Easter break came around, and the group decided to go to Miami beach, in America. Alice and Frank had decided to join them as well. They all excitedly headed over there after passing their apparating tests, and enjoyed the sun and relaxation of just being together. They looked around at the beautiful beach and decided to take a swim after getting settled in. Sirius and Skye headed off to surf and swim with the dolphins, while Remus and Ariel took a walk down the beach with Frank and Alice. Lily and James stayed on the beach, laying out in the sun, and enjoying each other's company. The pair watched the sunset, Lily laying against James in an effort to feel more loved than she already knew she was. James pushed her forward to get a good look at her face. He played with her hair in his left hand, and took her face with his right. They kissed a sweet and short kiss, yet still filled with incredible love and passion. James pulled away, and looked directly into her emerald green eyes.
"I love you, Lily. I've fallen completely in love with you." She looked like she would cry, and she did. She bowed her head, and then looked back up to her handsome and sweet boyfriend.
She replied in a loving whisper, "I love you, James."
Just as they were about to go inside, they heard screaming from behind them. Remus, Ariel, Frank, Alice, Skye, and Sirius were running at them, calling about Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, showing up in Miami.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Potter and his little friends. Running from the Dark Lord, are we? You'd be best to just join him, or you will die."
The Marauders and the Divines looked up to see Lucius Malfoy, along with Bellatrix Black and many more death eaters standing behind Voldemort. Hexes and curses were shouted, and the group started to fight back.
"Lily! Get inside with Ariel and Alice! Make a portkey!" Remus called.
She and Ariel sprinted off, but were stopped in their tracks by Bellatrix. She glared at them, and then sent a shining green curse their way. Luckily, James and Sirius had jumped in front and used a spell to stop the green jet of light. Bellatrix fell backwards, and became stunned when 4 shots of, "Stupify!" were shot to her chest. The boys and Skye went back to fighting, and Lily went inside, quickly, to make a portkey. They heard the door slam open from the basement where they were hiding. They hid behind some boxes, and saw Remus, Frank, and Skye enter. Soon after, James and Sirius came running in. Lily motioned to an old tire that she had charmed, and they were all on their way after defying Voldemort for the first, but not last time. They had not even been on the beach for 3 hours when they had been attacked.
