their heads mere moments later.
"Oh, my God, thanks," he said.Kaitlin whimpered.
"This looks worse than I thought it would be," she said. Everyone nodded.They all decided to split up, Christy and Sirius going after the Death Eater that had originally attacked them.
"Hey, bitch, over here!" Christy yelled. The woman turned around and Christy sent her flying into a wall with a spell. The woman groaned and rubbed her head, struggling to stand up.
"Didn't Dumbledore say they wanted the Death Eaters thrown in jail?" Sirius asked. The woman struggled to stand and Christy put a Body Binding curse on her quickly.
"I think so," Christy said. Sirius transfigured the Death Eater into a marble and put it in his pocket. They turned around and saw a child screaming at a Death Eater who was dragging the child's mom by her hair. The Death Eater then cast the Cruciatus Curse on the mom and made the child watch. The child and the mother screamed while the Death Eater laughed coldly. Shuddering in disgust,Christy and Sirius ran over there at the same time James and Lily did. Sirius cast a spell to knock him away from the woman, then James transfigured him into a pebble and dropped him in his pocket. Christy ran over to the child and her mother.
"Everything is okay, you're going to be just fine," Christy whispered in the child's ear as reassuringly as she could. Truthfully, she didn't believe herself. She hugged the child while Sirius attended to the woman.
"Am I going to die?" the child asked, rubbing her head. For the first time, Christy saw a huge gash across the child's head. She forced herself not to gasp and smiled shakily at the child.
"You're going to be fine," she said. "Come with me." She led the child as quickly as possible into a house that wasn't burning.She saw Kaitlin out of the corner of her eye dueling with a Death Eater and prayed she'd be fine.She walked into the house. No one was in it, and she flew through the cupboards, looking for ingredients to make a quick Gash Curing potion. Thankfully they were all there and she managed to make the potion in less than five minutes. The child drank it, and the gash slowly started to disappear.
"Thank you, ma'am," the girl said, smiling faintly. The door burst open suddenly and Christy screamed and raised her wand, but it was only Remus and Kaitlin.
"Christy, get out here now! Voldemort's here!" Remus yelled. "He's cornering James and Lily!" Kaitlin added.
"Oh, God," Christy whispered. The child stared at the two newcomers fearfully. Christy took the child's hand and walked out of the building.She saw Sirius. "Sirius! Where's the girl's mom!?" she screamed.
"Over there! Hurry up!" he yelled back. She ran in the direction he pointed and saw the woman huddled behind some garbage cans. Christy handed the woman her child, and the woman thanked her. Christy nodded and ran in the direction she saw Sirius and Remus run. The main thought on her mind was whether or not James and Lily were dead.
"James! Watch out!" Lily screamed. She grabbed his leg and yanked him to the ground as a curse flew over his head.
"Geez, second time today," he said, rubbing his hip.
"Sorry," Lily said, grinning. The grin faded and her mouth dropped into a perfect "O". James gave her a curious look, and Lily scrambled to her feet, unable to scream, or say anything for that matter. James looked behind him, and his reaction was much the same as Lily's.
"Voldemort," he said softly.
"Hello, James. You know, your father was a pleasure to murder. Perhaps you should be the same way?" Voldemort said maliciously. James bared his teeth and stood protectively in front of Lily. Voldemort laughed slightly. "It does not matter. You both shall-" James cut him off by sending the same curse at Voldemort that Sirius had used on the Death Eater earlier. Voldemort cursed in anger. "So that's how you want to die? Painfully? No mercy? We shall see. AVADA-" Sirius ran up and cut him off with the Silencing Spell.
"Good one, Sirius," James said, though his eyes never left the Dark Lord. Of course, being the Dark Lord, he could very easily think spells and make them work. He sent a jet of red light at Sirius, who just barely managed to deflect it. Voldemort deflected it, too, except at the last second deflected it at Lily, who was unprepared. She screamed as it struck her, and James immediately caught her as she fell. Remus and Kaitlin soon arrived.
"Lily! Are you okay?" he yelled. Lily managed to nod. Christy soon ran up. James's mind was full of hate for Voldemort.
"James, get out of here! Get her out of here!" Christy yelled, sending the Cruciatus Curse at Voldemort, who dodged it and sent it back. Sirius deflected it for her. "GO!" she yelled again. James held onto Lily and Apparated back to the mansion.
Lindsey was startled out of her unexpected sleep on the couch by a loud crack. She peeked over the couch and saw James, a trickle of blood running down his dirty face, holding Lily, who was breathing shallowly.
"Oh, my God, what happened?" Lindsey said, jumping over the couch and running over to them.
"Lindsey, it was horrible. Trust me, raids are not all they're cracked up to be. Lily got hit with a curse-I don't know which one, red light is all I know, I didn't hear Voldemort say anything because Sirius placed a Silencing Spell on him, probably hoping he wouldn't be able to cast spells, but-"
"James, slow down or shut up, we need to get her to the hospital!" Lindsey said. James nodded.
"You take her. I need to report to Dumbledore, now," he said, and without giving her a chance to respond he Disapparated. Lindsey sighed, grabbed Lily, and ran outside (with some difficulty). She wondered how the heck she was going to get to the hospital; she hadn't passed her Apparation test yet, she didn't have a car, and she certainly couldn't walk. Then she saw it; Sirius's motorcycle. (A/N: I don't remember if I put in that he bought it yet, so..if I didn't, he did, I just didn't type it out ;). She wondered how you started it. She sat on it and put Lily in front of her.
"Err....start?" she said. Surprisingly, it revved to life. "Cool," she said. She reached around Lily and took hold of the handlebars. She was shocked when it started to lift into the air, but then again, what else would you expect from Sirius? She eventually figured out how to drive it and managed to get to the hospital in 10 minutes. She parked the bike and ran as best she could into the hospital. She ran to the "Emergency" desk and told them the case. The woman behind the desk immediately took them up to the special ward for Order of the Phoenix members who had been attacked by Voldemort. Lindsey was shocked at how many people were there. She carried Lily up there and they took her into examination. She sat in the waiting room and waited anxiously for word back from the nurse.
James handed Dumbledore four pebbles.
"I don't know their names, but I do know they're Death Eaters," James said. Dumbledore nodded and smiled.
"Very good work James. What of the others?" Dumbledore asked. James sighed and told Dumbledore the whole story, from Lindsey's return (which Dumbledore already knew of somehow)to Voldemort's attack on them. Dumbledore looked grave as James finished.
"Lindsey is indeed taking Lily to the hospital?" Dumbledore asked. James nodded. "I think I should go to the raid. You, James, should go to Lily," Dumbledore said. They both Disapparated to their different places.
"Sirius! It's Dumbledore!" Christy breathed, clutching her broken wrist. She, Sirius, Kaitlin, and Remus had escaped Voldemort when a Death Eater had reported something to him. Now they hid behind a house, gasping for air, with a total of six more Death Eaters in their pockets. Now Dumbledore was standing in front of them.
"Dumbledore, oh thank Merlin," Remus said. "Voldemort, he's-"
"Here, I know," Dumbledore said gravely. "James told me. You three need to get to your friends and give me any captured Death Eaters." Christy handed him all six. "Very nice. I must go now," he said. As Dumbledore left them, they could hear Death Eaters screaming and the sounds of spells being fired. They all Disapparated quickly to the hospital. They asked the nurse about Lily and she directed them to the ward she was in.
"That was...terrible," Remus said, looking much paler than normal.
"Yeah," Christy said, voice shaking. Christy was pale, from shock and pain. She held her broken wrist tenderly, and Sirius put his arm around her. They saw Lindsey up ahead, and she leaped up and ran to them.
"Are you guys okay?" she asked, looking hysterical. "Merlin's beard, I was so worried, please, are you okay? What's wrong with Christy?" Christy smiled weakly.
"Broken wrist." A passing nurse heard her and beckoned her over. "Damn," Christy muttered. Sirius laughed and went with her. Remus stayed behind with Lindsey and Kaitlin.
"Are you two okay? Any injuries?" Lindsey asked. Remus took her hand.
"No, we're fine. How's Lily?" he said.
"She's fine. Voldemort was trying to use some kinda spell that does something painful and weird to your organs, but it only works if it hits your heart, and thank Merlin he missed. But just barely," she said. Her voice shook and looked terrified.
"It's okay. It's over now. Look on the bright side, at least you didn't have to see everything we saw," he said, hugging her shaking body to him. He was struggling to make himself feel normal. Kaitlin was breathing deeply, rubbing her temples. Sirius and Christy came back shortly, Christy's wrist in a cast. She was glaring over her shoulder at the retreating nurse.
"Geez. It wasn't that big of a deal," she muttered. Sirius laughed slightly and hugged her.
"Yes, it was, your wrist was broken in two places," he said.
"So what?" Christy said defensively. "I could've managed." Sirius shook his head.
"Sure. Anyway, where'd James get off to?" he asked. They all shrugged.
"He's probably in Lily's room. I'll go ask if we can visit her," Lindsey said. She stood up and walked to the desk to ask, then came back a short while later.
"She said okay," Lindsey said. They all walked down the hallway to Lily's room. Upon entering they saw James holding Lily's hand, smiling, and Lily looking up at them, also smiling.
"Well I feel a bit better," she said. They grinned at her and their worried looks vanished.
"I'm just glad you're okay!" Christy said, hugging her.
"I wonder how the raid's going?" Remus said thoughtfully. They all shrugged.
"We can ask Dumbledore later," Sirius said.
"Or you could ask him now."
A/N: AHHHHHHHH I FINALLY UPDATED YOU LOVE ME YES YOU DO WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! Okay yeah I'm done annnnnnyways..... yes well I'm sorry that took so long.....I'm still your favorite dorko though of course yes yes now I go and work on other stories. n.n
