PART: TWO

CH.1

New Beginnings, Old Memories

James walked into his white walled office. Just having been promoted he hadn't had any time to warm it up with knick knacks or anything, so all he had were a few filing cabinets, a desk, a sleek office chair and two comfortable visitors chairs across from his desk. Laughing slightly at how pathetically small his office was, James sat down in his soft office chair and turned on the WWN. Whitney Houston's Thinking of You came on. It reminded him slightly of Hogwarts. He had graduated three years ago and was turning twenty next week. A flash of silky auburn hair and sparkling emerald eyes swam through his thoughts of old.

"Lily," he breathed, "I loved you then, and still love you now." His thoughts lingered on the night after their graduation. Against all odd Lily had been the one the grab his arm and pull him toward that bed of roses. Their last night at Hogwarts had been magical, like nothing he ever could have imagined. They had parted on different paths and sour notes. James had no idea where his red headed love was since the evening after their magic night. He had constantly pestered Charly and Lily's othe friends, even his own from time to time, but to no avail.

"Knock, knock!" came a deep voiced, black haired man from the doorway. James looked up and smiled. Traces of his memories lingered in his eyes however.

"Hey Sirius!"

"You dreamin' about the one that got away? Ol' Emerald Eyes?" Sirius asked at the downtrodden look on his best mates face, a nod from James and a sigh from Sirius.

"Let her go, mate. You don't even now where she is." Sirius said in a slightly defeated tone. They had had this conversation many times before. Sirius was still going out with Charly, but she refused to say anything about Lily or her whereabouts. Just then Marcus Johnson, their boss, came in slightly out of breath.

"Boys! Death Eaters! Near Saint Mungos!" Johnson gasped and apparated out of sight, Sirius and James glanced at each other and quickly followed suite, apparating right outside Saint Mungos.

(two hours later)

"Davies! Jacobs, grab Dav…" James was cut off by a curse sent by one of the Death Eaters. Dodging it smartly he threw another Death Eater roughly into a wall.

"Go now!" Sirius yelled from behind James, and watched as Jacobs ran into Saint Mungos with his partner, Davies limp and bloody body in his arms. He flung a curse at the black hooded figure that had tried to attack James and smiled in satisfaction as the figure screamed in agony.

James flung another curse over his shoulder, hitting another Death Eater. James paused for a moment, remembering the Halloween Ball when Lily and him had been flinging curses at Death Eaters, exactly like Sirius and him were doing now. That had been the scariest day of his life, Seeing Lily's body twisting and arching. Hearing her screams of pain and agony but being able to do nothing about it.

"Merlin! Montan get to the hospital now!" James shouted as he caught sight of one if his bloody and battered teammates.

They had already lost three of their own and sixteen were wounded. That only left eleven fighting against twenty-seven, not a fair fight.

A hex went flying, hitting and old, rundown inn. There was a rumbling sound and James looked up for a spilt second to see a few chunks of rumble falling from high above, smashing into the center of Death Eaters. Moans were heard and popping sounds as some wounded apparated away.

Fifteen Death Eaters now stood facing the remaining eleven of James' team. From somewhere on the right side of the crowd of Death Eaters a curse was thrown at Sirius. As if in slow motion James hurled his muscular body, blocking Sirius. The orange light hit him square in the chest. As James hit the ground with a resounding crack the Death Eaters apparated.

"Buncha lowsy wimps." Someone muttered from behind Sirius. He chuckled at this comment, and then was down on his knees gently shaking James.

"Hey! James, no time for foolin' around mate! Get up!" Sirius yelled in his friends' ear. James simply groaned and went silent. Sirius' breath hitched and he quickly scooped up James, with bit of difficulty. Looking around, Sirius found death and blood haunting the street. Bodies lay motion;ess in twisted heaps and some dying moaned as they tried to breathe their last rattling breath.

"You all get checked up at the hospital, then go home to your families and rest. You have the day off tomorrow. Oh, and be grateful you're alive today to see your families another day." Sirius yelled to the remaining team, as everyone departed, Sirius apparated himself and the barely conscious James to Saint Mungos.
