Kelsey Cooper woke up the next morning in a good mood. She had forgotten the dream that she had involving her aunt. She, Brianna, Stacy, Alice, and Marcie all made their way down to breakfast laughing over how they managed to make the substitute teacher cry when they kept doing stupid things through out the lesson. When the first bell rang to start class they all turned their desks around, and when the last bell rang they put them right again.
"Old McGonagall is going to have a fit when she finds out about that!" Marcie said as they entered the Great Hall and took their usual seats at the Gryffindor table.
"You know it's too bad that those Marauders graduated last year, school has been so boring without them and their pranks." Alice said, buttering a piece of toast and then jamming almost the whole thing in her mouth.
"Yeah, and they didn't care what we did when Potter and Evans were the heads, they were either to busy fighting or too busy making out," Stacy said, also buttering toast. The others nodded their heads in agreement as the owl post came in.
Kelsey was a little startled that she actually got a letter, and even more startled that it was from the Ministry of Magic.
"Dear Miss Kelsey Cooper,
We are sorry to inform you that you're aunt, Selma Cooper, has passed away. She was killed by a group of Death Eaters last night at 12:58 P.M. We are sorry for your loss, as from her last written will; you will be staying with her friend, Caitlyn Stevens.
Sincerely,
Ministry of Magic"
She put the note down and looked at her friends who were all watching her. "She's.She's dead," she said before running out of the room, leaving the letter on the table.

"Padfoot, where's Wormtail?" Remus asked, sitting down at the kitchen table. "For that matter, where's James?"
"Wormtail is.well I don't know where Wormtail is, but Prongs is probably over at Lily's." Sirius said, his head resting on the table. "Do you know where there's any Advil?" he asked, looking up and rubbing his temples.
"Nope, but it's your own fault for getting drunk last night." Remus said, shaking his head and chuckling. "And you say you were celebrating for Lily and James. It would've made a hell of a lot more sense if they were here when you were celebrating for them Paddy,"
"Don't call me Paddy!" Sirius whined. The two sat chatting and exchanging friendly insults for a few moments, when there was a pop and Peter walked in to the kitchen. His eyes widened considerably when he saw his friends.
"Wormtail! Where did you go?" Sirius asked, "Moony about had a stroke thinking that he was going to have to entertain me all day,"
"I.I can't say," Peter said, stammering nervously, completely missing the joke. "What.What are you doing up? You are never up now." He said. "I have to go," he said grasping his arm in pain, "To...to the doctors," there was another pop and he was gone.
"Well looks like he actually is having a stroke," Remus said, staring at the spot where his friend was only a few seconds before.
**
"Pettigrew, So sorry to call you back, so I'm not sorry, but you forgot something," a cold voice hissed as Peter walked into a dark, slightly damp room. Peter searched his mind and couldn't think of anything he forgot.
"I'm...I'm sorry master," he managed to stammer out. Soon he was looking into the cold red slatted eyes of Lord Voldermort. "I won't let it happen again." He added, a harsh laugh sounded throughout the house at this statement.
"I'll let it go this time Pettigrew," he said, then lowered his voice to a hiss, "if you bring me Jeffery Potter"
**
A month had passed, and to Peter's great relief, Sirius and Remus forgot about his sudden arrival and disappearance, and they hadn't told anyone else. He was currently outside the Potter Manor in his rat form. He was to wait until some one opened a door to enter. He could see why his master wanted Jeffery Potter, he was a great wizard, and an aurora, and not to mention one of his best friend's father.
Peter regretted falling asleep on the bench in Hogsmeade a night before his strange appearance in his apartment saying he was going to the doctor. He didn't want to be a Death Eater at first, but it was starting to get exciting, even more so than sneaking out of school at night and coming within inches of being caught and expelled.
Master was finally sending him out on missions, and his first one, if he succeeded, would make him very popular among the Death Eaters. Jeffery Potter had caught 30 of the best Death Eaters in a little over two years according to his master. Peter doubted that he would be able to catch him, but then the drive of being accepted took over, and he wished more than anything to be accepted.
'You were accepted. You were accepted by your friends, you know those guys you live with,' a little voice in his head said. 'Yes, but I want power! I don't want to be just a member of any old group.' he countered. 'Ah, but you did have power.' Before he could think anything else, the door opened, and he scurried in under the feet of on of the house elves, who thankfully didn't notice him.
He snuck up the stairs to the room that he remembered as James's parent's bedroom from his many stays at the manor. He snuck in under the crack in the door, and saw that both of his parents were sleeping. "Ah master will be most pleased with this!" he thought excitedly. "He said there would be a bonus for getting the wife" he thought gleefully as he changed into human form and took out his wand.
He crept over to the bed and muttered a curse under his breath, 'petrificus totalus', he repeated the curse, and then he went looking through the house for any other person that he could take in. He heard a noise coming from James's room, and then he remembered that he and Lily were visiting for the week. A feeling of regret flowed into his veins and he slowly snuck back down the hall to Mr. and Mrs. Potter's room.
He grabbed both of the petrified bodies and then tried to apparate, forgetting that they had an antiappaparation field up around their house. Muttering under his breath, he charmed the bodies to float along behind him. He went out side, and into the woods outback. This time he succeeded in getting the bodies back to his master.
**
James and Lily were sitting in his bedroom at the manor his parents owned playing a game of chess that Lily was losing quite badly.
They were laughing about how Lily's pieces refused to move anywhere for her when James heard footsteps outside his room. He peeked his head out and saw that there was no one but a figure in a black cloak walking down the hall. He figured that his father had just gotten home from a late night death eater raid and went back to the game.
A few minutes later, after they had finished the game, they were sitting by the window talking when Lily pointed something strange out. James looked out the window and gasped. The figure wasn't his father that was coming home from work. It was a death eater, it had to have been. He looked closer, he knew that person from some where but he couldn't think of them at that moment.
"We should go tell someone," Lily said, looking down out the window, "Because I think those might be your parents."
"Come on, we'll go to Dumbledore, He'll know what to do," James grabbed a pinch of floo powder and told Lily to do the same. She looked at him skeptically, "There aren't really dragons in there!" Soon they were both sitting in the Headmasters office, telling him what had happened.
"I see, well we will do everything in our power to save your parents, James," he said, stroking his long white beard. "I've been meaning to ask you something," he continued. "How would you feel about becoming something like an aurora? I'm afraid I can't pay you, but you do most of the things an aurora does, only you don't fight the death eaters, we track them down and turn them in to the ministry, let them to the dirty work,"
Lily and James glanced at each other, and then turned back to their former headmaster and nodded their heads. "Ah good, now would you mind asking your friends, I do believe that you are still close with Mr. Black, Lupin and Pettigrew,"
"Sure thing Professor."
**
"Ah Pettigrew, what do you have for us this evening?" The cold voice of Lord Voldermort asked, his voice echoing around the hall that was filled with hundreds of death eaters.
"The.The Potters, Master," he said, bringing them forward and bowing. "They're still alive sir," he added stepping back into his place in the circle of Death Eaters.
"Both of them Pettigrew?" he asked, his red eyes burning into Peter.
He stepped forward once again. "Yes Master," then he stepped back.
"Ah very good,"
