Authors note ~ Just want to thank all my reviewers again! Also, I'm not sure I have all the characters names spelt right, if you notice the bad spelling, could you tell me how they're supposed to be spelt? Thanks. If this chapter is confusing, tell me and I can explain the ring thing better. Enjoy :)

*Explanations

"Hey Lily." James said softly.

"James?" Lily was surprised to wake up with James sitting by her bedside. She hadn't realized she was in the hospital wing yet. "Where am I?"

"In the hospital wing. You fainted at the meeting."

"Oh." Lily remembered what had happened now. She had started to explain how to make pumpkins float and then she passed out.

"What's wrong with me?"

"They said you were fighting the imperious. I guess it wore you out pretty well."

"Really? I though there had been one to many voices in my head lately." James was glad to see Lily had her sense of humor back a little. "How long have I been here?"

"Just overnight." He said. "If you're lucky, they'll let you out before you miss Charms." Lily's eyes brightened.

"Who do you think cast the imperious on me?" Lily asked.

"Not sure." James replied. "My main question is why."

"Oh good, she's up!" Madam Pompfrey said before they could discuss things any further. After giving Lily a brief examination, she declared Lily could leave after lunch.

"Sorry Tiger, but I've got to go to charms now. I'll tell everyone you woke up and will be returning soon." James kissed Lily lightly on the forehead and left. Lily laid on the bed for about an hour before she was bored. She was just sneaking out of bed for a quick walk around when she heard a voice come from the door.

"Ah, good Ms. Evans, you're up!" Dumbledore said. Lily regretfully sat back down on her bed.

"Hello professor. What brings you here?"

"You're the reason I came actually. I have a few things to explain to you. Is there anything you'd like to ask me before I start?" Lily thought about this for a few moments.

"Actually, there is. Who do you think tried to take control of me?"

"Ah, I was hoping you'd ask that. I think it was Voldemort."

"What? Why do you think that?"

"That's part of the reason I came here. Lily, have you ever heard of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Yes."

"Well, since the beginning of the year I have been seriously considering asking you and a few friends to join it. Somehow, I think the information leaked out into the wrong hands. Voldemort must have heard and thought if he could control you, he would be able to find out our plans."

"Wait a minute, you want me to help fight Voldemort?"

"You may not want to believe it, but you have some extraordinary magical talent, escipally in charms." Lily blushed. "So how can I help?"

"I take it you'll do it then?"

"Of course! After all, he did kill my parents. I'm going to do whatever I can to stop him from ruining anyone else's lives." Lily's face grew solemn for a moment, remembering her parents.

"I'm glad you'll help. I've also asked James and Sirius." Lily didn't seem all that surprised. After all, the three of them were always fighting for top grades. "I'll explain more to you later, later today possibly."

"One more question. How are you involved in the order?"

"Ah, not many people know this Lily, but I am the founder. I'll see you later Lily."

"Good-bye professor!" She called after him. Once he left, she got up and started walking around again.

"Lily! What are you doing?" Madam Pompfrey had just entered the room.

"Oh, sorry."

"You should be. You and your friends are the only people that try to sneak out of here!" She sighed. "I guess you're well enough to bet let out anyway. You're clothes are in the normal place."

"Thank you!" Lily hugged her, and then went to get her clothes from a shelf.

"Such a nice girl, too bad she always gets into so much trouble." Madam Pompfrey said to herself. Lily came back shortly after.

"Thanks again! See you soon!"

"Unfortunately, that's most likely very true." She said after Lily left the room.

Lily went down to lunch the minute she was released from the hospital wing. She heard her friends laughing before she saw them.

"Hey guys!" They all looked at Lily and broke into huge smiles. All her friends got up from the table and hugged her one at a time asking if she was OK and stuff like that.

"Great to have you back Lily." Maggie said.

"Great to be back." She replied. Lily and her friends talked until it was time for their next class. She was about to sit down when the arthrimacy teacher said "James, Sirius, Lily, the headmaster wants to see you again."

"Ooooo." Remus, Maggie, and Sam all teased. "You're in trouble!" They walked out of the room and began the journey to Dumbledore's office.

"Did Dumbledore ask you yet?" James asked. He had a protective arm around Lily's shoulder.

"Yeah, he told me in the hospital wing."

"It's kind of weird, isn't it?"

"It is Sirius, it is." Lily replied.

"Here we are again." James said. "Snickers." The door opened and they walked in.

"Hello children. Please, sit down. I have a lot of explaining to do." They sat down.

"Now, as you all now know I have asked you to join the order. I need to test you just to make sure you aren't working for the Voldemort. Will each of you please take a sip of the drink in front of you?" They each took a drink out of the goblet placed in front of them. Dumbledore went on questioning them to make sure they were truly able to join the order. In the end, they all passed.

"Now, I'm going to give each of you a ring. I know rings aren't very fashionable for boys, but you'll just have to live. You three are going to be a special team of your own. Each of you will be assigned a color. Lily, you will be red, James Blue, and Sirius yellow. If your ring ever glows your color, it means danger is near you. For example, let's say that Sirius' ring glows red. It means Lily is in trouble of some sort. Understand?" They all nodded. "There's more. Let's say the ring glows green, can you guess what this means?"

"James and Sirius are in trouble?" Lily suggested.

"Correct. If your rings are ever white, it means all three of you are in danger. Hopefully, we will never get to this point, but if they ever glow black it means you are needed to help the older members of the order in a duel. Now, you three have been assigned a special task. I'm going to be asking you three to go undercover. You may end up missing a few days of school, but it is all for a good cause. Sirius' face lit up when he found out he might get to miss school.

"Cool sir!"

"Yes Sirius, very cool." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes. "I think you will also enjoy your undercover assignments. Sirius, you will be acting as a new man in town. You will go around Hogsmeade daily and try to find out what rumors are going around. If anything has to do with Voldemort, let me know immediately. James, you are going to be madly in love with Lily, but she despises you. Lily, you're job will be esciapally important. There's a rumor going around that there is a man that goes that to the Three Broomsticks often that works for Voldemort. Try to convince him to tell you things if possible. Get anything out of as many customers as possible. It may not seem like you three are doing much, but you are really doing us all a great favor. Are there any questions?"

"Yes, do we need to disguise ourselves?" Sirius asked.

"Of course! These books I'm giving you have a list of spells you can use to disguise you. I'll be telling you when to go to Hogsmeade, except for Lily of course. I've talked to Rosemerata and she'll be giving you regular working hours, so nothing looks suspicious." Dumbledore gave them all their books of disguise.

"Thank you all. I'll be talking to you again soon. Your class is almost over, so you can just go back to your dormitories." James, Lily, and Sirius walked to of his office.

"This is weird guys." James stated.

"I know. I never dreamed I'd be doing this."

"Tell me about it." Lily said. "I have to act like I hate James and basically seduce someone who supposedly works for Voldemort. How am I supposed to do that?"

"No clue. We'd better look at those books before our friends get back."

"What are we going to tell them?" Asked Lily.

"How about Dumbledore asked us to help with a few extra things for the dance?" Sirius suggested.

"I guess that'll work. I hope they buy it." James replied.

"Me too." Lily said. "Me too."
