Lily sat in the common room by the fire. Everyone had came back to Hogwarts two days ago. She looked at her bracelet. The white orb was not longer white, but a light gray color. She sighed and stared at the fire. Voldemort was growing stronger and getting more followers. James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Alex, and Alice were playing Exploding Snap in a corner somewhere. She was very scared about the thought of Voldemort growing.

"What the matter Lily?" asked Remus. They all stopped playing and walked over to where she was sitting.

"Voldemort-" everyone twitched, except James. "- is getting stronger,"said Lily.

"How do you know?" asked Peter.

"The white orb on my bracelet isn't white anymore," Lily held up her hand so everyone could see. "It's a light gray color now."

James sat next to Lily and put an arm around her shoulders, she rested her head on his chest. "As long as we are in Hogwarts, nothing can harm us."

"I know," said Lily, "but it's just scary because I?m one of his targets, a muggle-born."

"As long as we're together nothing can hurt us," James said to the group.

"We should tell Dumbledore," said Alice.

"I reckon he already knows," said Sirius. "Dumbledore is the only one You-Know-Who ever feared, and Dumbledore wants him dead."

"I think we should tell him too," said Lily. "Just in case." They left the common room for his office.

"Er... do you guys know the password?" asked Alice.

"He changes it a lot," said James.

"Do you wish to talk to me?" Dumbledore asked from behind them. They spun around.

"Yes," said Lily. "Can we talk in your office?" She asked as she watched a prefect wander the halls.

"Of course," said Dumbledore. "Sugar Quill." The griffin stepped aside and the staircase sprug to life. Dumbledore sat at his desk and drew up seven chairs. They all sat down. "Now, what is it you wish to tell me"

"Voldemort is getting stronger," said Lily.

"How do you know this?" asked Dumbeldore.

She showed him the orb on her bracelet. "James got me this for Christmas. The orb was white, but it turns darker when evil is around and I guess when evil is growing stronger. It's a gray color now."

"Come here," said Dumbledore. Lily got up and walked around the desk. She held out her wrist for him. "Ah, yes, well if it gets any darker come straight to me... Miss Evans' why do you have a protection spell on you?"

Lily giggled. "The Hogwarts Crest has a powerful protection spell on it, the lilies will always make me smell like lilies, and the heart tells me how people feel about me."

"Well, if it gets any darker, come straight to me," said Dumbledore. They got up and headed for the door. "Do take care of Lily, James."

James looked at the headmaster. "Of course. I'll protect her with my life." Dumbledore smiled.

They went back to the common room. Lily cuddled up next to James. She felt safe when she was in his arms. Like nothing can hurt her when he was holding her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders. She wrapped her arm around his waist. Lily rested her head on his chest and listened to his heart beating in his chest.

"Everything will be fine," James said, breaking the silence between him, Lily, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Alice, and Alex.

"Can you really say that though?" asked Alex. She rested her head on Remus' shoulder. "I mean, its You-Know-Who were talking about."

"Yes, I can sat that. As long as we don't give into Voldemort, everything will be fine," said James.

"Everyone won't be fine if he kills one of us," said Lily.

"We will not be murdered by him," said James.
