Daily Prophet News Flashes started coming no less than three times a day, each reporting three or four murders or tortures. Muggle families had become new targets, but according to Dumbledore only families that had future Hogwarts students in them.

These special Daily Prophet Flashes also contained the some what good news too. People were being caught or at least named. Travers was traced back to the murder of the McKinnons and Beltrix Lestrang was traced to the murder of Amy Stephens, although neither were caught. Nott was caught for torturing three muggle families over the past 3 weeks.

Molly Weasley's cousins Gideon and Fabian Prewett were murdered a few day earlier by no less than five death eaters. Only two had been named so far, Crabbe and Goyle. Molly was taken by surprise with this attack. She had just named them god parents to her new born twins Fred and George who were born earlier in April.

Either the Ministry of Magic was doing something right or this was all Voldemort's plan. Barty Crouch, a ministry official, was taking charge over the situation and just recently granted the permission to Aurors to use the Unforgivables on suspected Death Eaters as they called themselves. Crouch was becoming very powerful and popular in the Ministry. Some say he is up for the job of Minister of Magic.

Augustus Rockwood was also proving to be very useful in the Ministry. He supposedly prevented three break ins to the Department of Mysteries where he worked. It was his job to analyze the attacks and try to figure out the meaning behind them. So far, he hadn't come up with much, but he was coming close.

James spend his nights in uneasy sleep. He had known a lot of the suspected murderers from school, some he had even known personally, like Regulus Black and Beltrix Lestrang. Avery and Rosier had hung out with Snape along with Wilks and Mr. Lestrang. He sometimes found himself wondering whether Snape was a death eater or not. Snape certainly looked the type with his greasy hair and all.

James reflected back on the day when he started hating Snape. It was over Lily if he was remembering correctly. Lily had always shown some sort of sympathy for Snape and they got along pretty well together for a while. Then one day Snape and Lily got into a fight over something and James remembered Lily running across the grounds looking furious. He later found out that the reason for her rage was the fact that Snape had called her a mudblood.

James had hunted him down right then and there and hexed him. From that day on James has hated Snape, all because he called Lily a mudblood. Lily and Snape stopped hanging around each other, much to James' relief, shortly after. He would never forget that day in their fourth year. He hated Snape so much. He couldn't understand how Snape could call the most beautiful, smart, perfect girl in the world a mudblood. It blew his mind.

All that mattered now was that she was safe and sound. He loved her and she loved him. He looked over at her and smiled. She was sleeping and hopefully having a good dream. James had no way of knowing as her face was blank. Maybe she wasn't dreaming at all. He rested his chin on her chest and closed his eyes. For some reason sleep came easier when he was closer to her.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily carefully walked down stairs into the kitchen where James was waiting to serve her afternoon tea. She was happy for some odd reason, happier than she had been since the accident. "Hello James," she said as she stepped into the threshold of the kitchen.

"Hey Lily love," he greeted her.

"Do I get to be led to my seat like at the fancy restaurants?" she smiled.

James laughed and put on his fake 'rich and royal voice'. "Of course madam, right this way," he said stretching out an arm for her.

Lily laughed as she felt her back hit the back of their kitchen chairs. "Any exciting news to read?" she asked hesitantly.

"No, and be thankful for that," said James as he poured the tea.

"I am thankful then," she smiled.

"What has got you in such a good mood?" he asked.

"I had a dream about that little boy last night. Whenever I see him I get really happy," she said.

"I see," said James.

"I don't know what it is about that little boy James," she said as she shook her head.

"Me either," James said nervously.

"Is something wrong? You sound tense," asked Lily.

"No, nothing is wrong. I have been thinking about that little boy as well," said James.

"I see. Care to continue that thought?" she asked.

"Do you really think that he is our future son?" asked James.

Lily shrugged and sipped her tea. "He certainly looks like he could be our son," she said.

"Really Lily. Do you think he could be our son?" asked James.

Lily frowned. "I don't know," she said finally. "I guess we'll find out someday," she smiled.

James found himself smiling as well. "Are you saying that you want another baby?" he asked.

"I might be saying something like that," she smiled again.

"We'll see what happens," James replied, kissing her.

Lily laughed. "Well I didn't mean right now, it is tea time right now," she said.

James pouted. "And nothing can interrupt tea time, right?" he said.

Lily frowned again and sighed. "I don't want to try to have a child until I know whether my blindness is permanent or not," she said.

James smiled. "They did say that there was hope," he said.

"I just want to be sure. I don't want my child to have a blind mother," she sighed.

"It wouldn't matter, you'd love it just the same. And it would love you, just like I love you," he said.

Lily smiled weakly. "I'd still like to know about my condition first," she said.

"Well it's not like you have cancer or something," he said.

"And I'm grateful for that," Lily sighed.

There was a silence as they sipped their tea, broken by a sharp tap on the kitchen window. James looked up and Lily held her breath. "What is it James?" asked Lily.

"Two owls," he said. "One from the Ministry and one from the Daily Prophet," he added.

James recognized the letter that the Ministry owl was holding. It was black with white writing, the ones that get delivered when someone dies. This letter was addressed to Lily Potter. "Shit," sighed James.

"What? Another attack?" she asked.

"I don't know, probably," he said.

"Who?" she asked.

"The black letter will explain," said James.

"The 'death letters?'" asked Lily softly.

"Yeah, the 'death letters'" James responded.

"For who?" Lily asked as she held her breath.

"You," said James handing her the letter.

"Read it to me?" she asked.

"Open it and I'll read it," said James as he unrolled the Daily Prophet.

His heart fell as he saw the front page. He knew who had died. Lily opened the letter and handed it to him. He opened the letter and drew in a long breath. He read:

"Dear Mrs. Lily Potter,

We are dreadfully sorry to inform you that at eleven-twenty-five this morning the Evans residence in London was attacked by death eaters. They killed your parents and little parakeet that was in the front hall. We had never expected this to happen and we are dreadfully sorry. We will let you make any arrangements needed.

-Elle Lockhart

Ministry of Magic"

Lily felt her heart tare apart as the letter sank into her. She felt part of herself die with in her. She felt empty.

"Lily I'm so sorry," James said through his tears.

Lily's face was dry from shock. "Tell me I'm dreaming."

"I can't lie to you. This isn't a dream," said James.

A/N- Well there goes Lily's parents. Sorry for the sucky chapter, I needed to post something. I want to respond to reviewer, I don't know if she is still reading but here is my response.

Me.- I have heard that James was a chaser in the books, but I couldn't find it any where in them, not that I don't believe you, I do. So I went off of the movies and put him as a seeker. Yes Sirius WAS the secret keeper, I suggest you re-read book 3. I established the ages of the Weasley's later on, thanks for helping though. Finally I would like to say that I did not know when Peter started spying. I needed him to start as a spy early in the story to lead up to other events. Thanks for reviewing, hopefully you are still reading!!

One last thing before I move on. Some of you have been asking me to write an AU story continuing from this fic in which Rose, Harry, Lily and James are all living happily ( or at least some what happily) together. I am considering it. Here's what I'll do. I am going to finish up this fic and do another story as an 'alternate ending' sort of thing. But I have to finish this one first.

Next order of business- The hidden meanings contest ended yesterday and no one sent me hidden meanings except for the people who sent them in before the contest started, so I am forced to choose one of them. So the winner is man eating plant who found 16 hidden meanings. Congrats...place your desired roll in a review, (hint: I am short on death eaters...) lol. Whatever. Here are the hidden meanings that I hid.

Hidden meanings: Points contain OotP spoilers.

1. He stood up and tried to push the people out of his way, but he kept being pushed down by Hagrid who was telling him, "You don't want to see this Mr. Potter."

A lot of this chapter is James feeling a little like Harry does in the OotP. Example- James is trying to figure out what is happening to Rose on the Quidditch pitch and Hagrid keeps pushing him back. This relates to Harry in a way. Harry is always trying to figure out why the Order won't let him join the discussions or know what is going on right in front of his nose.

2. It was Sirius, just laughing at him, laughing and laughing. James shot a spell at him and Sirius yelled, "Come on! Is that the best you've got?"

James hit him again with another spell and Sirius fell backwards with a look of mild shock on his face although the laughter never left his eyes. He fell back through a sheet of thick fog and disappeared. James ran to find his friend and found that he wasn't there. He started calling for him over and over when Remus came into view. James called out for his friend. "SIRIUS! SIRIUS!"

"There is nothing that you can do, James," Remus said calmly.

"I could go find him! I need to find him! He only just disappeared!" James protested.

"It is too late, James," said Remus.

"I can still get him!" said James angrily.

"There is nothing you can do, James, he is gone," said Remus slowly, letting every word sink in.

"He hasn't gone!" James yelled.

"SIRIUS! SIRIUS!" James bellowed into the mist and fog.

"He can't come back because he is dead," said Remus.

"HE IS NOT DEAD!" James yelled. "SIRIUS!"

"He is dead, there is nothing you can do, James." With that being said Remus disappeared into the fog as well.

James is seeing Sirius' death. I used the OotP for help with this part, but just changed a few of the words. Remus is trying to convince James that Sirius is dead just like he had to convince Harry that Sirius was dead. Sirius fell through fog instead of the veil. James killed him instead of Belltrix Lestrang.

3. He started running and fell. James couldn't bring himself back to his feet. He began crawling towards his daughter's body. He saw the ground ahead looking rugged with orange balls of different sized popping up around him. A black cat jumped out in front of him and looked at him innocently before moving on. A bat flew by his head and James took cover behind one of the orange balls which he confirmed to be pumpkins.

The pumpkins, black cats, are all symbols of Halloween. James sees these elements as he makes his way towards Lily. When did Lily die again? Halloween.

4. "I tried James, I really tried."

"Tried what?" asked James watching his wife's chest move up and down in irregular rhythms.

"He got Harry," she gasped.

"Who's Harry?" James asked.

"How can you not know?" she gasped.

"Who is he?"

"He's your..." Lily's eyes fluttered shut as she took in her last breath.

"Who! Who is he?" was all James could say as he sat by his lifeless wife's side crying in frustration and anger.

James hears Lily talking about Harry and how she was trying to save him. In a way he is seeing the end of his days and listening to Lily's possible thoughts before she died, her fears that Voldemort got Harry. Obviously James does not know who Harry is yet.

5. A boy was with her, a boy that James could have sworn was a younger version of himself. ---------------Rose cried harder and the boy with messy black hair and green eyes floated over to her. He looked badly burned on his right shoulder, there was blood staining his robes, and James could have sworn he had seen a lightning bolt shaped scar in the middle of his forehead.

James sees his future son Harry and doesn't know who he is. James sees Harry's scar and if we go even farther, James would know that his son plays Quidditch as well.

6. He saw the smile fade from Rose's face and tears begin to pour down her face. James felt her tears hit his face like the falling rain. 'I knew you didn't care daddy! You're never home for me!" she cried.

James fears are confirmed that he doesn't spend enough time with Rose when he is unable to answer her because he knows she is right.

7. A gust of black air blew in, covering Rose and the boy.

The black air signifies Voldemort. It sweeps over both Harry and Rose because they were both victims of his evil plans.

8. James could make out a limp figure hanging off the side of a broomstick and another figure barely holding on.

Rose was obviously the limp figure on the broom signifying her death. So there for you would think that Harry would be sitting up right on his broom since he didn't die, right? Wrong! He was said to be 'barely holding on' to signify that he would have many more encounters with Voldemort, each one becoming more and more deadly.

9. It was now green, the exact shade of green that the little boy's eyes had been, the same shade that Lily's had been as well. A bolt of lightning flashed in the sky...

Well obviously the green sky and lightning bolt is another symbol of Harry, nothing really important, and that Harry has Lily's eyes, which according to Rowling, is important.

10. Then he realized that Rose hadn't disappeared from his arms, he had disappeared from her. ------------ Now she was the one who was alone in the world without anyone to care for her.

James realizes another fear of his: What if something happened to him and Lily and Rose was all alone?

11. James saw her twitch. She was still alive.

Rose is still alive...

12. He watched as a tall man covered in a black robe walked over to her. He picked her up in his arms and walked away with her.

The man in the black cloak was Peter. He was dressed in a black robe the night he took Rose from the Potter's.

13. The man couldn't hear him and kept on walking with the last of the Potters.

Peter walked out of the house, hoping that he had succeeded in taking the last generation of the Potters.

14. Suddenly the invisible force that was holding James in the air broke and he was sent falling to the ground. He could distantly hear someone frantically calling his name.

Read it. Think about it. No, really, think about it. Key words: invisible force, falling to the ground, someone calling his name... Think about it long and hard. I shall explain this one later...

Now let's get into the meanings that weren't in James' dream. These were a bit more obvious.

15. The boy's image floated into his head again. He was smiling, and yet there was sadness in his eyes.

Harry is always enjoying himself with his friends, but there is always something bothering him.

16. He saw a boy with red hair and freckles and a girl with bushy brown hair.

Ron and Hermione, obviously.

17. He saw the golden snitch fluttering.

The boy plays Quidditch as a seeker.

18. a dragon surrounded by eggs

Obviously the 1st task in the Triwizard tournament.

19. He saw a blood red stone

The Sorcerer's/ Philosopher's Stone

20. man with two faces

Voldemort and Qurriell (spelling?)

21. He saw a giant snake and a girl lying by a diary in a dark wet place.

Harry's ordeal in the Chamber of Secrets

22. He saw a broom which he had never seen before

Nimbus 2000 or Firebolt

23. He saw a porky child sneering and throwing a fist into the air.

Harry being abused by Dudley

24. He saw a letters with green writing on them falling from the ceiling.

Harry's Hogwarts letters

25. He saw a pair of red slits which resembled eyes.

Voldemort's eyes

26. He saw a graveyard and a dead boy.

At the end of the fourth book when Cedric died

27. He saw a strange web that was formed by two wands

Also at the end of the 4th book when Harry and Voldemort's wands meet.

28. He saw a castle

Hogwarts

29. a scary looking horse

Thestral

30. He saw a mirror

Mirror of erised

31. a girl with raven black hair crying and moving closer and closer.

When Harry and Cho kiss

32. He saw a glittering coming from a thousand crystal orbs.

Department of Mysteries when Harry finds the prophecy.

33. He saw a creature wearing a mask drawing in rattling breaths.

Dementor

34. He saw a hippogriff carrying a man out into the moonlight.

Sirius riding Buckbeak

35. The flash of green light

All Harry can remember from the time he spent with his parents.

36. The flash of green light returned and the boy's face was taken by the feeling of anger and sadness

When Harry remembers the green light he finds himself angry that that light was what took his parents away from him, therefore feeling angry and sad.

37. His heart went out to the boy who looked all alone.

Harry has lost almost all of his family figures, therefore he feels alone inside.

38. James suddenly hoped that Lily was right. He hoped that this was his child. He hoped that he could restore hope and happiness to the boy. He hoped that this would someday be his son.

This pretty much explains itself- James wants to make the child happy and raise it as his own to make sure it has a good life. It also shows James' goal of being a good father.

Well now you can all go back and re-read chapter 34 or what ever to see if you found them all. Whatever you'd like. Those are the hidden meanings. So yeah...till next post.
