A/N: Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry! Infinitive times sorry! I've been off the internet all weekend. I have three subjects of coursework, and I had work on Saturday. So I'm posting this from school (AKA evil place where they are intent on making you miserable by loading you down with work). Fred: Okay I only forgive her cause there are only three more chapters including this one and I'll soon be able to take a break from providing inspiration. Helen: Mei rocks my socks! She's going to post one of MY fics next! Fred: Yeah but not on this site. Helen: Oh minor technicality!

Mei: And now I feel really mean about saying this, but this chapter's gonna be short! Don't say I didn't warn you! ACH! Gotta go, the bell just rang!

Chapter 34

"How does it feel to be caught up in my net Mudblood?" Voldemort sneered at Lily who was summoning up all her courage and scowling right back at him.

"Let her go!" James yelled. The Death Eaters all laughed at him. Lily shivered. That kind of laughter was not one that made her feel particularly great.

"Where's the other girl?" Voldemort asked, looking around at the five teenagers.

"What you just noticed she wasn't here?" Sirius said sarcastically.

"Shut up Black!" one of the Death Eaters snarled.

"Why did you kidnap us?" Remus asked, with the air of a hasty distraction.

"Six of the most talented young witches and wizards ever," Voldemort hissed. "Potentially valuable allies…"

"Slaves you mean," Sirius broke in scornfully.

"Don't interrupt!" another of the Death Eaters snapped sending a jet of white light at Sirius. He hit the floor unconscious.

"Disappointing," Voldemort said. "I had expected more from a Black." He turned back to James and Remus his red eyes flashing sinisterly. "Join me and you could become more powerful than you are now."

"No way!" Lily spat, from her place just below the ceiling.

"I wasn't asking you Mudblood!" Voldemort snarled.

"Don't call her that!" James yelled. A stunning spell leapt from his wand. Voldemort deflected it lazily.

"How touching," he sneered. "But now I'm starting to grow impatient. Join me and I might just let you live."

"Never in a million years," Remus stated. "And I'm speaking for Jenny, Tash and Sirius."

"The last mistake of your life Lupin," Voldemort promised. "Potter?"

"I'd rather die than join you," James said. Above their heads Lily was nodding in agreement.

Voldemort looked furious. Lily doubted anyone had ever had the courage to turn him down before.

"So be it," he pointed his wand at Lily but before anything could happen another voice cut in.

"Verdimillious!"

There was a jet of pale green light and Voldemort gave an inhuman scream. Lily fell out of the air and landed dizzily on the floor.

"Bite that!" Lily looked around to see Tash, still lying on the floor, wand raised and a smug grin plastered on her face. Voldemort rounded on the group his red eyes full of fury.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Accio!" yelled Lily. A stack of boxes in the corner of the room toppled as Lily summoned one from the bottom row. There was a bang as the killing curse hit one. Feathers flew everywhere.

In the confusion, Lily, James and Remus began to duel the Death Eaters. Tash crawled over to Sirius and began trying to revive him.

"Luneresca!" James pointed his wand at three of the Death Eaters and they were instantly knocked out. Lily pulled him down as another killing curse soared over them.

"Stand aside!" Voldemort's voice cut through the feathers. "Avada Kedavra!"

Just before the curse struck another box flew through the room this time, directed by Remus. There was another bang and this time, old copies of the daily prophet exploded all over the room.

Fuming now, Voldemort flung another hex at the three teenagers, who all began summoning boxes to block the spells. Family possessions began exploding everywhere.

A box full of old trinkets was next to take a hit, releasing a cloud of purple smoke. Everyone coughed and spluttered.

"He can't keep up forever," James told Lily between coughs. "The killing curse takes energy. If we can keep him at bay till he gets tired then we'll have a better chance."

Lily nodded as the cloud began to clear. Taking advantage of the confusion, Remus was hexing the Death Eaters. A stunning spell flew over his shoulder and hit Tash, who was still trying to bring Sirius round.

"Tash!" Lily yelped.

"She'll be fine!" James said, summoning another box into the path of the next killing curse. Voldemort gave a snarl of fury and tried again. This time however the spell died before it could reach them. The Dark Lords energy was depleting. Completely fuming now, Voldemort sent another curse towards the group.

"What exactly is this achieving?" Remus asked over the noise of another three boxes and their artefacts ripping to pieces.

"Buying us some time till Jen gets back," James said quickly pulling both Lily and Remus out of the path of another spell. A stack of boxes behind the group exploded. Potion bottles shattered against the floor.

"Evanesco!" Lily yelled. Some of the potion mixtures disappeared. James was continuing to hex the Death Eaters until a scream from behind, took their attention.

Remus was drenched in potion the colour of molten metal. His hands and face were blistering. James was frantically trying to vanish the mess but the damage was done.

"What's happening?" Lily asked.

"Silver," James said. "It had silver in it!"

"Very interesting isn't it?" Voldemort asked. "The werewolf's allergy to a simple metal."

Lily glared at Voldemort hoping that maybe looks would start to kill now.

"I must say I'm impressed the three of you have lasted this long," the dark lord said, his eyes flicking briefly over Sirius and Tash. "Say goodbye to your friends."

He raised his wand. Lily gripped James hand.

There was a bang above their heads and the ceiling caved in by the stairs. The Death Eaters and Voldemort swung round to find Aurors swarming into the room. Leading them and looking extremely murderous to match, was Jenny.

"Lay a wand on my friends and you are so past tense!" she yelled before flinging hexes left right and centre. There were a series of loud cracks as the Death Eaters, outnumbered, fled. Voldemort yelled in fury and Lily took this opportunity to fire another curse at him. The Dark Lord blocked it and disapperated.

"Where'd that little son of a…?" Jenny fumed before noticing her boyfriend. "OH MY GOD!"

The fight ended abruptly as the rest of the Death Eaters disapperated. Lily flopped onto the ground as the aurors crowded round. Jenny was making frantic attempts to wake Remus up.

"What happened?" she squeaked looking at Lily.

"Silver," Lily said weakly. Jenny screamed, though this may have been due to the fact that she spotted Tash and Sirius lying unconscious beside them. Lily felt the world tilt hideously through exhaustion.

"Lily are you okay?" James asked, sitting beside her as the aurors attended to Remus.

"Tired," Lily muttered. "You were brilliant."

"No I wasn't, I was panicking," James said. "I was worried about you." He wrapped his arms around her and Lily drifted off into unconsciousness.

A/N: Ugh! I struggled with that chapter so don't be too hard on me if it was a little bit pathetic.

Next Chapter: What we always do after fights. We visit the hospital wing.

May Stardust fall in your dreams!
