"Lily" my colleague and long time friend Remus calls out to me.

Remus and I had known each other from our years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had always been a good friend despite being one of the infamous marauders who would often give us prefect's trouble with their pranks.

Remus had been the brains of the group. He was the kind, smart, cute, bookworm. He was often the one to devise the plans and could somehow find a way out of any sticky situation. He was great for a meaningful conversation, and to his own dismay was very shy around girls.

Sirius was definitely the body. He was well known around the school for his good looks and womanizing reputation. Though, even I had to admit that he had always been loyal and caring towards his friends.

James Potter was the leader of the Marauders, anything he said went. Much like Sirius, who was practically counted as a Potter, James was extremely good looking and had a bit of a bad boy womaniser reputation. James and I had started dating in our 7th year, after many years of rejections my heart began to warm towards him until finally, I found myself falling in love with him. James and I had been heads that year as well as receiving the position of Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

The last member was Peter Pettigrew. Peter had never really been very useful when it came to conjuring up pranks or performing spells, but he had always been there for the marauders.

But these days' things weren't the way they used to be. After Graduation everyone had been shocked to find out that two members of the marauders had joined the rising forces of Lord Voldomort.

At first most had assumed that it was just some superstitious rumour created by some lunatic, but after an attack on a muggle village in the south of England in which James Potter and Peter Pettigrew had been witnessed using the unforgivable curses it had been confirmed. Peoples hopes had been shaken.

My name is Lily Evans and I am a 21-year-old Auror. I have a highly valued field job at the Ministry and I am highly thought of in the wizarding society.

Remus, Sirius and myself have been working together ever since our Auror training in which Remus was very lucky to due to his condition (werewolf or "Furry little problem" as James had used to put it).

"Lily" Remus repeated "Lily, Moody wants to see us in his office in 5 minutes"

I nodded my head and smiled. The full moon had been 2 nights ago and Remus was still exhausted and wounded badly. Ever since James and Peter had turned to the dark side, his transformations had been even more painful on him and Sirius.

"Remus you look like death itself, would you just go home and rest," I said concerned.

"No use suggesting it flower, you know Moony, wouldn't want to scratch his perfect record" Slinging his arm around my shoulder, I looked up to see none other than Sirius Black himself smiling down at me

"Well, good morning to you too Sirius" Laughing I gave him a light kiss on the check

"Don't you three have more important things to do than block the walkway" A squeaky voice interrupted us. We turned around and were meet with a sudden explosion of pink.

"Aw, Umbridge you know I just wanted to get a look at that dazzling face of yours before I started my long, hard, dangerous day" Sirius said with a charming smile.

The pudgy woman's lips twitched ever so slightly "Right, very well you have seen my face now all of you back to your work" with that she gave a little huff and trotted off in the direction of Moody's office.

"Sirius, don't force me to tell Tanie that you have been unfaithfully flirting with ugly women," I said trying, but failing not to laugh.

"You wouldn't," he said in mock horror

"Mrs. P sends her love, she says you two haven't been to see her recently and she expects a visit soon or she'll go insane with only the elves for company" Remus and I laughed.

"I'll go and see her tomorrow, I get off early" Remus said "Lily we ought to get into Moody's office before we get in trouble," he turned to Sirius " See you later Pad" he turned again and headed to Moody's office.

"Yeah I better be off to, I'm come round for dinner tonight so I can grace you all with my mind blowing presence" he smiled wickedly "bye Sirius" I said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek I headed off to the meeting.

When I arrived there I saw Moody, the Minister of magic and Ryan Hogkin the Assistant head Auror standing around a large table with papers all over it. At the front of the table were 3 seats, 2 in which been occupied by Remus and Dolores Umbridge.

"Take a seat Evans" growled Moody.

I did as I was told and took the third seat, which was in between Remus and Umbridge.

"We were just discussing your next assignment" he began to explain "Lupin and yourself will be taking some troops and tailing a death eater, who is one of You-know-who's most trusted followers. You will be obtaining information about him and reporting it straight back to me"

I was getting rather curious, it sounded rather dangerous.

"This will be, by far, the most life threatening mission you have ever been on" the Minister added

"Sir exactly who will we be following?" Remus inquired

"You're not going to like this Lupin, but I know you'll do the best job you can, you two are my most trusted workers" Remus and I both knew what he meant. We were all members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"You're going to be tracking James Potter" Moody sighed, he knew of our connections.

Simultaneously Remus and I paled and were silent. This really was going to be hard and dangerous; many emotions were going to be stirred.
