Hello readers. I think it's best to warn you that this fanfiction is now going to be M. I'm sorry if this bothers and stops you from reading…it just sort of happened. There are some words here that I understand do offended and I know the idea that some people have premarital sex is unheard of. I promise that there are not going to be sex scenes, but there is enough information so you can figure out what happened.

The Death Eaters March!

The underground was alive on March the seventeenth. The Spanish Ministry of Magic was meeting with Voldemort. Rumors circulated that Spain, like Russia, would form an alliance with the death eaters. Many muggleborn and mixed witches and wizards flooded the streets, carrying suitcases. Most forms of wizarding transportation had been shut down when the death eaters entered Spain. For the wizards with sense enough to leave, the safest way to leave Madrid was by traveling like muggles. On this day, the seventeenth of March, Voldemort promised that his forces would harm no muggle or wizard. For one day, he promised peace. But, as Bruno stated, "A filthy, scum sucking bastard, is always going to be a bastard." Maybe what Sonya said is better, "Can you ever trust a crazy man?"

The office was on edge. No one was working, but no one dared to go home. Lily, Bruno, and Ramirez sat outside of Federico's office waiting for news. Sonya had left hours ago to take Tanya out of school. In case they would have to leave Spain, she wanted to have Tanya with her, safe. Lily kept looking at the clock. Sonya was late getting back…….it shouldn't be taking this long. There was one more thing that scared Lily Dingbang Shing Wong had not come in today. She hoped he and his new wife had left Spain and were safe….but who knew?

Suddenly, a sound, a lot little gunshot, came from the street. When Lily jumped Bruno explained.

"There just celebrating sweetie."

"Who is?"

"The damn purebloods, finally there free of the 'filth'."

He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Lily was about to complain, but noticed Bruno's hand shaking. Ramirez was oddly quiet today. Instead of giving Lily disapproving looks, today her looks were of pity. Lily hated it more then before. This woman either thought Lily was as good as dead or thought she was going to run away. Neither at all were true! She looked briefly at her desk, with laid a letter from James. She couldn't open it and read his plies for her to come back to England. This was her chance to make a difference and she was ready to risk it!

The door flow open and Sonya raced in, carrying Tanya. She was crying slightly, and was out of breath. Bruno raced over and took Tanya in his arms.

"What happened Sonya?" Bruno asked, trying to calm both mother and daughter down.

"The Bastards!" screamed Sonya. "The Bastards!" She started telling Bruno and Lily her story. Most was not understandable through her tears, but mainly that a group of male pureblood in the street had surrounded her and Tanya. They had called her a whore and threatened to rape her. After awhile their victim was no longer Sonya but little Tanya. When one of the men reached down to touch Tanya's cheek Sonya pulled out her wand and cursed him. The other men chased her down the street.

Bruno was livid and passed little Tanya to Lily. He picked up his wand and with out a word headed out the door. He didn't hear Sonya telling him to stop.

"He'll kill himself ily…….and for me."

"Don't worry Sonya, Bruno knows what he's doing." She guided Sonya over to her desk and made her a cup of tea. She sat Tanya at Bruno's desk, where she started to draw. Tanya seemed unbothered by everything, but that was her way. Tanya was in her own little world, a world where people were decent. Sonya was deathly pale and seemed to be the opposite of her daughter. Lily wondered sometimes if Tanya would grow up to be her mother, a woman who seemed to have seen all the evils in the world. Maybe Sonya had once been like her daughter as well.

The door opened and closed again. Lily looked up, prepared to see Bruno smiling after hexing the scum of the earth, but saw a young blonde model, often featured of Witch Weekly, standing by the door. In was Cilla Blithe, Ding's wife. She, who most of the time was very tan and stylish, seemed washed out. Her makeup was running, and her knuckles were white from clutching her handbag. She saw Lily and ran to her.

"Where in Dingy? He didn't come home last night……it thought he might have been working late but he didn't come home for breakfast and that's just not like him!"

Lily sat Cilla down by Sonya, checked on Tanya, and then walked into Federico's office without knocking. He looked up at her from his desk, shocked that she had just walk on in.

"Can I help you Lily?"

"Yeah, you can! You can tell me all you know that you haven't told us yet!"

"Lily, I don't know anything at the moment. I have to wait for the ministry report just like the rest of you."

Lily took a seat on the chair in front of the desk and sighed.

"Sonya is crying, Bruno is off fighting the bad guys, Ding is missing……..and you're held up in here hiding."

Federico got to his feet and slowly walked over to Lily. He stood behind her chair and slowly started to rub her neck.

"I'm sorry Lily. I truly am, but I'm not good with this personal stuff. I try not to get involved with my workers lives." He laughed slightly, "That's your problem Lily, you always take things and people to heart…..what good do you think that does? Getting too close……"

As Federico's hands started to work their way lower, Lily shot out of her seat and raced out the door. Sonya and Cilla seemed to be crying on each other's shoulders and Tanya was still drawling at Bruno's desk. Lily snatched up James letter and went into the restroom. She sat down on the bathroom floor and opened her letter.

Dear Lily,

First off, I am not trying to control you! I don't think you truly understand what Spain is going to be like after it is taken over. Dumbledore is certain that the Spanish ministry is going to give in to Voldimort tonight and after Voldimort has the power there will be no way for you or anyone to leave Spain. I beg you for the hundredth time to come back to England now. Lily, my aunt was stuck in Russia the last time this occurred. Every night the death eaters took away muggleborns to be killed. Come back to England. Fight the resistance there, with me! Your always welcome at Potter Manor….you know that right?

The streets became louder, there were screams and then there were cheers. Lily forgot to read the rest of the letter and left the restroom to see what the matter was. Sonya, Tanya, Federico, Ramirez, and Cilla were gathered at the small window over looking the street. Lily slowly walked over and looked out the window. Down the streets marched thousands of death eaters. Men, clearly supporters, marched behind them cheering. The death eaters broke apart and headed towards doors. Lily was sure they were going to start rounding up and killing. When a knock could be heard coming from their door, Federico slowly walked towards the door and opened it. A death eater stepped inside and looked at the small group.

"The dark lord wishes for you to know that the Spanish ministry has given into his demands. Your government has fallen to the dark lord and now it's your turn. The Dark Lord is going to follow through with his promise, for he is a kind, giving lord, and not harm a Spaniard for the rest of the day. This gives you time to join his army, for those of you who renounce our lord, well, tomorrow is another day!"

He left swiftly and moved on to the next house. Cilla grabbed her coat and headed home. She seemed to already write herself off as a widow. Federico headed for his office, after telling everyone to return home. As Lily put on her coat he came back to the door.

"Lily, can I have a word?"

"No Sir, you can't!"

"Lily……….your a very attractive girl…."

"Leave me alone Federico!"

He walked closer to her, Lily could feel his breath on her face.

"In your situation, it would be useful to have a powerful friend….think about it! There's nothing to be ashamed of……it would be purely physical. Lily, what I'm trying to say is……I can get you got of here!"

"Honestly Federico, I'd kill myself before I did anything like that to save myself!"

"What about Sonya and Tanya? What wouldn't you do to save them? I'm a fair man Lily….I will.."

"Goodnight Federico!"

She quickly walked out of the building with Sonya and Tanya. There were now less people in the streets then before. The moment the death eaters started to march many raced home to hide or pack. Their government had forsaken them and put them into the arms of a crazy man.

When they reached their apartment Sonya pulled out a suitcase and started to quickly pack.

"Vhere vill ve go ily? Vhere vill ve be safe? Tanya go pack you things! ily you do the same!"

Lily went into her room only to find her suitcase already on her bed and half full. Her room was littered with clothing, almost like someone had been going through her things. In her wardrobe stood a man with messy black hair and glasses. He pointed to her suitcase with his wand and the clothing inside disappeared. He then put in another armful and repeated the spell that made it disappear. Lily stood at the door with her arms folded across her chest.

"What do you think your doing James?"

He stopped for a moment and looked up at her.

"I think it's clear what I'm doing here. I'm getting the woman I love out of a country that has recently come into the hands of a man who wants to kill people for no reason. Now, will you please tell your friend that she will be coming to France with us."

He went back to work, waving his wand around the room, packing Sonya's treasures as well.

"Why are we going to France James?"

:"Dumbledore has a little work for us to do there. Plus, I thought it would be a romantic place for a wedding."

Never in their relationship had James ever stood so strong on an issue, Most of the time he would give in to Lily, since it was easier then getting into a fight. Honestly, it kind of excited Lily! This is the reason that instead of walking next door to tell Sonya that James was taking them away to safety, She walked up to him and pushed him onto the bed.

A group of death eaters stood outside an apartment building, waiting. One checked his watch and smiled.

"One more minute till midnight boys!"

All over the underground death eaters looked at their watches and counted down the last minutes of peace. Inside people sleeped, some waited for the world to come crashing, but most didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

I know it is a very large leep from where I was. Expect a lot of flashbacks. We are in no way done with Spain, Federico, Bruno, and Ding! Feedback would be great and I'm sorry that some reader might have a problem with the 'B' word or with Lily and James having sex! Flame me if you want but it was going to happen at some point.
