"Some of the most thrilling things in life are done on impulse."- Syrie James

Elizabeth woke up with a gasp as she felt herself being shaken by somebody. Her eyes snapped open only to see Sirius's smirking, bloody sexy face right in front of her own. Her eyes flickered to the side only to see that in glowing green numbers were the time, 4:57am.

She felt much more than mild annoyance.

What in merlins name was he even doing up this early let alone waking her up at this ridiculous hour! She glowered at him causing him to shrink back slightly, but a smirk was still plastered across his infuriatingly awake face. Why the hell was he so happy? It was against her fictional law that one could not be happy before 7 in the morning.

"Sirius have you seen the time?" she harshly whispered, her brows furrowed, Sirius laughed and placed his hands on either side of her, straddling her.

"Of course I've seen the time!" the roll of his eyes was visible in the glow of the fluorescent letters, "But trust me, when you see what I'm going to show you, time will fly!"

Elizabeth reluctantly rolled out of bed and stumbled over to her wardrobe, Sirius snorted and waved his hand.

"Just chuck on a jumper over that, nobody's going to be seeing you!" He began to walk out of their room, "Meet me out the front!"

"Sirius!" she whispered harshly, containing her voice which so badly wanted to be raised, but not doing so as she would awaken the others in the flat. Sirius was grateful she couldn't see him rolling his eyes, honestly, she looked good in anything, he couldn't give two shits whether she was in her cute pyjamas or in jeans and a tee, her butt looked good in both and her face was cute, he didn't care. She was beautiful anyway and he'd totally shag her in any of those get ups.

"Don't worry, pyjamas are punk rock."

Seven minutes later Elizabeth had finished dragging herself to the front of the apartment building. She was so exhausted, after a full day of researching theoretical charms she was exhausted and drained. She could sleep for a week straight and still be tired.

Her eyes snapped open when she caught the gleam of a black motorcycle, shining under the urban lighting ricocheting off buildings and the dim streetlights. Not only was this surprising, but leaning against it was her reckless boyfriend, clad in a leather jacket and dark jeans, with his dark hair loose around his shoulders. He had a helmet under his arm and one on his seat.

Her jaw dropped at the sight, he'd actually done it. He'd bloody done it, he finally bought the bloody bike.

It was beautiful.

Sirius threw the helmet towards her and she had to snap out of her admiration of the bike to avoid getting hit in the face. Thanks Sirius for that.

"Are you ready for the ride of your life?" He gave her a dashing wink and straddled the bike, Elizabeth rolled her eyes and snorted,

"Didn't you say that just…" she looked at the watch that she kept on her wrist, purely out of habit, "Hmmm, five hours ago?"

Elizabeth walked over to the bike and swung one leg over the seat, her heart beating erratically in her chest.

"I did didn't I." He muttered, Sirius twisted his head around so he could see her in his peripheral vision, he gave her a charming grin. "I guess I'll just have to up my game."

Elizabeth snorted as she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his leather clad back. She could smell his scent lingering on his person. God he smelt so good.

Sirius shuddered as he felt her warm breath tingle his neck and felt her press up against him. It was agonising to have her against him and not be able to do anything about it.

"My, my, my, who would've thought Sirius Black would admit to defeat." She shook her head in mock shame, Sirius lightly nudged her,

"Shut up you flobberworm."

Elizabeth laughed, her musical laugh echoing through the empty streets of London.

"Oh wow! Flobberworm! I'm so insulted!"

Sirius's light flush was hidden in the shadows of the street, his only response to her comment was a bark of laughter.

Underneath Elizabeth the bike began to rumble as Sirius revved up the engine with a howl, she wrapped her arms tighter around his leather clad waist as they suddenly sped off down the street. She felt her chest constrict and her heart beat rapidly. Her hair flew back as the wind laced through it. Sirius let out a whoop as they continued to gain speed.

"SIRIUS SLOW DOWN!" she yelled, her voice carrying through the wind. He was mad. They were going way too fast! The police were going to pull them over and they were going to get into trouble with the muggle law and then break the statue of secrecy and be criminals forever. Sirius let out a bark of laughter in response to her panic.

"DON'T WORRY LIZZIE!"

"I AM WORRIED!" she yelled back, Sirius shook his head, she lay her chin on his shoulder and inhaled his scent in order to calm herself. They were going to die.

"COMING FROM THE GIRL WHO CAME OFF A ROLLERCOASTER LIKE SHE WENT FOR A STROLL IN HOGSMEADE!"

"SIRIUS!" She yelled, worry lacing through her voice, "THE POLICE ARE GOING TO CATCH US!"

Sirius turned a corner, Elizabeths heart skipped a beat or ten when she felt her dark locks graze the ground as they skidding around the corner. Just as she got her breathing somewhat manageable, she felt her heart drop as Sirius began to gain more speed, at a quick glance she saw that the speed-o-meter was gaining by the fifties. And they were coming close to a brick wall.

"SIRIUS WE'RE GOING TO CRASH!" She screamed, she felt Sirius's shoulders shudder in a manner that they would when he was holding in laughter,

"NO WE'RE NOT!"

"SIRIUS ARE YOU BLIND, THERE IS A BRICK WALL INFRONT OF YOU!" She shrieked, Sirius laughed and continued to rev up the engine, Elizabeth instinctively shut her eyes when she saw that the wall was upcoming.

They were going to die.

She was going to die because her boyfriend was an idiot.

Was she still dreaming?

Suddenly she felt her stomach drop and suddenly her body was at an angle, her eyes snapped open as she felt herself becoming weightless.

"Sirius." She whispered in shock, they were flying, they were bloody flying. "Am I dreaming?"

"Nope." A smile grew on the adrenaline filled boys face, "This is actually happening."

She gripped onto his waist as they soared across the London sky, the lights from the buildings were gleaming in the dark sky and the free way was beginning to get busy for peak hour traffic. It was beautiful. A thought suddenly occurred to her… how could they be so stupid?

"Sirius, the muggles!" she whispered, as if she was about to be overheard, what if the muggles saw them, they would be breaking the most sacred rule in magical history because they went on a vibrating, petrol controlled joyride.

Sirius waved her off,

"Don't worry, There's a disillusionment charm." Elizabeth let out a sigh, her eyes drifted down and she couldn't help but shudder slightly.

They were so high up.

She instinctively clamped her eyes shut, merlin, they were so high up, it was like being in an aeroplane. Absentmindedly she couldn't help but wonder how they were breathing. If they were to fall, there would be no chance of survival, even with magic, if they were to fall, they would die on impact. The thought of it made her feel like vomiting her entire stomach contents. Sirius turned around to see her shut eyes and contorted face. His face registered surprise.

"Open your eyes, Lizzie." She shook her head against his chest.

"I cant."

Sirius's face contorted in confusion, since when was Elizabeth afraid of heights?

"I didn't think you were afraid of heights."

"I'm not." She whispered, opening one eye and gazing down at the beautiful glowing lights of urbanised London. "I'm afraid of falling."

Sirius shakily let one hand off the steering wheel and moved it to lay on her pyjama clad thigh. He would never allow her to fall, no matter how cheesy it was, he would always catch her, he would always be there to hold her up.

"I wont let you fall." He whispered, as they flew into the dark night, "I promise."

Mary sat resting her head on her hand and with her other hand she traced the face of her teacup, it had been a week. And it had been the longest week of her life. It felt unjust and cruel to compare the two, but the ache in her heart was almost as raw as when it was when Beverley died. She hated the feeling of lonliness and grief that had plagued her.

She felt pathetic.

All throughout her life she promised herself that she wouldn't be one of those weepy, dramatic girls after a breakup, yet here she was. Red, puffy eyes, dark circles, pale skin and greasy hair. She was succeeding wonderfully.

She was broken from her depressing reverie as Marlene, slid into the seat next to her. With her signature red pout bringing out her bright blue eyes which were surrounded by black eyeliner and long lashes.

"Hello hottie." She winked at her and lit the cigarette in her mouth, "So I'm single and you're single."

"And?" Mary replied with a sly smirk, obviously the rumours about Marlene swinging both ways in school were true as true can be.

"And I have a really springy bed."

Mary nodded as if considering the blondes proposal, she wasn't going to but she felt awfully flattered in that moment.

"And?"

Marlene let out a huff, " And you are super hot and your legs are bloody amazing."

Mary smiled at the girl, "And I'm very flattered Mars, and you're extremely beautiful; but, I don't swing that way."

Marlene sighed in resignation and waved her off, "It's all good, don't worry about it!" Mary gave her a grateful smile but just as she was going to reply back kindly, they were interrupted by the boisterous entry from James, Sirius, Lily and Elizabeth, who were carrying shopping bags full to the brim in their arms.

"HO! HO! HO! WE BRING GIFTS!" Sirius exclaimed as they shuffled through the doorway. Everyone looked up at them with slightly terrified looks on their faces. What were they getting themselves into by being given gifts by those two, but surely the girls would've stopped them from doing something.

"What exactly are they?" Dorcas asked sceptically, looking at them with a suspicious eye.

"You'll see!" Sirius laughed and threw the white item at her. She raised an eyebrow at the quadruplets and unravelled the piece of fabric. A delighted laugh escaped her as she saw the print on the t-shirt.

"It's brilliant!" She laughed as she slipped the t-shirt over her head, the group in the surrounding room gaped at the shirts, which were emblazoned with an orange phoenix that was surrounded by flames.

Sirius waved his waved at Dorcas and suddenly the flames began moving on the shirt and the phoenix's wings began to flap. Sparks would occasionally fly across the shirt.

"And even better, you can leave it like that because we put a notice me not charm! The muggles won't see a thing!"

Gasps of amazement echoed around the room,

"Chuck one over Potter!" Marlene laughed, her blue eyes dancing. James threw one over to her and with a delighted laugh she slipped it on. "I love it!"

After the hype settled down the group settled around the large wooden table. Peter looked down at the top and shook his head,

"I knew that I became friends with you lot for a reason!" Sirius rolled his eyes, of course, peter would say that.

"It was for my charm and sublime wit."

Lily rolled her eyes at Sirius's statement, "What wit? I'm pretty sure James is the witty one."

Sirius snorted in response, "You have to say that, his your boyfriend."

Elizabeth shook her head, "No, Lily is definitely right."

In response her boyfriend gave her a wounded look, "I feel so attacked right now, you can't imagine."

Elizabeth's smile widened, showing her pearly whites, "Oh I'm sorry, I won't do it again." She pressed her lips on his in a fiery embrace, ignoring those around them. Sirius's eyes darkened with lust, despite the audience watching them with disgust. Sirius leant forward and whispered in her ear as he traced circles on her lower back.

"I think you need to be punished."

"Oh I think I do." She leant forward and grazed her lips against his, Fabian and Gideon interrupted the two by making kissing noises, the pair split apart reluctantly and gave the two venomous looks.

"Oooo maybe we need to be punished, Fabian!" Gideon laughed as Elizabeth flushed a dark crimson. Fabian snorted and banged his hand on the table, "Oh Master, I think I need to be spanked!"

Elizabeth flushed crimson at the groups lewd jokes.

"Oh, I think you do." Marlene joined in laughing, she clutched her stomach in mirth. "You two are such bad whisperers!"

"Well, we've always been bad at keeping quiet."

James snorted, "Oh we know!"

Elizabeth flushed even darker. Marlene laughed at the pair even harder. Sirius took a cigarette from his jacket pocket and lit it, he exhaled then waved it around.

"Is today tease Sirius day?"

Lily let out a string of laughter, Mary snorted, "Everyday is tease Sirius day!"

Sirius's head fell back as he let out a bark of laughter, Elizabeth laughed into her hand as the whole room erupted into chuckles.

After a few moments the room lapsed into silence, Mary tapped her fingers against the table as they all waited patiently. After a while, Dorcas let out a loud sigh.

"When the bloody hell is Dumbledore and mad eye going to get here so we can start the bloody meeting!"

Marlene banged her head against the table in irritation as the room began the small talk. She let out an exaggerated sigh, drawing attention to herself, taking another swing of her near empty bottle of fire whisky.

"Guys, I know I'm going to say some deep shit but I really need to get this off my chest." She confidently stated and took a drag of her smoke. Cardoroc raised his eyebrow at the rebellious girl and motioned for her to continue. "I really don't want to die anytime soon, but if I do I'd like to say that I really love you guys."

She nodded, only then did the group notice how glazed her eyes were. She had obviously consumed a lot of alcohol, otherwise, she wouldn't be speaking so loosely.

"And it's great to go on missions and kick death eater ass with you lot." She nodded slowly as if agreeing with her own statement. "And if you guys like me, like I like you, can you guys promise that when I die."

She hiccupped,

"When I die, you'll make sure I have a fancy ass grave, with a massive ass angel with big ass wings."

Sirius looked and her somberly and nodded, "Sure Mars."

She hiccupped once more, "Pinky promise?" She extended her finger out to Sirius. Elizabeth smiled as Sirius leant forward and entwined their fingers together. He was so good for her, and sure things at the start between the two girls were awful but after awhile she had realised that it was fruitless to be jealous, Marlene didn't see Sirius as anything else but a good friend and a hot piece of ass.

She leant back in her seat, "Coz, you know guys- I want to stand out in the graveyard." She nodded reassuringly, "I don't want to be a boring slab of concrete, I want to be a fancy ass slab of concrete."

Elizabeth couldn't help but internally sigh, what a life they were living. They were just turning twenty and they were all deciding what they wanted their headstones to look like. Her musings that were rapidly becoming increasingly depressing were interrupted by the arrival of a phoenix Patronus. Dumbledores.

The room lulled as they awaited for the Patronus message.

We were tipped off about a meeting at the shed, new death eaters are being inducted and Voldemort will be there.

The room silenced as they heard the dreaded words, he would be there. They all looked at each other alarmed by the news, anxiety began to plague them all and eat at their insides as hearts began to beat erratically.

Send only the best, I will try to meet you all.

The room erupted into pandemonium.

They should've guessed.

The large group stalked through the woods towards the secret location, labelled the shed. Mary, Marlene (after a sobering charm), James, Lily, Sirius, Elizabeth, Dorcas, Alice, Frank, Fabian and Gideon. Of course, the rest of the order was on standby in case pandemonium broke up, and it most likely would.

Marlene pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger and groaned, "This is bloody unbelievable, I went to the meeting to talk, not end up tracking through shady woods and maybe fight Moldywart with a hangover."

"Well, this isn't exactly ideal for any of us." Mary snapped, carelessly twirling her wand in her hand. Lily turned to the two bickering girls in annoyance,

"Can you two shut up before you alert every death eater to our existence!" James nodded from behind her. The last thing they needed was a failed ambush when Voldemort might be there.

"Ally, right or left?" Dorcas whispered as the group carefully avoided ditches and puddles. Alice turned to the group and sighed, she leant against a tree so her back wasn't unprotected.

"Erm… I think we should split, we only have a small clue about the general direction of the shed, and I mean, it's a forest, in the end we'll end up at the location."

Frank nodded in approval, the group split in half.

Fabian, Gideon, Alice, Frank, and Dorcas;

And,

James, Lily, Sirius, Mary, Elizabeth and Marlene.

The two groups split with a chaste farewell into opposite directions in the woods.

"This is actually getting ridiculous now!" Marlene groaned as she leapt over a ditch,

"I'm finally starting to agree with you." Elizabeth nodded her head as she followed Marlene over the ditch, "I feel like the Shed doesn't even exist!"

"Oh I think it does." Alice whispered as the group came to a standstill. The group stared in amazement at the looming building infront of them. It was huge, almost in similar formation to Malfoy manor. With large, turrents at the top.

The group jumped, startled when they heard footsteps approaching them from behind. They pulled their wands out and spun only to be face to face with their other half.

"Merlin you scared the living daylights out of me!" Elizabeth gasped, placing a trembling hand over her heart.

"You and me both!" Dorcas laughed and embraced the girl. "So this is it?"

Sirius nodded, "And we thought it would be a dingy hut." He snorted, Frank furrowed his brows in concern,

"Now we have to change the entire plan." Marlene looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

"It looks pureblood, and I mean, let's face it, all the manors are set out the same." Sirius nodded in realisation,

"first floor, east wing, drawing room."

The surrounding purebloods all nodded synonymously. For people who wished to stay extremely protected it seemed that purebloods were very predictable.

"Well, how exactly are we going to get in, let alone to the east wing of the first floor?" Mary questioned, whilst tapping her fingers against her thigh.

"What a ridiculous question." Gideon snorted,

"You walk in through the front door," Fabian continued,

"And then you take the stairs." The twins ended, The group broke into assorted giggles at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

Marlene rolled her eyes at the pair, "That's a great idea if you could get within three meters of that door!"

Sirius pulled his wand out of the holster and began stalking to the east side of the manor. The rest of the team followed him with their eyes.

"Pads what are you doing?" James asked curiosity lacing his tone. Sirius turned around and flashed them a lopsided grin.

"You know Prongs, in life there are three ways to get things done, the right way, the wrong way and my way." The group synonymously rolled their eyes in mutual agreement of Sirius's idiocy.

"No offence Sirius but in this situation, I'd like to follow the right way."

"Not when my way is better than the right way," he turned and winked at the group, "We're going to climb it."

The amazed group followed the tall, dark haired boy to the east side, with curiosity.

"You know it's going to have wards around it you stupid prat." Lily laughed, Gideon snorted at her statement.

"And that proves you're a muggle born Lils." Lily looked at him affronted, as did the rest of the group.

"Excuse me?"

"Not like that!" Fabian waved her off, "My brother is useless at speaking obviously. What he means is that us, inbred, snobby bitches do not think that some rebellious gang would climb up our castle and sneak in."

"You don't own a castle, Fabian." Marlene shoved him in the side, causing him to give her an exasperated look.

"That is beside the point." Fabian rolled him eyes, after a while, they reached the wall. Sirius waved his wand in the direction of the first-floor window.

"What was that?" Elizabeth asked her boyfriend, Sirius turned back.

"Homenum revelio, I just wanted to see if there was anybody directly near us, they're about two corridors away." Sirius then put up a silencing charm and conjured up a rope to hook onto the hook near the window. He then began to expertly pull himself up the wall using the rope.

It took nearly fifteen minutes but eventually, everybody got in without many hiccups.

"Point me." Mary cast and the group followed her until they were outside of a large, mahogany door. They all paused and hid behind pillars and listened into the room which was not silenced nor impervious. They had to be careful with this.

The group stood still, awash with revulsion and fear as they heard a voice from a man they had only heard so much about, it was cold and calculating and send shivers down their spines.

Elizabeth could feel the blood draining from her face as her free hand clenched around Sirius's free hand. She felt the hair on the back of her neck go static and felt a shudder go down her spine. It made it all so much more real to hear the voice of the man behind the pages of the daily prophet and whispers in the streets.

"Welcome my Death eaters, both old and new. Today is not a day where we gather to discuss our next step in our plans, but it is a day of celebration."

The group of young adults looked at one another as they heard the deep, rich voice echo through the elaborate drawing room.

"Today we will induct a new generation of death eaters into our ranks. We will welcome them as they fulfil their destiny and help preserve the magic and pure blood in our wizarding community! We are dying out, and we are the last hope for the continuation of our society!"

Lily shook her head as she heard the cheers echoing around the drawing room, it was disgusting how all these people were being indoctrinated in such a pathetic way, that they were weak minded enough to believe the bullshit that that tyrant was spewing.

"We must rid our society of Mudbloods, half-bloods, blood traitors and rebels alike for peace and harmony, we must rid our society of the idea that magic is light and dark so we can rid ourselves of a ridiculous notion that magic is good and bad!"

"This is pathetic!" Alice growled, "If that monster is truly as purebred as he makes himself out to be, I am ashamed to be a pureblood!"

"Here here." Sirius muttered under his breath causing Elizabeth to squeeze his hand. The group silenced as the cheers died down, they strained their ears expecting for the monster to speak, but he didn't. The group fidgeted as they felt panic sweep up internally. Marlene quickly took the ring on her thumb off and pressed the button that was inside of it. The group looked at her curiously.

"Benji made it." She shrugged, "One press is stay on standby, two presses are okay we may be in danger and three is get the fuck over here before I die." The group nodded slowly in silence before Dorcas spoke up.

"Did you press two or three?"

Marlene cracked a smile and snorted, "Two, of course, three is for later."

It took a minute of uncomfortable silence for the man to speak once more.

"It has come to my attention, that today we have an unexpected visitor."

The group held abated breath, Mary turned to Marlene, "I think it's about time you press three times."

Marlene nodded, seemingly considering the option, "I think I'll give it another minute."

"I swear to merlin If I die because your stubborn arse decided to wait another minute I will come back from the dead and ak you myself." Sirius growled at Marlene, sweat beading at his forehead as the anticipation nipped at him. He felt dread pooling in his stomach as he heard the tyrants cold voice reverberate around the shed's drawing room.

"Or shall I say, visitors…"

"Marlene!" Gideon growled this time Marlene looked up at him and sunk her tooth into her red painted bottom lip. She nodded and pulled the ring off and pressed three times.

"It'll send an automatic signal of our location, five minutes tops."

"Five! We could each die seven times over in the span of five minutes!" James exclaimed slowly, Marlene rolled her eyes as she slipped the ring back on and held her wand in her hand.

"You give yourself far too much credit Potter, you'd die fourteen times over in the span of five minutes."

"Well don't be shy." The voice slithered through the air, constricting their hearts. "We'd be honoured to meet your acquaintance."

The group froze in their spots, this was it, they were really going to stand in the same room as Lord Voldemort.

Elizabeth felt all her organs seize as fear gripped her. She turned to Sirius and quickly pressed a kiss on his lips. It didnt matter that they were possibly walking to their deaths, or that they were going to see the most dangerous man in the magical community. She just needed to feel his love, and to feel his passion and softness. She needed his strength.

"I love you."

They didn't even have a chance to open the door by themselves and enter with dignity. The door flung open, and standing in the centre of the room was the man of their nightmares, beckoning them closer. The group strode to the middle, keeping their wands in their hands as a show of rebellion.

As the group got closer and closer, Voldemorts features became more pronounced. Standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by his followers was a tall man, easily over six foot, silky dark locks fell around his shoulders and it was obvious he had a muscular build underneath the lavish, yet practical robes he was clothed in. This was where his attractiveness stopped. The man had a cold smirk on his face that looked unnatural on his waxy features, he had a sharp jaw and defined cheekbones. He showed the evidence of once being a very handsome man. However his nose was now misshapen, appearing to sink into his face, his eyes were stained red, looking bloody and lifeless; and if she looked closely enough they reminded her of a snakes eye. He fingered his white wand with his unnaturally long fingers.

He was horrific.

"Ah, a group of filthy Mudbloods, half-bloods and blood traitors. Whatever shall we do with you?"

They were at the mercy of Lord Voldemort.

She could only hope that help arrived, and soon.
