Ch22: What I really do

It was 2:00 in the afternoon on a sunny Saturday, it was December 1, 1977 and the hospital ward was quiet, very quiet. The glare of the beaming sun peaked through the window above lily's bed and hit her face. The warmth of its glow woke her from her sleep. Lily stirred until she could no longer go back to sleep. She opened her eyes and found a tall, old looking, worried man sitting at her side. It was Professor Dumbledore.

"Good Morning Ms. Evans" HE greeted with a cheerful smile. Lily slowly lifted herself and set down on the bed in an upright position. She rubbed her eyes. She looked around and found numerous bags of treats and cards laid around her bed and side table.

"Good morning." She grumbled.

"How are you feeling?" he asked gently.

"Fine, a bit tired . . . Oh crap!" Lily exclaimed then corrected herself.

"Sorry sir, I just remembered about my Brighton Finals they are tomorrow." Lily said.

"Its alright, I have spoken with Brighton's Headmistress she has given you an extension, you may take your exams next week. You are in no condition to take a final right now." He said.

"Oh thank you sir." Lily said.

"Now Ms. Evans you have some explaining to do." Dumbledore began. Lily looked up She knew this was coming.

"What would you like to know?" she asked.

"Everything that occurred the night you left two days ago." He replied.

"All right, well two nights ago there was a meeting taking place in Turin, Italy. It was involving the Dark Lord and his followers. The firm had sent two agents out there because Croft and I were busy with school and family business. I received a letter from Croft saying that Langston needed us immediately. So I got changed and I met Croft outside the portal and we went to the firm. "

"We met with Langston and Ledford in the conference room. We were given our mission, it was to retrieve the two agents, and they had gone off line three hours before. Croft and I flew to Italy and we arrived at the café. We rounded the back where we saw two death eaters guarding the back door to the café. I created a distraction so we could get in."

"What was your distraction?" Dumbledore asked.

"Oh um I changed into a red skin tight dress and I asked for some coffee and food. They got it for me while Ben quickly ran inside. They came back out and I cut them off."

"Cut them off?" he asked confused.

"I splashed the hot coffee on one of them and I stupefied the other, then I fan kick the one with coffee and I knocked him out, but unfortunately I was heard and two more death eaters were sent out. I quickly climbed on top of the low roof and ducked down. One of them had a Muggle born detector which started to beep. They looked up and saw me so I jumped of the roof and onto the ground I dodged behind the dumpster that was there, managing to avoid a hex. Anyway I petrified one of them and hit the other with grip of my gun and he was knocked out. I ran inside and met up with Croft. He told me that Voldemort and the others were in the main sitting room of the café and they were talking about the Potters, Voldemort wants them dead except for James."

"Yes Robert and Amelia have been warned they are in hiding as we speak." Dumbledore said.

"Good."

"Why do they want James alive?" he asked

"I'm not sure."

"Please continue." He urged her.

"Well we heard another beeping sound and foot steps coming closer to the kitchen door. We ducked under the counter. Suddenly I heard Voldemort's voice; the beeping was getting louder and faster.

"He said we won't hurt you we just want to talk to you. The next thing I know purple lights were zooming past us. Ben got up and started shooting numerous hexes. I myself got up and fired two shots from my gun hitting the glass window behind them so I could get away and upstairs to the other two agents. I didn't get upstairs because I was hit with numerous curses, one of them was a crucio and Ben was also hit. I soon was being levitated by one of the death eaters, but Ben killed them. We aperated upstairs; we found Voldemort torturing the other agents. One of them was already dead."

Lily stopped as she looked up to see James and the others looking, listening.

Dumbledore turned around.

"Good afternoon, how long have you been standing there?" he asked gently.

James looked down, so did the others.

"How long?" He said more sternly.

"They're after my parents?" James asked

Lily looked down.

"Take a seat all of you." Dumbledore said getting up. He pulled his wand out and put a silencing charm on the room. He turned back to Lily and sat.

"Continue."

"Alright. We were upstairs and Ben lashed out his wand but was deflected and thrown against the wall. I myself still dizzy and in pain from the death eater fell to the floor. Voldemort came over and lifted me up and threw e at the wall as well, he tied us both up. The other death eaters came in. Voldemort asked them what he should do to us. They all chanted "kill them!" But something held him back, he said no. then I used reverse psychology and said "why not kill us?" he was really shocked when he heard that one."

"I presume you told him next that you could get him the Book of Vlasco?" Dumbledore asked predicting what she was going to say next.

"Yes, I did. I made a deal with him."

"You did what?" James exclaimed.

"Mr. Potter." Dumbledore said.

"Yes I did, I know he has been looking for prophetical artifacts to store parts of his soul in. this book isn't just valuable in the wizarding world in it priceless in the muggle. All of the major Mafias are in search for this book. This book is so powerful it is said to be a weapon in its own right. Inside the book are codes, codes which open vaults all over Europe, vaults that hold muggle weapons. The book also carries advanced chars and spell never before used. The book is basically a weapon itself."

"And you know where it is located?" Dumbledore asked surprised.

"Yes I found it last year over the Christmas holiday. I was in India with a swat team, we were in search of it, unfortunately, several members of the team passed away this past year from other MI-5 projects and I' am the only one left who know exactly where it is."

"Does Croft?"

"No he was too hot to be able to go."

"What did you say to Voldemort?"

"I said we could work together in retrieving it, the facility it's in can not be entered or disturbed by magic. It is underground. I gave him my number so he can reach me. I plan to give him a j-copy of the book. By having his loyalty or well a good part of his trust it is possible we can find some of his hide outs and his plans, Plans for the hercroxes that is."

"When will you meet him next?"

"He will call me when he needs me." Lily said.

"Very well."

"Oh and Professor Ben and I are planning to make a Velacian potion."

"Yes Langston informed me of this. I might be able to get some of the ingredients for you." Dumbledore said now getting up.

"You are free to leave the hospital Ms. Evans once Madam Pomfrey has said the okay." He said and walked out.

James and everyone else looked to lily after they watched Dumbledore leave.

"Why the hell would you make a deal with that man?" James exclaimed

"James, please don't yell at me. I know what I'm doing. I have been working on this case for two years now." Lily said sternly as she got out of bed. Pomfrey came over and checked her out. She was free to go.

Lily and James and the others walked out. They headed to the Heads common room.

"Lily, just promise me you will be careful?" James asked as they sat on the sofa.

"If anything happened to you I don't know what I would do."

"I know and I promise." Lily said giving James a kiss on the cheek.

"Lily I still don't understand why would a law firm want to know where Voldemort is?" Emily asked.

Lily looked up. She sighed.

"He has committed many crimes in the Muggle world." Lily lied. She saw James give her a disappointing look.

"Well what's MI-5?" Emily asked now looking at James's side ways look.

"I can't . . . "

"Lily we have heard what you did two days ago, about your plan and now you say you can't tell us what that is?" Emily asked angered.

"Emily, please . . ." Tears began to fill her eyes. She paused. She got up and went to the portal. Everyone watched her enter.

Lily grabbed the file on James's parents and grabbed her ID along with her watch.

She came back out. She took out her wand and magically closed al of the windows, she turned the lights down and walked over to the group. She pushed the button on her watch and sat down. She ushered everyone to sit on the floor.

"None of you must talk of this with anyone, no one. Do you hear? This is very, very top secret. Not even my family knows. If one of you tells another person you will be putting their life and yours in grave danger." Lily said seriously and sternly. Emily and the others looked at each other.

Lily pulled out the file and ID.

"In my Fifth year I was recruited in to MI-5, a muggle organization, it is like the advanced guard only much more tactical, tactical meaning there is no magic used, unless fighting against magic. I am a spy for the British Government. MI-5 has been trying to crack down on Lord Voldemort because he hasn't only been terrorizing the wizarding population but the muggle one as well. Ben Croft is my partner. He is a death eater, but is only a death eater in order to have a connection to the Dark Lord. For the last two years he has been working on and off for the Dark Lord undercover as have I. recently we have uncovered new information on him, and who he plans to target."

"My parents," James uttered. Lily turned to him grabbing the file from her lap.

"Yes, this is the file I found in Denmark on your parents your real parents."

"Your father was the son of Lord Voldemort; he is the one who killed them." Lily said handing him the file. James took the file and looked through it.

"This is about me." He said looking at old photographs of him.

"Yes, your parents' information is in the back." Lily said. James flipped to the back where he saw a photograph of his parents, they were smiling and waving.

"They were MI-5." James said surprised.

"Yes they were spies; the best at that time, a picture hangs of each of them on the wall of glory at the office." Lily said.

"Thank you, lily for this." James said.

Lily turned to the others. The room I go to, to leave is a special room Dumbledore made for me so I could go to work. Inside is another small room where I keep my equipment and money etcetera."

"So all of the time you have come back bruised is because you've been fighting?" Alicia asked.

"Mostly, on the train when you all saw my writs it was from being tied to a chair for two hours while I confronted a man."

"What happened?" Sirius asked

"Well the man wanted to know who I worked for and I couldn't tell him so he kept beating me, well slapping me. I didn't tell him. So he was forced to use drastic measures. So he had this little table with a pair of pliers and he threatened to pull my teeth out until I told him."

"Did he?"

"Wait where was Ben, since he's your partner?" Emily inquired

"Well I told him to start from the back since I wasn't going to tell him who I worked for. So he did. After ten minutes of puling and four teeth gone, Ben finally came in and eliminated the man."

"Eliminate?" Remus asked

"He killed him." Lily said

"I was then taken out of France and back to Headquarters and the hospital." Lily said.

"You were in France?"

"Yeah."

"Where were you for the ball for you school, since I'm pretty sure you lied about that?" Emily asked.

"That was in Germany."

"How many countries have you been to?" James piped in.

"Gosh a lot, I've been all over Europe, America but only to California and New York and I've actually been to parts of Asia." Lily explained

"Cool."

"So do you have to work tonight?"

"I might, probably, but don't worry I don't think I'm traveling tonight."

"Good, so you'll be back before tomorrow then?" James asked. He had put the file aside and grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her towards him gently

"Yup,"

Later that night Lily went to see Langston they further discussed her plan and the equipment she would need.

Lily arrived back to the dorm little after eleven. James was sitting on the couch waiting for her. She entered and ran up to him and hugged him.

"Everything alright?" he asked in a worried tone.

"Yes I'm just happy to have the night off and to be with you."

"I actually won't be here next Tuesday though." Lily said as she pulled away from James slightly.

"Where will you be?"

"London, for my exams." She said giving him another hug.

"Lily, have you even studied?"

"Yes I think I'm ready."

"Good. Uh will you be free this weekend for Hogsmead, it the second to last before the holiday?"

"I'll have to see, I probably will. Ben is coming tomorrow to do some Business work with me so I won't see you in the afternoon tomorrow."

"Oh for that potion?" he asked

"Yes."

"Okay, it's pretty late we should probably get to bed." James suggested. He and Lily headed upstairs to their separate room and went to sleep.

Please Review. Thanks to all who have. I appreciate it!
