You said you wanted to be alerted of the next mission. I would appreciate it if you would be up to a mission tomorrow night. Please meet at the Headquarters tomorrow at 4pm if you are able to go on the mission.

Albus Dumbledore


Dear Mr. Potter

There is a mission tomorrow night. Mr. Black will not assist you tomorrow, however, you have another partner. Please meet at the Headquarters at 4pm tomorrow.

Albus Dumbledore


"What?" Hestia asked, as Lily handed her the letter from Dumbledore, "But, what, why, what?" Hestia spluttered, and Lily frowned at her

"You knew about this," Lily said uncertainly, and Hestia's eyes flashed

"Yes I did! But you're better now!" Hestia squeaked, "I thought it was because you were upset!"

"I'm not better," Lily said, and Hestia sighed

"I know that, but,"

"Hest, I am doing this," Lily hissed, and Hestia glared at her best friend.

"I am not letting you go out on a mission to Voldemort by yourself!"

"I'm going with a partner!"

"What?" Hestia asked.

"You go on missions with partners," Lily said, and Hestia frowned

"How do you know?"

"I just assumed, since Sirius went with a partner," she said. She had taken to not saying James's name unless absolutely necessary. Hestia huffed and crossed her arms

"If there is no partner, who is adequate, you are not going," Hestia said sternly. Lily rolled her eyes but nodded, "I am not happy with you," Hestia grumbled. Lily smiled at her best friend and wound her elbow through hers.

"If Sirius can do it, so can I," she grinned. A traitorous giggle escaped Hestia, and she turned to look at her best friend.

"If Sirius can do it, anyone can," Hestia laughed, and Lily laughed along with her. When they had stopped laughing, Hestia wiped her eyes, "I am serious though,"

"You are?"

"Lily!" Hestia laughed and Lily chuckled, "But I'm not kidding about this, you have to be careful, and if you're going by yourself, then you are not going. End of story. I don't care what you tell Dumbledore, but if you're going alone then you are coming right back here," Hestia said sternly, "Understand?" Lily bit her lip, and finally gave in under her friend's abnormally stern gaze.

"Fine," she sighed. Hestia grinned happily and then narrowed her eyes suspiciously

"How do I know you'll do it?"

"Hest!" Lily groaned, only to be ignored by Hestia

"No, I'm going to go check," Hestia declared, and before Lily could say anything, she disapparated. Hestia landed in Hogsmeade to see Sirius walking up to Hogwarts, "Sirius!" she yelled. Sirius turned around, stunned, and grinned as he realized whom it was

"Hey babe," he smiled, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug, burying his face in her neck. Hestia smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, as she pulled back from him, smiling up into his face.

"I have to talk to Dumbledore," he said, suddenly irritated

"What's wrong?" she asked gently, and Sirius shook his head.

"Nothing, not important, why are you here?" he asked, and Hestia grinned.

"Same reason,"

"What happened with you?" he asked, as he took her hand and the two made their way up to the castle

"Nothing, not important," she echoed, and Sirius barked a laugh.

"You here for Dumby as well?"

"Sirius!"

"Yes?" he said cheekily, and Hestia rolled her eyes.

"Yes I am." By this time they'd reached the stone gargoyle outside Dumbledores office

"Crap, what's the password?" Sirius asked, frustrated.

"I have no idea," Hestia mumbled.

"Merlin's smelliest boxers how do we get in there?" Sirius whined, and Hestia giggled slightly. Suddenly the staircase started to move and they both burst into laughter.

"That was the password?" Hestia wheezed, pulling her boyfriend onto the moving staircase.

"Apparently," Hestia grinned, and Sirius squeezed her hand. They stepped off the stairs to see the door to Dumbledore's office door open, and Dumbledore standing there, slightly amused

"Hello Albus!" Sirius said jauntily, and Hestia rolled her eyes at her boyfriend. Honestly, that dog didn't know what respect was.

"Hello Sirius," Dumbledore chuckled, and moved aside to let them into the office, "And that wasn't my password," he added, and Sirius pouted slightly. It was a cool password. Dumbledore shut the door behind them and walked over behind his desk, gesturing to the two chairs in front of him. Sirius opened his mouth to begin but Dumbledore held up his finger, "Do not think I don't know what you two are here to discuss," he said, piercing them with his blue eyes.

"Well," Hestia said after being x-rayed for five awkward silent minutes

"I have a plan."


Lily arrived at the Order Headquarters twenty minutes before she was supposed to. She was so nervous, and she wanted to find out who her partner was. She didn't put it past Hestia, whom she hadn't seen since their argument, to withdraw her from the mission if she didn't approve. Lily walked down the corridor of the empty house and entered the room where they had had their meeting previously. It was empty, which was really starting to scare her. To be safe, she pulled her wand out and held it in her hand.

Yes, she knew there were no Death Eaters in the Headquarters, but the eerie silence was starting to mess with her imagination. There was a creak behind her and she turned quickly, her eyes widening.

"Relax dear," the woman said, taking a step towards her, "I'm Andromeda," she said politely. Lily sighed and held her hand out.

"Sorry I thought you were-"

"Bellatrix? Yes people tend to get us mixed up, she's my sister," she said, and Lily frowned. What?

"I don't understand," Lily said apologetically, and Andromeda laughed lightly

"You know Sirius Black right?" she asked, and Lily nodded, "He's my nephew, I'm Nymphadora's mother, I know you know her," she said, and Lily smiled. So this was another Black who went good.

"It's so nice to meet you," Lily said politely, and Andromeda laughed

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Lily, Dora's told us so many good things about you," Andromeda smiled, and Lily flushed slightly

"Are you my partner for the mission?" Lily asked, and Andromeda shook her head.

"I've been banned by my husband," she chuckled, and Lily grinned, "I'm here to disguise you," she said, and Lily frowned.

"D-disguise?"

"We don't want the Death Eaters to know it's you, since you're muggleborn," she said, and Lily huffed

"Being muggleborn is irritating," she grumbled, and Andromeda laughed

"But it's an honour. I always respected muggleborns more than pure-bloods," she shrugged, and Lily smiled at her, "But this is a special circumstance. There was a request to disguise you," she said, and Lily rolled her eyes

"Was it, by any chance, made by Hestia Jones?" she asked irritably, and Andromeda smiled

"I'm not allowed to say," she said and Lily sighed, "We're not doing much, all we have to do is change the colour of your hair," she shrugged, and Lily nodded, "So I'll do that,"

"I can do it," Lily said earnestly, and Andromeda chuckled.

"I'm well aware that you are a fully qualified witch, but Dumbledore instructed me to do it," she smiled. Lily nodded and closed her eyes as Andromeda pulled her wand out. She could hear Andromeda muttering silently and wondered what she was doing to her hair, "Done," Andromeda said. Lily opened her eyes and grabbed a strand of hair. It was jet black, like James's hair. And it was straight.

"Thanks," Lily smiled, and Andromeda grinned.

"I had to change your eyebrows as well, because they weren't matching, so I hope you don't mind," she chuckled. Lily thanked Andromeda again, before the kind witch left.

Lily sighed and sat down at the large table, resting her elbows on it and playing with a strand of her abnormally straight black hair. She had always hated other coloured hair on her; red suited her. There was a creak behind her and footsteps sounded, walking down the hall. She looked at her watch quickly to see that it was exactly 4.

Show time.

"Ah, you're here," Dumbledore said, careful not to use her name, "Excellent, excellent. Well, your partner is waiting by the door, I instructed him to stay there," Dumbledore said, and Lily nodded, "Be careful," he said quietly. Lily looked over at him and nodded, "And I like the black hair, but I have to say you look better natural," he mused, and walked away. Lily giggled. Only Dumbledore was so odd. Lily followed him out into the corridor, looking down at the floor, unaware of whom the person in front of her was.

James looked at the girl walking towards him. Her hair was the exact same shade as his, and it was pin straight, reaching the middle of her back. He smiled slightly as she stumbled over a crack in the floor.

"This is your partner," Dumbledore said, watching the two warily. The girl in front of James raised her eyes to look at him, and Dumbledore watched as both of them jumped as they recognized each other.

"Is this a joke?" Lily asked, turning to Dumbledore, "What's he doing here?"

"I have to agree, Lily, what the hell are you doing here?" James hissed. Lily turned irritably to look at him.

"What do you mean what am I doing here?"

"Why are you going on the mission? It's far too dangerous!" he yelled. Dumbledore watched in amusement as the two got up in each other's faces, yelling.

"Excuse-me? Who are you to tell me what is too dangerous for me? If I recall correctly,"

"Don't you dare use the Auror thing as an excuse!"

"Why? Because that's proof that I'm perfectly capable of doing this?"

"You are not going! That is final!"

"You can't tell me what to do!"

"Watch me," James snarled, and Lily narrowed her eyes at him.

"I am going," she hissed.

"No you are not!"

"Why not?"

"You're muggleborn!"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"You know exactly why that's significant!"

"This is not your decision to make!" Lily screeched. James glowered down at her and then turned to Dumbledore, who quickly wiped the smirk off his face.

"Can you send Lily back to her flat?" James asked in a controlled voice, and Lily hissed.

"Sorry Mr. Potter but she signed up for this weeks ago," Dumbledore said in a neutral voice, and James turned to glare at Lily, who ignored him

"You did what?"

"Can you not hear Potter?" James opened his mouth to yell at her but Dumbledore cleared his throat

"I don't see the point in arguing, there is an important mission at hand, and James you are not permitted to go alone," Dumbledore said with an air of finality. James glowered down at Lily, who glowered back, slightly smug, "You both know where to go?" Dumbledore asked. Lily nodded and James crossed his arms, "Good, now, you'll have to apparate together," said Dumbledore, and James huffed.

"I don't want her to come," James said, and Lily felt her stomach drop

"Well I don't want to go with you," Lily hissed back, but James ignored her

"James," Dumbledore said slightly sternly. James sighed and gave in.

"Fine," he grumbled. Lily smiled triumphantly and James felt the urge to punch something. Dumbledore nodded happily.

"Good, just wait for a moment," he said, before turning around and vanishing down a corridor, leaving the couple alone to be engulfed in their awkward silence

"I can't believe you signed up," James hissed, and Lily rolled her eyes, not saying anything, "So you're not talking now?" he asked irritably, and Lily rolled her eyes.

"I'll talk to you when I have to," she said, her voice layered with anger, but James could hear her hurt underneath. James opened his mouth to say something, but was, fortunately, stopped by the arrival of Dumbledore.

"You may go now," he said, and they nodded, but didn't move, "You have to apparate together, so I suggest you hold on to each other," he said, the corners of his mouth twitching. Lily didn't move, her heart beating a hundred miles an hour without her permission, and James, whose heart was doing similar things, huffed and walked over to her. He held his hand out and Lily looked down at it for a few moments, before taking it.

She had to restrain a sigh of contentment as she felt his familiar calloused hand wrapped around hers. She hadn't realized her hand had been so lonely. Poor hand.

"Good luck," Dumbledore said, and they turned on the spot, vanishing.

"I told you the disguise was a good idea! He was totally caught of guard!" Sirius yelled happily, walking out from behind a wall, holding Hestia's hand. Dumbledore chuckled lightly and walked away from yet another lovers quarrel.


When they landed, Lily quickly dropped his hand. She couldn't afford to lose herself to him again. It hurt too much when he was gone. James, on the other hand, had to restrain a protest when she let go of his hand. He had missed her so much.

"This way," he whispered, and Lily rolled her eyes, causing him to smirk.

"I know," she grumbled, looking around warily as they made their way over to a good spot where they could hear the meeting that they had been informed was taking place. James was looking around, panicked. What if one of the Death Eaters realized there was a muggleborn out here?

She stopped suddenly and turned around, her hair, which James didn't like black, slapping him in the face.

James spluttered and Lily smirked, "What?" he asked quietly.

"Do you have your cloak?" she whispered, and James nodded.

"Scared Evans?" he teased, and Lily rolled her eyes

"No, I just don't fancy dying and having to face the wrath of Hestia," she said, and James chuckled. Lily's stomach flipped as she saw his familiar carefree smile. She had only asked for the invisibility cloak so nobody would find him. James pulled the cloak out and handed it to Lily.

"Here you go," he whispered, and Lily rolled her eyes. She opened it carefully, aware of James's eyes on her, and handed it to him, "Don't you want to use it?" he asked, confused, and a grin spread across Lily's face, causing James's heart to speed up, "Lily Evans is that a smile I see?" he asked, and Lily smiled.

That was what he had said to her back on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of their seventh year. James, remembering, sighed nostalgically. Life had been so much easier back then.

"We're both using it," she said, and James rolled his eyes

"No, only one of us is using it"

"Alright, then I'll go like this," she shrugged,

"I meant you were wearing it," he hissed, and Lily shook her head, turning away from him, "Lily!" She turned around and looked at him, her eyes daring him to tell her once more, "Fine," he huffed. Lily walked over to him and he put the cloak over the two of them. Lily shuddered slightly at their close proximity, and James internally cursed himself for giving in. She was standing way too close for him to think coherent thoughts.

"Um," Lily said quietly, "Let's go," she said, looking anywhere but at him. There was a rustle behind them and Lily turned her head so quickly that her irritating black hair hit him in the face. The Orchid shampoo took James off guard and it finally hit him that it was really Lily standing next to him. He grabbed her elbow and pulled her closer to him, as the few Death Eaters who had graduated with them walked by, talking animatedly about a muggle killing spree.

Lily slowly looked up at James, who was looking after them with angry eyes. She admired the way his jaw curved, the straightness of his nose, the curve of his lips, his stupid messy hair, and the individual specks of colour in his hazel eyes. James, feeling her gaze on him, looked down, meeting her gaze, and Lily looked away quickly. Bloody hell.

"Come on," he said after a moment of awkward silence, and they followed the Death Eaters. They walked inside the shack the meeting was happening in, and stood with their backs against the wall as the Death Eaters walked in through a door.

"My Lord, I don't understand, why are you taking such an interest in the Potter boy?" Lily and James froze, and Lily turned towards the sound of the voice with worried eyes, whilst James listened intently.

"What I do is my business," the high voice said, and Lily shuddered slightly at the sound.

"Forgive me, My Lord"

"You," there was a squeak, "Explain"

"Potter is a pureblood, the last of a long line of them," the voice said, and James's nose wrinkled in disgust.

"What does this have to do with the mudblood?" Lily froze and turned to look up into James's face.

"What happened with the mudblood?"

"The Dark Lord broke them up," another voice cackled, and Lily felt her insides melt. What? James's eyes had closed and his hands were shaking slightly, waiting for the reason why Voldemort had done this.

"We can't have a prestigious pureblood line deteriorate because of one mistake," a voice added, and James felt his jaw clench as snickers responded to this statement

"The mudblood had to go."

"How did you manage that?" the familiar drawl of Lucius Malfoy asked, and Lily could hear the smirk in his voice

"It was very simple, all that had to be done was the boy had to be convinced that as long as he stayed with the filth, the more danger it would be in," a voice answered, and they all cackled with mad laughter. Lily looked up into James's face to see a tear roll down his cheek.

A huge wave of guilt flooded over Lily. He had been protecting her and she had been terrible. Lily reached up and wiped the tear away gently. James's eyes flew open and he looked down into Lily's. There was a bang and the both jumped, expecting to see Voldemort or at least a few Death Eaters looking at them, but the noise had come from within.

"Enough," the high voice said, and there was silence. Lily huffed and turned around, facing the wall, and pulled out her wand. She waved it around and a spot in front of her face went transparent, but would be a wall from the other side. Lily had always thought of the spell as the muggle mirror where you could see a mirror on one side and someone could see you from the other. James smirked as a transparent area appeared in front of his own face. There were so many advantages to working with Lily.

Voldemort was sitting on one end of a long table, surrounded by Death Eaters. Lily felt her stomach clench as she saw just how many of them were present. If they were found, they wouldn't make it out alive.

"What will the mudblood do?" Voldemort asked, turning to face a Death Eater, whose back was to them.

"My Lord, I don't think that this will change the Potter boy's mind on joining us," another voice cut in, and Voldemort turned to him with angry eyes.

"It wasn't you who I addressed Goyle," Voldemort hissed, his eyes flashing. Voldemort turned back to face the first Death Eater, "You surely know what she will do, Severus."

Lily gasped as Voldemort said the name, and Voldemort turned his head quickly in the direction of them. James frowned slightly, you couldn't hear through the invisibility cloak.

James looked down at Lily and felt his stomach drop. She had stepped too far from him, and was in complete view.

"What was that?" Voldemort hissed, standing up and walking swiftly over to them. James grabbed the frozen Lily's arm and dragged her under the invisibility cloak. She hid her face in his chest, scared, and James put his arms around her protectively. Voldemort suddenly appeared right next to them, a few Death Eaters standing around him. Lily flicked her wand quickly and the transparent spots disappeared before Voldemort could see them. Voldemort's eyes went out of focus and then quickly came back, "There's no one here," he said calmly, and walked back into the large room, followed by Death Eaters. James smirked slightly and then looked down at Lily, who was shaking.

Seeing Voldemort had brought back Lily's memories of being tortured in Hogsmeade. The second he had come into view her heart had stopped and she had felt a cold sweat break out.

James, guessing this, rubbed her arms soothingly, "Should we go?" he whispered. Lily continued shaking, and James nodded, taking that as a yes. He held her protectively and disapparated quickly.

"Wormtail, go check and see what that was?" Voldemort hissed, and Peter Pettigrew came around the corner, and looked into the now empty air.

"Nothing here My Lord"


"Lils," James said quietly, as they landed. Lily opened her eyes, still under the cloak, and looked around the Auror Headquarters. James's arms were still wrapped around her shoulders protectively, and when Lily looked up at him, he released her softly, and Lily felt her sorrow well up after what she had heard.

"I-I'm sorry," Lily whispered, and James frowned down at her.

"For what?"

"Y-you were j-just trying to keep me s-safe," Lily started in a choked voice, the lump in her throat audible. James put his finger on her lips before she could say anything else and looked down at her with his beautiful hazel eyes.

"Lils don't," he whispered, wiping away a tear that had escaped her eyes. Another one escaped and James wiped it away. When yet another one fell down her face James chuckled slightly, "I should have your tear ducts removed," he teased, and Lily chuckled slightly.

"Hest already had them removed in our fifth year," she choked, and James rolled his eyes

"It wasn't successful," he said in a matter-of-fact tone, and Lily glared up at him.

"I think you're the reason they grew," she grumbled, and James raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't do anything!"

"You made me fall for you!" she hissed

"I did no such thing," he said, ignoring the glowing inside him, "That was entirely your fault"

"Bullshit," she said, and James smirked.

"Well yes I may have played a tiny part," he shrugged, and Lily sighed.

"We should get out," she said, prodding the invisibility cloak. She made to push it away but James's hand reached out and grasped her wrist

"Just one more thing," he said, and Lily smiled

"You know, it is possible to talk out there," she said, pointing to the outside of the invisibility cloak, and James snorted.

"Yes I am very aware, I just have to ask you something," he said

"Go ahead"

"Are we okay?" he asked quietly, and Lily looked at him curiously, her stomach flipping. Did he mean what she thought he meant?

"Define 'okay'," she said, and James ran his hand through his hair. Lily watched his hand in jealousy, wishing her hand had been able to do that.

"Well, I don't know," he said honestly, and Lily giggled, slightly light-headed.

"I do," she whispered, and James looked down at her, confused. Lily looked up into his hazel eyes and made her decision as soon as their eyes met. They continued to look at each other and James looked away after a while, unable to take it anymore.

"Right, er, I'm sor-" he started, but was cut off by soft lips, barely touching his own, but sending a jolt of Firewhisky through him. Lily got back down on her two feet when she realized he wasn't responding.

"I'm sorry! I mean, of course you just want to be friends and I didn't think to ask I'm sorry I just assumed-"

It was Lily's turn to be cut off as James's lips came crashing down on hers. Lily instinctually wrapped her arms around his neck and finally ran her fingers through his hair, pushing every available inch of her body against his. James had his hands on either side of her face, and moved them so that one of his hands was in her hair, and the other was tenderly against the small of her back. Lily felt the sides of James's lips turn up into a small smile, and felt intense joy bubble up inside of her.

They broke apart when they were in desperate need of oxygen, and Lily, blushing, looked up into his jubilant hazel eyes. James rested his forehead against hers and took a lock of her hair in his hands, playing with the end of it by her shoulder. Lily grinned at him and he felt his stomach flip.

"I've missed you," Lily said sweetly, as she twirled her fingers through his available hand. James smiled and held her hand gently.

"So I'm guessing we're okay then?" he whispered, and Lily giggled. James grinned and then his grin faltered slightly.

"What?" she asked gently, and James looked back into her eyes

"What if he hurts you?" James asked quietly, his voice layered with pain.

"That's my problem," Lily said defiantly. James opened his mouth to protest but Lily continued talking, slightly louder, "And to be honest James, I'd rather be with you and risk getting hurt than be away from you and be perfectly safe," she ended it quietly, feeling extremely vulnerable.

"Lils," James whispered, and Lily looked up at him, as if daring him to tell her otherwise, and James chuckled, "Alright, fine, we'll discuss that later," he said, and Lily grinned.

"There's nothing to discuss," she said sternly

"Okay," he brushed it off, knowing he would be bringing it up later whether she liked it or not

"Can I be your girlfriend again?" Lily asked, and James laughed.

"I thought we already clarified that," he said, brushing the back of his hand over her cheek, and Lily rolled her eyes, blushing slightly

"Actually, no we didn't," she said

"Well, I clarified it in my mind"

"That doesn't count," she pointed out, and James snorted

"Such a brilliant mind like this? Of course it counts!"

"It's a wonder you can get out of bed with such an inflated head," she teased, and James chuckled, and kissed her forehead.

"Welcome back Evans," he said, "Now I have a question to ask you."

"Yes, you can be my boyfriend again"

"Not what I was going to ask," he said, his stomach dancing around, "But thanks," he winked. Lily flushed slightly and James laughed, "I was going to ask what the bloody hell happened to your hair," he growled, eying the black rubbish on top if his gorgeous girlfriend's hair.

"Someone requested that I should be disguised," she said irritably, pulling her wand out. James grinned at her as she changed her eyebrows and hair back to normal, and sighed in contentment as his red head was in front of him finally.

"Much better," he whispered, twirling a lock of her normal, beautiful, auburn wavy hair in his fingers. Lily turned slightly and jumped, "What?" he asked, turning and grinned as he saw that they were not alone in the room. Sirius, Hestia and Dumbledore sat at the table.

"Should we let them know we're here?" Lily asked, and James snickered, shaking his head

"No I want to spy," he said, and Lily grinned.

"My thoughts precisely," she said, and pulled him closer to them. James put his arm around her shoulder and Lily leaned into him happily, feeling like she had finally come home after being gone.

"I hope it works!" Hestia squealed happily

"It should," Sirius said

"I believe it will work," Dumbledore said wisely, and Sirius threw Hestia a smug look

"What will work?" Lily whispered to James, who shrugged.

"Well obviously it will work, they're obviously still in love with each other," Hestia said, and the couple's eyebrows rose, "It was a brilliant plan"

"What? To have them set up as partners? Definitely," Sirius grinned, and then turned to Dumbledore, "Good work pal," he said, and Dumbledore chuckled lightly, "And my disguise idea worked wonders, I mean, Prongs didn't even realize it was her!"

Lily turned to James, who was staring at his friend with an amused, as well as irritated, expression. She nodded towards the cloak, and James grinned. He counted down from three, and they pulled the cloak off

"Yes and if he had kno-AAAAAH!" Sirius screamed, as the couple in question came into view

"You planned this?" James asked threateningly, crossing his arms.

"N-no he did!" Sirius squeaked, pointing at Dumbledore, who chuckled lightly.

"Who cares?" Hestia squealed, standing up and turning to look at her best friend, "Did it work?" she asked. Both Dumbledore and Sirius looked at the couple, who were slowly turning red, with curious expressions.

"Well?" Sirius asked, standing up and crossing his arms.

The couple continued to blush and Sirius wagged his eyebrows.

"Excellent," he smirked.


Hello everybody! So I have been informed that although long chapters are good, if I write shorter chapters, it will result in faster updates, so my chapters are going to decrease in length. Nothing too short, I swear. Also, sitting in and reading an uber long chapter can get exhausting, especially if you have to sleep and you stay up late to read it (I do that) and if you have work to do (guilty again)

So I hope you like the story and look forward to an update!

ALSO, next weekend for me is a five-day weekend (OMG) so I have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off, so you can definitely expect an update then if I don't update before.

Happy fanficcing!
