There was chaos, everywhere, people screaming and running and Lily was all alone. She couldn't see any of her friends, prehaps they had made it out the door, but it was too late for Lily, the doorway had collapsed after being hit by a jinx and the other doorway was surrounded by masked figures in long cloaks. Death Eaters. Lily had two options, fight or die.
"Stupefy!" she cried, stunning a Death Eater that was pointing their wand at a small girl. Two more Death Eaters turned to face her.
"Crucio!" A jet of red light darted towards Lily, she shimmied to the side barely managing to avoid it, "Serpensortia!" A long black snake flew out of the Death Eaters wand and started to make its way towards her, suddenly it reared up, made a snapping motion and was flying towards her.
"Protego!" Lily shouted, a shield forming around her which the snake hit and presently exploded. Suddenly out of nowhere James appeared. "Where the hell have you been?!" Lily screamed whilst throwing curses and jinx at random Death eaters and jumping out of the way of a flash of yellow light.
"Sorry! We all made it outside and thought you were with us when Remus realised you weren't, I apparated back straight away, and don't worry, the ministries on the way." James said almost getting hit by a jinx as he turned to glance at Lily.
"Don't worry! The ministry won't be here for at least 10 minutes, how can I not worry, besides we can't just apparate out theirs people in here that need our help!" Lily finished gesturing at three little girls huddled under one of the tables.
"Ok, I'll get them out of here." James replied ducking and running across the room. He vanished and re-appeared three times and was about to run back to Lily when he was blocked by a wall of falling rocks.
"JAMES!" Lily cried, making to run over to him but stopped at the last minute as she was grabbed from behind.
"Now what would a pretty thing like you be doing fighting here?" A leering voice asked.
"Get lost!" Lily screamed and assuming that the person holding her was a male she lashed out with her foot and kicked them in the groin. A groan of pain was heard as the man sunk to the ground, "And stay away from me! Stupefy!" The man slumped forward and didn't move. Standing up again she started fling curses at any Death Eater that she could see.
"Stupefy! Impedimenta! Serpensortia! Incarcerous! Levicorpus! Reducto!" Lily Screamed turning around and around a grim look of satisfaction flittered across her face as Death Eaters crumpled or were hoisted into the air. Suddenly she realised she was staring at someone that wasn't wearing a mask and who's face and body looked changed for the worse.
"You dare to challenge Lord Voldemort and his followers?" The man said in a snake like voice. Lily froze. "Yes, you should be afraid, very afraid." Suddenly without Lily able to summon a protective shield, Lord Voldemort;s wand was out a pointing towards her. "Crucio!" It was unimaginable pain, Lily was thrown back and she hit the floor with the sound of a bone breaking. She was sweating all over, Lily curled herself into a ball as another wave of intense pain hit her full on.
"Jam-" It was barely a whisper and before she could even finish she was overcome by a wave of nausea and Lily passed out. Suddenly there was a burst of light and she was covered by a shield, James had managed to get past the other death eaters and they were being dueled by aurors that had just arrived.
"Don't ever hurt her again!" James shouted, dodging, weaving and flinging curses at Voldemort.
"Young, Love. How disgusting." Voldemort replied sneering he flung one last curse at James and apparated away, all the conscious death eaters followed suit. The Leacky Cauldron was quite and James, unable to help himself passed out to.
The rest of the Marauders ran in. They had been held off by the Aurors despite Sirius's furious shouting to let them in to help their friends. It had all been so confusing Remus could have sworn that Lily was beside them but then she wasn't, and then James was gone too, and then reappearing and disappearing 3 times bring small children with him, and then he didn't come back.. By the time they had got away and realised that Lily wasn't with them, they couldn't get in, their friend were trapped. James managed to think of apparating but the others didn't have their licences and didn't want to risk splinching themselves.
The Leaky Caldren was an absolute mess. Tables were smashed, people were lying on the ground and groaning and others were trying to find their family or friends. Remus even thought he saw someone, that looked, that looked dead. He shuddered. He started sweating, what if James and Lily were two of the bodies lying under the rubble.
Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw a glowing sphere, rushing towards it he realised that Lily was indeed in it, unconscious and deathly deathly pale. James was next to her, unconscious as well but looking much better compared to Lily.
"Guys, we have to get Lily to St Mungo's, now!" Remus scooped up Lily and Sirius and Peter managed to lift up James, Mary returned a few seconds later holding a faintly glowing portkey.
"Quick!" Mary cried, they all managed to grab hold of the portkey and they dissapeared from the room.
