James opened his eyes as he slowly came to, he felt his body on a cold floor and heard muttering voices all around him. His eyes slowly came into focus and he found himself lying on the cold pavement with a small crowd of people around him.
"Good he's waking up," he hear a woman say, "hello can you hear me?" She asked.
"What's going on?" He asked the woman, she looked about forty with a kind face.
"Don't worry, we think you were attacked, but an ambulance is on the way, just sit tight." The woman said.
The word attacked stirred something in his memory and he suddenly remembered how he got here.
"Lily, where's Lily?" He suddenly asked sitting bolt up right.
"Poor thing must be concussed," the woman muttered to someone next to her, "lie back down and wait for the ambulance."
"No I don't need a bloody ambulance, I don't even know what an ambulance it," James snapped and he stood up and pushed his way through the small crowd. He ran down the street until he was in a deserted side road.
What do I do now, he thought to himself, he didn't know who had taken Lily let alone where they had gone.
Wormtail pulled on his black Death Eater robes, his dark mark was burning and he needed to go to his masters side. He straightened down his robes and apparate away.
He ended up in a dark underground room, the same place where all the Death Eater meetings were held.
"Wormtail, come here." The voice of his master commanded him the moment he toughed the ground.
He did as he was told and when he reached his master he bent down nd kissed the hem of his robes.
"I have someone here who you might recognise," Voldemort said in his usual cold voice.
"How's that my Lord?" Wormtail asked.
"Why don't you go and have a look," He said, "I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised."
Peter went over to a door in the corner of the room which was guarded by a Death Eater, made sure his hood was covering his face and pushed the door open.
Inside he found Lily, bound to a chair with magical ropes, her mouth was moving but no sound was coming out, she seemed to be screaming for help.
He quickly closed the door again before he saw her, "what's she doing here?" he asked.
"This, Wormtail is what we call a test." Voldemort said staring straight at Peter with his cold red eyes.
"T…. t…… test?" Peter stuttered.
"Yes, a test, a test of loyalty." Voldemort said, "I've this particular person here for you."
"Why, I don't want her." Wormtail said.
"I know that you imbecile," Voldemort snapped, "I have kept her here for you to kill. The perfect test to see if you loyal to me, or you friends."
Wormtail gulped, he wanted him to kill Lily, but James would never forgive him.
"Now go back in to that room, and when I join you I would like you to be the only thing still breathing in there." Voldemort said.
"But master, what of the other found out, I would…." Peter began.
"Silence," Voldemort said and he raided his wand at Wormtail, you will do as I say. Is that clear?"
Peter nodded.
"I didn't hear you," Voldemort said and raised his wand and said, "crucio."
Peter fell to the floor in a ball, feeling like her was being stabbed by knives all over.
"Now is that clear?" Voldemort asked again lifting the curse.
"Yes my Lord." Wormtail said weekly and he dragged himself off to the room where Lily was being held captive.
James apparated into the house to find Sirius and Remus playing a game of wizard chess.
"Are you alright Prongs?" Sirius asked as James ran into the room looking dishevelled.
"No," He panted, "we were attacked, and they took Lily."
"What?" Remus asked.
"Death eaters attacked us in the street and they stunned me and took Lily, they said they were going to kill her." James said. "We need to find her."
The boys just stood there looking at each other for a minuet before Sirius spoke.
"Right, Remus you go and tell Dumbledore and the girls what's happened," Remus nodded.
"What are you tow going to do?" He asked.
"We're going to find Lily." Sirius said and Remus nodded and apparated away.
"James go and get you're invisibility cloak," Sirius demanded, he had never been one for taking control, James was always the one who did that, but his best friends was in no fit state to do that right now.
James went off and came back minutes later with his cloak.
"We're apparating to Hogsemead." Sirius said and they both disappeared.
They arrived in the wizarding village.
"What we're going to do is go into the Hogshead and capture a Death eater, get them to take us t Voldemort's headquarters, and bingo we've found Lily." Sirius said.
James nodded, and they set off under their cloak to the grotty pub.
When they entered it, it was quite full, they weaved carefully through the tables of weirdoes and into a corner where they could observe all the people.
"This is where our work for the order comes in handy." Sirius said, they had recently been set the task of blending in with the dark crowd. They had heard some quite interesting things and names which would come in very handy now.
They stood there scanning the room for a few more minuets when the door swung open and Regulus Black walked in.
"Well, well, well look who's skiving off school." Sirius said and he and James made a bee line for the door.
Sirius grabbed hold of his brothers arm and pulled him under the cloak before dragging him out of the pub and into a dense patch of bushes.
"What the hell is going on?" Regulus asked, he looked quite like Sirius except his hair was short and he wasn't as good looking.
"Now brother dear what are you doing out of school at this time?" Sirius asked.
"Sirius, what the hell do you want?" Regulus asked.
"That's no way to talk to your older brother." Sirius said.
"Shut up the pair of you, now lets get to the point." James snapped in a menacing voice. "You will take us to Voldemort's headquarters, right now."
"What, I have no idea what you're talking I'm not a Death eater."
"Come off it," Sirius said, "just do it."
"And what if I say no?" Regulus asked.
"You don't want to know what will happen to you." James said brandishing his wand, "now do it."
He handed Regulus a rock from the ground to make a portkey.
"And don't even think of taking us to the wrong place, otherwise we'll take you straight to Azkaban." Sirius said.
"You can't do that, you have no proof." Regulus said.
"Wanna bat?" He asked.
Regulus reluctantly make a portkey, they all touched it and they were transported in to what looked like an underground series of rooms.
"Can I go now?" Regulus asked.
"Whatever," Sirius said and before Regulus left he said sarcastically "give my love to mum and dad."
Lily sat in a dark damp room, tied to a chair. She was cold and hungry, and the only company she had was a lone Death Eater. It was a man, quite small and chubby, and he had been standing there for about half an hour pacing back a fourth and staring at her.
He still had a silencing charm placed on her and her wand was lying on the floor a few meters away.
She was utterly surprised that she wasn't dead by now, she was beginning to wonder whether she was being used as bait to lure someone else here, or they always kept the people they wanted to kill in a room for a few hours before they committed murder.
She stamped her feet on the floor to get the Death eaters attention, if she could get him to lift the silencing charm she might have a fighting chance.
The Death Eater, Wormtail looked at her, he pondered what to do now. Soon his master would come in to find Lily still alive and he would be killed, but he couldn't do it. But if he killed Lily James would kill him if he found out, and if he didn't Lord Voldemort would kill him, he couldn't win.
Lily felt a tear run down her cheek as she realized that there was little hope of her seeing another day. She probably would never get to marry James, have children, qualify as an Auror, or do anything she had always wanted to do.
It was as another tear ran down her cheek that she heard a commotion outside the door. Maybe there was hope after all.
She watched the door as I swung open and James and Sirius appeared in the door frame.
"Take the Portkey to Dumbledore," James said to Sirius, I'll take care of these."
Sirius apparated out with the Portkey and the cloak while James stood face to face with three Death Eaters.
Wormtail watched the scene unfold before his eyes, he was going to be found out if he stayed here, he thought so he too disapparated.
Lily watched as James defended himself against three Death Eaters, it was terrible, if she could only get out of these ropes she could help him.
Curses were flying everywhere, James had managed to stun one Death eater but he was still out numbered. The order had better get here soon, he knew it was only a matter of time before more Death eaters turned up and maybe even Voldemort himself.
He narrowly missed a spell, he shot a stunning spell at one of the death eaters and managed to conjure a shield before it rebounded and hit him.
They battled furiously, one of them made a slashing movement with his wand and a gash appeared on James' right arm.
"Oh, no you didn't just do that." James said and he threw a rain of curses at them, one of them got hit with the jelly legs curse and the other with a disarming spell. James caught the wand in one had and stunned the Death Eater before he ran away.
He then ran to Lily's side and blasted the rope off her and lifted the silencing charm.
She jumped up and threw her arms around James.
"Thank you, thank you." She said.
James held her tightly not saying anything.
"Come on let get out of here." James said as he kissed Lily's forehead.
"What leaving so soon?" Asked a high cold voice that sent shivers up their spines.
James turned and pushed Lily behind him but she moved to his side, "we fight together." she said.
"How sweet, it's making me sick." Voldemort said as he moved closer to them.
"Don't come any closer," James warned.
"You know I always admired people the don't take a fight lying down, I suppose it's bravery, a stupid quality if you ask me, but then again all you Gryffindors have it, probably why you're all dead." He sneered.
Lily raised her wand and threw a disarming spell at Voldemort, but he deflected it with a shield, James the sent a stunning spell which was also deflected.
"Not bad at all." Voldemort, it's almost a shame you're going to die, you would have made good Death eaters.
"Never," Lily shouted and she threw a rain o spells at him.
"Not you of course, you're a mudblood."
"Never say that to her ever again." James said and he threw a spell.
Voldemort then fired spell after spell at them, they deflected most of them but Lily got hit with a stunning spell and fell to the floor with a nasty thud.
James ran to her side to make sure she was OK.
"You want to die together?" Voldemort asked.
"Not today Tom." Dumbledore said appearing in the door way with many other order members behind him.
Voldemort turned his smug expression dropped at the sight of Dumbledore, he knew there was no way he was going to win this fight so he threw one last rain o spells and curses before disappearing with a wave of his wand.
I'm not very good at writing action scenes, so I hope this isn't too bad. I hadn't planned on putting this in but I just got a bit carried away and decided to add and action bit in coz so far it's been mostly about romance.
