Chapter One
Peter Pettigrew was dead.
James Potter was at the funeral with Remus and Sirius mourning over the lost Marauder.
Most people weren't crying.
In fact the only people who were crying were Lily and the other Marauders.
Lily stumbled around holding Harry tightly she wanted to make sure he was safe.
Harry struggled a bit in her arms but relaxed after a while.
James had insisted on coming even though he knew it wasn't safe or smart to do.
Remus Lupin had his arm around Sirius Black who was crying into James shoulder.
One of their best friends had died.
Lily looked around to see who had come to the funeral.
She suddenly felt sick Crabbe, Goyle, Malfoy, Snape, and other people who were almost certainly death eaters.
She tightened her grip on the baby boy she held in her arms.
She had to keep him safe, that was the goal.
She didn't want to say anything to her husband but how could she not?
Peter had been the traitor that was in the Order.
She would wait until they were safe at home again.
When the funeral was over they apparated into their home and put up the enchantments so they were safe.
"James," Lily whispered questioningly.
"Yes Lily Flower," He asked with a tear filled face.
"I know this may not be the appropriate time to bring it up but most of the people there happened to be," Lily couldn't finish the sentence.
"Death Eaters," Came a voice from behind them making them jump.
No one should know where there house was except their secret keeper.
Lily whirled around and pulled out her wand to defend herself.
"SIRIUS!" Lily yelled wand still raised "Don't EVER Do that again."
She was pale as a ghost when she sat back down on the little arm chair in the corner.
He smiled sadly and sat down on the sofa. "I think we figured out who in the order was the traitor."
"Of course he always liked stronger bigger wizards to be on his side," James said very slowly.
No one in the room could believe it but it made so much sense
"You know I was going to suggest a change in secret keeper, to him," Sirius said looking down.
If he had convinced them to change secret keepers they would die, Harry would die.
"Well I'm glad you didn't," Lily smiled weakly; she had indeed begun to trust and like Peter.
Peter seemed to be one of the nicest most dedicated people in the order so obviously no one had expected him.
"I can't believe I blamed Moony."
Sirius had been very convinced it was Remus Lupin who had been the traitor.
Remus had kept disappearing for months at a time.
"I can't believe it was a Marauder." James said in complete awe.
The Marauder code to never betray a friend had been broken to an extreme level in this circumstance.
"Us Marauders are the cause of all the trouble," Sirius said with a very fake high pitched laugh.
"Ex- Marauder," James said.
"So Sirius can you take Harry out on Halloween, we know it's dangerous but he deserves to trick or treat."
Sirius laughed his signature laugh.
It was his real laugh.
He threw his head back and his hair fell swiftly over his shoulders.
The laugh was more like a dog bark mixed with a hiccough.
James laughed as well.
His laugh was much more forced because he, Lily, and Harry could have died if Peter hadn't first.
"Trick or Treating is such a muggle thig."
"I know but please Sirius I want a night alone with James," Lily pleaded with eyes that were so desperate, so needy that no one could say no.
"Fine Merlin knows you two deserve a night alone after all this protecting," He said still laughing at her.
"Lily Potter," James smiled putting his last name with his wives first "I Promise to make Halloween night MAGICAL!"
"James you are a wizard anything you do is magical," She laughed and pushed him.
Sirius laughed at the two of them.
"Imagine what you would've thought if people had told you that your lives would be like this four years ago?" Sirius smiled.
"I would have laughed or hexed them," She smiled.
"More likely hexed them you wouldn't have stood for them saying WE'D Be MARRIED." James smiled.
"True," She sighed.
She imagined if someone had told her this four years ago.
If someone had told her she'd be married to James Potter with a child and they were in hiding cause Voldemort wanted to kill them because of a baby she would have laughed like crazy.
The entire idea would have been like some sick joke.
But wasn't that her life?
Some sick joke.
"Lily you have no idea how lucky we are, even though one of my best friends died he was the traitor, and Sirius would've given us a good enough reason to change secret keepers," James whispered sadly.
"I know James, I know but we are gonna be safe," Lily smiled, "Harry will be safe."
"I Think you should change secret keepers though," Sirius said.
"To whom?"
"To Moony of course he was really upset thinking you didn't trust him," Sirius smiled.
"It was you who didn't trust him," James said.
All of a sudden Harry started to cry from his crib.
"I'll go see what's wrong," Lily sighed.
"Prongs mate you should change secret keepers," Sirius said.
"Sirius I trust you more than anyone in the world I refuse to change secret keepers."
Lily came back with Harry wrapped in her arms feeding him a bottle.
She rocked him gently back and forth on her shoulders and whispered to Sirius and James, "Sirius there is no way we are changing secret keepers I trust Remus but he is gone half the time he could have things tortured out of him."
"Mommy's Right," Harry Spoke not really knowing what was going on.
"Awww," The three adults cooed over Harry's statement.
"There Harry even agrees so we CAN'T Change secret keepers."
The three finally agreed to keep Sirius secret keeper because Harry was always right in his parents and Godfathers eyes.
Later they went to an order meeting.
"Moony I'm sorry for accusing you," Sirius said looking down embarrassed.
"It's all right Padfoot," Remus said.
"Well Voldemort is getting even stronger and though he is losing followers he is also gaining them we cannot trust anyone, Not even our closest friends. We need to be brave be strong and be united and take him down."
There was a murmur of people agreeing in the crowd of the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Dumbledore walked into the meeting with someone familiar at his side. Lily, James and a few others gasped in shock.
"For those of you who do not know this man he is Severus Snape, He will be our double agent like Pettigrew was Voldemort's. I do trust him and I do believe he will do well for us."
Dumbledore took out his wand and with a flick two extra chairs showed up at the table which was made a little larger. He motioned for Severus to sit down on one of the chairs and Dumbledore sat in the other. The meeting continued on as usual except James kept stuttering when he spoke. The meeting was coming to a close and Severus stood up and spoke.
"I happen to have inside information and it so happens Voldemort has 6 Horcruxes. I know where two are but the others I am completely unaware of the location. One of them is Helga Hufflepuff's Cup in the Lestranges vault and the other is his snake Nagani."
Dumbledore smiled at Severus, "Thank you Severus this information may help us to finally put a stop to the war."
Severus looked down awkwardly and muttered something along the lines of "I don't know where all of them are I can't be helping to much."
A/N : So Peter Pettigrew is DEAD? Yep I killed him :D! Honestly even me (Who is Team Voldemort all the way) hates Peter. If anyone likes Peter please tell me in your review!
