A/n I'm sorry it has taken me so long to put up this chapter.
Just a game
Chapter nine
James was sat in the Gryffindor common room with his friends, all his friends had noticed that James didn't seem normal self.
"Ok what's wrong?" Asked Sirius.
"What do you mean?" Asked James.
"There is something wrong James" Remus commented.
"No there isn't" James muttered.
"So why do you look so worried?" Asked Peter.
"I don't" James replied getting up.
"Where are you going?" Asked Siruis.
"I've got to go and talk to someone" he repiled.
He went over to where Carla was sat.
"Any news?" He asked.
"No none but I've told Dumbledore that's she's missing" she replied.
"That was a good idea" James said quietly.
"Yeah he said he would do what he could but he couldn't help much because we don't have any idea where she might be" Carla said.
"I'm sure she'll be fine" James said trying to sound encouragingly.
"Yeah" muttered Carla smiling weakly.
James got up and went back over to his friends.
"Something's going on, you don't normally talk to Carla" Remus said.
"Yeah and where is Lily?" Asked Sirius as he saw Olivia come in the common room on her own.
"I don't know" James said.
Lily was sat in the dark room. Her head was in her hands as she tried to think of something to do to get out of there but she couldn't think of anything. There was a noise like a key in a lock, Lily looked up at the door as it opened and a cloaked figure with a mask on came in the room.
"Follow me" was all the person said. Lily got up and winced as she put all of her weight on her legs.
Lily followed the person down several dark corridors.
"Where are you taking me?" Asked Lily, there was no reply but she hadn't expected one.
Then the person opened a door.
"Go in" they said and Lily went inside and the person closed the door from the other side.
Lily looked round the room she was now in. It was a lot lighter than the room she had been in, then she noticed why, it had a window.
Lily walked over to the window and tried to undo it but it was either stuck or locked. She walked away from the window and wondered why she was here? And who had brought her to this place and where was this place?
James had just finished eating when he saw Eleanor leave the great hall and he remembered about the letter. He got up and went after her.
"Where is he going now?" Asked Sirius.
"Eleanor!" He called; she was already at the top of a flight of stairs
"Hello James" she said waiting for him to catch up with her.
"I have to ask you something" he said when he got to the top of the stairs.
"Go ahead" she said.
"Do you know anything about codes?" He asked.
"Not much" replied Eleanor.
"Lily said you did" James said.
"I really don't know much" Eleanor muttered.
"Would you still take a look at a letter for me?" Asked James
"Sure" she said.
"Would you mind not telling anyone about it" he said.
"Of course I don't mind" she said.
"Thanks" muttered James and got out the letter for her.
"Lily and I found the letter yesterday but now she's gone missing and I think it might have something to do with the letter" James said.
After a few minutes of looking at the letter Eleanor said
"I'm really sorry but I've never seen this type of code before".
"It's ok; do you know anyone else who might know about codes?" He asked.
"Carla Leng, she's in my ancient runes class and she's normally got a book on language and codes with her" she said.
"I'm surprised Lily didn't suggest her" James muttered thoughtfully, Eleanor just shrugged.
"Thanks anyway" James said
"You're welcome" she said as he headed off to the Gryffindor common room.
As he entered the common room he saw Carla and Olivia sat at a table in the corner.
"Carla can I talk to you?" James asked.
"Yes" said Carla and looked at Olivia.
"Fine I'll go" Olivia said and left.
"So what do you want?" Carla asked.
"Someone told me you knew about codes" he said.
"I know a bit" Carla muttered.
"Would you look at a letter lily and me found yesterday" James said.
"Yes I'll look at the letter but I didn't know you and Lily got on" Carla said.
"You won't tell anyone about the letter will you?" He asked avoiding the comment she had made.
"I won't if you don't want me to" she said and James handed her the letter.
Carla studied the letter, then she got a piece of parchment and a quill out of her bag.
"Do you understand any of it?" James asked.
"Yes" Carla said as she wrote down the letter in English, then she handed that letter to James.
James read it.
This is to inform you that someone at Hogwarts has some idea of what is going on.
If I found out that you were the one to tell her your life will not be worth living.
Do you understand?
I would be happy if you would help me get her to one of the meetings so I can see
how much she knows and if I can change her.
Bring her to the next meeting her name is Evans.
James put down the letter.
"Voledmort" James muttered.
"We should tell Dumbledore" Carla muttered.
"Yes and soon by the sounds of this letter" James said quietly.
"By the looks of the letter he's going to try and turn her into a death eater" Carla said.
"But she wouldn't so... he'll kill her" muttered James sounding very worried and Carla saw the colour go from his face.
"I thought you didn't like Lily" Carla said.
"We've been talking a lot lately so I guess we get on ok now" he said.
"James pick up the letter, we're going to Dumbledore" Carla said, James picked up the letter and the two of them went off to Dumbledore's office.
"Butterbeer" Carla said when they got to the stone gargoyle. It moved to the side letting them go in.
They went up the stair to the door of Dumbledore's office. Before either of them knocked on the door someone said "come in". Carla opened the door.
Professor Dumbledore was sat behind his desk writing some thing on a piece of parchment.
"Mr Potter, Miss Leng how can I help you?" he asked looking up from what he was writing and put down his quill.
"Well professor I found this letter when I was with Lily" James said handing the letter over to Dumbledore.
"And I have transferred it into English" Carla said handing that copy to him as well.
