Summary- Lily and James, years after Hogwarts, meet up in an unexpected place.

Two Years After Hogwarts

After Lily Evans left Hogwarts she applied for a spot in the upcoming Aurortraining class at the ministry of magic. She was immediately accepted, her flawless grades were not the only thing that made her a shoe in for the position, but her will to fight against Voldemort was stronger then many others. Lily's parents were killed when she was only 15, now at age 19 she was no longer sadden by the memory of her parents death, she was angry. She wanted to kill the person who murdered her parents, the one who had taken the only people that cared for her, Voldemort. Her parents were killed by the one known as The Dark Lord, out of pure hatred for the muggle race.

Lily lived in a small flat out side Diagon Alley. On this particular afternoon she was enjoying a cup of tea while preparing for her auror exam the next day. She was brought out of her study session by the knock on her door.

When she got to her door she looked out of the peep whole to see none other then Professor Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Professor, come in" Lily spoke as she quickly opened the door and stepped aside to welcome him into her flat.

"Thank you, very much, Lily and it is no longer necessary for you to call me professor. Seeing as how you have already graduated from Hogwarts." Dumbledore said with a small smile playing at his lips.

"Yes, I know that it is no longer necessary, but I don't think I could address you any other way" Lily responded, "and to what do I owe the please of a visit from my former headmaster?"

"Lily" his tone turning very serious, "I have come to ask a favor of you"

"Anything professor" Lily said.

Dumbledore seemed to have trouble asking favors of his past students, his face turned very serious and his eyes became fogged over in an expression of deep thought.

"Lily, the war with Voldemort is quickly becoming something different then this world has ever seen and it is essential that we have the best of the best out on the front line fighting. This means that many of the teachers at Hogwarts will be needed to leave for a short time to help fight this war. At this time it is essential that the school continue teaching the young witches and wizards to prepare then for their lives outside of Hogwarts. This is why I must ask you to postpone your Auror training and come teach at Hogwarts for the time being" Dumbledore

Lily was having trouble responding to Dumbledore proposal, she had always dreamed of being a teacher at Hogwarts but not at this age. But she couldn't turn him down, this wasn't just for Dumbledore or for Hogwarts, this was for every Wizard and every Muggle.

"Of coarse Professor" Lily spoke quietly.

"Good, you and three will ride the…" Dumbledore started.

"Wait, three others, who?" Lily questioned.

"Why you mean a smart young lady like yourself doesn't know who else I would recruit" Dumbledore looked at Lily the expression on her face showed that she didn't have a clue, "Well let give you a hint, we need a charms teacher, a potions teacher, a transfiguration, and a defense against the dark arts teacher. You have already agreed to be the charms teacher, because I wouldn't put you any where else. So that leaves three other positions." Lily thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"You don't mean" she started.

"You are correct; Mr.Lupin, Mr. Black, and Mr. Potter will be offering their services as well.
