This is a new story and I hope you enjoy it. It is set during Harry's third year. There might be slight references to slash. I don't own any of the characters except for the bearded old man in the first chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 1:The Mission

Both me and my wife were apprehensive when the old bearded man called us to his office. The after life was not what we imagined. Lily always believed it would be like the garden of Eden, except not on Earth. Instead it was dull. Yeah you could always talk to dead famous people, I had been talking to JFK recently and Lily liked talking to Shakespeare. However, we had to drop these conversations and head to the office.

The man in the office was dressed in white robes. This gave us the impression that he was very wise. He acknowledged us and asked me to close the door. We sat for a few minutes in silence. I looked around the room. The desk we were sat at was made from walnut. There were pictures on the wall as well as a highly polished mirror. The man coughed and brought me attention back to him.

"Now Lily and James, something important is happening in Britain and I want you two to help find out what is going on."

"But sir, what is going on?" I asked, a look of confusion on my face.

"Someone has escaped from Azkaban and I want you to find out the truth about the escape. Your son Harry might also be in danger and he is crucial to defeating Lord Voldemort. I will therefore send you back."

"But why us, why not Godric Griffindor? He is a lot stronger than us and a lot wiser," My wife asked, her green eyes showing her confusion clearly.

"Because I trust you and I don't think Godric wants to return to Britain. He enjoys sunbathing on the beach here too much. Besides, I think Harry would prefer it if it was you," the man informed us.

"Lily I guess we better get ready." I was stopped before I could leave the room. The man's voice went hoarse and his eyes rolled into their sockets. I thought he was having a fit.

"The innocent has escaped to find the guilty. He has escaped to reveal the truth and reunite the friends and the family. He will succeed in one but not in the other. The two missionaries must help to reunite the friends and protect the boy who lived." The man started coughing and clearing his throat. Both me and Lily were concerned. Lily was the less shocked of us both. She looked as if she knew what happened. She could also see that I was agitated and started rubbing me back. We bid our goodbyes and left the office.

We headed to our bedroom. It was very minimalist and comfortable. Lily was grabbing clothes from the wardrobe and threw them into the open bag. She was oddly quiet and seemed like she had a lot on her mind. I embraced her and hoped this was reassuring. She smiled weakly. I helped her finish packing. We both sat on the bed. We were both thinking about Harry. We didn't know how long it had been since we died. Would he still be a baby or would he be a man? We didn't know but we knew we would soon find out. We left the bedroom and decided to return to the office.

The man was charming a boot when we returned to the office. His tongue was sticking out as he charmed the boot. He was deep in concentration. There was another boot on the desk as well.

"These are your portkeys to take you back. You each grab a boot. I'm afraid that you will have to be separated but, it will only be for a short time." I nodded weakly as I grabbed a boot. I felt like I was being tugged at my naval. I was spinning fast and felt dizzy, when I suddenly hit the ground.

The ground was cool and hard. I could here voices but I couldn't figure out who they belonged to or what they were saying. I sat up. My back was against a cauldron. I could smell that something was burning when the cauldron I leant against exploded. The professor was walking towards me. His dark eyes were glowing with anger. His hair was lank and greasy and he had a large hooked nose.

"Well what do we have here? Potter, what are you doing in my potions classroom? I hope you weren't the one to cause that cauldron to explode." I suddenly recognised the man. My stomach twisted and I shook as I tried to stand up.

"Snape, Snape , Snape. Why do you still look at me as if you hate me. I've been dead for years and you still hate me. Besides I've only just arrived and I don't have a wand, so how could I make that cauldron explode?" I answered a smile on my face. So Snape was the potions master now.

"Get out Potter, I don't want to see your smug face again." He looked as if he would kill me so I walked out. As I walked out a pair of red heads mouthed Harry. This unnerved me a little. I left the room and decided to explore. I needed to find Lily and complete our mission.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will hopefully update both Sirius what are you doing in Forks? And this story. Please read and review.
