Laura apparated back to her flat, looking a lot more tanned then when he had left, and defiantly more tired.

She dropped her bags in the hall and went into the living room, flopping down on the sofa.

"Hello?" She called out to see if anyone was in.

There was no answer, she looked around the room, something was different.

She got up and flicked the light switch on, she then noticed that there was furniture missing.

"We've been burgled!" She gasped, but then she thought, who would come into a flat and only take a few select pieces of furniture.

She ventured into the kitchen and found the cupboards half empty.

"What in the name of Merlin is going on?" She asked, noticing that only her possessions were left in the flat.

She went down the hallway into the bedrooms and found that hers was the only one that contained anything.

Where is everybody?" She asked herself, she looked at her watch, it was past midnight. If anyone was going to be here they would be here now.

Despite of her tiredness, and body telling her to go to bed, she apparated to Lily's house.

She arrived in the pitch black house, and accidentally knocked over a hat stand in the hall.

"What the…. Who's there?" Came James' bleary voice from up the stairs.

The faint glow of a candle came from the landing and James and Lily appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Who are you and what do you want?" James asked, his wand out.

"Laura?" Lily asked squinting down stairs, she took the candle and ventured down the stairs.

"Don't she could be dangerous." James said.

"Shut Up James." Lily said hitting him lightly as she went past him. "Laura what are you doing here?" Lily asked and she placed the candle down and hugged her friend.

"I just got back, and I noticed that the flat is virtually empty." Laura said.

"Oh yeah." Lily said biting her lip, "everyone else moved out."

"What?" Laura asked, "and no one told be!"

"I know that looks bad, come through to the kitchen and I'll make you a drink." Lily said.

"I'm going back to bed." James said and he kissed Lily on the cheek, "don't be too long." He whispered in her ear.

Lily and Laura went into the kitchen and Lily started making two cups of tea.

"So how come Jess and Emma both left?" Laura asked.

"Well, Emma moved out because she wanted to live with Sirius, and make a home for the twins, and Jess moved out because well her and Remus were both living in empty flats and it made sense to move in together." Lily explained.

"Jess and Remus?" Laura asked.

"You should probably ask them, but they're together now." Lily said.

"What?" Laura asked. "when did this happen?"

"While you were away." Lily asked, "Remus went to the apparation office to stop Jess from leaving, that's why she didn't turn up in Paris. Didn't you wonder why you she wasn't there when you got there?"

"She sent an owl saying that she was sorry about it, but didn't say anything about Remus." Laura said.

"Are you alright with this?" Lily asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Laura asked and she looked puzzled.

The kettle started to whistle and Lily went over to it.

While Lily's back was turned Laura's eyes shot wide open, "Lily, Lily, help me!" She said desperately and she got up looking disorientated, but Lily didn't hear over the whistle of the kettle, and when she turned around with two cups Laura was gone.

"Laura?" She asked putting the mugs down and looking into the living room. "Well, how rude." She said and she made the mugs vanish with her wand before going back up to bed.

It was six in the morning and Emma and Sirius were both up with the twins, Sirius changing Reece's nappy, and Emma feeding Sinead. They had been woken three times during the night, and although they were tired and irritable the babies were too cute to be annoyed with.

Sinead and Reece both had Emma's eyes, and what looked like Sirius's hair, although there wasn't much of it at the moment.

"Have you chosen Godmothers yet?" Sirius asked as he cradled Reece in his arms, he was finding it rather difficult as his hand still hurt from Emma squeezing it.

"Yep, Jess and Lily." Emma said.

"What about Laura?" Sirius asked.

"If she couldn't be bothered to be here for their birth, why should I let her be a Godmother?"

"Fair enough." Sirius said. And he lay Reece down a play mat on the floor.

"What would we do if one of them turned out not to be a wizard?" Emma asked.

"That's impossible." Sirius said.

"I know but what would we do?"

Sirius thought, "take it back and demand a refund?"

Emma put Sinead down next to Reece and threw a bad with a used nappy into at Sirius.

"Urgh!" Sirius said he ran over to Emma and pinned her to the ground.

"What are you going to do now?" Emma asked.

Sirius pretended to think for a moment before he started tickling her.

Laura was fast asleep in her bed when she bolted upright, she looked around her, how did she get here? She wondered to herself.

He jumped out of bed, ran over to her desk in he corner of her room and fumbled around trying to find a piece for parchment and a quill.

She pulled a battered quill out of the draw and nearly knocked he bottle of ink over dipping it inside. She quickly scribbled a message down, but before she had finished she stopped snapped the quill and threw made the parchment blow up into flames.

She shook her head before getting back into bed.

Light was only just starting to appear through the crack in Peters curtains as he slipped into his black Death Eater robes. His hands were shaking in fear, today Voldemort and his Death eaters were breaking in to Azkaban.

He felt sick to the stomach, he had no desire to go to Azkaban, and he knew full well that if he were caught then he would be seeing a lot more of the place then he would like.

There was also the problem that if he was caught all his friends and Dumbledore would know he was a Death Eater.

He went over to his mirror, he had hardly slept all night. His face was pale and he had bags under his eyes, she went into the bathroom and splashed his face with cold water to wake himself up.

Then he took a deep breath and apparated to the place that he had been instructed to.

Lily, James and Sirius apparated to the dreaded wizard prison Azkaban, news of a breakout had reached their ears, and all members of the order, and all Aurors, qualified or not, had to be there.

They arrived on a grey over cast island surrounded by a wild sea, in front of them stood the prison. In front and inside were furious duels going on between prisoners, Death eaters, Aurors and order members.

Lily clasped James' hand and squeezed it tight.

"I love you," she whispered into his ear, James smiled weakly, even he was scared.

They went forward into the duels and were soon caught up in them. Lily was thrown into a duel after an Auror was struck down bleeding from her ears.

Dumbledore could be seen on the roof of the prison fighting off five Death eaters. He Didn't seemed in the least bit worried that he was outnumbered five to one. He knocked all the death Eaters off the roof with one wave of his wand, and he made his way down to the ground floor.

No cell had anyone in, they were all empty and they dementors had left their posts and were taking advantage of all the raw emotion.

Jess duelled with a prisoner, it wasn't hard as the man could barley lift the wand he had picked up off the floor, but he still put up a good fight.

She was shot on the arm by a stinging hex.

"You stupid-" she said to the man, and she threw a spell at him which threw him back and knocked over a Death eater behind him.

She made her way through the crowd of people dodging curses. She found Lily battling with a Death eater. She came up behind him and hit him with a stunning spell and he fell to the ground.

"Hey Jess." Lily said.

Jess smiled weakly, and she threw spells at advancing Death Eaters.

"Have you seen Laura?" Jess asked.

Lily shook her head while also throwing spells.

"She came round to see me this morning, and she was acting strange," Jess shouted over the noise of duels. "And now she hasn't turned up here."

Lily frowned, "Well there is nothing we can do now." Lily said and she ducked as a spell flew her way. "Got to go." She said as she rolled out of the path of another curse.

Lily finally finished another duel and turned to find her next victim, she turned to find herself face to face with Voldemort.

"Oh Crap." She said to herself as the ghost like man smiled evilly.

She took a few steps back, not taking her eyes off him.

"Say your prayers." He sneered and he threw the killing curse at her, and she was pulled over by two hands to avoid it.

She saw James standing above her, and she got to her feet quickly and stood next to him.

"I remember you now." Voldemort said edging closer to them, "this time you won't be so lucky." These words hadn't left his mouth before James and Lily threw every spell and hex they knew at him.

He blocked them all, laughing at how easy he was finding it.

"Master, master, we must leave, we cannot do anymore here." Came a call from a Death eater close by who was duelling fiercely with Sirius.

Voldemort nodded and sent sparks into the air telling his death eaters to leave.

He faced Lily and James.

"Goodbye." he said to them and he threw the killing curse at them, the spell seemed to fly through the air in slow motion, Lily threw a disarming spell at Voldemort as she jumped to the ground with James. She was amazed to find it hit him, and her was throw for a second.

He looked at them with malice in his eyes before apparating out of the prison grounds, furious that he had not finished them off.

Sirius came over as the Death Eater he was duelling with disapparated, he helped Lily to her feet, then James.

"You two must be the luckiest people alive, you've escaped Voldemort twice now. That's one more then most." He said.

Lily didn't say anything, all around Aurors were tying up the remaining Death Eaters and prisoners.

Dumbledore came over to them, "that was very impressive." He said smiling weakly, "are you hurt?"

They shook their heads, "just a few bumps and bruises."

James said.

Dumbledore nodded, "we must comb the prison looking for injured people along with Death eaters and prisoners."

"How did this happen?" Lily asked the old man, "how did they break in?"

"I'm afraid they had help from the dementors, they have joined the dark side." Dumbledore said gravely.

"Who will guard the prison?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know, but it doesn't seem like there is anyone to guard at the moment." He said and he left to talk to Mad eye. Moody.

Laura sat in her flat slouched in the corner of her bedroom, crying. She was trapped, there was no way out and she knew it.

She rocked back and fourth clasping her arm in front of her, it hurt like nothing she could imagine.

She didn't want to look at it, it made her feel sick. How had this happened, she thought as she sobbed, rocking back and fourth.

She warily rolled down the sleeve of her top to reveal, burned into her skin, the dark mark.
