I know! It took me a million gazillion years but I finally updated. Thanks to my reviewers and all who read this.

BLOOPER: In the first chapter Lily refers to Rick as Ruben...Ruben and Rick are the same person. I will continue calling him Rick ( he is 13 years old and the triplet of Annie and Erin).

Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter...do own his sister Emily :D


Lily felt like crying while she waited anxiously in what appeared to be the Minister of Magic's office. What the hell just happened? It had taken her weeks to decide whether or not to risk exposure to save Jason from Azkaban. She knew her life would immediately change the moment she revealed that she and her daughters were still alive. She'd gone over what to say when she had to explain what had happened that night and she knew she would most likely be facing the wrath of Remus and Sam (not Sirius since he was supposed to be with James when he'd died…or when she thought he'd died). She had not, however, expected this.

James was there…or someone who looked exactly like him. Polyjuice Potion seemed like an unlikely possibility since no one knew she'd be arriving that day. Still, it couldn't possibly be James. She knew it wasn't James that there was no chance that it could be him except that…it was. She'd known it the moment their eyes met. She'd looked into his eyes for those few seconds and immediately she spotted him. It was the same intense blue eyes of the men she'd fallen in love with and married, she'd even spotted the silver flecks that used to appear around his iris when he was happy or scared or…passionate. Lily was scolding herself for blushing at a memory when the door banged open and the pissed off figure of Albus Dumbledore walked in. Lily had seen him in this state many times before, in battle back when she belonged in the Order of the Phoenix, but never had she felt this resounding wave of anger and raw power directed at her. It was all she could do not to break down and cry. Sirius walked in looking confused and upset.

"We are here to find out the truth and verify if you are or are not in fact, Lily Potter." Dumbledore's voice resounded around the room as Sirius quietly closed the door behind them.


James stared at Sirius as his best friend cried and told him and Remus the news. According to him and Dumbledore, the woman was indeed Lily. James couldn't believe it and yet he could. One look at her eyes, identical to Harry and Darren and Daniel's told him the thruth. It had been his wife in that courtroom, she was alive. He stared quietly at Dumbledore as he retold the story Lily had told him, explaining to them what had happened that fateful Halloween night so many years ago and what Lily had done since then. Doubt left him as heard Dumbledore speak. They're alive, James eyes filled with tears as he thought of his daughters and for the first time in eleven years, the tears that fell, were happy tears. He need to see them, he decided, he would speak to Lily then.


It had taken a while to convince Lily to take him back home with her. The Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore had decided to send an auror back with her for protection while she went and fetched the girls so why not him? James clenched his hand in nervousness. He pushed back his first class airplane seat, still slightly queasy about the idea of flying without magic inside a giant metal plane and turned to Lily for the umpteenth time,"Do you think they'll like me?"

Lily, who had been trying to sleep grunted and turned to James to give him a kiss on the cheek. The moment they'd confirmed they were truly each other, they had wasted no time and embraced passionately deciding to pick up were they had left off. Lily had seen Adam and Charlie but not the rest of her sons. She wanted to cry when she saw them. They were so big and strong, her little boys had turned to men and she had missed it. Still, when they saw her they'd both hugged her with no awkwardness and bawled like children. Adam couldn't speak between gasp and Charlie kept saying "Mum, mum, mum" in between tears.

"My boys" was all Lily had cried as she hugged them, never wanting to let go.

She'd wanted to see the rest of her sons, especially when she found out Harry had been alive when she'd left him but the stories of her returned had spread faster than Fiend Fyre and she was afraid her daughter's, who were alone with three oblivious muggles, were at risk. So they wouldn't be tracked, she and James had decided to travel there the muggle way instead of by apparating or portkey. Now while Lily had her first opportunity of sleep in two days, James wouldn't stop talking.

"Yes James, they'll love you I'm sure." She repeated once again.

"They know I'm coming right? They know I'm alive? What did they say when you told them?" he rambled.

"I spoke to Jane and Jessica. They're surprised but happy of course. They told their sisters I believe but I don't know what their reaction was. Now James, can you please let me sleep?"

James gave her the loving smile she had missed so much and nodded. She curled back down under her blanket when she felt James hands sneak under it. He rubbed her thigh and whispered in her ear "Wasn't airplane bathroom sex on your list of fantasies?"

Lily immediately got wet and looked up at James. "It was" she mumbled against his warm lips. She felt his hands move up and she quickly stood up and headed to the

bathroom. James waited a several seconds and then followed.
