James replied to the wizard, "We're James and Lily Potter. We have reservations made.
The wizard said, "Ah yes. Let me get my parchment here." He snapped his fingers, and a slip of parchment appeared out of thin air. "Here you are. 'James and Lily Potter. Honeymoon suite.' I'll get a house-elf to take your bags up. Follow me and I'll show you to your suite."
The three made their way up a staircase to a door. The wizard opened the door and James and Lily saw a beautifully decorated set of rooms with a balcony that had curtains blowing in the breeze.
"Well, here you are. I hope your stay is enjoyable," the wizard said as he turned to leave.
"Thank you," James and Lily said.
Once they were alone, both were a little uncertain as to what to do next. Lily decided that she was going to go unpack her things.
Lily went into the bedroom and saw that a house-elf had already brought their bags up. She sorted through the suitcases until she found hers. She figured she'd let James put his own things away. She was *not* going to play maid to him.
After Lily had put her clothes away, she went back out into the main room of the suite. She didn't see James anywhere. Wait! Why would she care? It was nicer without him. She walked a few more steps forward, then she spotted James on the balcony, looking at the night sky. He was leaning against the rail, his black hair being ruffled by the breeze.
She made a noise of disgust under her breath. She went to the nearest chair and threw herself in it with her legs hanging over one side.
Lily saw James come back in and pointedly ignored him.
"What's the matter Lily?" she heard James say. "Thinking that maybe if you pretend I'm not here, I'll go away? Sorry to disappoint you, Lily dear, but you're stuck with me 'til death do we part.'"
Lily finally turned to glare at James. Without speaking to him, she got up from the chair and went into the bedroom. She got changed into sleeping pants and a tank top and crawled into bed.
James, who was still in the main room, said to himself, "This is going to be a long week." With that, James also went into the bedroom, changed, and climbed into bed next to Lily. He thought to himself, *At least when we get back we can avoid each other more.*
* * * 2 weeks later * * *
After James and Lily returned from their honeymoon, they quickly settled into a routine. They both got up at 6:30. James took a shower while Lily got their breakfast ready. After James was done, Lily took a shower. An owl delivered the "Daily Prophet" every morning, and they read that while they had breakfast.
After they got through with breakfast and had gotten dressed, they disapparated to their offices at around 7:45.
On Lily's first day back to her job, 2 weeks since her wedding, and 1 week since they returned from their honeymoon, she arrived to find that her office was in a hectic time. Lily got shoved right into the thick of it.
"Oh Lily! Thank goodness you're back!" her co-worker, Guinivere Bryant, said as Lily appeared.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked.
"Oh. That dark wizard who's got some followers, he's started killing muggle- borns. A bunch of us are meeting a group of Aurors to decide how to handle the situation. Mr. Valancy wants you to be there."
"You could've owled me. I would've come in if you needed me."
"We weren't going to call you away from your honeymoon."
*I wish you would have.* "What time is this meeting?" Lily asked.
"8:30. Mr. Valancy wants us all to meet in his office beforehand."
"Alright, I'll be there."
At 8:20, Lily decided to head to her boss, Mr. Valancy's office. She arrived to find 5 other Investigators were there.
"Ah Lily," Mr. Valancy said. "Glad you're here. I hope your trip was alright?" Lily nodded. "Well then, let's get on with business." Mr. Valancy went on to repeat what Guinivere had said earlier.
After they apparated to a conference room, they met the Aurors that they were going to be working with. To Lily's surprise, James was in the group, along with Sirius Black. From the expressions on James and Sirius' faces, they were surprised to see her as well.
Mr. Valancy started off the meeting. "Let me introduce my staff. These are Guinivere Bryant, Colton Davies, Brandon Richardson, Ares Fraltar, Atalanta Croft, and Lily Ev- Lily Potter. And I'm Joseph Valancy."
After the Aurors were introduced, the talk turned to how to find out who were followers of the dark wizard named Voldemort.
The talk got off to a rocky start. The Aurors were all in favor of just hunting down and imprisoning or killing possible followers. The Investigators wanted to take a subtler approach, such s background checks or shadowing suspects.
"We can't just go around taking anyone who looks suspicious to Azkaban," Lily was saying.
"Well why not," James replied. "It's better to safe than sorry. You should be one to appreciate this method. You're a muggle-born. They could come for you next."
"*I* can take care of myself. But what about the innocent people who would no doubt suffer because of this method."
"Lily, we need affirmative action."
This little conversation escalated into a huge fight between the two groups, with James and Lily as the leaders. After everyone had cooled off, the meeting broke up. Lily and James sot a few withering glares at each other before they left, each planning on yelling at each other when they got home.
Okay, that's it for this chappie. I know it probably sucks but pleaz tell me what you think. Oh! And "Happy Birthday to BeCkY. This chapter is your birthday present from me. Have a fantabulous bday.
