A/N Enjoy :) Well I'm back from my holiday, I had a fantastic time, so I owe you all a chapter, hear it is I hope you all like it.
Chapter 19:
James awoke suddenly coughing and spluttering; he coughed out water that had settled inside of him, he turned to his side, gulping in big breaths of air. He clenched his fists tightly but as the air came into him he slowly loosened his grip. His breathing rate slowed down to normal pace, his eyes flickered open unfocused at first but then focused quickly as he got used to the dim light that was above him. James slowly got to his feet looking around. He found himself in a small room; it had one single light bulb hanging from the ceiling, a small pot in one corner and a stack of hay in another. There was a circular shaped carving on the wall. James eyed it suspiciously then walked over towards it he moved his hand over it and felt it was wet he then looked at the ground below it and saw that the stone floor was wet also.
"This must have been where the thing dragged me into," James thought out load as he surveyed it more carefully.
James then looked around and saw on the other side of the room was a door, he ran over to it and slammed his fists into it yelling also. But it was no use no one answered and his fists were hurting badly, his eyes suddenly widened with shock as he remembered Lily's face going under the water just before he did.
"LILY" yelled James as he continually hit the door once again.

Lily awoke, she sat up and found herself on a nice comfortable bed, she got up and looked around. She was in a small room it had pink drapes around the stone walls, a small pot was underneath the bed and there were steps that lead to a door. Lily ran up the stairs and banged on the door.
"Let me out," screamed Lily as she hit her fists furiously onto the door.
"Where's James?" screamed Lily, but it was no use there was no answer and the door did not open Lily slid down the door tears in her eyes, she fell to the floor in a crumpled heap, she kept hitting her fist onto the door, tears streaming down her face soundlessly as she tucked her knees underneath herself.
Lily heard a loud click come from the door she looked up and saw the door slowly open, Lily jumped to her feet getting ready to attack. Lily gasped as she saw a hooded figure enter the room.
"Where is James?" she screamed as she launched herself onto them, but before she got even close she was blasted back against the wall, she hit it and collapsed, Lily felt blood in her mouth. Lily lifted her head slowly to watch where the hooded figure was, but the hooded figure had taken off their hood and a boy took their place, a boy that was awfully familiar.

James had given up banging on the door as his fists were now bleeding from the sharp wood that had broken from the door and sliced into his hands. James paced around the room looking around for any kind of escape but there was none. He then went and laid on the hay, it was sharp and dry but it was the only source of comfort he could find (if you call that comfort). As James watched the door he heard faint footsteps, they were getting closer and louder. James sat up, his eyes fixed on the door.
CLICK
A loud click came from the door, James jumped to his feet, fists clenched. The door slammed open.
"Expelliarmus" yelled out a hooded figure.
James was hit right in the chest, he flew backwards and hit the wall, and fell to the ground, he looked up at the figure, which had come closer to him, James was getting ready to attack.
"Just a little closer," whispered James to himself.
"Just a little more"
The figure moved around to the side of James, James jumped to his feet and tackled the figure into the wall, he smashed the hand (which had the wand in it) hard into the wall, he repeated this until finally the wand bearer dropped it. James snatched it up kneed the person in the head then ran to the doorway. But as he looked around the hood on the person had come off, he was looking up at James with his black hair over his face.
"Snape?" quivered James as he looked at Sirius.
"Yeah it's me," sneered Snape who wiped his blooded nose on his sleeve. Also picking himself up off the ground.
James picked up the wand and raised it at Snape.
"What have you done with Lily?" asked James in a stern but clear voice.
"Oh, she is fine don't worry about her," sneered Snape as he walked closer to James.
"STAY BACK," yelled James as he pointed the wand at Snape's throat.
"She knows Potter, I told her everything, she knows what happened, and what you did," Snape whispered in James's ear as he ignored James's last request.
James eyes widened with horror.

"Severus" cried out Lily, who was in pain.
"What are you doing?" she asked as she held onto her side tightly.
"Careful Lily you don't want to hurt yourself more," replied Severus as he watched her with fascination.
"Why do you care, you blasted me into the bloody wall," cried out Lily as she stood up, her legs shaking.
"You were attacking me, I had to do something," replied Severus as he stood where he was not moving one inch to help.
"Where is James?" asked Lily as she stumbled towards Severus.
"James, is fine," spat Severus as his eyes suddenly hardened.
"Why did you bring us here?" asked Lily as she watched him.
"I didn't want Potter, but the Giant Squid brought him anyway, so I had no choice," muttered Severus as he started circling Lily.
"Where are we?" asked Lily as she watched him.
"We are in a castle, deep down, underneath the lake, no one knows about it and no one will ever no about it," sneered Severus as he circled around Lily like a vulture circling its prey.
Shivers went up Lily's spine as she watched Severus circling her
"It was used as a hideout thousands of years back; for the ancient wizards of Hogwarts, Godric Griddindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. They built this for protection against the others, that lured around to harm them". Snape smiled.
"My Lily, I thought you would have taken much more notice on whose room you are currently in," mocked Snape as he stared at her.
As Severus said this Lily looked around the room, realizing only then that the room she was in none other then the chamber of Helga Hufflepuff.
"She really did fancy all this colour," explained Snape as he stopped moving around Lily and looked up at the coloured walls and curtains.
Lily looked back at Severus staring at his sneer that formed on his crooked face.
"Who are the others?" asked Lily as curiosity got the better of her.
Severus's face darkened, his sneer becoming more crooked as he thought on how to put such a complicated answer into an easy one.
"The others Lily, are the ones who hated wizards, they were muggles which searched far and wide to kill wizards," explained Severus as he continued his circulation around Lily.
"But how could they find wizards, when they can't find us today?" asked Lily as she looked up confused.
"Our powers weren't as strong back then, they had technology that we had no way of destroying, technology that searched out wizards and killed them"
"It was this technology that nearly brought extinction on us, this technology nearly KILLED US!" yelled Snape as he clenched his fists.
"They hunted us down like dogs, slaying us just because we are different," spat Severus.
"But that was long ago, you brought me here just to tell me that?" asked Lily anger flaring in her eyes.
"No," Severus smiled.
"You should know the truth Lily, he has been lying to you from the start," Snape sneered.
"Who has?" asked Lily as she looked at Severus bewildered.
"Potter" spat Severus.
"What he has done to you should not be forgiven by any," Snape whispered in her ear.
"What are you talking about?" asked Lily as fear came into her voice for Snape was acting very strange.
"He killed them Lily," Snape replied in a stern voice.
"Killed who?" asked Lily as her voice shook.
"Your parents."
