    "Are you sure we should use Lily as secret keeper in your place?"

    "Absolutely. She's the person I trust most."

    She stared out of the window in her room, out at the world separated from her by the Fidelus charm. Words couldn't express how much she missed being up and about in the streets, but since she was attacked the Order decided it would be safer for her to remain in 12 Grimmauld Place unless it was important. She was entirely healed weeks ago, but everyone took the attack seriously and increased security. They even made an extra headquarters so if the beans were spilled they could instantly change, and no one would get hurt.

    But this scheme also meant locking her up in the creepy house of the Black. She grew lonely, as she only had Sirius for company, and while Sirius was great he was affected by this house a lot and rarely showed up. The house brought back memories- memories that she dared not let go, but she just couldn't bring them back up- it would cause too much pain.

    After all, her best friend/love of her life grew up here. It was painful for her to walk these halls, when every step- every inch of these walls brought back the most terrible memories.

    But today she was alert. Her gut told her that danger was lurking- that it was just around the corner. Her mind immediately wandered to the group of Order members sitting downstairs, and then it happened.

    The silvery-blue dolphin sailed into her room, and glided past the door. Eyes wide, she followed it into the living room, where it stopped in front of Sirius, and spoke two words that turned her face chalk white.

    "Godric's Hollow."

    Then it was gone, disappeared into a poof of mist, and her was left staring, staring at the mist where the dolphin had stood. That voice...

    It brought back so many memories, all the pain that she had tried to hide. No, no, I can't break down now. They need me.

    "I'm coming with you."

    Sirius looked up, startled. "No, what do you mean? You're hurt-"

    "I'm not hurt anymore, I've healed!" She was getting desperate at this stage. "I can't stand staying here not knowing if- if you- if you-" she couldn't bring herself to say the last word.

    Lily stood up, glancing around the room. "She's right, she's one of the best we have. We need her." Their eyes met, and she smiled gratefully at her best friend. Her sister.

    Sirius sighed. "Fine. But if anything happens, you're coming back here. Can't have anything happen to my sister-in-law."

    "Sirius!"

***************************

    Godric's Hollow was a mess.

    There was smoke all around it, and the fire was burning, the white-hot flames dancing in the smoky sky. The Dark Mark hung in the sky. She instantly felt her heart sink with dread.

    She had only just apparated to the place when they were surrounded by Death Eaters. Her eyes widened, and she felt the familiar sensation of Lily's back against hers as the two reacted simultaneously, pushing back the circle of Death Eaters.

    Chaos ensured after that. Almost instantly, a spell threw the two girls apart, and all her vision turned red as she fell to the ground, and she heard an explosion occur behind her. Immediately a jinx missed her by inches and she was locked into a duel that didn't last long- she blasted him off his feet in mere seconds.
