About an hour after the game Mr. Evans came home, and when he came home he decided that the winning of Lily's team deserved a cookout. So everybody was looking forward to the great, grilling of Michael Evans. On the menu for that night was hamburgers and hotdogs, provided and cooked by Mr. E. A fresh garden salad compliments of Elizabeth Evan's, fresh vegetables from her very own garden. An attempt at making French Fries from the Marauders. Abby was making her mom's famous Potato Salad. Kris and Anthony were helping Mr. Evans with the grilling. Morgan, and Alice were making waffles, just because well nobody really knows why they made waffles. Lauren was in charge of making the Iced Tea, fresh lemonade, and getting out the soda. Courtney and Madi, decided that they would make some special corn-on-the-cob. Rachel's favorite thing to do was marinate the ribs. She had always taken a liking to this job when they were little. She just liked marinating things. Adding her own flavor to it o make it as unique as her. Lily and surprisingly Evan were working on dessert together.
"Ok what should we make for dessert?" Evan asked briskly, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
"Hhhhhmmm…. Well we know that the Marauders will eat anything chocolate. We better make a double batch of what-ever we make that is chocolate due to Sirius' er.. Habits when it come to eating."
"What kind of habits would those be?" Evan asked curiously.
"Well Sirius tend to eat A LOT. I don't mean like and extra helping a lot. I mean like three extra helpings a lot."
"Even Kris doesn't eat that much. Remember three years ago at your dads Annual Summer Cookout Blowout."
"Oh god yes! He ate like two hot dogs two hamburgers, and a slab of ribs in less then ten minutes."
"haha yeah. Then he ended up puking all over Petunia's favorite pink bathroom rug." He said in a preppy girly voice. Lily just burst out laughing.
"Oh my god I remember that. She totally flipped out. She started crying when mom and dad didn't make Kris apologize, nor buy her a new rug, since she was being a brat."
"Yeah. Good times, good times. Ok lets get back on track with dessert" suddenly remembering that his book on how to get girls said about control. 'Most girls like it when a man takes control of the relationship, and show leadership.'
Lily was startled on how they went to reminiscence back to dessert so suddenly. It was like she was snapped back into reality, while she was having a perfectly good time bashing her sister discreetly enough so that it wouldn't be taken for what it was at least. She didn't really like it though. She obliged anyway.
"Erm. O-o-ok then" she stuttered uncertainly. Evan of course took this the wrong way. He thought she was stuttering, because she was nervous around him. Little did he know she was growing more, and more over-whelmed by this 'new Evan'. The old Evan would endlessly flirt with her, though only partially jokingly. Still. This 'new' Evan was creeping her out. With the not so subtle change of subject, over confident attitude that wasn't about asking her out (or so she thought), and the odd smirks he was throwing over in James' direction.
"Well we could do a few strawberry, and or blueberry muffins. I know Abby, Kris, and if I remember correctly Alice? All absolutely adore muffins." He said, drawling out the word adore, for far to long.
"Yeah Alice does love muffins. You should see he at breakfast, back at school. She's the Queen of muffins, at our table. She reserves a special basket for herself. In the beginning of last year, she stood up on the bench, and announced to the whole hall of her love of muffins. She said if anybody touched her 'special' basket they would have to answer to her. Even the professors laughed." Morgan said from behind, startling Lily who's back was to her.
"Don't DO that Morgan. You scared the crap out of me! You know I hate it when you do that." Lily whined.
"Yeah I know, It just keep getting better, and better every time." Morgan chuckled.
"Well I have to go give the cinnamon to Alice. I guess we are going to have cinnamon in our waffles for some reason." Morgan said rolling her eyes.
"K. Have fun with Alice!" Evan shouted across the kitchen, glancing in the marauders direction as he did so. Sirius was examining a potato, as if he never saw one before. James was looking at the bubbling grease, nervously. While Remus was doing the only correct thing ,out of all of them, to do when your making French Fries. He was attempting to skin the potatoes. He was skinning a wet potato, and it slipped out of his hand and straight into the back of Lauren's head. She spun around and chucked it back at them. Successfully hitting Remus between the eyes, and landing on the counter.
"Can you believe them Lils?" Evan asked smirking.
"What?" Lily asked coldly. Evan noticed this, but shook it off telling himself that he imagined the iciness in her voice. So he continued his rant about how stupid they were.
"I mean really it's like they've never made French fries before. I mean really how think can you get? Am I right." He said sardonically, rolling his eyes. Lily knew that tone. It was the tone people like Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Black, Rodolphus Lestrange, and her ex-best friend Severus Snape used on her. It was a tone of disgust and disdain of somebody. Those somebody's were her friends too. Suddenly she felt really uncomfortable around Evan. Again Evan misjudged her, so he took her silence as agreement. With one last satisfactory disdainful smirk in the Marauders direction. He turned back to Lily and started conversing with her about dessert again.
They made chocolate brownies (a double batch for Sirius), muffins for Alice, Abby, and Kris, some key lime pie for Morgan and Remus, and an assortment of pudding for everybody else.
Since the gazebo was far to small to fit 16 people. Kris, Anthony, and Sirius set up some long foldable plastic tables. They started talking about Evan.
"So what's up with that Evan kid? Rachel's brother right?" Sirius asked conversationally as he hauled a table over to the middle of the yard.
"Oh he's always had the hots for Lily." Anthony said.
"Yeah, I mean I love Lily. We've all know her for pretty much most of our lives. We always used to play with each other when we were little, until Lily started going to that boarding school. I would give my life for her. I'm sure we all would. Evan though has developed an er." started Kris
"Severe liking to her more then a friend. Ever since Lily went away to school he never was really the same. Lily was like the mother of our little group. She was like always telling us about the bad kids on the block, even though she was only like nine, she was really mature for her age. She always steered us away from that sort of stuff." stated Anthony.
"Do you guys know why he was like giving me and my friends like a mega-death glare?"
"Sorry mate, I haven't got the slightest clue on why he hates you guys so much. It might be because you are friends from Lily's school. He always wanted to be closer to her. You have what he doesn't. I think he's jealous."
"He also doesn't like anything abnormal. Like how you guys looked like you've never seen a fryer before." Sirius laughed nervously at this statement.
"He sounds like her sister Petunia's type, more than Lils' type. I mean she is like so against even a spec of dust that's out of place."
"Well can you guys try to get him to lay off us. He's really starting to freak us out." Sirius asked.
"We can try, Evan is a tough cookie to crumble though." At the mention of cookies Sirius' ears perked up like a dogs.
"Cookies!?" He asked excitedly. Kris and Anthony started laughing at this.
"Well we'll try. We like you guys you know. You're cool enough for Lily to hang with, then it's good with us. It takes a lot for Lily to trust for some reason. If she trusts you, consider yourself lucky." said Kris smiling warmly at Sirius, like they've know each other as long, as they have Lily.
"Ok well thanks. That means a lot to all of us. Knowing you only for a few hours, and everything." Sirius says shakily.
"No problem mate, that's what friends do for each other." comforted Anthony carefully, and tentatively.
After they finished talking they went to go get the others, to help carry everything out. After the ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, salad, a successful batch of French fries, potato salad, corn-on-the-cob, muffins, brownies, pie, pudding, and drinks were all set down on the table, people started to sit down. Mr. Evans at the head of the table Mrs. Evans to his right, James to his left. Next to James was Lily, who was next to Sirius, Remus, Anthony, Kris, Rachel, Evan, Courtney, Madi, Abby, Alice, Morgan , and then Lauren next to Mrs. Evans.
Evan decided he go into phase to of his plan to get Lily. Suck up to the parents.
"So Mr. Evans. I hear you lost a case the other day, about some prostitute was it?" Evan asked crisply. Mr. Evan's face hardened.
"Yes, yes I did. It was very unfortunate for my client." He replied shortly.
Phase two complete, Evan thought haughtily. Time to move onto phase three tonight at the club. The take-down as he referred to it.
Dinner moved on smoothly from there on. No more weird comments from Evan. All was normal. Until Sirius just had to ruin it. He claimed all of the brownies for himself, much to Lily's parents amusement, and to the others outrage.
"These are MY brownies!" Sirius shouted at Rachel.
"Sirius they're for EVERYBODY!" Rachel said irritated.
"No THEY ARE MINE!!" He exclaimed, as he got up from the table and ran off into the house cackling like a maniac. Lauren, Morgan, Alice, Rachel, Kris, Anthony, Evan, Courtney, Madi, and Lily all got up and chased him into the house screaming about having to share the brownies. Lily laughing so hard she lost her balance, and fell down on the grass. She just sat there laughing uncontrollably.
James did a double-take to make sure nobody but Abby, Lily's parents, and Remus were the only ones around. After he double-checked he whipped out his wand, with a VERY mischievous smile on his face. Abby and Lily noticed this.
Lily managed to laugh out a weak protest, knowing what he was about to do. Abby look interested about the scene folding out before her. While Mr. and Mrs. Evans looked at James like he was about to curse her daughter, while Remus was trying to reassure them through laughs of his own.
"Rictusempra" James shouted, laughing along the way.
If possible Lily started wiggle around even more, laughing even harder.
Mr. and Mrs. Evans look of mortification turned into confusion.
"He used a tickling spell on her." Remus explained to her parents, and Abby with a mischievous smile of his own. He took his wand out and used the same spell on James, and took the spell off Lily who was having a difficult time breathing, form laughing so hard. Once she saw James it just started back up again. She turned away and went back into the house to find Sirius, and her brownies!
When she got inside, she strained her ears for any sign of Sirius. She snuck up on flight of stairs. She looked around searching for any sign of brownies. Suddenly she felt a hot breath trickle down her neck. She spun around, only to see Evan's face an inch away from hers.
"Oh god! Oh it's you Evan. You scared me." panted Lily.
"You didn't want it to be me?" he pouted.
"Actually I was looking for Sirius and the Brownies." she said guiltily.
"Well you got me instead." Evan said happily, positively beaming that his plan was turning out so well. He had Lily on her own finally he thought hungrily. Abruptly he pulled her in close and kissed her fully on the mouth. Despite her squeal of surprise, protest, and her tears of hurt. Every time she made a sound, the kiss was deepened by Evan. He filled it with ten years of passion, his jealously of her school friends, the hurt he had when she dumped him, and the plain, cruel, hunger he felt for her.
Tears were steadily running down Lily's face now. She was so surprised that Evan would just be so spontaneous and kiss her. It wasn't just a little kiss either it was a one-way kiss that she had to be the receiver of. She tried to break free of his grasp multiple times. Every attempt she made, was denied by Evan. He was undoubtedly stronger than she. His firm grasp on her arm mad her fell like they were bruising. She was pushed up against the wall, his legs pinning hers to the same wall. Her arms got raised above her head, sometime. He let go of one of her, but quickly captured it in his other hand, trying to pull up her shirt.
He was just about there when he heard the shattering of breaking glass. Then he saw Sirius at the bottom of the stairs, with a broken brownie pan at his feet. His face was no more near even remotely handsome anymore. It was murderous. His usually handsome features were contorted. Contorted with anger, confusion, repulsion, a small bit of betrayal, and absolute hatred and disdain for Evan.
Evan was so scared, he almost peed his pants, right there on the spot. While running home like the little girl he was inside. Something made him stay though. The first thing Sirius said wasn't what he expected.
"James Potter, Remus Lupin." He said to nothing in particular. This confused both Evan and Lily. Personally Lily thought he was going crazy, until a voice came from his pocket that sounded extraordinarily like James' sounded.
"Yeah Padfoot what's up where are you? Lily went to go look for you and the brownies."
"Get up onto the second floor landing immediately." He said in a deathly calm voice, that chilled the spine, almost evil, but differently. The voice of a Black, some called it.
"Why what's wrong." Remus voice asked.
"Up. Here. Now" he barked.
No less then thirty seconds later Remus came bounding up the stairs, with James close behind.
"Hey what's going on up here?" Remus asked slowly.
"Why don't you ask Evan here?" Sirius said coldly.
"Well I was looking for Sirius and the brownies with everybody else, then Lily just jump up at me catching me by surprise, pinks me to the way, and starts kissing me." He spluttered.
"WHAT!" Lily screeched.
"That is NOT what happened! I was up here looking for Sirius and the Brownies. Then I felt somebody's breath on my neck. I find Evan standing behind him. We started talking. Then he just randomly starts kissing me. He pinned me up against the wall, and held my arms above my head. And he-he-he tried to take my shirt off. Then Sirius came down here…" She chocked out in a calm voice, until the end where she burst out sobbing and ran into James' outstretched arms. Her face buried in James' chest, Remus came up behind her and hugged her from behind. They knew Sirius would deal would Evan all to well. James and Remus led her up to her room, sat up on her bed, and spoke soothing words to her. They sat there for two hours, just talking to her and stroking her hair. Another hour later Sirius and a bloodied up Evan walked into the room. Lily hid behind Remus while Sirius forced an apology out of him, then shoved him back out of the room.
Soon all of them were laying on Lily's bed fast asleep. Their chest rising and falling in perfect sync with each other. Lily lay curled up in a ball in between James and Sirius. Remus lay at an odd angle slightly below her.
She wondered why she was in bed curled up against them. The previous night's events came flooding back to her. Her eyes started to well up with tears, at such betrayal. Evan knew that she only wanted to be friends. He knew that Lily wasn't kissing him back. Yet he still kept going. What a friend she thought sardonically. An eighteen year friendship ruined in one night.
She crept out of bed, trying not to move to much, so to not wake the sleeping boys that stayed with her all night an comforted her. She smiled at the thought of the three boys laying in her bed. She truly loved them. After six years of arguments on her and James' part. Nightly rounds with Remus as prefects together. Sirius just being there, being himself. She might have only just tied bonds with them only yesterday, but she had known them for six years before that. She really truly loved these boys. Remus and Sirius in a brotherly like way. James though was a different story.
She didn't know how to categorize James. She knew she loved him. It wasn't in a brotherly way, but not yet a romantic way. Last night when he was holding her she just… Well she fit.. She fit perfectly in his arms, like she was invincible. She felt like he would protect her from anything and anything that came her way. Even the killing curse. She just knew this. She didn't know how or why, but she did.
She just shook it off and started to descend down the stairs. Once she passed the living room she found nine sleeping bodies on the floor. All wrapped up in blankets, cuddled up to one another. All of her friends minus James, Sirius, and Remus had spent the night sleeping on the floor of all places, just to give her space. Well that made a tear trickle down her face. It wasn't a tear of sadness, or sorrow. But a single tear of happiness, and joy at the sight of her friends.
She tip-toed across the living room, into the kitchen, to see if there were any more of Alice and Morgan's waffles from last night. She was in luck there were around five more. She took two off the plate, and heated them up in the microwave. She got the butter and syrup out, and fixed herself up the waffles.
"Hey Lily." Abby whispered. Lily looked up startled.
"Oh. Hey Abby." she whispered back.
"Are you ok? After you know…" she trailed off.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just got to thinking of my real friends. Evan was always a little different, after well after I went to Hogwarts." Lily confided.
"Yeah, I don't know why but he was always talking about how if you guys didn't get back together then he was going over to the dark side. Well our dark side that is. Like with killing, raping and stuff. Not like Voldemort's dark side." She added hastily.
"Why didn't anybody tell me that!" Lily exclaimed in a strained whisper.
"We didn't want you to worry."
"You know what, did it ever occur to you that I could have helped Evan?"
"Well yeah actually it did. We just somehow knew that if we told you then it would just motivate him even more. So we didn't. Lils I think you need to tell them." Abby said quietly.
"Tell them what." Lily asked confused.
"You're a witch. You don't go to some boarding school in Spain, and that's why you won't go to college with us." She said sternly.
"You're right. As always. Thanks Abs." Lily said as she stretched her arms out for a hug.
"I'll tell them at breakfast."
"Tell who, what at breakfast?" Anthony asked groggily from the doorway.
"Huh? Oh hey Anthony. Well I want to say it when everyone's down here. Well at least all of you guys. It's… well it's important." Lily said shakily.
"Ok no problem well just wait 'til they all wake up." he said. Then started to mouth the words 'three, two, one.' When he got to one he opened his mouth out wide, and started walking towards the living room.
"WAKE UP! LILYS IN THE KITCHEN AND WANT TO TELL US SOMETHING!" he shouted, with a grin plastered on his face. Then he strutted back into the kitchen smiling.
"They should be in here in a minute."
"Nice one Anthony." Abby praised.
"Why thanks you fair maiden." He said bowing in the girl direction, while they were laughing.
"What' going on in here?" Madi asked.
"Oh yeah right. I wanted to tell you guys something. It's really important…." Lily said nervously, wringing her hands together nervously, all the while.
"Ok then lets talk about it over breakfast." Alice said happily, while going to the refrigerator.
Then Lily got a brilliant idea. She wouldn't have to directly tell them, if they saw the implication….. She whipped out her wand, form the waistband of her jeans, from yesterday and paused.
"No need Alice, I'll get everything."
Alice turned back to Lily with wide eyes, dawning with comprehension. While the others besides Lauren, Abby, and Morgan looked at her funnily.
"Um Lily. Why are you pointing a stick at the refrigerator?" Rachel asked unsurely.
"Oh. This is my wand, Rachel.." Lily stated matter-of-factly.
"Erm. Lily. We aren't five anymore. We don't play magic." Said Courtney, looking at Lily like she was insane.
"Oh I'm not playing watch." Lily said as she started thinking about a spell she could do. Then she got it.
"Expecto Patronum" Lily said blissfully. She chose a memory of all of them, when they were six, and seven years old. mini flashback They were all running around the pool in their normal clothes. Suddenly Kris trips and falls into the pool, clothes and all. Then Rachel goes to help him up, and he pulls her in to. Soon they're all in the pool laughing merrily and having a good time. ends mini flashback
Everyone in the room stood there slack-jawed, with their mouths open. Even Alice, Lauren, and Morgan. There was a silver doe walking around the room pompously, occasionally sniffing somebody.
"Wow Lily! I didn't know you could do a corporeal patronus.! That's really advanced magic. My mum works at the ministry in the experimental charms department, and she can't even do one!" Morgan exclaimed happily.
"So it's, it's real." Kris whispered.
"Yeah, it's real. I understand if you don't want to hang out with me anymore. That's why I didn't tell you, because I thought you would be like Petunia, and hate me for it!" Lily rambled on hysterically.
"So now I have a sister, and a whole group of friends who…"
"Lily stop! We do not hate you for this. It isn't your fault you're a witch. We all think it's bloody awesome actually. Why do you think you were undefeated at Magic when we were little." Anthony said reassuringly, trying to calm Lily down.
"Yeah Lils. I mean sure we wish you went to school with us, but you know you belong in the magical world. It's your fate." Madi said soothing, her friend. Each word calming her more and more.
"Yeah. I mean Madi is right. You belong in the magical world. To me it sounds like your bloody amazing at magic, judging by the expressions of your other friends. Are they witches to?" asked Courtney.
"Yeah." Lily nodded meekly.
"Alice, Lauren, Morgan, James, Sirius, and Remus are all wizards, like me."
"You would think if they were magical, they would do something about Sirius and give him more of a brain." Rachel said rolling her eyes, at Sirius' antics from last night with the brownies.
"I am one of the top, of my class thank you very much!" Sirius exclaimed from the hallway, with a mock hurt expression on his face.
"Just because I'm not in the room doesn't give you the right to talk about me." Sirius said dramatically, putting a hand over his heart, shaking his head with mock disappointment.
"Come on Sirius. Drop the act. If you do how about we go to that club tonight. The Blue margarita was it?"
"Yeah" Sirius said excitedly.
"Well how about we go there, to celebrate the fact that we still have eight more days of summer left. We'll meet at my house say around 9ish tonight?"
"Sounds good to us Lily. We'll meet you at the door at nine. K?"
"Alright see you guys later." Lily shouted at the retreating backs.
(Lily's house 9pm that night)
"Lileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Mr. Evans yelled up the stairs.
"Yeah dad?"
"Your friends are here!"
"Tell them I'll be down in a minute!" Lily yelled back.
"Ok how do I look?" Morgan asked. She was wearing a darker shade purple strappy tank top, that was tight around the bust, then flowed out nicely and ended right at her amethyst belly-button ring. She had a white jacket over it. She sported a middle thigh length white leather skirt with purple jewels encrusted on the belt loops. For shoes there were short black heels, that had a string that criss-crossed up and down her legs until it reached her knees. She had on a light black eye-liner, with a dark purple eye-shadow on. She also was wearing a silver chain, with a heart dangling from it.
"You look great Morgan. What about me?" Lily asked. Lily was also wearing a strappy tank top, but in green. Her emerald studded belly-button ring glinting in the light. She also had on knee high boots, in black leather though instead of white. She was wearing a short dark jean skirt, higher then Morgan's. She had on black eye-liner with a small amount of mint green eye-shadow on. She had on a silver chain with her signature Lily pendant, that she got from an unknown sender for Christmas last year.
"Marvelous as always. You see me and Alice already know we all look drop dead gorgeous so come on lets go. I've never been to a Muggle club before." Exclaimed Lauren, sounding very much like Sirius. She was wearing a pale yellow tank top, that ended right at the top of the back pockets, of her light washed mini skirt. The top stood out from her dark hair, and complexion. It looked great. Her skin had a shimmery glow to it from her lotion. She had her hair curled and pulled back into a ponytail, with a few loose strands hanging in her face. She was wearing a heart shaped locket, with an enchanted picture of her and Sirius, by the lake at Hogwarts.
Alice was wearing a modest length midnight blue halter, that brought our her eyes beautifully. She was also wearing tight black leather pants, that ended at her black heels. She had on sapphire studs, in her ears. A heart necklace encrusted with small blue sapphires, that she got from Frank for Christmas last year.
They grabbed their clutches, and gracefully walked down the stairs, meeting up with their friends at the door. James, Sirius and Remus were already down there dressed in jeans, and different colored shirts. Remus had on a dark blue shirt, James a dark green, and Sirius a light black one.
"How are we getting to the club?" Courtney asked.
"We could apparate there. I mean the ministry won't be able to find out. Even if they did they wouldn't be able to prove it. You guys can do side-along with us." Morgan said hastily. Lily's muggle friends just gave her a quizzical look.
"Yeah that sounds good." agreed Remus.
"Here's a picture of the bar guys, so we don't splinch." James said, holding out a picture of a very lively looking bar.
"Ok Abby grab onto James' arm hold on tight. Every body do that to your partner. Rachel you can hold onto Alice, Kris can have Morgan, Anthony and Lauren, Courtney and Remus, Sirius and Madi. I'll go by myself. Ok. Lets go." As they all spun on their heels, getting the ever so familiar feeling of being sucked through an incredibly small tube. They arrived at the back of the bar with a crack, that sounded like a backfiring car. The fat, bulldozer of a guard looked back, to see the 13 teens walking up confidently towards him.
"May I see your IDs?" the guard asked gruffly.
"Yeah just a second. You guys give me all of your IDs so we don't all have to jostle each other around." Lily said to the chattering group. They all groped around their pockets until they found their IDs and gave them to Lily, who gave them to the guard.
"Ok, they look real enough, have a nice time at the Blue Martini." he said flatly.
Once they got in they were all awestruck. The bar must have had over 300 bottles of alcohol. The dance floor had at least 75 people dancing crazily. The DJ was even dancing to his own beat. They loved it.
After an hour Lily had downed two 'Sex on the Beach'es, a martini, and a glass of wine. She was dancing with a bunch of guys, on the dance floor highly amused by the changing colors of the floor. When she spotted James she waved him over.
"Hey Lily. Whoa how much have you had to drink?" He asked sternly while handling a drink of his own.
"Only two." she tried to sound innocent but was failing miserably, slurring her words.
"Lily"
"Ok ok maybe four."
"What!" he yelped.
"Four"
"Yeah I heard you, I just don't believe it. Rule abiding, prefect, teacher's pet Lily Evans drunk at a muggle bar."
"Hey I am not a teacher's pet!" She slurred.
"Come on lets go find the others, I want to see how drunk they are." He lied.
He led Lily over to Alice, who was sitting in the corner completely sober, tapping her foot to the rhythm of the music.
"Hey Alice." James said. Suddenly there the sound of shattering glass to their right. A jet of green light whizzed past them, and hit an innocent bystander who was now dropping to the floor.
"Alice! Take Lily home, alert the ministry, then come back here to help fight, I'll round up the others, and we'll hold them off until the ministry gets here."
"Death Eaters…" Alice whispered. Then she nodded grabbed Lily by the arm and apparated into Lily's room.
(At the Blue Martini)
After Alice left, a fierce battle broke out. Countless muggles died. James, Sirius, Alice, and Remus were each battling two Death Eaters each. Lily's muggle friends were safe at her house, since Morgan apparated them all back. Now she was back and was fighting a particularly nasty Death Eater of her own. Lauren had her own Death Eater, and there were spell ricocheting of walls, and blasting apart bottles of alcohol from the bar.
Alice was battling a Death Eater with long blonde hair suspiciously like Lucius Malfoy's, and Antonin Dolohov who had graduated the year before from Hogwarts. James was battling Severus Snape, who's mask fell of during the duel, and Augustus Rookwood, who worked in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. Sirius was dueling his dear cousin Bellatrix, and her new husband Rodolphus Lestrange. Remus was dueling two masked Death Eaters, dodging spells with great skill. Lauren was battling Amycus Carrow, while Morgan had his sister Alecto. It was an equal battle.
James stunned Rookwood, and was now head to head with Snape. He heard Snape say an incredibly dark curse aimed straight at him.
"Sectumsempra" Snape bellowed.
James just barely dodged it. Thank god for his Quidditch reflexes he thought. He sent back a curse of his own. It hit Snape dead on and turned him to stone. ('Duro' used by Hermione in DH during the battle of Hogwarts.)
After several minutes the duel was taking a turn for the better. Dumbledore showed up, along with a bunch of other Ministry members. They Death Eaters all had the sense to flee, and that left James, Sirius, Remus, Morgan, Alice, and Lauren to be standing in the ruins of the bar.
After two hours of constant questioning from the Ministry members, they were finally free to go. They apparated into their respectable rooms, and passed out, as soon as they hit the pillows. Not even bothering to change into pajamas.
