"Harry Potter, that's his name master." Peter Pettigrew said as he bowed between Lord Voldemort.

"Good work Wormatil, at least you're good for something." Voldemort said in his shrill voice, "I want you with the Potters all the time, I want to know everything they're doing."

"Yes master." Peter squeaked.

"I want you to find out Dumbledore's plans for then Potters, what he intends to do now that I know about the prophecy." Voldemort said staring at Wormtail with a piercing gaze.

"Yes master, but it might be difficult, he already suspects a spy in the order." Wormtail said, "won't it look suspicious if I start asking questions?"

"You will do as you're told," Voldemort roared at Peter.

"Yes master, sorry master." Wormtail said and he kissed them hem of his masters robes.

"Are you sure we can trust him?" Lily asked her husband, they were discussing who should be their secret keeper.

"Lily he's like my brother, he's never in a million years betray us, he's rather die." James said.

"I know, but you can never be too sure." Lily said, "maybe we should slip a truth potion into his drink just to be sure."

James laughed, "we'd be safe with him." he said.

Lily sighed, "I know I'm just nervous, that's all."

"So am I, but as long as I'm with you, I'll be fine." James said.

Lily smiled and kissed him.

There was a knock at the door and Lily pulled away reluctantly.

"Why does everyone always come round to our house?" James asked.

"Well you better get used to it." Lily said, "once we go into hiding they have to come to us."

She went off to the door and opened it.

"How come we can't apparated inside?" Emma asked inviting herself in with Sirius and the children.

"Hi Lily." Sirius said.

"Ah Sirius, just the man, I want a word with you." James said.

"What about?" He asked.

James looked at Emma, "Um, it's private."

"What's going on?" Emma asked.

"Nothing ," James said.

"Come on James' it's Emma, if you can tell Sirius I can tell Emma." Lily said.

"Yeah!" Emma said even though she had no idea what was going on.

James moved close to Lily's ear "but what about the spy?"

"If it's not Sirius it's hardly going to be Emma, she's my best friend." Lily whispered back.

"I suppose." James said, "just make sure she doesn't tell anyone."

James took Sirius off into the kitchen while Lily sat in the front room with Emma.

"So what's going on?" She asked.

"Nothing really," Lily said, "we just decided to have Sirius as our secret keeper."

"Sirius?" Emma asked, "are you sure about that?"

"Yes," Lily said, "him and James have known each other for almost his whole life. They're like brothers."

"We're like sisters, why not me?" Emma asked.

"Sorry, but we both agreed on Sirius, and plus he's an Auror, and much better at duelling." Lily said, "not that you're not good, it's just we would feel a lot safer with him as our secret keeper. You wouldn't want the responsibility anyway, you have enough to worry about with two children, Sirius will be responsible with the whole of my family. Our lives will be in his hands……………. Oh God my life is going to be in hands of Sirius Black, am I mad?"

Emma laughed a little, "don't worry, I don't want to be your secret keeper, but if I was I would never let anything happen to any of you."

Lily smiled, "come here." She said and her and Emma hugged.

After a few minutes Lily felt a tear rolling down her face.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Emma asked.

"More like what isn't wrong," Lily said.

"Come on, it's not that bad, you have a wonderful husband, a beautiful son, marvellous friends, you're a fully qualified Auror, and to top it all, you're beautiful." Emma said.

"So what, my family is endanger from the most feared wizard that ever lived. We have to go into hiding other wise he'll kill my son and probably me and James." Lily said angrily, "I'm a qualified Auror but what's the point in that, I won't actually be able to work!"

"I know it seems bad, but things will get better, eventually." Emma comforted, "I don't know how, or when, but they will. Now dry your eyes, we're going out."

"What?" Lily asked.

"I said we're going out, to take your mind off things. James and Sirius can look after the children, and we are going out to have a good time, while you still can."

"I don't know if I want to go out." Lily said.

"Nonsense, it will do you good." Emma said, "we'll stop off at Jess on the way and bring her as well."

"I don't know."

"Well I do, and I'm not taking no for an answer, now go upstairs and sort out your hair." Emma said.

"Oi!" Lily said hitting her, "there is nothing wrong with my hair."

"I'm only joking, you go and get changed and I'll tell James and Sirius." Emma said and she patted Lily on the head.

A few minutes later Lily was ready and Emma stood in the hall waiting.

"Come on lets go." Emma said.

"Are you sure you're going to be OK?" James asked.

Lily nodded.

"Just be careful." He said.

"Are you really going to leave us alone with a new born baby?" Sirius asked. "What if it starts crying, what if it needs a nappy change?"

"Then you change it." Lily said simply.

"But it will smell." Sirius said.

"So? You've changed nappies before." Emma said.

"Yeah but I didn't like it, and plus we're out numbered, it's tow against three."

"Come on Sirius, there are two one years olds and a baby about one month old." Lily said, "what could go wrong?"

"Don't worry Sirius," James said, "now you two go out and have fun, but don't be back to late."

Lily smiled and gave James a kiss before leaving with Emma.

Lily and Emma apparated into Jess and Remus' flat.

"Hello?" Emma called.

"Maybe they're out." Lily said as she looked around the empty flat.

"Maybe," Emma said as she ventured into the kitchen. "What's this?"

Lily came into the room. As Emma picked up a note up from the table. "What does it say?" She asked.

Emma read the parchment out loud,

I

To who ever finds this note,

You're probably wondering where we've gone. But don't worry we haven't been kidnapped or anything like that. We've eloped!

This probably sound strange, but it's not. Remus and I are getting married, and we knew it would be hard here, considering circumstances, so we've gone abroad. When you nest see us we'll be Mr and Mrs. Lupin!

Sorry you couldn't be with us on our day but we'll tell you all about it when we get back.

Jess and Remus I

"Oh my God!" Emma said, "I didn't even know they were engaged."

"How romantic," Lily said.

"Well I guess this means she won't be coming out with us." Emma said and she placed the note back on the table. "Come one lets go, we can talk about this over a nice cold butterbeer."

James and Sirius were in the middle of battle against the three children, so far the children were winning. James trying to calm a crying Harry while Sirius was trying to chance Sinead's nappy as Reece lay crying on the sofa.

"How do I make him stop screaming?" James asked Sirius desperately.

"How am I meant to know?" Sirius asked trying not to breath through his nose.

"You've been doing this a lot longer then me." James said.

"WHAT?" Sirius shouted, he couldn't hear anything over the screaming.

"I SAID YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS LONGER THEN ME." James shouted back.

"SO? HE'S YOUR SON." Sirius shouted. "TRY SWINGING HIM AROUND, LIKE AN AEROPLANE."

"LIKE THIS?"

"NO! YOU'LL KILL HIM!" Sirius shouted leaving Sinead for a moment and taking his godson, "LIKE THIS."

Sirius gently started swinging Harry, and he stopped crying.

"See, I have the magic touch." He said, but then Harry started crying again, he had only stopped to throw up a little.

At that point Sinead started crying too.

"I WILL NOT LET THEM BEAT ME!" Sirius shouted and he handed Harry back to James and went back to Sinead.

"Right," James muttered to himself, "what haven't I tried? I've tried feeding you, playing with you, changing you, putting you to bed, what else is there?"

He thought for a moment, even though it was hard through all the screaming.

"Your mummy would know what to do," James said to his baby, and he swore that Harry seemed to calm a little at the mention of his mum. He thought for a little longer, "GOT IT!" He shouted.

He lifted Harry so his head was resting on his shoulder and he started rubbing his back. After a few minutes of this Harry stopped crying, James continued until he emitted a loud burp.

"That's my boy!" He said proudly and he kissed Harry's soft head. "Now are you going to have a sleep for daddy so he can rescue uncle Sirius?"

James went upstairs and placed Harry in his cot where he stayed until he fell asleep. He left the room and put a charm on the door so he would hear him if he woke up.

He went down stairs where Sirius was still struggling with hi daughters nappy, he had put a bubble heard charm on his head so he wouldn't have to smell the contents of the nappy.

"YOU TAKE THAT ONE." Sirius shouted to James, "I'M STILL BUSY."

James nodded and went to Reece, he picked him up and placed him on hi lap.

"What's wrong mate?" He asked, "Just want a bit of attention?"

James played with Reece while Sirius finally changed Sinead's nappy and took the charm off his head.

They finally got off to sleep and James and Sirius were left in peace.

"Good work Prongs," Sirius said as he flopped on the sofa.

"Not too bad your self Padfoot," James said to Sirius.

At that moment Lily and Emma came in the door laughing.

"Shhhhhhhhh!" Sirius scowled, "you'll wake up the babies."

Lily stuck out her tongue, "so you get then to go to sleep, very impressive."

"Didn't you think we could do it?" James asked wrapped an arm around his wife.

"No I didn't actually." Lily said.

"Well we proved you wrong, it was easy, a piece of cake." Sirius said.

"Yeah," James agreed.

"Well maybe we should go out more often." Emma said.

"NO!" The two mean shouted in unison.

I thought a little bit of comedy was needed before all the horrible stuff, I don't really want to kill them all. I was thinking of doing another story after this of if they didn't die, but I'm not sure about that. I might just write another story completely, probably another Lily/ James fic, but I don't know yet.
