Chapter 3: You know what spell

Lily Potter shuddered at the memory. She remembered how James had taken a week to recover from the attack. She had been so worried that she was making Harry upset every time she would hold him. Not that Harry couldn't tell that something was wrong. It was like a bad smell in the air. He could sense his mother's depression and his father's absence and Harry didn't like it.

Lily reminisced how after James was recovered, Epidos flaunt approached them both giving his deepest apologies.

"Lily, James, I am so sorry for what my sister did to you. If I had known I would have never suggested..." Ep was cut off by Lily hugging him. James just smiled. Ep was shocked to say the least.

"Don't you dare apologise". Lily said in a strong voice.

Sirius, Remus and Peter would come to check on James everyday and filled Lily and James in about what had happened with Imara flaunt.

"It's not your fault, how could you have known?" She said in a gentle voice.

"Yeah we don't blame you for anything mate". James said in a croaky but kind voice with a reassuring smile. He was still taking it slow as he had only just recovered and been ordered to take a lot of bed rest.

"And besides a month of hiding in plain sight is better than going underground with a new born baby and you know we couldn't go to back Godric's hollow well not until we can clear away the threat of spies. So you did us a favour Harry's first month of living was at comfortable in a happy home" James finished coming forward and patting Ep on the shoulder.

"How are you holding up Ep?" Lily asked with a very gentle tone.

"I just can't believe I didn't see it, I mean she was my sister how could I not see the evil?" Ep said with his head hung low he was clearly ashamed and was close to tears.

James face contorted with a strange look on his face before masking it with a sympathetic look one.

Lily could only half imagine what he was going through. Lily had a great relationship with her sister too until she found out she was a witch and from there it only went downhill to the point where they would only speak once a year to wish each other merry Christmas.

Lily couldn't imagine if petunia would betray her for the darkest wizard of all time. The very thought made her sick.

Lily remembered how Imara was taken to trial and was given a life sentence in Azkaban was taken out the room by dementors.

Lily knew she was off point in her thinking.

They had just had a second encounter with Voldemort.

But it wasn't the fact that they had, had another encounter that was bugging her, it was the how.

After the first encounter they realised that Voldemort would anticipate them staying with other people as they were avoiding Godric's hollow and although Voldemort didn't know the exact cottage they lived in it wouldn't take that long to find out.

If Imara could tell Voldemort couldn't other spies?. Imara had been named as the spy who told Voldemort where the potter's was on trial and it was published in the daily prophet the next day but there wasn't a why. It just said you know who after the potters and that Imara flaunt was apparently a spy that had divulged their whereabouts and her trial but that was about it.

However Dumbledore had other ideas.

A week after the incident with Voldemort and Imara Dumbledore had his own private meeting with the potter's and told them his theory.

"James, Lily thank you for seeing me, I know things must be difficult for you both right now but I assure I won't take up to much of your time" he said without the twinkle shining in his midnight blue eyes.

"Of course Dumbledore, anytime". James said in a tired voice.

"I would like both of you to know that where it concerns Imara flaunt, I don't think she is the one who betrayed you." He said firm but calm.

This statement removed any tiredness that was in James as he was now fully alert to conversation. Lily who was listening to Dumbledore gave a sharp look towards him, she had told Ep not to apologise on his sister's behalf and even felt sorry for her as she was quite young to be going to Azkaban but she had led Voldemort to her brother's door and Harry, how could she not have some animosity towards the witch?.

"You don't think that it was Imara who betrayed us?" James had repeated these words very slowly, one by one allowing them to sink in to his brain.

"That would be correct James "Dumbledore said in a voice that sounded like he was about to offer a lemon drop to the student that had got the answer correct.

"And you think this why?" Lily asked with maybe a little more attitude then intended.

"Epidos flaunt never told his sister that you would be staying with him and she was too engrossed in the muggle world to all of a sudden be a death eater" Dumbledore said in his usual calm voice.

"Dumbledore I would never be one to doubt you or your judgement but she confessed" James said before Lily said something. If there was one thing he knew about his wife it was the fact that she had a temper that could shake the heavens.

"Ah yes, that she did but when I first came up with these theories in my head, I just knew I had to investigate a little further into the matter". He stated and involuntary Lily drew herself forward, curiosity getting the better of her.

"And what did you find?" James asked nervously. He knew why he was nervous but that couldn't be what Dumbledore had found out. The only other people to know that the potters were staying with the flaunts was James's three best friends. He had vouched that they wouldn't tell a soul.

There was no way James had involuntarily put his son in danger for telling three people who he trusted with his life where he was. 'No not possible, they wouldn't betray us'. James thought. He was certain that Dumbledore wouldn't mention the names Sirius Black , Remus Lupin or Peter Pettigrew

Dumbledore began to tell the potters a story of how he travelled to the muggle world only a few days ago to meet the man who Imara had fallen in love with. He told them how he had not known the entire time what had happened to Imara and was completely shocked to learn the information that Imara was supposedly a death eater.

David Milligan, brother to Henry Milligan who attended Hogwarts, had a good idea of what was happening in the wizarding world. Although his brother was a wizard and he was not that didn't stop him loving his brother once.

Dumbledore explained to them what David had said in response to Dumbledore's claims

"are you sure you have the right woman, Henry always told me that people could use spells and potions to fool others or pretend to be others and stuff and I know you're going through a war right now wouldn't stuff like that be the perfect time to do that" he said with desperate look on his face.

"Mr Milligan as much as I would love to tell you it was another witch in disguise, I'm afraid I cannot. Imara confessed to her crimes and is now in Azkaban." He said in grave voice.

For a few moments David just sat there in pure silence his emotion betraying his face. He put his face in his hands and started to think about Imara in the place that Henry had described through word of mouth, scarier than hell.

David remembered when he was telling his brother and parents about the place and how people said they would rather be tortured to death by a wizard than go to Azkaban prison.

It was a scary thought.

And now the woman he loved was there for crimes she had supposedly committed only three days ago. Could it be that Imara was a bad witch? 'No not my Imara she is too sweet and kind' he thought.

He remembered how she was being weird for the past two months. She was rather distant but he didn't think that much of it and when he did ask she would answer "oh you know family stuff that's all nothing important". He would never push for answer out her as he knew if she got annoyed she could perform magic and if she wanted to talk about it she would come to him in her own time.

But David knew something was off. She had a good relationship with her family and if something was wrong Ep would in no time reach down to London on their door and find out what the problem was.

He tried to think what else could be the problem and then it hit him. It had to have been him otherwise he would haft to accept that his girlfriend was evil and he wasn't about to. He raised his head to see that Dumbledore was still there watching him.

"Mr Dumbledore is it possible that Imara is under a spell that would force her to do that stuff that she supposedly did?" He said with a fast beating heart if Dumbledore shot him down then he would probably never see Imara again and if he did she would be in a prison cell.

Dumbledore looked at the muggle man for a moment analysing him. His question intrigued Dumbledore not because he asked it but because the way he had asked it. His tone suggested that he had an idea forming in his mind.

"Yes it is possible, we have spells in the wizarding world that can do that however it is illegal and due to the fact that Imara confessed; if it were the case that she was under a spell it would not be investigated unless there was proof to suggest it". Dumbledore said after a moment of thought. He then paused then said "why do you ask?"

"well it's just, Imara is good person and what your telling me is that she was caught and prosecuted for crimes that she committed only three days ago and I know I don't know how the wizard law works much but it just seems to perfect". He said not really sure where he was going with his reasoning as his knowledge of magical proceedings was limited but he continued

"Imara if you say she confessed to being a death eater that would mean she would haft to have some strong loyalty to well you know…." He said trailing off he didn't like the idea of you know who one bit but still kept going.

"And I don't care how many wizards would say she tricked them I know if Imara had decide to become a death then it was recent and wasn't by choice." He said in a strong firm voice.

"When Imara does talk to me about the war, she is scared and you can't fake that. She is always going on about how she is scared for Ep and how he is trying to fight 'Him' off when he should be spending the most of his time with his family. So to bring a really dark wizard to her brother's home where his family could have been hurt just to kill a baby, no way". He said certain of what he was saying now.

"She's being framed and I think I know who or at least I saw who". He said almost nervously Dumbledore had not spoken a word since David had started his rant and had kept a straight face too.

But now his face had broken out into a sly smile before stating "you say she's being framed and might have a way to prove it". He said simply

"I hope I can prove it at least" David stated relieved that Dumbledore didn't think of him as some crazy muggle.

"Then tell me how you think Imara is being framed" Impressed with this muggle's type of thinking. He was not surprised as his brother was from Ravenclaw and Henry had introduced him to a Hufflepuff so smart he was bound to be and loyalty without a doubt would rub off on him.

"Well it was about two months ago that I noticed something was wrong with Imara, she was distant and said it was down to family issues and I didn't push". He hung his head low ashamed he didn't try to help his girlfriend more.

"Do not feel bad for a common mistake, now if you'll continue please". Dumbledore said in a gentle voice but it was laced with authority.

"Well we had gone to visit Ep on May 15th it's why I remember what happened. The night before me and Imara had just come back from a date and got home. We were going to watch some TV before going bed but a knock on the door interrupted us." He said looking lost in thought. But continued

"I had answered the door and saw this figure standing in a dark cloak, they had their head down and hood up so I couldn't see his face. I realised he must be a wizard as seen enough of my brother's to recognise the robes as wizard." He looked up at Dumbledore and looked at the robes he was wearing. Dumbledore had made no effort to hide his wizarding robes in deciding to come here. 'Definitely was a wizard' He thought.

"Any who I had asked if I could help them and then he spoke in a deep voice and said Is Imara her I need her help. I was a little shocked but answered who's asking. He said to me please she's the only witch I know for miles in the muggle world and I can't stay long please. He seemed really frightened so I let him in and called out to Imara and when she came out she recognised him called him Ian and took him to our bedroom. I was lost completely." He said trying to remember the story

"I called out to Imara asking what was going and was about to go in the room but she opened the door and stopped me. She said Ian is my friend and is in a bit of trouble I'm going to help him it should take no less than 10 minutes ok sweet heart please just wait for me out here. I wanted to protest but I agreed and waited but I couldn't help myself after a couple of minutes I snuck to the door and was trying to listen to what was being said". He said and his face began to screw up.

"Afterwards leave and return home. Now as for your brother, use the you know what spell so he tells them to stay with him then give it about a month before he goes to him. Tell him to stay out of the way and it will go successful. If he asks why you're helping him tell him it's from me. I would of heard more but the doorbell rang again I was about to answer it but 'Ian' said it's for him, thank you and left. Imara then came out the room and she looked strange but said she was fine and that I wasn't to worry about it that she had helped already and we could drop it" He stated sadly.

"I mean that night was weird but I just assumed it was a normal as it wasn't the first time a wizard came in talking about weird magical happenings. I didn't think he had done something to her I assumed she was doing it to help him and Ep was in on it as we went to see him the next day and he and Imara seemed fine. Imara was a little quiet but was fine". He looked at Dumbledore again and said "can this mean something"

"Yes, it means that someone planned for Epidos flaunt to have potters and Imara flaunt to be framed. It also means they are helping the real spy to help Voldemort"
