Chapter 20

"I didn't ask to be minister." replied James hanging his head

"But you are and you need to take your responsibilities seriously. I suggest you warn the wizarding community," said Lily looking at her husband with a sorrowful look. It was true he never asked to be made minister but that's what had happened. The old minister Cornelius Fudge had retired to spend time resting. The job was too stressful. A new minister was needed but no one wanted the job, too much trouble they all said. They also said James would be perfect for the job. James had agreed, but he didn't think that I was going to involve any actual work. But now it had and he didn't know what to do.

"Should I?" asked James directing his question at his two best friends, because Lupin and Sirius many problems brought to James had been solved. They were his right hand men. He hoped they would help now.

"James, you need to tell everyone. We have to warn people before someone else gets hurt." replied Lupin he had calmed down now that he knew how tough this really was "sorry I was so angry."

"Your right though, I should have done something sooner. I'll go report to the papers. This isn't going to be good." replied James he was scared and upset.

"We'll come with you." said Sirius getting up to get the pot of floo powder kept in the kitchen cupboard,

"I'll tell the kids. They need to know so they can stay safe." said Lily "Good luck!" n

"Yeah" James didn't sound with it. He sounded distant. Lily knew he was nervous. He was about to admit that he screwed up. Lily gave him a big kiss before he left. Just a bit of reassurance. "I love you."

"Love you too." Your would have thought he was going to his death by the sound of his voice. It was dead and gone, he was gone.

The three of them flooded out to the Ministry. After they left Lily decided it was time to go tell the kids that it was possible they weren't returning to school this year.
