Hi guys, I'm worried about this chapter being a bit slow, but without it the next chapter would be confusing I think. Also thanks for the reviews, 2 reviews is a big deal for me! Haha. I just want to say, JudeB - I did consider Dumbledore asking about the horcruxes but I was worried if he found out about them so soon it would close off the story from any action later on, just the same as I wanted to kill off Voldemort but if I had there'd be no chance of any Voldy action later on!

Anyway, enjoy! (Please review!)

The Potter family, along with Sirius and Remus headed out of the Gryffindor common room, quite stuffed from the breakfast feast the elves had put on. Walking along the corridors towards the headmaster's office, Sirius turned to James.

'When do you reckon you'll be back at work then, mate?'

'Oh, I don't know, I mean, I guess it would be soon, if we need to round up all those Death Eaters.' James turned to his wife and gave her a reassuring smile, knowing she would be worried about his return. When they reached the gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's Office, Remus gave the right password and they began the ascent to discuss what had occurred the night before. James lifted his hand to knock.

'Come in!' He heard Dumbledore shout from the other side of the door. 'How does he do that?!' James whispered to Sirius, who shrugged, equally as amazed at their old Professor.

'Good morning, everyone. I trust breakfast was up to standard?' Albus said, standing up from his desk and walking to meet them.

'Hogwarts breakfast is always the best!' Sirius exclaimed.

Albus chuckled to himself, knowing that the food at Hogwarts really was second to none. Why else would he spend all his time there?

'Now, of course, we have to discuss what happened last night. The Head of the Magical Law Enforcement will be arriving shortly to meet us.' Dumbledore walked over to his desk and began rifling through his drawers. 'Ah yes, I knew I had one left. Here you go Harry, never too early to start your collection, and you get chocolate too!' He said handing Harry a chocolate frog. Lily took it off the child, taking off the wrapper and breaking it into small chunks to feed her son. 'Sit, sit, everyone.' The group made their way to the chairs that Dumbledore had conjured for them before their arrival.

'Dumbledore, I know you're busy, especially now, but have you given any thought to where we're going to live? We can't stay here forever.' Lily asked, wiping chocolate from around her son's face.

'Ah, yes, I have. Well, it was more Hagrid's idea actually. He recently returned to his old home to visit his father's grave and saw a lovely house had been put on the market. It's secluded but not too far from the main town – a muggle and magical town. I believe it is called Ottery St Catchpole, it's in Devon, not too far from Godric's Hollow. I have made you an appointment to visit it this afternoon.' James and Lily looked at each other, smiling widely. They were interrupted by a green glow emitting from the fireplace, they all turned to look just as Barty Crouch stepped through the fireplace.

'Good morning, nice to see you again Potter, Black.' Barty said, shaking the hands of the men that worked in his department.

'Good morning, Barty, please take a seat.' Dumbledore said, gesturing to the remaining seat next to Lily and Harry. 'I trust there were no incidences in transporting Voldemort to Azkaban?'

'No, we stunned him and didn't wake him up until he was in his cell. But there was something strange, none of the Dementors seem to be interested in him. Normally when we bring a new inmate in the Dementors flock to feed off of him, but no such thing happened this time. It's like he doesn't have a soul.' Barty said, immersed in his thoughts, clearly trying to figure out what was going on.

Dumbledore looked thoughtful, 'how odd, perhaps having no soul would explain his desire to kill so many. But we must discuss more pressing matters now, we still have the element of surprise on our side regarding the Death Eaters, we need to attack before they realise anything strange is going on and they discover their master is in Azkaban.'

'We will be beginning the attack tonight. We have been cleared to use Unforgivables if necessary.' Barty told them.

'Why haven't I been told about that? I'm an Auror and so is James! We should be there!' Sirius shouted, hurt that he was being left out.

'Firstly, Potter is alive. The chances are, Voldemort would have told the Death Eaters where he was going. If Potter got out alive they will begin attacks on him, thinking he could have killed their Master.' Hearing this Lily gasped, James grabbed hold of her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. 'Secondly, its clear you are Potter's best friend and the child's godfather, you'll only be more of a target. It is too dangerous and we will not put our Aurors in that position.' Barty said turning to Sirius.

'But it's numbers! We need as many people as possible! It shouldn't matter who's godfather I am, I want to help!' Sirius was becoming agitated, horrified at the prospect of sitting at home when he could be rounding up Death Eaters – more than enough of who he was actually related to. The annoyance was building up behind the eyes of Barty Crouch too.

'I will not allow it! Your incessant need to put yourself in danger is fine with me, but you will not put your friends and colleagues in the same danger. This the last we will discuss of it.' Sirius, feeling like a child being scolded by his father, folding his arms and let out a huff. Remus put a reassuring hand on his best friend's shoulder.

'You will, of course, update us on how the operation goes?' Albus said, bringing the attention back to the main cause of their meeting. Barty nodded. 'We have several members of the Order who are all willing to assist you.'

'We have enough men, nearly three to each Death Eater. Keep your men on stand by, if they are needed we will get in contact.' This time it was Albus who nodded.

'And you will remember what I told you about our spy? No doubt he will be there. I do not wish for him to end up in Azkaban.'

'I will bring him to you here, once the attack is complete.' Lily took her husband's hand. While she was pleased neither he husband or Sirius would be in danger, she was still scared for her friends in the Order. 'Is that all, Albus? I have to get to a team meeting before we begin the attack.'

'Of course, Barty. Thank you for seeing us.' Albus stood up, shaking the other man's hand and followed him to the fireplace. Barty grabbed a handful of powder and stepped into the fireplace, disappearing in bright emerald flames.

Albus turned back around to the other four adults in the room, two of whom were trying desperately to comfort their friend who was not allowed to fight.

'Sirius, Remus, I would like you both to go to the Order headquarters and update the rest of the members on the situation, I do believe some of them may be completely oblivious to the occurrences of last night!' The two men took this as an immediate order, standing up they too walked over to the fireplaces, nodding goodbyes to the remaining people in the room. 'James, Lily, your appointment will begin in one hour, I suggest you leave the grounds and apparate from there to the house, this is the address.' He said handing them a piece of paper. 'While you are there I know of someone who is highly excited to spend the afternoon with your son and therefore, I hope this wasn't out of place of me, but I said she would be able to look after him.' As if on cue Minerva McGonagal stepped through the office door.

'Of course, Professor, thank you.' Lily said, walking over to Minerva with Harry in her arms. Lily began to rattle off Harry's schedule to her old head of house, Minerva listening intently. James turned back to Albus.

'When can we go back to the house, Albus? We need our clothes, Harry's toys, his clothes!' James said, now becoming concerned that they would never be able to go back to their first home.

'Once the attack is complete we will send an Order member to retrieve your belongings. But for now, you must go, you wouldn't want to be late!' Albus said, James and Lily both took this as their dismissal. Passing Harry over to Minerva, Lily placed a kiss on her son's head, James doing the same, the couple left the office ready to start the next chapter of their lives.
