Disclaimer: I do not own the world of Harry Potter!

I am so happy from all the reviews this has gotten, and happy about how many times this has been 'story alerted' and 'favourited'. So I hope you enjoy the next chapter!


Remus Lupin was excited. He was on his way to speak with two of his best friends, who had died 15 years previously. No they hadn't been awoken from the dead, they had their own magical portraits.

He walked over to the couch in front of their portraits and whispered,

"Lily, James."

The portraits slowly woke and looked at the person who was in front of them.

"Remus?" they whispered in shock.

He looked at them properly, studying their faces and said,

"I can't believe I'm actually talking to you guys."

All three of them were tearing up. Someting James and Remus would never admit to.

"Moony, it's been too long," said James.

"Prongs mate, you got something right," said Remus, appearing to be shocked.

That broke all the sadness that was lingering around the room, as Lily burst out laughing.

"Moony!" cried James. "Lils, you're supposed to be on my side."

"Not when you're wrong."

"How's life going for you then Moony?" asked James.

Remus grinned, "I'm engaged."

Lily squealed, "No way! Remus that's amazing."

"Congratulations, who's the lucky girl you looked over your furry little problem for?"

"Nymphadora Tonks," he said.

Lily and James' jaws dropped. "Sirius' little cousin?"

"The one and the same."

"That takes guts mate," said James.

"Not as much as going after your best mate's younger sister," said Remus.

"Ooh, tell us more," said Lily.

"I think that your son has feelings for a certain redheaded witch, who goes by the name Ginny Weasley," said Remus.

"Aww my baby's in love," said Lily.

Remus and James looked at her amused and then shook their heads.

"What?" she asked.

"Lils, he doesn't know her properly. He's not gonna be in love with her already," said Remus.

Lily glared, "James was."

"That's different."

"How?"

"It just is."

"Fine."

"Fine."

"...and I thought Padfoot and I were the childish ones," said James. He got two glares for this comment.


In the living room was where everyone else was. Including the Malfoy's. It was all silent. Nobody could think of a topic to speak of, the Malfoy's on one side of the room and the Weasley's on the other, both families trying so hard to not to glare at the other.

The silence was interrupted by the fire flaring. Notifying them all that a someone was about to appear for a floo call. It was Dumbledore.

"Emergency Order meeting. The same place still," was all he said, before disappearing.

The Adults looked at eachother and started to rush to the floo. The Malfoy's included.

"Why are you coming?" asked Arthur, so close to glaring at Lucius.

"Albus asked me to," he replied.

They looked shocked, but carried on going.

"Wait! Remus," Tonks ran towards the stairs and screamed for him.

"REMUS!"


"REMUS!"

Remus looked towards the door, momentarily forgetting where he was. Talking with Lily and James made him think that they were still alive and he was back in '81 again having a conversation over dinner.

Remus looked up at the portraits of his best friends and sighed, "I gotta go, but I'll see you soon, I promise."

Lily and James looked at eachother.

"Remus..." said James.

Remus nodded.

"Remus...like we told Harry. You have a life out beyond those doors. Don't spend all your free time here. You still have your life, so live it. Please," said James.

"I will." Remus nodded.

"Bye Remus," said Lily and James.


Remus went downstairs and asked,

"What's going on?"

"Emergency Order meeting," replied Tonks.

The two ran to the floo, where everyone else had already left. They quickly got out the floo powder and left.


They walked in to the kitchen, where Order meetings were held. They sat down in a couple of empty seats near the door. When they looked up, they realized that most of the Order members had their wands out pointed at Lucius Malfoy.

Dumbledore walked in then, after contacting the last of the members.

"Put your wands down," he said.

Everyone looked confused,

"But Albus, he's a death eater," said Kingsley Shacklebolt, one of the few who still kept their wands up.

"Put your wands down and I will explain everything," said Albus.

They put their wands down, and stared at Albus waiting for an explanation.

"The Malfoy's have switched sides," said Albus. "Am I to assume that you three will join?"

"I will," said both Lucy and Narcissa.

"And you Lucius?" he asked.

"I'm still thinking," replied Lucius.

"Then why are you here?"

"I'm not going to join something that I don't know what to expect from it."

"Albus, how can you be sure they've changed sides?" asked Hestia Jones.

"It seems that the Malfoy's are the only living relatives of Harry Potter," said Albus.

"What?" shouted the Order members, with the exception of those who already knew.

"What about the Dursley's?" asked Arabella Figg.

"We recently found out that Lily Potter nee Evans was adopted. Kidnapped from the Malfoy's at a young age. Lily Potter was the younger sister of Lucius Malfoy," replied Albus.

"What? No way. Not Lily," were some of the responses.

"It's true," said Lucius, glaring at everyone. "If it wasn't, then I seriously doubt that I'd be here. Nor would I be able to find headquarters in the first place."

The majority seemed to believe him. Those who didn't, held on to their words.

"Why were we called here?" asked Tonks. "You said it was an emergency."

"Our sources tell us that the death eaters plan to attack Diagon Alley at precisely one o'clock," said Albus.

Tonks checked her watch. It was 12.30am. "It's half twelve. So, when are we going?"

"Soon. We should all be aiming to capture," said Albus.

"Aiming to capture? Dumbledore, the death eaters will be aiming to kill. I know that from experience. If you aim to capture, it's more than likely another death eater will relieve them of whatever spell is on them, and then they get to carry on fighting," said Lucius.

Everyone looked shocked that he actually put something forward in the meeting.

"I must agree with him there, Albus," said Aberforth Dumbledore.

"Fine. We will aim to injure and captpure." said Albus.

Just then, a latecomer to the meeting walked in.

"Albus, they're getting ready to go. He's got the best of his death eaters going."

The latecomer sat in the empty seat next to Lucius. He looked up.

"What's he doing here?"

"Snape," said Lucius.

"Malfoy," said Severus.

"The Malfoy's are the relatives of Harry Potter and they switched sides," said Albus.

Severus looked shocked.

"You're the spy?" asked Lucius, also shocked.

"Severus has been on our side, since just before Voldemort fell the first time," said Albus.

Lucius just nodded, still in shock because Severus Snape is the one the Dark Lord trusts the most and the one he trusts most is actually the traitor.

While waiting to leave, both Severus and Lucius felt their mark burn, notifying them that the Dark Lord wanted them. They looked at eachother and nodded. They told Albus, while clutching their forearms from the burning sensation.

"Don't do anything that will tell them of your true alliance. If you find that you can't escape the fight to disguise yourselves and join us, then stay where you are and just use minor spells like 'Stupefy' and 'Expelliarmus'," said Albus, something that Severus had heard many times before, but it was the first time Lucius had heard it.

They both understood and so they nodded at him, and left.


Voldemort was stood at the back of a large room in the Riddle house, where he and his death eaters were currently waiting and planning for their attack on Diagon Alley.

Voldemort was stood there wondering why two of his best death eaters hadn't shown up. Well, Severus Snape showed, but not for long, he claimed he had to do something that couldn't wait. Becoming impatient, he called Bellatrix and put his wand to her mark. He noticed his inner circle all clutching their forearms, but he didn't care, he'd never cared before anyway, he just wanted all of his best at the attack.

Then finally the door to the room opened and in came Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. They bowed before him whilst saying, "My lord."

"Just where were you both?" asked Voldemort.

"I had important things to take care of," said Severus.

"More important than reporting to me?" asked Voldemort, angrily.

"No, my lord," said Severus, with his head down.

"Look at me," hissed Voldemort.

Severus looked up, knowing what was coming.

"Crucio!" cried Voldemort.

Severus fell to the ground, trying to contain his screams as felt the familiar feeling of pain. It was torture. The Dark Lord relented and turned to interrogate Lucius.

"And you Lucius, where were you?"

"I-I was-uh-. I was explaining to my son Draco, about how you summon those of your inner circle and how the mark is used, my lord," said Lucius.

Voldemort looked suspicious. "And he didn't know already?"

"No, my lord. I couldn't tell him without knowing for sure that he was on our side, and wished to join the death eaters," said Lucius.

Voldemort nodded, accepting the answer and pleased with how thought out it was.

"You were still late to report to me. What if it was an emergency? Not that this isn't, but what if we were in battle somewhere and needed reinforcements. Tell me, what would have happened then?" hissed Voldemort.

He didn't get an answer.

"Crucio!"

Lucius also fell to ground in pain. The Dark Lord then took the curse off, so he could continue planning for the attack.


The Order got in to their postions in Diagon Alley, silently waiting for the attack that they knew was coming. Some were placed outiside of shops, inside of shops, around the corners of alleyways and some just walking through the streets as if it were a normal day and they were out for a stroll.

Not long had passed, when they heard the sound initiating the attack. The screams and the explosions. Most Order members came out of their positions and also started attacking the death eaters, hoping they weren't hitting Snape or Malfoy.

Shops were being set on fire, with explosions everywhere. Jets of bright lights were flying around. From the explosions, debris was flying everywhere injuring people. It was terrifying to watch.

"Stupefy."

"Reducto."

"Avada Kedarvra."

"Crucio," were only just a few of the curses.

Tonks and Lucy were running towards a group of death eaters that were attacking the people inside Flourish and Botts.

"Stupefy!" shouted Tonks. Damn, we're aiming to injure aren't we, not just capture.

"Diffindo."

"EGO surculus telum*" shouted Lucy, which conjured arrows to pierce the death eaters.

The two women carried on attacking aswell as defending the ones in the shop.

"Sectumsempra!"

Lucy was caught off guard and the spell hit her in the chest, she collapsed to the ground.

"Lucy!" screamed Tonks. She carried on fighting and managed to get someone to take Lucy to St. Mungos.

Tonks was caught in the middle of 5 death eaters. There was no way she'd escape this. They were closing in on her, but then two guys with brown hair and blue eyes came and helped her out from the corner they had backed her in to.

"Thanks," said Tonks, once they had gotten out of there. "Um..who are you?"

"It's us, Severus and Lucius."

"Oh right. Thanks again," and she ran off to carry on fighting.


When the battle was over, Diagon Alley was a mess. Debris was everywhere. Not many shops were left standing. Fires were still burning. Bodies were just lying there, and blood was everywhere.

Only 5 death eaters had been captured, 4 death eaters were killed and 5 injured. Of the light side (which included the people at Diagon Alley that day), 20 were killed, and just under 100 people were injured.

The Order members were about to apparate back to Grimmauld place. They didn't hear the person who was walking behind them.

"Avada Kedarvra!"

A jet of green light appeared and caught a person in the back. People who hadn't left yet screamed. The person who fired the spell had already disappeared. They turned over the body which had fallen and they were staring in to the face of Aberforth Dumbledore.
