Chapter 2—The Marauders Return.
After dinner and a little more conversation the girls left for home.
The week flew by rather quickly and all the rest of the aurors could do was sit around and twiddle their thumbs because there was still no hide nor hair of Voldemort. They had their suspicions on who was on the dark side but they couldn't hold them since there was no proof they couldn't do anything about it.
Soon it was time for the mysterious stealthily people who had spent the last three years in Europe in places like Romania and Transylvania. There were still no attacks and that caused great concern among the head of departments in the ministry of Magic.
'The Young men will be arriving shortly they've stopped at the washrooms to get themselves cleaned up.' Said Mundungus Fletcher.
'They arrived early this morning and I would like you all to show them around.' The boss continued and walked away to find them.
After about a half an hour he returned with a group of young men. There were six in all three of whom Lily and Sara recognized at once.
Mundungus cleared his throat, 'I would like to introduce starting from left Zane Thompson, Darren Frost, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter and Joe Trevil. They are the men that went in search of ways to bring down Lord Voldemort.'
James hadn't expected to see Lily this soon on his return. He had no idea that she and Sara were both Aurors. Well you've been away for more than three years he reminded himself. It looks like all my plans have changed. He thought he would have been briefed on the situation and have his tour around the building then he and the guys would go and look for their long lost friends, they knew once they had accepted the mission that they couldn't tell their friends where they were going and had lost all contact with them.
The boss continued, 'These are the aurors in the department form the right Anthony Hopkins, Ethan hawk, Sara bones, Gabby Porter, Anna Green, Lily Evans, Sasha Dhanaram, and Xander McPherson. I'll leave you all to get to know one another.' When he left the group moved towards one another and began to shake hands. Finally when the three boys walked up to the girls they smiled and the girls smiled back.
Finally Sirius said, 'So Sara I see you've changed your last name. You've married have you?'
'Yeah, I have and I am pregnant to.'
'You really do seem to have that pregnant glow about you.'
'If you've been throwing up all morning like I have you have that glow about you to.' 'And I see you haven't lost your sense of humour.' Said James. Then they noticed Gabby, Anne and Sasha.
'How do you do?' James said to them.
Lily then decided to say something, 'You three know Gabby and Anne. You met them that Christmas at my house.'
'Oh yes.' Said Remus recalling, 'you're witches, I didn't know that.'
'Oh yes,' said Anne, 'but you haven't met our friend Sasha. She went to school with us in Canada's witching Academy.'
Sasha meanwhile was watching Sirius curiously out of the corner of her eyes and looked up when her name was mentioned.
'Hi there. I have heard a lot about you guys.' She said.
'Really is it all good?' asked Sirius grinning.
James was looking directly at Lily, 'You remember enough of us to tell about.' 'No, but we described you guys to her that summer after 5th year when we went to Canada and the Caribbean.'
'So I believe it was mostly bad then,' said Sirius with a humorous glint in his eyes.
'How did you guess?' Sasha said laughing.
'So where did you three do these past years? We were very angry with you. You didn't even hint to when you were leaving.' Said Sara.
'Why don't we talk this over lunch?' Remus suggested.
'Fine but it wouldn't change anything.'
When they agreed the two groups separated.
'It was good seeing those two again.' Said James as if convincing himself of something.
'Yeah it was, wasn't it. It was nice seeing the other girl too.' Said Remus.
'I know what you mean my man.' Said Sirius putting his hands behind his head and started walking.
'What are you two talking about?' asked James suspiciously.
'Nothing.' Said both of them at the same time.
'Sure guys. Whatever you say.' Said James.
'Has anyone seen Peter? I thought we'd at least see him in the ministry of magic doing something or another.' Said Remus.
'I kind of had the feeling that he would still be living with his mother don't you think?'
'Yeah I know what you mean.' Said Sirius trying to keep back a smile.
The three boys had changed a lot in three years. They were of course hot as usual but they had this exotic aura about them.
And twelve O' clock found them outside a café.
'So how is everybody?' asked James.
After learning that Winter and Cindy married with in a couple of months of each other they expressed their disappointment. Remus and Sirius had dated the girls at hogwarts but had remained friends and then they mentioned that Jeanie married Matt and had twins. Meanwhile the girls looked at the boys, Sasha and Anna that is. Lily didn't look at them. Remus, thought Anna was very arresting with his fly away wisps of straight light brown hair fell, with the longest strands tracing a hard, implacable jaw.
Sasha meanwhile was looking at Sirius, his skin was taut, moulded over noticeably rigid bones, and he had a wide mouth and nose, along with dark, cautious eyes and the neat brushed back hair made him look very good indeed.
'Twins.' Sirius echoed and whistled.
'Don't be like that Sir, they're really sweet.'
'I'm not saying they aren't Lil. You know I love little kids.'
'Right Padfoot.' Said James laughing.
'And you think I don't Prongs.' Said Sirius.
'I'm no saying that old buddy but I've never seen you with a kid.'
'Well it was none of your business what I did with my spare time.' He said lightly.
'Uh Padfoot and Prongs?' asked Sasha.
'Yeah we got those names when we were at Hogwarts and this,' said James referring to Remus, 'is Moony.'
'Cool.' said Anna.
'We think so.' Said Remus.
As they went back to work they promised to stop by to see Jeanie.
'I owled her before we left and told her you guys showed up so I bet she'll be waiting to see you all today.'
'And she is pregnant again you say?' asked James.
'Yep and we know she'll be happy to see you guys, although this past week she jumped down Matt's throat for just asking if she wanted some extra take out but lucky for him he was used to it since she was pregnant with the twins for an extra couple of weeks. He didn't even mean that she was eating to much and will get fat soon but there you go.' Said Anna.
'Thanks for the warning.' Said Remus.
'No problem.' Said Anna.
'Just stay away from touchy subjects on her weight. She gains it rather quickly even though it's only her first trimester.' Said Sara.
'Sure I should know since I had a few mood swings myself.'
As they separated James was thinking I wonder what Lily has been up to this past few years.
'So how is it? I mean seeing Lily again.' Asked Sirius.
'I don't know what you mean Padfoot.'
'You know damn straight what I mean.'
'I am so over her. You know that.'
'All that I know is that you have closed down yourself from everyone. Even the few girls we saw and met the past three years you've never showed the slightest interest over.' Said Sirius.
'I don't need to be interested in a girl Sirius and besides I bet that she has moved on with her life and if I can recall she did that as soon as we broke up so I am sure she wouldn't even give a second glance in that context.' Replied James.
'Fine, I give up you do what you want.'
After work they visited Jeanie. She hugged them when they came in then she hit each one of them on the arm.
'Why didn't you tell us where you were going or at least that you were leaving?'
'We couldn't do that Jean.' Said Sirius trying to put on his puppy dog eyes.
'That might have worked when we were still back at Hogwarts, Sirius Black but not now.'
They laughed and talked a little. They got introduced to the twins and congratulated Matt when he came home. After they left they realized how much they had missed. But neither broached up the subject.
