A/N: Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! The ferry was cancelled due to weather so we had to come back on the Clipper, which goes at about half the speed of a normal Condor ferry (advice to people travelling the Channel Islands DON'T TAKE THE CLIPPER IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY!)
But I'm here now so don't come after me with axes, sharp pointy things, Jenny's stolen green pyjamas, vicious dogs or cheese wheels or any of the other horrible things you have been threatening to do to me cause I didn't update on time!
Chapter 32
"Ready?" James asked. Lily grinned and they hurried towards the door.
"'bout time you showed up!" Jenny complained.
"We went as fast as we could," Lily said. "But its our last Hogsmeade visit and I want to savour it!"
"Ditto here," James nodded.
"Come on then," Tash said, and the six students set off towards the village.
"Where first?" Lily asked.
"Honeydukes!" Jenny squeaked. "I want to buy some chocolate!"
No one felt like arguing with her so they all set off into the sweet shop emerging fifteen minutes later with everyone laughing at Tash and Sirius who were having a contest to see who could blow the biggest bubbles with their gum.
"I win!" Sirius cheered. Tash pouted.
"What do I get for that?" Sirius asked.
"How about a hug?" Jenny offered enthusiastic as she always was at the prospect of hugging someone.
"No thank you Jenny," Sirius said politely, but everyone could see there was a flicker of fear in his eyes.
"That got him," James muttered to Lily.
"Where to next?" Tash asked.
"I want to go to Dervish and Bangs," Sirius said.
They made their way up to the top of the road.
"Okay I got one," Jen said. "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with b!"
"Must we play this?" Tash sighed.
"You suggested it," Jenny said accusingly.
"Bird," Lily said monotonously.
"Got it again!" Jenny said in surprise.
"Well I'll tell you what I spy," Sirius said. "A closed shop."
They had reached Dervish and Bangs only to find that the shop was locked up.
"That's strange," James frowned. "They're not usually closed, especially on a weekend when the students are allowed down here."
Lily frowned and looked at everyone else's faces. Everyone was looking curious.
"Eh well," Sirius shrugged. "Where shall we go next?"
"Carpe Retractum!"
A thin gold ribbon shot out of the alley by the side of the shop and wrapped itself around Tash's wrist. She gave a yelp as it dragged her out of sight.
"What the bloody hell…!"
"Come on!" Lily said, pulling out her wand and running into the alley.
There were three flashes of light and Sirius, Jenny and James fell to the ground.
"No!" Lily cried running to James's side. Remus was looking around wildly for whoever was attacking them. There was another flash of light and he keeled over. Lily looked up just in time to see a group of black figures surround her before she fell into darkness.
OOO
"Lily! Lily! Get up! We've been kidnapped!"
"Keep it down damn it!"
Lily awoke to find James bending over her looking worried.
"Where are we?" Lily asked.
"No idea," James said hugging her. "We all just woke up."
Lily looked around to see Remus and Jenny checking the room for any way out. Sirius was trying to wake Tash up.
"Who kidnapped us?" Lily asked.
"Don't know, but I suppose we could make an educated guess," James said.
"Educated!" Jenny asked. "I'd bet anything in the world without an education!"
"Tash," Sirius said, shaking his girlfriend, only to receive a weak punch in the face.
"Don't want to go to school today," she mumbled.
"GET UP!" Jenny screamed at her.
"Shh!" Remus hissed, pulling Sirius upright.
"Jesus, I'm dating a violent woman!"
"Where are we?" Tash asked, reaching for her wand only to find it wasn't there.
"Where the hell is my wand?" she freaked. Lily and Jenny automatically checked their own pockets, only to find them empty.
"They're in here," Remus said. "I came round just as they were taking them."
He was pointing to a desk in the corner of the room. Taking a good look around, Lily could see that they were in a bedroom which looked like it belonged to a girl. The wall paper was flowery with an inch of dust covering the pink carpet.
"The draw's locked," James said examining the desk.
"Here," Sirius said striding up to the desk and feeling in his pocket. "Damn! They've taken it! Tash have you got yours?"
"What are they talking about?" Jenny asked no one in particular.
"Got it!" Tash said pulling out a pen knife.
"Birthday present from Sirius," she said running the blade of the knife in the crack of the draw. It clicked open.
"Romantic?" Lily asked sceptically.
"Practical," Tash corrected.
"Why didn't they confiscate it when they took our wands?" James asked.
"Who ever said I was hiding it in my pocket?" Tash askedinnocently, pulling open the draw. "Voila!"
Grinning now Lily took her wand back, very glad to see it again.
"Okay, we are armed now we have to get out of here," James said.
"Alohamora!" Lily pointed her wand at the door. It remained shut.
"The knife," Lily said. Sirius came forwards with his own knife and the door clicked.
"Right who's first?" he asked.
"Not me!" Jenny said.
"I'll go," James sighed wrenching open the door. Everyone made to follow when James stopped in the doorway causing everyone to slam into each other.
"Ouch!" Jenny complained as a jet of red light hit the door frame and James slammed the door shut again and locked it.
"Right, not going out that way," he said hurrying to the window.
"Why?" Lily asked.
"It's full of Death Eaters," James said.
"How many?" Sirius asked.
"About twenty give or take," James said peering out of the window. "Woah! We're two stories up!"
"And no other exits," Remus said looking around the room. There was a bang outside and the door shuddered.
"That spell won't last forever," James said. "We need a way out of here and fast!"
"Alohomora!" a voice outside commanded. Thinking fast, Lily dragged everyone into the centre of the room.
"Going down!" she yelled. "Reducto!"
A/N: Shorter, I know! Don't kill I will update soon
