Year 1981.

Godric's Hollow.

It had been a tiring month for one Remus John Lupin. Going undercover with werewolf packs and acting as if you had nothing to do with wizards was not a joke. Surviving each day was a huge challenge and trying to hide his duties from his best friends was an even bigger challenge! The friends who had spent their entire lives hiding something or the other, whether it be harmless pranks from their professors, Remus' secret from the entire school, or their Order business from the entire world.

But he decided he wouldn't think of such dark thoughts. Tonight he was just going to have fun with his best friends. Thinking this, he knocked on the door.

A woman with flaming red hair opened it. "Remus!" she exclaimed happily and gave him a tight hug. "Glad that you could make it!" she said.

Lily Potter ushered him inside and called out to her husband. "James! Look who's here!"

James Potter was sitting on the sofa with his one year old son on his lap. As soon as he saw his friend, he handed his son to Peter Pettigrew, who was sitting right beside him, and jumped to give him a hug.

"Moony! How are you? And where ever have you been for all this time?" he asked Remus.

Remus couldn't stop grinning at the sight of his old friends and replied, "I'm fine. Sorry, couldn't come earlier; was a bit busy."

He picked up Harry from Peter's lap and missed the worried look that James and Peter gave each other. James couldn't help thinking about the conversation that he had had with Sirius the previous week. Sirius was becoming suspicious of Remus and Peter supported his thoughts. They thought his actions strange and his lack of information didn't help matters at all. But he shook his head resolutely and decided not to let such silly doubts ruin their friendship. They weren't just friends, they were brothers, and you don't doubt your own brothers.

He joined Remus and Peter on the sofa and they all started to reminisce about their school days. Lily, half hidden by the curtains, smiled a little as she saw her husband so animated after such a long time. Being trapped in their own house was not good for anyone and she was glad that finally, they were having some happy moments. But she couldn't help worrying about Remus. He was becoming more and more distant from them, but she could see that it took a lot of effort for him to stay away. She decided to have a talk with him later.

After dinner, James and Peter went to the living room with Harry to play with his toy broomstick while Remus stayed behind to help Lily in cleaning the dishes.

"Dinner was excellent, Lily," Remus said with a smile.

Lily smiled and said, "Thank you Remus for helping with the dishes. I would have asked James but he has already been helping a lot with the daily chores. After all, housework is the only thing that can be done inside this house anymore." she said with a glum smile.

Remus sighed and said, "Everything will be alright soon Lily. The entire Order is working hard. You'll soon be out of this house."

"But I can't help worrying Remus! I worry about Harry and what would happen to him if we aren't successful, I worry about James who is becoming crazy stuck in his own house, I worry about Sirius who is becoming more and more moody due to the pressure, I worry about Peter who is becoming emotionally detached from us and I worry about you Remus, you have become so secretive! You hardly say a word to us about your missions and disappear for months on end!" she took deep breaths to control herself. The tension had been eating her up from the inside and with no one to talk to except James, there was no way she could let out her feelings. She had to be strong for the sake of her family.

"Lily," Remus started.

"Tell me Remus, where have you been?" Lily cut him. "Why don't you come to meet us anymore? Why don't you reply to any of our letters?"

Remus just hung his head. "I can't Lily, its' Order business," he started.

"You might have forgotten, Remus Lupin, but I am in the Order as well!" She shouted.

Remus started getting a bit nervous. An angry Lily was not something he wanted to face alone. But he couldn't just tell her about the packs.

"Tell me Remus, what's bothering you so much? Please!" she said looking up at him.

Remus rubbed his eyes with his palms, "Fine!" he muttered. "Dumbledore has assigned me a mission to go undercover with the other werewolves. He wants me to see how the situation is there and if I can try to convince some of them to join our side." He finished tiredly.

Lily just gaped at him. "But Remus, that's too dangerous!" she said.

"I know Lily, trust me I know." He gave a mirthless chuckle.

"Oh Remus! Why didn't you tell us about it?" Lily asked.

"I was afraid that you might stop me from going there and I would listen to you. I don't want to be with them after so long of trying to prove to myself that I can be a normal wizard. But this is important. And I am the only one right now who could do it." he said.

Lily didn't know what to say. "When do you have to go back?" she asked.

"In a couple of days." he said.

"Stay with us tonight, Remus. It would make us so happy. Please." Lily said.

Remus thought for a moment and then nodded his head in the affirmative. "Okay then." he said.

Lily smiled and they both left the kitchen.

Four hours later, Remus was lying on his bed and thinking about all the events that had happened that evening. How carefree James looked, how happy Lily was, how much all of them had enjoyed being together and just chatting and playing silly games. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even see the ball of light forming just over his head, which was increasing in size every second.

Suddenly, he heard a girl's scream from above and looked up just in time to see a body being thrown out of a portal. He rolled away from the bed, as it fell on the bed, and stared at the person now lying there. It was a girl, roughly of his age, who was staring back at him right now. As soon as she opened her mouth, Remus took his wand from the bedside table and stunned her.

Dum-dum-dum...

What do you think is gonna happen?
