A/N: I know I shouldn't be putting out YET ANOTHER story when I have so many unfinished ones that haven't updated in... FOREVER!! O.O But I can't help it. I have about a hundred that want to comre out right now and I'm finally putting them up in hopes that when I do I will be able to actuall update SOMETHING. ... Hopefully. ^.^ Please don't skin me alive. Y.Y
A/N 2: So, here's how it goes because I don't feel like finding a way to put it in and boring you all THAT badly. So basically, Remus came back at the end of fifth year to take back his position when Umbridge went bonkers. Poor Sev has been stuck with the task of fixing up the wolfsbane a bit more so that Lupin is comfy enough to stay the next year as well. ... I was going to add more, but that won't really fit in untill later... o.O Oh well. ^.^ Oh yeah! Also, since this is probably crucial to this chapter, something (I'm not telling you what yet) has made Voldie change his mind on Draco's mission. Called it off last minute. You'll get that chapter next. ^.^ But it explains why this is taking place so late in the year and nothing has happened.
Enjoy!
Harry was dreaming, he knew he was. Quite obvious when he was leaning on a crib staring at a babe with bug bright green innocent eyes and the smallest tuft of black hair. And if that wasn't enough prof, he was listening to his mother, long dead, tell the young one in bed a story. He'd had this dream many times and knew the story word for word and his mothers every expression by this point but it never grew old.
The story somewhat reminded Harry of the story 'The Frog Price' but was quite different. It also had a small mix of 'Sleeping Beauty'... but a bit more dangerous.
"You know what the prince of the moon did Harry?" She smiled at the babe, "He rushed off! Grabbing his mighty sword, smiting any who stood in his way." Here, she stood up tall, pretending to hold a large sword in front of her. "He walked into the room, like this, face as hard as the rocks he was raised on. Hair flowing at odd angles as his magic surrounded him, showing all his enemies just how mad he was.
"And then," She leaned close to her son again, "Then he made his way up the tower. To find his love. But when he got there, the room was empty. A mere breeze was all the greeted him. Reaching for him." Little Harry's eyes got bigger, as if he knew what his mother meant. "He dropped his sword and fell to his knees, praying to his gods that his love was alright. As he finished begging them for their help, he heard foot steps coming up the tower. Instead of rising up to meet the other person as his honour dictated, he sat there, trying not to cry, his heart breaking as he lost hope.
"The person who came to him was none other than the very creature that took his love from him in the first place. He stood in front of the shattered prince and laughed. Hahaha! 'You pour fool' he said, smirk firmly in place, 'You thought wrong when you said you would save your idiot of a lover, now their gone. Lost forever to you and this world you have banished yourself to.' He watched the prince for a moment, letting him suffer. 'But,' he paused, waiting for him too look, 'But I have a deal for you' His smirk grew. ' I have no deals to make with you, you monster!' the prince yelled. He jumped up, grabbing his sword and swung as hard as he could. But the creature dodged it easily in the young mans rage. The force that he used knocked him down and he didn't even attempt to get back up.
" 'Here's the deal boy. You see I haven't actually killed your lover yet, simply... put 'em in save keeping.' he chuckled, 'You find a way to break the bind and I'll be forced to leave you alone, as it will render me nothing more than a shriveled up vegetable. And you can "Live happily ever after".' He made a funny face, not liking the sound of that. 'What's more' he continued, 'I won't even give you a time limit. Take as long as you need.' With that he started walking back to the stair case, leading back to the fighting.
" 'Why would you do that? Why would allow such a thing? It would leave you as good as dead and yet you willingly give me this opportunity? Why?' the prince rose and looked at the man like he was mad. 'Because I know you wont succeed. I know you'll fail. Besides it'll be fun to watch you suffer and eventually die. You see, this particular seal...drains you both. You'll become weaker and more confused as time wares on. You'll think you're delusional but it's real. All of it.' He pushed the door open a little more 'Not only that, but so does your other half. Suffering, calling out to you. The mind can be a deadly thing when it has turned on you. Memories pricked at until their distorted enough that you believe they are your worst nightmare. A loving caress turned into a painful curse.' he chuckled again. He slipped out of the room, pausing for a single second to toss a broken piece of mirror to the prince.
" 'You set your own time line boy. The more you gather the faster you both fade away to nothing. If you don't act upon it, you still suffer. Your choice.' With that he was gone. Vanished into thin air. The prince still had hope, however thin. If he got the pieces fast enough he could break the seal and his love would be free. As he picked the mirror fragment up, a wind swept by him, giving him a feeling of being held closely. When he looked into the reflecting glass, he saw a single ice blue eye, it was smiling with tears falling an unseen cheek.
"With this piece he still had hope."
As always before, Harry woke up before he could hear the ending of the story. He never understood why his mother would tell a young child such a dark story. It must have one of the greatest ending or something, because that's the only thing he could think of as an excuse. And even that wasn't a good one. Oh well, it was just a dream. Weirder things have happened, for sure. Harry rolled over, trying to get to sleep again, seeing as there would be classes tomorrow. It being Wednesday and all.
*-^.^-*
Once again, Harry was having that dream. Once again, his mother told him about the Moon Prince. And once again, he wondered why she told it. It was an odd story.
As she told it, he saw the characters in his head, doing as she dictated. He watched as the prince was dancing with his love, lights playing games with their shadows. He saw his parents sad faces when he said he would rather stay on earth with his intended. He grew nervous when the prince waited in the corridor for a late night stroll but his only love did not show up and wrap gentle arms around him. And he felt his heart race as his mother gave a detailed discription of the battle as the prince fought off the darklings and raced to the tower he knew his love was being held.
And once more as it always happened, he woke up in his bed at Hogwarts before the story was over. He lay there silently, watching as it began to become lighter outside, wondering if he would ever hear the end.
He had searched the school library for any mention of the story, but found nothing. He figured he wouldn't but he had hoped. It was bothersome to not know the end.
Harry jumped out of bed. He figured it was late enough that Remus was probably awake, he'd just go ask him. He would have done so earlier but he really didn't want anyone to think to hard on it. Like Hermione, she would probably pick it apart and tell him there was something going on in his head, seeing as she was studying to become a shrink and what not. But Remus might be able to tell him if she had actually ever told that story and if so, then he could finally get to the end of it. If not, oh well.
As Harry walked down the halls he wondered at the uselessness of these last few school days. Finals were over. They had nothing left to learn and most teaches, the 'cooler' ones didn't even make them do anything. They just sat in class talking. Not that he was complaining. It meant more time away from the Dursleys. But it was still pointless. There were... what?... three days left? What's the point?
When Harry, got to the professes room he gave the painting the password and let himself in as was dictated by Remus himself, even though it made the boy uncomfortable. When he entered the room was only lit by a fire. Harry thought about leaving but something caught his eye. Just outside of the reach the light something stirred slightly. He moved closer to see what it was. It was Remus Lupin himself. In his wolf form.
Harry had forgotten that last night was the full moon. He backed up, wanting to leave just in case. Not that he didn't trust his elder but somethings even Harry didn't dare attempt. In his slow rush Harry made a slightly louder than wanted sound and the warewolf jumped, ready for attack. Harry, not thinking straight, turned and made for the door. The wolf jumped him and bit into his shoulder as hard as he could.
Through the open window the sun was raising and it rays scattered over anything in its path. Remus Lupin slowly changed back into his human form screaming in pain not just from his transformation but also for likely killing his cub.
