a/n Okay we had a reviewer ask for pranks. This chapter is going to be serious (no pun intended) and possibly the next one but then after that we assure you that you will get your pranks. Only problem is, we have trouble coming up with pranks, so if you have any ideas please send them in your reviews. Thank you so much.

This chapter has a description of a rape towards the end so just be prepared. That's why the rating was bumped up.

Everybody was on the lookout for Serenity, but she didn't turn up all day. Everyone was really worried by dinner time. They all knew what was happening in the world at this time.

"We need to do something," Molly said.

"We know she's not in the grounds so where else could she be?" Rose asked.

"Dumbledore had the forest checked," Remus said.

Lily didn't say anything, just stared off with a glazed look in her eyes. Molly, Rose, Lily and Serenity had all been good friends since first year but Lily and Serenity had been especially close. James noticed how distant Lily looked so he stood up and walked over and sat down beside her. He put his arm around her and pulled her close, "We'll find her," he whispered in her ear.

"What?" she said coming out of her daze, "Sorry I didn't hear you."

"I said we'll find her."

"Hey where's Peter?" Sirius asked, "I haven't seen him since this morning."

A chorus of, "Haven't seen him," rang out.

"There he is," Remus said as he spotted Peter running over to Gryffindor Table.

"What's the rush Pete?" Remus asked.

"Where have you been Wormtail?" Sirius asked.

"IthinkIknowwheresheis," he said out of breath.

"What was that Wormtail, slow down?" James said.

"I think I know where she is," he repeated.

"You know where Serenity is?" Lily said jumping out of her seat, "Where is she, how do you know?"

"I was walking down here to meet you guys and I walked by an empty classroom, or what I thought was an empty classroom. So I heard some people talking in there, they were Slytherins and they were saying stuff like..."

"Where is she Pettigrew?" Lily snarled.

Peter told them.

"We have to go tell Dumbledore," Rose said as she too jumped out of her seat. She sent her plate flying and steak and kidney pie went flying everywhere, but she didn't even notice.

Everyone jumped out of their seats and raced up to the front of the Great Hall. They skidded to a halt just before they hit the Teacher's Table. Well everyone did except for Sirius who instead went flying right into the table, looking just like a dog on a wet tile floor.

"Nice Pad," James said.

"Shut it Prongsie. I'll have you know that, that was a very hard fall to do. I would bet anything that you would not be able to even figure it out let alone do it."

"Hello aren't we supposed to be talking to Dumbledore?" Molly said.

Dumbledore who was watching everything unfold not 3 feet in front of him chuckled.

"Professor," Remus said, "Peter heard some people talking and from what they said he thinks he knows where Serenity is."

"And where would that be Mr. Pettigrew?" Dumbledore asked.

Peter told him.

"Thank you, I will notify the ministry and a team of Aurors will be sent immediately."

"But Professor," everyone moaned.

"No buts, you are to stay here and not step a foot out of the grounds, you may go know."

Everyone turned and walked down the aisle between two tables to the exit of the Great Hall. Once out in the Entrance Hall Lily cried, "We can't just stand here while, who knows what happens to her."

"I agree," Molly said.

"There is no way I'm staying here," Sirius said.

And so it was decided. James and Sirius ran upstairs to get the invisibility cloak and everyone else went up to their dorms to get warm clothes.

10 minutes later everyone was standing in the Entrance Hall.

"Ready?" James asked.

"Yes," everyone replied.

"Okay let's go."

They walked out of the doors and across the grounds. They walked over to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and that's where they made a portkey. Everyone put a hand to the portkey and seconds later they had arrived.

"Where are we?" Rose asked.

Everyone looked up at a castle that was perched on a rock.

"Well it's an island," Remus said.

"Yeah but this can't be it, look at it, theirs muggle ships all around here."

"This is the right place," Lily said.

"How do you know?" everyone questioned.

"I just do."

"Lily we can't go in on just a gut feeling," Molly said.

"It is, I know it is because ships disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. It makes perfect sense. Muggles say that all of their tracking devices go haywire, and that would be the protective wards that he put up. And I'll bet anything that those are all the ships that disappeared," she said waving her hand at the ships, "He probably captured them and brought them to his prison and because of the wards, the ships just disappeared off the map."

"Let's go," Sirius said.

"Wait," Remus said, "We need a plan."

"This is good enough for me," Sirius said as he flung James' Invisibility Cloak over him.

"Sirius," James hissed.

"What?" Sirius said from over to everyone's left, "Come on we have to go."

"It doesn't look like many guards are around, or any for that matter," Rose whispered.

"Come on let's go," Lily said, "Wait up Sirius I'm coming with you."

"Glad to here it Evans. Come on. Unlike these scaredy cats who won't go rescue a friend."

That got everyone moving, "Hey I'm no scaredy cat," James said.

"Well than get moving," Sirius said.

And so everyone made their way up to the entrance of the castle prison. Once inside they saw that there were no guards to be seen. They split up and all went different ways. Sirius and Lily went one way, Remus and Rose went the other way and James, Molly and Peter went up the stairs.

"Why aren't there any guards?" Remus asked Rose quietly.

"It's strange, really strange," Rose commented.

Just then they heard footsteps behind them, "Run Remus hissed."

Rose didn't need telling twice, she took off down the hall. The hall forked and she took a left and kept running thinking Remus was right behind her. She stopped when she didn't here footsteps behind her but realized Remus was gone also, "Remus?" she called out softly.

"Rose?" somebody said but it most definitely wasn't Remus, then a bit louder, "Rose, is that you?"

"Serenity?" Rose cried, "Just wait I'm coming. Where are you?"

"Over here Rose?" she cried.

Rose rounded the last corner and saw a bank of cells, and laying on the ground about 10 Death Eaters.

"Oh my god," she breathed, "What happened."

"Wandless magic, great thing you know," Serenity said, "Oh Rose I'm so glad you're here."

"So am I. But if you can do wandless why couldn't you free yourself?" Rose questioned.

"They used a damn muggle key," she said angrily.

"You could have summoned it," Rose said.

"Oh believe my, I tried many times. I think they put a spell on it so you couldn't do that. I think you have to physically pick it up."

"Where is it?" Rose asked.

"Over there," Serenity pointed at the wall.

Rose ran over and picked up the key and ran back over and unlocked Serenity's cell.

"Oh thanks you, thank you," she gushed.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Rose said as her and Serenity hugged, "Ah, are there anymore Death Eaters?"

"No, I took the last one out," she then went quiet, "But only after he…never mind, let's just get out of here. Who else is here?'

"The whole group," Rose said. They ran through the castle which turned out to be not the big. They walked out the front doors as a group just as the Aurors arrived.

"A bit late," Sirius said.

"Hey it's Mad Eye," Jame said.

"Who?" Lily asked.

"He's the best Auror around," Sirius said.

Mad Eye walked up to them and said, "Well I guess you don't listen to orders that well then. Never mind that though, ever think of becoming Aurors after Hogwarts?" he asked

"Yes," a chorus rang out.

"Good we need lots of good Aurors right now."

"You might want to go inside. I think you'll see about 10 Death Eaters tied up and knocked out," Serenity said.

"Okay. Well we better get you folks back to Hogwarts," Mad Eye said.

James pulled out his wand and made another portkey.

"I didn't see that," Mad Eye said.

"What?" James asked.

"I told you I did not just see you do underage magic."

"Oh, oops," James said.

"Don't worry, I never saw anything."

"Thanks."

"I trust you can get back okay, and go report to Dumbledore immediately."

"Yes sir," James said.

Everyone put their hands on the portkey and within seconds they were outside Dumbledore's office.

Sirius knocked on the door and Dumbledore said, "Come in."

Once everyone had sat down Dumbledore said, "You ignored a direct order from me, what do you have to say for yourselves," but he said it with a twinkle in his eye which the Marauder's noticed.

"Well you see Professor…" Sirius started.

"We were minding our own business when…" James continued.

"This unbelievable thing happened…"

"A portkey fell from the sky…"

"We had no other option but to protect our heads from it…"

"And so that's when it carried us to the prison."

"No wonder they get so many detentions," Molly whispered to Lily.

"Yeah with a story like that."

"Okay well then if that was what honestly happened, then you may go," Dumbledore said, "It was what happened wasn't it Mr. Lupin."

Remus might not have liked some of the pranks Sirius and James pulled but he always would back them up…well maybe not always. "Yes it's exactly how it happened."

"Very well, you may go. I'd like to speak to Serenity please."

Everyone go up and walked back to their dorms. They all assembled in the boys dorm since the boys could not go up into the girls dorm.

30 minutes later Serenity walked in and Peter stood up, "I'm going to get some food, anybody want anything since we had no dinner?"

"Sure bring me up something," everyone said.

"Want some help?" Sirius asked.

"No I'm fine," Peter said.

"Well take the cloak and the map," James said and he tossed the two things to Peter.

"Thanks, be back soon."

He walked out the door and out of Gryffindor Tower and down into the dungeons.

"What happened?" somebody asked him.

"She's back."

"How many did she take out?"

"10."

"10? Oh boy this is worse than I thought. I thought maybe 2 or 3. That's why we had to get her out of there. She was taking to many of ours out."

"I understand."

"What did you tell?'

"I said that I overhead some Slytherins talking in and empty classroom."

"Good, good. You did well Pettigrew. The Dark Lord will reward you. We couldn't have sent anymore men in. She would have taken them out also."

"I understand…Malfoy."

Peter turned and walked towards the kitchens to get the food. And then he headed back to Gryffindor Tower.

The sun was coming up before everyone went to bed. The girls made their way slowly to their dorm and almost instantly Rose and Molly we asleep. Lily walked over to make sure they were actually asleep and then she turned and faced Serenity, "Okay spill."

"What?"

"You're not saying everything. Something's bothering you. I can tell."

"Fine."

"So there was something else?"

"Yes," Serenity sighed.

"What happened, what did they do to you?" Lily asked as she sat down beside Serenity on the bed, "It's okay you can tell me," she whispered when she saw Serenity's hesitation.

"Lily…he raped me."

"Oh my God," she said, "Did you tell Dumbledore?"

"I couldn't."

"Serenity you have to."

"No I don't."

"Fine we'll talk about that later. So are you okay? What happened, if you don't mind me asking?"

"No it's okay, I need to tell somebody. So I had all the Death Eaters roped up but then this one more came. He barged into my cell and pushed me against the little stone bench…"

"Go on."

"So he pushed me down on the bench and yanked my dress up…Lily he stuck his fist inside me."

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Serenity," she said as she gave Serenity a hug.

"So then he made me put his thing in my mouth, oh god Lily it was awful. He shoved it right down my throat. I almost puked, but when he felt me gag he only pushed it farther," now that she was talking she couldn't stop.

"Did he do anything else?" Lily asked hesitantly.

"Yes."

"That bastard," she exclaimed.

"You're telling me."

"So what happened then?"

"He finished it off. He put himself in me and…well finally he pulled himself out after he screamed in pleasure. Lily I was so scared. He was so rough and…"

"Did he hurt you?"

Serenity didn't say anything.

"Serenity, did he hurt you?"

"Yes, she mumbled."

"Serenity what happened?"

"After he left I had no strength to use wandless magic. I vowed that the next time he came by I would get him, but he did it again."

"Again?" Lily asked appalled.

"3 times," she whispered.

"Did he hurt you?" Lily asked again.

"Yes, every time after he left I wouldn't stop bleeding for quiet awhile."

"Come on," Lily said standing up.

"No I'm not going to tell anybody Lily."

"Fine, but you're going to go to the hospital wing and Pomfrey's going to check you out."

"But she'll ask me what happened."

"Of course she will, that's her job. But you don't have to tell her the truth. You can tell her your boyfriend and you were having some fun when you got back and it got out of hand. I don't care. You make it up. You never seem to have trouble coming up with cover stories for yourself."

"Fine."

They made their way up to the hospital wing. Once inside the door Madame Pomfrey ushered Serenity over to a bed. She then tried to push Lily out of the room but Lily wouldn't budge, not that Serenity would let her leave either. Madame Pomfrey listened to Serenity's story about her boyfriend and her having some fun that got a bit rough and how she wouldn't stop bleeding. She then made Serenity get into a gown and then she checked her out.

"Ah, here it is," Pomfrey said, "A little tear. Good thing you came in or if you agitated it, it could have gotten worse," she said a spell and then said, "Okay you're all better. Just be careful next time," she waved her wand over Serenity doing some tests.

"What are you doing?" Serenity asked.

"Making sure you're not pregnant."

"I can't be, can I?" Serenity asked nervously.

"For you and me I hope not."

Finally she sent Serenity and Lily on their way. As they were making their way out of the hospital wing the girls heard Madame Pomfrey mutter, "These kids should sure use some sex ed."

"Why didn't she say that I wasn't Lily?" Serenity asked as they made their way back to their dorm.

"What?"

"If I was or wasn't pregnant."

"I don't know."

"I couldn't be could I?"

"I don't know Serenity."

"Did you hear what she said as we were leaving?"

"Yup," Lily said through her laughter.

"Thanks Lily."

"That's what friends are for."
