Emma opened her eyes, she was lying in her bed at home Sirius sitting next to her looking worried.

"Your awake!" He said happily and he hugged her.

"How did I get here?" She asked.

"You were found by a muggle out walking their dog, collapsed at the bottom of Trotters Land. He called recognised you and sent his dog to find me with a note saying where you were." Sirius said, "I brought you back here and called a healer out to see you."

"Why didn't you take me to the hospital?" She asked.

"Well there has just bean another mass muggle killing, and they've had to take a load of them there to get rid of all their magical injuries and fix their memories. They said not to bring anyone else in unless they could help it and you didn't seem to badly injured."

Emma nodded.

"So what happened?" Sirius asked.

Emma wracked hr brain she did not quite know herself, after a few minutes and remembered quite clearly and she sat upright.

"Did you speak to them? What did you tell them?" She asked frantically.

"Calm down, calm down, what are you talking about?"

"I was at here and there was a knock at the door, when I opened it they blasted me unconscious and they put my hair in a poly juice potion. Then they sent me back to their headquarters and Bellatrix Lestrange stayed here and pretended to be me." Emma said as quickly as she could.

Sirius eyes widened in alarm, "are you sure that's what happened?" He asked.

Emma nodded.

"I have to go and find Wormtail," He said jumping off the bed and taking fastening his cloak.

"Why what did you tell them?" Emma asked.

"It's what I didn't tell them that's the problem." Sirius said and she kissed her before running out of the house.

He apparated to where peter now lived, he had finally moved out of his parents house and lived in a flat.

He knocked on the door, but there was no answer, he knocked again. "Wormtail, are you in there?" He shouted.

There was still no answer, and after knocking and shouting for a further five minutes he left as it was clear that Peter wasn't in.

He stood for a few minutes, he was sure that even though that the now knew that the Potters were in hiding and that he was not their secret keeper they wouldn't suspect Peter, but he had to warn him that he may be in danger.

It was now October, nearly Halloween and Lily and James were on full alert, security had been tightened around their house and Aurors now stood, invisible guarding the house.

Sirius also found it his duty to watch Peter from now on, but he ha to be careful, he didn't want anymore people finding out that he wasn't the secret keeper.

Peter was aware of the fact that Sirius was following him as he saw him everywhere, even when he went out to buy milk.

Emma had made a full recovery and she sat with lily in her best friends house.

They sat together in silence, they both had news, but they were scared to share it.

They both looked at each other and both started t say something at the same time.

"You go first." Lily said.

"no, you go." Emma said, "I insist."

Lily took a deep breath before saying "I'm pregnant!"

Emma's mouth fell open she couldn't quite believe it, what were the chances? "Me too!" She said.

"What?" Lily asked.

"I'm pregnant to." Emma repeated.

"You mean we're both pregnant?" Lily asked.

Emma nodded.

"Oh my God! Congratulations!" She said and she hugged Emma.

"You too," Emma said. "This is going to be so great, we're going to have children at the same time."

"I hope I have a girl." Lily said.

"I don't mind, another girl would be nice, but I'm not that fussed." Emma said.

"When did you find out?" Lily asked.

"A few days ago, I've been burning to tell someone." Emma said.

"I know, " Lily hesitated, "how do you think James and Sirius will react?"

"They'll be pleased as punch, they'll only need two more to make a quiddich team, I think." Emma joked, she wasn't really all hat sure about quiddich, she had never really liked it that much.

Lily laughed and they had a conversation about what their expected children may look like.

Voldemort had all his Death eaters around him, he had just put the final pieces of his plan in place, and now e had to inform his death eaters of their part.

He stood in front of them, fingering a piece of parchment, that was the parchment that Peter had given him, it had the exact location of Lily and James' house on it.

"Tonight is when I eliminate my competition, the one who will apparently be able to defeat me." Voldemort said and a small ripple of laughter went around his death eaters.

Peter stood sweating, he had made the right choice, Voldemort would be able to protect him, if any one could it would be him.

Voldemort surveyed his army in front of him. "For this mission I will be taking a small group of you with me. You will be dealing with the Aurors that have been put there to protect them." Voldemort said, "I will go into the house, kill the child and emerge unstoppable."

A cheer went up around the room, their master would soon be unstoppable, it was certain. All he had to do will kill a small baby and there was no way he could fail to do that.

Voldemort put and hand up and silenced them.

"My Lord who will you take with you?" A Death Eater asked from the crowd.

"Not you Crabbe," Voldemort spat, no body spoke unless they had permission, "crucio."

Crabbe fell to the ground screaming and all the Death eaters around him moved out of the way.

Voldemort lifted the curse and sent him flying out of the room.

About half an hour later Peter returned to his flat, he felt nauseous, but he knew that he had made the right decision.

He went into his kitchen and poured himself a small glass of fire whisky, he noticed a parchment note lying on his table.

He went over, it must have been left by an owl, it read

I

Peter,

Lily and I are inviting everyone round this evening, not that anyone waits for an invitation!

Anyway, Lily and Emma seem to have some news, not quite sure what it is, but it seems big.

Hope to see you later

Your friend

Prongs /I

Peter nearly chocked on his ire whisky, everyone was going to be there? That wasn't good, his master was only taking six Death eaters with him, they would be out numbered if all his friends were going to e there.

This was not good, there would be one extra Auror a healer an oblivator and a werewolf there as well as James and Lily who were Aurors.

He had to warn his master, but he had said that he should see no one except those six selected Death eaters that he had selected.

What did he do? Did he risk getting punished for interrupting his master ad getting blown up by him? Or did he say nothing and give his friends a fighting chance?

But he couldn't do that, if his friends survived then they would know that he betrayed them, and then they would kill him, or wore, put him in Azkaban.

Peter thought for a few more seconds, and it came to him.

"I'll just pretend that I never got the note." He said to himself, and he went into his living room, started a fire and put the note in it.

If he didn't know that his friends were going to be there how could he warn his master? And if they did survive he would pretend that he had been broken by the Dark side and that they forced it out of him. And if his master asked why all he hadn't said that all his friends were there he would pretend that he didn't get the note.

He sat back in his sofa, feeling happy with himself, everything would be OK, wouldn't it?

Jess returned home from work to find her husband lying on the sofa under a blanket looking very sorry for himself.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked taking off her cloak and perching herself on the arm of the sofa.

"I feel rotten." Remus said, "feel my forehead."

Jess put her hand on his forehead, it was burning.

"Are you poor thing." She said in a mocking tone.

"We got an owl from James," He said pointing to a note on the table.

"Why is it wet?" She asked picking it up.

"Ah yes, I was a little bit sick on it," Remus said.

Jess dropped it like it was boiling hot, "don't suppose you remember what it said?"

"Yes, James was inviting us over his evening because Lily and Emma had some news that they wanted to share." Remus said

"Really? I wonder what it is." Jess said, "I guess I'll find out later."

"You're not going are you?" Remus asked.

"Yes."

"But what about me?" Remus asked.

"What about you? You're a big boy you can look after yourself." Jess said.

Remus put on a puppy dog face.

"Look, I'll only go for an hour, and I'll get Emma to make you a potion, make you feel better." Jess said.

"I suppose, but only an hour mind!" Remus said, acting like an old woman.

Jess laughed slightly and kissed him on the forehead.

"Men," She said as she walked into her room to get changed, "Make a mountain out of a mole hill!"

Emma sat at home with her twins, Sirius was late home again. She wasn't that annoyed, she knew that he had a lot of work to do with him being an Auror, but she just missed him.

Sinead and Reece played happily with each other on the floor and Emma watched them. She hoped that when they were older they were as close as they were now, she had always wanted children like that. Siblings that were good friends as well as being brother and sister, they would look out for each other and all things like that.

She looked at her watch, it was half six, she conjured some parchment and a quill to her and wrote a note to Sirius tell him that she had gone to Lily and James' house and that he should go there when he came in.

He put the note somewhere where he would find it and she left with the children.

Lily and James sat with Jess in the living room when Emma arrived.

"Hello." She said as she let Sinead and Reece out of the buggy and she sat on the sofa.

"Where's Sirius?" James asked.

"He's not back from work yet, I left him a note telling him to come when he's finished."

James nodded, "well it's a bit strange that when we don't invite you round you all come, but when we do hardly anyone turns up!"

"Anyone want a drink?" Lily asked and she took everyone's orders and went off into the kitchen to prepare them.

She came back and placed them on the table.

"So what's this big news them?" James asked.

"Shouldn't we wait until everyone else is here?" Emma asked.

"That would be easier." Lily said, "but I can't wait that long."

"Right, you tell them." Emma said excitedly.

"Well," Lily said, "Emma and I are both, we're going to, you see."

"Jesus Lily," Emma said "we're both pregnant."

"Oh my God!" Jess said and she jumped up and hugged her friends. "this is fantastic!"

James on the other hand did not do anything, he didn't move or speak, then after a few minutes he stood up and went over to Lily.

She looked at him apprehensively and then he lifted her up and swum her around, "I'm going to be a daddy again!" He shouted.

Lily laughed and smiled with him, they were happier then they had been in a long time.

"OH MY GOD!" Jess shouted, she was looking out the window.

Emma went over to her.

"Oh sweet Jesus," she said. "They're here."

"What?" Lily asked panic rising in every cell in her body.

"IT'S HIM LILY!" James shouted, "HE'S COME!"
