Lily pursed her lips. She didn't like the idea. "Are you sure, Sirius?" She asked, tucking a bit of red hair behind her ear, just like she always did when she wasn't sure of something. James saw this and grabbed his wife's hand.

"Lily, he makes an excellent point, you know. Voldemort would suspect him, much more than-"

"-I know, I know," Said Lily dismissively, looking into James' eyes, then Sirius'. "But Peter? I mean, why not someone more tustworthy? Like Remus, perhaps." Sirius bit his upper lip.

"Lily," He began, "You know I trust Remus more than Peter-Well, used to at least..."

"But what?" Questioned Lily. "He's gentle, loyal, and a trustworthy friend if I ever saw one. Don't tell me you don't trust him, either of you, because he's a werewolf." Sirius opened his mouth to protest, but James took over.

"Lily, we can't help but ignore that part of him. We all know Remus would never hurt a fly on almost every day of the month. But werewolves have been recruited."

"And you think Remus would join them?" Lily inquired accusingly. Sirius shook his head.

"No, not fully, at least, it's just...Lily, think: Someone offers you a chance to be equal with everyone else in society for the first time since you could barely read," Sirius pointed out. "Don't you think you'd say yes, especially if you didn't know what you were getting into? My brother was a prime example," Sirius spat. "Joined, tried to back out, and got killed." James nodded and began to talk again before Lily could interrupt.

"And would Remus tell us? Absolutely not. He kept being a werewolf from us for two years right? Isn't being a death eater just as awful, if not worse?" Lily had no choice but to reluctantly yield. It made some sense.

"Yes, but...Peter?" Sirius sighed.

"Lily, I'd do it if I could. No one would suspect Peter, you know how pathetic he looks."

"But..." Lily pressed on, trailing off. James squeezed his wife's hand.

"Do it for Harry, sweets. It'll work out fine, you'll see. Lily," James whispered, "Just let it be."

Author's Note:

This was a sad one for me to write. Honestly, Remus a Death Eater...Anyway, I'll update here again tomorrow. Thank you for reading and reveiwing, and I hope you continue to do so. Coming up next, some Neville Longbottom.

Until then,
