HP: The Magical Gamer [Chapter 93: Letter! ] (Patreon)

"Actually, I wasn't doing something rather I was doing someone. Hmm! Her chocolate skin, her big round bazongas and large bubbly rump, her pink—" Remus smacked his head in a long suffering manner, pulling Sirius out of his daydream.

"You are a scoundrel, Mr. Black." Proserpina smiled coldly.

Sirius chuckled, wiping off the drool from his mouth. "And you are so hurtful, Proserpina. How many times do I have to remind you to call me Sirius?"

Proserpina didn't even deem his question a response and remained quiet, just smiling at him emotionlessly which her eldest daughter had inherited and mastered.

"Voldemort is alive." Lily interrupted before her friends could go back to ribbing each other. The others looked at her with mild surprise.

"We all have heard rumours like that many times in the last decade, Lily. Are you sure this isn't another one of those and is real for this time?" Remus asked ambivalently.

"Yes I am sure. Here, read this." Lily announced confidently and passed the small note to Alice beside her.

Alice gasped and read it aloud.

-To,

Harry Potter.

On 31st October, the next Samhain, I will seek you again and will check how far you have progressed. I have already killed your sister, little one. And now I have killed your mother too. From now on, you are an orphan with no weakness to exploit. Will this break you or will it make you stronger? I will be eager to see that. Don't disappoint me.

Your teacher,

Lord Voldemort.-

"This note was carried here by Peter Pettigrew himself." Lily dropped another bomb before they could digest the given information.

"Lily, start from the beginning." Sirius stared at her somberly, unusually, without swearing or cracking jokes.

Lily told them as much as she could. She revealed the truth of what happened on Halloween night at Hogwarts though she still didn't mention that Harry resurrected his sister.

She let them believe that Iris recovered miraculously by herself. She also avoided telling them that Harry killed Quirrell first which brought the attention of Voldemort on him.

Her allies listened to her attentively.

Although she was paranoid, she still trusted in the people present there with her life.

These men and women were with her from the beginning and would be with her till the end. If she couldn't trust them then she couldn't trust anyone.

"You killed Peter when he attacked you." Alice repeated after the redhead had finished her tale.

Lily nodded.

"And you also took care of the body. Because why not?" Sirius grumbled.

She nodded reluctantly again.

"You do understand how unbelievable this sounds, right?" Proserpina asked frankly as they all stared at Lily.

"Yes, I know. But you have to trust me. We need to get back in shape if we want to protect our children. There is a storm brewing on the horizon, believe it or not. And even if you think I am lying, what harm would it cause if we became alert and sharpened our dull fighting skills. We have to get back in shape." Lily answered annoyedly, trying not to snap at their doubt.

"Ha! I am already in shape. I have been doing so much special Cardio in the last decade that I haven't gained even a single pound." Sirius chuckled, distracting himself from thinking about his supposed backstabbing friend.

"You can simply call it sex, Sirius. You don't have to use euphemisms here. No one here is a chil— oh, I forgot, you in fact are an immature brat." Alice said exasperatedly.

Remus looked at Lily intensely, trying to picture scenarios where she was lying to them. He knew her well. She was one of his closest friends and had helped him out of many sticky situations. Still, to brand Peter as traitor didn't sit right with him.

In the end, he shook his head. It didn't matter if Peter died by Lily's hands or Death Eater's hands. The fact remained that he was dead. "Fine. We will start preparing for a war. But right now we need time to get over the fact that our Peter was an enemy. Come on, Sirius. I know a perfect bar for a drink."

"Fantastic! I am in a terrible need of booze and boobs. They make me think creatively. Let's go." Sirius smiled tartly and stood up, following Remus through the floo.

"Goodbye, Lils. Don't be shy and ask for my service if you ever need a good fucking. I can't understand how you and Alice are still functioning with that decade old dry spell. I would have gone mad by now in your place. Not that it has helped my sanity much, I am crazy already. Though at least I got the pleasure which is more than you two ever got." He grinned sardonically, ducking under the fireplace before she could curse him.

Lily glared angrily at the green fire where he wasn't anymore. If he wasn't her friend and she wasn't used to his flirting, she would have definitely been tempted to hurt him.

Only the women remained now.

"I too will prepare myself and will keep up with my informants. The Dark Lord will pay for his crimes this time if he really has risen. He will pay for ruining my husband. Goodbye for now. Lily. Alice." Proserpina Greengrass got on her feet and vanished into the floo.

Tim Greengrass had suffered the worst at the end of the last war. He had injured his head severely.

So badly that he became blind and schizophrenic. The lack of sight had only turned his schizophrenia even worse.

He barely left his bedroom nowadays and only Proserpina was able to deal with him and his sickness.

Daphne and Astoria were practically fatherless. They had been since the beginning.

"Don't worry, Lils. We will be here for you. Nothing will happen to Harry. Nothing." Alice hugged her best friend and gave her a soft squeeze before pulling back.

"Yes. I hope so, Alice. I can't bear to lose my children."

"You won't have to."
