Disclaimer: Hahah, right, like you really thought I owned Harry Potter?!?

          "Sirius…my parents…they're…they're…"

          "What? They invited us over for the hols?

          "Voldemort's holding my parents hostage for something."

          "Oh my gawd…no…what, I mean, why…how…"

          "I don't know Sirius…the Minister just owled me…Dumbledore won't let me go talk to the Aurors …but I  need to go… someone to go with me .. come with me…"

          "Oh my gawd, James, I am so sorry…I don't know how this could happen…But…I can't go with you! You know about my parents, and I—"

          "I know, Sirius…I wanted to take Lily, I need to get there right away, but she wont talk to me…"

          Remus ran over to the troubled two, saying, "James, Dumbledore told me, I know all about it…Peter too! I am dreadfully sorry, but, you know that if I turn into a werewolf I'll be dead meat, if those Aurors catch me, and…you know?"

          No one was making any sense. No one spoke in complete sentences. Peter piped up, "I'll go with you!" James nodded.

          James, eyes blurry, ran back to his dorm, bumping into teachers, knocking down first-years. He quickly scribbled a note.                                         Dear Professor Dumbledore,

                             I know that you didn't give me permission to see the Aurors, but I must talk to them, ask questions, and I'm sure that they want answers from me too. I'm taking Lily Evans with me. I'll do my best to protect her…she's not the one that Voldemort wants…it's me. She doesn't deserve to die.

                                      Please don't inform the school about this trip,

                                                          James Potter

          Peter said, "You-Know-Who doesn't want you, he kidnapped your parents! Why would he want you?" James didn't respond, but Sirius and Remus glanced at each other.

          "C'mon Peter, you tell Lily that Amos wants her in the field ASAP, and then I'll grab her and I'll pull her onto my broom, ok?"

          "What about me?"

          "Fool, you take your broom and zoom after me, ok? GO!"

          So little Peter ran as fast as his little legs would let him, gasping for breath as he caught Lily on the stairway. "Lily! Amos wants to speak to you…it's quite urgent!" 

          "Oh, darn! Um, tell him that I'm busy…please."

          "No! I mean…it's very very urgent…he wont take no for an answer…its about…err…about your parents…?"

          Is something wrong" Are they okay? Ohmigod, oh no…ok…take me there!"

          As Lily walked, James grabbed her, and pulled her onto his broom. She had screamed, and James started, "Lily, please, just listen to me.."

          "GET AWAY FROM ME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??"

          "SSHHH! Lily, please, I'm begging you, I've never asked you for anything before, Lily, just please…listen…" There was a loud silence. "Thank you. My parents are being held hostage by Voldemort and I need to talk to the Aurors and ask them some questions and I wanted you to come with me, so I go grabbed you, and I know that he is after me, not my parents, I just have this feeling inside of me, and…well there is a lot that I need to tell you—"

          "Ohmigod James I am so sorry, I'm sorry for everything, and I—"

          "Lily, its fine, but this isn't really the time for this! You see…I have these…dreams. Only they aren't dreams, I've just realized! I mean….it's so hard to explain…I see things in my sleep, either before they happen, or while they happen, and –"

          "Ohmigod! Ohmigod, James! You mean you take Occlumency?"

          "No, I don't, but Dumbledore suggested it to me, and … we're here!"

          "Maybe I should wait here, because—"

          "No, come on, Lils, I need you."

          "It might be a little uncomfortable and –-"

          "Lils, come on!"       

          Lily felt like an intruder. Intruding upon James's grief. She watched hopelessly as James talked to the Aurors. She heard bits of their conversation.

          "Mister Potter, we assure you that we are doing out best to locate the where-about of You-Know-Who."

          James grumbled loudly but there was nothing he could do to convince the Aurors to converse with him. "Please, just—"

          "Good day, Mister Potter."

          Cursing, James grabbed Lily and dashed out of the building.

          James didn't know what to do. His mind was in turmoil. Should he take Lily back to school, or take her to his house, or what? He finally decided on taking her to a secluded forest, so he could get some things off his chest.

          A/N: Yes, I know. VERY disappointing chapter. I'm sorry, really, it is so not my fault! I'm just…never free, yunnoe?!
