Chapter 11: Contest

a/n: a-full-metel-war and I often help each other with our stories. Yes we have stories under both our names. Feel free to read any of them. This was going to be part of chapter 10, but we decided to make it into a contest. Reviews will be mentioned when we post on fan fiction.

"Traitors," Mr. Potter yelled over his shoulder as his wife locked the door.

"I am sure this is not how you wanted to get to know your future father-in-law but here he is," Linda said as she sat back down enjoying the worried look on her husbands face. "By the way, dear I will know if you are using Occlumency."

As Lily pointed her wand at Mr. Potter she was surprised by what she found inside his head. It wasn't the images of the pictures it was a deep embarrassment. As she lowered her wand all that Mr. potter could do was mumble an embarrassed apology and with his eyes downcast walked to sit in one of the empty chairs. "I think we should do Sirius next," Linda Potter muttered. "I have a feeling that James needs a little more time to get his thoughts in order. Come on Sirius. That is a good boy." Sirius reluctantly was pushed out of the broom closet. He was still screaming at the thought that Lily was going to look in his mind when he came face to face with her.

"No," Sirius screamed. "You don't want to see what is in my mind. James help me."

"No way," James muttered. "I am not getting into this. It was your idea to hide them in the magazines. Besides my turn is coming. Your on your own."

"Do I have to tie you to a chair first?" Lily asked advancing on the still struggling Sirius. "This won't hurt, much. Just relax and be a good little boy."

"Fine, you want to know what is in my mind go ahead," Sirius remarked. "But you won't like it." Lily took a look inside Sirius mind for five seconds before she screamed. "Told you so," Sirius remarked.

"You nasty, git," Lily stormed smacking Sirius. "How dare you think of me like that. You are suppose to be James best friend. I would never pose for one of those magazines."

In the closet James couldn't believe his ears. Apparently Lily had seen something that she did not like because he could hear her screaming even if he could not make out the words. "Poor Lily." James muttered. "At least she will have it easy on me. My mind is all focused on her."

"I think," the four remaining men heard Linda Potter exclaim loudly. "That we should do Albus next. What do you think, Lily."

"OK," Lily replied. "I've always wanted to look into his mind." As Linda lifted the charm on the door Dumbledore came out a little to willingly.

"Now, Linda," Dumbledore smirked. "You not going to tell mum are you?"

"Of course not," Linda smirked. "We had a deal. Besides you taught me everything I know."

Lily looked right into Dumbledore's eyes and pointed her wand at him viewing his mind for a full two minutes giggling every now and then. "Well Professor I never knew you to think that way," Lily muttered still exploring Dumbledore's mind. "Do you know what your uncle thinks of?"

"What?" Linda asked intrigued. "What? Tell me. What?"

"He is not as pure as we thought he was," Lily supplied. "He keeps wondering when the next addition is coming out. He keeps them in plan sight but no one sees them."

"Dumbledore," Linda stormed. "Put him back. I have some things to take care of. Besides you need a break dear. Here have some tea and cakes while I am gone. Make sure you lock the closet when they are all in. Be sure to give them each a magazine so we don't hear them screaming." As she left Linda conjured up a plate of pumpkin cakes and a tray with tea on it. She even conjured a plate of dry cakes for the men in the closet.

"Do we get something to drink at least," Sirius screamed.

"Fine, I'll give you something to drink," Lily muttered. She conjured up a bucket of water and three small glasses. "Since you guys can share the magazines you can share the glasses."

"You are heartless sometimes, Lil," James called from the closet. "Your worse then mum."

"Thank you, James," Lily simpered. "I love you too. Maybe you will remember this next time." Lily started to walk around the room and glanced down at one of the open magazines. "How can these witches degrade themselves like this," Lily wondered to herself. "It's disgusting." With a flick of Lily's wand all the magazines burst in to flames.

"Hey, what's that burning," James yelled from the closet. "she is burning or magazines." With that they all started pounding on the door and trying to break it down they also sent several spells at the door but were unable to find the right one to counter the one that Linda had put on the door.

Linda returned while the men were still trying to get out of the closet with a red envelope that she slide under the door before she stepped back. "How dare you think about that." A feminine voice rang out. "I though t I raised you better then that. If I was there right now I would smack you half way around the world. Teaching your great nephew that. You know how I disapprove of those. I am coming tomorrow to clean your room. If I find a magazine in there your dead meat. You my great- grandson looking at garbage like that. I'm glad you have a girl-friend that will teach you one two. Your mum taught you better. If any of your friends are saving any you all are dead. Thank you for informing me."

When Linda opened the door to get the next victim all six of the men were corrowing in fear. She finally spotted Peter and dragged him out to face Lily. As Lily peered in to Peter's mind all she found was a fantasy of him hitting a target consistently that was further then five meters a way. "Wow," Lily said to Linda "Finally a descent one. Peter, you may go sit down now. We better let Dumbledore, Sirius and Mr. Potter out too. You never know what they are con coting in there."

"Very well," Linda stated going to the closet to collect Remus and the others that had already had their minds probed.

Remus was a little reluctant because he was unsure exactly what Lily would find. Or what she would think of his little secret. As Lily faced him and peered into his eyes he was lost in the emptiness that was Ligilimancy. Lily was surprised that Remus thoughts were only on the upcoming tests and the full moon. Plus a desire to protect everyone from himself even if that meant being by himself for his whole life.

"James Potter," Lily exclaimed in a deep tone. "Your next."

"Me but why me," James stammered in horror. "I don't want to."

"Come on you big baby," Lily answered coaxingly. "You should have thought of that before." Lily lowered her wand and kept it there for a little while then muttered, "Why James. I'm honored. I'm the only person you think of. Although you do think of your mum."

The six men apologize before they all ran off to the Great Hall.
