Four people were out walking in a forest. There were two girls and two boys. They were acting like most people their age, fooling around and laughing. Other than the tens laughter the forest was eerily quiet. No wind rustled the branches, no birds called to their mates' just silence. One of the girls noticed this irregularity and went silent. Slowly the others quieted down, not knowing why, but doing it by instinct. They sped up wanting out into the warmth of the streetlights.

In a rush many things happened. There was a loud crack, the wind howled and they all screamed than froze. Through the wind they heard a swish of a cloak, then suddenly before them stood a towering black figure. He laughed, it wasn't like the laughter that had been ringing mere minutes ago, it was cruel and merciless. He looked over the frozen teens and picked his target. He pulled out his wand and aimed it at her. A flash of green appeared and the teens broke out of their trance. The other girl jumped in front of his target. She yelled 'RUN' before her body crumpled to the ground lifeless.

They ran, heeding to her request, even though fear gripped them. One of the boys tripped and another green flash hit. The remaining survivors ran holding each other's hand. The girl tripped bringing down the boy with her.

The man stood over them. He cried out an incantation and put a red X on the boy's chest. It disappeared down. A look of immense pain captivated his expression. The girl pushed the air with her hands and the man disappeared. The girl began to cry as she watched the boy died.

Above the forest a green skull with a snake protruding from its eye, glittered ominously.

A/N: Ok sorry this was so short. The next chapters will be MUCH, MUCH longer. I also know this was a really dark chapter but I tend to start my stories dark or sad. I hope the rest of it is a bit happier but I might keep like OOTP in darkness. Oh yeah the surviving girl is not Lily. She comes in next chapter. Well I'll probably update tomorrow or the day after.
