Chapter 15
To the world you're just one person but to just one person you might be the world…
Escape. Escape was the first thing on Lily Evans' mind. After all, she couldn't live her life here in this cell now could she?
No. She had to get out, and fast. Voldemort was expecting her answer soon, either James or her family and she still had no idea which she was going to choose.
How could she choose between them?
How could life be so cruel?
How could she make a decision, between the guy she was in love with and the family that has fallen apart?
If she still hated James she would definitely choose her family- wouldn't she?
But now that she knew James she didn't know what to do, except hope. Hope that she would be rescued; hope that she wouldn't have to choose. And hope that Voldemort would change his mind and set her free, and she couldn't see that happening.
She sighed, pushing the loose strand of hair back behind her ear. She had to get out of here; this was no place for her. She belonged at Hogwarts, at her home, but not here.

James glanced at Dumbledore and waited for the signal. Sirius stood five meters behind him, Remus was five meters in front of him, Emm was five meters to his right and Becky was five meters to his left. Dumbledore was in front of Remus by five meters.
They stood there, waiting, watching and suddenly Dumbledore raised his wand and shot red sparks up into the air.
"That's the first signal. All of you think of Malfoy Manor"
And they did, James' mind on the three D's, destination, determination, deliberation.
Destination
Determination
Deliberation
"Apparate!" Dumbledore said sharply as green sparks shot up this time and at the same time, they all turned left and thought of Malfoy Manor.
Immediately James was engulfed by the familiar sensation- being sucked into a tight, tight tube and afraid that he wouldn't make it out. He was choking, he needed air and just as he was about to give up, just as he thought he'd breathed his last breath, cold cool air flushed through his body, no longer in that tight rubber tube. He was standing in front of a Manor. A big Manor.
Malfoy Manor.
He looked sideways at Dumbledore who was frowning and beckoned them closer to him.
They obliged and they were standing around him, him being in the center.
"I have a strong suspicion that these gates are sealed, sealed so we won't be able to get in"
He let that sink in for a moment before Sirius said; "We'd need the Dark Mark wouldn't we Professor?"
His voice was full of disgust, loathing and anger. It was common knowledge that Sirius hated anything to do with dark magic, Voldemort and Death Eaters.
"I believe that this is the case. However, I could simply try to find a way in. Please step back" his voice was calm and cool, as if he thought he was on a splendid day trip and found this as a mere challenge.
And he did some of the most impressive, marvelous, admiring magic James Potter had ever seen in his life.
After all, Dumbledore is the greatest wizard to ever exist in known history.

"I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea, I wanna lay like this forever, until the sky falls down on me" Lily whispered these words over and over again in a low voice. These were the words that were stuck in her mind, all thanks to Emm. Emm was the one who got her listening to that song. Emm was the one who said them over and over again to herself. Emm was the one who first heard this song, and when she did she rang Lily up in the summer before sixth year and told her to turn on the radio. And she did, and found a song that she was in love with.
Lily was bored, waiting for help was stupid- no one was coming, she'd have to figure her own way out of this…
-Flashback-
First years everywhere hurried onto the platform as they got their first glimpse at Hogsmead Station. Lily Evans looked around nervously and gave a jolt of surprise- there was the largest man she had ever seen. There he was, so much higher then her and was waving towards the train saying; "first years over ere'! First years ter me!"
Lily shakily made her way over, feeling frightened. Never had she seen a man that was taller then the ceiling in her bedroom.
"Ello. What's you're name?" he asked, giving her a gentle smile that was obvious, yet hidden from view by his big bushy black beard. His beetle black eyes gazed into her emerald green ones and she felt a surge of protection, of caring and gentleness.
"I'm Lily Evans. Who are you?" her voice wasn't as nervous as it would have been hadn't he looked so gentle yet scary at the same time.
He cracked a wide grin. "Hagrid. Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper o' keys an' grounds at Hogwarts"
And she smiled back. "Nice to meet you Hagrid"
And just like that, they had formed a friendship.
"Hey Hagrid!" called out a voice behind her that startled her.
She turned around and saw a boy with jet black messy hair and hazel eyes, brown with flecks of green. They gazed into each other's eyes for the longest time when suddenly a boy with shoulder length black hair came up and thumped the other boy on the back.
'C'mon mate, we better get down to the boats" he said and noticed Lily.
He gave her a warm smile. "Hi, I'm Sirius, Sirius Black"
Lily smiled nervously. "I'm Lily, Lily Evans"
And Sirius smiled even wider. Here was a person; here was a person that didn't flinch at the sound of his last name. Here was a person that was obviously Muggleborn. And he didn't care.
"This is my best mate James Potter. Don't mind him, he's a bit odd"
The boy named James punched Sirius on the shoulder and Sirius just grinned.
"I'm not odd you bum" he replied childishly.
Just then a sandy haired boy accidentally knocked into Lily and she turned around.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going" he said smiling at her as she picked up his book that he'd dropped.
"Much Ado About Nothing?" she asked smiling as she handed it back to him.
He blushed. "I like to read Shakespeare"
Lily positively beamed. "Me too!"
Just then all of the first years were hurried to the boats and Lily was put into one with two girls, one with black hair and reminded her of the boy named James and another with strawberry blonde hair and had a shy nervous smile. The boys got into another one and Hagrid was at the front, he got to have his own boat.
"Hi, I'm Becky" The girl with black hair said sitting down beside Lily as the boats lurched forward at Hagrid's command.
"Rebecca Taylor. Becky for short"
Lily smiled and nodded.
"This is Emmaline Vance, but she prefers to be called Emm"
Lily glanced at the other girl who gave her another shy grin.
"I'm Lily Evans, but I don't have a shorter name"
The other two laughed and Lily felt, for the first time, relaxed and not as nervous as she was before on the train.
"Hey Becks! Hanging out with the girls now ey?" Sirius called across from his boat which was next to theirs and he was sharing with James, the boy who dropped his book and another little boy who was short and plump, very plump.
Becky gave Sirius the finger. "Get screwed Black!" her voice was bitter and angry.
"Such tenderness and love, on this the day we go to Hogwarts" James said smirking. Lily's stomach did a flip-flop. She had never seen another guy smile like that…
James caught Lily's eye and blushed, and looked at the other boy with sandy coloured hair.
"What's you're name?" James asked.
"Remus, Remus Lupin"
"Nice to meet you Remus. I'm James Potter and this is Sirius Black" he said pointing at his companion who was yelling insults at Becky, who was firing them back.
"I'm Peter Pettigrew" the shortest one said eagerly. The two boys looked at him and nodded.
"Charmed" James said but Lily caught a bit of sarcasticness, but Peter who seemed pleased with himself did not.
"Snot rag" Becky said glaring.
"Girly girl!" Sirius shot back and Becky's eyes narrowed.
"Conceited jerk!"
"Girl slash boy"
"Ispididious"
"Sirius Black lover"
"I do NOT love you!" she shrieked and Sirius smiled.
"You say that love, but you don't mean it"
Just then James stood up and Remus frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Going to join the girls" James replied and leaped across to the other boat without warning and the three girls all screamed in terror.
James landed on top of Lily with a soft 'oompfh' and his legs hung over the side. They stared into each other's eyes when suddenly-
James pushed Lily out of the boat and into the water and she went under, and came back up breathing sharply. It felt as if a thousand knives had dug into every inch of her body and her teeth began chattering as James leaped back into the other boat.
"Oh god, I am so, so sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" James asked in a falsely sweet voice. Becky and Emm pulled Lily back into their boat as Hagrid turned around yelled; "Oi! What's goin on down there?"
"Nothing Hagrid!" Sirius called back and James gave Lily a cocky grin as her teeth chattered.
"Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to fall in-"
"I d-d-didn't f-fall in… y-you p-pushed me i-in" Lily replied, her teeth chattering madly.
"Oh yeah. Listen I'm really sorry. Truce?" he asked holding out his hand.
Lily reached out slowly and took hold of his hand softly and removed her hand straight away. She'd been shocked, a bolt of electricity went up her arm and James and Sirius roared with laughter while Becky and Emm glared at them and helped Lily become warmer. Remus didn't laugh, on the contrary he said; "Guys… leave her alone" James and Sirius ignored him and continued laughing.
Emm glanced at Remus, who looked back at her. And for the first time that day, she gave him a genuine non nervous smile, and he returned it.
Lily glared at the other two boys… they would pay.
(At the Gryffindor table later that night)
"Hey Lily, I'm sorry. Truce?" James asked looking at her as she picked up a hot chip and ate it. When she swallowed she looked at him, hatred in her eyes.
"No, you're not sorry and I don't want a truce so why don't you go away and plan another childish prank?"
James immediately looked surprised. And hurt. And angry.
"Fine. I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Evans"
"Whatever Potter" Lily replied and from that night on, that was when the angerness, the bitterness, and the greatest love/hate story began.
-End of flashback-
-
"Aha!"
"Professor?" Remus asked confusedly. "Did you find a way?"
Dumbledore turned around to look at them and they saw that he was beaming.
"Oh yes I found a way" he said happily.
"What is it?" Becky asked.
"We have to dance. Dance to the song; "I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow"
Remus, Sirius, James and Becky all raised their eyebrows. Emm however, had a looked of understanding.
"I don't get it" Sirius and James said simultaneously.
Dumbledore glanced at Emm. "Will you sing while I dance?"
Emm nodded and began to sing while the other three looked on in disgust. They all sniggered as Dumbledore began to dance.
"When all the cows were sleeping,
And the sun had gone to bed,
up jumped the scarecrow
And this is what he said.
I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow
With a flippy floppy hat!
I can shake my arms like this,
I can shake my legs like that!
When all the hens were rousting
And the moon went behind a cloud,
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud.
I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow
With a flippy floppy hat!
I can shake my arms like this,
I can shake my legs like that!"
When Emm finished the song, Dumbledore calmly walked over to the gates, and passed through as if it was thin air and it wasn't there.
Sirius, Remus, Becky and James all glanced at each other and sighed. If this was to save Lily, then they'd do it.
"I hope no ones watching" Becky muttered as Emm began to sing and dance and they copied her moves. As soon as they finished they walked over to the gates really fast and crossed through. Emm followed them smirking.
"Right, excellent. Now Remus you know what you have to do?" Dumbledore asked as he passed Remus the things he would need.
"I cannot believe you're going to do what you're going to do" Sirius said his voice full of disgust, and bitterness. He glared at the things in Remus' hands.
"I'll do what I have to, for Lily" he replied.
Sirius nodded. "True, very true"
"Right, now go quickly and don't get caught" Dumbledore said loudly.
"The whole point of not getting caught is being quiet so you don't get caught" James said and Sirius sniggered.
Remus nodded and before he left, Emm gave him a tight hug. James smiled at him and Remus pulled away from Emm. "I'll be fine" he kissing the top of her head. She nodded and Remus turned and walked off up to the Manor. He was about to open the door but it swung open of its own accord. He glanced back and Dumbledore nodded and Remus went through the door.
And that was it. They waited outside for fifteen minutes and then entered.
-
Lily had finally thought of an idea. She stood up as soon as she heard footsteps coming and pulled out her wand. She waited, and then the door opened and she flicked her wand and said; "Stupefy!"
The Death Eater fell down, and Lily hurried over to him. She stole his black robes and his mask and she raised her wand and said three things, one after the other. "Petrificus Totalus! Incarcerous! Silencio!" and he was in a full body bind, bound with ropes and couldn't make a sound.
Lily smiled. Maybe this would be easier done then said, instead of it being easier said then done…
She put the cloak and the mask on, feeling disgusted. I hope this is the first and last time I ever do this… she thought miserably.
She pointed her wand at the Death Eater on the ground and he rose into the hair and hovered over to the corner. She flicked her wand once and he crashed to the floor with a soft 'thump'.
Lily smirked and pulled his wand out of the robes and felt a bit better. At least she had another one just incase. Better to have two then one.
She walked out of the room, shut the door to the dungeon and walked along the hallway. She looked around and immediately got the creeps. There were spider webs on the ceiling, portraits of old Wizards but didn't move and a statue of a wizard, sitting on…
Muggles
Lily gasped. It was horrible, it was disgusting, it was insane.
The cruelty of some people…
She sighed and took her eyes off the statue. She heard voices and quickly hid behind it. This was a good idea as it was big enough and ugly enough to hide her without being noticed unless the Death Eaters could sense someone behind there.
As they walked past, they heard a snatch of conversation.
"Yes, the Dark Lord says that he wants Evans' answer tonight. Otherwise he'll choose for her" a female voice said softly and her companion nodded. "Honestly Bellatrix, I don't understand. Why would the Mudblood care about her friend? Why would she care about her family? I mean I'd rather stay alive. I'm surprised he hasn't killed her yet. I mean, she's been an annoying brat but all he does is put up with it"
They stopped in front of the statue.
"Don't you dare, ever question the Dark Lord. He is our Master, and he shall do as he likes Travers. And the filthy Mudblood cares because she is a Gryffindor" Bellatrix said the last word with loathefulness evident in her voice. "He intends to kill her in the end, whether she helps him or not"
"He tells you everything Bellatrix" Travers said, obviously with resentment.
"Not everything. He hasn't told me about the girl he went out with last week. Apparently they're dating"
"And you're jealous?" he sounded amused.
"Of course not Travers! You git, I'm engaged!" Bellatrix snarled.
"How much younger is the girl compared with Voldemort?"
"27 years younger" Bellatrix answered.
Travers gave a snort and she glared at him.
"C'mon, let's go. We need to make this meeting otherwise the Dark Lord will punish us" Travers said hurriedly.
They began to move as Bellatrix said; "He won't punish me"
"Oh yeah I forgot, he loves you too much. You are after all his favourite" His voice was full of jealousy.
Bellatrix hit him on the back of the head. "Idiot" she muttered and their voices disappeared as did the voices owners.
Lily walked out, and jumped back behind it as another Death Eater walked past. He didn't even stop or look around, he just kept walking.
Once more she left her hiding spot and turned the corner but immediately a Death Eater grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall.
"Tell me, where is the Prisoner kept?" His voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't think.
She looked into his eyes, and remembered.
"Remus?"
His eyes widened and he frowned.
"Lily?" He looked at her own eyes and stepped back.
"You came" Lily whispered and hugged him tightly.
He nodded and hugged her back.
"Of course, we couldn't just leave you here could we? Oh yeah and sorry it took so long"
She grinned and pulled away. "Just as long as you're here then that's fine by me. And luckily for me, I don't have to give Voldemort an answer"
He looked confused. "What answer?"
Lily told him about Voldemort forcing her to choose between her family and James.
"Bloody hell" he muttered.
She nodded and suddenly a voice filled the entire hallway and she recognized it as Voldemort.
"Death Eaters come to the Death Chamber. I repeat, Death Eaters to the Death Chamber"
"C'mon" she said pulling Remus by the hand.
"Lily no! Stop!" he said and he stopped walking, forcing her to stop.
"Remus, didn't you hear what he just said? We've got to get to the-"
"Why are we going there? C'mon let's just go! My job was to come in and get you and then leave now let's get out of here"
"Remus it'll look suspicious and trust me, Marble head doesn't miss a thing"
"Marble head?" Remus questioned, cocking his eyebrow.
"Oh I mean Voldemort"
He shook his head and sighed. "If we get caught and die, remember its you're fault"
Lily grinned, "Don't worry we won't die!"
They hurried off and found the Death Chamber and walked in, and immediately they saw Voldemort. He was on top of a stage, higher then everyone else as they sat at tables. Remus and Lily joined the table closest to them and other Death Eaters shuffled along to make room.
"What's going on?" Remus asked.
"His giving a speech" the Death Eater replied.
Lily and Remus glanced at each other.
"Fellow Death Eaters! Welcome! Welcome to my… birthday party!"
Many Death Eaters cheered happily.
"He must be a hundred years old!" Lily muttered to Remus who chuckled.
"No, I think he's about forty or something"
She snorted. "Yeah right"
Remus just shook his head.
Voldemort cleared his throat and glared at everyone in the room. After what he had just said everyone had broke out into discussion.
"Yes, yes. It's been forty-three years since my mother died. On my birthday. My Pureblood mother. She would have survived had she not been heart broken… by a filthy, dirty, ungrateful Muggle.
"He left my mother he did. He left her when he found out she was expecting his child. Right after she told him she was a witch. Right after she stopped giving him armortentia"
Several people looked away and back at the platform Voldemort was standing on.
"And now, now he is gone. My filthy Muggle father is gone. And as are his parents. And I saw to the three of them one night after I was searching for my grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt. Instead of seeing him, I saw his son, my mother's brother, my uncle… Morfin. He told me about how my mother, Merope, ran off with Tom Riddle, the man who gave me his name, the name I despised for many, many years. I got a new one, a far better one, one which people feared to speak of, except for one person. Yet that one person still calls me by the name I still hate today- Tom.
"My mother, she ran off, and stole a great possession that belonged to my Grandfather. A gold locket, with an 's' on it. An 's' that stood for Salazar Slytherin himself. And Morfin wasn't very happy about it. And he had a ring. A gold band, but a black stone in it. With scratches. And I took it, right after I stole his wand, performed the murders, went back to his house and left him lying there, his wand beside him. But when he woke up and was carted off to Azkaban without a trial, he realized he'd lost his father's possession, his father's ring, his father's ring that had been in the family for years. And he died shortly after, he died an innocent man… and I got off scott free, not even accused, not even under suspicion. And he was blamed for those murders which he never committed".
There was silence as Voldemort glanced around the room.
"But no matter, no matter. We can make up for that, by celebrating my birthday. And now, let's dance. Hit the lights!"
The room suddenly went dark, but a humungous disco ball was lit up, sparkling as many colourful lights were displayed. The Death Eaters got up and Lily and Remus did the same. They frowned.
"I like to move it move it. I like to move it move it. I like to-"
"MOVE IT!" The Death Eaters shouted, finishing Voldemort's sentence and they began to dance.
Remus gave Lily a meaningful look and they began to copy the other's moves.
They were all dancing for five-ten minutes when suddenly the lights were back on, the disco ball was vanished and the flashing lights were no longer flashing around the room.
But there were people at the door. And those people were not more Death Eaters.
They were Dumbledore, Sirius, Becky, Emm and… James.
Lily's heart began to beat, faster and slower with every second. And she and Remus hurried over towards the others, but the five pointed their wands at them.
Just then someone pushed Lily and she fell forward, her mask slipping and she stood up, and James grinned and lowered his wand first.
"Dumbledore!" Voldemort snarled and watched as Death Eaters dueled students of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore was fighting four at a time, and knocked them all out. James was dueling back to back with Sirius, both of their opponents said the exact same spell at the same time, and James and Sirius ducked, and the Death Eaters were too slow, and lay on the floor dead.
Emm was battling one, both her and her opponent's wands slashing like swords, fighting to kill.
The Death Eater cast a killing curse at Emm, and she was too slow to block it, so with all her might, Lily pointed her wand at the Death Eater and shouted; "Protego!" and the spell was knocked back at the Death Eater who deflected it.
Lily stunned the Death Eater and Emm ran over and hugged her.
"Thank you Lils" she whispered and ran off to continue Remus' battle, as he was fighting one and another one turned up. They fought, side by side.
Lily turned around and saw Becky in the middle of two Death Eaters.
Lily raised her wand again and said very clearly; "Petrificus Totalus!" and one of them fell like a stiff board to the floor. Becky looked at the Death Eater, then at Lily and grinned. The other Death Eater walked up to her and she turned and punched him on the nose. He fell back onto the table, obviously not expecting that. Becky stunned him and ran off to fight another.
Dumbledore continued fighting as some one grabbed Lily's hand. She turned around quickly and was about to aim a curse at whoever it was when she realized it was James.
"Not going to attack me are you Evans?" he asked smirking.
She smiled. "I was thinking about it but now I've changed my mind"
There was a few minutes silence before-
"Look Lily, I'm sorry I-"
"No James, you had every right to be mad at me. And I'm the one who should be sorry-"
"Lily, I should have been madder at Carly then I was at you-"
"No, I understand. I would have reacted the exact same way-"
"God you're so stubborn! I'm trying to apologize-"
"You're the stubborn one! I'm trying to apologize!"
"Look how about we call it a truce?" James said running his hand through his hair. He looked a bit annoyed.
"Deal" Lily said shaking his hand.
"Lily, there's something I have to tell you"
"Can it wait? We're kind of in a battle!"
"No, Lily I love you"
Lily stared at him.
"What?"
"I love you" he repeated grinning.
"James, I lo-"
But she was cut off and was flying away and realized that someone had summoned her, and she thought she knew who had done that.
Voldemort grabbed her on the back of the neck and held a silver dagger to her throat.
But no one noticed except for James who began to run towards the platform.
"Drop you're wands or the girl dies!"
His voice was magically magnified, and everyone in the entire chamber turned to look at Voldemort.
Sirius, Remus, Emm and Becky stopped, but Dumbledore turned and walked calmly towards the platform.
"You don't need to do this Tom. We can settle this without death threats and murder. Just you and me"
"I wouldn't go near you with a ten foot wand" Voldemort snarled.
"Well, you're closer then ten feet to me" Dumbledore replied innocently.
"Stand back Dumbledore or I'll slit her throat!"
"No you won't" Dumbledore replied, his voice cool and calm, it never showed any fear or anger, just its normal calmness.
"I'll only let her go on one condition" Voldemort said after a few minutes thought.
"And what is that?" Dumbledore asked frowning.
"We trade. Potter for the Mudblood" his eyes shone malevolently as James' eyes widened.
"Deal" James said and started to move closer to the stage.
"James stay where you are" Dumbledore commanded and James turned to him.
'If you think I'm gonna let that nutcase kill Lily because he wants me then you don't know me at all" James said in an undertone, but Voldemort heard nonetheless.
"Nutcase? I hope you weren't referring to me Mudblood lover" Voldemort snapped at James who turned back to him.
"Nah Voldie, I was referring to you're mum's chest hair" James said sarcastically and Lily smiled.
"Don't call me VOLDIE! And my mother doesn't- didn't have chest hair anyway!" Voldemort screamed angrily.
"How do you know that?" James asked raising his eyebrows.
"The orphanage told me" Voldemort replied quickly and after that he blushed. A blushing Voldemort is a very interesting sight you see because his face goes from its normal milky white to a blotchy red. People sniggered, Death Eaters included until Bellatrix gave them dark looks.
"Shut up! How did we get onto this subject anyway? I'm trying to trade here!" Voldemort said glaring at James.
"So Potter, are you going to be this Mudblood's knight in shining armor? Or her loser in aluminum foil?" Voldemort asked leering at him.
James ignored Voldemort and said; "Don't call her that"
Voldemort laughed cruelly. "Oh, you are just like Dumbledore. A fool, idiotic, Mudblood lover, Muggle lover… Keep this up and you'll be Headmaster, the worst one the school's ever had… or one of the worst" he gave Dumbledore a dirty look and Dumbledore merely smiled.
"Very interesting Tom, but alas leave these two out of this, take me instead"
Everyone was shocked by what Dumbledore had just said.
"Professor? Are you sure you've thought this through?" Remus asked worriedly.
Dumbledore nodded. "Yes I have thought this through"
Remus and Sirius glanced at each other and seemed to be thinking the same thing- 'Dumbledore is very intelligent at times, but sometimes he's a plain nut'.
"What would I want with an old fool like you?" Voldemort sneered.
"Oh, I wouldn't talk if I were you Voldemort! How old are you again? Oh that's right, forty three" Lily said struggling.
If possible, Voldemort went even whiter, and he was milky white all year round.
"Shut up, or I'll slice you're head off" he commanded but Lily didn't shut up.
"Yeah right, I dare you to" she said struggling even more.
"Lily shut up! You're gonna get you're self killed!" James said glancing at her.
"Don't tell me what to do James Potter! You're not the boss of me!" she replied glaring at him. But he only smiled at her and said; "I never said I was"
"Yeah well you were acting like it" Lily replied.
Voldemort rolled his eyes. "Honestly you two bicker like an old married couple"
They both shut up immediately.
"Tom, be reasonable. Why kill two young innocent teenagers when you can kill an old man, who happens to be Headmaster of Hogwarts and then name you're self headmaster?" Dumbledore asked.
The six teenagers looked at Dumbledore as if he was crazy.
Voldemort thought this over and pushed Lily into the arms of a Death Eaters. "No! Let me go you git!" Lily said struggling as hard as she could. But she wasn't strong enough.
Dumbledore smiled. "Excellent" he said happily.
"Now give me Lily and then I'll walk calmly over and let you do whatever you like with me"
"Do you think you could be his sex slave? Its just that he was asking me to help get rid of James so much I thought he was gay and assumed he only wanted James so he could get into his pants but he passed it off as 'strictly business' aka killing and I told him that it was just code language for him wanting to get into James pants" Lily said from where she was and everyone laughed.
"Shut up Evans. You are a nuisance" Voldemort muttered.
"If I have you Dumbledore, then who will save you're students? I mean once I kill you I can't guarantee that I won't want desert" His red eyes glowed brightly as Emm's eyes widened and Remus took hold of her hand.
"Oh that won't happen" Dumbledore said cheerfully.
"Dumbledore you won't be here to make sure that won't happen" Voldemort said smirking.
"Really? Because just remember, the ones who love us never really leave us" (A/N: I know that quote is from the PoA movie, but I love it so much!)
"Whatever Dumbledore! Let's get a move on" Voldemort said rubbing his head.
"Hand over Lily first"
"No, you come here first"
"No… hand over Lily"
"No, get you're hairy butt over here now"
"I don't think so. Give Lily to James now"
"Nope. No way. You come here first and then I might give her over"
"I don't like that suggestion. Give her to me now"
"No, I don't like that suggestion either. Now come here"
"No. Give Lily over now"
An hour later…
"Give you're self up and then I MIGHT think about giving her over"
"No, give her to us now and then you can have me"
"No-"
Lily rolled her eyes and did the only thing she thought of-
She elbowed the Death Eater holding her in the stomach and then stunned him with the wand that was in her pocket.
She walked over to the side of the platform and jumped off and James caught her, the whole time Voldemort and Dumbledore were still arguing.
Sirius, Becky, Remus and Emm hurried over to the door, Lily and James took their time.
"Professor! We're ready to go now!" Lily called out and the two men look over at the door.
The six of them all turned on the spot and Apparated away.
Dumbledore smiled. He knew Voldemort so well…
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Voldemort screamed. Dumbledore smirked and before any of the Death Eaters could stop him, he turned left and was engulfed by the familiar sensation…

Later that night…
"Lily?" James asked walking over to her in the Common room. The other's had all gone to bed after Lily had told them her grilling story about what she did the whole time she was at Malfoy Manor. They gasped at the right places, laughed at the right places and in Emm's case, cried in the right parts. When they saw Lily and James glancing at each other Sirius, Becky and Emm got up, but Remus who was sitting comfortably and was grinning evilly was pulled up by Emm and dragged off.
"Yes James?" Lily asked smiling as she stood up. She was about to go to bed herself.
"We never got to finish that conversation" James stated and Lily grinned as she headed over to the girl's staircase.
"No we didn't"
"Well, I'd like to. Would you?" He sounded nervous and Lily chuckled.
"Uh, yeah sure… I wouldn't mind" she said turning around to look at him. He wasn't very far away from her.
"Well, as I was saying… I lo… I'm in… I love you"
Lily grinned as she walked even closer to him, making him swallow hard, his eyes never leaving hers.
"Really? That's nice" she said standing a centimeter away from him.
His voice was dry, he couldn't think, he couldn't even remember what he had just said a few seconds ago.
His mind was going fuzzy as she got even closer, her face inching towards him.
'I… ah… um… I-er… What do you… uh, f-feel?" He asked nervously.
Lily smirked. "Oh I feel very… amused right now"
"No, uh I-I mean… t-towards you know… me" His voice was so dry and he actually went cross-eyed as she grew even closer, their noses merely inches away from each other.
"My hearts is beating so fast, yet so slow at the same time" she whispered and he smiled and she leaned in a kissed him, brushing her lips against his and letting her arms snake around his neck, while his edged his way around her waist and she let one of her hands run through is already messy hair…
The next day…
"Hey isn't that the I-hate-Carly-club?" Becky asked pointing to the top of the stairs.
"I believe so" Remus said frowning.
"What are they doing?" James asked frowning.
"You're mum" Lily and Sirius said at the same time and they looked at each other and they all laughed.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! KILL!" The Carly haters chorused. They all had a torch and a pitchfork in their hands.
DemonFromThePast stood there running her hand over the flame and smiling amusedly.
Rebellion Author kept muttering; "Kill Kill Kill Kill" under her breath and purpleducki88 was banging the end of her pitchfork on the ground and looked angry.
Mistinthenight was laughing at a joke that Danfan 789 had told her. Mistinthenight then juggled both hers and Danfan 789's torches which were flaming.
zEthHPFrEaK was balancing their pitchfork on their middle finger and xlostangelx was talking to 00kayko00 about their plans in quiet voices.
Serenity12345, bookworm1232 and fanficfan73 were all sliding down the marble staircase while bch1993 kept lighting and unlighting her torch in amusement.
Lily the Marauder was tapping her foot and kept glancing at her watch when suddenly a loud chorus of "Get her!" came from the hate club and then…
There was a scream as Carly somehow made her way through the crowd of the angry mob and mistinthenight, bch1993, Rebellion Author and DemonFromThePast all yelled; "Fight! Chase! Rampage! Charge! KILL!" and joined the angry mob.
Fanficfan 73 had actually already lit Carly's skirt up and the rest except Lily the Marauder charged at her, hitting her with pitchforks, setting her clothes and hair on fire.
Suddenly Lily the Marauder said; "Jab her up the arse!" And charged forward and jabbed Carly in the bum and Carly howled with rage.
"Let's run this bitch outta here!" bch1993 yelled and the mob agreed.
"Let's kick this road whore into the streets!" Danfan 789 yelled.
"Release the hounds!" DemonFromThePast shouted.
"Excellent" Rebellion Author said clapping excitedly and jumping up and down.
Suddenly, bookworm1232 lifted Carly up into the air and threw her onto the mob, who all carried her to the Entrance Hall, past the Marauders and co, and out into the grounds.
Serenity12345 was actually running along beside the mob and filmed the whole thing.
"Ooooh let's get her!" said a little sinister voice and Stewie Griffin ran after the mob, holding a gun and a chainsaw.
Lily the Marauder picked Stewie up and let him ride on her back piggyback style.
The six seventh year students stared in shock, amazement and happiness and looked at each other.
"Let's go!" Remus and James said at the same time and Emm materialized six pitchforks and six flaming torches and each grabbed a pair and ran out of the hall, following the mob of Carly haters and into Hogsmead.
The mob whacked Carly and soaked her with water but Rebellion Author did the worst-
She got a tin of mushy dog food and ran it… all through Carly's hair and she screamed the loudest ever.
"Oh crap my hair!" she shrieked.
"Oh crap my hair!" bch 1993 mimicked and grabbed a baseball bat and slammed it into Carly's stomach.
Sirius and Becky ran forward and Remus flicked his wand and Carly rose into the air.
"PINYATA!" the mob plus Sirius and Becky shouted and they all formed a line.
Emm went first and whacked Carly on the back of the head with her pitchfork.
The line shortened and people went back for seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths etc and so on.
James and Lily ran away out of the line and laughed.
"Well that was fun!" Lily said breathlessly.
"I can think of something just as fun" James said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Lily glanced around and saw that the mob and their friends were busy bashing the shit out of Carly.
She grabbed James by his tie and pulled him down alleyway…
Lily the Marauder and bch1993 high fived when suddenly a weird/crazy/annoying girl named Harlee, (who refers to be called Harlz) Apparated right next to them.
"Hi! Sorry I'm late! I got here as soon as I could!"
"That's okay mate, let's go bash her!" bch1993 said hugging Harlee (Harlz).
"Nah Belinda, let's go kick the crap outta her" Lily the Marauder said and they grinned as she patted Harlee (Harlz) on the back.
"Awww… but I wanted to use my cleaver and machete on her!" Harlee (Harlz) whined.
"What happened to 'sharpen you're pitchforks?' and 'light the torches!'?" bch1993 asked as they saw DemonFromThePast whack Carly in the stomach.
"You just said the magic words…" Harlee (Harlz) said smirking.
"Ooooh look a butterfly!" Harlee (Harlz) continued.
"Mate, you better take this chance otherwise Carly will be dead before you get the chance to hit her, or set fire to her"
"Touché Lily the Marauder" Harlee (Harlz) said and the next second you heard this loud; "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" and Harlee (Harlz) ran up to Carly and kicked the shit out of her, whacked with the pitchfork several times and set fire to her.
Remus and Emm hugged each other and Sirius snaked his arm around Becky's waist.
"Where's Lils?" Becky and Remus asked at the same time.
Sirius and Emm shrugged. "Where's James?" They asked.
This time Becky and Remus shrugged but got suspicious looks. They decided to leave Carly to the mob and go back to school.
"OI Serenity12345! You gotta let us borrow that video!" Becky shouted. Serenity gave Becky the thumbs up and the Mob paused to wave goodbye, the four students waving back and the mob went back to attacking Carly.
"I'm gonna remember this day for the rest of my life" Remus, Emm and Becky all said happily.
But Sirius stopped and looked down an alleyway.
"OI! You two! Get a bloody room would ya?" He yelled as James gave him the finger and continued kissing Lily who was pinned up against a wall.
Becky grabbed Sirius by the arm.
"Honestly I don't know why I go out with a pervert like you Sirius"
"Because you love me" he said allowing her to pull him away.
"Well, tomorrow it's back to school" Remus said sighing.
"Yeah, and we'll have to get used to James and Lily being totally inseparable" Emm said smiling.
"They always were, even when they hated each other" Becky commented amusedly.
"No they weren't! They couldn't stand to be in the same room as each other" Sirius said rolling his eyes.
"Actually, all they wanted was to fight with each other non-stop. There were times when we had to practically drag them away from each other" Remus said nodding.
"Moony! You were supposed to take my side!" Sirius whined.
"Oh shut up Sirius!" Remus, Becky and Emm said at the same time and Sirius sulked all the way up to the castle…
