Chapter 4: The Dark Lord is not dead
The gasp that left Lily was necessary. Dumbledore had finished the story. He had explained how he asked if he could have the memory and was going to show it to the potters and then the Ministry. Lily however didn't need it to know that Dumbledore was telling the truth.
Henry Milligan was in her year and they were in the same study group. He loved potions as did Lily and was a very honest and at times brutal boy. He was one for his work and was a no nonsense smart boy and Lily had a great relationship with him.
Henry like her was muggle born and didn't live far and with their love of studying so she would go round his house as well as the rest of their study group and it would be vice versa for the rest of them. They all loved Henry's mum because she would really step up the name for muggles everywhere. She had a lovely comfy home and was really sweet and would make the best food especially peach cobbler it was delicious. They would also see little henry's brother David who was fascinated by the children and when they weren't studying with him they would tell him stories.
So Lily knew David well enough to know he wouldn't lie.
James was trying to process this news as well. Imara flaunt and Ep flaunt from what Dumbledore had showed and told them, was under the imperius curse. Apparentlythere was another player in the war against the potters but from the information Dumbledore had received they didn't exactly seem to be on team Voldermort, well at least that's how it looks. It didn't seem like voldermort knew about this player as they were using one of his spies that the order didn't know about to get to the potters.
James was at a loss. He was confused as to who else was after his son that they would help Voldermort but without telling him. He wanted to talk to his three best friends about it. He knew Sirius would come up with some vivid and mad reason for whom and why this person was doing this. He knew Remus would give a more logical explanation and Peter would just tell him to just runaway. Although James probably wouldn't get the answers he required he knew talking them would help clear his mind at least of minor stress. But Dumbledore had told them not to tell anyone this piece of critical information what so ever.
Dumbledore suggested to Lily and James to come up with a list of enemies they could possibly have that could potentially be hiding from Voldermort. Both Lily and James found that the list came up short. They had no clue who would be against Harry or them but would help Voldermort without him knowing. Then there was the fact that there was a spy apparently in the order.
They had deducted this because the only people that knew about the order were ministry Aurors that were in it themselves. Someone had to have the inside information and get close to Ep and Imara to be able to get to the potters but the question was who. The first three names that popped up were Sirius, Remus and Peter. They had to as James told them about being with Ep but could one of them have possibly put the imperius curse on Ep and Imara and be working with 'Ian'. 'No just no. They've been my best friends since we were 11 years old they wouldn't do that to me' James thought to himself. He was frustrated now he pinched the bridge of his nose and dragged a hand through his hair.
He wouldn't believe that Sirius, Remus or Peter were the culprits, they weren't capable of it. Sirius came from the black family. A family of pureblood fascists and still chose the light. Remus was werewolf. Creatures that supposedly Voldemort had been recruiting and society fought against his kind in general and still chose the light. Peter... Peter was... what was peter? Well he was ordinary he have no reason to be a spy. He like other chose to fight for the light. Why would any of them choose to help Voldemort? They like James chose to become part of the order to fight against him.
No it had to be someone else in the order but whom. He didn't know everyone on a personal level but who could hate them. Was that even the reason it seemed plausible but there could be another motive entirely.
This was so frustrating. Who was after them? Who was trying to get Harry Killed?
Lily potter was not having any better time than James she was normally a witch on the war path if someone wronged her. But now she had to be reserved to worried mother.
She had no idea who 'Ian' was and who could be the spy in the order. Dumbledore could probably do a better job at finding the spy but 'Ian' was another story. Dumbledore had highly doubted that Ian was the real culprits name and used it as a rouse. But who was he and why was he doing this.
Dumbledore a week after he had told the potters had met up secretly with the minister of magic. He had showed him what he had shown the potters and made an agreement to keep Imara's release a secret she, David, Ep who had been told and his family were moved to a secret location that only Dumbledore knew about. The rest the order had no clue nor did the ministry or the world for that matter that Imara was free or innocent.
Dumbledore had decided that whoever the spy was that he couldn't scare him or her off as he was the link to 'Ian' he didn't like it but if this person was helping Voldemort and he didn't even know it then they were powerful. This other player wasn't a friend and was definitely a foe to the potters but if he could keep his identity safe from Voldemort how could they be a supporter. was there a bigger picture it was so hard to understand. But Dumbledore would not let them whoever they were be the next dark lord or get to the potters. He would find out who this person was even if it took him years and they would win this war. That Albus Dumbledore was certain of.

July had approached. Lily and James had been back in Godric hollows for several months. It been cleared of any spies finally. Distractions had been made were Ministry Aurors disguised as the potters hiding but not enough to be seen by spies and death eaters. The Aurors were confident that these distractions would work and they would catch death eaters that came for them and eventually Voldemort.
Although she thought of the Ministry as arrogant at the best of times she was grateful for their help. They had been pretending to be her and James hiding underground, hiding abroad, hiding in make believe villages etc. Lily was surprised that their plan was actually working. They had caught some deadly death eaters. The plan was allowing them to live back in Godric hollow in plain sight.
Lily for the last couple of hours had been thinking for last couple of hours about Voldemort. She knew why. Harry was going to be 1 years old this month. She couldn't believe they had made it to a year. It was a shame the Long bottoms hadn't. Lily knew they weren't dead but they might as well been. They were incapable of functioning in society and were deemed insane spending the rest of their live in St Mungos. Little Neville had been given to his grandmother.
Lily couldn't help but think about everything that had happened in the past year. She thought about the two encounters her and James had. She thought about the first one the most. Not that the other one wasn't terrifying.
The second encounter was the worse as Harry had been close to being killed the only problem was, Lily couldn't remember how it had happened. From what she could remember she was sure she had died. But found that she had woken up. She found that Harry had a scar on his head that James was by her side alive. She couldn't even really remember the encounter that was weird.
Dumbledore told them that what he knew of the experience. He explained that they weren't in Godric Hollows at the time they were by a lake a mile away from the village .He told them how he felt them leave the protection of the wards place on the house He found Lily on the floor passed out and Harry sitting up a few feet away from her, crying with a cut on his head.
James was unconscious too but he seemed to be in the water and there was another body. It appeared to be the body of Tom riddle or better Known as Voldemort but his body was almost completely destroyed Dumbledore could tell it was him from the energy even after death.
He couldn't believe it, Voldemort was dead.
But something wasn't right about the entire situation. No one could put a spell on James or Lily without being blood or being inside the house and no one knew that James and lily were back in Godric's hollow not even their closest friends. Dumbledore would detect someone going passed the wards.
Lily only had one sister who was a Muggle and James had no siblings so what was going on.
Why was Voldemort dead on the floor? Why weren't the potters dead for that matter with no protection what so ever? How was harry alive with only a visible cut to the head? Who killed him? Was it Harry? Could it possibly be? Dumbledore would have asked more questions to himself but all of a sudden out of nowhere a ball of flashing light appeared in front of Dumbledore. He had his wand at the ready and stood still waiting for the light to react. The light sizzled for a moment before almost exploding. Reacting on instinct Dumbledore put up a full body shield and when he turned his head back to the light in bright flaming words it said:
'The Dark Lord is not dead, but that will change all in good time. You're sincerely Ian.'
Dumbledore was shocked to say the least. Ian had known about the potter's whereabouts and was now telling Dumbledore that he wanted to kill Voldemort and that he wasn't dead.
Lily and James didn't know what to say. The Ian character was becoming more confusing. He wanted to kill Voldemort but he seemed he wanted Harry to die too. It made sense why Voldemort didn't know about Ian he was an enemy to him that was keeping himself in the dark, but what for. His motive wasn't any clearer than the last incident.
Dumbledore had made them floo over to the order and got St Mungo's Healer to come check them over. She determined that Lily, James and Harry had been obliviated meaning Dumbledore wouldn't be able to see what happened. He realised just how dangerous and clever Ian really was if the man could obliviated a child's memory not hat he doubted just how clever or dangerous he was from the beginning.
She could sense some sort of spell on Lily and James but it wasn't clear. It was almost as if the spell had been cast on them but not on their bodies or someone else entirely but it affected them. Healer jones couldn't make out what the spell was as it was very faint. Otherwise she couldn't see any other spells that were put on them which meant that Lily and James would have hafted to of walked out of Godric hollows willingly. That didn't make any sense Lily and James would never put Harry into danger willingly unless they didn't know they were.
She checked Harry and was astonished to find that Harry had been hit with the killing curse but was still alive. Dumbledore couldn't believe his ears the cut on Harry's forehead was from the killing curse but he was alive how could that be. Dumbledore knew the prophecy word for word and he believed it to. This would be the second time Lily and James defied Voldemort even though he wasn't sure how but it had something to do with 'Ian'. And it meant that Voldemort had marked Harry as his equal and died from it. But Ian had told him that he was not dead. Dumbledore who could see Ian, who was proving to be an enemy of Voldemort, couldn't actually give a reason as to why he would lie about Voldemort being dead.
If there was one thing that Dumbledore did know about Tom Riddle it was he was afraid of death. He couldn't understand that death was just another part of life. So if he decided to believe Ian, how could Voldemort be alive with a destroyed body? His body could be dead but his soul didn't haft to pass on. 'No he couldn't have, could he? It was dark magic beyond most wizards but then again this was Tom a wizard who had pushed the boundaries of dark magic in his coming years.' He thought to himself.
Was it possible that Voldemort had made a horcux? He knew would haft to find out as well as some other questions too like what had happened James and Lily. How Harry had survived and what did Ian have to do with it all.
Dumbledore needed to know what going on. As far as he knew no one except for Ian himself and the Potters knew about Voldemort's body. He wondered if the spy in the order knew. Ian was clever he hadn't used his contact on the side of the light to do his bidding as far as he was aware he didn't really need them. He knew where Lily and James were already and had somehow got the dark lord there to kill him or maybe to get Harry to kill him. Was that possible? Did Ian Know about the prophecy?
Dumbledore promised to himself he would find out one day.
Dumbledore knew he couldn't hide this information from the public. As soon as Healer Jones was done and had checked that they all seem to be healthy.
Dumbledore asked them to retreat to one of the spare rooms upstairs. He wasn't sure if he should send the potters home just yet ,the threat of Ian was still out there and didn't seem to be bothered in harming three innocent lives to kill Voldemort. Not to mention he still wasn't sure if was if he was a friend just because they had the same goal. The saying went the Enemy of my Enemy is my friend but Dumbledore never chose to believe it, in his mind it made them a more dangerous enemy.
Dumbledore left the order and went straight to the Ministry where he told the ministry of Voldemort's demise. The ministry came to the conclusion that Harry Potter was a hero. The news spread like wildfire. The next day the wizarding world was in celebration and for next couple of months too while the ministry were hunting down death eaters like there was no tomorrow. Wizards were declaring may 2nd 1981 the day of light.
The next day Dumbledore held a meeting with the order. They all had questions that Dumbledore didn't have the answers to. Dumbledore decided to tell the order about Imara and Ep and the stranger known as Ian and the second encounter with Voldemort and Ian.
He decided to withhold the information about the spy. It was one of them and if they knew he was on to them they would take measures to make sure they weren't caught out. He also told them about the message Ian sent that there was a possibility Voldemort wasn't dead and that they were to tell no one and was to keep on the lookout as The threat of Ian was real so his statement could be too.
Dumbledore knew Ian would show himself again because there was a vengeance in his actions. He was a man looking for revenge and men on the war path would never settle for anything less.
