Title: Of Death, Betrayls and Love

A/N: I am getting so behind! I owe you guys this chapter and three more. On the weekends I'll get all caught up.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Chapter: Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

James walked through into the Heads Common Room and looked around. Lily was passed out on one of the couches, papers strewn around her. He walked over and picked one up.

Ball Attire: Muggle dresses

Food: Hufflepuff

Decorations: Gryffindor's

Music: Slytherins

Posters: Ravenclaw

James furrowed his brow, 'We have a ball coming up?' He looked back down and skimmed all the pages; there was a list of the costs of all the items, their budget, order forms, pieces of cloth for decorations, ideas from the students, and so on; everything they needed was right here, in front of him. He looked at Lily and felt sorry for the work load that she had. 'But, I've got a responsibility too.' He thought, organizing the papers. It was the least he could do.

He walked over to the fireplace, through some floo powder in and said "Black Gate Forest" He disappeared through the fire place, just as Lily got up.

She yawned and looked at the papers below. "Now, I've got to organize," She said sleepily. She looked down at the papers. "What?" They were all ready to show Dumbledore. "James" She whispered softly.

James stepped out of the Fireplace and looked around. Order members were cramped inside of a small cabin. He spotted Laurel McKinnon a few feet away talking to Moody. He walked over and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Potter" She said curtly "We'll be attacking in a few minutes, I suggest you get prepared. Place your shield on and get the communicator spell done." She pointed to a small corner in the cabin "Meet me their in 5 minutes." He nodded placed a shield on himself and went to go get the Com. Spell done.

'Sometimes,' He thought 'I wish I could help Evans with all the plans and meetings.' He made a promise to himself when he took this job, 'Too make sure I live a normal life.' He looked around sadly; this was not a normal life.

"Snap out of it Potter," Said McKinnon walking over "Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be" He replied

She looked him over "Shield seems ok," She beckoned him to follow her "We're going to put you on a broom." Their was a bunch of brooms stacked in a corner, she looked at all of them searching for a specific one "I've heard you are an excellent flyer"

James nodded and she handed him a black broom. It had a silver handle and a lighting bolt on the side. "Is this a lighting bolt 2000?" He asked in disbelief. They weren't supposed to release this broom for another year.

She nodded "We have ties with a broom making company." She smiled a rare smile "It's yours to keep. Think of it as our gift to you. You are very brave to come and fight, James, a lot of kids would pass over this opportunity in fear of it ruining their lives." She placed her hand on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze before walking away.

James tried to get the lump in his throat to go down. Everyone here gave up their dreams to fight. He looked at the broom. 'And if that means I must do it also,' He looked at Laurel, 'then I will.'

There was a knock on the Common Room door and Lily went to open it. She looked around then saw Danny come out of the shadows, fearfully. "That damned cat was just over here," He whispered as she let him in.

Lily laughed "Ah, yes, that evil creature; stopping you from getting out of bed at this hour."

Danny scowled but quickly pulled her into a kiss. They broke apart, him smirking.

"You are lucky I like you," She said sitting down. He sat right next to her. "Now what can I do for you?"

"I wanted to ask you a question," He said slowly "Why aren't you talking to Arya?"

Lily pursed her lips "Because she called me a bitch and sided with James."

"She told me what happened and," He said nervously "Don't you think she's right?"

Lily gaped "You're siding with them too? James had a responsibility! He didn't come to the meeting." She pouted "He was supposed to come."

"You can't have everything you want Lily," He said "If he had something important to do, you have to understand that."

She looked away from him "I was counting on him to come."

"Why does it mean so much to you?" He asked "Why does him coming to a meeting mean so much? You always say you hate him, and nothing will ever change."

A tear slid down her cheek and she said softly "I don't know"

James rolled in mid-air, trying to avoid all the spells being sent his way. He increased his altitude, before plunging straight down and back up again. Another wave of spells came and he dodged them like buldgers.

"Moody," Said McKinnon "When you said he was a damned good flyer, I didn't think you meant he was this good."

Moody nodded "He's the best we have." She nodded and went back to fighting.

James flew up into the clouds and rested. Sweat was on his forehead and he cleaned his glasses. He looked at the gash on his arm and winced as he looked at it. He just missed the spell that did that. 'Have to be more careful' He thought before diving back into the action.

He rolled right and didn't even see the red flash of light before it was too late. He was thrown back of his broom and sent flying to the ground 40 feet below.

Laurel watched as James started to fall. Her eyes grew wide and she quickly sent a cushioning charm on the ground. James hit the ground with a sickening crunch, and then blacked out.

"McKinnion!" Roared Moody "Get that boy out of here!"

Laurel nodded and quickly ran over to James. He was breathing, but barely. She levitated him up and guided his body through the trees and into the cabin.

She lowered him onto the couch and quickly looked him over. His arm was broken, and his head was bleeding. She wrapped a bandage around his head and checked his eyes. They looked fine, but they wouldn't know about a concussion until he was in the hospital.

'Leave the Order and take James back,' She thought 'Or leave James until the fight is over.'

She walked over and looked out the window and saw the Dark Mark; someone was killed. She grabbed James' arm and disapparated to Hogsmeade.

Dumbledore waited outside the Great Halls doors, staring intently at the road before him. He received an owl from Laurel McKinnion saying she was brings James back because he was harmed.

In the distance a black carriage approached and quickly made it to the school. Laurel stepped out levitating James with her wand. Her face was unnaturally pale, with a few spots of dirt on it, and her long blonde hair was disheveled and mixed with mud. She looked at Dumbledore blankly with her steel gray eyes.

"Potter," She said swaying "Brought him here...fell off...broom...hit with spell." She collapsed onto the ground, James falling right next to her. Dumbledore carried them both into the Hospital Wing.

Sabrina walked through the quiet Hogwarts halls. Her shoes tapped the floor quietly as she quickly walked into a near Classroom.

"Bri?" Asked a voice. It was Drago.

"Drago," She whispered "I'm here"

Drago came out into the light and hugged her. "I've missed you so much, Bri."

She hugged him tightly "I love you, Dray." She looked into his eyes "Don't leave me"

He shook his head "I would never leave you" He kissed her hand "Not even your father can make me leave you."

"Don't talk about that monster" She said scowling "I am ready to move out. Start my own life. It is, after all, our last year." She looked nervous about the idea of not coming back.

"I want to be apart of your life" He said softly

"I wouldn't have it any other way," She said smiling before kissing him lightly.

He smiled at her "I love you more then anything, Sabrina. I want to be apart of your life forever and I never want to have to say goodbye." He got on one knee. Her hand flew to her mouth and her eyes began to tear. He took out a dark blue box and opened it. The diamond was shaped as a teardrop and on each side there was a traditional gem. On the left was a sapphire for the past, the middle a diamond for the present and the right an emerald for a new beginning. The band was white gold and on each side was their family crest. "Will you marry me?"

She pulled him into a deep kiss. "Yes I will"

(The next day) (James is still in the hospital)

Priscilla was sitting in the Common Room, staring up at the full moon. Remus had left earlier that night, once again. She sighed and thought 'I wonder where he goes. He's always gone. Hell, all the Marauders are gone.'

"Not James," Said a voice in her head "He's in the hospital wing"

'Arya?' She thought

Arya walked downstairs from their dormitory "Yeah, it was me"

"And what were you doing in my thoughts?" She asked scowling "Those aren't for you to see or hear."

Arya laughed as Priscilla tried to be angry. "So do you want to know what happened to James?"

Prissy nodded quickly "What?"

"Well, no one but Dumbledore knows." She said covering up smoothly. Prissy bought it.

"Do you think he was attacked?" She asked fearfully

Arya nodded "That's the only logical explanation."

"But he's Head Boy," She said wide-eyed "And Lily's Head Girl. What if there going to attack Lily next." She narrowed her eyes "I bet it was Danny! That good for nothing son of a bi-"

"Prissy" Exclaimed Arya "Let's not jump to conclusions! It was not Danny. He was with us yesterday, remember?"

"Yes but then he left."

"To see Lily," She said calmingly "It wasn't Danny. It was probably a Death Eater."

"Here? At Hogwarts? Don't be absurd Arya." Said Prissy "There all afraid of Dumbledore, remember?"

Arya glared at her "They can still come on these grounds, Priscilla. Don't forget that."

Prissy nodded "Fine, yes they can, but do you think that's what happened?"

'She wants information' Thought Arya 'Too tell the whole student body, no doubt about that' Arya sighed 'She is a best friend.'

Priscilla looked pleadingly at her and Arya nodded. "I think he was attacked but not on these grounds. He was probably being a Marauder and gallivanting in Hogsmeade." She looked at her "If one word gets out about this..."

Priscilla zipped her mouth shut. "I promise"

"No Prissy," Said Arya "You gossip about the new toilet bowls," she took out her wand "A simple spell will keep you from telling everyone."

Priscilla nodded sadly "Alright"

Arya did the spell and hugged her friend "It's only a temporary spell. We'll find out what happened soon enough."

Priscilla nodded and looked out the window "Where is Remus?"

Arya bit her lip "Have you asked him where he was going?"

She nodded "He said his niece died."

"So," Said Arya "What's wrong with that?"

Priscilla looked at her "Remus is an only child."

A/N: Well, how was it? Lol.
