bChapter 7: The Rescue/b

"Potter I have to speak to you, now!" The voice of Lily Evans shouted that morning in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Why Evans?" James answere lazily.

"You will here soon enough, now follow me or it's going to cost Gryffindor five points," she shouted. Other Gryffindors now looked at James with a threatining look.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming already," James said. He followed her outside of the Gryffindor Common Room.

"Now Potter, listen very carefully, I will say this only once," she said strict pushing him against the wall.

"I know about the Marauders, I know about a map on what you can see all the people of Hogwarts and I know you'll be in much trouble if I tell McGonagall about this,"

"So you find out eh, and what do you want me to do to stop you from telling McGonagall," James said eyes wide open in shock.

"Kiss me," Lily said.

" 'scuse me?" James said surprised.

"Kiss me you damn fool, I know you're in love with me, well this is your chance!" she practically shouted. James leaned forward and kissed Lily. He felt light in his head, he had dreamed of this for almost two years.

She drew back.

"Thank you James, and I think we and your friends need to have a little chat soon, how about tonight," she said with a smile.

"Uh yeah of course," James said. Lily turned around and walked away leaving a astonisched James behind. It took a while before he finally realised what just happened. He walked back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Albus Dumbledore walked passed the Gryffindor Common Room and saw James entering it.

"One day James Potter you will realise which road you just have chosen," He said chuckling to himself.

That night The Marauders and Lily had a long chat about The Marauders and the Marauders Map, they told her that they were Animagi and she swore that she wouldn't tell McGonagall or anyone else, they also told about the situation of Remus and why they became animagi. James and Lily where a couple now and Lily couldn't wait to tell here friends.

Six months had passed and the examweek was just finished. Only one more week for school and they had holidays.

That night they had one more Marauders Meeting and they couldn't wait. The evening was short and the night fell, Remus was brought to the Whomping Willow and James sat with Lily in a chair before the fireplace when Sirius came in laughing inside him.

'What's up Padfoot, what's so funny?" James asked.

"Snivellus was curious, he wanted to know where Remus was going every full moon, so I told him,"

"You did what!" James shouted.

"I told how to get in the Whomping Willow," Sirius said laughing.

"You stupid idiot! That could kill him!" James said. He stood up and ran out of the common room, down the stairs and outside he ran towards the Whomping Willow and saw in the distance Snape entering it. He started to run harder and also got through the hole under the Whomping Willow. He ran through the passageway trying not to fall and saw Snape entering the Shrieking Shack.

"Snape! Stop, come back, it's dangerous!" He yelled.

"Dangerous Potter, what can be dangerous," Snape smirked.

"That!" James shouted aiming at the werewolf. James jumped forward and pulled Snape back and ran towards the whole the werewolf following them. Snape got to his feet and ran also but he tripped and fell over. The werewolf jumped forward on Snape. Suddenly a stag jumped up the werewolf and kicked him in the face, this confused the werewolf and Snape got up his feet and ran away, the stag following him. James turned back into human form and jumped together with Snape through the hole.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Snape are you both alright?" The voice of Dumbledore said.
