A/N: Fred: Welcome to Guernsey. The weather sucks, sleep is none existent, and the starts are early! It didn't look like this in the brochure.(stuffs face with trick or treat) Mei's nice, she went trick or treating! Mei stomps to computer wet and angry: Sodding Guernsey weather…

So sorry to keep everyone waiting. Happy Halloween for Monday! I went trick or treating (yes I know I'm seventeen and I'm a little old for it but sod it! This is the last year I'll probably be able to get away with it!) I went as a sorceress! Jenny was a bright purple butterfly (complete with wings that she was in danger of knocking us out with) and we went with Jenny's friend Anti who went as a cat. We enraged two dogs (just by walking to the door for gods sakes!), got loads of sugar, and we also decided to go and look at this house that's supposed to be haunted. We got about half way down the street before Jenny said and I quote 'is that a light!' That was all it took for us all to scream and run back the way we came. Yes go ahead and laugh. I still got candy so I don't care!

Thanks to my reviewers! Enjoy my action packed chapter!

Chapter 33

Everyone fell through the hole and landed in the room below.

"Reparo!" Lily shouted. The hole in the ceiling disappeared.

"Everyone okay?" Lily asked.

"Well we could use some warning next time," Tash muttered.

"That's gratitude for you," Lily complained picking herself up.

"Good thinking Lily," James said looking around the room. "Looks like we're back in a bedroom."

Everyone looked around and sure enough, they were back in another bedroom.

"I'll bet this is the house of a family they killed," Sirius said.

"You're right," Remus turned around holding a photograph he had found on the nightstand. Waving from the frame was a man a woman and two identical girls.

"Hang on," Jen said. "Isn't that…?"

"Cassie and Olivia Travis," Lily whispered. "This must have been their house."

"Now it's a Death Eater hideout," Remus finished grimly.

"How do we get out of here?" Tash asked.

"Without getting spotted," James said. "With difficulty. I say we get off this floor before they find us."

He hurried to the door and opened it slowly.

"Empty, come on."

Shivering with nerves, Lily crept after him wondering how on earth they were going to get out of this alive.

The group came out on the landing and looked around. The house was showing signs of neglect after almost two months of disuse. Dust had settled on the floor and the windows were boarded up, probably by the aurors after they had left. There was a drip from the ceiling, coming from the leaky pipe above their heads.

"Remind you of the shrieking shack?" Sirius asked as they went down the stairs.

"It does actually," Remus said glancing around at the house.

"Ow!" Lily cried out as she put her foot through the bottom stair. The wood was starting to rot through due to the dripping water from above. Tash and Jenny seized her arms and pulled her up.

"Bit like the trick stairs at school," James remarked. "This must be the ground floor."

"Then that must be the basement you almost put your foot through Lils," Jenny smiled.

"Guys," Tash swallowed. "You don't think Voldemort's in here?"

"Possibly," James said peering around the hallway as though expecting Voldemort to jump out from behind the staircase. "Be careful. He's supposed to be a skilled occlumens."

"Well maybe if we all think nasty thoughts he'll die of shock," Jenny suggested.

"Jen that's not funny!" Lily said.

"Yes it is!" Tash laughed.

"Seriously its not," James said.

"Doors locked," Remus said, going over to check the front door.

"Suppose they're apperating in," Jenny suggested.

"They can't be," James shook his head. "I tried to apperate before we woke you all up. They must have a jinx on the house."

"Floo powder?" Sirius suggested. "It must be magical. They wouldn't want people just to stroll up to the front door."

"Or for the captives to stroll out," Lily pointed out nodding at the door.

"How about the basement?" Remus suggested.

"Locked," Tash said trying the handle and then her knife.

"Melted! I don't know what they did to that door but it's melted the blade!" she looked sadly at the knife before replacing it in her pocket.

"What about the hole that Lily made?" Sirius suggested. "Could we get in through there?"

"Maybe," James ran to the stairs and peered through the hole. "If we make it bigger."

And before anyone could add anything there was an ear splitting bang and the bottom three stairs disappeared.

"Hurry. Someone will have heard that," James said. Lily climbed down first and landed on concrete.

"Come on down," she said looking around the basement. It was stacked high with boxes filled with old clothes and toys. Jenny landed next to her.

"Hey there's a window!" she said running over to check just as Tash jumped down.

"Can you open it?" Lily asked. Jenny was climbing boxes to get to the window, which was near the ceiling allowing light to stream in. Sirius jumped through the hole next.

"What are we looking at?" he asked.

"The window," Lily said. "If the door was locked then maybe they haven't been down here. That spell on the door must have been put on by the family."

"So nothing down here will be locked up!" Tash said as Jenny pushed the small window open.

"Can one of you get through that?" Sirius asked.

"Why can't we just blast it?" Tash asked.

"If we blow the wall, chances are the ceiling will come down on our heads," Lily pointed out before anyone could try Tash's suggestion.

"I'm too big," Tash said examining the window. James and Remus appeared and joined them at the stack of boxes.

"Jenny could get through that," Lily said.

"No way! I'm not leaving you here!" Jenny protested.

"It's either that or we all stay here and die!" Lily retorted. "If you get out you can go and get help."

"I don't care I'm not leaving you all," Jenny said stubbornly. "I won't run away and leave my friends in danger."

"You have to," Lily said. There was a silence in the room.

"Jenny either you go and we stand a chance of getting out of here," Remus said. "Or we all stay here and wait for them to find us. Do you really think if they find us we stand a chance of surviving?"

Jenny looked at each of them in turn then sighed in defeat.

"Alright," she said. "Someone needs to hold the window open for me."

"As soon as you're clear of the house apperate back to Hogsmeade," James said. "Its four thirty so the shops will still be open. Go to honeydukes, there's a secret passage in the basement…"

"I know, Remus showed me a while ago," Jenny said.

"You'll get back to Hogwarts quicker that way," James finished.

"Tash hold the window for me," Jenny said. Lily and Tash gave their friend a hug before helping her out the window.

"I never thought I'd see daylight again," Jenny muttered before bending down so she could speak to everyone.

"I'll be back as soon as I can," she promised before running away from the house.

"If anything happens to her I'll never forgive myself," Lily said as Jenny turned on the spot and disapperated.

"Me too," Tash nodded her head.

"Come on, we'd better try and find our own way out of here," James said.

"Take it we aren't getting back through our hole," Sirius said, looking at the hole they had fashioned in the ceiling.

"You got a ladder?" Lily asked dryly.

Before anyone could add further comment or suggestion, there was a bang and the door was blown off its hinges. Everyone backed away against the wall.

"Think they found us," Tash said.

"State the ob…" Lily began.

"Advada Kedavra!" shouted one of the Death Eaters. Lily and Tash flung themselves behind the nearest stack of boxes as the curse hit the wall behind them.

"Invocatum!" Lily heard James shout. Tash jumped up and began firing hexes left right and centre. Getting up, Lily did the same dodging as another killing curse was fired.

"Impedimenta!" Lily shouted. The nearest Death Eater froze and Lily knocked him into the nearest pile of boxes.

"Protego!" Remus cried. A shield burst out of his wand covering all five of them from a barrage of stunning spells that had been fired.

"Lunaresca!" Tash yelled. A bright beam of light shot out of her wand and several Death Eaters dropped to the floor.

"Comaxa!" a Death Eater with an oily voice stepped forwards. Lily pulled Tash to the floor missing the curse by inches.

"Cheers," Tash said quickly before disarming their attacker. Lily followed with a stunning spell. The Death Eaters hood slipped off. Lily didn't recognise the face but the voice that she had heard a second ago held recognition. It was Lucius Malfoy.

"Lunaresca!" Tash shouted desperately again. Three more Death Eaters were caught in her spell. There was a flash of light and Lily gasped as Tash dropped to the floor unconscious.

Lily wanted to help her but the killing curse that another Death Eater had fired brought her back. Thinking quickly she summoned the nearest box which caught the curse.

"Tash!" Sirius shouted and Lily could see him running over to her. Lily quickly performed a shield charm to stop anyone trying to hex him. As she did something hit her in the back.

Lily looked around to see that something was lifting her off the ground. One of the Death Eaters had caught her in a manipulation spell. She was now about a foot off the floor and was paralyzed with fear.

As one all the Death Eaters stopped firing at them. James, Sirius and Remus were all keeping a tight grip on their wands. James was watching Lily with one eye wondering which Death Eater had her caught.

One of the figures came forwards from the rest and a new sensation of fear gripped Lily as tight as the spell which held her.

It wasn't a Death Eater who had caught her. The face sneering up at her was that of Lord Voldemort.

A/N: YAY! IT'S THE-MAN-WHO-FAILED-TO-KILL-THE-BOY-WHO-LIVED-NOT-ONCE-BUT-FIVE-BLOODY-TIMES! Sorry this is what me and my friends call Voldemort. Aren't you all so happy I've got some action in here? Next update will be Sunday probably cause I have a lot going on Saturday. Firstly I have to sleep in. Then I have to go and teach a bunch of nine to ten year olds how to use a camera. And then I have to go to work. If you live in Guernsey and you happen to be visiting Marks and Spencer Food Hall (the one in St Martins) any time after five o clock, come and say hi to me! I'll probably be bored!

Next Chapter: Once defied. Jenny to the rescue! 'insert mission impossible music here!'

May Stardust fall in your dreams!
