"So have you slept with her yet?" Sirius Black bounced up and down on Remus' living room couch.

"Who?"

"That girl, Lila, Lilac, someting like that."

"It's Lily."

"Yeah, yeah. So have you slept with her?"

"Yes."

"How is she?"

"Experienced."

"Lucky you."

"My roommate won't let me get near her before she cuts my head off."

"Smart girl." Remus commented.

"Guys, do you remember when we were told of Valeria being dead?"

"Valeria..."

"Valeria Evans, dumbass."

"Her?"

"Yes."

"What about her?"

"She's Lily's mum."

"Ouch."

"Yeah. And her dad and a girl she was tutoring just died, too."

"Poor girl."

"Who's a poor girl?" Sam Sinistra asked, coming into the apartment.

"No one." The three Marauders said at the same time.

"Hey, um, Potter..."

"Call me James."

"Alright, James. Can you tell Lily to meet me here when you see her?"

"I thought the two of you weren't talking."

"Who told you that?"

"She did."

"Oh."

"Are you talking?"

"No."

"Albus!"

"Yes, Minerva."

"You've already got them living with each other, but you're going to put them together for this, too?"

"Precisely."

"But.. but."

"But?"

"Are you sure this is a right choice?"

"Yes. They have worked well together, before."

"Yes, before they were not living together."

"They don't know it's each other."

"That won't help. They'll just be lying to each other more and more."

"It will bring them closer."

"You are sure about this?"

"Yes."

"Alright, then."

Lily stretched her sore muscles and walked tiredly to the bathroom. A few minutes later a dark brunette was seen leaving the apartment.

"Sorry. Woke up late."

"It's okay. Sit down." Lily did as she was asked.

"What's this meeting about?"

"I don't know."

"You two will be going on another mission together, since you did so well last time." Both Lily and James' attention became alert at this.

"Anastasia, you are going as Anabela Lerez, and Bryan, you are Carlos Hayes."

"Who we going after?"

"Cubica Green." Their informer opened a folder. Inside lay a picture of a brown haired girl with cold blue eyes that couldn't be matched.

James snorted. "Green." Lily elbowed him.

"What do we have to do."

"Get any information out of her as you can."

"And?"

"That is all, for now. Any questions?"

"What's the relationship between Anabela and Carlos?"

"Anabela and Carlos are best friends. Carlos will try and get close to Green and find whatever he can about her gang."

"How close?"

"As close as being her boyfriend."

"Anabela?"

"She will have to try and make friends with Green. Green's current 'best friend' is in muggle California and will not be back for another two weeks."

"We have two weeks to fulfill this mission?"

"If not less. Here are your passports, your basic utilities, the information you will have to memorize."

"What about our equipment?"

"You will see Michael later for a weapons briefing."

"Okay."

"Another mission."

"Oh great." Both Lily and James muttered sarcastically as they left the room.

"Wait,"

"What?"

"We have to go to a Spanish school?"

"Kind of. Both speak Spanish and English." The guy said. "You both are very fluent in Spanish, right?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"This," Michael, the equipments designer, held up a small pair of silver diamond earrings. "Anastasia, will help you connect with Bryan not matter where you are and it's non-traceable." Lily whistled. Michael held up two small cellphones and two small miniature plugs. "Your basic cellphone on the outside. Non-traceable communication devices that can contact anyone anywhere."

"Impressive."

"These plugs can collect data and they can transfer the information onto your cellphones, and you can send them anywhere in the web."

"Non-traceable?"

"No. Unfortunately, if we make it non-traceable it will be nearly impossible for you to actually see the information you're collecting and could take, oh possibly, four months to decode."

"Wow."

"So, we have to be careful not to leave any tracks when we use it?"

"Correct, Anastasia."

"That all?"

"All the new ones. The rest that you will be using on your trip, you already know how to use."

"Okay, thanks, Mike."

"No problem."

"Why do I have an exciting feeling about this mission?'

"You mean besides the fact that our missions are, oddly enough, thrillers, both scary and exciting?"

"Yes."

"I don't know," Lily commented.

"So, you're going all the way to Spain?" Katrina asked, shocked that they would send her on another mission so soon.

"Yes."

"You excited?"

Lily looked up at her friend with an excited grin. "When isn't our mission exciting?"

"True... Too bad that these people don't know that we're risking our lives everyday for them." Katrina said wistfully.

"Depressing thought, huh?"

"Totally." Katrina agreed. "Speaking of which, you and Bryan seem to be getting close."

"We're just friends."

"What about you and James Potter?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You have a magnetic attraction to each other."

"Purely physical."

"I doubt it."

"You would." Lily retorted almost immediately.

"So true." Katrina smiled. "Not to mention, you're going to Spain- a beautiful city if I do say so myself, with the man of your dreams; who just happens to be so fucking hot."

"On a mission." Lily blushed.

"Whatever. You're going to be speaking Spanish." Katrina continued.

"Half the time." Lily added.

"Sure. Might I remind you that, Spanish is a romance language?"

"No. I'm the one who taught you how to speak spanish."

"So, did you have another encounter with Potter?"

"No, unfortunately." Lily sat down on her bed.

"Hm, I thought you liked Bryan."

"I do. But I like James, too."

"You're on first name bases with him?" Katrina asked incredulously.

"Yes."

"Aw, my little Tigerlily's learning love." Katrina taunted.

"Go to hell."

"With the world we live in, I'm already in it."

Lily frowned in thought. "There are also the fun moments..."

Katrina suddenly became serious. She hopped off Lily's bed and turned to her friend. "Lily..."

"I know, Kat. We can't trust many people in our... profession."

"But?" Katrina persisted.

"But sometimes its hard to keep going and not give up. Sometimes I just want to give it all up and live like a normal person."

"But you're not normal, Lils."

"I know. I'm a witch, an assassin, etc...," Lily rolled her eyes and pushed the top of her suitcase down, making it close with a loud click.

"So?"

Lily looked at her friend in the eyes. "Don't you want to quit sometimes, too?"

"Yes, but then I also think about all the people we've saved."

Lily gave a sarcastic laugh. "Saved? Kat, you may have saved but I've killed."

"I know, Lily. And that's what's scares me at times."

Lily looked at her friend quizzically. "What do you mean?"

"You've killed and saved so many people. You've sent people to Azkaban. I've just saved."

Lily smiled ruefully. "You should be happy that you didn't have to see their blood or hear their cries."

"I know. And I am. But when I think about it, I know that you've seen and heard all those things, it makes me sad and it makes to think that I'm not really doing my job." Katrina said, tears forming in her eyes.

Lily hugged her friend, "Don't ever think that Kat, you've done many things." She paused. "Just because you haven't killed doesn't mean that you haven't done anything."

"Thanks, Flower."

"That's what friends are for." Lily grinned cheekily.

"When do you have to leave?" Katrina asked, looking at the alarm clock on Lily's bedside.

"I need to leave around 6.00."

"What excuse are you using?" Katrina asked, becoming interested in her friend's excuse.

"Dumbledore said that everyone would believe that I would be going back to my dad's funeral and spend a few days over."

Katrina nodded. "That's a good excuse. No one would suspect anything."

Lily eyed her friend. "Sometimes I think you could pass as my twin when it comes to brains."

"Nah. You're too smart and I'm more athletic."

"So true." Lily grumbled.

Katrina glanced at the clock again and sighed, "Come on, Flower. Time to go." She grabbed some floo powder that was laying in a bowl and threw it in the fireplace.
