Chapter 14
"Albus what are you doing here?" James said as the headmaster of Hogwarts apperated in their living room. Ever since they had graduated from Hogwarts Dumbledore had insisted that they call him Albus, it had taken quite a while to get used to it. "Can't an old man visit his nephew?" He said with a twinkle in his eye. Albus had been like a father to James since his own passed away. He walked towards James who held Harry in his arms; James stood up and passed Harry over to Albus. Any other baby would surly get moody at the amount of times he had been shifted around, but not Harry he took the constant passing around in his stride or should that be crawl. He was the pass the parcel baby. Albus held the small Harry in his arms, who cooed happily. He sat down on the coach with the little wriggling bundle in his arms. "There was another reason for me visit. We need your help. Voldemort is gaining power, his followers are causing havoc, I think he is going to try and seize power." Dumbledore's normally laughing eyes were serious. James looked at his steadily, it was hardly surprising that Albus had come to them for support. The Heir of Grifindor against the Heir of Slytherin, What Albus didn't know was that there was not only the one Heir of Slytherin. James knew about his heritage from third year when Dumbledore had felt that he would be able to deal with it, they could trace his line all the way back to Gordic Grifindor himself. Albus half smiled. "I know what you are thinking, it is not only your heritage that had made me come to you to ask for help, I am asking as many of your year as I can. The only way we can defeat Voldemort is if we stand together. It is your age group that has the right combination of knowledge and youth." James nodded slowly. "I will do all I can to help." He looked up suddenly; Lily was standing in the doorway. "Did you hear?" Albus asked, Lily nodded. "You have my support, I will do anything in my power top help defeat him." She said anger burning in her eyes. If Albus noticed the look he didn't say anything about it. "So what have these. Death Eaters been up to?" Lily asked, she had been debating whether or not she should tell them that she knew what Voldemort supporters were called. She decided that they should know. They all looked at her, at the use of the term Death Eater. "Death Eater?" James asked. "Voldemort's supporters, they are the Death Eaters, or they should be. They thrive on death, it is what sustains them. It seems the perfect name." Lily knew that this was what Voldemort called them, he has told her in a dream he had even invited her to join him, imagine where she told him to stick his offer, Voldemort was less than amused. No one knew that Voldemort was still in contact with Lily, not even James. It didn't happen all that often but t did happen. James looked at her as if he suspected something. But Albus cut in before he could confront her. Dumbledore nodded. "Your are right, it is a fitting name, and a name reduces the fear of the thing itself. Hopefully a name will help." James forgot his suspicions as a question came to his mind. "Do we know any of the death eaters?" He asked. Albus nodded sadly. "There are a few that have come from your year. Ivy Parkinson, Cameron Lestange, Severus Snape." Lily took in a sharp intake of breath at Severus' name, he always had an affinity with the darker magic's but she never really believed that he would turn to her father. James took it all in silently a knowing look on his face, he had always seen the worse in Snape but Lily knew that he wasn't all bad, he had been kind to her. "Snape, that slimy git, how could he. And Ivy she well I always knew she was a slut but evil, well. Cameron that is hardly surprising he was a bastard at school practically an evil lord himself." They both let James have his own monologue, Albus almost smiled at his colourful language he had resorted to the way he spoke at school. "What do you need us to do?" Lily asked. "I don't know yet, but even just having people to speak out against him will be a valuable asset." Lily nodded. She would do anything Dumbledore asked her, anything she could do to bring down Voldemort.
