James looked at the piece of parchment that he had gripped in his hands. "It just says our address," he said, scratching his head.

"That doesn't help at all!" Lily said as she grabbed the parchment from James.

Sirius shrugged. "I said I found a note, I never said it was going to be helpful," he said as he opened the fridge in the kitchen.

"It gives us no information as to why he was watching the house," James said in disbelief.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Look at the handwriting," he said taking a bite out of an apple.

Lily took the note from James again and looked at it closely. "It looks familiar," she said after a moment.

James looked over her shoulder. "Yeah, I have seen it before too."

"Everyone who has attended Hogwarts has seen it at least seven times," Sirius said as he filled a glass with water.

"The Hogwarts letters that we used to get! Dumbledore wrote them back when he was deputy headmaster," Lily shrieked.

James' eyes narrowed. "So does this mean that Dumbledore isn't on our side?" James asked.

Sirius shrugged. "I was hoping you could give me that answer," he said.

Lily shook her head. "There is no way that Dumbledore isn't on our side," she said.

"Well there is also no way that Snape is on our side," James protested.

Lily rolled her eyes. "What makes you so sure?" she asked.

"Well he's just...evil," James said.

Sirius laughed. "James you were always the one evil to him," he said.

"Whose side are you on?" James asked.

Sirius held his hands up in front of him. "I'm always on your side, I'm just saying that maybe you should think about what you're saying before you go accusing someone," he said.

Lily nodded. "You never know, Snape might be working for us. Trying to protect us perhaps," she said.

"But then why wouldn't Dumbledore tell us?" James asked. "You'd think he would tell us if he was going to have us monitored for safety."

Lily rolled her eyes. "Maybe he thought we'd try to get rid of the spy or freak out about it," she said.

Sirius nodded. "Soooo....where is my godson?" he asked as he strolled into the living room where Harry was sleeping.

"I think that we should talk to Dumbledore about this," Lily said as she reached for a quill and piece of parchment that were lying on the counter top.

James shook his head. "We still don't know who he is working for," he said as he snatched the quill out of Lily's hand.

"Come on James! Like he would really switch sides at this point in time!" she protested as she summoned another quill.

James took that one away from her as well. "What if he was never on our side? What if it was all an act?" he asked.

Lily sighed. "Fine, we won't tell him. But if Snape continues to watch us this week we have to tell him. And we have to get a thicker shade for the bathroom window thing," she said as she put the piece of parchment back onto the counter.

"Deal," James said as he kissed the top of Lily's head.

She rolled her eyes. "Let's go find Harry and Sirius," she said.

James nodded and followed her out of the room, stuffing the note in his pocket.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"James he's out there again!" Lily said as she magically closed the drapes in their room.

James peered out of the window. "All I see is an old lady," he said.

"Can you not tell that it is Snape?" Lily said as she pointed out of the window. "The 'woman' has greasy black hair, a long nose, and she is twice as tall as a normal woman!"

James looked away from the window. "That's it. Lily, close all of the windows in the house. There is no way that he is going to get away with whatever he is doing," James said, looking quite disturbed.

Lily nodded. "Could you get Harry, I think he is crying," she said as she walked into the hallway.

James took one last look out of his window before closing the drapes tightly again. Snape was really starting to freak him out even more than he had before. Back at school he was just strange, now he was....weird. He shook his head and walked into Harry's room to find him still sleeping. He had either gone back to sleep or never woke up at all. Lily was always hearing crying from that room, ever since Rose was taken.

"James!!!"

James ran down the stairs and found Lily in the study. "What is it?" he asked.

She pointed to the owl holding the black letter from the Ministry. "What now?" he asked as he rushed over the owl.

"I am afraid to open it James, I know what those letters mean," Lily said with a horrified look on her face.

"You never know, maybe they ran out of regular envelopes," he said hopefully.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. Just open it and get it over with," she said as the owl flew out of the open window.

Lily immediately closed it and pulled the drapes tightly shut. James opened the letter and let out a sigh. "I thought they'd never get him," he said.

"What? Who?" Lily asked.

"My brother Tom. He was killed in a death eater raid on accident," he said.

"Oh, James that is awful," Lily said.

James shrugged. "He was a death eater, it was time for him to go. I never spoke to him again after I found out, couldn't afford to have him pass on my information to anyone," James said as he tore up the letter and threw it in the trash next to the writing desk.

"Oh," said Lily, grateful that James had severed his connection with his brother.

"Now we have nothing to worry about," he said as he held her tightly.

He moved in to kiss her but Lily stopped him. "What?" he asked.

"I just don't feel comfortable kissing you in a room with windows. It is unnerving to know that Snape might be watching," she whispered, blushing.

James shook his head and let go of her. "I swear, I am going to kill him," he said.
