Evan Rosier snuck quietly down the corridor that had once been he and his master's old secret passageway and deemed it ingenious on his lords' part to conjure up this current plan. He motioned to the others behind him and they emerged quickly from the darkness and moved next to Rosier who began to quicken his pace with his wand held high lighting up the passageway.

'Rosier, where are we going,' muttered the smallest death eater 'should we not wait for Snape-'

'Severus Snape will be of no help to us,' Rosier spat checking the corridor 'this our task not that filthy mudblood-'

'Talking about me in the most pleasant of manners are we Rosier,' said 17-year-old Severus Snape, he had appeared from nowhere and was munching on an apple. He took in Rosier and the others but made no attempt to disarm any of them or to readily join them.

'Go back to your common room Snape,' Rosier said 'this is my mission and Dumbledore is-'

'Aware that you are here,' Snape finished 'the ministry has been notified, someone has squealed,'

What little colour was in Rosiers face left it dramatically and he surveyed Snape with the utmost dislike ad lowered his wand

'What do you mean?' Rosier demanded

'Black, he squealed or Dumbledore is cleverer than our master thought, Rosier,'

Lily and James had raced up to the castle at break neck speed and James insisted that he wanted to go the divination tower and take Voldermort on himself but Lily refused vehemently.

'You are not, I repeat not going up there to face Voldermort on your own,' Lily said ferociously

James was irritated but agreed to go up to Dumbledores office and he knew if he faced Lord Voldermort Lily would most likely be killed or injured and James could not bare to thing of either situation. Reaching the beautiful golden phoenix they realised they did not know the new password but they were greeted by Sirius and Remus emrging from the office who hurriedly gave them the password but not before filling them in on the situation.

'Regulus, he is working for Lord Voldermort,' Remus explained and James' face fell in disbelief, he knew Regulus was a spoilt brat and a bit of an idiot sometimes but he didn't think he was that stupid. 'and he is here,'

'So whats Dumbledore doing about it,' James rushed

'Nothing' Sirius mumbled 'says Voldermort will flee soon, but not by his hand,'

'Hes the most powerful wizard-'

'Don't you think we said that Lily,' Sirius replied disgruntled 'he said it was someone elses job,'

'Let me talk to him,; James insisted 'we have to do something,'

'The Order are dealing with it,' Remus said bitterly 'Dumbledore thinks we are not qualified enough yet,'

Sirius snorted

'Well I'm doing something about it, this is our school and we aren't going down without a fight,' James said boldly 'anyone else with me?'

Sirius and Remus looked sceptically from one to the other and then back to Jams who was wearing a look of self determination, a look the both of them had often witnessed before the last Quidditch game of every season. Lily realised the situation and shrieked

'NO!' she paused, 'you all aren't even 18!'

But they were no longer listening and walking briskly down to the broom sheds

'Sirius, the Four Formation, if we play by that he won't stand a chance,'

'You're taking the most powerful wizard of the world on by using Quidditch techniques!' Lily called after them, she sprinted after hr boyfriend who right now sh deemed a complete idiot and maniac.

'You can't take him on,' Lily begged as they crossed the courtyard, they has all stopped in their tracks and saw Snape sat in the archway of the courtyard talking to someone.

'Snape,' Sirius called out, Severus spun round and there was a scuffling sound from the shadows on the other side f the courtyard.

'What do you want Black,' he spat

'You, it was you who let him in wasn't it,'

Snapes mouth twisted into an awful smirk, Lily clung to James like an innocent 7 year old muggle girl, wherever her courage was it certainly wasn't wihin her she felt helpless.

Then out of the darkness someone yelled a curse

'CRUCIO'

AN: CLIFFHANGER! Next time on Dreaming:

Lily fell to the floor instantly and shook violently; James whipped out his own wand and yelled

'EXPELLIARMUS'

A wand flew about fifty feet in the air, Sirius ran past Snape and into the corridor on this side of the courtyard where he found a group of wizards grimacing, the tallest wizard holding his wand high and glowing as it continued the curse on Lily. Sirius then said

'Leave them alone Rosier, this is between you and me,'

Rosier took of his mask and grinned

'Ar, the other Black,'
