Chapter One
Reminiscing
It had been a year and a half since they had both gone their separate ways.
One declaring that is was the right decision to do for the both of them.
One declaring undying hatred for the other.
Would these simple regulations stay true to both of them?

The wind brewed lightly as the bitter December air filled the old-fashioned streets of the small wizarding village. The sun setting in the distance was no help to the conditions and many huddled closer to their cloaks. James Potter drank the warm butterbeer with a dazed look upon himself. His thoughts were interrupted abruptly as a "pop" filled the air and a handsome, young man sat down next to him.
Sirius Black had chestnut-colored hair with cerulean eyes. He was a tall, muscular man with a nicely tanned skin-tone. He had a charming smirk that could seduce any woman.
"So what's up, Jamsie?" said Sirius.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" replied a stricken looking James.
"And how many times must I tell you I don't listen?"
"Do you think I take you seriously?"
"Haha, very funny" said Sirius.
"I didn't intend it to be," said James.
"Well, whatever… how's auror training?"
After the spoken words, James was unexpectedly lost in a train of thought.
***Flashback***
A young woman was sitting on a sofa in the Head Common Room. She had an auburn mane tousled to her shoulders and sparkling emerald eyes. She was kind, stood up for others and an accomplished student. Lily Evans was a friend to many and girlfriend to James Potter. There she was just thinking with a troublesome look on her face until a young man with messy jet-black hair and hazel eyes framed with black-rimmed glasses came in.
"Hey Lils! Whatcha doing?" said James as he sat on the sofa.
"Oh, nothing it's just that it's almost the end our seventh year and I don't know what I'm gonna do after Hogwarts." said Lily,
"That shouldn't be a problem for you! You have the best grades in our year and you got 7 NEWTS. I'm sure the Ministry will want you."
"Thanks for the compliments but there are so many jobs to choose from! Healers, Professors, Muggle Misuse, the International Magic Trading Standards…" Lily sighed. "But what about you? What are you choosing?"
"Me? I'm going to be an auror and hopefully work with the famous Moody. Why don't you think about becoming an auror yourself? You certainly qualify for it," replied James.
"Isn't it bit dangerous? I mean with Voldemort rising to power and all? Don't you think?" said Lily.
"We'll be working with many of the top aurors. So there's nothing to really worry about. Plus there's more people gathering on our side then his," responded James.
"But I'm still not sure" said Lily in a doubtful tone.
"Well, don't worry because I'll make sure we'll work together," said James then he gave her a reassuring hug and then they shared a kiss.
"C'mon, let's go eat, I'm hungry." said James.
***End Flashback***
"James? James? Hello?!" said Sirius while shaking James by the shoulders vigorously.
"What happen? You completely space out" asked Sirius.
"Oh, sorry. It's just the auror training really stresses me out" lied James.
"Don't worry, you'll pass with the amount of work you're putting into it." said Sirius.
"Thanks, Sirius" said James.
"Smell ya later" replied Sirius
James chuckled and said "Bye" as his friend disapparated out of the pub.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Far off, in the small village of Little Hangleton, a harsh laugh could be heard piercing the hours of darkness. There in a shadowed, unkempt graveyard stood several hooded and masked individuals in pitch-black cloaks. All of them were in an unbroken circle and each and every one staring intently at the center of the ring.
There stood a tall, thin man with long flowing raven robes. His hood down showed a face that could haunt nightmares and envelop any soul with fear. His ghastly, pallid face had wide, blood red eyes and slits for nostrils. He looked straight out of a horror movie.
And he was.
Killing some for amusement, torturing innocents, and controlling minds but... Yet, he had supporters and corrupt power. Lord Voldemort is what he calls himself.
"Tonight I called you to tell you of an organization I have heard is forming among our enemies. The name is unknown to me but I will tell you one sure fact about it. That mudblood loving Dumbledore is operating it," said Voldemort in a bitter voice.
Suddenly he laughed the same icy, high-pitched laugh that could bring panic and alarm.
"Do any of you believe that foolish, defender of commoners will be my downfall?"
The circle suddenly filled with murmurs of "No" or "Never".
"SILENCE!" came the same unsympathetic tone of Voldemort.
He slowly walked around the circle stopping in front of a tall, lanky man.
"So Augustus, you doubt your Master? You try to dispute the truth? You think that a filthy mudblood-loving group will defeat me- The Dark Lord?" said Voldemort ruthlessly.
Rapidly, the man fell to his knees and began kissing the hem of Voldemort's cloak.
"Master… You are the Dark Lord and the most powerful wizard of all time and always will be! No one will defeat you!" mumbled the terrified man.
"Rookwood, I can smell the guilt in your words and the fear in your blood. You will get a taste of what will happen if you ever are again uncertain of me. CRUCIO!"
The man screamed in agony and shook until with a flick of a wand the curse stopped and he was just a crumpled heap breathing heavily.
Voldemort slowly walked to the center of the circle as if nothing had happen.
"If anyone hears anything report immediately to me and you will be rewarded. You may all leave now"
Everyone steadily went to Lord Voldemort and kissed the hem of his robes and then quickly disapparated. After the last man finished he addressed his Lord.
"Master, why have you recruited that mudblood Lily Evans?
"Ahh, yes Lucius. You are the only brave one to ask me that. Since you are my most faithful deatheater I will inform you."
"Thank you, Master." said Malfoy.
"She is a powerful witch and a perfect spy for us. Yes, she is a filthy mudblood but who would suspect the young woman who is one of Dumbledore's favorites? I would rather have her on our side then theirs. Trust me, she will be incredibly useful in future situations." said the drawling voice.
"Will she be able to deceive them?" said Malfoy.
"Oh, she will do much. Trust Me," said the assured voice of Voldemort.
"Thank you, Master" and with that Lucius Malfoy apparated to his manor.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily Evans quickly apparated back to her apartment. When she popped in she saw Bellatrix Black, her roommate, taking off her black robes. Bellatrix had thick, dark hair that fell a couple of inches off her shoulders and heavily hooded brown eyes.
"So, how are you and Lestrange doing?" asked Lily
"Oh, were doing great. Actually he's taking me to Hog's Head for a drink. So I'm going to go, now" said Bellatrix.
"Okay. Actually I might be going on a date later too." smiled Lily.
"We should meet up later then. Bye!" added Bellatrix and she left with a "pop".
Lily took off her black robe and transfigured hers and Bella's into two black books that were simple history books. This was just a procedure just in case aurors raided the place, which happened frequently nowadays. She placed the books on the shelf and walked to the bathroom. She changed in to a jade-green cloak and then brushed her wavy red hair.
Lily waited about 20 minutes until she disapparated out of her apartment into streets of Hogsmeade. She then walked to the bench in front of Honeydukes where she was supposed to meet her date. There she sat down waiting for him to arrive.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
James sat there for a few more moments just reminiscing some of his memories at Hogwarts. The full-moon escapades, playing pranks, and making the Marauder's Map. James sighed. He smiled to himself remembering the good times he had there. Then he recalled his graduation and his smile turn into a frown.
He grimaced at the thought of it and tried to keep in mind the blissful moments but it just kept going back to that graduation day. "Just forget about it already" said James to himself. He promptly paid the bartender and walked out of the pub.
He shifted his eyes to HoneyDukes where he was thinking of buying some sweets for his Mum for Christmas but that's not what kept his attention. It was the woman sitting on the bench in front of it. The same one he hadn't seen in over a year. The same one he was just thinking of a few moments earlier.
And by natural instinct he shouted "Li…….."
But he stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw next.
Suddenly a man apparated to Lily's side. She stood up and they hugged each other. Then they laced hands and walked away.
James just stood there, completely flabbergasted at what he just saw.
You see the man who left with Lily was no other then…
