Before their eyes, it was March. All the 7th and 5th years stayed in to study for N.E.W.Ts or O.W.Ls. Even the Marauders were studying. Lily fell asleep while she sat in James' lap, reading. They book dropped to her chest. James picked up the book and set it on the table.

"No!... You can't!... Leave him alone!" Lily mumbled in her sleep.

"Lily," James shook her slightly.

She screamed and woke up. "Oh James." She turned around and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back and stroked her hair.

"It was just a nightmare Lily. It's ok," said James.

"Oh James! It felt so real," cried Lily. "I dreamt that Voldemort killed you!"

"Shh... I'm still here. I will always be here. No matter what happens, I will always be with you," said James. He kissed her forehead.

The other Marauders, Alex, and Alice looked up from their books and wand movements to look at her.

"Too much studying," said Sirius. "Let's all go to bed." Everyone closed their books and went up to their dorms to go to sleep.

That night a death-eater somehow got inside the castle and somehow got into the Gryffindor common room. She quietly knocked out the five 7th year girls and took Lily. She took out a parchment and set it on her bed. It read: "Your filthy little mudblood will be back as soon as she learned her lesson. A few Unforgivables should do the trick." She left the castle, unheard, with Lily.

The next morning Alex and Alice woke up with severe headaches. "Oh my-" Alice looked over at Lily's bed. "Where?s Lily?"

Alex spotted the letter and ran over to her bed. She gasped. "Alice! She's been kidnapped!"

Alice grabbed the letter and read it. "Oh my God! Lily! We have to tell James." They pulled on their bed robes and ran out of the dorm and straight into the boys' dorms. "James!" yelled Alice and Alex. They shook him.

"I'm up! I'm up! What's the matter?" asked James. The Marauders and Frank were all up now.

"It's Lily! She's gone!" said Alex.

"What do you mean, 'she's gone?'" asked James, worry filled his voice and he didn't even know what was going on. Alice handed him the letter. "We have to go find her!" James said after he finished reading it.

"We can't," said Sirius.

James rounded on him. "What do you mean, 'we can't?'"

Sirius rounded back on James. "We don't know where she is!"

"I'm looking for her whether you help or not," James grabbed his wand and headed for the door.

Sirius grabbed his best friend's shirt and threw him against the wall, hard. "Don't you dare think you're the only person here that is worried about Lily." Sirius said through clenched teeth. This was their first time they had actually gotten into a real fight. "Don't you dare go out there and do something stupid. They want you to play hero."

"We can't just sit around and wait for her to show up!" yelled James.

"We go tell Dumbledore," said Sirius. He let go of James. "Now."

Alice and Alex started to cry when they ran to breakfast. Everyone that was in the Great Hall looked at the crying girls and the worried Marauders. They ran to Dumbledore at the staff table and handed him the letter.

"Who would do such a thing," sniffed Alex, keeping her voice down. Remus put an arm around her.

"Abbey Calgon," simply said James. "It has to be. Or, it would have been hard to sneak into the castle."

"What are we going to do?" cried Alice, forgetting to keep her voice down. The whole hall fell silent.

"Keep your voice down," said Sirius.

"I'll have Aurors search everywhere for her," said Dumbledore.

"If you find her please let me be the first to know. I love her and I will want to know first," said James, worry still filled his voice. "I don't know what I'd do without her."

Dumbledore nodded. "Of course, Mr. Potter." He smiled.

"And I want the person responsible dead," James said seriously. They all turned and walked to their table. The rumors then started to fly.

"Wh-Where am I?" Lily woke up in a pitch-black room. "Oh my head." She tried to move her arms, but they were tied behind her, so were her legs. She heard a clank somewhere. "Oh I wish I had my wand." She knew one thing though; she wasn't in Hogwarts.

"You think you would get away from me that easily, did you?" said a very familiar voice from behind Lily. She muttered something and the torches burned with fire.

"You brought it upon yourself, Calgon. You'd still be at school if you hadn't used an Unforgivable," said Lily. Anger and fear filled her voice.

"You mean this curse?" said Abbey. "Crucio!" Lily screamed in pain and started to twitch. "Those fools at the Ministry couldn't hold me captive." She yelled over Lily's screams that echoed through the room. Abbey muttered the counter-curse. "A few of those will be needed." She muttered something and the ropes disappeared.

Lily rubbed her wrists. "Why are you untying me?" Lily stood up.

"Because, you won't be able to leave this room," smiled Abbey. "You'll stay here until I feel like letting you go. I don't want a filthy little mudblood contamination my house for long."

"Why are you doing this?" asked Lily. Tears started to fall from her eyes. "I haven't done anything to you."

"Well, it's more of the fact that you're a mudblood and that you were allowed to go to Hogwarts," smirked Abbey. Lily started to cry a little harder and fell to her knees. She wished James were there to hold her; to protect her. She looked down at her bracelet. The Hogwarts crest was missing. "Are you looking for this?" Abbey held up the charm. "I don't think you'll need this." She threw it into one of the torches. The orb on her bracelet was now a darker shade of gray. Lily cried harder. Abbey laughed and left; locking the door behind her. The torches stayed lit. Lily looked around her surroundings. It looked like a basement. Everything looked old and about to break.

Abbey walked in an hour later. Lily was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room. "Let's see how strong you really are," smirked Abbey. She handed Lily a razorblade. "Imperio!"

Lily heard Abbey's voice, echoing in some distant part of her brain: Slice your wrist...Slice your wrist...

Lily started to move the blade closer to her wrist.

Slice your wrist...

No, this is stupid. Another voice said in her head.

Slice your wrist...

You can really hurt yourself, said the over voice.

Slice your wrist...

No, I will no, the other voice said more firmly.

Do it! NOW!

The next thing Lily felt was a little pain in her wrist and her arm. She had both sliced her wrist and tried not to, causing pain in her arm. She looked down on her wrist. There was a tiny cut. No harm done.

Abbey cursed. "Damn you! Crucio!" Lily screamed and twitched in pain for the second time that day. Abbey muttered the counter curse and left; locking the door. Lily started to cry again. She stayed in the middle of the room all day. She didn't dare touch anything. They might all be a trap or something. Lily cried herself to sleep that night.

News of Lily's disappearance spread like wildfire through the school that day. The only ones that didn't seem to care were the Slytherins. The whole house didn't care, save one. Severus Snape cared deeply, but didn't show it. The only way you'd be able to find out that he cared was if you knew Legilimency. The Marauders weren't their normal selfs the whole day. They didn't even joke or try and pull a prank all day. The Marauders, Alex, and Alice walked slowly to each class. All their professors saw their sorrow and felt sorry, but they couldn't let them leave; N.E.W.Ts were around the corner. After dinner, they all went straight to their common room to study. Everyone kept on coming up to James and patting him on the back saying they were sorry and what not. Like she's dead!

"She's not dead!" James finally cracked when the 10th person came up to him. "God, would you people quit acting like it!" He slammed his book shut and went to his dorm, slamming the door behind him.

"I wish the Aurors would hurry up," said Alex. She rested her head on Remus' chest. He put an arm around her. They had became closer the past month.

"I fell sorry for James. He truly loves her," said Sirius. They all nodded.

"I just hope she's ok," said Alice. She leaned in on Frank, who was sitting with her through this ordeal.

"Come on," said Peter. "It's getting late. We should go to bed." They all agreed.

Lily woke up the next morning, very hungry. She hadn't ate for over 24 hours. But, she wasn't going to let Abbey see any weakness from her. She lay silent on the floor for about ten minutes. Then, she heard someone talk above her. She listened as hard as she could. He was questioning Abbey about...her!

"HELP! I'M DOWN HERE! PLEASE! SOMEONE HEAR ME!" yelled Lily as loud as she could. She just hoped that Abbey didn't put a silencing charm on the room. There were sounds of a fight above her. Then, she heard the door slam and she fell to her knees, crying.

Suddenly the door was thrown open and Abbey came in. She was very angry. "You are so lucky there was only one of them! I had to fight him because he heard you!" roared Abbey. "CRUCIO!" Lily screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The Marauders walked to their second class together. They all sat in the back of the class, not paying attention. Even Remus wasn't paying any attention whatsoever. They were worried about Lily and couldn't think of anything else. An owl flew to the professor and dropped a red note on the desk. The professor picked it up. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, Mr. Petigrew, Miss Rays, and Miss Turner...go to Professor Dumbledore's office immediately."

One by one, they looked up at their name being called and ran out of the classroom, not knowing what to think...good news or...bad news... They ran straight to Dumbledore's office. James yelled, "Chocolate Frogs!" and the griffin moved out of the way. They ran up the steps and flung the door open.

"Where is she? Is she ok?" asked James.

"She's at Abbey Calgon's house. An Auror was just over there. When Abbey opened the door, he knew who she was and he heard Lily's shouts, but was knocked out. She kicked him out of the house," said Dumbledore. "More Aurors are on the way."

"We're going over there," said James.

"It's at Number 13 Parks Ave.," said Dumbledore. He handed them some Floo Powder. James went first. He waited for the others before searching. They didn't know what Abbey was capable of if she knew how to perform an Unforgivable. Then, he heard Lily's screams below.

"Come on!" said James. "She's in the basement!"

They ran down one of the halls. At the very end of the hall, a door was opened, and the screaming came from down there. James ran down the stairs. The door into the basement was open. James muttered the counter-curse and Sirius stunned Abbey. James ran to Lily. She wasn't moving.

"Lily," tears started to fall down his face.

"James," smiled Lily. She touched his cheek with her hand.

"Oh Lily," James hugged her. She hugged him back. "I love you."

"I love you too James," said Lily.

"Nothing like this will happen again. I promise you," said James. He kissed her forehead.

"Come on," said Lily. "Let's go back to Hogwarts." By that time, Aurors came and took Abbey straight to the Dementors for them to perform the kiss. "Can I have her wand?" Lily asked before they left. They handed it to her. Lily snapped it in half and threw it into the fire before they went back to Hogwarts.

When Lily got into Dumbledore's office, the healer went straight into helping her in whatever she needed. Seven plates of that day's lunch was waiting for them all. Lily helped herself. She told Dumbledore everything that had happened while they ate.

Lily kept on waking up in the middle of the night. The last time she woke up, she had tried to stun her bed curtains. She looked over at her friends; they were still sleeping. She carefully snuck out of the girls' dorm and into the boys' dorm.

"James," whispered Lily. She shook him slightly.

James opened his eyes. "What's the matter Lily?"

"I can't sleep. I tried to stun my bed curtains?" said Lily. She felt really stupid at the moment...

James smiled. "Get in." He moved over. She got in. He hugged her waist from behind. "What's the matter?" He whispered in her ear.

"I'm afraid. Afraid something might happen again," said Lily. She rolled over to face him. "I was afraid I wasn't going to see you again." Tears started to slowly stream down her face. She cried into his chest. He hugged her tighter.

"It's ok Lily," said James. "Everything is fine. I won't let it happen again." Soon Lily and James fell asleep.

"James! Lily's-" Alex yelled the next morning. "-is with you..."

"Lily Jane Evans!" yelled Alice. Everyone woke up. At the same time, Sirius yelled, "James Michael Potter!"

"What? What happened: asked Lily. She looked around and both her and James blushed. They both knew what everyone was thinking.

"What are you doing in his bed?" asked Alex, giggling.

"Oh my God! It's nothing like that!" said Lily.

A/N: Well, here's chapter 12...whew... that took a long time to write then type up. I hope you all like it! It's so cool! i think i might be my longest chapter! Ok, to let the confusion fly away... Miss Rays is Alex and Miss Turner is Alice!
