-Nelly, Over and Over

"Hey Sirius!" Lily smiled as she walked into Sirius' and James' office as he walked out.

"Hello, Lillian dear," Sirius smiled and saluted her.

Lily entered the office and closed the door behind her.

"Hey," James set down his quill and greeted her, "How are you?"

"Fine," Lily replied, sitting down in Sirius' empty chair across from him, "I've got some good news."

"What?" James smiled as he spun around and around in his desk chair.

"I just got a message from Janet and she said we've got the house!" Lily said full of excitement.

"Really?" James asked and stopped spinning, "That's fantastic!"

"We can move into it in about a month!" Lily said as James stood up and hugged her, "Aren't you excited?"

"Very," James smiled into her red hair, "Do you think we should start thinking about setting that wedding date now that we officially have a house?"

Lily kissed James, "I think that would be a fabulous idea."

"Great," James smiled and was about to kiss Lily again when the door barged open and Sirius ran in panting.

"Attack!" He said clutching his stomach, "Wand-apparate-go…now!" He quickly caught his breath before apparating out of the office.

James and Lily whipped out their wands and apparated to the attack site quickly.

"What's going on?" James immediately asked when he arrived at the site.

"Death Eaters." Remus said coming up next to him, "They've been here for about fifteen minutes already. Didn't anyone here the attack alarm? Where is everyone?"

"I heard from Padfoot," James replied and ducked as a spell came out of a window of the house being attacked, "Have you seen Lily?"

"She was running in as I was getting out. I've got to get healed," Remus said pulling up his shirt to show James a large cut across his stomach, "Those buffoons have no damn aim."

"Alright, I'll talk to you later." James said patting Remus on the shoulder.

"Be careful, it's a mess in there." Remus replied before apparating to the hospital.

James quickly ran up the steps leading to the house and entered.

He walked into the house and was amazed by the amount of bodies lying around. James continued up the staircase, looking for the death eaters.

He was about to open a door when he heard a familiar scream.

"Lily!" he cried silently before blowing up the door and carefully walked into the dark empty room. James tried to observe the scene but the only light on was a small lamp where someone with dark red hair was sitting with her back facing James.

"Lily!" James said running towards her, "Are you okay?"

"Surprise." A deep male voice came from the body. "Lily" turned around, but instead of her beautiful face it was replaced by a cold pale face.

"Hello, Mr. Potter." The man said waving his wand and his disguise clothes disappeared.

"You!" James yelled.

"Some people would be a little more honored to be in my presence, Mr. Potter. Let's not abuse your privilege for seeing me." He grinned, facing James.

"You're scum!" James spat.

"Am I really scum? Or are you, for leaving your girlfriend in a big house alone?" Voldemort snapped his fingers and Lily appeared.'

"James don't listen-" Voldemort snapped his fingers again and Lily was soon tied up tightly with rope so she couldn't talk or move. James started to run towards Lily but Voldemort quickly snapped his fingers again and she was gone.

"What do you want?" James asked.

"Oh, just a little favor." Voldemort grinned, "See, I have this little goal I'm trying to accomplish and people like you keep getting in my way."

"People like me?" James asked angered, "You mean people that are able to stop you from killing innocent people?"

"Put it whatever way you wish, Mr. Potter." Voldemort glared, "But, I am willing to offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity. And I can assure you that if you don't agree, you will have no life time. All you have to do is…join me."

"And why should I join sides with you?" Voldemort asked.

"Well, I figured if your darling girlfriend would join me then you would as well."

"What!? She would never join you!"

"Really?" Voldemort asked as Lily came out from behind him.

"Lily!" James rushed towards Lily and studied her features. Once he was convinced it was her, he grabbed her hand and tried talking to her, "Lil, tell him that he's nuts and that you wont join him."

Lily looked down at their combined hands, "I've been thinking a lot about us and the future, James."

"Lily what are you saying?" James asked sounding worried.

Tears were falling down Lily's face, "I think we'll be safer if we join him."

"You're nutters!" James yelled, "Lil, focus! You know you don't wan this."

"I know I don't want to be with you anymore." Lily said taking her hands away from his, "This is my path. Are you going to join me or not?"

"I'll do you a favor, Potter." Voldemort smiled evilly, "I'll let you think about my offer. And I expect I'll be seeing you soon." Voldemort tossed an old book at James. When he caught it, he instantly disappeared.

Voldemort smiled at the spot in front of him where James was just standing, then turned to face the woman next to him.

"Wonderful job, Bellatrix, very convincible." He smiled at the blonde haired girl as Lily's face faded, "You have certainly served me well."

"Thank you, master." She said bowing.

"Where's the mudblood?" Voldemort asked sitting down in his arm chair.

"I let the others deal with her." She grinned.

"Good, but I have another plan," Voldemort replied, "Let her go."

"Let her go?!" Bellatrix asked appalled, "But master-"

"I believe I said to let her go!" Voldemort roared.

"Yes, you're right." She bowed, "Forgive me for questioning you, master."

"I'll forgive you this time, Bella." He replied, "Now go tell the others to let the mudblood go."

"Where should they put her? Won't she remember everything?" She asked.

"Knock her out…then take her and leave her somewhere. But, do not erase her memory."

"Yes, master." Bellatrix bowed one last time before apparating.

Voldemort grinned to himself, "Perfect."
