Desperate times

"Headmaster let me get this straight…you want to send Sirius with Snape back to the Death Eaters?" James tried to comprehend the older wizard's plan.

"As you know Mr. Potter desperate times call for desperate measures and we are in desperate times. So many of the order have been captured and the only chance we have to save them is to have more insiders when we strike. So I think they will believe if Sirius in light of the horror of watching the werewolf devour his two closes friends decided to help Severus bring Remus to the Death Eaters as a prisoner." Dumbledore paced as he explained his plan, he knew it was dangerous. He also knew they were out of options.

"I think it's brilliant headmaster. By infiltrating the enemy's strong hold we gain the upper hand." Sirius was wired this plan had gotten his adrenaline going the thought of being a spy had always thrilled him.

James looked at his friend like he'd grown a second head. "Sirius you can't be serious? This is like walking into the lion's den, and all the lions are starving. Sirius they'll EAT YOU ALIVE."

"James I know it's risky but it's my decision and I'm willing to risk my life to say all the others." Sirius looked very proud of himself. He had a right to be proud he was the only man for this job.

James gritted his teeth "Fine you want to risk your life that's all fine and great Sirius but are you willing to risk Remus's?" Sirius's thoughts of his daring rescue were broken.

"That's true headmaster, Remus isn't in any condition to go along with this plan."

"I know. But I'm afraid that the charade won't be believable with out Remus." Dumdledore's eyes got cold. "My boys sometimes in times of war hard decisions have to be made. One life to save many. Whether we like it or not." Dumbledore turned from them his mind was made up sad as it made him to have to ask Remus to do what he was asking. "Mr. Potter it is my understanding that you are in possession of an invisibility cloak." Dumbledore still did not look at them.

"Yes headmaster I am." James nodded than realized what Dumbledore was saying.

"Good now go; we have no more time to waste. Good luck and god speed. Remember the order will converge at witching hour tomorrow night."

"Remus you aren't dead, we all made it." Lily said calmly. "You're alive we're all alive."

"Lily? Where are James and Sirius? How did we?" Remus wanting to believe what Lily was saying reached out and touched her hair with some pain from his wounded back and shoulder. "But it was hopeless."

Lily nodded her head and shivered at the fear she had known. Remus recoiled back from her as if the chill in her body had burned him. Lily didn't realize that she had hurt him. "It was hopeless till Dumbledore came and lifted the barrier. Just in time I might add." Lily thanked her lucky stars one more second trapped in that cave and she would have been dead or worse: infected with Lycanthropy.

"But how did Dumbledore know?" Remus was amazed at the luck that must have been in their favor… to have them all come out alive.

"I brought him." Severus Snape came threw the infirmary doors, Lily gasped at the presence of the Death Eater and Remus pushed Lily behind him and growled softly.

"No need for that Lupin we're all on the same side here." Snape drew his wand and stalked forward. "Come now there's no time for this, you have to come with me Dumbledore has a job for you." Snape still held his wand to the ready.

"What?" Remus asked thinking he must have truly lost his mind.

"Anyway, sit down before you fall down Lupin you're in no condition to defend anyone." Snape threatened and Remus stood glaring.

"Expleiamus." James shot Snape's wand from his hand. "do not threaten my friends Snape." James fumed as Lily ran to his side and Sirius helped an exhausted Remus to the bed.

"James what's Severus doing here?" Lily asked.

"He's on are side." James spat.

"you're not kidding are you?" Remus's shock mirrored everyone in the rooms.

"Sadly no he's not." Snape hissed back at them. "And yes Dumbledore has a job for us and we have to go it's getting late." Severus looked at the clock; he knew Malfoy would be heading into the Forbidden Forest soon to see what remained of his victims. Snape knew he would have to meet up with the Death Eater's there with Black and Lupin in tow.

"A job what job?" Lily demanded.

"Lily many of the Order have been taken captive by the Death Eaters Dumbledore feels that the only way for us to get as many of them out alive as possible we need more men on the inside so he wants Sirius to join Snape and take Remus in as a prisoner."

"What?!" Lily did not like the sound of this at all. "You can't, did you say this was Dumbledore's idea? Of all the stupid dangerous things I've heard over the years this is the worst." Lily's hands were planted firm on her hips as if daring the young men to try and go through her.

"Look I know it's crazy but… 'Desperate times call for desperate measures and these are desperate times.'" James quoted Dumbledore in attempt to bring the plan some kind of justification.

"But Remus is in no condition to go anywhere. He just woke up. It was a hard night. And..and." All of Lily's thoughts ran together till she couldn't get one coherent argument out.

"It's alright I'll go with Remus under my invisibility cloak." James said sadly knowing he had no choice but to go into this dangerous situation to help his friends and leave Lily his love behind.

"James No, you can't go we already had our life and death moment this week there isn't room for another. Did Did anyone even ask Remus if he agreed with this?" Lily was grasping at thoughts now. James and the unusually quiet Sirius looked at Remus.

"I don't think the choice is mine but if it were I'd go anyway." Remus leaned hard on his right hand and held his side with his left. He knew he wasn't ready to go anywhere but it didn't matter much to him, he would do the job Dumbledore set for him.

"Alright then it's settled. Say your goodbyes and come on we haven't got much time." Severus grabbed his wand up off the floor and grandly exited the infirmary with his robes billowing behind him.

Sirius Helped Remus up "Sorry you've got to do this buddy, I know it's been a rough night." Remus nodded.

"Goodbye Lily." James hugged her tenderly.

"Don't say that James Please." Dumbledore was going to get a piece of her mind at the end of this war.

"I love you Lily Evans."

"I love you too James."

"Marry me when I get back."

Lily smiled sadly "I will, when you get back."
