It was almost four days after. He was walking through the corridors at a quick pace. He shouldn't be out here this late but Severus had to find the room of the requirement for Lily's sake. He ran his fingers along the walls as she searched for some sort of door. As he hustled up the stairs to the third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor. His breath was heavy and short. He slid down one of the empty spaces on the wall and ran his fingers through his tousled black hair. He felt his back sliding into the wall all of a sudden. He crawled away from the wall and whipped around. And behind him he could see a large black door forming on the wall. A smile creeped across his face but quickly vanished when he realized he must do. Slowly the doors opened for him without a sound and he creeped inside.

"Lily! Wake up!" Someone was shaking her waking Lily from a wonderful dream about Sirius. Lily turned over on her side away from the shaker. "WAKE UP LILY!" A spark hit Lily in the fanny and she jumped up.

"What do you want?!" Lily yelled with aggravation. Alice's usually smiling face was staring at her. But Alice was not smiling she looked frightened. Alice grabbed Lily's wrist.

"Come on."

Alice dragged her all the way down the stairs to the common room. Almost every Gryffindor was down there. Lily rubbed her eyes and yawned. "What's going on?" she questioned. Alice was looking around nervously and her eyes found Remus. She ran to him and they embraced. "I'm so frightened Mooney." Alice whispered to him, Remus stroked her hair trying to sooth her. Lily stood behind them her brow scrunched together in frustration. "Alice! What is going on?"

"The teachers have called everyone out of bed and down to the common room." Alice explained. "Why?" There was a slight pause. "No one is completely sure but a rumor is going around that it has to do with…" she whispered "death eaters."

Lily began to feel dizzy. She was still recovering from the last encounter with a death enter. She felt distant like everyone else was far away and she was trying to catch them. A hand clamped on her shoulder bringing her back to reality.

"You okay Evans?" the warm voice said into her ear. Lily turned around facing Sirius's chiseled face. "Looked like your going to fall over." Unable to force her mouth into a smile she smiled with her eyes.

"I'm… I'm scared Sirius…" she stuttered. Sirius's expression immediately changed. He looked at her with concerned eyes. He took his hands in hers. His hands almost completely covered hers. There were many students in the common room and it was awfully crowded. But for a moment it felt like it was just the two of them.

"Can I have your attention please!" A young female professor stood on to the table and tapped her wand loudly. A hush fell over the students. "We have word that we have unwelcome visitors in the school…" she began "Who?!" someone yelled out. The professor cleared her throat and continued. "The headmaster is doing all he can to stop this problem. But as this could be an emergency we need all of you out of bed and prepared." The crowd erupted in voices but one voice was heard over all.

"Who are the unwelcome visitors?" Sirius's voice boomed and silence draped over us. All eyes were on the professor. She coughed nervously and shifted uncomfortably.

"Death eaters."

His long robe just touched the ground as he examined the room. 8 other pairs of eyes were watching him all in the same long robe. They all wore masks almost covering their faces completely. But one did not wear a mask. He was whimpering in the corner of the room thinking of what he had done. "This is perfect." Voldemort hissed. "Well done Severus." Bellatrix thrusted a mask into Severus's pale hands. "Welcome." She said calmly but with a tinge of envy.

Severus stared down at the mask its blank eyes stared back at him. His hands felt the cold texture of the one thing that kept him from having a descent future. And with one swift motion he threw the mask to the ground. It cracked. He then spit on top of the mask in anger.

"I will never join the likes of you."

There was a long silence before the dark lord began to laugh. He merely laughed at Severus's anger. Voldemort pulled out his wand slowly.

"I thought maybe you could have been a descent recruit. But I was wrong" he sneered "You're nothing more than a sniveling coward."

"You're wrong again!" Severus exclaimed "I may be a coward but my heart is not. My friends live in my heart and they keep me strong. They keep me brave. They keep me alive. Even if you are to kill me. My friends will live on! My heart will live on!"

Voldemorts amused expression morphed into anger. "We will test that theory." And with a flash of green Severus Snape was dead.
