CHAPTER ONE-DARK FLASHES

Remus and I are closer than ever now. Our relationship has deepened so much that I don't think two people could be any closer than we are now.

Remus moved into the flat that Professor Dumbledore reserved for him. He misses his parents terribly though and but is somewhat excited about being on his own now.

It's going to be our seventh and final year this year. Right now, it's the middle of August just before we are supposed to go back.

Lily, Sirius and I are staying with Remus for the remaining two weeks. It was a huge place. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a dining room. Remus was at a loss with the space and eagerly agreed when I asked him if it would be okay to spend the last two weeks there with him.

I've learned to get along with the transformation as well. Remus and I stay in the Shrieking Shack during the transformations. Oddly enough, people are still terrified of the shack. They still believe that it is haunted and we're grateful that no one comes near it.

My dad heard about Remus and I and was so happy that I found someone. He understands about the 'curse' and is also glad that someone is helping me through that as well that is going through the same thing at the same time.

He couldn't believe about Mum though. He was having a hard time with the fact that Mum was actually trying to kill me all along because she was jealous. Plus, Dad had no idea that she was attacked. She never told him in the letters that she wrote.

He said that he was glad that it was over as well.

Dad bought me a new owl. She's a snow owl I called Fran.

I was just relaxing on my bed staring up at the ceiling listening to my CD player. It works in Diagon Alley, just not near Hogwarts.

I was listening to Garbage's CD Beautiful Garbage.

Just then, the door to the bedroom opened. Lily and I shared a room and Sirius shared the room with Remus.

"Hi," Remus said softly as he entered the bedroom. I slid the headphones off my ears and propped myself onto my elbows.

"Hey," I said breaking out into a grin.

He came over to the bed and sat on the edge of it. He stared at me.

His blue eyes pierced mine.

"Are you having a good time?" he asked.

"Of course! Why would you ask that? I'm having blast! Dad doesn't mind me staying here with you," I said looking at him stunned.

He sighed. "I'm sorry. It's just that I'm not really used to having a girlfriend stay over,"

I fell in love with him even more.

I put my face close to his.

"Well, I'm going to the first and last, got it?" I said grinning.

He grinned back.

"Now come on," I said grabbing his arm. "Sirius is supposed to have something to show us."

I pulled him to his feet and we left the bedroom.

Lily was sitting on the couch looking bewildered. Fran, Sir and Sirius's owl, Sal, were perched happily in the dinning room.

When Remus and I entered, she looked up at us.

"Do you have any idea what Sirius is up to?" she asked as Remus and I sat down next to her.

"Nope," I said shaking my head.

"I hope it's nothing stupid," Lily said frowning.

"Knowing Sirius? That's like asking a clown not to squeeze his red nose," Remus said laughing.

Just then, a big black dog bounded into the living room wearing Lily's bra and underwear on its hindquarters.

The dog stood sideways as if to say "Lookit me!"

It took a moment for what we were seeing to register, then Remus and I rolled with laughter.

"SIRIUS!" Lily shouted irritably. "I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU COME ANY CLOSER I WILL MAKE YOU A WOMAN WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS!"

That only made Remus and I laugh harder.

The black dog barked and wagged its tail. I knew Sirius was laughing hard underneath.

The dog let out a yip, challenging Lily to run after it.

"I WILL GET YOU!" Lily yelled angrily as she jumped to her feet and tore after the dog. The dog did a 90 degree turn and took off galloping through the apartment with Lily chasing after it.

When Lily and the dog were out of sight, Remus turned to me.

"I swear he asks for trouble most of the time," he said laughing.

"Most? Try all of the time!" I laughed harder.

We heard a crash then Lily curse.

We giggled harder.

Then, Remus turned serious.

"I am really sorry about your mother,"

My grin faded slightly.

"I know. Thanks," I said softly. "But in reality, she wasn't my mother."

Remus nodded looking grave. Then, the dog galloped back into the living room, jumping on Remus and I's lap.

"Sirius, you asked for it," I giggled.

The black dog turned and licked my face.

"Get them off of him! He'll stretch them out!" Lily said angrily pointing to the bra and underwear.

"Guess they won't be able to support anything anymore huh? They'll be falling down south," Remus said with straight face.

I rolled with laughter.

Lily's lip twitched.

"Yes," she replied. "That's exactly it. And I will knock someone out with them if they aren't off that black four legged booger!"

I carefully unhooked the bra off the dog and pulled his paws out of the straps. I tossed the bra to Lily and then helped Sirius out of the underwear and tossed them to her again.

She looked like she was angry, but I saw her ready to burst into laughter. She hurried back into her room and then came back and tacked the black dog. She began scratching his belly.

"Oh I think Sirius would be grateful to you for years to come after this," I grinned.

After a few moments, Lily stopped and Sirius changed back into a human.

He was laughing hysterically.

"You should've seen your face!" Sirius cried clutching his stomach from laughing so hard.

Lily picked up a pair of scissors lying on the end table and opened the blades.

Sirius stopped laughing and cleared his throat.

"Okay…got it," he said holding up his hands defensively.

Remus and I grinned at each other.

"Hey, why don't we go snooping around Diagon Alley for a bit?" Sirius asked cheerfully.

"Sure!" Lily said eagerly as she put down the scissors.

Remus and I nodded eagerly too.

We left and began walking the cobble streets of Diagon Alley. The afternoon sunlight was warm and inviting. There were a lot of witches and wizards out and about this afternoon.

Remus and I walked hand in hand. Lily was on my right and Sirius was on Remus' left.

We saw some of the other students from school as well and they were from our house.

They waved at us and then continued on with their families.

Suddenly, Remus cried out and dropped to his knees. I dropped to mine beside him.

"Remus?" Lily demanded anxiously.

The palms of Remus' hands were digging into his temples. After a moment, he lowered his hands and stared up at us.

"Are you okay?" Sirius demanded worriedly.

"Yeah," he said shutting his eyes. "It was like a vision of some sort."

"A premonition?" Lily asked.

Remus nodded.

"Of what? What did you see?" I asked peering into his face.

"Us…" Remus said his face screwed up in concentration as he tried to remember the details of the premonition. "We were married but there was something wrong…something really wrong with our child. I can't really pin point anything."

"Okay," Sirius said. "We're heading back to the flat."

Sirius and I helped Remus get to his feet. Lily followed behind us. We didn't see the girl standing in the shadows watching us.

Sirius had Remus rest for the rest of the day.

"What on earth could've caused that?" I asked Sirius.

"Dunno," Sirius said shrugging his shoulders. "But we should leave him rest for a bit."

I nodded.

Later on, Remus seemed more like himself and cheerful.

TWO WEEKS LATER.

Professor Dumbledore sent us the new and last list for school supplies. It was kind of sad though. I would miss Hogwarts when we graduated.

We went shopping in Diagon Alley again. Remus didn't have another premonition.

Tomorrow, we would board the Hogwarts Express for the last time too, with the exception of returning at the end of two semesters.

Lily seemed a bit sad too at the thought of leaving Hogwarts behind. Now that James had been gone for almost 9 months now she doesn't know what she would get into for a career. I suggested a Healer.

Sirius joking suggested that she be a Muggle stripper. That resulted in Lily smacking Sirius upside the head with a pillow from the couch.

I really didn't know what I wanted to do either…except marry Remus.

Remus was thinking about teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, since that was his best subject. I said 'go for it'.

So he said he would definitely become a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and work here at Hogwarts.

The next morning, we awoke and got our things ready. We headed to Kings Cross station and waited to board the Hogwarts Express. Students were already there. Some new first years were nervously looking around at everything. The rest were probably second years and above because they didn't pay much attention to what was going on on the station. Only the first years were scanning everything closely.

Remus, Lily, Sirius and I stood close together. Our luggage was already on board the train. It was about ten to eleven when the train left.

Remus was made a Prefect again. He seemed to enjoy it. I guess Dumbledore didn't see anyone else qualified enough for the job.

A first year accidentally bumped her cart into Lily's leg.

"S-sorry," she stammered looking terrified.

"It's okay," Lily said softly. "You're a first year huh?"

The girl nodded looking positively terrified.

"Don't worry," Sirius said. "You'll be fine. Just don't let the squid get to you when you cross the lake in the boat."

That only made the girl more scared.

"Shut up," I hissed smacking him in the head. I turned to the girl. "If you get sorted into Gryffindor you can stay with us. Don't worry about him," I said jerking my thumb toward Sirius. "He's harmless."

The girl cracked a smile and nodded as she hurried over to a woman who was probably her mother.

"You could've really freaked that kid out," Remus said shaking his head.

"He's a putz," I said. "What do you want?"

Sirius pretended to be hurt.

"I was just trying to have some fun. Thanks,"

I just rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the train. Everyone began boarding now.

"Let's go," I said.

We climbed on board and found a compartment to ourselves.

Remus and I sat next to each other. Lily and Sirius were sitting across from us.

I laid down on my back on the seat and rested my head on Remus' thigh. My feet were pressed against the edge of the seat near the wall.

I closed my eyes.

Shortly, I felt the train moving.

About an hour later, I heard thunder clap loudly and opened my eyes. The rain pounded and streaked down against the glass.

"Seems like a bad storm," Lily said peering out the window at the water.

Lightning flashed, and the lights went out in the compartment.

"Aw man," Sirius moaned.

I could see Lily's form in the moonlight through the window. She turned and began walking toward the compartment door.

"Ouch," Remus said.

"Sorry," Lily whispered. "I didn't mean to step on your foot."

"That's not my foot," Sirius cracked. Then, "Ow!"

Lily must've hit him.

"Sorry I stepped on your foot Remus," Lily whispered. "And that was your foot right?"

"Yes," Remus replied but I could tell he was grinning in the dark.

Lily slid open the compartment door and poked her head out.

"Lights out in all the compartments. Must be something with the electrical current," she mused as she slid the door closed and stumbled back to her seat.

"Ow," Sirius said.

"I don't care what it was that I stepped on," Lily said shortly.

I just closed my eyes again.

Lightning flashed illuminating the compartment for a brief moment.

I heard Lily, Sirius and Remus talking but it was faint.

I had dozed off.

A few moments later, I sensed someone standing over me.

I figured it was Remus or Lily or Sirius.

"Are we there yet?" I asked groggily.

"Wake up," a girl's voice said urgently. "You must listen carefully."

"Huh? Lily? What's going on? Why is your voice so soft and urgent?" I asked still not opening my eyes.

"I'm not Lily," the voice continued.

At that, I snapped awake and when the lightning flashed, illuminating the compartment I saw someone standing beside me. All I could see was dark, curly hair. It was a girl. She had a hooded cloak on her and the hood was pulled up shielding her face from view.

"Who are you?" I demanded shrilly. "Were are Remus, Lily and Sirius?"

"They are dead," the girl continued in the same voice. "You must stop me!"

"Stop you?" I asked completely blown away by what she said about Remus, Lily and Sirius.

"I will turn to him. You must help me before the war begins and werewolves and he will be all powerful! Nothing would be able to stop them," the girl continued.

"What on earth are you talking about?" I asked.

The girl reached up and pulled the hood down. It was a wolf head. I screamed.
