Chapter 50
At King's Cross the next day, Lily and James left platform nine and three quarters together and were surprised to find Mr and Mrs Evans and Rion deep in conversation. James walked up behind Rion and gave him a bear hug.
Rion struggled to pull his laughing brother off. When he finally managed it, he turned and gave him a noogie.
"It's good to see you mate!" Rion exclaimed.
James grinned. 'You too. Hi Mr and Mrs Evans!"
"So, is this your girlfriend?" Rion teased, emphasising the last word.
James blushed and started to retort, but changed his mind and turned to Lily. Lily looked at her parents and Rion and then looked back at James. She pulled him into a mind-blowing, knock-the-pants-off-the-pope kiss.
"Answer your question, Orion?" James taunted as Lily left with her shocked parents.
Rion chose to ignore this. "Where are Sirius and Remus? Weren't they coming with us?"
"They're saying goodbye to Yvonne and Helga."
James mentally kicked himself for giving Rion another reason to tease him and his friends as Sirius and Remus came through the barrier with their trunks. They stayed with James and Rion for the first week of the holidays, promising to meet at Diagon Alley later on.
***
A month or so later, Helga, Yvonne, Lily, James, Sirius and Remus met in Diagon Alley. They went to Florean's for ice-cream with their parents and Rion once they'd bought all their school supplies.
The group of teenagers sat at the only available table in the courtyard, near a group of shifty looking men in dark robes.
"Sirius, that's disgusting." Helga exclaimed as Sirius decorated his face with melted ice-cream.
"Don't you think it looks good?" Sirius asked, mock offended.
"No, I don't." Helga replied, wiping it off with her napkin.
Sirius grinned as though that had been his original intention.
James and Remus rolled their eyes.
"Will you ever grow up?" Remus asked.
Sirius appeared to think for a second, then shook his head vigorously.
"Hey Lil, d'you wanna come back to my place this afternoon?" James asked.
"Sure, I'd love to!"
"Great, I'll tell Rion." James said getting up from his seat.
As he got up, the men in dark robes who had occupied the table near them rushed over and grabbed him, Sirius and Remus, holding their arms behind their backs so that they couldn't reach for their wands.
"James!" cried Rion, hearing the scuffle.
Remus and Sirius' parents and Rion whipped out their wands and started throwing curses in the direction of the dark robed men, but they were too late. The men holding the marauders each touched a portkey to their struggling captives and vanished.
Rion immediately took a mirror from his pocket and spoke into it, requesting a group of aurors to join him immediately.
"Rion, what's going on?" Mrs Evans demanded.
"Deatheaters." he replied grimly. "Voldemort's followers."
Lily, Yvonne and Helga gasped.
"Oh no!"
***
James, Sirius and Remus arrived in a cold dark corridor and immediately attempted to run from their captors. The deatheaters caught them easily and took their wands. They fought as best they could, but didn't do very well against men who were twice their size and number. They each picked up quite a few bruises before they were stunned unconscious and thrown into a small, dark cell.
A/N YOU MUST READ THIS!!! DON'T SKIP IT! Ok, now that we have your attention. . . In the next few chapters you're probably going to develop a huge dislike for one of the characters. Chapter 51 in particular is very. . . well, difficult. Please don't stop reading this fic on account of this character's behaviour. We won't say now who that character is because that would ruin the surprise. It will be explained in a few chapter's time, we promise. By the way, we will be offended if we don't get hate mail for the next chapter. Just so you know.
Keep the reviews coming.
