Hey! Wow, this is my second chapter today. Okay, well, here's chapter nine!
Chapter nine Hit with full force
James didn't get how much he got hurt; he just had to save Lily. He tackled the Death Eater to the ground. He pointed his wand to the man in the cloak.
"Stupefy!"
James spell hit the man right in the face, causing him to stand still. Lily got her wand out.
"Impedimenta!"
Lily's spell caused Emma's captor to tip over.
"That was a mistake!" the captor holding Remus yelled, "You!" –he pointed to the nearest Death Eater- "Grab the girl's parents!"
Two Death Eater's dashed outside.
"No!" Lily screamed. She ran after the Death Eaters.
"Lily!" James shouted. Lily suddenly stopped. The Death Eater holding Remus took out his wand.
"Damn." James muttered under his breath.
"Crucio!"
Remus screamed out in pain as he fell to the ground writhing. Emma shut her eyes and turned away.
"Stupefy!"
Sirius spell caused his captor to fall over. Sirius and James both tackled the man who had his wand on Remus. Instead of resorting to wands, they hit him repeatedly over the face. The Death Eater raised his wand..
"Expelliarmus!" Remus gasped out his spell. The man's wand flew out of his hand. Another Death Eater came out of nowhere.
"INFERNO KUNSES!!" (1)
Fire instantly came from his wand, and surrounded the room. The room began to go up in flames. By this time, the Death Eaters had ran out of the room; one of them yelled over their shoulder, "You parents will be joining you shortly."
"Lily-"
"James, we need to-"
"I can't stand this heat-"
"Calm dow-"
"AQUARIS INJUNAR!" (2)
Water instantly sprayed through Lily's wand. It put out some of the water, enough to get them out of the room. Lily had tears running down her face but her wand was held steady.
"We need to get out. This house is going to catch on fire." Remus said firmly. Lily let out a sob and looked around the room. James felt so bad-
"Crucio!"
Someone shouted a spell downstairs.
"My parents!" Lily cried. The five of them sprinted down the stairs. When they got down, they ran inside the kitchen with their wands raised. Lily's parents were on the floor, unconscious.
"Their useless. Let's just get this over with." A Death Eater said. One of them raised their wands.
"Avada Ked-"
"NO!" James shouted, he ran toward the Death Eaters, taking them by completely surprise.
"Stupefy!"
James managed to get the one that was about to use the Killing Curse. A Death Eater turned toward him. His wand did a little slashing movement, and a purple flame came out of it. James raised his wand.
"Protego!"
James was momentarily knocked off his feet, but managed to get up. Sirius, Remus, Lily, and Emma were right by his side.
"Aah, so you would all like to die together? Well, that's just fine with me." One of the Death Eaters drawled.
"No one here is going to die. Not while I'm here." James said loudly.
That same Death Eater laughed. "Potter, is it?" he drawled, "Yes, I'm not surprised your trying to be brave. Condering your – past and heritage."
"What are your talking about?" James asked impatiently.
"Have your parents never told you, Potter?" he asked, obviously amused. James would have kept on talking, but he had to get out of here. He had to hold him off.Where were his parents?
"Reducto!" Remus shouted.
The spell hit the lamp on top of the Death Eaters, causing glass to shatter all over the place. The five of them ran for it. Only in different directions. James ran toward the kitched-he thought he saw Emma running toward the living room-
A flash of light filled the room. He heard someone yelp in surprise, then groan in pain..he knew that voice..
"Sirius!" James called out for his friend. He found him laying on the ground, holding his arm. James bent down.
"Are you okay?" James asked.
"Fine." Sirius said through gritted teeth. He got up.
"Stupefy!"
The spell came right at them. They looked up in shock. Remus came bounding out of nowhere, stepped in front of them and shouted, "Protego!"
"Nice, Moony!" James called over all the noise.
"Where's Lily and Emma?" Remus shouted over all the noise.
They heard a shriek. They turned around in horror to see that the flames that had once been in the room were now spreading rapidly. The fire had already spreaded downstairs.
"We did what we came for!" A death Eater shouted.
Ten or so Death Eaters broke a window. Lily and Emma ran toward James and his friends. A Death Eater turned around and shouted, "INFERNO KUNSES!"
Lily screamed. The wall behind them caught on fire. That was it! They couldn't get out! "Now what?!" Emma cried.
"We need to get out of here!" James shouted. But how? They couldn't get out, they were trapped. They fire was so bad he doubted whether a little water spell could get them all the way outside.
"HELLO?! IS ANYONE HERE?!" they heard a voice bellow.
"Dad!" James said, then he bellowed, "DAD! WERE OVER HERE!"
"James?!" he heard his mom shriek. "We need to get them out of there!"
"James- is there any way you can get out?" his dad asked over all the noise.
James quickly looked around. Wait! There was! How was he so stupid? There was a counter over to his right. They could jump on it and could possibly jump over the flames. The flames were getting really high though, they'd have to do it fast. He quickly explained the plan to the others.
"But-but-if we do that- it's only by chance we'll make it over!" Emma cried.
"We have no other options." James said, "Emma, you go first."
Emma seemed a little hesitant. She ran to the counter, jumped on it, and quickly made it to the other side. Lily went next. When she got over to the other side, she thought she might cry. There was her once beautiful tree, which was now covered in flames.
"James! What about her parents?" Remus asked. Lily's parents were right next to them, still unconscious. James bit his lip.
"We have to use the Water Charm.We have no other choice." James said. He was starting to get dizzy with all this smoke. He held up his wand.
"AQUARIS INJUNAR!" the three of them shouted at the same time.
Water quickly came out of their wands. And to their surprise, some of the fire went so they now had no problem getting over to where James parents were.
"What about my parents?!" Lily cried. James turned around.
"WINGARDRIUM LEVIOSA!"
Lily's dad hovered a few feet off the ground. Sirius did the same for Lily's mom.
"Nice work. Let's get out of here." Mr. Potter said, sounding relieved to get them all out safe.
"You aren't going anywhere!" a man's voice spat. Ten or so Death Eaters appeared out of nowhere. All of their wands raised. Mr. and Mrs. Potter raised their wands.
"James, get you and your friend out of here! We'll take care of Lily's parents!" Mrs. Potter cried. He and Sirius took the hover spell of Lily's parents.James wildly looked around for an exit.
"The Floo Network should be connected still-get out of here!" Mr. Potter shouted to his son as he shouted a spell at the Death Eaters. He was dueling with two at a time.
James didn't want to move, but he had to get the girls out of here. He felt someone grab his arm, he turned to see a terrified Lily looked at the scene.
"Come on." James muttered in her ear. They five of the scrambled over to the fireplace.
"Lily! Emma! You guys go first! Go to the Potter Manor!" James bellowed over all the noise.
The girls grabbed some Floo Power and got into the fireplace. James thought he saw their lips move and in an instant they disappeared in a bunch of green flames. James made to move to the fireplace but heard a woman scream. He turned around to see his mum get hit with a spell. The ceiling on top of her was crumbling- it would fall on her any moment.
"MUM!" James screamed. He was about to run toward her when Sirius and Remus grabbed both of his arms.
"No! James, we need to get out of here! They'll be fine!" Sirius shouted.
"No! I need to help them! Let go!" James was screaming himself hoarse. Remus and Sirius dragged him to the fireplace.
"Potter Manor!" Remus bellowed. Last he saw, the ceiling on top of his mum collapsed. He turned and saw his dad's face with mingled fear, anger, and shock.
The three of them were thrown into a room James was all to familiar with. He was so dizzy. He got up to see Lily and Emma on his bed. Lily was crying softly. James let out a roar of frusteration and turned around.
"I need to go back!" he shouted. Sirius and Remus quickly grabbed him.
"No! There's nothing you can do!" Remus said sharply.
"I CAN"T JUST LEAVE THEM!!" James roared. He kept on struggling until he was out of strength.
"You have to let your parents handle it!" Sirius said, trying to convince his friend.
"They can't fight off ten Death Eaters! I need to go back! LET GO! I can't leave them!" James bellowed. Why didn't they understand?
"You'll get yourself killed!" Sirius said loudly.
"But it's okay if my parents are killed?!" James shouted in Sirius's face.
"There's nothing you can do, James! The Aurors are on their way anyways! Their going to be fine! Your my best friend, I won't risk you getting hurt either! We have to stay here and watch over the girls!"Sirius yelled back. Then, in a softer voice, he said, "I know this is hard, James. But there's nothing any of us can do."
When James felt their grip soften, he fell to his kness.
"I couldn't save them.." he said quietly to himself, letting a tear roll down his face,
