April's POV – October/November 1980
I lay on the floor of Lily's living room. I had a few days of break for Halloween. I wouldn't have had a break but since the auror headquarters partnered me and James together we'd been unstoppable so they just told us to have a break. I lay on my front staring at Bo. He was leaning against the sofa looking at me cluelessly. Jenny had come to visit a few days ago and she was staying for two weeks. I think she came mainly because Lily didn't want to bug her mum anymore and she was still finding it difficult being a mum. I sat there and stared at the baby. Apparently babies don't need to blink as often as us adults so it's a bit of a challenge, it also helps me with my legillimency. If I can keep eye contact for longer. I saw Bo raise one of his eyebrows in confusion then he laughed. He got up slowly and I watched him as he tottered over to me and took my hand.
"Fine." I said getting up. I was actually really comfortable on the floor. I could sleep there no problem. I let Bo hold my hand and drag me to the kitchen where Lily and Jenny were talking. Harry was in his high chair thing watching something in the air. That baby is strange he is, he sits there and watches flies and bits of dust that us normal people aren't quick enough to see. Bo tugged my hand and pointed to the fridge.
"No, your mummy said no food for you." I said. Jenny turned around and glanced at me and smiled.
"Ah, let him have something. He's been behaving himself recently." She said. Bo smiled and let go of my hand and walked to Jenny. He said something in a mixture of Chinese and English, something I didn't quite catch, and Jenny picked him up.
"So, how's the mother's meeting?" I asked. Jenny and Lily both gave me a slight look of annoyance. "Sorry." I muttered. "I feel so out of place with you two having babies and I don't."
"Oh trust me April, I don't think you could have a baby." Lily said jokingly as she turned and put something into a big fat cauldron on the stove.
"Oh, why not?" I asked pouting. Lily flicked some dried herbs at me and laughed.
"Shut up April." Lily said laughing. She was looking better then usual. I knew Harry was actually sleeping through the nights now and both Lily and James seemed a lot happier because they were getting more sleep.
"When are the boys coming?" Jenny asked casually as she went to the table and put Bo on a chair.
"Well, Remus is coming in about half an hour" Lily replied, putting emphasis on Remus. Jenny seemed to blush a little.
"Oh, what is it our little Yue-Yin?" I asked.
"Shut up April, I hate that name." Jenny said.
"Doesn't stop your grandmother from using it, how is she by the way?" I asked.
"She's good. She's been doing a lot of Yoga recently, I don't know why though, but it's rather disturbing when your grandmother can put her legs behind her head and you can barely do the splits." Jenny said. Lily and I both laughed as Jenny smirked.
"Mummy!" Bo called out. Jenny turned around to face him.
"Yes Bo" She asked. He pulled her closer and whispered in Jenny's ear. Lily smiled and put the lid on the cauldron.
"Done, now I need to wait for three days." She said happily.
"You're still making it?" I asked. "What would happen if you ever died, Remus would be at a loss." Lily gave me a long look. Oops, I just said the wrong thing
"And why would I die?" Lily asked testily.
"Well you know with the whole Voldemort thing and-"
"April, Voldemort will not kill me, he doesn't know where I am. He can't get me." She said. Jenny glanced at Lily.
"It's not that bad is it? I mean you can still leave the house."
"Yeah but I can't go and visit mum, I can't visit you guys. I can only stay around Godric's Hollow anyway-"
"Why would you want to visit us? We always come here." I said.
"It's the principle of the thing, April. And now Dumbledore wants us to go into hiding because apparently Voldemort's getting even more active and trying to find out exactly where we live." Lily said throwing her hands in the air. I frowned and glanced at Jenny, who looked slightly uneasy.
"Mummy, Harry!" Bo said, pointing at the younger boy, who's attention was now on Lily.
"Bo, in a minute." Jenny said. "Well you know, you can always find somewhere safe in China. You're more then welcome to stay."
"What about your dad?" Lily asked. Jenny laughed.
"Oh him, he's harmless now."
"What did you do?" I asked Jenny rather amused.
"Oh it wasn't me. It was Lee." Jenny said with a smirk. "Father kinda told her that she couldn't move in with her boyfriend so Lee packed all Father's stuff and threw him out the house and told her boyfriend to move in." Jenny said. It was obviously a funny memory because Jenny laughed gently to herself.
"What did your mum say?" Lily asked looking slightly concerned.
"Oh, we let him back in. It was a bit of fun really but now he doesn't put any pressure on us so Zhao's teaching Cho to fly. Remus and you guys are allowed round whenever you want to come and Lee's moved out." Jenny said simply.
"Cool." I said with a smirk "Weekend in China!" I said loudly turning to Lily with my arms up.
"Right," Lily said to me, trying to hide a smile. "Normally I say this to Padfoot but who gave you the sugar?" She asked. I pointed at Bo and Jenny and Lily both started laughing. "Boys should be back soon, lets go into the living room before they decide to mess up the kitchen."
"Where are they again?" I asked as Lily picked up Harry and Bo jumped down from the table and followed Jenny into the living room.
"They've decided to go and play two on two quidditch." Lily said, "In the rain, and while it's muddy so when they come back they're all as good as dead." Lily said with a smile.
"Always a good thing." Jenny answered. Lily grinned. She picked up a pillow and put it on the floor then gently put Harry on the floor next to it so that he wouldn't hit his head if he fell over. Bo immediately crawled over and started playing with Harry.
"I'm so tired." Lily said putting her head on my shoulder. Jenny smirked and I grinned.
"That's the price of having a baby." I said. Lily swatted my arm and I laughed. "I was always the sensible one." At that both Jenny and Lily burst out laughing.
"What?" I asked.
"DARLING I'M HOME!" Sirius shouted.
"Hey!" James snapped back. Jenny and I both looked at Lily curiously.
"Don't ask." She said. "Honey, I'm in here." She called back.
"He's mine." I said to Lily.
"I know and I'm James' but that doesn't stop us." Lily said cheekily. Sirius came running into the room then fell over as James tackled him from behind.
"No you don't." James growled as the two men fought on the floor of the living room. Mud going everywhere. Lily stood up with her wand out.
"Both of you out, you're getting mud everywhere!" She shouted. Sirius and James stopped fighting and got up.
"Sorry." James said with a frown. I had to laugh. They looked like they were five and being told off by their mum. I looked at Sirius and felt my heart speed up slightly as it did every time I saw him. I was an idiot, I'm stupid, I should have never broken up with him.
"We didn't mean it." Sirius muttered. Lily looked quite annoyed. I know she spent a lot of time tidying up. My Lily was become a house witch! Now that was a very very worrying thought.
"Both of you go and clean yourselves up, James, you're not touching Harry until you've gotten rid of the mud on you." Lily said, her voice getting dangerously low. James nodded and took a step back away from Harry.
"Come on Sirius" James said dragging his best friend out of the living room, leaving Lily scowling at the muddy patches on the floor.
"No Bo" Jenny said, picking Bo up to stop him from playing in the mud.
"Scourgify." Lily said, flicking her wand. The mud on the floor disappeared and the room was mud free again.
"See, now did you have to get that angry with the boys?" I asked Lily.
"No but it's fun." Lily said. "I have to practice for when Harry's older and who better to practice on the James Potter and Sirius Black?" Lily asked.
"Good point." Jenny remarked. I glanced at Harry who was flapping his arms in the air then bringing them down and hitting his hands on the floor between his legs.
"Good evening ladies." Said Remus from the door. When he came in he looked mud free. Peter followed him, also free of the icky brown stuff.
"How are you so clean and my husband isn't?" Lily asked.
"You're husband is irresponsible." Remus answered. Lily smirked. Remus went to Jenny and took Bo from him.
"Hello." He said. Bo grinned and hugged Remus tightly. I had to smile. Remus looked so happy when he was with Jenny and Bo. They should so get married...again. Jenny moved over and Remus sat down next to her. Ah, they're really cute together. Like Lily and James are really cute. Why does everyone look so cute when they're with each other? I don't get it.
"So, Peter." I said, stretching out slightly and made room for him on the sofa. He sat next to me uncertainly. "What you been up to, we haven't spoken for ages." I said to him. He smiled.
"That would be because you're always working." He said.
"I hear you're busy as well. You little law enforcement people." I said with a grin. Peter laughed and shrugged.
"Yeah, I'm busy as well. You know You-know-who is more active"
"You can say his name." Lily said as she bent over and picked up Harry. He had a bit of mud on his nose and Lily wiped it off.
"Oh yeah, well at the office they're really nervous about me saying it so it's habit I reckon." Peter said. It was the same at Auror headquarters. They were all so scared about saying Voldemort and Peter was right. Voldemort was getting a lot more active. According to Dumbledore at the Order meetings he was really anxious to find Lily and James. No one knew why, everyone at the order only knew that Lily and James had to go into hiding, or Lily had to anyway with Harry. The auror headquarters wouldn't let James go.
"We're back!" Sirius said coming into the room all tidy and clean. I felt my heart jump into my throat. It was a complete mistake for me to break up with him. But it was too late now, he was dating Yasmine.
"Gimme Harry before James comes. We're going to play hide and seek." Sirius said holding his arms out. Harry looked at him then nestled his head against Lily's chest. Lily gave Sirius a smug smile and held Harry tighter.
"Sorry honey." Lily said. Sirius laughed startling me and Peter.
"Merlin Sirius!" I said
"April" Lily said to me, "Language." I gave Lily a very unamused look
"Yes mother" I said.
"It's for your own good." Lily said in a motherly voice.
"Shut up." I said picking up a cushion. Sirius stepped between me and Lily.
"I'm afraid I can't let you hurt my god son." He said with his arms crossed. I laughed and threw the cushion at Sirius. "Hey." I stuck my tongue out. "Oh you." He started towards me.
"Help me Peter." I said, hiding behind Peter. Peter looked slightly confused as I got up and climbed over the back of the sofa and behind Peter. Sirius laughed at Peter's expression. I felt like seeing and bent my head over his to look.
"AH!" Peter said in surprise. I laughed and jumped off the sofa.
"Please you two, no fighting." Remus said tiredly.
"Oh," Sirius said pouting, "Why not?" Ok, don't do anything, I love that look on Sirius.
"'Cause April can whoop your arse any day." Jenny said with a smirk.
"Language! We are trying to set an example here to the babies. Do we really want them growing up cursing?" Lily said loudly.
"Sorry Lily." Sirius and I said at the same time. She looked at us and shrugged.
"Where's James?" She asked.
"Right her mi amor." James said coming in. He had a little red rose in his hands and grinned at Lily as she looked at him slightly surprised.
"I just popped over to Diagon Alley and got this for you. Hope you like it." He said.
"Aw." Sirius said as Lily gave James a kiss.
"Do you want us to leave?" Peter asked. Lily and James broke apart.
"No it's fine." Lily said blushing slightly
"Well I'm going to go now anyway. I told my parents I'd go visit because Becky is coming back from America for a few days and I really want to go and see Becky." I said stretching slightly.
"Ok, James take Harry for a moment." Lily said handing Harry to James. Harry didn't seem to want to let go of Lily so she just held him where he was comfy against her and came to me.
"See you tomorrow" she said giving me a hug as best as she could without crushing Harry. I smiled.
"See ya Harry." I said kissing Harry's head. "See ya guys."
"Bye" They chorused. I rolled my eyes and apparated to my parent's house
Ok, not good, not good. This is sooo not good. I glanced around. I was stuck. I wasn't supposed to be stuck. I groped around for my wand but I couldn't find it and it was too dark to see anything.
"Um, Lumos." I said. I saw a light a little way away. "Ah." I reached for it but the light lifted up and it was shone in my face. I squinted and held my hand over my eyes.
"Marsden, we told you not to come looking for us." Said the voice of the ever slimy Lucius Malfoy.
"Fuck off Malfoy." I said. I felt a pair of hands grabbing my arms and pulling them behind my back. I was pulled to my feet by my arms so hard that I felt my shoulder crack and a whip like pain shooting through my arm. I let out a scream of pain on instinct.
"Now, you're going to tell us where Lily and James Potter are." Lucius said as a light came on. I was surrounded by deatheaters wearing their hoods. How did I get here? I don't know. Last thing I actually properly remember was fighting next to James and then I was in this dark room holding my wand until someone kicked it out of my hand.
"I'm not telling you." I spat at him. Lucius Malfoy walked up to me. He was the only one who wasn't wearing his hood. He raised his hand and slapped it across my face. I felt the ring on the back of his hand against my skin as well as the force of his slap. I felt something trickle down my cheek and I knew I was bleeding.
"Tell us or you will be the first of your friends to die."
"Kill me then, I don't care!" I shouted at him. "I'd rather die then see Lily and James die because of me."
"Crucio!" he said. I fell to my knees as a pain like a thousand knives went through my body. I wanted to curl up but who ever was holding me prevented me from doing so. I tried not to scream with pain as it increased. It now felt like I was being flayed alive. I couldn't stand it. On top of it my shoulder was in even more pain as I felt it move in a weird angle. The pain suddenly disappeared and I went limp in the arms of the deatheater I was in.
"Are you ready to tell us now?" Came a different man's voice. I was breathing heavily and I couldn't lift my head off the floor. "Let her go." I fell to the floor roughly and managed to stay on my knees. I moved my good arm and felt my injured shoulder. Yep, my shoulder was at a funny angle. If only I could get my wand. I looked up at Lucius Malfoy and his new partner hatefully.
"I'm not telling you anything. Find someone else to tell you." I snapped at him. I slowly got to my feet and faced Lucius Malfoy. His grey stone like eyes filled with a hatred that only came from one such as the one he had for Witches and wizards like Lily. I stared at him and used all my mind to try and get into his mind. Flashes of a young blonde haired boy went through my head. Narcissa Black was now Narcissa Malofy. I could see flashes of Lucius meeting with Voldemort. Wait, I knew the place he was meeting with Voldemort. Suddenly the flashes stopped and I blinked a few times.
"That was a dangerous thing to do." Lucius snarled. I smirked.
"How is young Draco eh?" I asked him. Lucius glared at me. He raised his wand. Ok, this deffinately wasn't good either. I took a step back and went into someone. I turned around and came face to face with another deatheater. Right, all the entrances were blocked off. I felt something slightly unfamiliar rising in my body. It was panic, I've never panicked before but I was beginning to now. Oh shit, ok, think what would Lily do. Keep a cool head and think of a Muggle way to get out. I turned again to face Lucius. What do the Muggles do in the movies? Most of the time they use that wired kicking thing, Fung Ku. No, Kung fu. Well I think it's called that. THINK APRIL!
I took a steady breath.
"Alright, I'll help you if you do one thing for me." I said. Lucius gave me a look. "Come closer." I said. He reluctantly took a step closer. His mistake. As soon as he was close enough I brought my knee up to connect with his groin. He doubled over and dropped my wand. I quickly bent down and grabbed it. Shit, my wand arm is the one that's injured. I held the wand in my left hand, I'd never done this before, using my left arm, it felt weird.
"Expelliarmus." I shouted at the nearest deatheater. He was caught unawares. I turned and said the same charm to a few other deatheaters.
"Crucio." I moved out of the way.
"Stupefy!" I shouted, the jet of red light just missed the deatheater. "Shit." I muttered. I ran to a table and knocked it over. I crouched down beside it and conjured a quick makeshift sling. I gritted my teeth in pain as I manoeuvred my arm into it. The table began to move and I looked at it alarmed.
"Reducto" someone said. The table shattered and I quickly ran off and dodged several spells.
"There's no where to go Marsden. You're trapped in this room." Lucius said. I looked around. Damn, he was right. The only door was on the other side of the room and Lucius himself was standing in front of it.
"Let me out and none of you will go to Azkaban" I said to give them something else to think about for a moment while I thought of a few more jinxes and curses. The deatheaters all started laughing.
"You think that you will be able to send us all to Azkaban? You won't get out of the room alive" I glanced around. A window with dusty curtains. I smiled.
"Incendio." I whispered. A jet of fire spurted out of the end of my wand and to the curtains. I turned around and set fire to the table fragments on the other side of the room. This should be fun to get out of.
"Fire!" Someone shouted.
"Put it out then you imbecile." Lucius said. in the confusion that followed I managed to get out of my hiding placed and slammed a fist into the back of one of the deatheaters.
"Locomotor Mortis." I said making the body drift back to my hiding place. I let his body drop on the floor. The room was starting to fill with smoke and my eyes were beginning to water. I bent over the deatheater and pulled off his cloak. Avery? He was a deatheater? I didn't have time to be too surprised. I did a complex spell that I'd learnt off Moody and made sure Avery couldn't apparate away when he woke up, if he woke up. I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to do this. I pulled up my jumped sleeve and pointed my wand at it. The dark mark appeared on my skin, only a glamour but the sight of it nearly made me sick. I tansfigured my auror robes into a ring and pulled the deatheater robe on. I felt like being sick, I really did. I had the dark mark as a glamour on my arm in case someone asked to see it and I was wearing the robes of a deatheater. I made sure that no hair was visible and stepped out, I had to disguise my voice.
"She's dead, it's alright." I said, trying to make my voice as deep as possible. Lucius looked at me through the smoke.
"Damn, how did she die?"
"I think she choked on the smoke, really smoky behind there." I said. Lucius nodded.
"Come on, before the whole house burns down. At the Riddle house the dark lord wants us." Lucius said. They all apparated away. The Riddle house? I hesitated a moment. I couldn't just leave Avery there, to burn to death. I frowned and bit my lip.
"Finite Incantatum, enervate." I said pointing my wand at him before apparating to wherever the Riddle house was. When I opened my eyes I was in a dark room with several deatheaters.
"Ok, now that you're all here." Came an inhuman voice. I shivered, that voice had been in my head for a year last year. He had tried to get me to turn against my friends. I looked up and saw Voldemort in front of me. What was I doing? I've gone mad. I couldn't pass myself off as a deatheater but it was the only thing I could do. James and Sirius were probably out looking for me.
"Why aren't you with Marsden?" He asked Lucius.
"She died in a fire." Lucius said, "Bitch made the fire herself, a bit stupid." A few deatheaters murmured their agreement. I nodded slightly as well.
"Very well. The next target will be Chang or the half breed. We need to find the Potters."
"Why?" someone challenged.
"Don't question my motives, just do as I say." Voldemort said.
"I believe that Chang is leaving for China again tomorrow, I've been looking at the records at the ministry." Another deatheater said. Voldemort lowered his hood. I stopped myself from flinching. He didn't look human anymore. He had looked relatively human last time I saw him but not any more.
"She is? Well we'll have to go for the half breed."
"What about my cousin, the blood traitor?" asked a voice I vaguely recognised.
"Not yet Bella. We must wait until all the weaker friends have been picked off. They will be easier to get information from."
"What about Pettigrew then?" Someone else asked. They were talking about her friends, they were talking about killing them. April stayed quiet and tried to keep her breakfast inside her body
"Why don't we just go and search for the Potters ourselves." Someone asked. "It can't be that hard, I'm sure that more then just their friends know where they live."
"We've tried but it seems that it's only their friends family and Dumbledore that seem to know where they live." Another deatheater said.
"Family?" Voldemort said sounding curious. Uh oh. "This meeting is over. Lucius, Bella, Rudolf, I want you to stay here." The three deatheaters nodded. "The rest of you, continue to search for where the Potters live or try and kill the members of that blasted Order. They're getting in the way." Voldemort said. all the deatheaters nodded so I nodded as well. I disapparated out and apparated in a hallway that I knew. The pain in my arm was starting to kill me, I was starting to feel it again. I hissed in pain and put my left hand on my arm.
"Lily, attack!" James shouted. I turned to see James with his wand pointing at me. I realised that obviously he thought I was a deatheater.
"James no-" I started to say but someone grabbed me from behind. Obviously not Lily, this person was way to strong. I screamed in pain as the person held my arms down.
"I recognise that scream." Came Sirius' voice. Sirius didn't loosen his grip on me and I was beginning to feel faint with the pain in my arm. I felt my legs give way and I fell to the floor. I rolled over and pulled my hood off.
"Shit, April. We've been looking all over for you." Sirius said running to my side.
"Lily, it's alright." James called. Lily came running down the stairs with Harry in her arms.
"Who-April!" Lily said. I pushed myself against the wall and held my arm. Sirius tried to help me up but I pushed him away so I could lean against the wall. He looked at me worriedly and reluctantly got up.
"Go away." I said. I gritted my teeth in pain. "Lily, arm." She nodded and handed Harry to James. James took the baby boy and looked at me curiously.
"What are you doing in deatheater's garb?" James asked. Lily helped me take the robes off and then she helped me with my jumper.
"Because I was trying not to get killed." I said. I heard Lily gasp slightly when she saw the dark mark on my arm. "It's not real." I said. "I swear, you've been searching for me haven't you? I was trapped, Lucius Malfoy tried to kill me they think I'm dead. The didn't know who I was when I was undercover." Lily looked at me slightly uncertainly.
"Are you sure?"
"It's a glamour." I said. Lily looked at me then got her wand out.
"Finite Incantatum." She said. The dark mark disappeared. She looked relieved and then looked at my shoulder. I looked at Sirius and James who looked at each other uncertainly.
"I'm not sure April, we have to be careful about who we trust. I mean you turn up in deatheater stuff-"
"Look, dark marks don't normally go poof, ow!" I said as I felt Lily click my shoulder back into place.
"Sorry." Lily said. "Hang on a minute, nearly healed."
"Yeah but still." Sirius said. I knew why they were apprehensive, I'd be uncertain too if Sirius had turned up in a deatheater robe and fake dark mark.
"Lily you believe I'm not evil don't you?" I asked her. She smiled and then helped me to my feet.
"Of course you're not evil. You'd never turn against me."
"Your family might be in danger." I said quickly. Lily looked at me.
"What?" She asked seriously.
"I went to one of their meetings. I think your family might be in danger."
"What makes you think that?" James asked.
"I went to one of their meetings, don't you listen!" I snapped. I took the ring off my finger and turned it back into my auror robes. Harry gave a slight 'ooo' of amazement. Lily took Harry back and looked at me.
"Is there anything you could do to stop it? I can't save all my family." Lily said.
"I could always go back and try and find out more but if I'm caught I'm going to be killed. I was almost killed today."
"Fire?" Sirius asked. I nodded. "I can smell the smoke on you." I nodded again. I looked at Lily, who was frowning.
"I'll go to my parents and tell them to keep an eye out then." Lily said.
"I'll go and tell Dumbledore" James said. Lily nodded.
"Right undercover for me then." Sirius said.
"What about me?" I asked. Lily handed me Harry.
"Baby sit." Lily said. I took Harry in my arms and watched the others go. Harry whined slightly as he was separated from Lily but he soon cuddled up against me and closed his eyes.
"Fine, leave me." I muttered bitterly. "I was the one who found all this out, I was the one who nearly died!" Harry looked up at me and instantly I really didn't mind. "But babysitting is great, so Harry, what do you want to do?" I asked him as I took him to the kitchen. Harry looked around the kitchen and pointed at James' broom in the corner.
"No." I said. "I'll get you something to eat then I'll go and read you something. I know how fussy your mum gets." Harry started muttering to himself as I put him on the table and got a bottle of milk out of the fridge. I used my wand to warm it up and then picked up Harry again. I took him upstairs and put him on a beanbag in his room that I think Sirius had got him. Harry seemed to like it, he sat there wriggling in it and laughing. I shook my head. I like babysitting duty.
"Ok, Harry, what do you want to read?" I asked as I went to his little set of shelves. Most of the stuff on the shelves were his toys. He had quite a few toys for a baby. James and Lily really weren't sparing any expense for Harry either. I looked at a soft toy, 'Zonkos finest' said the label on it. Those were expensive. Well, Harry was going to be a very well off boy. I was about to put the bear back when Harry caught my attention. He had his arms out and was grabbing the air. I waved the bear and he nodded. I smiled and gave it to him. Harry cuddled it and started just sat and stared at me.
"April." Someone whispered. I waved a hand at whoever was prodding me. I was comfy on the floor. Whatever I had my head on was comfy.
"April." The person said again.
"Go away." I murmured, "I'm tired."
"I would like my baby back." Oh, it was Lily. I opened my eyes a fraction and she stood above me with a smile. She had a camera in her hands.
"You didn't take a photo of me did you?" I asked.
"Yeah, you look so sweet. Can I have Harry back?" I glanced next to me. Harry was fast asleep in my arms with his teddy bear.
"Yeah." I said. I let go of Harry as Lily picked him up gently and held him carefully so as to not wake him up. I sat up and Lily helped me to my feet.
"What time?"
"Early morning." Was all Lily said. I nodded. "Jenny's staying at Remus' for tonight, use the spare room if you want." I nodded and started out of the room with Lily.
"He's a good boy." I said pointing to Harry and trying to stifle a yawn. Lily smiled and kissed the top of Harry's head.
"I know. Night April." I murmured something but before I knew anything I was asleep again on the bed in the spare room.
A/N:-Ok a little bit of Action there, i felt the story was getting a bit boring and dragging a bit. I've actually got no inspiration to write action, i just wanna write fluff, and more fluff and even more fluff but that'll get boring so next chapter will be some hatred and jealousy and a bit of shouting and sadness (if you want to sympathise with a not so lovable character)...still not telling you who the next chapter is but it's quite short, i couldn't be bothered to write much.
As for how this thing is going to end...so many conflicting views begins to cry I dunno what to dooo....I have a plan of how they can survive but i also have an idea for when it's finished i have a chapter by Sirius (which will cover about 12 years) then i'll have one that skips a couple of years to Sirius memorial/funeral thing, a chapter by Harry (Harry's POV) which i really want to write but i don't want to kill Lily and James.....AAAARRRGGHH!!! I love them so much in this story (I know it's my own story) AAARRRGGHH!!!
