Chapter 3
"I'm afraid there's been a mistake..."
"I know it was you, Potter," spat Lucius Malfoy.
"Oh really, Lucius?" asked James sweetly. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. I was actually working, especially for Professor Dumbledore."
He turned around and happily walked down the halls to the dormitory.
Lucius Malfoy looked after him and smiled cruelly. He had completely trashed the Trophy Room, and had waited for the Head Boy to come around during his nightly walks. He had patiently waited while James looked in bewilderement at the mess, then had come striding in accusing him of trashing the place.
And James had given him the exact information he was looking for, without him even asking for it.
Malfoy couldn't help but smile smugly.
He walked towards the Owelry, the sound of his shoes hitting the floor echoing through the dark halls. He grabbed the door knob and twisted it violently, entering the owelry. He carefully took out a piece of parchment and smoothed it out on the table. He pulled out his quill and dipped it in a bottle of ink left on the table, and he began to write.
"Lord,
I think I have found something that could be of interest to you. James Potter is working for Dumbledore at night...
Your humble servant,
Lucius Malfoy."
He laughed coldly and attached the parchment to a black-feathered bird's legs.
Finally, he could make James Potter pay.
"Lily," whispered James urgently.
She turned over, then finally identifying the voice that was disturbing her beuaty sleep, jumped up in her bed preparing to scream. His hand clamped down on her mouth.
"Lily, there's trouble."
"WHAT?" she whispered.
"Get dressed quick, I'll wait for you outside."
"What is going on?" thought Lily as she slipped on a pair of sweat pants and a white tee-shirt..
She carefully crept outside her dorm to find a very obviously worried James.
"Now will you tell me what's going on?" she whispered.
"Get to the room."
"James! Tell me what-" said Lily as she was violently pushed through the door.
She walked in, finding the room trashed with parchemnts, over the tables and floors.
"Voldemort's going to strike. Tonight!" said James urgently.
Lily sucked her breath in quickly, her head spinning. "I wasn't really expecting that..." she said quietly.
Lily gasped.
"What?" asked James, alarmed.
"No, no, I've got to be wrong!" exclaimed Lily.
"WHAT?" James repeated urgently.
"H-Hogwarts. Tonight!"
"Yeah right," laughed James. But as he checked the different maps she had been looking at, his smile vanished. "Oh, crap!" he muttered.
He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran through the halls, wands held tight.
But as they neared Dumbledore's office, two cold hands touched their shoulders. And when they slowly turned around, they couldn't help but scream.
