Chapter 72 Good Tidings

The assignment was an easy one and the couple had it completed in no time at all. Lily was very glad Dumbledore never gave them assignments that had to do with Severus. She had figured quite rightly that Dumbledore did not want to put her in the position of having to spy on her past love and father of her son, who was now over three years old.

The other days were to find them in the Ministry of Magic working in the office. Lily was surprised to have another holiday arrive so quickly.

Lily didn’t feel like making a big fess over it so she and James had a quiet dinner with Remus, Sirius and Peter at their place. It was very nice to have some quiet time. Working at the Ministry was proving to be a busy hectic time for them all. Peter was also working there in the department for maintenance. He had explained that it was very challenging to try and learn how to fix things and keep them working properly.

They were all very glad to have him working there now; they would all meet for lunch at the cafeteria in the lower levels and talk about the day and what Dumbledore was now planning.

The days, which flowed into weeks and months, all went like this. They met talked and enjoyed each other’s company. Lily and James were convinced that none of their friends could be the traitor, it seemed impossible for them to see any of them turning spy for Voldermort against them as they sat around talking and speculating on what Dumbledore would have for them to do next.

Lily was glad to arrive home to find Dumbledore waiting there for them.

“Ahhh I am most please to see you two are doing well.” Dumbledore told them both. The Potters invited him into their home. The three walked inside while Lily went to get some tea for them all. Once she was back with the tea and was sitting with James across from Dumbledore he begun to speak in his soft light tones that made you feel as though a gentle breeze was playing with your ears.

“I have a rather dangerous assignment that needs to be completed. I am afraid that Voldermort knows what is going on and will try to stop any one from accessing it.”

Lily and James nodded, understanding.

“We work great as a team, we’ll have no problems.” James said confidently.

“We’ll be careful too.” Lily added to counter balance James over confidence.

Dumbledore smiled at them. They did make an excellent team and were very good at retrieving items of importance.

Dumbledore explain to them what was needed and were soon gone with Lily and James eating their meal and talking about tactics.

The next day the two had left their home and decided to drive the car only half way to their destination. They did not want the Death Eaters to notice the light blue car that always seemed to be around where ever they had been.

They quickly dissaperated to the place they needed to go.

It was not to hard retrieving it, the hard part came when several hooded figures had shown up to take it from them. Lily and James were now very busy firing off shots with their wands to keep them at bay as they tried to leave.

Lily was pleased to note that one seemed really terrible at spell work and another seemed to shoot a few Death Eaters mistakenly from behind. Lily smiled grimly she knew that spell and who was the one who made it up and had used it many times before.

It was very difficult for the two to leave since they had so many firing at them, that turning may leave them with their backs open to being hit before they had gone. Just then a loud pop was heard as many Death Eaters turned to see who had landed in their midst.
