Chapter eight

James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were in Zonkos joke shop.

Sirius was stood trying to decide what to buy.

"What's up Sirius?" Asked Remus.

"I'm trying to decide what to buy for the Slytherins" muttered Sirius

"Why are you buying the slytherins anything?" Asked Peter.

"Well Pete I think they deserve a little present" Sirius replied grinning.

"What sort of present?" Asked James.

"Well I was thinking about giving them that mirror over there" said Sirius still grinning.

"What does it do?" Asked Peter and walked over to it.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Peter.

"What's wrong Peter?" Asked Remus.

"I looked like a...girl" he muttered. James looked at Sirius grinning slightly.

"And how are you going to give it to the Slytherins?" Asked James.

"With a little help from you James" said Sirius slinging his arm round his best friend and buying the mirror.

"Why do I get the feeling that this is a bad idea" muttered Remus to himself following his friends out of the shop.

Lily, Carla and Olivia had just entered the three broomsticks, which was full of people.

"Can you see any tables that are empty?" Asked Olivia looking round.

"I think there's one in that corner" said Carla.

"You two go and sit at the table I'll get the drinks" Lily said, Carla and Olivia left Lily to get the drinks.

The door opened letting in a lot of cold winter air.

Lily looked round to see the Marauders come in. She knew that they had been to zonkos by the way Sirius was grinning.

James came over to get the drinks.

"So have you seen Eleanor today?" He asked.

"No" lily replied.

"I think we should both try and see her after dinner" he said.

"What about Sirius?" She asked.

"He wouldn't want to see Eleanor, he hates her and she hates him" James remarked.

"Well I'll see you after dinner then" Lily muttered giving him a smile, picking up the three butterbeers she walked over to Carla and Olivia.

"So you're talking to James now, are you?" said Olivia with a quizzical look.

"Not really" muttered Lily, Olivia grinned

James walked back over to Sirius, Remus and Peter.

"James can I borrow your invisibility cloak tonight?" Asked Sirius.

"Why?" Asked James.

"So I can take the Slytherins gift to them" Sirius replied grinning.

"Yes you can borrow the cloak" James said.

"Aren't you going to help me?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know if I can" James replied.

"Why not?" Asked Peter.

"I can't say" James said knowing his friends wouldn't leave it at that.

"James we're your best friends" said Sirius; James looked pointedly at him, as Sirius already knew about the letters and what was going on.

"If he doesn't want to tell us he doesn't have to" Remus said, which James was very grateful for.

Lily, Carla and Olivia were still sat in the three broomsticks. Lily stood up

"I'll meet you two back here in half an hour, I need to go and get a book" she said leaving.

Lily went to buy a book on advanced runes and ancient writing hoping it might help her understand what the letters said without asking Eleanor.

As she left the shop she felt that someone was watching her but there were too many people about to tell.

Lily was getting more and more nervous as she walked back to the three broomsticks. She turned down a quiet street and she was hit by some sort of spell but she couldn't tell what as it was as her head hit the ground.

James was still sat in the three broomsticks; Carla came over to him.

"Hi" she said.

"Hello, sit down if you want" he said, she sat down.

"So what happened to your friends?" He asked.

"Olivia went back to Hogwarts and Lily should have met us here about 30 minutes ago" Carla said.

"Maybe she went back to Hogwarts" He suggested.

"It isn't the sort of thing Lily would do" muttered Carla.

"Maybe we should go and look for her; do you know where she was going?" He asked.

"Yeah she went to get a book" Carla said.

The two of them left the three broomsticks to look for Lily.

After looking around most of hogsmead they went back to Hogwarts to she if she was there.

Lily came to in a dark room, not knowing where she was or what had happened. She felt sick and dizzy but there was little she could do about that now. She sat up and looked round but couldn't see much as it so dark.

Lily went to get her wand out of her robe pocket but it wasn't there.

"Now what am I going to do?" She muttered to herself.
