It had been three days since the Halloween ball. Lily and Lauren had already shared every intimate detail, but were still missing something.
"I think I'm actually missing Raven and Rebecca," Lily admitted to Lauren as they sat on a couch in the Gryffindor common room.
"Me too. Just… Too much is in them. There's such little topic without them. We should patch things up before they get too deep." Lauren said. At that exact moment, Raven and Rebecca entered the room.
"We miss you guys so much!" Raven cried running up to Lily and giving her a hug.
"We got too jealous! We're such snobs," Rebecca said, hugging Lauren tightly.
"Well, nothing can destroy a bond as tight as ours." Lily said, smiling.
"We should so have a girl's night! I have some new toenail polish that turns the color of your mood. It's from a muggle-themed shop that I went to in Hogsmeade." Raven said.
"You see, Raven? You should go out with Remus." Lily said, leading everyone upstairs.
"We are going out! We're going next month because this Friday is full moon. And that would only give me three days to get ready for our date. That is not enough time to even pick what shoes I'm going to wear." Raven explained.
"Huh. James can't go to Hogsmeade either…" Lily said.
"Neither can Sirius…" Lauren said.
"Petey isn't either," Rebecca said, receiving odd looks. "Well, Ash told me that. It's not like I stalk him or anything… Well, I don't!"
"I'm sure… Anyways, why do they have to go to the full moon? They're not werewolves… James would have told me… But then again…" Lily muttered, thinking deeply.
"Well, it's not our deal to figure it out! Let's just have a girl's night!" Lauren screamed in her very girly way. The rest of the night was filled with giggling and laughter from the four seventh year Gryffindor girls, who would soon become a threesome.
"James?" Lily asked at breakfast the next day.
"Yes, love?" He asked, biting into an apple.
"Where do you Sirius and Peter go on full moons? I know where Remus goes, but where do you go?"
James almost choked on his apple.
"Come with me into the hall." James said, pulling Lily's arm. Lily followed James.
"You look tired, Lily. What time did you go to bed?" James asked.
"Oh, we had a girl's night last night… the mafia was reunited and we just wanted to celebrate. But enough about me, where do you three go during Remus' transformation?"
"We- Me, Sirius and Peter- we go with Remus because we are… we're-"
Blood curdling screams interrupted him. They both had their wands out in an instant and they ran into the great hall. The hall was filled with people in masks and robes.
"Death Eaters!" Sirius shouted, pulling out his wand.
"Lily!" James whispered. "Take the young students to the common room, no matter what house they're in!"
"No! I need to fight. I have powerful defensive skills and I'm the top witch at Hogwarts. I NEED to fight. Have Peter and Rebecca do it." Lily commanded. Peter nodded and he and Rebecca began to gather the young students.
"Expellimarus!" Lily screamed at a Death Eater who tried to sneak up on Lauren. Lauren turned around and kicked them in the jaw.
"You damn bastard, try and sneak up on me again!" Lauren screamed. Sirius was at a table near by dueling with no doubt; one of his family members. James was battling three death eaters at once and Dumbledore was battling with the top man- Voldemort himself.
"HELP ME!" Raven screamed, being held down by three unarmed death eaters. Lily pointed her wand at the three of them and screamed,
"STUPEFY! RAVEN! COME HERE!" The men were knocked unconscious and Raven ran to Lily.
"My wand! I've lost it!" Raven cried, wiping her bloody lip on her sleeve.
"There's one on the ground over there." Lily said, pointing to a bench. Raven ran to the wand but in the way was hit by a blood red spell. She dropped to the ground, dead.
"RAVEN!" Lily screamed, tears streaking down her face.
"She's gone, Lily. We have to save Hogwarts," Remus said.
"Are you alright?" Lily asked, hugging him tightly. He was crying, but was trying to hide it.
"We can't sit around, we have to fight." Remus said, blasting spells around the room. Lily nodded and rejoined the battle. She looked over at Dumbledore, who had a very angry look on his face. Lily cried harder, but kept battling. The battle had to be won. She had to do it for Raven.
A/N: this isn't the most angsty chapter… that'll probably be way later. But this is a sad chapter, at the least. Raven is dead, and everyone is going to have to cope with that. From now on I will warn you a chapter ahead on any deaths, of course, I won't exactly tell you who…
