Lily was pleased to say that a second day of house hunting had found her, Amelia and Dorcas a new home in muggle London. Lily and Dorcas who had both grown up in muggle neighborhoods had sworn to make sure that Amelia didn't make any mistakes in front of muggles. And so, with the normal weirdness of her life, Lily reflected she began to move on into adult life.

She was just going to bed on Sunday, the day before Auror training began when she heard tapping at the window of the half unpacked apartment lounge room. She hurried over to open the window and a handsome tawny owl flew in, a letter clasped in his beak.

'That's a Hogwarts owl' said Amelia walking into the room carrying a pile of freshly laundered robes.

'It's addressed to all of us' said Dorcas who had walked into the room propelled by the other girl's voices.

Lily opened the letter and unfolded it and read aloud.

Dear Lily, Amelia and Dorcas,

I hope that this letter finds you happy and safe in your new home. I am writing to invite you to meet me at the Hog's Head pub tomorrow evening at 7pm sharp. Please send the owl back with your response.

Hoping to see you tomorrow,

Professor Albus Dumbledore.

'Well waddaya know?' said Sirius over at the boy's apartment. They had just read a similar letter.

'Well do you want to go?' said Peter who was over visiting but had to get home to his parents house.

'Duh Fred!' said Remus absently

'What does that mean? His name is Peter not Fred?' said Sirius completely nonplussed.

'Sorry. Muggle expression.' Apologized Remus

'Where do you get them from Moon-' began Sirius but he was cut off by James who was sick of their stupid little conversation.

'Of course we will Wormtail.' That was the end of the discussion. James had always been the leader of the group.

The future Aurors spent a sleepless night tossing and turning worrying about what was in store for the first lesson.

James dreamed of having to dance the tango with Sirius because he couldn't perform a jinx and woke up, cold with sweat. He had not told anyone about wanting to propose to Lily yet. They were only 18 after all he reflected. And yet, with Voldemort around and people dieing everyday many were eloping. James didn't want his wedding to e muttered about as eloping. He wanted it to be special but with Lily as the bride how could it be anything but?

Dorcas didn't sleep much either. She was worrying about her relationship with Sirius. She was now his longest girlfriend but he hadn't said that he loved her. She loved him but she couldn't say it for fear that he wouldn't say it back. Was it a serious relationship? She didn't know. She wanted desperately to get closer to him. But how should she do it?

Lily and Sirius both tossed and turned at the thought of Auror Academy having strings of strained dreams. Alice and Frank however slept blissfully, both riding on the high of a marriage proposal that had occurred a few hours earlier.

At 8.30am that morning James Potter was to be found apparating to his girlfriends flat, his best friend behind him. Sirius apparated into the girls lounge room and ran smack into Lily, both of them falling to the floor.

'Watch it Black! Your not the only one here you know!' She spat in a most un-Lily-ish way. James inwardly chuckled, remembering how snappy Lily got when she was nervous and went into her bedroom.

'So, I got a letter from Dumbledore yesterday' he said soothingly to her. She cocked her head to one side, a gesture that made James want to snog her brains out. But he restrained himself.

'That's odd. Amelia and Dorcas and I did too.' She said her brain ticking and becoming less stresses.

'Yeah?' said James, even more interested in the letter 'Well this one was to Remus, Peter, Sirius and I.'

Lily was about to speak when 'LILY, PRONGS STOP SNOGGING AND COME HERE' came the delightful voice of Mr. Sirius Black.

'Bloody hypocrite' said James 'He's probably snogging Dorcas as we speak.'

7 hours, a delusional ex Auror who put the Imperius curse on all of them, News of a marriage proposal, lots of squeals, more training with a delusional ex Auror and more Homework than a NEWT class with McGonagall later Remus, Amelia, Lily, James, Sirius, Dorcas, Peter and Frank and Alice who had also received a letter from Dumbledore were all sitting in the Hogshead pub waiting for Dumbledore.

Auror training hadn't been as scary as Lily thought and she was proud to say that she was one of the few who had thrown the Imperius curse. James had had much more trouble and was limping slightly from the hopping, skipping and jumping that he had half resisted doing. Sirius had laughed as James had performed the triple jumps over and over, half trying to stop himself from doing it. But James got his own back when Sirius was made to impersonate a rooster.

All speculation about what they were doing there and reflection over the day stopped as Albus Dumbledore entered the shabby pub.

'Ah hello!' called Dumbledore. They all smiled rather nervously.

'Come, come' he said quietly beckoning them over 'Now, you've all used a port key?' they nodded. 'And hold on count of three. Three two one' Lily felt the now familiar sensation of a hook pulling her from below the navel and a moment later she crashed to the ground before being pulled up by James. Lily felt Dorcas suck in her breath beside her and looked up to see that same delusional ex Auror.

'Hello Professor Moody' said Lily boldly 'Alright Evans?' said Moody. Before Lily could respond Dumbledore cleared his throat and Lily, along with the others jumped to attention.

'Welcome to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix' said Dumbledore.

'I have invited you here to ask you if you would like to join the society that fights against Voldemort. But first come and sit down. We have much to discuss.'

A/N: And it ends! I'm not very happy with this chapter but it does what it needs to do. I realize I'm not getting many (or any) reviews but I can only ask… nay… I can BEG! Please, I'm only just starting so any criticism would be helpful. I know people are reading this (the hits) but it wouldn't take you long to review it.

Ok, see you.
