Chapter 1: The Potion

Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, Molly Weasley, and Minerva McGonnagal all sat around the table in the kitchen of 12 Grimmauld Place. In the center of the table was a cauldron in which they were all adding ingredients to. Nyphadora Tonks was out gathering what new information on the dark side as she could, and Harry Potter would be arriving any moment with the rest of the Weasleys and Hermione Granger. Professor Dumbledore was out seeking the newest addition to the Order of the Phoenix whose life was just as valuable to them as Harry's.

"We're missing an ingredient," Snape said to them.

"What now, Snivellus?" Remus asked.

"The key ingredient is missing."

"What's the key ingredient?" Molly Weasley asked.

"The blood of the protector that will be using this potion."

"According to the potion instructions, we also need one of her eyelashes," Remus added.

"Oh yes, the potion won't work without that."

"You know it's funny that a potions master forget one of the key ingredients to a very necessary potion."

"Well, it's also funny that you had to living in the shreeking shack for a while just to get one of the ingredients from you."

"Remus, Severus, stop this at once. The both of you are acting like children!" Minerva put in.

"Where is your Jennae anyway, Snape?" Remus asked.

"Professor Dumbledore has went to find her although I would expect you to know, Lupin," Snape answered.

"How long does she have to get here?"

"Fifteen minutes."

A sudden burst of white light filled the room followed by Albus Dumbledore suddenly appearing. The white light formed into the image of the newest member of the order, Jennae Martinez. She was wearing solid white robes and her dark, wavy hair was lying loose and framing her face.

"Sorry, I'm late. I had a bit of work to do before coming here. Molly, would you mind handing me a knife and a cup?" Jennae said.

"I don't mind at all, Jennae, dear," Molly replied setting down a knife and a cup on the table in front of Jennae.

Jennae picked the knife up and cut a slit into her upper forearm causing blood to ooze out of the self inflicted wound. She held her arm over the cup letting it catch the blood flowing smoothly out her arm.

"Remus, it's been a while. How are you?" she asked watching the blood spill from her arm into the cup.

"I'm fine, but Jenn, we need an eye lash," he answered.

"Sorry, almost forgot about that. Just go ahead and pluck one out for me, Remus."

Remus took a hand and gently brushed it across her face. He lifted is back to her eye and gently pulled out and eyelash. She jerked just a little at the sting of the eyelash coming out and moved her hand to seal the wound on her arm. She used her healing powers to seal the slit in her forearm as if it were never there. Remus then dropped her eyelash into the cup with her blood. Jennae took the cup and slid it across the table to Severus who was just about ready to add it to the potion.

"What took you so long, Jenn?" Remus asked as Severus added the contents of the cup to the potion.

"Voldie's scared out of his wits of Harry, and he needs to get his heir ready," Jennae answered.

"His heir?" McGonnagal questioned.

"It seems that Voldie can't secure his line because he can't have kids. He's sterile. So, he's chosen one of the death eater's sons to carry on the line for him as the next Dark Lord."

"Who's son has he chosen?"

"Lucius Malfoy's son is to carry on as the next Dark Lord, Minerva."

"Albus, Draco is a student at Hogwarts. What are we to do about this?"

"I've left that up to Jennae and Severus, Minerva," Dumbledore answered.

"Umm…Professor Dumbledore, sir, are you sure that you want me working with Snivelly on this because you see, Professor, I can handle Draco on my own. I already had plans to get him on our side," Jennae put in.

"Severus is Draco's godfather, Jennae. It is necessary that he is involved in your plans."

"Someone's coming."

"Ah, that must be Arthur with his children, Harry, and Hermione."

"What am I supposed to do? They're not supposed to know about me yet."

"You and Remus can go wait upstairs. I'll send Severus with the potion when it's ready."

"We'll do that, Professor," Remus said standing up and taking Jennae's hand gently.

"Ready, Remus?" Jennae asked.

"I might as well be."

Jennae squeezed Remus's hand softly, and they apparated upstairs to their room. Remus let go of Jennae's hand and took her gently into his arms. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and looked deep into her dark eyes.

"I hate you doing dangerous work like you're doing," he said.

"Remus, I have to. I'm the only one that can get away with it," she replied looking deep into his eyes.

"You know that's how I lost Serenity. I don't want to lose you, too."

"You're not going to lose me. I promise you that."

"What's this plan you have for Malfoy's son?"

"Just a little job for Christiana."

"Oh no. Come on, Jenn. How can you put a job this important on Snape's niece?"

"You forget, darling, that she's my cousin, and her father is a death eater. She's perfect for the job because she's not what she seems."

"You seem confident that she'll succeed."

"I know she will, Remus. That's why I don't want Snivelly involved. He'll try to take Christiana out of this when Merlin knows that Salem is talking with Lucius right now on having a marriage between her and Draco arranged."

"Are you serious?"

"I got it straight from the death eater's mouth."

"Merlin's beard! You've figured out Voldemort and his group of miscrits' every move."

"And don't you just love me for it."

"Oh you know I do."

Remus pulled Jennae closer and pressed his lips to hers. Jennae took her hands and softly wrapped them around his neck as his hands gripped her waist tighter. His tongue slipped into her mouth as he deepened the kiss, but the were quickly interrupted by the loud clearing of a throat. Remus loosened his grip on Jennae as she turned around to come face to face with Severus Snape.

"The potion's ready, Jennae. You've got a job to do," Snape said handing her the vial.

"Thank you, Snivellus. I'll get right on that," she replied before turning back around to face Remus. "I'll be back in a little bit, honey."

She place a soft kiss on Remus's lips and apparated away. She instantly appeared inside the room where the prophecies where kept in the Ministry of Magic. She was standing in the exact spot where Bellatrix Lestrange murdered Sirius Black. She closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. Sirius was here. She felt his presence.

"Come to me, Sirius. I know you're here," Jennae said as white light began to form into the ghost of Sirius Black.

"Jennae? Jennae Martinez, Hogwarts, Gryffindor class of 1987?" Sirius asked.

"That would be me. Are you ready to come back to the land of the living, Sirius?"

"What do you mean, Jenn?"

"I'm a protector, Sirius, and I've brought the one potion that can give you your life back with me."

"Then take me back."

Jennae opened the vial and pour the contents inside over the image of Sirius's ghost, which was turning him into a man as it ran down his body. He was alive again, and he was glad.

"Who sent you?" he asked.

"A few old friends," She answered.

"Remus included?"

"Of course."

"What about Harry? Does he know about this?"

"No, not yet anyway."

"I can't wait to see him again."

"Well, you're going to have to."

"What do you mean?"

"Dumbledore's orders. You're not to see Harry just yet. I don't know when you'll get to see him. Honestly, Dumbledore doesn't tell me much. He just gives me my orders and I follow them."

"So, where are you taking me?"

"Back to headquarters. Now Harry's there, but I've put some major repelling charms on one room to make it appear as just a closet and to hide you anytime someone is around or trying to enter the room that isn't supposed to see you yet."

"What about you, Jenn? What are you doing these days?"

"I've been seeing Remus for a few months now."

"Really? What about your aunt, Maria, who graduated in '80 with me?"

"Still with Salem."

"How is Jason?"

"He's fine. He graduated Hogwarts, a Gryffindor of course. He and Hope just recently married."

"I'm so proud of him. Is he anything like me other than his great looks?"

"Yes, He's just like you. Are you ready to go back now?"

"Yes, take me home."

"Take my hand, Sirius."

Sirius took Jennae's hand as Jennae apparated them into the room that he'd being staying in at 12 Grimmauld Place. She smiled at him and mouthed stay here before feeling the Dark Mark on her forearm burn and apparating away.

Jennae appeared instantly at Voldemort's headquarters now in solid black robes, the traditional death eater wear. She looked around to see that only Voldemort, Wormtail, and Lucius Malfoy were there.

"You called, master," she said bowing to Voldemort.

"Indeed I did, Jennae. You know Lucius and Wormtail," Voldemort answered.

"I do, sir. What are your new orders for me?"

"I have only a few for you today, Jennae. First, I want you to go see Draco. He will be meeting with Christiana soon. Teach him how he is supposed to bed a woman."

"Yes, master. I'll teach him. And my other orders?"

"I know that you followed my last order and got yourself a job at Hogwarts. I want you to keep an eye on Draco and Christiana for me. Make sure they're doing as they're told."

"I will, master. Anything else?"

"Find Severus. Tell him that I have a job for him."

"Of course, master."

"Master, if I may, I would like to give Jennae some instructions on my son," Lucius said speaking up.

"Of course, Lucius. You may speak with Jennae in private about Draco," Voldemort answered.

Lucius led Jennae away from Voldemort and Wormtail before turning around to look at her.

"It was my choice for you to bed my son tonight," Lucius said.

"May I inquire as to why, Lucius?" Jennae asked.

"Because I know you're experienced, Jennae."

"And, if I am?"

"That's the point of you sleeping with my son entirely, so he can gain more experience."

"Then what are my instructions?"

"I want you to apparate to his room at midnight tonight. I assure you that he won't be asleep. I want you to be wearing a lacy, black nighty that shows as much of your incredible body as possible, and I want you wearing only your death eater cloak over it."

"I understand. Tell me, Lucius. Did you only choose me because of how much you enjoyed me?"

"Yes. You wouldn't have became a death eater had it not been for my approval of your bedtime activities."

"But, I was already naked for you."

"And, I'll want that again but only for me."

"Really? I don't remember our lord giving you permission to have me again."

"All I have to do is ask him for one night with you. Don't tempt me, Jennae. I'll do it, and if you don't come to me willingly I'll rape you. Understood?"

"Yes."

"Now go get ready for my son."

Jennae pulled the hood of her cloak over her head and apparated back to 12 Grimmauld Place to give the order an update on what's going on. Upon arriving she was still dressed as a death eater which put some frightening faces on some of the order's younger members who hadn't met her yet.

"Uh…what is that?" Ron asked with a slight studder.

"Relax, Ron, it's just a…what is that, Fred?" George answered.

"Death eater?" Fred questioned.

"Yes, it's a death eater, but relax this one's harmless," Lupin added.

"A death eater, harmless?" Harry questioned.

"Professor, you've lost your mind! A death eater will murder us all, and then Voldemort will be ruling our world!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Relax," Jennae said pulling the hood of her cloak off her head. "I'm one of you."

"Didn't I tell you to relax, Miss Granger?" Lupin asked crossing the room to Jennae and wrapping an arm around her. "This is Jennae Martinez. She's a double agent working for us, but please don't disclose this information to anyone that's not in this room. Got it?"

All the young order members nodded. They wouldn't tell a soul about Jennae.

"There was just a small meeting between a few select death eaters and Voldemort. He means to have his heir prepared tonight. We've got trouble afoot," Jennae said.

"Prepared?" Snape questioned.

"I'll explain that when we get the teenagers upstairs. It's not appropriate for their ears."

"You mean he means to have his heir prepared in the bedroom, but for what?" Remus asked.

"His chosen bride, Remus."

"Who's the Dark Lord chosen to prepare his heir for the chosen bride?" Arthur Weasley asked.

"That's what I'll be explaining once the teenagers are upstairs."

"Voldemort has an heir?" Harry questioned.

"Yes. His heir his the son of one of his most trusted death eaters seeing as Voldemort himself can never father any children."

"So his heir is to be the next dark lord after Voldemort is finally destroyed?"

"You are correct, but that's where we come in."

"How so, Jennae?" Hermione asked.

"We're to put his heir on our side, so that when Voldemort is finally destroyed there will be no Dark Lord."

"What about the chosen bride?"

"A double agent like me. She's, also, the child of a death eater."

"I believe it's now time for all of you," Molly said pointing to Ron, Hermione, Harry, Fred, George, and Ginny. "to get upstairs, and no extendable ears."

Molly rushed all six of them upstairs and to their rooms, and came back downstairs several minutes later.

"Who's to prepare, Draco?" Minerva McGonnagal asked.

"Me," Jennae answered.

"WHAT?" Remus questioned loudly.

"I hate this idea as much as you do, but at least it's not as bad as what I had to do to get into Voldemort's inner circle."

"It's because of that isn't it?"

"I assume so."

"When do you have to be at Malfoy manor?"

"Midnight. I, also, have instructions on what to wear."

"Don't tell me. I don't want to know."

"Did the potion from earlier work?" Molly questioned interrupting Jennae and Remus.

"It worked. He's upstairs locked in his room pouting," Jennae answered.

"Why is he pouting?" Remus asked.

"Because he can't see Harry yet."

"That sounds just like him. I hope he's not planning any crazy pranks to pull on Snape while he's at Hogwarts this year."

"You're bringing him, too?" Snape questioned.

"Yes. Sirius is coming to Hogwarts this year as Maria's dog, shaggy. I'll be to busy training to teach there myself to keep an eye on him, so Maria will have to do it seeing as she's teaching Divination," Jennae answered.

"You're going to be there, too?"

"In case any professor needs a fill in for any classes."

"Oh great instead of removing snogging students out of the broom closets I'll be removing you and Remus."

"Who said we'd be in the broom closet?" Remus asked. "The woman I'm about to marry will be in my room with me not with me in a broom closet. I've got more romantic sense than that, Snivellus."

"You're right, honey, you do," Jennae said. "Now I've got work to do. I'll see you all later."

Jennae apparated out of the room to the one that she shared with Remus. She removed her death eater cloak and tossed it to the bed. This was going to be a long night.
