A/N- Just a little warning: Things are going to start happening very very very very very very very very very very very fast starting now. Enjoy the chapter!!

"Lily! James! You made it!" said Amy as Lily and James entered Sirius' house.

"Of course we made it!" said Lily, hugging her friend.

James nodded to Amy and said hello, hugging people wasn't really his way of greeting people. Amy led them into Sirius' living room where the punch tables and snack tables had been laid out in the room, talking the whole time about how excited she was and how glad she was to have such great friends. "Sorry we couldn't have been here earlier, someone was having some difficulty getting out of bed," said Lily, glaring at James.

James blushed slightly and walked over to the punch table. Something definitely didn't feel right. His stomach was turning when he had woken up that morning and he had a feeling of dread about the day to come. Lily told him it was something he had eaten, but in her eyes he could see that she was worried about him. She never took his bad feelings for granted, but she really wanted to go to the party so she told him just to be on his guard and tell her if it got any worse.

It had gotten worse. His stomach started twisting and turning as it came time for them to leave for the party and he insisted that they should stay home for a while. So that is what they did. They sat at home for an hour until James was feeling slightly better. He hoped the feeling would go away from him soon, he really wanted to eat something without throwing it up in front of everyone.

He found Sirius standing by the punch table conversing quietly with Peter. Sirius looked horrible. His eyes were blood shot looked tired, he was pale and cold. James had never seen his friend like this before. Peter had a look of sorrow on his face as James approached them. "What's the matter Padfoot?" he asked, sounding concerned.

Sirius just stared at James with a blank look on his face. Peter drew in a deep breath. "His brother was killed last night," he whispered.

James stared at Sirius. "That's terrible Padfoot," James breathed.

Sirius shook his head. "That's not the bad part," he said.

James looked confused for a moment before Peter's voice broke the silence again. "He was a supporter of the one behind all of the attacks that have been happening," Peter whispered softly so no one else could hear.

James could only stare at his two friends, matching their same blank expressions. He had never expected this. He knew that Sirius' brother hated him and the rest of the world at that. His mother had always favored his brother over Sirius and thought he was such a good boy for being sorted into Slytherin. James knew his brother wouldn't turn out good.

"That's not all either Prongs," said Sirius, "Continue Wormtail."

"Belltrix Lestrang is also a supporter," sighed Peter.

"She is your cousin right?" asked James.

"I never thought she'd turn on the family. She was in Slytherin and all, but I thought that she would turn out to be normal," Sirius shuddered.

"There are many supporters of Voldemort out there," Peter said casually.

"Who?" asked Sirius and James.

Peter gave himself a mental kick. This was not good. "Come on Peter! Who is Voldemort?" James pressed.

Peter squirmed nervously. "The one behind the attacks," he said.

Boy, was he going to get it now.

"You knew his name?" breathed Sirius.

"I only just found out about it. I was going to bring it up at the next meeting," lied Peter.

Why did he have such a big mouth? His mother told him it would get him into trouble someday.

"Peter, you should have told Dumbledore right away," said Sirius, looking concerned.

Peter nodded. "There has just been so much going on lately," he sighed.

"Well I'll have to agree with you on that one Wormtail," said Sirius.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Amy, let me see it again!" shrieked Gloria as Amy flashed her engagement ring under her nose.

"It is so pretty," sighed Teresa.

Amy grinned. "Remus has impeccable taste," she said.

Lily laughed. "So have you decided on dresses yet?" asked Lily.

"Yes, didn't you get the magazine tear-out I sent you by owl?" asked Amy.

Lily shook her head. "I got mine," said Gloria.

Amy shrugged and pulled open her purse. "This is what you will be wearing," she said as she pointed to a burgundy slim fitting dress.

Lily gasped. "It's beautiful!"

Amy smiled. "I know!"

"It's nothing compared to Amy's dress," smiled Teresa.

Amy pulled out another magazine scrap and showed it to Lily. Lily gasped again. "Why didn't they have one like this when I got married?" she asked.

"Because it was meant for me!" Amy teased.

Lily hit her lightly. "Maybe it made a mistake for waiting," she laughed.

"Oh, but Lily, your dress was pretty too," sighed Gloria.

Lily sighed. "Yeah, it was."

Everyone laughed. "Not talking about me are you?" asked James.

"Of course not sweetie," said Lily. "How are you feeling?"

"I was just about to talk to you about that. 'Scuse me ladies, I am going to kidnap your ringleader for a moment," laughed James as he pulled on Lily's arm.

"What's up James? You look troubled," said Lily as James closed the door to the bathroom as it was the closet room and it guaranteed them some privacy.

"Sirius' brother died last night," he said.

Lily gasped. "Oh no!" she said.

"He was a supporter of Voldemort, the one who has been attacking everyone," James said.

"That's terrible! But I must say, he wasn't exactly the last person you'd expect to be in on that kind of thing," she admitted softly.

James nodded. "Do you remember his cousin Belltrix?" he asked, even quieter.

Lily nodded. "I always liked her," she said. "She was always nice to me back at school."

"Think again. She is a really big supporter of Voldemort," breathed James.

Lily just stood there. "Since when?"

"I have no idea," sighed James.

"Now I'm scared, James. What if it was one of them that took Rose or killed your parents?" she cried.

"That thought never crossed my mind. I'll have to bring it up to Dumbledore," said James softly.

"Who told you this?" she asked.

"Peter."

"It is good to know that he is doing a good job," said Lily. "I feel safe knowing that we have a good friend by our side trying to find information to help us out."

James held in his thoughts. He didn't want to make Lily nervous. He noticed how casually Peter talked about Belltrix and Sirius' brother supporting Voldemort and how it seemed like he just let the name 'Voldemort' roll off his tongue. The pit in his stomach grew deeper. "Come on, we should be getting back to the party," said James.

Lily nodded and they walked out of the bathroom. "You were in there long enough," smirked Sirius.

"Don't even," warned Lily.

Sirius back off and went into the bathroom.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Lily, have you seen Amy anywhere?" asked a voice in Lily's ear.

She whirled around, heart racing. "Oh Remus, you scared me!" she gasped, putting her hand to her heart.

"Sorry," he muttered. "Have you seen Amy?" he asked again.

Lily shook her head. "Haven't lost her already have you?" she asked.

Remus gave her a worried smile. "I think Sirius told her something that slightly upset her," he said.

Lily frowned. "About Belltrix?"

"I think so. They were close at school you know," he whispered.

Lily thought for a moment and realized that there was only one place that her friend could possibly be. "Remus, I'll get her, I have a good hunch at where she is," Lily sighed.

Remus nodded. "Thank you," he said. "Tell her I've been looking for her. I am all worried about her suddenly."

Lily nodded. "I am worried for everyone now a day," she sighed.

"No, I woke up with a bad feeling," whispered Remus.

Lily stood frozen for a moment. "So did James," she breathed.

"We have to find her," said Remus.

Lily nodded. "Lily, hurry, I don't feel well at all," sighed Remus. "I haven't gotten a chance to tell her I love her this morning I was so busy."

Lily nodded again and practically ran out of the door.

!!!!!!!!!!

Lily breathed in the fresh air around her as she walked out of Sirius' house in search of Amy. It was a friendly neighborhood with a lot of flowers and children's toys. There was a park on the corner of the street that reminded Lily of the park she had always visited as a child. It had a few slides, varying in size and shape along with a few swings and a very tiny sandbox. She had to give Sirius some credit, he did pick a very good neighborhood to live in.

There was a figure sitting on one of the swings at the park, leaning back to look at the sky. Lily recognized this figure to be Amy by the way her hair hung from the back of her head. It was straight brown and brushed the ground lightly. Her feet were out straight in front of her and Lily noticed that she didn't have any shoes on. She laughed. Amy had always hated shoes for as long as she could remember.

Lily stopped walking for a moment just to watch her friend. Amy was so relaxed and happy. Her wedding day was only a few months away. It was all she ever talked about. And now, at her wedding party she was slightly nervous about the fact that she was getting married. Lily closed her eyes, remembering how she felt the night before her own wedding and how nervous James had been.

When she opened her eyes Lily saw a figure standing behind Amy wearing a black cloak that swayed in the wind. The figure was tall and Lily could tell that it was female as her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, through the opening of her hood.

The figure advanced on Amy and drew out its wand. Lily's mind froze. She tried to call out to her friend, but her voice caught in her throat. She tried to make her hands move to retrieve her wand from her pocket, but they hung heavily at her sides. She tried to break out into a run, but her feet were stuck to the ground.

She watched in horror as a flash of green light erupted from the figure's wand. Lily closed her eyes shut. When she dared open them again she say Amy's limp figure hanging from the swing. Lily's voice came back into her throat in the middle of her silent scream and the figure noticed her for the first time.

The figure stared at Lily and pointed her wand at her. A flash of blue light came out of the wand and Lily could distantly hear the figure swear before it apparated. Lily gasped as all went black and she fell to the ground unconscious.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Lils?" James gasped as he saw her green eyes open.

"James? Is that you?" Lily asked, turning her face away from him.

"Yes, it's me," James sighed, feeling relieved.

"Where are you?" Lily asked, reaching her arm out the opposite direction of where James was sitting.

"Right here," James said as his hear fell slightly, grabbing her hand.

"Why can't I see you?" panicked Lily as her head turned towards him.

James sighed and buried his head into his free hand. "They said that his might happen."

"What, what might happen?" called Lily.

James drew in a deep breath. "There was a curse aimed at you and it hit your face."

"And?" said Lily, already knowing what he was going to tell her.

James felt his heart grow heavy and a tear roll down his face. "You're blind."

A/N- Raise you hand if you suspected that.............I decided to post one more time before I left on vacation but I swear this is the last time before I get back next Wednesday. I origanally had another 4 or 5 pages on this chapter, but I decided that this would make a perfect cliffie.....hehehehe authors are evil sometimes. As I said earlier things are going to start moving really really fast. I am hoping that I can post the last chapter this Halloween in honor of Lily and James. It would give it a nice effect to read it the day that they actually died...well in the books at least. Well leave me a review and don't forget about the hidden meanings contest!!
