A/N: Heehee. New story. I actually have plans for this one. That's
always a good thing huh? Yupo. Well, I think that I should say the usual
now. I really like reviews and stuff, duh, and I always am open to
suggestions that will improve my grammar or deepen storyline. Thanks!

James Potter was sitting on (yes, 'on') the table in the backyard of his house in Godric's Hollow. He leaned over to coo at his son who was currently having his diaper changed. James finished the dirty work and picked up Harry and swung him over his head. Harry squealed with delight and waved his arms around.
"Fwie, Fwie!" Harry yelled out.
A head poked out of one of the windows in the house. "James! You know that it's not safe to be outside. Come inside this instant!" Lily yelled.
James looked over at Lily. She was mad. If there was one thing that James knew about Lily, it's that when she is mad, you do exactly as you are told. Before anyone could say 'Hogwarts' James was next to Lily in the kitchen, Harry tucked under his arm.
James smiled. "Ah come on Lil, Harry needs to have some fun." He stopped smiling and put on a serious face. "Besides, we don't know when the next time when Harry will be able to go outside will be."
Lily sighed. "I know. Speaking of that, Sirius should be arriving sometime soon to perform the Fidelius charm." She turned back to finish cooking dinner. "And don't hold Harry like that," she added as an afterthought.
"I know," James said, ignoring the latter comment. "Let's go into the sitting room and watch for him." James turned around and let out a yelp. Sirius was right behind him.
"Hi James!" Sirius blurted out very loudly, as if he was happy to be there.
"Sirius! How many times do I have to tell you, DON"T APPARATE INTO OUR HOUSE! You could at least be a normal person for once and Apparate outside and then walk in the door. But NoOoO, you don't do you. Don't you know how to be polite?" Lily told off Sirius while waving a dirty spatula at him.
"Ahhhhh," Sirius screamed with mock fear, "It's the Spatula of Death!" Sirius began to run around the house screaming and waving his arms.
Harry gurgled and tried to imitate Sirius, but his dad wouldn't let him go so he began to cry. Lily swept over and took Harry from James. She scolded Sirius for acting like a five year old then ushered everyone to the lounge.
The lounge was a nice large room with a homey feel. A large fluffy couch faced a very big fireplace. Two matching chairs were on either side of the couch and a small coffee table was placed conveniently in the middle of all of them. There were several issues of the Daily Prophet and Hogwarts Alumni Monthly Newsletter piled neatly on top of the table. Sirius choose one of the chairs to sit in and James and Lily sat next to each other on the couch, Harry still in Lily's arms.
"Sirius, are you ready to perform the charm? We should do it quickly so that you can get to your hiding place," James said.
Sirius looked towards the fireplace and mumbled something under his breath. Then he turned back to James and said, "I thought that it would be better if we could use someone else. I mean, I am the most obvious choice, not to brag or anything. Wouldn't it be a good idea to use someone that nobody would suspect?" Sirius looked at James with a look of worry in his eyes.
James looked taken aback. "But Sirius, we've been over this before. Lily and I don't really feel comfortable with anyone else." James told Sirius. James looked at Sirius and sighed. He knew it was a good plan, but didn't feel like it was safe. He looked towards Lily. Lily looked down at Harry and back at James the nodded.
"Fine," James agreed. "Who did you have in mind? I don't think that Remus is up to it because of . . . you know, and I don't know if Peter can keep a secret."
"I was thinking Peter," Sirius said. James stared. "No one would suspect him until it's way to late to get him. I can distract them in the meantime and take all the Death Eaters on a wild goose chase. No offense Lily," Sirius put his arm up to block the pillow that Lily threw at him.
"I don't know Sirius," James said carefully, glancing over at Lily. "It has to be either Peter or Remus who is the spy. I don't think that either of them would do that, but someone close to us is giving Voldemort information. I refuse to trust either of them until we have solid evidence of who it is."
"I know but you have to trust me James. Remember when we went to the cabin just last month? Only Remus knew about that and we were attacked by those Death Eaters." Sirius was talking very quickly now to avoid interruption. "Then the week after that we went on that flying trip to Romania to the Quidditch game. We were completely vulnerable then but no Death Eaters attacked. I didn't tell Remus about that, but Peter knew. All the other evidence points to Remus too. I really don't think that's it him, but it can't be Peter either. I know it doesn't add up right, but one sum is still much bigger then the other."
James and Lily shared a secret look with each other. They had been discussing this exact thing the night before. Lily broke her gaze first and looked down at Harry, who had just fallen asleep.
"It's a good plan. I agree. James?" Lily waited to see what James would say.
"Sirius?" James said. "Let's do it."
A/N: Dun Dun Dun . . . . . What will happen next? What will happen to James and Lily? Will they survive? Stay Tuned!
