The Mole:

" You're back!" Doe cried happily throwing her arms around Remus' neck and pulling him into a tight hug.

He laughed as he held her close to him, " I see someone missed me"

She smiled mischievously and pulled his face down towards her, kissing him passionately.

When they broke apart, he was grinning widely, " If I'm going to be greeted like this, I should leave home more often"

" Bite your tongue" she told him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

She was so happy to have him home. It felt like forever since he was here. It had been a very long week.

" How was it?" she asked, " Tell me everything"

Remus put his bag down on the floor and sat down with her on the couch.

" Okay, well for starters I didn't realize there were packs here in Britain. But there are, the one's I came across were about ten to fifteen werewolves living together"

" Really?" Doe asked.

Remus nodded, " It was the strangest assortment of people. Some of them were like Greyback, they were almost wild. They had completely given in to their werewolf instincts, but some of them were just regular people, like me"

Doe smiled, " See Remus, It doesn't affect who you are"

Remus smiled widely, " Some of them have families too, they're married with children and they make it work"

Doe smiled too. She knew Remus was always so afraid of the effect his lycanthropy would have on children.

" Did you manage to convince any of them?" she asked.

Remus made a face, " The more tame ones, I think. But I know Greyback convinced a lot of them to go with Voldemort. He promised them power, and rights, and victims"

Remus shuddered on the last word.

" Did you see him, Greyback?" she asked biting her lip. She knew Remus hadn't seen him in person since he was bitten at age four.

Remus shook his quickly, " No, thankfully. I just heard a lot of him from the other werewolves"

" I'm glad I went, though" he added quickly, " I learned a lot".

She smiled, " Good, then you don't have to go again"

Remus smiled and looked at her, " How much did you miss me while I was gone?"

She reached forward and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him. She was sitting in his lap, and she felt his hands running up her shirt.

She pushed him down on the couch and kissed him again.

He laughed, " So I'll take that as a lot?" he asked, as she discarded her shirt.

" More than you know, Lupin"

" You know we have an Order meeting tonight" Remus reminded her. She was laying on the couch next to him, wrapped around him.

Doe looked up at him and pouted, " I don't want to go"

Remus laughed and stroked her head, " I've already missed three this week"

" You should be exempt" she told him, " you've been doing work for the Order for the last week"

Remus chuckled, " I don't think it works like that"

" It should" she said crossing her arms.

Remus ran his hands down her back, " Will you go if I promise to make love to you again when we get back?"

Doe grinned widely, " Then yes, I'll go"

Remus shook his head at her and reached up to kiss her.

They both got up and got dressed.

" I like the shirt by the way" Remus commented as she buttoned the shirt I had been wearing.

She grinned. It was his, She had missed him so much that she had worn it with jeans to work today. She had had to roll the sleeves because her arms were too short.

" Do you want it back?" she asked him.

He shook his head and stroked the side of her face, " It looks much better on you"

She smiled at him.

He held me by her hips, " You know tomorrow night is the full moon"

She nodded. She had been trying to forget about it. Remus had just gotten home, and now she would have to worry all over again.

" I was thinking maybe you could stay at Lily's, since James' is coming with me tomorrow, and he doesn't want Lily to be alone either" Remus suggested.

" I can handle being alone" she told Remus.

He shook his head, " Both James and I will be far too worried"

She rolled her eyes at him, " Fine, but only because I miss Lily, not because I can't take care of myself" she told him.

Remus smiled, " I don't care what the motivation is, as long as you're safe"

They both disapparated and ended up on the street of headquarters. The air was warming up a sit was mid spring, but there was still a chilly breeze.

Remus and Doe approached the door and it opened quickly, Arabella Figg answered.

" I don't know why they had me answer the door" she said irritably, " it's not like I can do anything without a wand, 'let's let the squib answer the door'"

" Well let me save you the trouble" she told her, " It's Remus and Doe, not two Death Eaters"

She scrunched her nose, " That's what Death Eaters would say"

She turned to Remus, " Your turn"

Remus smiled at Mrs. Figg, " Mrs. Figg, it's us, I promise"

Arabella opened the door, " Honestly, I'm too tired to even care" she said as she let them in.

Remus and Doe walked over to their usual seats were Lily, James, Sirius, and Peter were clustered.

" Moony!" Sirius said happily.

" You're back" James said happily.

Peter smiled widely, and Lily clapped her hands together and said " Oh, good you're safe and sound"

Remus hugged them all, returning their greetings.

" How was it with the werewolves?" James asked quickly.

" Enlightening" Remus told him and launched into a discussion about it. Telling them everything he had told her earlier.

Doe let her eyes wander around the room. She noticed Severus was there, standing in the corner. His arms were crossed and he was standing alone.

She noticed everyone else was eyeing him warily. Dumbledore and Moody hadn't arrived, so most of the people who trusted Snape, weren't here.

Doe decided against her better judgement, to be nice.

She walked over to where he was and leaned against the wall next to him.

" Hello Severus" she said politely.

" Dorcas" he said.

Doe eyed him angrily, her eyebrow raised.

" Hello, Doe" he corrected himself automatically, shaking his head at her.

" We've come full circle" she told him, remembering him giving her the same reaction when he was at school.

" Yes well, creatures of habit" Severus said bitterly.

" You're in a cheery mood" she pointed out.

He looked at her with an annoyed expression, " How perceptive you are, you should consider being an auror" he said sarcastically.

" Good one, I can hardly breathe from laughing" she said, equally as sarcastic.

" Seriously, what's wrong?" she asked him.

Severus sighed, " I don't particularly like tonight's topic of conversation"

" You know what the meetings about?" she asked.

He nodded glumly. He looked exhausted. She noticed for the first time he looked thinner than she usually saw him, and he had pronounced dark circles. He looked defeated. It reminded her of when Remus came home after the full moon.

It occurred to me then, how much switching sides may have been affecting him.

Severus reached into his robes pocket and pulled out a small flask. He handed it to her.

" What is this?" she asked, unstoppering it and smelling it. It reeked of lace-wing flies. It was obviously a potion.

Severus closed it, putting the stopper back in.

" That" he said, " is a freshly brewn bottle of Wolfsbane Potion"

" What?" she asked him in disbelief.

The Wolfsbane Potion had just recently been discovered. It's aim was to allow bitten individuals to keep their mental state when they phased. It was extremely helpful, but very difficult to brew. Remus was desperate to try it, but Dumbledore was having trouble finding someone who could do it.

" Why?" she asked him.

She was grateful for it, and she knew Remus would be too, but it struck her as odd that Severus would do something so selfless.

" Don't look so thankful" Severus commented on her expression, " I didn't make it for you, I just wanted to see if I could do it, and I obviously don't have any use for it"

Doe pocketed it, " Well thank you, regardless" she told him.

Severus nodded curtly, looking straightforward.

" Was it because Lily was attacked?" she asked him.

Severus turned to face her quickly, his eyes livid.

" Why you switched sides" she told him.

He stared at her his face changing to reflect different emotions.

" I won't say anything" she told him quickly, " It's not for me to repeat"

Severus stared at her utterly blank faced, and she knew she was right. She had always known how much Severus cared for Lily. It was the kind of thing that didn't go away.

" I believe you by the way" she told him starting to walk away, " looks like you've got your Gryffindor ally back"

Severus didn't say anything. He just stared at her and then blinked quickly and turned back to facing forward.

Doe walked back over to Remus and wrapped her arms around him.

" Why were you talking to Snape?" he asked.

She shook her head, " That is a long story, I'll tell you later. Besides I have good news"

He looked mildly confused, " What kind of news?"

She took the flask out of pocket and handed it to him, " You now have the Wolfsbane potion to try for tomorrow night"

Remus' eyes widened as he realized what he was holding.

" Where did you get this?" he asked in disbelief.

" Don't worry about it, just enjoy it" she told him.

A wide smile broke out onto his face and he pulled her into a hug.

Doe didn't want to tell Remus that it was from Severus, in the fear that it would make him wary of it or not want to take it at all. It was too important to him.

Doe was just glad he would get to have it.

Dumbledore entered the house with Moody at his heels. They both sat down and so did everyone else.

Doe couldn't help but notice that he looked very solemn.

" I have two very important things to tell you this evening" Dumbledore said quietly, " and it pains me to say this, but neither are good"

The room got very quiet.

" The first, " Dumbledore said, " Is that our fellow Order member Caradoc Dearborn has gone missing"

Something inside of Doe's stomach clenched. How could Caradoc be missing.

Doe felt the familiar twinge of loss wash over her. They had already lost so many people.

Gideon. Fabian. Benjy. Landon. Marlene.

She didn't think she could handle anymore.

" We will be arranging search parties to try and locate him, but it is unlikely that we will find him. There was a Dark Mark above his home yesterday evening" Dumbledore said quietly. It looked like he was having difficulty saying it.

Across the table, Emmeline Vance looked quite pale.

" My second bit of news" Dumbledore said, " Is also sinister in nature. It seems that from the copious amount of information that has been leaked, that we appear to have mole in the Order of the Phoenix"

There were several gasps around the room.

" A mole?" Lily asked desperately, her hand flew to her stomach protectively.

She looked over to Alice Longbottom who also had the same strained look on her face.

Both Frank and James attempted to calm their wives.

" Well who is it?" Molly Weasley asked Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sighed, " For the time being we do not know"

Emmeline Vance screwed up her face, " Well it's obvious isn't it? It's Snape"

Severus sighed and rolled his eyes from beside Dumbledore.

" The information was leaked before Severus joined the Order" Dumbledore said calmly.

" But he's a Death Eater" Emmeline cried frantically.

" Have we not discussed my allegiance at length?" Severus said with an eye roll, " I would have to be stupid to doublecross now"

Emmeline stared at him pointedly, crossing her arms.

" Its gotta be Sirius then!" Mundungus said from the other side of the table, " his brother was a Death Eater"

Sirius rolled his eyes, " I am not the mole"

" Prove it then!" Mundungus fired at him from across the table.

" Sirius, is not a Death Eater" Doe snapped at Mundungus angrily, " And he is not the mole"

" Well then it's you!" Mundungus fired at her, " What are you giving You-Know-Who secrets from inside the auror office"

" Meadowes is not the mole, Dung" Moody said angrily and catching her eye with his magical one.

Doe nodded at him, silently thanking him.

" Well it's Lupin then" Mundungus roared, " or Potter! Pettigrew! or Flitwick"

" Enough" Dumbledore said loudly, " fighting amongst ourselves will not solve the problem at hand, I do not wish for you all to accuse one another, I simply thought it my duty to tell all of you, so that you can be aware."

The room was dead silent. Doe couldn't believe there was a mole. She thought about it. Who among them would want to betray them. Severus was right, he wouldn't risk crossing twice. Come to think of it, Mundungus was a little curious, but he wasn't smart enough to pull it off.

Maybe it's Peter, she thought for a moment. She hadn't seen much of him lately.

She shook her head. She was getting paranoid now. Peter was their friend. It had to be someone else.

" I am afraid that that was all I had to tell you tonight" Dumbledore said getting up from the table.

Everyone else did too.

" A mole?" James said to them, " who could it be?"

Doe shrugged, " I don't know"

" Who could pull that off?" Sirius asked in disbelief.

" They'd have to be smart" Remus said.

" and very Powerful" Peter agreed quietly.

" Well there the worst kind of person" Lily snapped, " there is nothing worse than a traitor"

It was quiet for a moment while they all pondered Lily's words.

" I'm sure Dumbledore will figure out who it is" Remus said logically.

Jame and Sirius nodded in agreement.

" Lily" Doe said turning to her, remembering Remus and I's earlier conversation, "Since James and Remus are going to be busy with the full moon tomorrow, do you want to spend the night together?" Doe asked her.

Lily smiled brightly, " Oh yes! Definitely! We can have a sleepover like old times and we can eat ice cream and you can help to decorate the nursery"

" That sounds perfect" Doe told her. After the week she had had, nothing sounded more relaxing than that.

" Good," James said happily, " Now I won't have to worry"

Lily smiled at him and took his hand.

" I'm coming with you two" Sirius told James and Remus.

" I will, too" Peter said quickly.

Remus smiled at his best friends, " Thank you guys"

Doe smiled too, lucky that they all had such good friends.

Remus wrapped an arm around her and leaned in so he could whisper in her ear.

" I think I have a promise to fulfill" he whispered, " in exchange for you getting you here"

She grinned widely when she realized what he meant, and took his hand disapparating back to their apartment quickly.

" So do we like Doxy egg blue or Gryffindor scarlet?" Lily asked Doe holding up two magical paint swatches.

It was early the night of the full moon and they were sitting in the soon to be nursery with bowls of ice cream.

" I say Doxy Egg Blue" Doe told her, " as much as I love my house pride, you don't want to the kid to feel like he has to be in Gryffindor" she told her.

" As if he'd be in any other house" Lily said proudly holding her stomach, " with two Gryffindors for parents"

" Sirius" she said through a cough. Reminding her that not all children turned out in the same house as their parents.

" That's different though" Lily pointed out, " plus I'm surprised you feel that way. You love Gryffindor. Xeno Lovegood and all the Ravenclaws used to call you Gryffindoe"

" I remember" she told her , " I'm just saying, that adorable little baby could turn out to be intelligent enough to be a Ravenclaw or hardworking enough to be a Hufflepuff"

" And if he's cunning enough to be a Slytherin?" Lily asked.

Doe wrinkled her nose mockingly, " Give him up for adoption" she joked.

Lily and her both laughed lightly,

" He's going to love his Aunt Doe" she said stroking her stomach.

" Aunt Doe" she said proudly, " I like that"

" He's going to need your sense," Lily pointed out, " With three Marauders for uncles"

Doe laughed, thinking that there was no way this baby was going to get away without inheriting a little taste for trouble.

" A mini marauder in the making" she told her, tickling her stomach.

Lily laughed, " Im sure McGonagall will love to hear that"

" Filch will be thrilled" she told her with a smile.

" Oh god, I hope he won't be there still when my baby goes to Hogwarts" she said shuddering.

" I'm sure he will be, him and his blasted cat" Doe said bitterly, " I'm going to have this kid give Mrs. Norris a good kick from Aunt Doe"

" Let's not secure him a detention before he's born" Lily said with a smile.

" You're no fun" Doe said with a smile.

She leaned back onto the small squishy mat on the floor.

" DORCAS MEADOWES" Lily roared at her, " Is that a hickey on your neck"

Doe sat up instantly and let her hand run to her neck, where sure enough there was a hickey. She smiled to myself, she hadn't even noticed it this morning.

Doe grinned at Lily, " Maybe"

She shook her head, " That wasn't there last night" she pointed out with a wide grin.

She rolled her eyes at her, a smile playing on her lips.

" You caught me Lils, me and Remus shagged" she said sarcastically.

" How shocking" Lily said in false surprise.

" To be fair," she pointed out, " I hadn't seen him in a week"

Lily laughed, " Doe you're talking to the friend who is pregnant" she said gesturing to her stomach.

Doe was about to make a witty comment when she heard a crash downstairs.

Lily and Doe both looked up quickly.

" Did you hear that?" Lily asked me quietly. Her eyes wide with fear.

Doe nodded and put her fingers to her lips. She took out her wand and got to her feet. Lily took hers out too and tried to get up.

Doe stopped her, "Lily no. Stay here"

" You're not going alone" Lily said firmly.

" Yes I am" she told her, " you're pregnant first of all, and second of all you're already on You-Know-Who's radar, so stay here" she ordered her.

She crept out of the room slowly and closed the door behind her. She held her wand out in front of her and crept closer to the stairs.

" ….. it looks empty Crouch, I don't think they're home" a voice said quietly.

" It's a Saturday night, where would they be Mcnair? Honestly, go and check upstairs" another hissed.

Doe panicked. Crouch. McNair. They were both on the suspected Death Eater's list.

She ducked behind one of Lily's poufs she had sitting on the landing. This way she had a clear shot at whoever came up the stairs.

It was McNair. He was a massive man. Doe didn't remember him being that big at school. She waited until he was at the landing and then cast a silent body bind jinx. McNair instantly crashed to the floor, causing a loud bang. Doe stepped over his body and crept down the stairs.

" McNair, what was that?" Barty Crouch Jr. asked coming into view.

As soon as he saw her, he begun to shoot killing curses. Doe dodged all of them, shooting stunning spells back at him.

One came so close to him. He panicked and disapparated.

Doe darted back upstairs to where McNair's body laid frozen.

" Expecto Patronus" she said conjuring her patronus.

" Go find Moody" Doe said and watched it disappear.

She pointed her wand at McNair's body and raised her wand again " Wingardium Leviosa"

She levitated his body downstairs and left it near the front of the door.

" Lily, it's alright, come down" she called to her.

Lily walked downstairs timidly. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw McNair jinxed on the floor.

" Where there Death Eaters here?" she asked.

Doe nodded.

" Do you have enchantments placed on the house?" she asked her.

Lily shook her head slightly embarrassed, " I meant too, it just slipped my mind"

She took out her wand and began casting them. When she was done, She heard a knock at the door.

Lily looked frightened.

" It's just Moody" she told her as she opened it.

When she did, Moody's large form shoved his way through the doorframe and stopped at the Death Eater on the floor.

" What happened?" Moody asked.

She told him everything. He listened to the entire story and nodded here and there. When she had finished he lifted his wand and levitated McNair's body out of the house.

" That's the second Death Eater you've caught now, Meadowes" Moody said, his eyebrow raised, " I'm impressed".

It was all luck. Right place and right time. But somehow telling Moody that seemed like a bad idea.

" That's my job" she reminded him.

Moody smiled and nodded, leading the Death Eater out the house.

" Maybe we shouldn't tell James what happened" Lily said biting her nails.

Doe nodded, " Maybe"
