Lily and Dylan were currently sitting in the most beautiful restaurant Lily had ever seen. There were many small circular tables scattered over the floor, and on each table there was a small bouquet of flowers and a lit red candle. The waiters were dressed in tuxedoes and spoke with Italian accents.
"Good evening," their waiter greeted. "I am Alfonzo and I shall be your waiter this evening. Are you ready to order?"
"Any idea on what you're getting?" Lily asked Dylan.
"I was thinking chicken parmesan," Dylan replied without looking up at his menu.
"Good choice. "I'll have the same," Lily said.
"Two chicken parmesans it is," the waiter said after scribbling down their order. He then bought them a bottle of wine and two crystal glasses.
"This place is beautiful," Lily said.
"And the food is great," Dylan added.
"This must be costing you a fortune," Lily said.
"Not really," Dylan replied. "My boss just gave me a bonus."
"He should give you bonus's more often," Lily said taking a sip of her wine.
"So, what have you been up to?" Dylan asked.
Lily, remembering Dylan was a muggle, had to think over what she was going to say; making sure it didn't have any wizardness in it. "I'm getting ready to take my final exams," she answered.
"I'm so glad I'm done with school," Dylan said.
"I'm actually sad about leaving," Lily said truthfully. Hogwarts had been her home away from home for seven years. Life without it just seemed empty.
After eating their chicken parmesan, dessert, and a couple more glasses of wine, the two left the restaurant.
"So where to next?" Lily asked as they got into the car.
"There's someone I really want you to meet," Dylan said simply.
"Who's this someone you speak of?" Lily asked.
"You'll see," Dylan answered with a smile.
He then placed a quick kiss of Lily's lips, which caused her to giggle a little. The wine was slowly starting to get to her.
Driving only about two miles, Dylan pulled off the main road and onto a narrow side road that came to an end only after a few yards. Dylan parked the car in an abandoned pasture that had a lake nearby. The setting was quite romantic.
"I thought there was someone you wanted me to meet," Lily said confused.
"First I thought we could do a little catching up," Dylan said with a glint in his eyes.
He leaned closer to her. Dylan's lips were hovering just above hers. Lily could feel his warm breath, and after looking into his eyes she was a little taken aback. There was so much lust she could hardly bare the tension anymore. He put his lips forcefully on hers, and Lily began kissing him back while running a hand through his hair.
After a few minutes, Dylan pulled away from Lily's lips and began lightly sucking her neck.
He is too good at this, Lily thought.
Dylan brought his lips back up to hers, catching Lily off guard. She quickly recovered though, and parted her mouth a little, allowing him entrance. As Dylan's fingers slowly began to remove Lily's shirt a thought ran through her head that this wasn't right. Lily wasn't one who ignored her instincts, but the wine was clouding her judgment a little. Only when her shirt was fully off did reality slam down upon her. This was not how Lily Evans acted.
"Uhh, Dylan?" Lily asked uncertainly.
"Hmm?" Dylan mumbled as he continued to kiss her neck.
"I think we should stop," Lily said.
Dylan pulled away and looked up at her. His eyes were still full of lust and another emotion Lily couldn't quite recognize.
"Fine," he said. He got back into the drivers seat and straightened out his shirt. They sat in silence for a few minutes until Lily let out a cough; her lame attempt to start a conversation.
"I'm sorry," Dylan apologized. "I guess I just got a little carried away."
"Oh, no it's fine," Lily said.
More silence.
"Wasn't there someone you wanted me to meet?" Lily asked.
"Oh yeah," Dylan remembered.
He started the car and pulled back onto the main highway. They drove in silence for about twenty minutes. Lily didn't recognize where they were anymore, and they had a while back pulled off the highway. The road had vast amounts of trees on either side, making it look as if this was straight out of a horror movie. It was now around eleven o'clock, and Lily had told Emma that she'd be back by midnight.
"How much longer?" Lily asked.
"Not long," Dylan answered.
Ten minutes later they had arrived. As they got out of the car, Lily had the sudden urge to run back in it. Stop worrying so much, she thought. Dylan wouldn't do anything to hurt me, would he?
They began walking down a dark path that led them into the woods. Lily could just make out a small house in the distance. Her mind was practically screaming at her to turn back, but she continued walking.par par On the front porch of the small wooden house Dylan stopped her.
"I can't wait for you to meet him," he said.
He had that same look in his eyes earlier that Lily couldn't recognize.par par Lily gave Dylan a weak smile. He then opened the door and she stepped inside. She heard Dylan enter behind her and lock the door. There was an armchair facing the fireplace, and a voice came from behind it.
"Good work," hissed a voice.
The man stood up from his chair and turned around.par par Lily let out a small gasp and her eyes got wide. She was faced with non other than the man the Ministry was trying so hard to find, the man that had killed so many innocent people, the man that wizard families feared; Lord Voldemort.
"Don't be scared Lily," he hissed. "I promise to make this quick and painless; if you cooperate."

Emma was sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine. It was now 12:05. Lily was never late, so Emma was now really worried. Mr. and Mrs. Evans wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning so she didn't have any clue what to do.
"Of course!" Emma exclaimed out loud to no one inparticular. "James!"
She quickly found some parchment and began scribbling away. "Take this to James," Emma instructed Lily's owl. "and hurry."
As if the owl knew the letter was urgent, it quickly took off.
"I hope she's ok," Emma said, taking a seat back on the couch.

"What do you want from me?" Lily asked nervously.
"My dear girl, it's not what I want from you, but what you can do for me," Voldemort answered.
Lily gulped. This was going to be one interesting yet scary experience.
"You see," Voldemort began, "you and a certain friend of yours seem to hold the key to me coming to complete power. Being the kind soul I am, I've decided that if you join me I won't kill you."
Gee thanks, Lily thought.
"Why do you want me to join you?" Lily asked. "I'm not even powerful."
"Oh, but you are," Voldemort replied. "Take her to her room," he instructed to Dylan.
Dylan grabbed Lily's arm forcefully and led her down a dark hallway. They came to a wooden door and Dylan opened it. He then gave her a shove and Lily found herself inside the room.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Lily asked. "I thought..."
"Thought I liked you?" Dylan finished for her. "Yea, well it was just part of the job. You're the sixteenth girl I've lured here so far." Dylan grinned a little as if he should be proud of his accomplishment.
"Well," he continued as he pulled a key out of his pocket, "have a nice night."
Lily saw him shut the door and wanted so badly to scream. This wasn't how she was supposed to spend her Easter break; locked up in a room and being held hostage by the wizarding world's most wanted. Without a wand and no windows, Lily was certainly trapped.
Lily made her way to the corner which contained a bed. It was full of straw, which caused her to itch like crazy. Soon after closing her eyes, Lily fell into a restless sleep.
A/N- Dun, dun, dun! So what do ya think? Love it? Hate it? Wanna kill me for ending the chapter right here? Only one way to let me know! Review please!
