I don't own any rights to this story, just the plot.

Lily always knew that Severus had a secret that he had never shared with her, in fact she knew there was a few that he just couldn't share with her but this one shocked her to the core. How could he keep that he was Potter's brother from her?

An hour previously.

Lily ran off crying. She couldn't believe that Severus had called her a mudblood. He promised her that he would never use that against her and he lied, yet again. She knew that he was no longer the little boy she had meet in the park but she never through he would go that far. Or the Potter the git, would defend her. It wasn't right.

She ran into an empty classroom and just collapsed right there in the middle of the room, questions swirling around in her mind. She had been in the room for she estimated over 40 minutes, questioning everything when she heard two people coming. She looked up wiping her eyes.

"Come on, in here its empty," she heard James Potter say to his companion.

Lily froze, then went and hid in the cupboard. She didn't know why she didn't just walk out, but she was curious as to who he was meeting in secret, though she had no idea why.

"Are you sure brother?" She heard Severus ask and she died of shock. Why in the name of Merlin, would those two meet up? Why would Severus call Potter his brother?

"Yes I'm sure little brother, come on."

Unable to help herself Lilly peeked through the gap of the doors of the cupboard to see James pull Severus into the room.

Both pointed their wands at the door, casing silence charms and charms to prevent anyone coming in or see who was in the room.

The boys sat down, almost directly across from Lily.

"Think she'll forgive me for calling her that?" Severus asked, leaning back into the chair.

James shrugged. "I don't know bro. She was pretty hurt and it's not like she knows the truth of what is happening exactly."

"Then I hope that I get the chance to apologize to her."

"Sorry about before as well bro."

Severus shrugged. "It's ok, it served its purpose. Lucius and Narcissa got me into the group for real now. Anyway I know you wouldn't do that if you had a choice in the matter."

Both boys where silent and Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Alice McKerren, Frank Longbottom, Dromeda Black, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Black and Remus Lupin walked into the room.

Lily rubbed her eyes in shock. Surely she was under the effects of some spell because there was no way that what she was seeing was real. She had to be dreaming.

"So how is progressing?" Kingsley asked. He was seventh year and as far as Lily knew had never spoken to any of them before, but she realised there was much she didn't know.

"Severus is in now. My darling sister wants him more involved with him," Narcissa said, spitting out the last word, leaving Lily to believe she meant him, Voldemort.

"How about my darling sibling? Does he suspect anything?" Sirius asked.

"He has no idea nor do any of them, that the order had infiltrated the student ranks," Lucifer responded, bored.

Severus and James smiled at the same time, their smiles so alike that they looked like each other.

"I know your siblings, and twins at that, but seriously that's creepy how you do that," Remus sighed as their smiles got bigger.

"Bellatrix thinks I'm a coward, just as expected. She cornered me again today and took all my money, again and my notes," Peter said distracting James and Severus.

"Good, that means eventually she'll ask for information on us and you can lie," Frank said and the rested nodded.

Lily tried to get her brain around all of this. What was the order they mentioned? It couldn't have been the notorious order of the phoenix that the prophet kept mentioning that supposedly Dumbledore was a part of. And what about Black's brother and his cousin believing what they wanted them to? Was everything she knew about the people in this group not true? Was it an act? Was she a fool to have believe any other them? Or what about Severus and Potter being brothers? How could she have not known?

"Has anyone heard from the order at all" Alice asked.

Remus shook his head. "They won't message us until Hogsmeade weekend next month. James dad and Dumbledore are nervous we will get caught."

"And only know they realise that?" Dromeda asked in disbelief. "We all said it was dangerous since before we came here."

"We know Dromeda but we can't do anything about it now. Oh how is Arthur doing James?" Narcissa asked a frown on her face.

James sighed, running a hand down his face, his smile long gone. "He'll be ok but Crabbe and Goyle will have it coming for what they did to him. Molly is in hysterics when I visited him before."

"That was low, attacking him right as he was coming out of class," Sirius growled.

"Let me know what you are going to do to him and I'll help," Lucifer replied, a dark glint in his eyes at the thought of someone attacking one of their own.

"Oh trust us we'll let you know, though we apologize now if you, Narcissa and Severus get caught in the middle," Alice replied as all of them through of ways to get them back.

"You realize they can't know why you doing that?" Kingsley asked the voice of reason.

Severus smiled, through it was a cold smile. "Doesn't matter, as long as we do and Arthur and Molly know as well. And Alice if we are involved it doesn't matter, as long as we get revenge."

Lily seriously had to pinch herself then. That did not sound like the Severus Snape she knew.

"Oh I think we should tell Evans, preferably before she curses me or something. She's already on to us that something is going on with every order of the phoenix member here." James said, causally.

"Bu-" Frank, Lucifer and Peter but their hands over Alice's Dromeda's and Narcissa's mouths. Remus looked over at the cupboard then back at them until the girls realised what he meant. He just prayed that lily didn't see that, which luck for him, she didn't.

"Never mind," Narcissa huffed, hoping to cover the awkward moment up.

"Does anyone have anything to add?" Kingsley asked and everyone shook their heads.

One by one they exited the room, checking James' map.

Lily came out of the cupboard shocked. What just happened?
