A/N OKay, for all you pansies who for some reason are reading this but not the Harry Potter series, I'd like to tell you that the Dark Mark is something Voldemort puts above the place where he has committed a murder, and the Death Eaters are his followers. This is mostly just a cliffhanger chapter so please do not mind the shortness of it. TTFN; ta ta for now! ≈Kayla

James' kiss became more and more passionate by the second dowrning Lily in a sea of emotions, and she surprised him by kissing him back. When they finally broke apart, both were happy and content.

"So, how was that?" James asked, a smirk plastered on a face. Lily slapped him playfully.

"I don't know, maybe another kiss would help me to decide," she hinted, and james kissed her again.

"Aha! Perfect!" Lily laughed when they pulled apart again. James chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders casually.

"Does that mean you'll go out with me?" James asked her hopefully. Lily smiled and nodded, earning her all oud "whoop!" from James. They walked together in comforatable silence for a long while, planning to shock the rest of their friends when the reached Hogsmeade. But when they finally caught sight of the tiny town, Lily gasped and stumbled backwards.

"No!" she whispered. James stiffened as well as he followed her gaze to the menacing shape hanging above Hogsmeade grounds. There, lingering in the sky, was Voldemort's mark, the Dark Mark. It was a dark green skull with a snake protruding from it's mouth.

"Lily, stay close by, and if i tell you to run, you need to run," James commanded, completley in control now. Lily nodded meakley and clutched James' arm tightly for support.

"We have to find the others," she whispered fearfully. James silently showed his agreement as he pulled out his wand and surveyed the scene that met their eyes.

Windows were smashed, doors off from their hinges. An eerie glow made the place look like it had an almost red tinge to it, making Lily all the more frightened. They walked carefully over junk and rubbish, Lily crying over the dead bodies lying aimlessly on the street. James glared over everything in complete hate.

"Voldemort and his death eaters, I hate them!" he spat out, his body trembling in anger. Just as they were turning a corner, they saw their friends from a distance crouching over a dark figure on the ground. As they drew nearer, Lily gasped and James stiffened. The figure that their friends was crouching over was known other than Sirius Black. Hie eyes were closed, his lips purple, wand in hand. Remus was sitting miserably by Sirius' side, and Kayla was sitting nearby, her eyes wide from shock. She just at there, muttering,

"He's dead, he's dead!"

James and Lily realized with a jolt why Sirius Black wasn't moving. He was dead.

A/N People, please, don't kill me. Sirius will be okay, trust me, just wait until the next chapter. Read on...and review (nice reviews would be good). TTFN- Ta ta for now, Kayla.
