a/n: im sry if the first time i tried to post this i did it wrong
oops!!!
disclaimer: this is the only one for this whole story, so here goes: characters and setting are j. k. rowling's, as is anything else u recognize. plot and some spells are mine, and that's it *sobs*
Grumbling, Lily left the Leaky Cauldron. Well, Tom had been absolutely no help! She was sorely disappointed in that man. Tom might be considered by some to be a mercenary, but Lily knew he gave false information to those who offered money. It insulted his integrity to have someone think he would lie right off.
Lily wandered through the streets of Diagon Alley, and she blended in perfectly. She stopped at store windows, went into shops as though she was buying something, and smiled and waved at imaginary friends that everyone else assumed were there. As she headed toward Knockturn Alley, She muttered, "I'm starting to think that I'm too good at this job."
She headed towards a run-down little shack on the nastiest side of the alley. Her image had changed almost immediately as she entered the alley. Lily scowled at everyone, she had her hand twitch as though itching for her wand, and she expertly gave off the appearance of a shady character.
As she entered The Death Row, she took note of the people outside the shop. You could always tell what kind of a day it was at Knockturn Alley by the people outside. An old lady, a hag, and a suspiciously vampire-like man. Hmmm, it looks like he's been getting a couple of questioners in there. The hag hissed as she passed, and Lily hissed back ferociously. The hag, satisfied, sat back down on the muddy alleyway.
Entering the shop, she heard Ratskin call out, "No customers today! Sorry miss-"
Grabbing Ratskin by his neck over the counter, Lily hissed, "I'm not customer, Ratskin, and you know it. Now clear out your shop." She twitched her hand suggestively of what might happen if he didn't heed, and he obediently sent all the hags, workers, and God-knows-what-else's outside.
"You been ratting on me?" Lily said. She always slipped into a rough way of talking out here; it helped to disguise her. She knew him only as Ratskin, and he knew her only as Dragon's Blood.
"N-no, Dragon's Blood, I swear. P-people came around n-nosing earlier today, b-but I wasn't telling n-nothin' 'bout yous, honest!" Lily glared at him from under her hood. It was quite a disconcerting picture, with only her eyes showing, red in anger. "I-I swears it o-over m-me own w- wand!"
Nodding gruffly, Lily said, "Any news 'bout a Malfoy?"
Shaking his head, Ratskin said, "N-no, not n-nothin'." Lily promptly grabbed him and threw him against the wall quite easily; it was obvious he hadn't eaten in a few days.
"That ain't the answer I want."
Scrambling up from a heap on the floor, Ratskin said, "I-I hears what y- yous been doin's, ratting us'n's ou-outta them d-dirty Aurors."
Lily walked over to him and grabbed by the throat, pulling him up and holding him, dangling him an inch above the floor. "I only takes care'v what's interferin' with my bizness. You don't want no ones interferin' with my bizness, do yous?"
"N-no, Dragon's Blood, but t-turnin' 'em in, a-ain't that k-kinda harsh?"
"Woulja rather I had 'em taken care of? I can have you taken cares of, if that's whachu wants-"
"N-no! P-please! That d-dirty Malfoy came strollin' 'round here yesterday like, snooping up some k-kinda vampire tooth all snooty like."
"Did he say want he wanted it for?"
"C-course not. P-please, I c-can't breathe-" and Lily dropped him, gasping, to the floor. She threw him 10 galleons, her customary pay, and said, 'Yous better be right,', her customary threat, and then she walked out.
"M-member, I says nothin'!" he called after her retreating back.
Lily walked out, maintaining her 'Give Me a Reason to Kill You' image. She headed back towards Diagon Alley, and the hag followed her. As soon as Lily reached the edge of Knockturn Alley, and hand grabbed her neck and a wand pushed into her back. Preparing to fight, Lily was dragged back into the shadows.

THE END
lol j/k i wouldn't do that to u guys
sry, but i had to (couldn't resist)

"Stay calm, it's ok," a voice hissed in her ear. The hairs on the back of Lily's neck stood on end. There was something familiar about that voice. . .
"Turn around real slow, and don't reach for your wand- I got you covered." Lily slowing turned around, ready to fight with her fists if necessary. She found herself facing the hag from outside the run-down shack. But wait- there was no way a hag would have such a sparkle in their eye.
"We're gonna take a walk into Diagon Alley. You're not gonna believe what you're gonna see, But I promise you that it's real." Tensed, Lily tried to decipher the strange meaning of the words. She began walking, with the "hag" a little behind her. After a few minutes, she turned her head, and stared. James. . .
***************************************************
"I've been stuck in those damn dungeons for five years now. I don't know where they are, except that they're surrounded by a forest," James concluded. Lily nodded, not trusting herself to speak with James there. "Lily?"
She snapped out of her reverie. "Yeah?"
"You ok"
"Yeah. It's just a bit of a shock-"
James smiled, and pulled at her. "C'mon. Let's go somewhere where we can talk."
"My place?"
"Sure."
Together, they Apparated to Lily's house.
"We need to find out where you were, James. A Memory Charm won't help; you never saw how you got in. There's a Telling Potion that would work, but I can't get the ingredients fast enough."
James thought for a bit. Then, smiling, he said, "You willing to take a trip to Hogwarts?"
"What?"
***************************************************
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this," Lily muttered. Hand in hand, she and James were racing stealthily through the halls of Hogwarts. They raced towards Snape's stores, and stole the necessary ingredients: lacewing, werewolf hair, . . .
After 10 minutes of filching, Lily motioned for James to stop. "Filch," she mouthed. "Shit!" James mouthed back.
Filch passed by the door, and Lily and James wordlessly agreed to leave now. They ran through the halls, towards the front entrance. This time, it was James who stopped Lily. "McGonagall." They turned, and then "Filch." Great. They were trapped in a long hallway, with no classrooms to hide in, and no invisibility cloak.
James looked at Lily for a second. "Did you notice all the students in Hogsmeade?" Getting the message, Lily said, "The blond pair?" Smirking, James nodded. Sighing (or pretending to), Lily whispered, "Whatever it takes."
Together, they stripped down t boxers (James), a bra and her jeans (Lily). They performed the necessary spell to look like the pair, and made a pile of their clothes, concealing the bag. Shoving Lily against the wall, they began to work. Oh gods, Lily thought, this is. . . mmm. . .
Soon, they were no longer acting, and Lily was sorely disappointed when McGonagall rounded the corner.
"Mr. Bronchowitz! Ms. Snallar! Go to your dorms immediately!" McGonagall was bright red. "To your INDIVIDUAL dorms!"
With that, she stormed away towards Filch. Lily and James hurriedly dressed and ran out, making it out of the castle. Laughing, they walked off the grounds, and Apparated back to Lily's place.
Once there, they began to talk again. James asked Lily how she'd been, and she said, "I've been terrible. I couldn't believe you were dead, and I just couldn't get over it."
James looked at her. Continuing, she said, "When you were gone, life just didn't seem worth living."
There was a long, uncomfortable pause, until James said, "I always thought, that if I got out, you'd be the last person I'd ever want to see again. and the only one I'd ever want to see again." Lily looked up at James, and he walked over to her. "Since we're already warmed up," he said, pulling off her shirt and pulling her towards him.
**************************************************
Lily woke up from their heavy duty make out (not sex, snogging for u brits and other peeps). She rolled over to look at James, and panicked. There was blood on the floor, as though someone had been wounded and dragged. And James. . . was gone.
a/n: sry for the cliché, but it's the end of day 1. sry for the wait too, but i didn't know where to go with it. im planning on updating again over the break, so yeah
