When One Door of Happiness Closes, Another Opens
Chapter 1: Waiting's Over
It's pouring rain. It has been raining for a week solid. Everything is gloomy and depressed, everything from the grounds to the students. Even the Hogwarts castle itself seems less cheerful.
The Gryffindor Common Room wasn't even inviting anymore, yet all the Gryffindors were cramped together waiting for the news. Waiting, that seemed to be all everyone was doing lately. For what? No one knew, but they knew it involved he-who-must-not-be-named, and was ultimately bad.
There was a quite murmur about anything other than the news and you-know-who. Although every now and then someone would yell about hating to wait, most were silent.
At last, Professor McGongnall came into the room via the portrait. The usual stern faced, composed woman looked utterly devastated. She looked over the room of pale students and bowed her head. After what seemed like a moment of reflection, she looked up and spoke.
"Will Mr. Lupin and Miss Evans please follow me?"
In the corner by the window, a petite red-haired girl looked up as her name was called out. Her vibrant emerald green eyes filled up with tears, yet none came. She rose from her sear, and walked slowly to stand by the Professor.
At the same moment, a solemn faced boy with light brown hair and matching eyes, also took his place by the Professor. In silence, they took their leave.
The two sixth year students followed their teacher in silence still. The boy, Remus Lupin, was looking at his feet with a worried expression on his face while the girl, Lilly Evans, looked straight ahead with a determined look, and hands clenched into fists. Every trace of the earlier tears were gone.
When the trio finally reached the entrance to Professor Dumbledore's (the headmaster) office, the silence was broken by Remus.
"Professor, my parents aren't – they aren't....."
"No, no. Mr. Lupin, your parents are just fine, in fact, they're up there waiting for you." Professor McGognall replied.
"Well then what....." He was cut off with a wave of her hand.
"Not here, not now." With that they proceeded up the stairs to the headmaster's office.
