Lily Black

Chapter 76: I Will Do It

When I woke in the morning George was still sleeping on the floor. I snuck out to try to find Lupin. I found him in the kitchen talking to other order members.

"Does the offer still stand?" I asked.

"Pardon?" Kingsley said.

"The offer you made me last christmas. Spy on my slytherin friends. I will do it now." I said.

"What changed?" Lupin asked.

"Times have changed. You need me." I said plainly.

"She is right, we do need her." Lupin said. "These kids could know something about the dark lord through their parents."

"Alright. If you do this that means you will be undercover for the order of the phoenix. Very dangerous, expectantly at Hogwarts where Snape is now headmaster. You could be in great danger doing this. We don't know if Snape is still on our side or not. " Mr. Weasley said.

"I am very aware. I know the full risks of what I am doing." I said.

"Well then, I guess you're a member of the order of the phoenix." Lupin said. I felt a small smile pull at my lips but it faded fast.

"How will I get information to you? Surely Owls in and out of the castle are being watched." I said.

"Yes, you're right. We thought about this." Mr.Weasley said, pulling out a mirror and handing it to me. I was a hand held mirror that was plain silver.

"A two way mirror?" I asked. Lupin nodded. "Who has the other one?" I asked.

"We figured you would like it best if I had the other one." Lupin said, holding up an identical mirror. "It will burn when we want to talk."

"Great." I said turning and walking back to the living room. George was still sound asleep. I sat on the couch and watched him sleep. It was very soothing.

"Morning." He said rolling over to face me.

"Yeah that would be right except for that it is 1 pm." I smiled.

"Really?" He asked. I nodded. "I have to get down to the shop." He said standing. "Do you want to come with me?" He asked. I hesitated.

"I believe that is just what she needed." Lupin smiled from the doorway.

"Alright. Lead the way." I said. I ran up the stairs and changed out of my dress. I slid on some leggings and a red blouse. It came to me then that most of my clothes are red. I gave a small laugh at the thought. Gryffindor had invaded my life.

"Lily?" George knocked.

"Almost ready!" I called as I pulled my black hair into a ponytail.

"You look ravishing, darling." He said. I gave a smile. He held out his hand and we appeared away.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" I asked when we arrived at Diagon alley. It looked the same but it was dark and dreary.

"Yes, ever since you-know-who's return, And Ollivander missing, Diagon alley has not been the same. There are more death eaters than ever out patrolling. The joke shop had to be moved to OWL orders.." George said.

We walked past Ollivanders. It was horrible. Windows broken, wand boxes everywhere. Something horrible happened here I felt it in my bones.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"No one knows." George said, pulling me past Ollivanders. Most of the shops had closed signs somewhere open.

"Fifty sickles." I heard a man say.

"Who is that?" I asked, pointing to the man making trades.

"Mandamus Fletcher, he trades things, also a member of the order if he would ever show up to the meeting." George scowled.

"No, this is priceless! Fifty sickles!" He told the man holding up a goblet.

"Oh my-." I said but stopped.

"What is it?" George asked.

"That snake!" I said walking up to him.

"Lily-" George called but it was too late.

"You git! That belongs to my family!" I said, grabbing the goblet.

"No it belongs to the Blacks, who all are dead!" He yelled trying to get the goblet back.

"Lily Black, Siruis Blacks daughter, pleasure to meet you." I said, grabbing the goblet finally from his hands.

"Miss. Black." He bowed.

"You stole this from Grimmauld place did you not?" I said.

"I did. Got to make a living somehow." He smirked.

"You snake! That is MY house my father Siruis Black left it to me. Which means everything inside belongs to me! So give me back everything you have taken from MY home." I yelled.

"Yes, right away." He said putting plates and goblets into my hands.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"No. That's it." He said.

"Leave. Never go back, you are banned from Grimmauld place. If you go back I will know and I will hunt you down." I snarled. He apperated away.

"That was bloody amazing! Can you really ban people from it?" Geroge said.

"I don't know. I mean it has magic, it belongs to me. But that felt amazing. Now what do I do with all this." I laughed holding up the stuff in my arms.

"We could take it to Grimmauld place?" He said.

"I have not been back there since I left two christmas ago." I said.

"So you don't want to go?" He asked.

"No lets. I need to see it." I said and we apperated away.
