"What took you so long?" He snapped at her. She did not answer his question. "Do you have them?" He asked. She nodded and stretched her arm, dropping Harry's and Draco's wands into Voldemort's pale hand. The two boys noticed that Lily's hand was covered in blood and that her robe was stained with it as well, especially at the side of her body.

"Good" Voldemort said and began to turn around but stopped, then turned to face Lily once more.

"You didn't meet anyone on your way here, did you?" She shook her head. "You don't happen to be under anyone else's…influence?" She shook her head again. Voldemort didn't seem to believe her. He closed his eyes, like before and stood silently.

Suddenly, Lily let out a scream. She fell to her knees, clutching the side of her body. Harry and Draco noticed blood flowing through her fingers that wereholding on to her sidefor dear life. She curled up into a ball and rocked in pain.

Voldemort opened his eyes. He looked down at Lily's limp figure and smiled. "Excellent…let's go on"

The Dark Lord reached into his pocket and took out his own wand. He waved toward the circle of light and the circle moved slowly to where the wand led it. Voldemort guided his wand so the circle now surrounded the boys and they were tied right in the middle of it. Voldemort then snapped his wand at Harry and Draco. The chairs and the ropes disappeared in an instant. The two boys fell to the ground with a thud.

At this point, Draco was starting to get nervous. What was going to happen to them? He tried to run forward but as soon as he touched the circle surrounding him he flew backwards and landed on the ground. Voldemort turned and when he saw Draco curled up on the ground, he laughed.

"Foolish boy. You thought I wouldn't make sure you could not leave?" He said. However, Draco was not stirred by his comment. He didn't seem to want to give up. He stood up and ran to the edge of the circle, careful not to touch it again.

"Lily! Lily, look at me!" He yelled out. Lily did not move. She lay on her back, breathing deeply, with her eyes staring up to the ceiling. "Lily! Lily, please, this isn't you! I love you, Lily!" A tear formed in Lily's eye and she just turned to her side, her back to Draco.

"Give it up. Malfoy…" Draco turned to face Harry who was still sitting on the ground in where he fell off the chair. His eyes were fixed on the floor.

"Give it up? What do you mean give it up?"

"Don't you see? She's not who we thought she is!"

"I don't believe it!" Draco turned to look at Lily again, "LILY!"

"Don't waste your breath, boy. She does not have her own mind" Voldemort let out another cold laugh and started searching his pockets.

"Who is she, then?" Harry asked, standing up.

"Just some girl I picked up at a village once. I'm not really sure, myself…"

Harry looked at the stranger he loved and felt his chest ache. Draco, next to him, was feeling the same and he almost let out a scream of agony.

"Ah, there we go…" Voldemort pulled a small piece of paper out of his pocket and read over it quickly. After scanning it a few times he put it back inside his robe and turned to the boys.

"Well, can't chat anymore. I have to take your souls" He smiled wickedly. "You! Get over here!" Lily shot up from the ground and walked over to where Voldemort was standing. "Get down on your knees, we're going to do this together" Lily knelt in front of the circle. She did not look at the boys. Her gaze was focused somewhere beyond them. Voldemort placed the wands he was holding in his hand in front of him on the ground and stood up straight.

"Ready?"

Lily nodded quietly. With a flick of his own wand, Voldemort made the lights switch off so the only source of illumination was the circle. The boys could not see a thing. They stood quietly for a few seconds, dreading what is to come. Suddenly, they heard Voldemort's voice. He was speaking unfamiliar words. Each one of these words was repeated by Lily.

Draco was the first to feel the effect. Harry saw him clutch his chest and let out a scream. He watched in horror as Voldemort's and Lily's voice filled his ears. It reached a point where he couldn't tell which one was which and then it hit him as well. A sudden strike to the chest made him let out a scream. It felt as if someone was trying to pull out his heart. His eyes watered and he tried to struggle against the pain. Draco beside him was on the floor, gasping for air between screams of pain. They both wanted it to end. They wanted the pain to go away before it killed them. If Voldemort didn't finish what he has planned first, that is.

Harry tried to struggle. He tried to stay awake. He saw the outline of Voldemort in front of him, holding his hands over the two wands. Harry looked down as well. The wands were joining! Slowly they were joining into one. He heard Draco collapse next to him and just before he thought he would join him, the voices stopped reciting. He heard pops and suddenly saw other human figures moving around. He heard voices yelling to each other. That voice! He knew that voice, he knew who that was! Dumbledore found them, thank god! Harry felt his eyes closing. The pain in his head and chest were too much for him. He was able to keep his eyes open long enough to see Voldemort's figure disappear and Lily collapse to the floor.
