"Oh God, Lily. Come on, wake up. What's wrong?" Alexandria questioned her friend, looking at her limp form before turning towards Emily. "Emily, please. We've got to wake her up!"
Harry, who was still in Alexandria's arms, screamed bloody murder. The woman's screams of panic didn't help, but they couldn't help but be afraid. Especially after they saw who was approaching them.
Emily didn't seem to notice. She only took a step back as she looked towards the old, familiar figure in panic. "What are you're doing here? How could you do this to Lily and them?" she demanded, and the cloaked figure looked at her through the hood. Emily and Alexandria knew very well who it was, and the fact that the individual had a wand held tightly in his hand didn't help matters.
"Ah, so it's you. All of you. I was beginning to wonder what would become of you all after you graduated," came a sneer, and the hood was pushed back to reveal Severus Snape. "I must say, I never expected your impact to be as great as this--nor for you to be worthy enough to be captured rather than killed on the spot. Tell me, why is it the Dark Lord wants you so badly. I must say, all of the Death Eaters are rather curious."
At his drawl, Alexandria rushed towards him, as if to slap him, but Emily tried to hold her friend back.
"Don't, you've got Harry," she whispered, while the young child screamed in her grasp. Sighing out of frustration, Alexandria glared towards Snape before stepping away.
"Do you expect we know? I have no idea myself, we were just spending our day in Hogsmeade, you come up strutting your abnormally annoying self as usual, and immediately start hissing about James' wardrobe. I thought it rather rude, then, that'd they would insult your mother like that. However, seeing you here now as you obviously have entangled yourself with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named makes me want to dance with laughter."
Her voice was cold, and she glared towards him before crossing her arms.
"Don't speak of that again," Snape hissed before he looked around him and lowered his voice to a whisper. "I am not in league with the Dark Lord, I have specific orders from Dumbledore to get you three from this prison. Do not repeat what I've just told you, I'll wait for the right moment and then I'll release you. But by my life, if you so much as speak word of what happened in Hogsmeade or anything else that relates me to those two men that like to call themselves James Potter and Sirius Black, I will have no choice but to leave you to your doom."
Both concious girls nodded slightly, as if afraid to speak, before Snape pulled his hood up again. Taking his wand, he pointed it towards Lily and revived her quickly with 'Ennervate' and then he was off.
Lily woke up immediately, blinking as she choked back a sob from her fear. "What happened?" she questioned, panicked while she reached out to pull Harry to her. Harry immediately clung to her, grasping tightly to her robes.
Alexandria and Emily quickly filled her in on everything that had happened.
"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Emily whispered, despite Snape's warning to not speak of it. She just had to know.
Sighing, Alexandria shrugged. "Is there any other choice?" was her only response as she set back by Lily who was struggling to get up, and she grabbed Harry quickly.
"Oh, Harry," Lily whispered, hugging him tightly before sighing. "No. There's not. We just have to pray."
What they didn't know, amongst all of their worries, however, was that back at home Sirius, James, and Remus were working on a way to get their girls and young Harry back. Unfortunately, they had no idea of Snape's own plan.
They just had to hope amongst themselves that they wouldn't get caught, and that amongst all other things they could even find the girls. And they would kill if they had to, for they knew if they didn't, they themselves could be killed.
Okies everyone...I realized that I only received one review for this chapter (Thank you, Meghan) and I'm just wondering if anyone is still reading this. I've been considering rewriting the chapters, so I'd like all your opinions on that. And I miss my loffly old reviews. If you lost interest, just send me something letting me know how to change it and give me opinions. After all, I'm writing this so you can enjoy it. Atleast let me know what's wrong!
