The Fight. The Marauders Always Stick Together. Lily Joins The Order.

The room had four death eaters. Peter was not under anyone's watch. He was just standing in a corner, crouched and scared.

"Okay!" The death eater said, calling a truce, "Okay! Give up your wand, and your friends are free."

"Don't..."

"If you do it, James, I'll kill you!" Sirius told him.

"Okay...!"

"Idiot!" Remus screamed.

James put his wand on his floor, and it rolled on to the feet of the Death Eater. James stood in front of the Death Eater, and Sirius, Remus and Peter stood freely.

"So, you are just stupid, or what?" The Death Eater looked at James, and smiled crookedly. The others laughed at him. They all stood around him. One of the Death eater's was watching Remus, Peter and Sirius.

James's hand dripped with blood.

"Little bit." James said slowly.

"What?" The Death Eater said.

James clenched his dripping wrist into a punch. He slammed it into the death eater's nose, and punched the other one who stood next to him. Sirius took the advantage of the distraction, and slashed his wand out. The Death Eater was on the floor in seconds.

The Death Eater on the floor stumbled for James's wand, and turned to James's back, who was sitting on the floor, and was punching the Death Eater, who tortured him earlier.

"Crucio!"

James was flat on the ground again, as he flinched, and the broken mirror he had left there earlier and blood flew and made a puddle around him.

"Stupefy!"

"Protego!"

Remus and Sirius were fighting with the Death Eaters. And Peter stood in the corner, petrified. The Death Eater with the nose bleed disappeared. Two of the others were lying in the corner stupfied.

James was released from the wand control as he stood up slowly, and the death eater tried to get away. James knew he had to do something. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled both the wands from his hand. Then he punched him one last time. The Death Eater disappeared.

James was swaying a little, and blood was dripping from his back, and his hands. His hands tried to grab something, but there was nothing around. He crashed to the floor, and the mirror jabbed into face. James fell into the pool of his own blood, which increased.

"James!" Sirius yelled, and they ran to his side.

"What the hell happened over there?"

"He came back, that idiot, gave up his wand, and single handedly knocked out two of them."

"He is a big idiot, you know!"

"I mean you should have seen him, punching this side and that."

"Why did you let him go?"

James was stirring from a deep sleep, and he heard people talking outside. He grabbed his glasses from the corner table. His hands were still scratched a little. He was tired and his muscles were aching.

"Hey look, who's up!"

James pushed his glasses on his face. All of them were sitting in his room. He saw Sirius, Remus, and Lily on the couch on the side. Peter was crouching in the corner, who was looking a little scared.

"Hey, how are you?" Sirius and Remus stood up, on each side of his bed.

"Okay," He flinched as tried to sit up, "I guess,"

He took a few moments trying to sit up.

"So what happened?" James looked at the mirror, and examined the scar on his face.

A patronus suddenly entered the room, and a deep voice said

"Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, report for duty, immediately!"

Both of them looked at James apologetically, and James nodded his head. Remus and Sirius disappeared outside, Lily sat on the bed with him.

"Are you sure you are okay?"

"Yes, I am fine!"

"I think I'll be going too." Peter said slowly. He disappeared from the house within seconds.

"You know, James Potter, you are an idiot!" Lily told him, handing him a tray.

"Well, I am a cute idiot." James still looked in the mirror, and examined his scar.

Lily laughed.

"You didn't cook this, did you?" James put on a scared face.

"No!" She hit him with a pillow.

"Ow!"

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry."

"Evans, you are too easy!"

This time it was James's turn to laugh.

"Hey, James, Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

James took a bite.

"I want to join the Order, can I?"

"Lily, It's your choice, I mean it is not my decision to make." James looked surprised, " I can take you to the Secret Place of the Order in the evening."

"Okay." She took a deep breath, "Okay, I want to join the Order."

JAMES AND LILY IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE ORDER: Lily joins the order of the phoenix.

"Order to the Meeting!" Dumbledore shouted, as everyone got silenced, and sat down. "First of all, Welcoming Back, Mr James Potter."

Everyone in the room clapped.

"James Potter has been an amazing help to the Order, he has now completed 61 successful missions, in only one year!" Albus Dumbledore was saying softly, " The only person who has set such a high record and spent so much time for the Order, so devotedly."

The room was filled with deafening claps. James stood next to Dumbledore, with a little limp in his leg, and a scar on his left cheek, making his cheekbone more obvious.

"Sir," Lily thought James was blushing, "I have a guest with me, someone who wants to join the Order."

He pointed to Lily , who was standing at the end of the room.

"Ah, Ms Evans!" Dumbledore motioned her to come in front of the table. "Welcome! Everyone, please, welcome Lily Evans to the Order of the Phoenix. Our newest member!"

"Lily Evans, as the newest member of our little group!"

Dumbledore introduced Lily to the other members of the order, and many of them knew her already.

"I'm going home!" James told her, "I am still on vacation, for..." He looked at his wrist watch. "A few more hours."

"Lily Evans!" Dumbledore said, "In the office for your first task!"

"Already?" James said slowly, "Well, see you at home!"

He waved to her, and went outside. James was still limping, and his hands were scratched with the Dark Magic marks. James Potter walked out of the Order's secret place.
