Meanwhile, in the bushes, James and his friends were glaring at Severus, Lucius, and Anthony.
"You're ALL Death Eaters?! And you couldn't tell us what was going on BEFORE we let that guy take her?!" James whispered angrily.
Lucius shrugged, "If we had, you and her parents would be dead, we'd be traitors, and she would still have gone with him."
"That would be a no-win situation," Serverus said pointedly.
"Still, you could have said something about where we were going," Sirius said.
"Like what?" Anthony asked.
"Guys, there was nothing else they could have done. This wasn't their fault," Remus told James. "Maybe we should be quiet, and Malfoy, you guys should get going."
"Right," Severus nodded and disapparated, followed shortly by his two friends.
Sirius gaped, "They can't do that!"
"They just did, keep your voice down," James warned.
Severus, Lucius, and Anthony appeared in front of Cleave, Nore, and Karakoff.
"What's happening?" Lucius asked.
"We were wondering when you would get here," Karakoff said.
"We had to ditch those guys," Severus said boredly.
"We figured as much," Nore said. "You're just in time. The girl is in the car, we have to take her to my lord."
"Is she what we think she is?" Cleave asked.
Anthony shrugged, "What do you think she is?"
"An elemental," Nore said, a bit of awe in his voice.
"I thought those were legends," Anthony replied.
"Seems my lord believes there is one, and that she is it," Karakoff informed them.
"Yeah, she is," Lucius said coolly.
James had the irrational desire to jump out from the bush and strangle him. As it was, he glared at him while Anthony and Sirius and Remus looked shocked. Lily didn't know what to think.
"Her eyes keep changing, and other stuff happens," Severus added.
Nore and Cleave sighed in relief, Karakoff said, "See, I told you that she was one."
"And we were supposed to trust you?" Nore asked sarcastically.
"Oh, come on. Let's get her to my lord, he is not a patient man," Karakoff said.
