Post 2. Chapter 1: Undoings (continued)
“So, Dumbledore, what was it you called us in for?” James asked, helping Lily onto her chair. Dumbledore sighed, and waved his hand motioning James to sit down. “May I offer you anything before we begin?” Dumbledore asked, trying very much to take his time. “No thank you,” James said, “You Lily?” “Maybe a cup of tea.” Dumbledore took out his wand from his pocket and waved it around. Instantly a cup of tea appeared, just the way Lily liked it. “So, what is it you wanted to talk to us about?” James repeated. Dumbledore closed his eyes, when he opened it the twinkle that usually shone from his blue eyes seem to be gone. This caught James’ attention, “What is it?” He asked urgently. The tone of his voice made Lily put down her drink and stare at Dumbledore intensely. Dumbledore sighed once more and looked straight at the couple’s eyes. “I have terrible news” he began, “about…Harry.” The effect of that simple sentence was unbelievable. James jumped up to his feet, his face full of concern. Lily nearly dropped her tea and was looking at Dumbledore as though for the first time, her hands automatically went to her stomach. “What about Harry?” Lily asked quickly. “Well…as we all know Voldemort has been worse than usual lately, and we need someone to stop his madness.” James couldn’t understand what was going on. He was about to say this, when Lily put a hand out, she was looking at Dumbledore with an expression that none had ever seen before. “We have…found our hero, the one who will, defend us all and possibly save us against Voldemort and his followers.” “Who?” Lily asked, although she already knew who it was. “Your son” Dumbledore replied simply, “Harry Potter.”

Post 3. Chapter 1: Undoings (continued)
James had to grasp onto his chair for support. Lily finally dropped her tea. This couldn’t be happening, it just couldn’t! Why? Why them? Why their son? It just wasn’t fair! Lily, having her red head temper, didn’t know how to react, so she did what any red head would do in this situation: blow up. “WHY! WHY OUR SON! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT I KNEW IT! YOU WANTED US TO JOIN THE ORDER! NOW SEE WHAT IT GOT US INTO!” “Lily please calm down…” James began. “CALM DOWN! JAMES POTTER THIS ALL YOUR FAULT! I NEVER WANTED TO GO OUT WITH YOU! I KNEW SOMETHING WRONG WOULD HAPPEN! I HATE YOU!!!” James looked at the floor slowly. Lily suddenly stopped her rant. “Oh James I’m sorry, you know I didn’t mean that” she went over to him and hugged him. James hugged her back, “I know” he whispered, kissing the top of her head. “I am sorry of this news, but you see now that the prophecy was made, we have to take some actions, especially now that Lord Voldemort knows about it” “Wait, prophecy?” “Lord Voldemort?” Dumbledore sighed. “You might want to sit down” James and Lily followed his instruction and sat down. “I was down at the Hog’s Head a couple of nights ago. I had gone down to see an application for the post of Divinations…” “Didn’t you say you didn’t want that class anymore?” James asked. “Yes I did, but this one is the great-great-granddaughter of a very famous, and gifted seer, so I went against my better judgment, and lucky for me I did. “Why?” James asked. “Because, after the interview, which did not go very well, I turned to leave until I heard her saying something in a voice much unlike hers, like a hoarse voice…” “Was she saying a real prediction?” “Yes she was, a prophecy, as a matter of fact.” “May we hear it Dumbledore?” Lily whispered. Dumbledore nodded his head, “Of course.” he said. Dumbledore got to his feet and walked past the couple to a black cabinet that stood beside Fawkes’s, Dumbledore’s beautiful phoenix, perch. He bent down, slid back a catch, and took from inside it the shallow stone basin, carved with runes around the edges. He walked back to the desk, placed the Pensieve upon it, and raised his wand to his own temple. From it, he withdrew a silvery substance of thoughts, clinging onto his wand, and deposit them in the basin. He sat back on his chair behind his desk. He watched the silvery substance for a while before prodding it with the tip of his wand. Instantly a figure of a woman rose up. She had long, thick, bushy hair. She had on immense glasses which gave her the aspect of a bug, and she had much rings around her fingers. Overall, the view wasn’t the best. Then she was talking, in a hoarse voice… “THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD APPROACHES…BORN TO THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES… AND THE DARK LORD WILL MARK HIM AS HIS EQUAL, BUT HE WILL HAVE POWER THE DARK LORD KNOWS NOT…AND EITHER MUST DIE AT THE HAND OF THE OTHER FOR NEITHER CAN LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES…THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD WILL BE BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES…”
Stoned silence filled the air as the woman slowly sank back into the silvery mass below and vanished. Dumbledore looked down, James and Lily sat - petrified - to their chairs, the many portraits around the room, usually loud, where shocked. “So…” James said, breaking the silence, “What…what does that mean?” “It means that, the boy who will overrule Voldemort will be born at the end of next month, to parents to have already defied Voldemort three times.” “But…but that means that, maybe it’s not Harry at all!” Lily said. “There is a possibility, but you have a very strong chance, as well as the Longbottoms” “The Longbottoms? As in Frank and Alice?” James asked. “Yes indeed” “But then, why are you showing us this?” Lily questioned. “Because, I have a strong feeling about Harry. Alice and Frank will be warned, but they shall not hear the prophecy, which is why I’m asking for you not to tell anyone of what you have heard” They both nodded their heads. “Wait” James said, “You said something about Voldemort already knowing this.” “Ah yes, it turns out that there was a follower listening outside the door” “Who?” “That information shall be kept secret. But the spy did not hear all. He did not hear about Voldemort marking this boy as an equal, meaning I have a feeling there will be problems. You shall have to go into hiding, I’ll make sure that you and your son are most protected, do not worry. If in any case the prophecy refers to your son, there is a very small chance Voldemort will find you.” “How?” “By doing ‘Secret Keeping’.”
thanks so much!

Post 4. Chapter 1: Undoings (continued)
“Secret Keeping? James repeated, sinking back onto his chair slowly. “Yes” Dumbledore said, “The old curse. For the curse to work we need someone to hold in the information of your whereabouts, if ever they betray you, they will suffer a most painful death. So, who do you wish to choose?” “Sirius” James answered automatic. “No!” Lily exclaimed, “What about some of my friends or if not Remus!” “Moony can’t do it because it’s that time of month” James said, looking Lily straight in the eye. Lily obviously knew this was not the woman’s time of month but something else… “Are you sure you want to use Sirius?” “Yes of course!” James said. “Only, we think there might be someone close to you that is a spy against us…” Lily gasped, but James shook his head. “Sirius would never betray me. I want to use him as my secret keeper!” James said, in such determination that both Lily and Dumbledore had no choice but to accept. “All right. If you’re sure that you don’t want me to…” “No Dumbledore, its no use putting you in more danger, the students here need you to survive.” “James is right, as much as I would have preferred using you, you can’t be put into more danger.” “All right. And Sirius is up for the challenge?” “You obviously have forgotten how we were in school” Dumbledore laughed, “How could one forget…” Lily smiled. “So, we will need to contact Sirius, immediately, we need to do this right away. We need him now” “Ok then, I’ll call him.” James said, taking out a small, squared mirror from his pocket. He looked into it and said, “Padfoot!” “So that’s how they kept communication during detention” Dumbledore murmured. Lily smiled at Dumbledore. Meanwhile, James was watching the mirror circling around as a face came into focus. There, inside the mirror, was the face of a most handsome man. He had long dark hair that fell smoothly over his light gray eyes. He smiled up at James reviling a perfect smile. “Prongs mate! How’s it going?” Sirius Black greeted. “Oh I’m good. Hey listen man you think you can up to Hogwarts for a minute?” James asked, getting straight into business. “Why what’s wrong?” “Nothing. I’ll explain when you get here.” “Okay.” “Thanks. You think you still remember the way to Dumbledore’s office?” James teased. “Oh, I think I have a good idea where to find it” Sirius laughed. How not to remember it when you where there every week for 7 years. “Good” James said, “Oh and Padfoot, Dumbledore feels like eating a ‘Lemon Drop’” Sirius laughed as his best friend secretly told him the password to the office, just the way they used to. “Thanks mate, I’ll be there in a while.” “Okay, bye” “Bye” Both their mirrors then went blank.
