Sorry that this is so short peoples, but I have to be at work in fifteen minutes but after reading that review that Kerry left, I just felt that I had to.
Anyway, thank you to everyone that has reviewed. I've even gotten no flames as of yet. Must be really good. It took me three months to convince myself to even put it on here.

Now here's the story
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. If I did, it wouldn't take me two years to write another book. No, kidding. Actually it probably would.
James had walked in by now and had silenced his best friend and brother by everything but blood. "Lily" the girl stiffened up immediately and turned to her boyfriend to see golden sparks of energy electrified zapping around his tender, soft brown orbs. Tears automatically began to trek down Lily's cheeks "I'm so sorry James, I just wanted to wander for a while. Forget about what I am and why I have to be so careful.
"Sweetie, don't worry about it. We'll be alone by tomorrow anyway. There won't be any Auror's to molest us 24/7. We might even go out somewhere tonight hey. Get our minds off this shit that has become our lives. But Lily, you remember one thing from now on. Don't go anywhere, even the loo without myself or Sirius. Or I won't be held accountable for how protective I'll get afterwards." Lily nodded completely understanding why James was so scared for her and Sirius's life and jumped up and hugged both boys.
Later that afternoon the Minister of Magic was at the Hyperion Hotel to try and persuade the Gryffindor heir to reconsider his retraction of the thirteen Aurors, even if they brought back the trainee and he was never seen again. But as James Potter walked downstairs leaving both of his compatriots in the apartment, the minister of magic was scared. The aura that the only member left of the eldest wizarding family in existence radiated was amazing. Everyone seemed to slink away at the amount of raw energy that the boy showed, made everyone doubt what powerful was to mean.
Everything that the Minister brought up was demolished by James, who was adamant that the Aurors were to go and that his family was to get some alone time before having to return to Hogwarts. By the end of the discussion James had had his way, but Mr Joseph ( the minister of magic) had whispered to Felix that he wanted two of them there at all times, just wondering around keeping an eye on the hotel but to stay right out of sight. That the three except maybe for Lily were to have no idea that they were being watched and that in case of extreme emergencies to have a portkey to Hogwarts with them. Felix had volunteered himself and the second eldest auror on this mission with him Michael Brown. The two were well known for their ability to be able to camouflage and blending in and became perfect nominees for the position.
That night Lily dressed in the bathroom as Sirius and James discussed her and their problems. "Siri, what are we going to do with her? We can't exactly just keep her locked up here to keep Voldemort from getting her. She's only human and needs to get outside once in a while and see the scenery. As much as I'd like to wrap her in bubble wrap and padlock her to my bed, it isn't going to work." Sirius shrugged his shoulders before replying "Well mate, as your best buddie the only advice I can offer you is to be there for her. To keep her company, keep her protected and make sure that she never has to seek out your advice, intimacy or protection."
James wholeheartedly agreed and the three eventually descended the elevator into the foyer of the hotel and left out the front door and into the sunlight. Lily walked along in front of James and Sirius and window shopped, completely oblivious to the fact that her new last name gave her more power, wealth and prosperity than most of the richest muggles in the world.
She was one of the wealthiest people in the world along with her new brothers. The boys chuckled along behind her always being used to being rich and well looked after, but still down to earth and envious of the girl in their protection and her ability to be completely oblivious to her stature and position in the wizarding and muggle world now. The hyperactive seventeen year old was now pointing out things that she'd wanted as a child and being the youngest and most disliked in her family, she had never received anything that she had begged for.
Little Lily didn't voice her thoughts out loud but James and Sirius knew them just the same. They had figured out what to do to keep Lily in their sights. The two boys had telepathically linked their minds together with Lily's and although she couldn't hear their thoughts, they could hear each others and hers perfectly.
Eventually the three ventured into an alley that many people seemed to pass. It was a wizarding alley and seemed to be really popular. But as the three teens walked in, people stopped and stared. Lily, by this point had dropped back to her brothers and was intently looking at each person to discover why they were scrutinising her so. Eventually the three reached the destination that they were heading for.
The Bank.
Lily looked suspiciously at her two companions but their faces gave away nothing and so the heir shook her shoulders and snuggled into James's shoulder and joined the large queue for the checkout. When they finally reached a teller, the woman behind the counter took one look at them thinking that they were just here to empty their piggy banks. But when James mentioned the word Potter and handed in three keys that came with the will, the woman's mouth dropped open in shock as she searched her computer for the information on the accounts.
She knew that these keys were only used for huge vaults with lots of valuables inside, and so she shakily stood and called for her supervisor. Eventually a middle aged woman arrived and she shuddered before beginning to try and pick up the keys. But before she could, James snatched them back up with a growl and demanded, "can anyone tell me what is going on. All I want to do is to withdraw some money and it seems I can't even do that. Why are you all shaking so much, it's not like there's heaps of money there, my father just said there was a couple of hundred pounds to help us out here."
The supervisor took the three teens aside toward the vault room and activated their thumb prints. To the surprise of Lily and Sirius, their thumb prints had already been integrated into the system. Eventually, half way down the hallway the lady began to explain.
"These vault keys that you hold in your hand Mr Potter are keys to only three of twenty vaults that this bank has anywhere in the world and as you would probably have guessed, these vaults being as popular as they are would not be used just to store a couple of hundred pounds. We shall get a print out of the amount of each vault to show you how much each of you have inherited."
The three eventually reached their separate vaults and the three staff members that accompanied them opened the doors and swiftly returned the keys. Lily's Sirius's and James's mouths dropped open in shock, especially Lily's, she had been brought up in the muggle world and had never seen this much money before in her life.
Then a voice spoke up behind her "this vault belongs to Lilian Eliza Potter. Descendant of Harold Potter and Godric Gryffindor and the contents of this vault checked of last at the 11th of September 1971, was at approximately seventeen billion pounds and $745,000,000 worth of family heirlooms", mainly paintings statues and other several pieces of weaponry, books and priceless things that had been given to her."
