I'm woken up at five in the morning on Halloween, by James, who gets up shouting "It's Halloween!" ridiculously loudly.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.

I get up, pull on a jumper, grab my wand and storm down the stairs, grumbling all the way.
"Morning Lily! It's Halloween!"
"Yes James, I heard you. However it's also five o'clock in the morning! On a Saturday!"
"Oh...umm...sorry." He looks adorable, biting his lip and looking at the floor, and I yawn, going to sit next to him on the sofa.
"So you heard me celebrating then?"
"I think there are people in China that heard you, James. What's so special about Halloween, anyway?"
He looks at me, evidently shocked. "Halloween's only the BEST day of the year!"
"Wow, Christmas will be disappointed." I mutter, as he stands up, and starts to explain, gesticulating wildly.
"So, there is the feast, and the Hogsmeade visit, and the pranks on the other houses, and the party, and, and-"
"OK, I get the message. But why did you have to wake me up at five o'clock in the morning to tell me this?!"
"Well...we kind of need your help."
I sigh. "With what?"
"We wanted to do a charm in the Great Hall, and you're the best at Charms, and..."
"And what?"
"And you can probably do it without getting caught."
"Hang on, why aren't you lot getting Remus to do it? He's good at Charms."
"He's better at Defence, and anyway, he thinks the prank is stupid."
"And is he right?"
"Yep."
"So why are you doing it? You're supposed to be Head Boy, you know, responsible and all that."
"It's our last year at Hogwarts, so me and Sirius want to do one last Halloween prank."
"Fine. But what do you want me to do?"

Two hours later, I'm dressed and in position with James outside the Great Hall, hands shaking slightly.
"So, when do I do it?"
"On Sirius' signal. Umm...aha! Go on then Lily."
Taking a deep breath, I swish my wand in an arc, and then point at each of the giant pumpkins hovering in mid-air, muttering the spell under my breath. They quiver, and then still, and I grab James' hand, and start dragging him into the Hall.
"What are you doing? Why isn't it working?" He hisses in my ear, and I whisper back.
"It will work, we've got about a minute to sit down and look as innocent as possible."
He nods, and we take our places at the table, mentally counting down the seconds. At ten seconds left, I flick my wand discreetly under the table. "Impervius."

The giant pumpkins start to circle in the air, and Professor Flitwick looks up worriedly, nudging Professor McGonagall, who points her wand at them. Luckily, I performed the charm well, so they just spin faster. Next to me, James is laughing, and Sirius is leaning back, admiring them with a smirk. "Three...two...one." I whisper, and the pumpkins explode.

I created a shield, so I'm clean, but everyone else is covered in the insides of a pumpkin, coughing and spluttering. Including James and Sirius.
"Whoops." I mutter, as Sirius glares at me, desperately trying to get rid of the pumpkin in his hair.
Next to me, James looks outraged. "Lily!"
"That's for waking me up at five o'clock in the morning."

Standing up, I walk as quickly as I can towards the exit, grabbing a croissant on the way, and bump into Remus, who's standing by the doors, watching the chaos with a small smile on his face.
"Roped you into it, did they?"
"Yep. But I got them back." I point at the annoyed looking boys, and Remus grins.
"I had a feeling I should come down to breakfast late today. Now I'm glad I did."
"I'm going to go get ready for Hogsmeade. You coming?"
"No thanks, I think I'm going to go and laugh at the look on Sirius' face. See you later Lily."
"Bye!" I wave at him, and skip back to my room, all tiredness forgotten.

After dressing quickly, I go down to the common room to wait, and it doesn't take long for James to stagger in, covered in pumpkin.
"Uh...hi James!"
"You ready for Hogsmeade?"
"Uh-huh." I'm a bit confused; he usually would have gotten me back by now. Or tried to.
He walks behind the sofa, and I turn to face him.
"You know one thing that could make Halloween even better, Lily?"
"No?"
"Giving you a big hug!"

I jump to my feet and squeal as he bears down on me, and then quickly dodge, snatching up my wand.
"James Potter! Don't you dare!"
Sprinting towards the door, I burst out into the corridor, and tap the door with my wand, effectively locking it.
"Take a shower James!"

Fifteen minutes later, he's ready and we set off down the path to Hogsmeade, hands intertwined, where we bump into Sirius .
"Sirius!"
"Alright, mate? Hey Lils."
"You haven't got a date this time?"
"Nope, but's there's always next time. Besides, Mar said she's walk down with me."
He winks at me, and waves as he slows down to walk with the dark-haired girl.

When we reach Hogsmeade, I immediately drag him towards Honeydukes.
"Come on, come on, come on! We have to go into Honeydukes!"
"Yes, but I want to go to Zonko's!" He whines, and I stick my tongue out at him.
"Too bad."

Then everything goes wrong.

There's a bang, and then a yell, and the air is filled with curses and hexes and shouts and I hear someone yell "Death Eaters!"
Then James yells something, and then I'm knocked backwards, and the air is full of smoke, and I call for James, but he's not there.
I hear James yell, and then someone else shouts, and there's a high-pitched laugh. I stand up unsteadily, narrowly missing a curse that comes flying at me, and all I can hear are the screams. Coughing, I reach for my wand and I can't believe it because it's not there.

I'm lost in the middle of a battle and the screams are deafening and I can't see anything and I can't find James.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call a cliffhanger.
