Chapter 59 Training Starts

Lily was at home waiting for James, Sirius, and Remus to show up there. They were all going to the Ministry of Magic together. Lily couldn’t wait it was her first time there and they were going to be studying for their Auror positions.  Lily was also very nervous to be doing this. She knew that Alice and her boyfriend Frank Longbottom were also going there and that she was going to be married by the time they showed up there. Alice had told her that they too were getting married that they did not want to wait either. Lily had told her that her wedding date was next week and that she was very excited. Neither of the girls said that part of the reasons for not waiting was that Voldermort was taking over more and more. A lot of people were now getting married or doing other things that they may have normally waited on.

Lily was pacing back and forth when a knock was heard on the door. Lily ran to the front door and flung it open

James was standing looking very handsome in his robes with a roguish grin on his handsome face. “Prongs,” Lily shouted as she flung her arms around his neck holding him close. “I’m so excited.”

“Uuuh we can come back later if you need time alone?” Sirius said with laughter in his eyes.

Lily blushed. “Oh you are so bad.” Lily gave him a playful swat on his arm as he laughed with James and Remus.

“Come in guys.” Lily held the door open as the three boys walked inside.

“So how are we getting there?” Lily asked excitedly she was sure she’d start floating up into the air.

“Floo powder,” James brought out the container he had with him.

“Oh that stuff Se… oh that stuff.” Lily amended as the three boys looked at her oddly.

“So you know this stuff?” James seemed disappointed; he thought he was the first to introduce it to her.

“Well yeah the girls at school told me about it.” Lily smiled quickly hoping it sounded very reasonable and no one would have caught her slip and yell what do you mean Snape used it to get into the Gryffindor common room. Not that the little slip would tell them all that but she didn’t feel like explaining why and how Snape had come to the common room and that was how she had learn about it.

“Great, then let’s get a fire going.” Sirius said as he flicked his wand at the fireplace. A nice cheery fire roared to life.

“Umm will it be ok after we leave?” Lily asked thinking the house didn’t need to be any warmer than it was right now.

“Yeah no problem after we use it when it hasn’t been used for a few minutes the fire will go right out.” Lupin explained to her. Lily nodded her head as she watched Sirius take some in his hand toss it into the fire step in and yell. “Ministry of Magic” Sirius said in his clear deep voice, as he stepped into the fire to disappear in a flash of flames.

“I’ll go now.” Remus also took some powder and left in the same fashion as Sirius.

“You go and I’ll follow after you.” James told Lily who took some powder from the jar he held.

“Ok, umm James I love you.” Lily sounded very unsure about this. James gave her a deep kiss.

“Go now, I’ll be right behind you.”

Lily tossed it into the flames and stepped in saying nice and loud, “Ministry of Magic.”

Lily found she did not care for this way of travel, she was getting banged around and the soot and smoke was making her cough. Lily fell out of the fireplace to land down on her hands and knees.
