As Serenity tore from the dance with Lucius hot on her heels, she realized she'd dropped her wand somewhere behind her. Not looking back she ran faster suddenly glad for all the Japanese defense classes her parents had put her through even if she despised them. She didn't see how far she'd been running, or how long because as she collapsed to the ground she saw she was on the farthest bank of the lake and that Lucius was no longer behind her. She tried to sit up but fell back onto the grass. Her dress was already soaked through from the dew on the grass.
Suddenly jerked awake by a sound near her, she realized she was alone in the dark near the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hogwarts was dark which meant everyone was asleep. There was another crunch from behind her and she was suddenly grabbed by the elbow, she started to scream but no sound came out. She raised her fist to strike but she couldn't because the person was tying her hands. She tried to scream but the person put a piece of cloth over her month. She realized she was bound and gagged and there was no one there to rescue her.

Lucius had been following Serenity for 10 minutes but he began to tire and he stopped before heading back to the castle. She would probably like to be alone anyway. He walked back into the school and those annoying friends of hers came up with worried expressions.
Lily stepped forward first, "Where is she? What have you done with her?"
With her hands on her hip she looked rather terrifying at the moment but Lucius could really care less.
"My dear, I have done nothing to her. She just wishes to be alone with her thoughts and that's exactly where I left her.," he said lazily waving it off as if it was nothing.
"Where?" Lily said, "is completely different from what and why. So tell me."
'Merlin this girl is annoying,' Lucius thought, then said, "I said she wished to be alone, which means that she does not want anyone to disturb her and I am not likely to tell you."
Lily turned and walked over to James who was waiting at the top of the Marble Staircase where she had left him when she saw Malfoy walk into the Entrance Hall. They had just been on their way to fulfill Lily's part of the deal she made with James.

Lily yawned and pulled the covers over her head, she didn't want the sun to come up. She thought back to the night before and how she and James had snuck into the Tower at three am. James had shown her this amazing room that he called the Room of Requirement. Lily didn't know if it was the room's real name or if it was just the Marauder's name for it. James had wanted her to stay the night in the Room of Requirement but she refused because she didn't want to deal with her friends when they found out that she spent the whole night with him and alone for that matter in a room that gave them anything that they wanted. She peaked out from under the covers to look at Serenity's bed which was surprisingly empty. Scared she jumped from the bed and shook awake the other two girls and began throwing clothes at them to put on.
"Lily, what wrong? Where's the fire?" Rose asked groggily, a pair of pants landing on her head.
"Rose you know just as well as I that this school cannot catch on fire as it has way too many protective spells on it," Lily said.
Molly rolled her eyes, "But why are you getting us up at SEVEN THIRTY!" Molly screamed angrily.
"Because," Lily was now pacing back and forth a hint of hysteria in her voice, "Serenity hasn't come back her bed is made. She never makes her bed!" Lily was in Hysterics now, "and no House Elf comes up this early on a weekend to make beds."
Rose and Molly had gotten there clothes on so fast you would think there actually was a fire.
They grabbed Lily and pulled her down the stairs and into the Common Room and back up the other set of stairs and without knocking they barged into the boy's dorms. Lily jumped into James bed and he woke up with a start, "I knew you wanted me Lily but don't you think this can wait till later?" he said with that cocky Marauder smirk that he and Sirius were famous for in place and sounding every bit the pompous git that he was. Sirius hooted and then rolled back over and slammed his pillow over his ears.
"Serenity's gone missing!" Lily cried.
"WHAT?" Sirius screamed jumped from his bed and started going through the piles of clothes on the floor beside his bed.
"No Black, you're not coming," Rose yelled still angry at him for his betrayal of Serenity.
All the occupants of the dorm, that's the ones that lived there, stared at Rose. They had never heard her yell.
"Get ready you're not helping anyone just standing there," she said.
Molly leaned over to Lily and said, "She sure does take control when she's mad."
"Yeah, I kinda just lose it."
"Yeah you jumped into Potter's bed."
"You saw that?"
"Everyone saw it. Sirius' eyes just about popped out of his head."
Remus and James were getting ready and Peter was still curled up under the covers and nobody bothered to wake him. They couldn't believe thought that he had been able to sleep through everything. 15 minutes later the 5 were downstairs in the dungeons searching for a Slytherin to tell them where Lucius was. Though he was not trusted they might need his help looking for her. Soon they came upon a 5th year boy who glared at them.
"Where's Lucius?" Molly asked standing up to the boy.
He glared and said nothing. The boy was pushed up against the wall by the collar of his robes and what was surprising was that it was not James, Lily or even Molly. It was Remus, an odd fire burned in his eyes as he held the boy there growling, "Tell us where he is. Serenity is missing and we need his help, NOW."
The boy looking as if he was about to piss his pants nodded to a brick wall.
Finally after awhile the boy finally agreed to tell Lucius that they needed to speak with him. Although he didn't do it willingly. Lucius came out of the wall which Lily guessed was like the wall to Platform 9 ¾. Lucius glared at them and then, "What do you want?" he said in a aristocratic and snobbish voice.
"Serenity has gone missing," Rose said getting straight to the point.
"WHAT?" Lucius yelled having almost the same reaction as Sirius, but no one dared tell him this.

Serenity woke up slowly a dull throbbing in the back of her head. She was no longer gagged but was forced into a upright position her hands cuffed above her head.
"Who are you?" she demanded to the guard outside her cell. He did not respond so Serenity deciding she may as well have some fun. She pointed one finger at the Death Eater's behind and fire shot out hitting him and his robes caught on fire. She laughed and did it to him again this time he yelped as his cloak went into flames around him and he screamed in agony.
"Well that's one down at least 500 more to go," she whispered to her self with a small laugh.

a/n Sorry for the long wait I've had writers block and I've had this chapter that Black Roses sent to me but I had no motivations to proof it and add to it. So I'm apologizing. Please don't haul out the pitch forks. Any ideas would be welcomed and Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ski000Girl
