Chapter 19- Everyone's in trouble

James continued to wipe the blood from his lip as he tried to slow down his breathing. Having just barely

Making it past the Whomping Willow, he was ready to sit down. With his lip stinging, he groaned at the

Bruise he was bound to have under his right eye. That tree branch really knocked him, if it wasn't for his

Determined need to push through he was sure that blasted tree would have been the death of him. Slowly

Following the trail that became so natural he was coming up on the door of the shrieking shack.

Opening the door he gasped in surprise, it sure wasn't what he expected, the furniture that was there less

Than a month ago was replaced with cobwebs. James stared around the room kind of confused, Remus

Taught at Hogwarts now, surely he would still be using this place. An office was no place for a werewolf

to transform. He didn't have time to think about it, he needed to move quickly. The door leading to

Hogsmeade was just at the end of the hallway. It was his only hope; maybe just maybe there was a clue.

Growling Ron tossed his fork aside, James still hadn't showed. It had been nearly a half hour since he left

Luna at the hospital wing. He said he would meet him at dinner, he was bloody certain he did. Ron gulped

Down the last of his chicken and tossed his napkin. All night he had to listen to James nag about wasting

Time and here he was lollygagging around. Ron sat out for the common room prepared to give a piece

of his mind, Sheesh they didn't even have a plan yet. Who actually confronts an evil wizard without

a plan "Only a Potter" he mumbled under his breath.

As he reached the door he didn't even bother to knock "Where were you?" he yelled as he entered.

He looked around the room, completely empty. His eyes fell to his bed as the note taunted him,

frozen stiff he watched the note flap softly and his heart leaped to his throat. He knew without even

looking, James went without him. He thought he was going to be sick, forcing his feet to finally move,

he crept to the bed and reached for the note. As he read the note anger turned to fear, He had to get to

Dumbledore right away. He wanted a head start; Ron couldn't believe this guy. He only hoped it wasn't

To late and they could reach him in time.

Ron tore down the hall as if Voldemort himself was chasing him. Rearing the corner he plowed straight into

A group of students departing the dinning hall. Gaining his balance before he fell with them and continued

To run "Mr. Weasley, slow yourself down" shouted Professor McGonagall. "Can't Professor, emergency

Please meet me at Dumbledore's office. It was something in his voice that caused her to run after him.

Ron stood in front of the gargoyle statue screaming every password he could think of, it was no use; it

wouldn't budge. Professor McGonagall rushed to his side "What" "is" "the" meaning" "of" "this"

She panted trying to catch her breath. Ron bended over, resting his hands on his knees, trying to slow

his breath to answer, "I need to speak with Dumbledore. It's urgent" he said "Password, Password" he

yelled causing her to jump back in surprise. Students didn't tend to yell at her. "Sherbet Lemon" she spoke

tightly. Before the stairway was fully exposed Ron bolted heading straight for the Headmaster.

Bursting into the office Ron found Dumbledore and Remus along with his Parents sitting by the fireplace,

"Professor I must speak with you at once" he yelled "Forgive me Albus, I tried to stop him" McGonagall

said walking through the door, eyeing Ron disapprovingly. "Sir something has happened" he growled,

slamming down a book to get some notice "Ronald Weasley" Molly screamed, upset and embarrassed

by her son's outburst, "Molly, it's quite alright, let the him speak" If he was worried then he didn't show it.

Motioning his hand towards Ron he nodded. "Sir, he's gone," Ron said

The twinkle in his eye seemed to wither out, his eyes searched Ron as if trying to find something.

"No, he couldn't, wouldn't" stammered Remus as the color seemed to drain from his face. "Oh Albus, what

if he gets killed," Molly cried out weeping into her husbands chest. "I'm afraid our meeting must wait"

sighing he turned to Ron "You two were going to leave tonight together weren't you" he asked even though

Ron was sure he already knew" Nodding in shame Ron looked to the floor "Ronald, you should be ashamed,

It wasn't enough you two could've got yourselves killed, but you have place Harry in grave danger"

Ron hung his head lower for this time it was his father's voice full of disappointment. Dumbledore placed

His hand on Ron's shoulder and smiled "It took great courage for you to admit your mistake, and thanks to

you we can find him before Harry is lost to us forever" "Remus, you and Arthur come with me, Molly,

Minerva, alert as many from the order as you can. I want every person searching for James and Lily"

Everyone jumped up to the seriousness of his tone. The women vanished at once to alert the order.

"Ron, any idea where James may have gone?" Arthur asked Ron just shook his head. "He could be almost

Anywhere" Sighed Remus. Raising his head Ron gasped, "Hogsmeade" he blurted out "Excuse me son"

Mr. Weasley replied, "Check Hogsmeade, He would have gone to look for clues, Harry would have at least;

I just figured with Harry being like his Dad and stuff maybe" he trailed off. "I believe your right, brilliant

Mister Weasley" beamed Dumbledore.

"Let us be off quickly," he said, Ron moved to grab the port key "What do you think your doing?" Arthur

asked, "I'm going with you all Dad" Ron eyed his father daring him to object "Harry and Hermione are my

best friends, don't try and stop me," he said giving them a warning look. "You tried to stop James, and look

were it got you!" he bellowed at Dumbledore, folding his arms tightly across his chest, looking from each

one "I'll go with or without your approval" the tone in his voice made it appearate there was no room for

argument "Very well mister Weasley, you've made your point" Dumbledore said as he steadied the port

key. With a thankful look Ron made his way over to the men. The four touched the port key and vanished.

Her head was pounding, as her eyes struggled to open. Slowly she crawled across the floor trying to sit up.

a million thoughts seemed to fill her head causing it to pound harder. Lily moaned softly as she gently

rubbed her head, feeling a cool sticky substance she jerked her hand away to reveal blood. Lily began to

panic, she was bleeding and scared. Where was James? He should have been here by now, wherever here

was. Moving slowly she stood up, and walked to the door of bars that held her captive. Pulling on the bars

she screamed "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Lily began to kick at the bars, doing anything she could to

break them. "Please let me go," she pleaded. Nobody came to her rescue; no one even answered her as

she screamed for her release. Lily reached for her wand, finding an empty pocket frantically she searched,

her robes then remembered her failed attempt to bring down her capture.

To weak to stand anymore, Lily let her self-fall to the floor, scraping her back on the bars as she slid down,

Lily pulled her legs up and sobbed. She was all alone, with no wand and she was going to die. She wasn't

Supposed to die, wasn't she going to marry that prat James Potter? Yes James, what she would give to

to see his face again. The past week had been something else for them. They had begun to finally know

the real sides to each other. How she wish she could have more time with him. Her heart ached for the

lost chance, if only she was in front of him she would tell him she loved him, but she wasn't. Lily

Gasped as though the words were daggers in her mind. The shock of the declaration was the last straw

She just realized she was in love with James Potter and knew it would haunt her forever.

James pulled the cloak over his head as he grabbed for the doorknob, Hogsmeade was just beyond the door

And with it laid the whereabouts of Lily. If anyone had told him he would be searching for Lily Evans he

Would have laughed his arse off, but she was no longer an enemy and he sure didn't feel like laughing now.

James opened the door and quickly glanced from left to right, he figured he would start at the bookstore

Lily and Luna went to first. There had to be something there, just had too. The cloak hid the determined

Glint in his eyes as he carefully made his way across the streets of Hogsmeade.

Lily stiffened as the sound of the door opening echoed down the hall. Someone was coming, she could

Hear the footsteps as they clicked on the floor. Closing her eyes she silently prayed to be spared of harm.

"Well, I can't say I'm glad to see you alive and well" Voldemort sneered. "But you being alive is what

will give me Potter" Lily hugged her knees tighter afraid to even look at him. "What do you want from us?"

she whispered. "I want Potter, dead" he spat "Killing you after is just a added bonus" Lily cringed as his

evil crackle echoed through the hall.

James spent a good twenty minutes searching the ground already and still nothing. He was beginning to get

Frustrated. Deciding to look again where they found Luna, James slowly retraced his steps careful not to

Footprints. Turning the corner he stopped, his heart beat a mile a minute. It couldn't be, not when he came

This far. There a few feet away stood Dumbledore, accompanied by Remus, Arthur Weasley and Ron.

Narrowing his eyes at Ron, he bit his lip to keep from yelling at him. He asked him to give him a head

Start, what a guy.

James had to get out of there quick before they found him. He couldn't have them dragging him back to the

Castle when he needed to save Lily. Slowly backing up he stilled, as Dumbledore seemed to be looking

At him "Don't move" Dumbledore cried out in alarm. James turned to make a run for it and slammed right

Into something or someone knocking him on his back. The cloak sunk to the dirt revealing James to them

Looking up James stared at three people he never seen before "It's him" a woman laughed in delight. Before

he could make a move, one of the men grabbed hold of him. The woman held up a rock, and James felt him

self being pulled away. The horror on Dumbledore's face was the last thing he saw as he faded away.

Voldemort paced in front of the cell. "Yes, I will finally kill Harry Potter and gain control of the world I

so richly deserve," he said. Lily looked up, fear in her eyes, he was coming after her son. "If you touch my

son, you better hope I don't get my wand back" she spoke with an unfamiliar voice. One of a protective

mother who gladly kill for her child. Voldemort stepped back slightly not expecting the sudden change in

her just as the chamber door flew open "Master" someone cried "Master, come quick, they have returned;

They have Harry Potter," he screamed in shock. Voldemort turned in a flash "WHAT DO YOU WANT

WITH MY SON!" she screamed to his retreating back "TELL ME NOW! I WILL KILL YOU, DO YOU

HEAR ME, I WILL KILL YOU!" she panted till the door slammed shut. This guy was after her future son.

The man had said they had Harry, Lily gasped, if they had Harry that meant they had "JAMES" she cried

To the room. They were going to kill James. Falling to her knees Lily prayed for death.
