Chapter 6; MI-5
Lily entered her room and changed into a pair of jeans, a maroon long-sleeved shirt and a denim jacket. Lily went down stairs and headed for the portal.
"Emerald Dancer" the portal opened. Lily walked through and entered the storage room. She grabbed her purse and ID. Lily locked the door and saw that James had returned.
"I hate lying to him." Lily thought. She then walked over to the muggle portal.
"Aero bar" The door opened. She stepped out carefully; she closed the door quietly and locked it. Lily then traveled two blocks away from the portal and aperated to "The Firm" (I changed MI-5's code names, it's now "The Firm") Lily went to the elevator.
"Hey Barney" Lily stepped inside the elevator
"Hello Lily, I have not seen you in a while how are you?"
"Fine thank you and how are you? How are Marie and the kids?"
"Oh there fine thanks, I heard what happened in Paris are you alright?"
"Oh yes thank you I'm fine."
"That's good well this is my stop I'll see you soon." Barney stepped out on to the third floor, suddenly a tall slender man with half moon spectacles stepped into the elevator.
"Professor Dumbledore . . ."
"Oh hello Ms. Evans, how are you?" Professor Dumbledore looked very different from what Lily was used to, he was sporting a navy suit and tie with an ID badge that said "Mr. Dumbledore".
"I'm fine thank you."
"This is so awkward" Lily thought to herself
The elevator rang and the doors slid open Lily stepped out along with Dumbledore.
"Good evening Ms. Evans and Mr. Dumbledore" an average sized man said as he stood up to check their bags. Once he finished both stepped in to a clearance room. They soon entered the main entrance to MI-5's headquarters.
"I'll see you soon Ms. Evans: Dumbledore said as he made his way in the opposite direction of Lily.
"Alright" Lily made her way to her desk to put her things down.
"Hello Lily." Ben said as he came up behind Lily. Lily stood up and Ben grabbed her in to a big hug.
"How are you?"
"Good, how are you?"
"Fine um we should probably get into the meeting."
"Okay." Lily and Ben made their way into the conference room.
"Good evening Lily we've missed you." Langston said as he greeted Lily.
"Good evening I've missed you as well."
"Please everyone take a seat. I have some important business to take care of. First of all Your Bug worked, we managed to tag the phone line at Monroe's house." Langston said now turning to Ben.
"We have also found some startling news about Monroe, if you look at the screen you can see him . . ." Every one turned and looked at the projector screen.
"He is in Denmark in this photograph; it was taken three days ago. He is with his assistant Bernard Romero."
"I didn't know he had an assistant." Lily said with surprise.
"Neither did we, apparently he has been stationed in Germany for the past two years."
Langston then showed another clip, it was a video clip.
"This was a meeting they had in Germany two nights ago." Lily gasped when she saw the image. Monroe had stabbed Romero.
"That was the last Image we have of Monroe Romero. Now Benjamin I know that you have information that you and Burns collected with you while you both were in Denmark, would you please inform us of it?"
"Certainly, While Burns and I were in Denmark when we found something astonishing . . . here take a look." Ben inserted a microchip into his laptop and projected it to the screen.
"What is that?" Lily began but then was shortly cut off.
"It is a rare Goblet that we found in his home, Langston had mentioned of some valuable artifacts that Monroe had and we believe this is one of them. I did some research on it and found that this goblet is made of pure gold with rare markings and Lightning bolts carved into it. We were able to bring the goblet here to examine it. I printed the markings on to the computer. I took the file to school, I thought I could find something about them at my library; well I came to find that these markings are of a rare language called "Parsel tongue", this language derives from Salazar Slytherin who was one of the Founders of The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I think that Monroe might have a connection with Lord Voldemort."
"Yes and I think you are heading somewhere Croft." Langston said now getting up and heading to the door.
"When you told me of your findings Croft I asked a friend of mine to come tonight, in hopes he may be able to help us."
Langston opened the door and there stood Albus Dumbledore. He had changed back in to his blue velvet robes. He walked into the room as everyone stood to greet him.
"Hello Albus, thank you for coming." Langston shook Dumbledore's hand and led him to a seat.
"Thank you Alexander."
"Albus I would like you to meet our two top agents on the project, Ms. Lily Evans and Mr. Benjamin Croft. I also would like you to meet our Technical manager Damian Ledford."
"Hello, it is nice to meet all of you." Every one bent over the table to shake Dumbledore's hand.
"Now Croft if you could inform Dumbledore here of our situation is and what you have found."
"Well for last couple of years we have been trying to track down Thomas Riddle also known as Lord Voldemort." Dumbledore to Lily's surprise did not wince at the name.
"We have also found a man by the name of Jacques Monroe who we believe is helping Lord Voldemort gain Hercrouxes, in which we think he plans to use in the future or possibly now." "About three nights ago I along with Agent Burns who is not here planted a Bug or recording device on his home line . . ."
"What is a home line?" Dumbledore asked not knowing what Croft meant.
"Oh a telephone line sir."
"Albus, I apologize for interrupting Croft but Croft is a Wizard along with Ms. Evans who is a witch. Croft goes to the Durmstrang academy for wizardry."
"I see."
"While I was examining the goblet I found a name engraved in the bottom of the cup, Hufflepuff was the name. I believe this person was also a founder of Hogwarts."
"Yes I'm aware that Helga Hufflepuff did indeed have a rare Goblet." Dumbledore now thinking very hard about it said.
"Did you find what the symbols represented when you were researching the goblet?" Lily asked. Ben turned to Lily.
"Yes I found that the Thunder Bolts represented Slytherin, it was a symbol from his family crest."
"Well now that we all are up to date on what has been found, I would like for you Evans and Croft to go to Denmark once more and plant another bug but not on the house line but on furniture with in the house."
"What will that do if he is on the run in Germany?" Lily aid questioningly.
"He is having a party the next night which you both will be attending. He is inviting death eaters and important officials. It gives us a chance to see what they are up to."
"Ledford will you show us the technical briefing."
"Yes sir certainly." Ledford got up from his seat pulling out two boxes.
"Alright as you have just been informed you both are going to a party, but not just any party a death eater party, they will scan your arms for the death eater's mark hence this."
Ledford pulled out a clear piece of laminate paper which had a black symbol with entwined snakes on it. This is a fake tattoo, but there is a catch, once you put the tattoo on it is imbedded into your skin and will stay there for two days. The marking will disappear on its own. When you are at the party you will be disguised as young death eaters who have just been recruited. Now Lily I wasn't sure what color you like so I have blue for you and Croft I have black for you, for your party robes."
"Any questions so far."
"Yes I have one. When our arms are checked they won't be able to use magic to see if they are fake right?" Lily asked concernedly.
"Yes they do but I have, with the help from Mr. Dumbledore put a Permentia charm upon them so they will not be detected."
"Thank you Ledford anymore questions or comments?" Langston asked now raising from his seat.
"Could I say one more thing Mr. Langston?" Dumbledore stood up from his chair.
"Now I know you both are very skilful agents but watch your back, they might have men there scouting for muggle-borns." Dumbledore turned his head to Lily. Lily looked into Dumbldore's old eyes with great concentration.
"I'd suggest along with your weapons take your wands."
"Yes sir." Ben and Lily responded.
"Langston are we looking for anything or are we just mingling?" Croft asked.
"No you will be mingling, but do take note of anything suspicious."
Everyone got up from the table and left the conference room.
"Ms. Evans I'll see you at school" Dumbledore said to Lily as he left.
"Bye." Lily said. Ben walked up to Lily and took her hand and turned her around.
"Are you alright about this mission?" Ben looked into her eyes and could see her fear. Lily had always been a little afraid of death eaters even though she had never met one. Lily was a muggle-born witch which Lord Voldemort hated along with his Death eater followers. She was a target because of who she was. They had killed many wizards and witches along with muggles. She wasn't sure if she was ready to face them.
"I think so."
"Well I'll meet you here tomorrow for Denmark at 2:00 Pm."
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow."
"Would you like me to take you back I don't have to be at school till morning."
"It is the morning." Lily looked at her watch it was 2:00 in the morning.
"Well I mean not until 3rd block."
"You will miss your classes though!"
"No I won't I told my teachers my levels were a bit high and that I needed to sleep in. so I did the work ahead of time. Don't worry."
"Oh . . . your levels are high?"
"My levels are a little high, not too bad." Ben was a pryomecian one who could produce heat and fire from his hands. He wore dragon skinned gloves, to protect him from others.
"Alright could you walk me to the portal?"
"Sure I will." Ben and Lily made it outside. It was a cold bitter night on the London streets and it was deserted. They walked several blocks and then aperated to the portal door. Lily said the password and they entered she put her tote bag away in the storage room and looked into the common room door.
"Who's that fellow on the sofa?" Lily looked inside and saw James asleep on the sofa.
"That's James he must have waited for me but fell asleep. He is head boy with me."
