Chapter 13

They sat talking for a while, telling stories, "Well, I was-," Sirius was cut off by a deafening scream. Mrs. Potter's scream.

"Mum," James muttered, running out of the room. Lily changed into some of James's clothes as fast as she could and she and Sirius followed James. Left, right, downstairs, left, down, another left, right, pass the library, through the hall and into the kitchen. Spells were being shot everywhere. Death Eaters swarming everywhere. Screams.

Everywhere.

Sirius and Lily took out their wands and got ready to fight. A tall, fat death eater engaged Sirius into a duel leaving Lily alone.

"Well hello there. Aren't you a pretty little thing…"Growled a male Death Eater. Lily turned around to face him. She raised her wand, not showing her fear.

"Gonna fight me beautiful?"

Lily just starred him down with loathing. Her eyes narrowed when he said 'beautiful'.

He advanced on her, and Lily didn't take crap from anyone.

"Get the hell away from me…" she growled angrily.

"Nahh, I'm gonna have some fun." The Death Eater shot different jinxes and hexes, at her while she dodged them. "Come on pretty. Dance for me."

Okay. This Death eater was pissing her off. She yelled in frustration and said with her wand pointed,

"STUPEFY!" It hit her target and he fell down with a 'thud'. "Where is James?" she asked herself and ran looking for him, dodging jets of light as she went.

When she found him, he was dueling the wizard responsible for all the innocent deaths. Him.

"Voldemort." She hissed dangerously.

"So Potter, you've been doing good so far," Voldemort hissed like a snake. "But that is only because you have something to live for am I correct?"

Lily admired that Voldemort's words seemed not to affect James. He kept fighting. "How is your family doing Potter? Missing your dear Grandparents, the fools that they were. Thinking they could-,"

"Shut up! You think you're so great and powerful when Albus Dumbledore is ten times stronger then you are. You're nothing but a less then average Wizard."

Voldemort's red eyes lit up in anger and hate, "You need to be put in your place Potter. Crucio!" James was caught off guard and was hit in the chest. He fell to the floor, yelling and screaming in agony. The curse was lifted and James knew he couldn't give Voldemort the satisfaction of knowing he hurt James so he jumped back up. Lily hadn't noticed; Voldemort looked worn out and James had a gash on his face and he was pale, like he had lost a lot of blood.

"This won't do at all Potter, shall we go again? CRUCIO" Voldemort screeched.

"NO!" Lily screamed running in front so it hit her instead.

"Lily? LILY STOP!" But he was too late, he watched in horror as Lily fell to the floor.

She felt like a thousand knives were stabbing all over her body, repeatedly. She couldn't hold on, she wasn't strong like James. Everything became blurry as Lily slipped into darkness.

James saw Lily pass out and ran to her when Voldemort yelled, "We've done enough for now. We will return." And with several cracks, the Death Eaters, and Voldemort, dissaparated, leaving the Dark Mark on top of the Potter Manor.
