A/N: Argh I am very aggravated with fanfiction at the moment. I tried to put this chapter up a while ago as you guys might have noticed but when I finally was able to get the document uploaded and updated it wasn't all there! Good grief, and I haven't had the chance to get this pup up until now. Desoleil! Thank you for the reviews though so far.

Chapter 7 of After the Quidditch Game

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly Lily hadn't received any hate mail yet. Of course there was a dorky note from Sirius who pretended to be James most number one lover and how he hated Lily for taking James from him but she hadn't heard anything else about the 'Lisa ordeal'. Lily was quite surprised at that as well but hey she was fine with that if nobody wanted to send her hate mail.

Lily thumbed through her wardrobe and then sank into her futon laughing slightly. She had thought about the whole situation a lot and she was feeling more confident and calmer. It was already Friday and she was trying to find something 'sleazy' to wear to the bar that evening when she went with James.

Moody had told her to make herself look unrecognizable and since it was a bar and she was trying to get information from the Death Eaters she figured a bit of sex appeal wouldn't hurt.

Lily pushed herself off the futon and walked into her closet and pushed through the piles of jeans and shirts. No for the evening she would definitely want to wear a short skirt and a gold digging halter-top! Lily had already decided she would charm her eyes blue and hair black. She wondered what James was going to be wearing.

Lily sighed in frustration as she pushed through her clothes. They weren't what someone could call boring but they definitely weren't concealing and Lily definitely wouldn't fit the part if she ended up wearing a pair of jeans and a sweater. Nay this time she was going to have to go to Julia.

She walked down the hallway to where music was blasting and Julia was dancing around the room with just a pair of shorts and a chemise. Lily laughed and took the hands of Julia. Soon they were dancing all over the room laughing off the stress that had built up that week.

"You know what would be so much fun? If we brought James and his hot friend Sirius to the clubs with us the next time we go eh?" Julia squealed clapping her hands together as the light bulb went off into her head.

"Yeah that definitely sounds like a good idea though I'm guessing it isn't all revolving around me as I saw the way you were eyeing up Sirius as that Quidditch game when we first met him. Hey but Jul I need to tell you something important." Lily said turning playful to serious.

Julia looked at Lily and quirked an eyebrow as if urging her to begin. Lily took a deep breath and thought about what she was doing. She had decided to tell Julia about the Order since she was her best friend and all. And even if Julia seemed like an air bubbled ditz she was anything but! Julia was one of the most strongest people she had ever met and she always there for Lily during her dark times.

Lily opened her mouth and began to explain about the Order and how it came upon her that they wanted her to join. Julia was silent until Lily came to the part where James had invited her to the Order. Julia had a frown on her face and Lily figured that Julia had thought up of something.

"I'm definitely glad that you told me about this Lily but don't you find it suspicious that James randomly just invited you to an Order meeting even though it's top secret and it doesn't have many people in it since they are very suspicious? I mean he wouldn't have just recruited you because he liked you or something, because 1 that's a dangerous involvement for you and 2 he probably had a reason behind it for inviting you." Julia said puzzled as she rested her chin on the palm of her hand.

Lily looked at Julia and she started to see what Julia was indicating at that someone had maybe told him to come and find her? She looked at Julia and than shook her head cheerfully. "James wouldn't do that to me. He definitely wouldn't be leading me on all this time. If it had been me he would've have told me by now." (A/N: Or would he?)

"I hope you're right Lilybunny. I don't want you getting hurt by some stupid Quidditch player." Julia said seriously her blue eyes etched with thought and doubt.

"I don't think he would hurt me. Ah but the moment of time has come when I have come to you to borrow some sleazy clothing. A part of my proving my trust into the Order James and I are going to go undercover and try to collect come information. There is this trashy bar in Knockturn Alley and that's where I'm going this evening!" Lily said laughing at the quirk of Julia's eyes when she connected trust, information and a trashy bar.

"Eh? You're going to prove your trust by going to a bar?" Julia asked sarcastically and she shook her head in an exasperated way.

"Yeah yeah whatever. This guy in the Order gave us the whereabouts to where Death Eaters hang out and there is this little bar in Knockturn Alley that James and I are going this evening and I neeeeed some clothes!" Lily said flinging her hands out in a pleading sign.

Julia raised her eyebrows at Lily's begging and she just rolled her eyes and walked into her closet. 20 minutes later they had compiled a satisfactory outfit together. Lily and Julia were both looking in the long mirror smiling at Lily's reflection. Lily was wearing a tight black skirt that came right up to her mid thigh. She was wearing black hooker boots that came to her knees and she was wearing a slinky blue halter-top.

" Oh la la la! Well don't you look sleazy? Is this good enough for our little mission with James? James is gonna get a good slap in the face when he sees your wearing this. Make sure he doesn't get other ideas in mind eh." Julia said giggling as Lily turned to shove her.

"Har har." Lily said dryly.

"Stop imitating a bloody pirate Lily!" Julia said sticking her tongue out at her friend with a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Whatever, you know you love me." Lily said and than she spun out of the room dramatically. Julia whistled enthusiastically at Lily's newfound strut and than she closed her door so she could finish memorizing her lines for her upcoming musical she was performing in.

Lily shrugged out of the tight and a tad uncomfortable clothes and she slipped into a pair of sweatpants. Lily had thought that maybe before meeting up with James she would look at the information about the Death Eaters they knew of already that James had owled her that morning.

Pulling out a wrinkled piece of parchment Lily looked it over and read:

Death Eater Suspects

Severus Snape: A young man in his twenties. We have reasons to believe that Snape is connected with Lord Voldemort as we have found him countless times in the company of suspected Death Eaters. Don't forget he's skilled at Occulmency so don't let him look into your secrets.

Luscius Malfoy: A tall man with long white hair and cold gray eyes. We can pretty much confirm that he is indeed a Death Eater since we have caught him in action terrorizing muggles. Watch out for this prick as he is quite powerful and has learned the Dark Arts from Voldemort himself.

Regulus Black: Not sure about this young fellow. He is under the suspecting list just from rumors passed in between the Order members. We have seen him conversing with other suspected Death Eaters.

Lily shivered at the picture of Luscius and looked at the photo of Severus. He looks quite creepy actually with his black eyes and greasy looking hair she thought to herself. Luckily Lily had mastered Legilmency in Beauxbatons during an advanced class of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Lily than turned her head and studied the picture of Regulus. Something about him looked oddly familiar though she couldn't quite place it.

Lily decided to go through the page of suspected Death Eater's so she might be able to recognize one at the bar tonight. Lily lowered herself onto her comfy futon and pulled the booklet of pages with her. Sleepiness slowly took her as she yawned her way through the reports on Death Eaters and the gathered information. The last image Lily had before she fell surrender to the slumber was the picture of Luscius on her mind. For some reason she felt that she hadn't seen the last of him yet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"She's sleeping again!" James voice floated into Lily's opened door.

Lily moaned into her sleep and she shifted onto the other side. She heard footsteps coming down the hall and all of a sudden she quickly got up frantically combing her hair pulled on the black skirt and halter-top. Lily looked around and then grabbed the shoes and hopped around the room trying to get them on. Lily looked into the small compact mirror and grimaced. She pulled out her trusty wand and waved it over her face reapplying the makeup that had been slightly smudged.

"Erm yeah I think so…Lily likes her sleep! Just go into her room and wake her. I have lines to memorize!" Came Julia's annoyingly cheerful voice and Lily could hear that they were just outside of her door.

Lily heard James snort slightly and she could hear him padding down the hallway. Looking into the mirror one last time she pulled on a black jacket that went with her skirt and fastened in some big silver hoops in her ears. James pushed the door open and when he caught sight of Lily his mouth dropped open slightly as he took in her appearance.

And Lily did look quite hot as one would say. With her short black skirt, black hooker boots and the slinky blue halter-top she showed off what she had just right. Her newly charmed black hair was in a high silky black ponytail on the back of her head and her blue eyes were glowing. Lily smiled at James charmingly and walked up to him and put a hand on his chest and said, "You look quite good yourself Mister Potter."

James gulped softly as he watched her saunter out of the room. He indeed was adorned in the appropriate clothes. James was wearing a pair of dark denim pants and a dark green muscle shirt that matched his newly charmed green eyes. His hair was a dark brown flippy hairstyle and he was wearing a leather jacket to finish off the new look.

Lily laughed in the hallway slightly and she blew a kiss to Julia who was in her room finishing the last tedious booklet of lines she would need to know. Lily grabbed her wand and a small blue handbag that had some wizarding money in it. She looked up to see James exit her room and he walked towards with an unreadable look on his face.

"You look pretty good with black hair but I definitely prefer the red hair any day." James said simply before taking her hand and than they apparated into the night.

Lily and James appeared into a dark alleyway and she was about to cross the small street over to the Dark Spotter's but James grabbed her arm.

"We need to make a rough plan just in case anything goes wrong. If we do manage to get into a spot of trouble with anyone apparate immediately. I'm going to give you this tube of lipstick that Dumbledore has put a powerful charm on. If you know it is time to go I want you to rub it in your pocket to apparate. I will than feel it or you will and it will heat up in your pocket. Lets plan to go to your flat and then I'll be on my way." James said seriously looking her straight in the eye.

Lily nodded and he handed her the pink tube of unsuspecting lipstick. Once again Lily's confidence in Dumbledore rose yet again. He was an amazing wizard and she was ever so grateful he was on their side.

"Sounds like quite the plan. Lets get going then." Lily said nodding to the cavern type bar named Dark Spotters.

James took Lily's hand and they walked into the Dark Spotter's.

"If they're the men I know they will approach you sometime tonight. Don't go anywhere with them alone. You don't know what they are capable of." James said squeezing her hand and they entered into the bar.

The bar gave off an air of suspiciousness and somewhat treachery. Lily wrinkled her nose at the greasy barkeeper who was handing off the dozens of drinks to what looked like vampires! Lily felt her insides wrinkle and she looked up at James her eyes wide. He nodded reassuringly at her a smile coming up on his handsome face.

"I'm going to go play some pool with those chaps over there. You'll be okay? The vampires won't touch you here." James said grinning at her and than he walked over to the pool table with a swagger. Lily let out a nervous giggle and then decided to go and sit by an unsuspicious man sitting in a little bit way from the vampires.

Lily sat down and felt the vampires looking her up. One even had the nerve to lick his lips hungrily touching the top of his mouth in an indecent way. Lily snorted at them and tossed her head. The man next to her let out a laugh and he extended a hand to her, "Regulus and who might this risky lady be?"

Lily felt something in her stomach drop as she recognized this man as the one on the suspect list of her papers of Death Eaters. She let out a dazzling smile and said flirtatiously, "It's Jessica, oh but why would you say risky?" She asked dumbly as she batted her eyelashes at him.

She could see that Regulus was taken by this attention because he said, "Dark Spotter's isn't for pretty little ladies like you. Not the nicest joint of town if you get what I'm saying."

"Oh but why would you say that?" Lily asked as she shook her hand at the barkeeper for a beer. Regulus took a swig from his beer and grinned at her handsomely. He was quite handsome with his dark hair and eyes. Very composed young man and by the looks of things he probably was one or two years younger than she.

"You get all kinds of characters coming here. Just look at those prats over there drooling over you." Regulus said sneeringly his white teeth showing.

Lily let out a girlish laugh and said, "Regulus! That wasn't very nice."

"If I was them I would be doing the same except I wouldn't want to be them since I'm in a much better situation. How bout we dance?" Regulus asked but he more like pulled her hand and leaded her out to the small dance floor. Lily looked around and she saw James playing pool and chatting it up with some rogues over there.

Regulus stopped and pulled her tightly close to him. Lily could smell the beer coming off his breath and she could see James out of the corner of her eye glaring at the two. Lily grimaced at the sudden closeness but decided this was for the Order so she might as well deal with it.

"So do bad boys come here then?" She whispered into his ear huskily.

"All kinds. Don't suppose a girl like you have heard about Death Eaters? Well it just so happens your dancing with one of those bad boys right now." Regulus said swaying with her his hands traveling down farther than she liked.

Gritting her teeth she said in a faked impressed voice, "Regulus that's so dangerous."

"Oh but I even do more. I pass information from inside the Ministry to the Dark Lord himself." Regulus said in a bragging voice as if he possessed the most important jobs of them all.

"Regulus!" Lily said in a shocked voice. Inside she felt like clubbing herself over the head for acting like such an airhead but it was part of the disguise.

"Yeah a few days ago my good pal Luscius and I got in a close fix. We were spose to have kidnapped this girl named Lily Evans but she's not the easiest to track. I asked the Dark Lord why we needed her but never do that." Regulus said shuddering at the mere memory of the punishment he had served.

Lily felt herself grown cold at the mention of how Regulus and Luscius had tried to kidnap her. Regulus must have noticed her growing cold because he drew her closer and he began to kiss her neck. Lily's eyes grew large and she pulled away from him and said, "I'm going to get a drink. You stay out of trouble."

Lily reached into her pocket and squeezed the tube of lipstick and then she was enduring the uncomfortable sensations of being squeezed through a tight tube. Lily gasped as she fell forwards into her living room and she quickly waved her wand and transfigured her clothes into a pair of sweatpants and an oversized shirt.

James followed shortly after and he looked at her and than grabbed her tightly. "What'd he do to you?"

"Nothing he didn't touch me or anything." Lily said not looking James into the eyes.

"Didn't touch you? I saw how closely you two were dancing and then when he started to kiss you Lily!" James said in a frustrated voice.

Lily's eyes narrowed from her lack of sleep and she said in a slightly hysterical voice, "So you were watching us all that time? You didn't manage to gather any information because I sure did! And you know what he said? Him and Luscius tried to kidnap me James. They tried to kidnap me."

James eyes widened suddenly and Lily saw different emotions flitting beneath his now original hazel eyes. He pulled Lily into a tight hug and than he said slowly, "I guess I was just a bit jealous that he was holding you that way. There's another thing that somewhat complicates things Lily."

Lily pulled back from James embrace and she folded her arms together and tapped her foot expectantly looking at him. "D'you really know who Regulus Black is?" James asked her questioningly.

"No except he's quite the pervert when he's drunk." Lily said in an aggravated voice.

"Regulus Black is the brother of Sirius." James said and Lily's eyes widened at the truth.
