One Year Before Dumbledore's Death.

He could hear the cries of so many voices as he looked around in horror. He saw many faces, and then he saw them, his friends. Their faces were the faces he had longed to see in sixteen years. The one he saw in Harry's face. He reached out to them and they smiled and held out their hands to stop him. They met his eyes and in unison they spoke," You were not meant to fall through here at this time. You were not meant to join us until your task is completed."

He was confused he didn't understand what they meant. He reached out for them again, but he was stopped like before," Why do you keep stopping me!" He screamed out, it was to much for him to bare. He couldn't bear to be kept away from them, the only people who mattered. But a pain struck in his heart as he searched again," Where is she?" He cried out, but they said nothing.

Again their voices rang out in unison," You were not meant to join us in the realm of the dead; your task is not complete. You are being sent back to the realm of the living, the realm that you belong in." With that they vanished and he fell back through a veil of black silk into a room with stands and covered in stone.

He looked around, his heart broken, his friends had dispelled him. His eyes grazed the room, hoping to see Harry, but the room was empty except for the remains of a shattered prophecy.

A chill ran down his spine as a hand touched his shoulder. It was feminine and young. He turned to see a figure in a scarlet cloak with a golden ferret embedded in the chest. Their face was hidden in the darkness of the hood. He gasped; he didn't think that there was anyone here, unless she had been hidden from an invincibility cloak. His voice stammered, still in shock at being pushed out through the veil," Are you of the Order?"

She removed her hand and sighed," It isn't safe here." A soft and soothing tone came from her voice, one that he hadn't heard in a long while. She moved up the steps and towards a door," Can you apperate?" Her eyes met his through the darkness of her secretive appearance.

The question seemed to echo through his head, the voice was so much like a siren's. He swallowed in amazement, and stuttered lightly," I… I… Can…" He then cleared his throat as he tried to get a better look at the woman underneath the hood.

She turned and looked around, as if checking to see if the coast was clear. She then looked back at him with out turning her body to face him," Good. Then follow me to Godric Hallow Please." And without another word she did a slight turn and was gone with a crack that echoed through the room.

For a moment he stood there in awe at what was happening. His hands were shaking; something was too familiar with that voice he'd heard come out of her mouth. He considered following the female as she had requested, but something stirred in his gut, something was pushing him to follow her. It was something he could not ignore. So many questions had arisen, that she could answer. He was urged to follow her.

In an instant he focused his mind on Godric Hallow, and only Godric Hallow. Slowly he turned and in seconds a cracked echoed through his ears. He then felt his body being compressed, air leaving his lungs, and then it was gone as soon as it had started. Slowly he opened his eyes as his lungs filled with air, and sounds of owls hooting filled his senses along with a cool breeze. He smiled at what he saw before his eyes.

A house creaked from old age and old abandonment. The windows were dusty and darkened due to the lack of light with in. The cloaked figure sat on the red steps with their hands in their hood, holding their head obviously. It was until he saw that figure, that he knew where he was. Swallowing he turned and saw two tomb white marble tomb stones and a sign. All the air was sucked out of him, he couldn't speak.

He was back at James' house, and there was his and his wife's grave. He nearly collapsed, why did he apperate here of all places. He turned back to the cloaked figure then joined her on the steps as he stared at James and Lily's graves. This was the first time he had been back since he was freed. He felt like a prat, if only he hadn't turned away from the duty that was asked of him. He would have been able to save them and Harry would have had a life.

A muffled cry reverberated through his left ear and he looked at the female next to him. She was sobbing, had she realized where she was? Even more how did she know James and Lily? He reached out his hand slowly and paused for a moment inches away from her hood. His hand shook; he grabbed it slowly and pulled on it letting it fall down from her face. Horror struck him, he knew who she was!

She had long curly brown hair that seemed messy and air blown, even though it was pulled back into a pony tail by a golden ribbon. It accented her copper eyes as they hid behind a pair of oval glasses that too were golden. She was a thin woman though her arms seemed highly muscular, fit for any sort of position on a Quiditch team, he thought.

His words finally met him as he stared at her," Cade?" He was astonished as her head immediately turned towards him and looked at him with those copper gems. Shock over whelmed him and he spoke out again before he could stop himself," Cade… P…Po... Potter!"

Her eyes widened and she turned away, she had been caught, was she not expecting to get caught? Suddenly her head lowered," It's been a long time since I've been called…. That…" Her eyes met his again but then she lowered her head," I shouldn't have left, I could have saved him. I could have been there for them." She stifled a sob.

He paused for a moment and debated on weather or not to hug her. His arms answered for him, and took her in his arms as her tears got heavier," There was nothing you could have done Cade, He came out of no where for them." He felt her crying hardening against his chest as she gripped his dirty shirt.

The things he remembered about Cade were astonishing. She was James' cousin, and even though James was an excellent wizard, she was an even more brilliant witch. She was a mud blood and when her parents learned of her abilities they abandoned her on aunt and uncles door steps to raise her as their own, washing their hands of her. Gladly they took her in and she grew up at James' side and James loved her like a little sister.

Cade had mastered nonverbal spells at the blistering age of ten, which was no surprise to James. And even though James was older, that did not stop him from having adventures with her. In school James may have taken the blunt of the trouble, but Cade always seem to be sitting next to him the next day getting him in more trouble and then getting James out of it. They both played on the Gryffindor Quiditch team, James as a seeker, and Cade was the best beater that Hogwarts had ever seen, well next to Fred and George Weasley. In fact if Molly had known about Cade she would have known where they got their inspiration, of course they didn't know that Cade Potter was part of Harry's family, and assumed she wasn't.

She had left Hogwarts with magnificent marks, and started off in the ministry of magic for a year before going to Hogwarts for the position of teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts. She was gladly accepted they day Harry was born, it was a double celebration, and James was doubly proud to have a son and that Cade was teaching at the place she loved. She also was an order member, but was never in any of the pictures. She was an under cover agent as well, doing what the Dark Lord had asked her to do, but always keeping in contact with Albus Dumbledore.

Halfway through her first year of teaching at Hogwarts, she was engaged with him. However when the last term of that Hogwarts Year had ended, she had vanished. Several called her a Death Eater, but he knew different. Some said that she had defied the Dark Lord and now she was dead, he feared she wasn't. Others simply said that the Dark Lord had a price on her head and she went into hiding, if that was the case, he prayed she was safe. One month later James had died and Harry was sent to be with the Dersleys for protection.

He looked at Cade as she dried her tears and hugged her tighter. He was never going to let her go; he wasn't going to let another person of Harry's family die. He pulled away from her and met her eyes. Smiling lightly he spoke softly," Where have you been?"

Cade stood slowly and her fist clenched," Hiding, Like Dumbledore told me to." Her voice was clam, but it had a touch of resentment," Dumbledore discovered before I had to return to Voldmort's side one night to report to him that he knew whose side I was on is. He was going to kill me." She ran her fingers over James' grave," I've been hiding in America… As a teacher at Salem Institute. When my mark began to burn, I knew that he was back." She paused," When I heard of James' death I wanted to come back, I wanted to be with Harry, like I should have been." She rubbed her temples," I worried about Harry when he disappeared from the magic world and even more when Voldomort went missing.

He jumped to his feet and in a panic," But then why aren't you still hiding?" Wary he looked around then pulled her into the abandoned house. He gripped her by the shoulders," Are you mad! You could still be in danger!"

Cade laughed lightly," If Dumbledore hadn't stayed with me while they were searching for him I would have given up and gone to see Harry myself three months ago. As it was Dumbledore needed my help." She paused," I was in that battle; at the ministry wearing the invincibility cloak that Dumbledore left me."

He sighed and took her hand his heart dancing;" I knew you were alive!" He paused," What are you doing here?"

Cade sighed," I'm going to be helping him hunt for some things next year, and help protect Harry." She smiled proud that she could finally help Harry," I suppose since people think you're dead you will be helping me help Dumbledore." She stammered," At least until its okay to show yourself."

He looked at her calmly and smiled slightly," Alright, I'll help you as best I can." He smiled and sat on the steps of the stairs inside the house. He had thought about contacting Harry to tell him he was alive, yet something told him it would be best not to tell him. He would have to keep his location secret and that was something he couldn't do if he talked to Harry.

She walked over to the stairs and then passed him as she went up. She circled around until she came to a blank wall. Waving her wand a door appeared with crimson letters that said Order of the Phoenix. She turned the knob and walked in. There in the room was a table, a unlit fire place, a pair of beds, a closet, and a cauldron. Slowly she walked over to the closet and pulled out a crimson cloak with a wolf like dog on the front of it. I was next to a pair of cloaks that had a stag and a humming bird on them. She sighed and ran her fingers over the one with the stag before he joined her in the room. Slowly she turned and tossed him the cloak.

He looked at it calmly as his own fingers trailed the dog then he looked up. His voice was shaky," I want to send Harry his parent's cloaks." He tried to keep from crying as he slid on the cloak and smiled.

She looked at him calmly," In due time we shall. Until then we have to make towards Hogwarts. We are needed there at this time. Protective spells have to be conjured and even more we must set up our look out positions." She smiled," Are you sure you can do this?"

He fixed his hood and walked out of the room as she did. He smiled and took her hand as they walked down the steps. They walked out side together and looked at the white stones where his friends rested and sighed," I'd go any where with you Cade."

She hugged James' tomb stone and held back the urge to cry. She bit her lip and swallowed then turned to him," Then let's get started." She smiled and placed her hands on Lily's tomb, her hand was shaking. She had never liked Lily, but all the while knew that James adored her, and if he was happy with Lily, she was happy for James. She stopped in mid step and looked at him," This is for you," She held out a box and handed it to him. It was something she had managed to keep for a long time.

He took the brown box slowly and opened it his hands shaking. He laughed lightly at what he had seen resting inside of the red velvet interior. Twelve glorious inches of Dragon heart string and unicorn hair, all inside a red wood wand. It was his original wand; the one he had been using was a second hand he had received from Dumbledore. He smiled and kissed it, turning his lips a shade of baby pink.

Cade laughed and fixed his lips," Another thing I kept in safe keeping." She said softly and smiled at him kindly.

His eyes met hers and he felt his heart soar when she smiled. His voice was compassionate as he pocketed his wand," Thank you."

She turned towards the gate of the Potter's yard and let out a deep sigh," Together then?" She said as she looked back at him when he nodded she smiled once more and touched her hand on James' tomb stone again," This is for you James and…" She swallowed," For you Lily." He could tell that something in her still didn't care for Lily. She walked to the gate and opened it then stopped in mid step and turned to him," Are you coming, Sirius?"

He smiled and rushed to her side. In an instant they were gone with a turn and a crack.
