Sirius: Hello readers Jason is unfortunately unavaible at the moment so I'll be reading what he wrote down. And don't worry he's fine just asleep cause he's exhausted from school. Now let us begin shall we?*

Lily came back in through the front door of Number 12 Grimmauld Place with Remus an hour after she left. She spoke with her dear sister and said some things that shocked even Remus since he never heard Lily say such foul language. He thought she was going to murder them both but, luckily he had arrived before any strangling could begin. He checked his watch and said.

"Oh the meeting is about to start Lily. Come along Lily we'd better get going I don't want to be late for this."

She nodded and walked over to the kitchen. Dumbledore was standing near the door. When he spotted Lily he pulled her aside and told her.

"You may come in after everyone is here. I will tell them not to bother you with questions since you remember nothing after dying." He said.

She nodded and just stood near the door waiting. She waited there for 20 minutes till Dumbledore came and nodded. She followed the old headmaster into the kitchen.

When they got through the door she only recognized a few people. Tonks, Sirius, Remus, Moody, Arthur and Molly Weasley, Professor McGonagall, and a person in the back that she had least expected to be there. Severus Snape.

'What is he doing here? Isn't he a Death Eater? What on Earth is Professor Dumbledore thinking?' She asked herself in her thoughts.

Those that did not see her earlier today were in shock that she there among them. Professor Dumbledore then showed her an empty chair next to Sirius and Remus. She sat and Professor Dumbledore spoke to Snape.

"Severus please if you may you can begin."

He stood up and said. "Thank you Headmaster. Now as you know the Dark Lord has not revealed himself openly since he knows of the Ministry not trusting Potter and Dumbledore's word." He drawled on for another hour saying of how he was gathering his forces and how he had sent emissaries to the Giants and was about to appeal to the Dementors. Everyone however was not paying attention to Snape and were more fixated on Lily. Most people were trying to make sure this was not a dream or that their eyes were not playing tricks on them. Snape never looked her in the eye till he had finished. She saw the same emptiness they always had but…he looked more hurt than when she last saw him before graduation from Hogwarts. When he finished speaking Lily heard him say in her head.

'I wish to speak with you. Meet me outside the first landing; go through the door near the back. No one will see you there.'

Lily thought she heard voices in her head for he wasn't looking at her anymore. She then remembered he was a skilled Legilimens so she simply nodded. The meeting was almost over since the Aurors' had to get back to their jobs at the Ministry. Dumbledore stood up and said.

"One more thing before we go. Lily I have consulted with the Hogwarts staff and we deem you would be an excellent teacher to take the post in History of Magic. Professor Binns has agreed that he it is time for a change and he wishes to visit the places he had been when he was…alive." He said with his eyes twinkling.

Lily was silent for a moment. She was thinking it was a pretty good idea. She had always liked History of Magic except with Binns he made it sound more boring than Death itself. Also she could use the job since Lord knows how much Harry spent, she would be safe from Voldemort, and the best part was that she could spend more time with Harry than wait for Christmas to roll around so it was a win-win situation.

"It will be an honor to teach at Hogwarts. Thank you Professor." She said smiling.

Dumbledore bowed to her and said farewell to everyone and walked out. Everyone started to crowd around Lily but, she said she wanted to go to her room to get her things set up. So she walked out and went to the stairs to the room that Snape directed her too. She opened the door and walked into another old bedroom. She didn't see Snape so she waited for a minute till a voice said from the shadows.

"You know I don't think I have ever seen everyone that distracted during my uh…"speeches" of what the Dark Lord is doing. You still have your charm Lily even if you've been "underground" for almost 14 years."

Lily thought she had a heart attack for she jumped a mile and whipped over to see Snape staring out the window in the darkened street.

"Yes well…I can't help if I still have my looks can I Sev?" Lily said jokingly.

"You always were like that. Now I'll cut straight to the point since I know you want to be with your…son." He said finishing that last word icily.

Lily stood her ground and dropped the false look of happiness she had and asked.

"What do you want then Severus?" She asked a little harshly.

"I want to protect you Lily. The Dark Lord will know of your survival soon. In fact, I won't be surprised if he already knows now. I can guarantee your safety if something were to happen to you." He said looking at her with his black orbs.

"And Harry's safety as well?" She asked with changing the tone in her voice.

"I will not lie to you Lily…I cannot guarantee Potter's safety. What with the Dark Lord's interest in him. I can how-"

"So let me get this straight Severus…you want to keep me safe and can do it but, not try with Harry? I would never to that to him! If I had to choose between saving my life or his I'd choose his as I did so before!" She said interrupting him.

"Lily I am just trying to keep you safe. Dumbledore can keep Po-" He began.

"Severus don't try! I know for a fact that you hate Harry. Why is that? Is it because he's James' son? Because he looks like the person you loathe the most? Why can't you get past that old hatred and let go?" She said with her voice rising.

"He is as bad as his father! Arrogant, lazy, loves to break rules-" He started but was cut again by Lily.

"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK OF JAMES THAT WAY! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS. JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE HIM DOES NOT MEAN HE IS JAMES SEVERUS! WHY CAN'T YOU GROW UP AND STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD? WHY DO YOU HATE HIM IT MAKES NO SENSE!"

"Lily all I want to do is too keep you safe from the Dark Lord and his followers!" He said trying to not raise his voice. "Now if you would let me help you. I ca-"

"I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP! WHY CAN'T YOU GET PAST THIS HATE YOU HAVE FOR HARRY? I KNOW YOU DON'T HATE HIM JUST BECAUSE HE'S JAMES' SON! WHY DO YOU HATE HIM SO BADLY?" She shouted at him.

Snape stood up and walked out looking highly angry and upset. She could have sworn he said something for she caught the faintest word. "Mine…" and with that he walked out of the room and down the hall.

*Sirius: And that's all we have for now. Wonder what Snivellus meant by that last word…

That's for me to now and for you to find out. Now that I'm rested I can take it from here. Thanks again everyone R&R please.*
