*Undercover

"James?" Sirius asked. "Are you ok?" He had just walked into the 6th year boys dormitories. Remus had told him in the common room that James had broken up with Lily.

"Yeah, I'm ok." James said. Sirius could tell from his voice that he had been crying.

"What happened?"

"I broke up with her."

"Why?"

"Dumbledore said it would be better."

"What?" Sirius was astounded. "Why would he say that?"

"Who knows. I just hope Lily will forgive me once this whole undercover thing is over."

"That still doesn't make sense. Why would he tell you to do that? The next time we have a meeting I'm going to ask him. Are you ready to go undercover tomorrow?"

"Yeah, what's your fake name Padfoot?" Sirius smirked.

"Peter Potter."

"Where'd you come up with that one?"

"You and Peter obviously."

"Got one for me?"

"How about Remus Black?"

"That's interesting."

"Yup."

"Ok, that works. What's Lily's name?"

"It's Daisy McBride."

"Still a sweet flower." James sighed. He was heartbroken.

"James, why don't you just go tell Lily that Dumbledore wanted you and her to break up?"

"I could do that. Do you think she'd believe me?"

"She doesn't have a reason not to."

"I guess I've got nothing to lose." James started walking towards Lily's room. He could hear her sobbing before he saw her.

"Lily?"

"What do you want?"

"Can I come in?"

"No, I don't have want to see you again you bastard!" The words sunk into James heart like a rock in water.

"Can't I just talk to you?"

"You should've done that before you broke up with me!" Lily yelled. "Now get away from my room before I go tell Professor McGonagall you're up in the girls rooms!" James left, defeated. Sirius was down in the common room waiting.

"How'd it go?"

"She wouldn't even talk to me."

"It's ok James, she'll talk to you soon. Just tell her what happened when you get the chance." James sat in silence until Remus suggested they go to bed. James and Sirius were both going undercover to Hogsmeade the next day.

"Night guys." Remus said.

"Nite Remus." Sirius replied. James had already cried himself to sleep.

James and Sirius had to get up before anyone else the next day so that they could put on their disguises and get into Hogsmeade. James cheered up a little when he saw Sirius' completed undercover look.

"You're hair! It's blonde!" James teased.

"Yeah, well at least I'm 5 feet tall." James had shrunk his height a little bit.

"Hey! I've got to be taller than 5 feet. Five one at least!"

"Let's go. We don't want anyone to wake up. Oh, and James, I'm warning you, Lily is really different undercover."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, she definetly flirts a lot, and she doesn't have to do much to catch guys attention. To put it nicely, she acts like a slut."

"I don't believe you." James replied.

"See for yourself." By this time, they were already at Dumbledore's office. When they walked in, Lily and Dumbledore were chatting quietly. James caught Lily's eye for a brief second. He smiled at her, she turned away.

"Ready to go students?"

"Yes sir!" They all replied. He led the way to the secret passage Sirius and Lily had taken out of the castle for the last few weeks.

"Good luck!" Dumbledore called after them. Lily led the way with Sirius behind her and James in the rear. James didn't notice anything to unusual about her behavior or looks yet. Why would Sirius say her undercover role was basically a slut? They had reached the end of the passage. James and Sirius stayed in the secret passage for awhile while Lily went to work. If all three of them walked in together it would be a little suspicious.

"Can we go now?" James asked Sirius.

"Yeah, don't forgot that we met while you were looking for Lily, I mean Daisy."

"Right." Sirius led James into the Three Broomsticks. They sat down at the bar and waited to be served. James noticed Lily's new look right then. His jaw dropped.

"Spotted Daisy I see?"

"What is she wearing? Is there enough material for that skirt to qualify as mini? It's barely there!" Lily was wearing a very, very, short skirt. No wonder Sirius said the guys always paid attention to her. Sirius just laughed at his friends remark. A man came up behind them.

"So, Peter."

"Yes Mckenzie?" Sirius asked.

"Who'd you bring with you?"

"Oh, Mckenzie, this is Black, Remus Black."

"Nice to meet you Mckenzie." James said.

"You to Black. What brings you here?"

"Oh, I was looking for my girlfriend. Peter hear said that he thought he knew who she was."

"That I did. You know her to Mckenzie."

"Oh yeah, who is she?"

"Daisy." Sirius stated.

"Yup!" James replied.

"You're one lucky guy Black. Do you know how many guys would like to-"

"Excuse me," Lily cut Mckenzie off, "but what are you doing here Remus?"

"Why, visitng you of course darling." He looked at Lily with a puppy dog face.

"Ew!" she shrieked. "I dumped you years ago. Can't you just leave me alone?"

"You, dumped me? Excuse me, I dumped you and now I want you back. And you know I always get what I want." James was acting his undercover role, overprotective non-boyfriend very well.

"Get out! Now!" Lily was also playing her role of hating James. Sirius was just watching is amusement. His friends were very good actors.

"Not without you baby." James walked seductively to Lily and put his arms on her hips. Since he shrunk himself, Lily was taller than him now.

"Out!" Lily slapped James across the face. Mckenzie was watching with astounishment.

"Fine, but you know you want me back." James sat down and began talking casually again to the undercover Sirius.

"She's a hard one to get." Mckenzie finally said.

"I know." James replied coldly. He was supposed to act like a jerk in his role, so that's what he did. Mckenzie and Peter (Sirius) talked about who knows what for awhile. James was watching Daisy (Lily) go around and wait on tables. Almost every man was trying to hit on her. Lily was teasing them by flirting back and telling them they were all to good for her. Sirius had been right, Lily basically had to act like a slut. James was sure all she had to do was ask and almost any man would tell her information that might be useful.

"Remus?" Mckenzie interrupted his thoughts. "Staring at Daisy like that isn't going to help you get her back."

"Right." James replied. "I'll be right back, ok?" Sirius and Mckenzie nodded. James went to talk to Lily privately.

"Pst. Daisy!" Lily turned around and saw James hiding in a corner. "

"What do you want Black?" They still had to use code names in case someone was listening in on their conversation.

"To talk to you of course."

"Get away from me or I'll scream and you'll be charged for sexual assault."

"Please Daisy?" James begged.

"What do you want?"

"Thank you soo much! I didn't want to break up with you Lily, I really didn't. Dumbledore told me I should, I don't know why. It broke my heart to break up with you. Do you understand why I had to do it?" James asked. Lily let this sink in for a minute.

"You're trying to tell me that Dumbledore didn't want us together?"

"He said something about how it would interfere with our undercover assignments. By the way, nice outfit."

"You're a pervert James."

"A pervert who loves you."

"You still love me?" James and Lily were inching closer and closer to each other.

"I still love you." James kissed Lily lightly on the lips. "I always will." James began to walk away, thinking Lily didn't believe him , but Lily did. She wanted more.

"James, wait." He turned around. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him furiously. James gladly responded to her kisses. He pulled her close. His hands went further down her waist and ended up under her short skirt. They with both in bliss knowing the other still loved them.

"James?"

"Yes Daisy?"

"WE need to talk to Dumbledore, I can't live without you."

"Me neither babe, me neither." He was about to kiss Lily again when she gasped.

"James! Look at your ring!"

"Shoot! Sirius is in trouble!" Their rings had turned yellow.

"Wait, don't just walk out. Look who's out there first." James and Lily peeked out from the corner. Sirius was still talking to Mckenzie, but they could see under the table that Mckenzie was drawing his wand.

"I think that's my cue to go back out there." James walked out and took a seat next to Sirius. Mckenzie was shooting dagger eyes at James. He was glad he had come back when he did.

"So, what'd I miss?" James asked casually.

"Nothing much." Mckenzie said, grinding his teeth.

"I've got to go buy some new robes, want to come with me Peter?" James tried to tell Sirius through his eyes that they needed to get out of there fast. He got the hint.

"Ok, I could use some too. Bye Mckenzie, see you around."

"Good-bye Black, good-bye Potter." He called after them. "Or should I say James and Sirius?" He muttered to himself.
