Chapter Ten: Reawaking

Two years passed, within that time Lily and James became the best of friends and James continued to be at the mercy of Tom. James's mark sat dormant for that time. James had shown Lily the mark the next day and they both had no clue what it was.

Lily had continued to learn from her uncle. She had not learned any magic yet because of the laws and the fact that it could be tracked. Everyday Tom said her first goal was to kill James. Lily, who was now in school,l was becoming less and less naïve about the "joke".

Voldemort decided that Lily would not join in the torturing. Orginally she was to use muggle forms of tortue but now she was just to be the boy's friend. The Dark Mark was on his henchmen's arms just like the boys. His servents name were death eaters because of the dark mark. The snake was like Slytherin which was of course asscoited with death. The eaters came from the skull which looked like it was eating the snake, death.

Though the death eaters had their marks Voldemort had never used it. For the first time on November 3, 1967 the marks once again changed black. Voldemort was calling for the first of many muggle torturing games. But the pain that the mark spread also reached a little boy playing with his best friend.

"Ouch!" James cried. He grasped his arm as though a million fiery needles had travled though it. Lily and him were playing chess when it happen.

"What is wrong, James?" Lily questioned.

"It is that mark, it hurts again," James replied.

"I wonder why," Lily said.

"Well lets just keep playing," James said.

"You are only saying that because you are winning!" Lily protested.

James was much better at chess than Lily. It was a muggle game that Lily had taught to James. Right now Lily was down to one knight, a pawn, and her king. James on the other hand had most of his pieces left.

James had Lily blocked into a corner with his rook and knight keeping it in check. Lily did the only thing she could, move her king up one space. Then James moved his queen.

"Checkmate," James said confindently.

"Dang it, you always win!" Lily stated.

"Yeah aren't I the greatest?" James said in an arrogant tone.

"Don't let it go to your head," Lily said jokeingly.

James wsa about to answer when for the second time a sharp pain inflected his arm. Apparntly someone wasn't coming.

"What is going on?" Lily asked. She was very concered for her friend.

"I don't know," James replied.

R/R and as you can see some of you got your wish. In the next chapter some of you are going to hate me though.
