Author's Note:
This chapters kinda a dud. There's not a lot going on in it, and I've been working on other fics, that are posted on fanfiction.net, so I've sort'a been taking a little break. The sixth chapter should be better.

The Book of Prophecies

Chapter 5

Adam quickly arrived home. He was happy and extremely relieved. First, he had been accepted along with his older brother, and then he came home to find that his wife did not suspect a thing.

"Hello, Evie," he said, while kissing her cheek. Though he knew she didn't think he'd done anything but go to work, she still looked preoccupied as she mumbled a weak 'hello'. "Knut for your thoughts?" That seemed to snap her out of it.

"Huh?" she said. "Oh. James met this girl, a muggle it seemed, and went to see her again with Sirius and Sarah. It appears that she is not a muggle, but far different from the average witch. Anyway, they asked my advice on her situation and I'm not sure what to say. They went to owl her a little while ago to see if she could stay." Then, as an afterthought, she added, "That's all right with you... isn't it?" She knew her husband was, many times, touchy about these things and would get mad at her for allowing it without his permission. Luckily for her, his good mood prevented him from saying it was anything besides fine.

"It's fine," he said. "When's she coming?"

"I don't know if she's coming at all, but if she is, then she'll ow..." Evelyn was cut off by the sound off knocking at the door.

"I got it!" James yelled from the living room of which he and the others had occupied after sending off the owls. There was the sound of footsteps and the creak of the door. "LILY!!!"

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

Lily looked over at Tom. She could tell that he was hiding something, but she couldn't figure out what it was. It was getting on her nerves almost as much as the color white. They quickly arrived at James's house and he told her that he needed to speak to James's father anyway, so he didn't leave. She quickly left his side to knock on the door. From inside, there was the sound of footsteps and the door creaked open. It was James.

"LILY!!!" he shouted. "How'd you get here?" He was trying to act normal, but his eyes, like before, betrayed his emotions and told that he was completely and utterly confused. Lily laughed.

"I'll tell you what happened if you let me in," she told him. He looked embarrassed and quickly let her in, but stopped when he saw Tom.

"Who's he?" She turned back to see what he meant, then saw that he was pointing to Tom.

"Oh," she said. "That's Tom. He brought me here and, apparently, needs to talk to your dad." That answer seemed to satisfy James and he let both of them in. Lily sat down on the couch next to Sarah and began explaining what had happened.

"Dad!" James called out. "There's someone here to see you! And mom, Lily's here as well!"

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

Severus Snape glanced at his father with a confused look, but it passed quickly. Confusion was not allowed, you had to understand or just follow orders. Fortunately, his father was too enraged to notice.

Severus looked over at Lucius Malfoy who was there with his own father. He was met with a confusion to match his own. They had been called to Severus's father's office to witness as their fathers complained about the new Death Eater and make comments about the strange actings of the Dark Lord.

"How could they let a Potter in? A Potter of all people! And two of them at that!" Severus's father, Aneirin, said.

"Let's just hope that their kids have enough common sense to get into Slytherin, or some house that's not completely against us. Even though it is highly doubtful considering what they are. Their elders don't seem to be holding up their family honor, now do they?" Audric, Lucius's father, replied. They laughed at some joke that it seemed only they understood.

"You know," Aneirin began again after some time. "They're saying that the reason Master is acting like this is because of an eleven year old girl." Audric scoffed.

"A little girl?! Make the Master act like that?!" he said in disbelief. "You've got to be joking. Hardly anything can make him act like that. Let alone a child!"

"They also say that she's a descendant of Andraia Aquae and will produce her heir."

"That would explain it then, but these are just rumors. We can't be too sure, and until I have proof, I'm not going to believe it." They went on like this for a while before turning to the two boys.

"Now," Aneirin said. "When you two arrive at school, there are a few people we would like you to keep an eye on. The first two are James and Sarah Potter, and the others are anyone that Dumbledore seems to be particularly interested in. We'll let you know later if we receive any names. Now, you are dismissed. Go... terrorize a house-elf, or... something."

"Arabella," Aaron Figg said to his sister. "Are you sure we need to do this? I mean, Ms. Intain is not going to be very happy when she finds out."

"Well," Arabella replied. "With any luck, we'll be on a plane to England by that time. And I do not care what you say, I am doing this with or without you, so hurry up or be left behind." Aaron sighed. When his sister set her mind on something, she followed through with it, and he would go with her. Yet, he still didn't know why they were headed to England at all.

"Why are we going to England at all?" he questioned her.

"To help Lily, Peter, Remus, and the others."

"And who are they?"

"Look in your book to see all the names I've given you after the visions." He sighed once again. This was going to be a loooooooong trip.

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

"And so here I am," Lily finished. She had told them every single piece of the story since after they left, leaving nothing out. She even told them what the people were thinking.

"Well," Evelyn said from the doorway. "That's quite a story. I hate to find out what you would do at Hogwarts." Lily nodded her head in agreement.

"Me too," she said. "But I think there are others here that you should worry about more, when we leave for Hogwarts." She cast a knowing glance at James and Sirius who were attempting to put innocent looks on but were failing miserably.

"I would have to agree with you there." Just then, Tom came back out of the kitchen.

"It's good to have you on the team, Adam," he said. "I should hope to see you tomorrow." Adam nodded, speechless. Tom then turned to Lily. "It was nice finally meeting you in person Lily. I'll try to keep in touch." With that, he Disapparated.

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

"ARTEMIS!!!!" A girl with long, silvery-blond hair and periwinkle eyes called to her twin. "What do you think you are doing?"

"That Lupin dude is coming out!" The girls were identical in every aspect and even their parents had trouble telling them apart. Artemis, though, was the tomboy. She enjoyed sports and climbing trees and the like, and she hated almost everything that she considered 'girly'. Aphrodite, on the other hand, was the exact opposite, but, as they say, opposites attract, and the sisters were best of friends. "Wanna go see what's up?"

"I dunno," Aphrodite replied. "He seems kinda strange to me. Hey, you think he might be a werewolf?"

"Well, that would explain why he's gone every full moon, but I think I saw an owl fly over there last night, and I'm pretty sure it had a Hogwarts letter. Why would a werewolf be accepted to Hogwarts?"

"Hmmm... You're right, but you need to remember, Albus Dumbledore is headmaster now, and I'm sure he'd find a way that Lupin could attend Hogwarts."

"Yeah," Artemis replied. They held debates like that often and almost always left off without a clear answer. She slowly climbed down the tree she had been in. "We still need to go school shopping. Wanna see if we can go with him?" Aphrodite thought for a moment.

"Why not? We can try and make friends with him. I don't think he has many friends." They quickly ran off to make arrangements.

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

"Here," Sarah handed Lily a pair of sunglasses. "Hopefully this will help. Now lets get going. I don't want to miss out on a shopping excursion!" Lily slipped on the glasses and followed Sarah out to the Potter's kitchen.

"Alright," Evelyn said, "Everyone ready? Now, Lily, we are using Floo Powder to get to Diagon Alley. All you need to do is-"

"Throw the powder in the fireplace, step in, and say Diagon Alley as clearly as you can," Lily finished. "Tom told me. I think I'd like to go second to make sure I get there all right." Evelyn nodded.

"I'll go first!" Sirius shouted. He stepped into the now green flames. "Diagon Alley!"

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

Artemis looped her arm in Remus's and began dancing in circles. Remus looked tired, but he was just as excited as her and danced along.

"We're going to Diagon Alley. We're going to Diagon Alley." Aphrodite looked at them sternly for a time, but finally gave up and she sang with them.

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

Arabella dragged her brother down the streets of London until they reached a grubby little pub that's name was barely readable as The Leaky Cauldron.

"Can I ask why we're here?" Aaron received a glare from his sister.

"Don't ask questions you know the answer to." She walked up to the bartender who looked middle-aged but had quite a few missing teeth. "Excuse me, but do you know how we could get to Diagon Alley?" He smiled at her.

"Certainly, miss. Just follow old Tom." He led them to a small courtyard behind the pub and began tapping bricks with his wand. Soon, the wall crumbled and they stood in the entrance to an amazing street. "Welcome, to Diagon Alley."

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

White sucks, Nina thought, staring at the blank ceiling of the hospital room. I hate white. She sat up, looking for the hundredth time for a sign of color. The window had been covered and the nurse would know if she got out of bed to open it. Just then, the nurse came in.

"You know," she said. "We had a patient in this very room just last night. It was the strangest thing. A muggle brought her in. She had been hit by his truck and was bleeding badly, but her blood wasn't normal. It was red, yes, but bright, fire red and it seemed to be mixed with green. When she woke up, she didn't know who she was. Luckily though, this man came to get her and she remembered everything. I don't know. I just don't know." The nurse had gone into a dreamy state, but she quickly snapped out of it. "Anyway, you're free to go."

Nina quickly dressed and headed to the lobby. Her mother and brother were there waiting for her. Though they were in mourning, they needed to get on with their lives quickly.

"Banina," her mother said. "Are you up to shopping?" Nina just nodded. "Alright then. Off to Diagon Alley."

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

Tom Riddle, or now known as Voldemort, looked down at the aged book. It was extremely old, and extremely well intact. The book had opened itself. It had chosen it's new owner. It knew that the time was right.

"Soon, Flower. I'll get you soon."
