Life Givers

Death Notes

A young redheaded girl put her head in her hands. She'd just entered the Great Hall, which was absolutely filled to the brim with chattering students. If she didn't have a headache to start with, she certainly did now.

"Lily!"

The girl looked up to see her two best friends rushing over to her side.

"Oh my gosh, Lily! I am like, so glad to see you!" the dark-haired girl said with excitement, "You have no idea how boring my summer has been without you!"

Lily took a moment to step back and take a look at how her friends had changed over the summer. The dark-haired girl, Vicky, had a gorgeous tan, still in athletic form. The other girl, Cari, was almost the exact opposite of her; she had strawberry blonde hair a little more on the red side that went down to collarbone, pale with a light sprinkling of freckles and was in nice form, although nothing compared to Vicky. Lily smiled as she thought about them…

"Sooo, your summer was…." Cari questioned, using her hands for emphasis.

Lily lost her train of thought, and blinked a couple times to understand the question. "Okay, considering my parents only had time to talk to me like twice this summer and my sister yelled at me every time I saw her. You?" She grinned, slightly annoyed.

"Oh really, well I didn't have a minute to myself, with my step brothers constantly bothering me and telling me dumb jokes. Not to mention that my parents wouldn't let me go anywhere besides the library and the store!'

Vicky rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips. "Now, now children, let's get along." she said in her best McGonagall voice.

"Why haven't you owled us anytime this summer?" Cari asked shrewdly.

Vicky grinned mysteriously, "You'll never know."

Lily and Cari rolled their eyes, knowing that as soon as they were alone, she'd tell them every gruesome detail.

Cari suddenly nudged Lily painfully hard in the ribs and nodded towards their left. Lily looked up to see a very agitated Hispanic girl walking their way.

"Aw man, what'd we do this time! I mean, really, we've only been back five minutes." Vicky said in an exasperated tone.

When the girl reached them, Vicky stopped complaining and they all leaned in to listen.

"We had an emergency Life Giver's meeting without you! Where have you guys been! I swear, finding you is like deflating Potter's ego, impossible!" The girl whispered, apparently, very annoyed.

Cari elbowed Lily yet again. She was sure she'd have a heavy bruise the next morning, to speak before Vicky blurted out some cocky comeback. "What's going on Nina?" she asked worriedly, "Is something wrong?"

Nina sighed in a resigned way, "We've got another."

Lily groaned. "Already?" she whined.

Vicky spoke up in an unusually serious voice, "When do I start?"

Nina looked over her shoulder at a rather loud and obnoxious boy. "Now."

Vicky's eyebrows shot above her hairline. "You're kidding, right?" she pressed anxiously, but Nina was already leaving. Cari handed Vicky her utility belt and nodded solemnly. Vicky sighed and like smoke, disappeared into the crowd.

Vicky returned later that day, during their welcome back banquet looking as somber as Professor Binns. She stopped at the Hufflepuff table and spoke to a brunette. The brunette wrote down everything she told her in journal like book. Vicky then walked over to the Gryffindor table. Cari cocked her head to the side, asking the silent question on all their minds. Vicky shook her head sadly, causing Lily's head to droop.

"I spent the entire day stalking him, gathering evidence, but I found nothing so say he isn't a Death Eater."

She played with her food a little, feeling her friends' gaze on her head. She took a deep breath, stood up, smiled wearily, and slipped out of the Great Hall.

Cari stared at her food for a bit, and then looked up at Vicky. "She could have at least stayed for dinner." She remarked sadly.

"But you know how much doing that hurts her, she hates being the bearer of bad news."

Vicky said consolingly.

Cari snorted in her food, "I'll say; not one has ever passed. He's dead meat."

Vicky sat, thoughtful for a moment. "I know we've yet to be wrong and stuff, but still, it seems a little weird to me. I mean, it's not like he's an open hater."

"Yeah, but it's the extreme opposers that you have to look out for. You never know if what they say is truly what they believe or it's just a cover for what they really believe."

They both sat, silent in thought, food long forgotten.

At that moment, Lily was entering her dormitory; she had business to take care of. She carefully picked up a piece of her most prized stationery and placed it directly in the middle of her desk. In order for her to keep her own identity sealed, she had to countercurse the paper, making it untraceable. What were all those charms? Oh, I remember. She sat down in her seat and pondered what to write, it's not easy sending this kind of note. Now a thank you note or a happy birthday card I can do, even a notice of complaint but this is much different. Lily twirled her quill in her ink, thinking of where to start.

I'm sorry to inform you…

No, that sounds like someone's died. Hmm…

Please excuse this notice…

Definitely not. Lily tried to think of exactly what tone she was trying to get across. Ahhh…

Read carefully, for your fate is in your hands.

Perfect.

Lily spent the rest of her evening finishing her letter; ruining several pieces of paper in the process. She was quite proud of her letter when she finished. Her pride vanished though, as soon as she remembered why she was sending it. As Lily stood up, she sighed raggedly. She pulled on her cloak to walk to the owlry.

As she walked through the halls, she paused to look at her reflection in one of the many suits of armor. Deep red hair that's constantly frizzy and electric green eyes. They were set on a face pale as the moon, with scatterings of dark freckles here and there… well okay, everywhere. A short 5'4" with an average weight; Lily rolled her eyes, same as sixth year. It's not that she didn't like her appearance. On the contrary, she was quite grateful for her look. She still felt something was missing though; she didn't know what, just something.

By the time she had come to, Lily was all the way to the owlry. She walked to the back, where the school owls were kept. She couldn't really use her own owl; it'd be like painting a gigantic orange arrow on the letter, pointing straight at her.

She found a rather mean looking owl that was completely black, except for the whites of his eyes. She determined that he would get her message across and tied her letter to his leg. The bird looked at her for a second, apparently deciding that she was good enough to listen to, and flew off.

A boy with dark brown, messy hair was sitting down at the Gryffindor table beside a boy with golden-blonde hair. Across from them sat a boy with long, sleek black hair. All three had nicely toned bodied from playing quiditch. James Potter and his friends, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were wolfing down breakfast when the morning post arrived. Sirius was very disgruntled when a small white letter dropped on his food.

"James Harry Potter" he read, spraying Remus and James with food. Remus scrunched up his nose in disgust as James grabbed his letter. When he started to read his letter, he paled quite visibly. Both his friends leaned over his shoulder to read James's letter.

Read carefully, for your fate is in your hands.

James Harry Potter, you have been convicted of being a Death Eater. Death Eaters are the evil, horrid people who do Voldemort's bidding. They partake in muggle torture and killings, plundering of cities throughout Britain and are trying to help Voldemort purge the world of all muggles and muggleborn witches and wizards.

Being a Death Eater equals the death sentence; but as the Americans say 'Innocent until proven guilty.' You will be given a total of twenty-four hours to prove yourself innocent by any means necessary. Someone will watch you and recorder everything you do. May I suggest you hurry?

We are the Life Givers. You have never heard of us because no one has ever proven themselves innocent. Last year alone, we rid the school of five Death Eaters. Perhaps you know them, Regulus Black, Orion Lestrange, Artemis Guarde, Andro Cide, and Bene Cocc. Unless you wish to join their number, you had better get to work.

The Assassinator

Leader of The Life Givers

All three boys stared at each other in horror.

"This has got to be a joke, right?" Sirius asked slowly.

Remus was silent for a moment, "I don't know, look at all of those names. They all disappeared last year and this sure explains why." He shuddered at the thought. "What do you think they mean by 'rid the school'…"

Sirius made a face, "The Assassinator, sounds like they killed, no murdered them." All the boys trembled.

Suddenly, James jumped out of his seat and ran out of the Great Hall. Remus and Sirius were completely startled and it took them several minutes to realize what was going on. James had left to get as much evidence towards his innocence as possible. Sirius and Remus jumped up after him to help.

Only a couple of seats down sat Cari and Lily. Vicky had made a hasty exit a couple of seconds ago for no 'apparent' reason.

"What do you think?" Cari asked lightly.

"Oh, I don't know. At least he's taking it seriously. Regulus Black was the worst." Lily answered in an equally light tone.

"I remember him! HaHa! He went around bragging to all his Slytherin friends about how tough he was and how no one could touch him in his Death Eater glory."

Lily smiled smugly, "He was really easy to pick off too. You'd think that if you had a death threat, you'd stick in a group. But nooo, he goes off all by himself all the time. Freak."

The girls were quite for a while, having nothing to add to the subject.

"Ooo, Did you see Vicky talking to Alice! I heard that she's dating Frank Longbottom now!" Lily said excitedly.

"Ah, they make such a cute couple! I just know their relationship will hold out!"

Lily and Cari continued to gossip on about the new couples.

Meanwhile, Vicky was trailing James, Sirius and Remus around the school on their quest to prove James innocent.

Sirius and Remus had followed James all the way to the Gryffindor dormitory.

"Wow." Sirius said in surprise.

When they finally found him, he was taking everything out of his dresser, draws and trunk. He then placed them all out on his bed and floor; and when he ran out of room, their beds. He was displaying it so the person who was watching him could see it. Once he ran out of items, he walked over to Remus and Sirius (constantly looking over his shoulder the entire time).

"Sirius, I am I Death Eater?" He asked with certainty.

"Of course not! I've haven't doubted you once!" He said aggressively.

Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius's stupidity. "I know with a surety that you, James, are not a Death Eater or affiliated with them in any way." He said in a loud, slow voice. Remus leaned over to Sirius and whispered, "We're giving our testimony to who ever is watching James."

"Oh, I knew that." Sirius whispered back, a slight blush lighting his cheeks.

James was getting very antsy during the whole conversation. As soon as they finished, he bolted out of the room. Remus and Sirius were again, forced to follow him.

As soon as they left the room, Vicky emerged from thin air and looked through his stuff. My, he has good taste in clothes. Ah, now what do we have here… She picked up a small, worn book.

Monday, June 12

My name is James Potter. I am 16 years old and live in Godric Hollow. My mom has given me this book to write my thoughts down in. It's suppose to be 'therapeutic'… right, I sure. But whatever, she said she'll give me 100 galleons if I write in it everyday this summer.

Sirius is calling me,

James Potter

Vicky grinned; she'd hit the jackpot, James's journal. If anything had the info on his activities, it's this. Vicky slipped the book into her pocket and disappeared into the air. A dry click was heard as the door to the boy's dormitory was shut.

The boys were running throughout the school causing quite a ruckus.

"Do you think James is a Death Eater?"

"Uh, no."

"How about you, do you think James is a Death Eater?"

"Course Not."

"Hey Frank! Is James a Death Eater?"

"On my death bed!"

"Do you think I'm a Death Eater?"

"No…"

A large group had gathered around them, trying to figure out why they were questioning people. After a while, even the Slytherins wanted to know what was going on.

"Emily, do you think James is a Death Eater?"

"Nope."

This surprised the Slytherins and outraged them.

"What in the world makes you think you're Death Eater material, Potter?" Snape sneered. His lip curled in revulsion. "Voldemort wouldn't even think about having mudblood-loving scum."

Remus raised is eyebrows in shock. Then a sly smile swept across his face. "You don't think James would make a good Death Eater?" he asked with 'innocence'.

Lestrange narrowed his eyes, "Filth like him doesn't belong on the earth." He said with contempt.

Vicky had appeared behind James, Sirius and Remus. She smiled at Remus's tact; ask the probable Death Eaters and get them to reject the idea completely as proof.

"Yeah, right. Like James would want to join a crappie group like the Death Eater's."

Snape was the first to throw a curse. It narrowly missed Frank Longbottom's face. In retaliation, James threw a nasty one at Lestrange. That triggered several other curses. In less than a minute, it was all out war. Vicky slipped through the crowd and left the scene. No need to get a concussion on the job.

' '

At the end of the of the fight, Sirius ended up with a gash down his arm, Remus had some mysterious boils on one of his legs, James was totally knocked out, and Frank's hand was completely paralyzed. The Slytherins were not quite as bad because Sirius, Remus, James and Frank didn't use dark spells. Lestrange's leg was broken, Snape had bright purple hair and his arm was swollen, Crabbe's hat had tightened over his face and Zambini's feet were five times bigger than they were before. All of the boys received a detention for a week.

When Vicky told Lily what happened the next morning, she ran all the way to the hospital wing. Lily groaned when she saw that James was still out like a light.

"What are we going to do now?" she whispered anxiously, "He can't prove himself if he's not awake."

Cari walked over to his bed and pressed her hand to his forehead. "He doesn't have a fever. I bet we could wake him." She said quietly. "Innervate"

James groaned. Ug, my head hurts… where am I?...

Cari nodded towards the door and the girls slipped out.

James opened his eyes and looked around. "Sirius, Remus!"

Remus and Sirius pulled aside their curtains. Remus looked over at Sirius, "You heard that right?"

"Yeah, I did. Who do you think that was?"

"I don't know… three girls…. Anything else we know about them?"

"Er, I don't think so."

By now, James was completely lost and slightly peeved. "What in the world are you guys talking about!"

Remus and Sirius looked over at him, as though they just realized he was there. "Three girls were just in here, they woke you up because you couldn't prove yourself if you were asleep." Remus said slowly, as if trying to convince himself.

James sat there for a couple seconds before jumping up. "Prove myself! I forgot! What time is it!" he said as he rushed around the room, attempting to find a clock.

"Uh, James, your watch." Sirius said.

James looked down at his wrist, It was already 11o'clock. He moaned. "What do I do! I have barely any time left!"

"Well let's think… If there's anyone the 'Life Givers' would listen to, who would it be…" Remus said thoughtfully. The room was quiet for a couple of minutes as each boy contemplated the answer to Remus's question.

"I know!" Sirus shouted! "If they would listen to anyone, it would be Dumbledore!"

James grinned, "To the gargoyle we go."

''

Vicky smiled as she ran after the boys, they'd found the only way to prove themselves innocent.

Only when Remus, Sirius and James reached the gargoyle that guarded the door to Dumbledore's office, did they remember that they hadn't gotten in trouble yet so they didn't know the password to Dumbledore's office. They had no choice but to guess.

"Licorice Wands?" James guessed.

"Cockroach Clusters?" Sirius tried.

"Pepermint Imps?" Remus guessed.

"Lemon Drop"

Sirius smacked himself in the head, "So obvious! Why didn't I guess that!"

"Well, sometimes what you're looking for is right under you nose." Dumbledore said wisely.

Dumbledore! The boys whirled around.

Dumbledore chuckled, "Sometimes, the best place to hide something is out in the open." He said with a smile.

"There you are." James said anxiously. "We really have to talk to you!"

Dumbledore gestured towards his office. "Let's talk then."

The boys stepped onto the moving staircase and rode it to the top. They took seats facing Dumbledore's desk.

"Now, what is so important that you had to come to my office to talk to me?" Dumbledore asked.

The boys shifted around in their seats uncomfortably.

"We really need to ask you something, but you can't ask why we need to know." James said, looking down at his hands.

"Ah, I see. Well then, let's hear it." Dumbledore said, resting his hands on his desk.

There was another awkward silence until Remus spoke up. "We need to know if you think James is a Death Eater."

Dumbledore stared at James, making him very self-conscious. "No, I don't believe James is a

Death Eater." Dumbledore said quietly.

All three boys sighed in relief. "Thanks!" They said, jumping up to leave. As they rushed out the door, Dumbledore sat deep in thought.

Vicky raced down the halls to tell Lily the outcome. When she reached her, she spoke as fast as she could. "Lily-the-boys-have-proven-themselves-innocent!"

Lily's eyes grew as wide as saucers. "Are you sure!"

Vicky nodded and Lily sighed in relief.

"Lily, it's time for you to talk to them. But remember, you still need to check. It doesn't matter what Dumbledore believes if he has the dark mark." Cari spoke up.

Lily went to her dormitory and locked the door behind her. She opened her trunk and pulled out a beautiful silk white robe. She slid it over her head and pulled out the red mask, mark of a Life Giver. It was a large heart that covered her eyes and nose, leaving her lips exposed. She looked in the mirror, she saw a short girl with dark red hair; wearing a red mask that matched her hair almost exactly in a flowing white robe. Lily smiled. She loved her uniform. She pulled out her wand and tapped her hair, "Albicus." Her hair turned snow blonde, completing her disguise. For once she was looking forward to seeing her target, someone had finally passed.

The boys were in the common room waiting for her or rather The Assassinator. She appeared in front of them (Vicky's belt sure came in handy) and walked up to James. Remus, James and Sirius were absolutely stunned. She was gorgeous, like an angel. James stood tall in front of her, proud and unafraid. Lily reached forward, causing James to flinch terribly but he stood his ground. She touched cheek, rubbing it for a second before sliding her hand down to his shoulder. James stiffened as she caressed his skin until she lifted up the fabric covering his left shoulder. It exposed clean and smooth skin. Lily looked him in the eye and smiled. She slowly started walking backward until she was so far in the shadows that they couldn't see her anymore. Sirius ran forward, but she was gone.

"What now?" Remus asked, shattering the perfect silence.

"I don't know, I just don't know." James said, shaking his head in defeat.

HI Peeps! Hope you enjoyed it! I sure enjoyed writing it! Read again soon and….
