A/N Wow this thing is getting REALLY long!!! Well If you guys continue to review I will continue to write =)
On the morning that they were to start their Auror training. Lily was feeling sick.
"Its just the flu dear...I have to go to this!" Lily exclaimed.
"Lily, stay home...I'll tell Dumbledore you're sick." James said, casting a worried glance her way.
Lily continued getting ready. "I'm going. I'll go to the doctor when we get home."
James finally gave in, and they headed to Hogwarts to begin their training.
They met up with Sirius once they got there.
"Ok, all of the new recruits come over here. You will be under my instruction for your training." said Dumbledore.
Lily, James, and Sirius were the only new recruits.
"The first thing you are going to learn is agility. When someone shoots a spell at you, you must be quick enough to jump out of the way. Almost like a deer, or a stag." Dumbledore said, casting an amused glance at James.
The three nodded.
"Ok, Mr.Black first. I am going to shoot small spells your way and you must learn to be quick and light on your feet. You will need to be light on your feet when you are sneaking up on a death eater."
Sirius nodded and went out in front of Dumbledore.
"Ludicruscion!" Dumbledore said.
Sirius wasn't fast enough, and he got hit by the spell.
He was jerky for a moment...his limbs weren't quite cooperating...that was the whole point of that particular spell.
Soon it was Lily's turn.
She was able to jump out of the way easily, and since she WAS light, she was able to be light on her feet.
James wasn't so lucky. Dumbledore worked with James for an hour before James finally got the hang of it.
By the time the gang had to leave, they were all quite good at dodging unexpected spells.
The minute Dumbledore started speaking, they would dodge, and the spell would hit something else.
"That was a great first lesson. I am expecting a lot out of you three. Lily is there something wrong?" Dumbledore asked, concerned.
"No." Lily said shakily.
James led her out of the room.
"I TOLD you you should have stayed home. Now I AM taking you to the doctors." he said sternly.
Lily nodded and they apparated to the nearest wizarding hospital.
James waited outside while Lily was in the office, getting x-rays and tests done.
Finally, the doctor came out and said, "Mr.Potter your wife is pregnant. She is about 3 months along."
Our wedding night. James thought to himself.
He was excited at the prospect of being a father...but he had to ask...
"Will she be able to go through 3 weeks of Auror training?"
The doctor looked thoughtful.
"Well, she's only three months along, so I think it would be alright. But I don't want her on duty after her 5th month. Ok?" he said.
"Alright." James said, relieved.
Lily walked out smiling.
"Well, we didn't expect this THIS early...but I'm still happy." she said with another grin.
James grinned back and they walked back to their small house in Godric's Hollow.
"I don't want to tell anyone yet. Not until it is NOTICEABLE. I don't want them to treat me special in training or anything. I want to work just as hard as the rest of you." Lily stated.
James nodded., "But you know when you are pushing yourself too hard so be careful."
"I always am." Lily replied with a sigh.
When they got home, Lily went straight to bed because she was still feeling rather sick.
James sat up late that night, thinking. Wow. A father...I wonder if it will look like me or Lily? I wonder if I will be a good dad. Will it be a prankster like me or a serious studious child like Lily was before I met her?
After a lot of thinking, James got up and went to bed.
They woke up bright and early the next morning for their 2nd day of training.
When they got there, Sirius was already working on his spells.
"Now, Cornelius Fudge has passed a law saying that we may now use the unforgiveables on Death Eaters." Dumbledore stated gravely.
"I won't do it. That would mean we are stooping down to their level, and how can you willingly do that to someone? If you have no other choice, ok, but just because they are Death Eaters?" Lily exclaimed indignantly.
"I completely agree with you, and that is why I am not going to allow you to use them unless it is completely neccessary. When I say completely neccessary, I mean if they are advancing on you to kill you." Dumbledore said in complete agreement.
James, Sirius, and Lily nodded.
"I assume you all know what the unforgiveables are...so we are not going to practice on each other." Dumbledore said with a chuckle.
He paused.
"What we are going to work on today is your hearing abilities...you need to be able to HEAR someone sneaking up on you...or you will almost certainly die right away." Dumbledore said.
"How are we going to practice that?" Lily asked out of curiousity.
"There is a maze on the Quidditch Field and there are several obstacles that you have to complete...and the trained Aurors will jump out of no where or sneak up on you...you must be able to hear them and turn around quickly. The Aurors that are doing this, will then report to me and tell me how you did. Understood?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yep." They all said in unison.
Lily was going first.
She entered the maze cautiously, wand in hand, ready for combat.
Almost immediately, she was grabbed around the neck and flipped over.
She looked up in shock and saw an Auror taking notes.
"I didn't even hear you!" she exclaimed.
"You've got to LEARN to hear it...ok you failed that one." he said as he wrote in his notebook.
She turned and started walking in the direction that she had been walking in when she had been attacked.
She was listening keenly for the next attack, and she heard a very slight noise, whipped around and kicked the auror.
"Very good. I'm impressed." The Auror said as he walked away.
Lily smiled satisfactorily and went on her way.
By the time she had finished...she had gotten all but two Aurors...10 out of 12 wasn't bad.
James, Sirius, and Dumbledore were impressed.
James got 11 out of 12 and Sirius got 9 out of 12 on their turns.
By the time they had all finished, it was time for their session to end.
The next 2 and a half weeks flew by, and by the time they were finished with their training, they were ready for their first assignment.
They were to go and ransack a house that was suspected as a meeting area for Death Eaters...they were to capture as many as possible and find out as much information as they could manage.
The day of their first assignment, Lily was nervous. Very nervous. Not for herself, but for James and Sirius.
What if something happened to them?
When they reached the building, Lily walked around back, the other two following close behind.
Lily pricked her ears...she thought she had heard something. She whirled around and shouted "EXPELLIARMUS!"
The mans wand flew into her hand, and he ran at her, his hands outstretched as though he were reaching for her neck.
Lily kicked him right where it counts and karate chopped him in the neck, ready for anything.
The man passed out, and Lily put his wand in her spare pocket.
Then she went digging through his pockets and found a notebook of carefully planned raids...that the Death Eaters were planning.
ALRIGHT!!!! Lily thought triumphantly as she stuck that too in her pocket.
Out of no where, someone came, and she was kicked in the stomach.
Lily doubled over in pain, and Sirius came over.
"Sirius, take this notebook....keep it safe...secrets..."Lily said right before she passed out.
When she woke up, she was laying in a hospital bed and the nurse was looking at her sadly.
"I'm sorry dear, you've lost the baby." the nurse said as gently as possible.
Lily was numb with shock and sadness. James walked in and put his arms around her while she cried.
"Honey, maybe its best this way. This way, you can be an auror and be ok...and we can have children later. I know it hurts, and its so sad...but it will all turn out ok, I promise." he said as comfortingly as he could.
Lily nodded.
The next few weeks were hell for Lily. All she could think about was her dead baby.
She finally convinced herself to push on...Dumbledore needed her, and she owed him for all of the things he had done for her.
So the next morning, about a month after the miscarriage, she walked into Dumbledore's office.
"Did you find the notebook useful?" Lily asked.
"Oh, Yes!!! We have been able to stop 15 raids in the last month thanks to you." Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.
"I am ready to go back on duty Professor." Lily said proudly lifting her head.
Dumbledore looked at her and nodded.
"Then you next assignment is tomorrow night. You will come face to face with Voldemort himself at this meeting. Take the plans and RUN do not stop and try anything. This is not a prisoner raid...this is a life or death situation." he said somberly.
Lily nodded...but even SHE could not even BEGIN to imagine the horrors that awaited her the next night.....
A/N Pretty good? Sorry nope the baby wasn't Harry...if it was...then my series couldn't be much longer...don't worry he will be coming in about 6 parts...maybe. lol I can't decide...this story is like my baby and I don't want Lily and James to die!!! Well please R/R and enjoy!!!!
