A/n Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and a big thanks to Kase for reviewing my last two chapters.

Two new characters are mentioned this chapter, I own both of them.

Disclaimer: in the first chapter:

Just a game

Chapter seven

James saw that it was two people not one and they were Snape and Malfoy, he heard Malfoy mutter

"...But who would have made a copy" as they passed.

"This has got something to do with Evans" said Snape.

As soon as Snape and Malfoy had gone off down the corridor, Lily said.

"I think we should get back to the Gryffindor common room" James could tell by her voice that she was worried that Snape thought it had something to do with her.

They walked quickly though the corridors to the portrait of the fat lady. James took the invisibility cloak off both of them.

"What are you two doing up at this time..."

"Sphinx" James said so the portrait had to let them into the Gryffindor common room, letting them avoid the lecture she was about to give them.

"Can I look at the letter?" Lily asked not having seen it yet. James handed it to her without saying anything.

Lily looked at the letter but she couldn't understand it anymore the James had.

"What do you think we should do about it?" He asked.

"I'm not really sure, if we could understand what it said it would help" Lily muttered.

"I agree it would be much easier to do something about it if we knew what it said" agreed James.

"There must be a way to know what it says" Lily said thoughtfully.

They both were silent trying to think. Then the entrance to the common room opened and Sirius walked in.

"Sirius what are you doing up at this time?" Asked James.

"I was trying to pull off that plan I told you about but I found a letter and forgot about the plan" Sirius replied.

"What sort of letter was it?" James asked.

Sirius pulled a piece of parchment out of his pocket and gave it to James. It was a letter written in the same code as the one James and Lily had found.

"Lily can I have the other letter?" He asked Lily gave it to him without asking why.

"What other letter?" Asked Sirius.

"We found a letter as well" answered Lily.

"Both of them are written in the same code" James remarked putting them down on the table.

"Can either of you understand what they say?" Asked Sirius sounding hopeful.

"Afraid not" said Lily.

"Is there anyone we know who isn't a professor that knows a lot about codes?" Asked James.

The three sat thinking for a while.

"The only person I can think of is Eleanor Samuel, Kelly's sister" said Lily.

Kelly Samuel was in Gryffindor sixth year; she got on well with the Marauders, as she was a bit of Prankster. Her sister Eleanor was the complete opposite to Kelly, she was hard working and always got top marks but she was in Ravenclaw and her seventh year.

"Eleanor would tell a professor about the letters" said Sirius not sounding happy that Eleanor was the only person they had came up with.

"I don't think she would not if I asked her not to" replied Lily but Sirius still didn't look happy.

"We'll talk about this in the morning" said James

It was the next morning and Lily, Carla and Olivia were going down to breakfast, they were earlier than they normally were on a Sunday that was because it was Hogsmead weekend.

Lily yawned; it was about the sixth time she'd yawned it the last minute.

"What time did you get to sleep last night?" Asked Olivia.

"I think it was about four this morning" replied Lily as they walked into the great hall.

Lily noticed that James and Sirius didn't seem tired at all, maybe they're used to staying up most of the night she thought as she sat down.

A/n I'm sorry this chapter is shorter than the last one but I've been reading The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman it's a really good book. I haven't asked you to review yet have I? please review.

Thanks

Andrea
