(Y/n's P.O.V)
"Voldemort is on the rise again, and no one believes us thanks to the Ministry calling Harry and Dumbledore liars; they will believe whatever they want to believe, and Voldemort being back is not something they want to believe." My boyfriend Remus says as he enters our home after another Order Meeting.
"Good evening to you, to Remus!" I say, rolling my eyes as he enters the kitchen where I am making dinner.
"Sorry, Good evening!!" He said before kissing me and helping me make our dinner.
"And that's kinda the point. The Minister thinks Dumbledore is building an army to overthrow him and become Minister of Magic, so he covers everything Dumbledore says and says it's lies and that he doesn't want to believe that Voldemort is back. Not many people want to believe a killer of so many is back. Everyone fears him; it's easier to brush the disappearances on someone less of a threat, like Mass Murderer Sirius Black, for example. They think it's a stunt by Dumbledore, a cover-up for a bigger plan." I work for the Ministry. I'm actually high in the ranks of the Ministry, so I hear everything about what is going on and what they will do about it before it happens.
It comes with its perks, working so high up but also down points like I can only join the Order with them finding out. They check our memory before we enter the meeting, meaning any sign of the Order of the Phoenix other than when I talk to Remus cause they just skip over all that we have been dating since school, so there would be too much to search. But if I went to an Order meeting, they would notice it, and I can't let them find out who is in the Order or what is being discussed because it would all be used against me, and I would be thrown in Azkaban.
I still help relay information to Remus, who takes them to the meetings, and then when he gets home, he tells me what he hears in the discussions. That way, I am kept up to date without the Ministry getting suspicious. I wish I could join the Order, but Remus wouldn't let me risk my life like that. The Ministry is brushing aside Cedric's murder and Barty's murder alongside the re-capture of supposed said Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. Cedric was killed by the same man who betrayed my Sister, her Husband. Peter Pettigrew and I will not rest till he is behind bars.
My Sister and I had been super close. She's older than me but not by much; when word of her death reached me, I didn't believe it at first. I had been there only half an hour before they were killed. If I had stayed half an hour longer, I could have saved her enough time to run with Harry. Harry, my nephew, doesn't even know I exist. He was given to my Sister Petunia and her Husband while I was left with nothing to remember my Sister.
"Y/n, you're quiet. What's wrong?" Remus asks as we set the table.
"Just that the Ministry are brushing away two murders and the capture of a death eater. We need to throw Peter behind bars. He killed Cedric, he betrayed my Sister, and he is the reason James and Lily are dead." At the mention of Lily, Remus pulls me into a hug. "Why did Albus send Harry to Petunia?"
"He sent Harry to her because she's older, and her Muggle Blood has no magic, so it was easier to cover Harry and protect him." (Idk how it works, but let's go with that; otherwise bitch I would have rescued him from there before dawn came the morning, he was found on Ms. and Mr. Dursley's front step by Ms. Dursley when she went to put the milk out) Well it made sense, but the fact he had kept me away from Harry was not fair. "We can have Harry stay with us this summer if you want?"
"Yes, please. I'll set up his room after dinner. I finally get to meet him!!" I say as we sit down to eat.
Remus was lucky enough to have taught Harry in his third year and seen him before and after Order meetings. Remus had mentioned to Harry that he had another Aunt who wished she could meet him. So, over the last break, Harry had asked Remus many questions about me, and we would talk through Remus. I haven't seen him since the day his parents died, only half an hour before they died. I sometimes wonder if Lily would still be alive if I stayed and died protecting them. Would she be the one raising her son, not our Sister?
