Ch.38: Halfway done

Lily arrived back at the dorm where the rest were sitting, james came quickly up to lily.

"What's up?" he asked concernedly.

"Uh, nothing, could we talk though a bit later?" Lily asked softly. James nodded in returned with concern. Lily sat down in the common room and began her homework, she had told them what Dumbledore was planning, but not about who would do the work, just a brief overview.

It was around ten thirty; Lily and James had gotten two other prefects to do their duties that night, when the others went back to their dorms.

James grabbed his things and set them on the table, he looked over and saw lily staring at the Christmas tree in the corner, it was glimmering with gold and red tinsel and white lights, several presents had already been set under it.

Lily stared at the tree longingly, it was her first Christmas with out her parents, she couldn't believe her only fear had come to life, the risk of some one she loved finding out about her job was her biggest fear.

James came over and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly. He sat down next to her.

"How are you, what was it you wanted to talk about?" He asked putting his hand onto hers.

Lily looked to him and smiled gently.

"I'm fine, just miss them, my parents that's all." She said.

"I'm sorry, I miss mine as well." James said bending his head down.

"Your parents were great aurors, they won't be forgotten." Lily said.

"Yeah, they were, but still." James said looking up.

"You know how I said of Dumbledore's plan, about a couple of us working undercover for voldemort?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, Dumbledore asked if we would like to do it, he understands if you don't want . . ."

"Of course I do, I want to get back at him for what he did, what he's done to the whole wizarding community."

Lily knew he was serious and smiled at his valor.

"Alright, well, in that case you and I need to go on a little mission, so I can see that you're ready, as an agent to do it." Lily said.

"Okay, when?"

"I'm not sure yet, but since we'll be around dementors I'll have to teach you dimenthian and some parcel tongue. I think I'm going to teach all of you guys including Frank and Alice." Lily said

"Dimenthian?" James asked

"Language for red coated dementors, a different kind, they're very rare, but Voldemort has a few."

"Oh. Hey, well my parents had a tradition of giving gifts, on Christmas eve, do you want to open one now?" James asked a bit cheerfully.

"Sure, you can open the one I got for you." Lily said running to the tree.

James ran upstairs to get his present for Lily. James had gotten Lily a necklace of platinum with an emerald pendant. He came back down. Lily was sitting on the couch.

"Okay, here." James said holding out the box. Lily looked at it curiously, yet happily and took it. Lily handed him his, it was quite big.

"What is it, its heavy?" he asked.

"Open it," Lily said with a smile.

"No you go, ladies first," James insisted. Lily smiled and unwrapped the gift. It was a black velvet box. Lily opened it and her jaw dropped and she looked up quickly to James.

"Oh my god!" Lily said with awe.

"Do you like it?" He asked nervously.

"Of course, thank you James!" Lily exclaimed giving him a hug and a long kiss."

At that moment Lily knew she had fallen in love with him, he had really changed from the arrogant, or so she thought prat and had grown up in to a loving boyfriend.

"James I love you thank you, so much." Lily said

"I Love you too," James responded with a smile and kissed lily once more.

"Okay open yours!" Lily said a bit cautiously.

"Okay," James started to rip open the package, it was quite big.

"Did you get me a book?" James asked pausing before he took the rest of the paper off.

"Just open it." Lily said.

James unwrapped the gift and stared at it, it was a leather bound book with the name James Potter inscribed on the top of it.

James opened it and looked at the pages, they were covered with pictures, pictures of a man and a woman and some other people. James looked up confused. Lily realized this.

"They're your parents, James." she said softly.

James looked back down.

"Where did you get all of these photographs?"

"From MI-5 and storage, you hate it don't you, I shouldn't have . . ." Lily began frowning

"No, I love it, I never knew them, Thank you lily, this means a lot, more than you think.

"There is a couple with you in the back," Lily said.

James flipped to the back of the book and saw a picture of him as an infant with his parents, his mother stood holding him, she had wavy, Black wavy hair, and brown eyes; she was beautiful.

"She looks like she's . . ." James began.

"Part Veela, she is, her mother was a vela." Lily said.

James looked to his father, he looked a lot like him; they had the same face shape and eyes, hazel. His hair was brown

"You look like your dad." Lily pointed out.

"Yeah, funny." James said with a smile. James closed the book and turned to lily.

"Thank you," he said and kissed her once more. They putt their gifts away and parted for bed.

000000000000000000000

Christmas morning came around and Sirius and Alicia along with Remus and Emily came to open gifts. They exchanged gifts among each other.

"Thanks Lily, I've been wanting this book." Remus said cheerfully and he opened the gift from Lily.

"You're welcome," Lily said.

Lily had gotten a book from Emily, it was on Charms. Sirius gave a her a Zoncos product which she enjoyed, Alicia gave her a muggle CD of The Rolling Stones, one of Lily's favorite bands. And Remus gave her a never drying quill for school.

Lily had given all of her presents away except for Sirius.

"Alright Sirius I have you gift out side so I'll be right back, close your eyes," Lily said standing up, "Make sure he doesn't look." Lily said.

Remus pulled his wand out and muttered an incantation; suddenly a blind fold appeared over Sirius's eyes.

Lily opened the portal, inside the room against the wall stood the large object James had seen before lily grabbed it and began to roll it out of the small room. She entered the room, with the present beside her. She rolled it over to where the group was sitting.

"What is it Lily?" Sirius asked.

"Okay, take the blind fold off." Lily said. the blind fold came off and Sirius looked confused.

"You present is under this sheet, now I know, well a littly bird told me that you were in search of a new way of transportation and I thought you might like this." Lily said. Sirius stood up and walked over as did the others.

"What is it?" He asked once more.

"Vuella!" Lily exclaimed and ripped the sheet off of the object. There standing in the common room was a black motorcycle.

Sirius's jaw dropped with shock.

"Holy merlin, where did you get this?" he asked shocked, walking up to the bike.

"It was mine, but since I have a car I don't have much use for it, I thought you'd have more use out of it and it basically brand new I only got it last year. Plus it was the power of flight built in to it and it was can be turned invisible with the switch of this button here." Lily said.

"Thank you so much lily, gosh I don't know what to say."

The others were smiling.

"Can I give it a go?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah we can go into the muggle world I know a place where we can test it out, so you can practice." Lily said.

"Cool," Sirius said.

The group got ready to go into the muggle world and test out the new bike. Lily shrunk the bike with a flick of her wand and they traveled to the place where lily had mentioned.

It was a deserted parking lot, area. Lily took the bike and transformed it back to it's normal size. Lily showed Sirius how it was driven and taught him how to drive it, he caught on pretty well and soon was driving on his own. He drove Alicia, Remus, Emily and James around a few times.

Suddenly lily heard car tires, she looked around and saw a black Mercedes driving up to them. The car stopped as did Sirius on the bike; he parked it and got off. A man came out of the car, it was Ben.

"Ben?" Lily asked walking up to him.

"Hey, I don't mean to disturb your outing, but could I talk to you for a sec?" he asked the other came up to them.

"Yeah what is it?"

"I'm sorry, I heard what happened, about your parents along with James's, I'm sorry "He said looking to James.

"We found Rockwell."

"Where?"

"Turin, Italy. You leave tonight; we think he's handing the book off, to grey Back."

"GreyBack, but he's dealing the book to Riddle," Lily said

"Plans changed, it's being tapped off to GreyBack, I have the bad copy, we need you along with Sirius or another agent, perhaps Templeton, because of your status, or whoever to swap copies, tonight, you leave in two hours." Ben said.

Ben turned away and walked ot the car, he brought out a large brief case, he opened it to show them that the book was inside.

Lily took the case.

"I'll be in contact with you, good luck." Ben said and drove off.

Lily turned to the others.

"So who would like to come?" Lily asked.

"I don't think I should go Lily, with the wolfathian war there might be hunters." Emily said.

"I understand," Lily said and turned to the others.

"I'll go," James offered.

Lily looked to Sirius and Alicia incase they offered aswell, they didn't.

"Okay James we'll go, we should get back so we can get ready.

They all got into the car and headed back to the dorm. They arrived where Dumbledore, Langston, and Ledford all stood waiting.

"Oh Professor and Langston . . ." Lily said entering the room.

"Hello, Ms. Evans." Dumbledore said.

"Is there something wrong Professor?" James asked concerned.

"Well I presume you now the hand off is being made today. Which one of you or two of you going?" he asked

"James and I, Professor," Lily said.

"Good, Damian, give the Tech check," Langston said.

"Certainly, well they are meeting at a hotel in the bar area, Hotel Roder in Turin. You Lily will be disguised as the bar tender and James will be their book boy. There is most likely going to be a man with the book, with Rockwell, that will be you James, you must intercept him from the group and switch the book at that time, you don't have a lot of time, but just enough, Ben gave you the book, right?" he asked

They nodded

"Okay keep in tough with these (pulling out little ear pieces giving them to both James and Lily) your clothes are over there, along with your weaponry." Damian said.

Lily and James got Dressed and got a on a plain headed to Turin.

Once there Lily and James met up with Rockwell's group, Langston had found their position, they were looking for a man named Langley, the guy whome James would take the place of.

"Over there, the dark hair," Lily whispered Lily and James grabbed the guy and lily knocked him out, James cut a strand of his hair and drank polyjuice potion which Ben had prepared.

James nearly gagged and then began transforming.

"How do I look?"

"good,"

"Okay let's get that book," James walked out with the others while Lily went to the Bar. She began to prepare drinks for other people in the hotel, when suddenly Rockwell's Group came over and ushered everyone out except for the bar tender.

"Hello, how are you?" Rockwell asked Lily slyly.

"Fine, what can I get for you and your men?" Lily asked.

"Oh how about drinks for everyone, port will be fine." He said with out looking away.

"Is that your natural color, hair I mean?"

"No, it's blond, I died it Black." Lily said beginning to fix the drinks up.

Suddenly James began to cough fiercely.

Rockwell turned around

"Woman get him some water." He yelled at Lily, Lily did as she was told, but they had no water up at the bar and James continued to cough.

"Sir perhaps I should take him to the back, we have no water back here." Lily suggested.

"Very well, you two go with her and Langley." He said pointing to other men. They followed Lily and had James by the arm: who had the box with the Real book inside.

Once inside the back room Lily punched both the men and James silently charmed them to fall down easily to the ground as to not make a ruckus. Lily and James switched the books quickly and they revived the two men. James and the other two went out.

"Everything alright?" Rockwell asked.

"Yes sir, uh hum" James said clearing his throat.

The doors opened and in came Fenrir GreyBack.

"Hello Fenrir," Rockwell said coming up to the man whom had several men behind him.

"Do you have it?" he asked sternly.

"Yes, I do, Langley." He said turning to James. James walked forward and opened the case. Grey Back took the book and examined it.

James glared at him, meaningfully. He hated him for what he had done to Remus and about the wolfathian war.

"What are you glaring at?" He asked sternly.

James said nothing and Rockwell pushed him to the side.

"I apologize he isn't well." Rockwell said.

"Well a deal is a deal, tell me where Potter is," Rockwell said to Greyback.

"I'll have him for you soon," he said turning away.

"We had a deal!" yelled Rockwell.

"We do, I said I'd have to get the wolves at Hogwarts then I'll be able to get Potter for you. Don't worry your promise to Riddle won't be broken."

"Wolves, I thought there was one, Lupin?"

"Yes there are two, Templeton as well." Greyback said.

"Very well, we'll meet again in two weeks time, buy then we should have the book cracked and ready for the attack." Greyback said.

"What should I do about Riddle, he's expecting the book, and he doesn't know of our arrangement?"

"Here give him this," Greyback said he magically duplicated the book, but then put a wrongful curse upon it (A/N Basically he just screwed the book up even more, since he thought it was the right copy, so Voldemort will get an even more messed up copy)

"Thanks, I'll see you soon." Rockwell said.

Greyback left with his men and Rockwell left with his. James managed to get away from the group and back to the compartment where the real Langley lay. James turned back to himself and they sent Langley on his way with a memory charm upon him, so he wouldn't remember a thing. Lily and James then left Turin and traveled back to MI-5.

"You did well, James," Lily commented.

"Thanks, so now we've got it, what are we going to do with it?" James asked looking down at the case.

"We're going to destroy it, but we're only halfway done with this whole operation, there's still more to be taken care of." Lily firmly said as she and James got on to a plane that was landed near by.

Please Review! Thanks it would make my day!
