Chapter Seven
They were related? No one knew, except for the Marauders and a few of the teachers. It didn't click that they had the same last name so that meant they were related. Lily felt really foolish. Here she thought that they were going out.
"So you were attacked by my students. You're a famous auror. Couldn't you take them?" Dumbledore said with a mile on his face. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Of course I could. It wouldn't be fair though since I'm so great." The teachers laughed at this.
"Why are you here?"
"I just wanted to visit James and see how he was doing. I had the week off and I figured that I would visit my brother. I needed to talk with you anyway. There were some things that you need to be filled in on." Dumbledore nodded and left the room with Gwen.
"I wonder what that's about," Sirius said.
"Gwen keeps Dumbledore up to speed since our parents can't. They have too much to do with the French government."

Later that night, the marauders went upstairs. Lily took advantage of the quiet and sat in the common room alone. Gwen came through the portrait hole. Lily looked up.
"Do you know where James is?"
"They're upstairs planning pranks." Gwen shook her head and rolled her yes. She muttered something that sounded like "boys". She took a seat across from Lily.
"What are you reading?" Lily held up the book. It was called 'Gone with the Wind'.
"Oh, that's my favorite book. Even though it's a muggle book, I still love it."
"I know. I love how the romantic tension. It kind of reminds me of my own tension."
"What's your name?"
"Lily Evans."
"Oh, I know all about you. James is such an idiot. I'm so sorry for the things he did to you. Did you know he made me tutor him in his spare time on how to be more gentlemanly around girls? I know. It's not very James- like. He's a moron but I love him."
Lily silently agreed with her. No, she told herself. James is still the same as always. He will never change.
"Well, Lily, I must be going. I need to rest for tomorrow. I get to go to classes with you tomorrow. Fun, I know."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"Why aren't you in school with us? Why do you have a job instead?"
"Oh, I, well, ask James that one. I don't like to talk about it. Good night Lily."
"Good night." Lily was just about to go to bed when she heard someone come down the boys staircases.
