Not all diamonds shine --August 10 1978

So it was my first day on the job at St. Mungos. I was so nervous, James said that it was safer for me to be here. I was on high alert as one of the other girls was telling me. Since the rise of this dark lord person the hospital has been full capacity almost consistently. Jane was telling me about the patients I was going into the first patients room. " Hello, I'm Lily." I said as I introduced myself to her as she looked pretty beaten up. " So, we're going to keep you on some mild pain killers to help with your ribs. You drank the skel-o-grow?" I asked her as she nodded pointing to the empty cup.

I could not believe that Lily was going to St. Mungo's. Obviously she could do whatever she wanted just like I was getting into the aurors office with dad, but still. It just seemed off with everything going that there was some normalcy. I had given her a kiss and went to pour some coffee. Dad and I had a late night with people just being frightened.

We were outside waiting for the word from the Dark Lord as we waited to ambush St. Mungos. I wanted to get in there. I was anxious waiting to prove myself I would take as many lives as the dark lord wanted. Or he wanted to have healers available for his disposal. Looking to the others, " This is going to be fun." I said with a grin.

We stood on the farthest side while still overlooking the hospital. " I want some alive. We will have a hospital for our people. Just take out the Aurors that will come if an alarm is sent off." I told the nearest person beside me. Smiling as I saw my group surrounding the hospital. " Go." I said.

I smiled at my Lord, knowing that this was just the beginning. I could not believe it; one of our first dramatic takeovers. I looked over at my younger cousin and noticed he was a bit paler than normal. He would be fine. I wished we could do more than just aurors, but they would suffice for torture.

I looked over at the Dark Lord and could see the darkness that he truly was. I was close to finding one part of his soul, I was sure if it. The thought of what I had to do weighed me down, but I had to do my part. Even if no one knew the good man I was becoming. This was not about that; it was about conquering evil.

When the Dark Lord have the word and everyone bounded forward at varying speeds.

She nodded to me as I asked her about the skel-o-grow. I checked the rest of her vitals, everything appeared to be fine. " I'll be back in a little while." I said to her as I smiled leaving her charts on the end of her bed. I headed for the desk when explosions started. The first one rocking us a bit, the second rocked the building as debris fell from the ceiling. Falling on the floor I looked up to the others. " Is everyone okay?!" I asked as more earth quakes happened. What the hell was happening?! I ran into my first patients room. " Are you all right?" I asked her as the hospital was shaking. I didn't know what was happening. I started to hear screams happening. I ran over to the lights as flicked them off. Rushing over to my patients side " Shh" I pulled out my wand as I figured I would try to get a message out to James. Louder screams were coming. Trying to keep my cool for the girl on the bed in front of me. I sent my patronus to everyone I could think of James his father, mother, ember and chloe.

Naturally when James got to the house, he was loud enough to wake everyone. I walked into the kitchen with my hair in the messiest bun possible and I had on a pair of shorts with a shirt I stole from Sirius. James rolled his eyes playfully when he noticed my top and I stuck my tongue out at him. Grabbing some juice, I noticed something silvery coming towards the house: a doe patronus. I looked at James and saw the color drain from his face as it started to speak with lilys voice.

When my lord said go I ran with everything in me. I couldn't wait to prove myself. I was one of the ones going into the hospital and shaking things up a bit. Running in I shot spells at the information desk laughing a I went along the halls as hearing there screams seemed to be giving me energy. Finding a few girls alone. " Well, hello."

I was hoping the others got my message. st. mungos is under attack....I'm hiding with a patient... I was waiting for any sort of sign. Screams as debris fell on me and the girl on the bed. she started to cry out, " Sh....it's okay..." I said pushing debris off her bed as I got her off the bed and over to the wall. Hopefully they'll see an empty bed and think nothing of it. There was another bang and the lights flickered. " Please.."

I had gotten Lily's message. " Oh my god...." Going to Remus, " We have to get to Potter Manor." I told him. " St. Mungos is under attack." I said as I walked out of the room and put on my shoes stealing one of Remus' sweaters.

I had been helping myself to the potter's fridge at the time Lily's voice started going. Taking a bite out of an apple as I walked into the living room as a patronus was in the living room. Hearing the words attack and Lily's voice. I looked to Prongs as fear was written all over his face.

I had been buttoning up a shirt when Chloe came rushing in.  Without a second thought, I stopped what I was doing and slipped into some loafers and snatched up my wand.  Looking at her, I nodded.  We got to Potter manor to see that it was a mess.  James was going nuts while Mr. P tried to calm him down enough to talk a bit of sense into him it appeared.  Ember looked stubborn as all get out while Mrs. P brought in things to make sure everyone had something.  

"Mate," I said to Prongs, putting a hand on his shoulder.  I was always one of reason.  "We need a game plan before just charging in.  It doens't have to be a good one, but we don't want to go in half cocked."  James saw my face and settled slightly.  I was not sure if it was because of what I said or because my furry little problem was close to being on the surface.  The full moon was mere nights away and for those who knew me, they could always tell that it was a little harder for me to fight that other nature.  With the war going on, it was harder and harder to keep the wolf under control when it got this close because it seemed to feed on the high energy and anger and a bit of desire to go out and fight.

The door opened as her and I backed up into the wall. I held her close to me as this death eater near us was looking around and then I heard the voice. " Hello..." he said. I looked up as he was standing over us. He had his wand pointed right at us. I knew who this man was. All to well and he seemed to remember who I was too. His grin became larger as he separated us from one another. Sent me flying into the wall as he turned onto my patient. " No!" I said as I heard the spell. She hit the ground screaming.
