Disclaimer: I still own nothing
It took them a few days but they finally got better. James and Lily both went to work but on different days they
decided they had enough. They quit becoming full time wizards and witches. With nothing to hold them back,
they took the time and studied everything that Remus and Sirius taught them. They began with the basics like
matchsticks to pins and other things in first year. They moved very quickly for memory loss patients. Within a
week they had gotten through second year. They spent two weeks on third year stuff. In a month, they were on
the final year. That took a month in itself because it was very complicated patterns and materials that they
needed. All four of them were happy with the progress, but something still seemed to be missing in their lives.
Harry was sitting in the common room with Hermione and Ron working on their essays for Defense with Snape.
Why Dumbledore decided to use him Harry had no idea. Suddenly his best class was Potions but it was only
because of this Half-Blood Prince. And then there was the fact that Ron was still going out with Lavender.
Always snogging with her but he just never really seemed to like her. Harry noticed that almost every time he
was with her, he always looked at what Hermione was doing. And on top of all that, she always looked like she
wanted to strangle Lavender. Harry was actually surprised that Lavender wasn't around Ron tonight but for that
Harry was grateful. Now if only he could keep his feelings for Ginny in check. "Is something wrong Harry,"
Hermione asked. He looked over and noticed that there were blotches on his essay and he had been staring off
into space. "You didn't have another vision did you," Ron asked looking around. "No, I was just thinking about
stuff." There were also the lessons with Dumbledore, being Quidditch Captain and that weird feeling he'd had
since the beginning of summer. He just sighed and put his things away to go to bed.
"I can't believe it's the end of November," Sirius said sipping his cocoa. He and Remus were sitting in their
apartment one night. They hadn't received any letters from Harry in a while, but that's to be expected. He is
taking N.E.W.T level classes so they had a ton of work to do. In their response a few months ago, they said
that they were happy to hear from him, Sirius cursed Snape off a bit, they didn't know who the "prince" was,
they had to hear from him about the lessons, and more Snape cursing. All in all, everything was great. The only
thing they really needed now was for them to remember everything.
James was sitting in the living room when he heard something. "Lily, get over here." She walked into the room
and noticed the tense look. "What is it James?" "Stay over here. Get your wand out and be ready just in case."
She nodded as he went to the phone. He was just about to dial when Lily screamed. "Lily!" In front of him
stood a man with balding blonde hair and watery eyes. He looked down to see Lily lying on the floor, not
moving but breathing. "Say good night James," the man said. He said something but James moved right in the
nick of time and shot another stunner back at him. The man crumpled to the ground but not before another man
arrived, this one in a white mask, took Lily and left. James, attempting to remain strong, tied up the man on the
floor. He then went to the phone and dialed their apartment. "Ryan and Seth's place. Seth spe..." "Sirius cut it
out and get over here. Fast." James hung up and held his wand over the man as the both of them came inside.
"What happened in here," Remus asked looking around. That was when they noticed the man lying on the
ground. "Peter," Sirius whispered. "James, how did he get here," Remus asked. "I don't know but someone
must have told him we were here. What should we do with him?" "We're going to take him to the Ministry that's
what," Sirius said looking at Remus now. "This is how I'm finally going to really be free." Remus nodded and
cast a charm on him that made him float behind him. "I should go now. Where's Lily?" James looked close to
tears now. Before he said it though, a small note appeared in a wisp of smoke right in the middle of them. James
bent over to pick it up, but not before Sirius stopped him. He shook his head and using his wand, opened it. A
voice that sent chills up everyone's spine began to speak. "Hello Potter. You're probably wondering where your
precious Mudblood wife is but don't be afraid. She's with me. Maybe that is reason to fear but if you come
quietly to me I'll let you both go. Just in return hand over your son. I'm going to be giving you one month so
you'd better hurry. Ta" The letter disappeared, now in a burst of flame. No one said anything for a bit. "I'm
going to get him to the officials then," Remus said. They disappeared and Sirius went over to the fireplace.
"Hogwarts, Headmaster's office," he called.
Albus was just about to send out his latest letter to Harry when a voice interrupted him. "Albus, we need you
quickly!" He almost jumped out of his chair but remembered that his arm was in immense pain, he went much
more slowly. "Sirius, whatever is the problem?" "Sir, James and Lily were attacked. Death Eaters took her and
James has only a month to get her back." Albus' customary twinkle was gone. "Are you certain?" "Certain to
the point where we got Peter too. Remus' bringing him to the Ministry as we speak." "Well, that's good news at
least." "Yes, so now what?" "I'm sorry to say but now the Order needs to get involved. We're going to have an
emergency meeting tonight at midnight at headquarters. James is going to need to be there as well." "Okay,
we're going to be there." Suddenly, they both heard a loud, painful yelling. "What's that," Albus asked. "I'd
better go," Sirius said urgently.
When Sirius' head returned, he saw that James had grabbed his head and his eyes were bugging out. "James,
what's wrong?" He didn't say anything in return but collapsed. Sirius was about to poke him, but he sat bolt
upright and looked around. "What's going on? Where's Lily and Harry!" He looked to Sirius very slowly. "Lord
Voldemort has my wife and wants my son," he said trying to stay calm. "James, is that really you now?" Slowly
he nodded his head and stood up. "What's a month from now?" Sirius ran over to a calendar and almost
gasped. "Christmas Day." James nodded resolutely. "And we'll be ready."
OMG Lily's been Kidnapped! I know you people are reading this story, so why aren't you reviewing. I wanted at least 2 before the next chapter comes out. Please. Do it for the college student. P.S- There is is sequel once this is over.
