Let's go for a nice trip to Godrics Hollow, October 31st. It's around midday and James and Lily do not think they will be going anywhere today, dead or alive…

James sat watching Harry whizz around on the broom Sirius had bought him earlier that year. Oh how he missed flying. He missed the wind in his face. The heights he could soar to. The things he could see from high above the clouds. But no. There had to be a God Damn prophecy, and it had to affect them. He longed to see Sirius, Peter and Remus again, to go out on Full Moon and be by the side of Moony as Prongs with Padfoot and Wormtail... Wormtail. 'Oh how I loved the way we came up with that one.'

Flashback

We sat in the room of Requirement for the billionth time that year. Peter still couldn't get it. Sirius was sitting patiently already in his form. I stood opposite Peter, murmuring words of encouragement. "You can do it Pete. Just close your eyes and focus on yourself as a little rat." Peter nodded his head and I stepped backwards, slipping my shoes on. I had taken them off to transform. Remus and I sat watching patiently, while Sirius did something very dog like.
"Thick git is licking his balls, aint he?" Remus said stifling a laugh.
"Probably, thinks he's alone. OI Padfoot!" I whispered picking up an orange ball we had bought with us and threw it at his head, causing the dog to turn and glare.
I had just begun laughing when Remus punched me in the arm and pointed at where Peter had stood. He was gone. We looked down to the ground and saw on the floor a fat rat. Sirius thought it would be funny to chase Peter, who hid in a mouse hole. We waited ages for Peter to come out and when he did I heard a horrible squeak from under my foot. I looked down and saw Peter's tail under my shoe. I moved away and looked at his tail. I had now got lines on the one side of it.

"Shit." Sirius said, now back in human form. "It looks like he has a worm for a tail." He said beginning to laugh.

Peter slowly changed back in to a human, holding his buttocks.

"Sorry Pete." I winced. "Hey, Pads thought of a nickname for you though!" This put a small smile on Peter, he liked feeling involved. "Wormtail…"

Flashback End

"James! Where are you? Albus is here!" Lily called from the kitchen. "And lunch is ready."

Apparently she had snuck Harry out of the room and in to the kitchen for his lunch. I stared for another minute before hoisting myself out of the sofa and in to the kitchen. Albus stood looked out of the window with a grim look on his face; he wore a set of grey robes and looked like he felt guilty about something.

"Afternoon Albus. Everything okay?" I asked taking a seat beside Harry's chair.

"I am afraid not James." He said sadly. "Remus… was attacked the night before last by another werewolf. Fenrir Greyback."

"That son of a bitch who bit him?" I asked angrily, as Lily placed her hand gently on my shoulder.

"Yes. He is in the capable hands of Poppy but… I don't feel as though he will ever fully recover." He said.

"Why do you look as though it was your fault?" Lily asked, polite as ever.

"Because it was me who put him in a vulnerable position." He glared.

"Albus it wasn't really your fault. You know Remus doesn't do things he doesn't want to do." I explained, earning a nod from the headmaster. "Any other news?"

"Yes. Sirius is very close to tracking down several major death eaters, alongside Alastor. I must leave now. I will return with any updates."

Albus left leaving James and Lily feeling slightly alone. James looked down at his hands. Remus sounded really bad, but he knew he couldn't do anything so he stood up and left the room, with his head hanging. Lily sighed before carrying Harry to his cot and laying him down for and afternoon nap. She walked in to the bedroom she and James shared and found her husband attaching a not to his owl. She walked over to the desk and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder. His head leant against hers as he sighed. Lilly stood up straight and took James' hand; pulling him up and leading him to the bed.

"Lils…" He gasped as she began a strip tease…

2 Hours Later…

"Best sex ever." James panted.

"Haha. Every afternoon now then?" Lily smirked cocking an eyebrow.

James laughed before looking out the window and catching a glimpse of his owl, flying back across the blue sky, dotted in white clouds. James jumped up and wrapped his dressing gown around himself. He threw open the window then stepped aside to allow the owl entrance. The owl sat down on the edge of the desk chair and James untied the envelope from its leg, shoving and owl treat in its mouth as he went.

Prongs,
You asked about Moony. I'm afraid there's not much I can say. The Head has been somewhat reluctant in what he tells me. But what I do know is that The Head sent Moony to Greyback's childhood home. Merlin knows how he found it! After that, Moony was alone and Greyback bought him to The Burrows and dumped him on The Ginger's doorstep. You can imagine the look on poor Mother Ginger's face. He has been in since.
That's all I can say for now. I am on to something. Whatever you do, DON'T leave the house. Send my love to Flower… and Kiddo.
Love Padfoot.

James sighed. Sirius knew something and he wouldn't say what. The family sat playing in the lounge for the rest of the day… At least until 7pm. There was a loud knock on the door. James' head shot up. He stared at the door.

"Lily, take Harry. Go upstairs… Then apparate, anywhere but here. Do you understand?!" He said not taking his eyes away from the door.

"But, James." She whimpered.

"Just do it Lily! I'll be fine." He said finally looking at her.

They both walk towards the door, Lily turns to the stairs while James grasps the door handle. He threw the door open wand pointed in to the shadow. A figure appeared and grabbed his shirt.

"There is no time! Get Lily and Harry." It hissed.

"No!" He said pushing the shadow away. "Reveal yourself!"

"It is your victim of 7 years."

"Snape?" James frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to save you!" He snarled. "Get your family."

James looked at Severus for a moment before sprinting up the stairs and pulling Lily pout of Harry's room and back down the stairs. Severus led them to their Kitchen, out the back door and in to the night. They hadn't been walking long when Severus turns to look at the house. There was a green flash, causing Lily whimper and James to step back. Severus frowned and took a deep breath before sticking his hand out.

"Take my hand." He snarled. "NOW!"

Lily jumped and grabbed his hand while tightening her grip on Harry. She nudged James to grab on also. He glared and Severus before taking the mans hand…
