Note: Hey guys Happy Summer Vacation to those of you who are done with school for the next 2-3 months or those of you who are taking a year off or something for college. I don't know how old you guys are so yeah... Anyway on with the chapter!
After the encounter with Draco Malfoy, Lily had become slightly curious as to who else was different from their future selves. However there wasn't really much to find out since everyone that she saw was either the same as in the future or dead. The only person that was truly different was George. Lily had never seen him so full of life. Sure in her time, he was cracking jokes, smiling, playing Quidditch with her and the rest of the family, etc. But it always seemed like something was missing inside him, whenever Fred's name was mentioned he would get this look on his face and it would get very quiet. Not this George though. He always had a smile on his face and his eyes were shining with laughter. He was whole. She knew from what she had heard her parents say that George had changed after his twins death, but she never really thought that it would be as much a difference as there was.
Then there was her father, or well future father. Harry seemed to be so much more on edge. It was understandable since Voldemort was still alive in time, but now that she was experiencing it firsthand she understood the jokes that Ron had always made about him be so uptight when they were younger. She also learned how quickly they all had to grow up. While her and her brothers and cousins would play and goof around, they were fighting for their lives and facing evil that none of them could ever imagine.
Then there was the thought the came to her and scared her more then she would admit. She didn't know how long she was going to be in this time, so there was a pretty good chance that she was going to facing some of that evil herself. Though if she remembered correctly the worst of it happened at the end of their fifth year. So she didn't worry too much, ok that was a complete lie, 100%. Lily also had to worry about Umbridge.
'Toad' She thought, 'Well at least one good thing will come from all this.'
She would make sure that she got to help the twins when they pranked her because even though she doesn't really know Umbridge, from everything she's heard; Lily already hated the 'new' DADA professor. Lily would also get to meet Cho Chang, someone to this day her mother wasn't fond of. However out of everything, the one thing that she was most excited for was Dumbledore's Army. She loved hearing stories about it and couldn't wait to be a part of it.
"Lily?" Came a voice that pulled her out of her thoughts.
She looked to see Remus standing in the doorway to her room. At first Remus had come off a little cold, but the more that she got to know him the more she realized that he's just like Teddy. The way he talks, the way he hold himself. She also learned that Teddy is a lot like Tonks. His sense of humor, his being a Metamorphmagus of course, though he didn't get her clumsiness.
"Yeah?" She said sitting completely.
"Molly wanted me to come tell you that dinner's ready."
Lily nodded and stood up and headed to the doorway, right before she was going to walk passed him, Remus stopped her.
"Before you go, I just want to ask you one thing. It that ok?" He asked looking her in the eyes.
"Of course."
"Is there anything that you're hiding from us? Because if there is we really need to know."
Lily froze for a moment then replied, "Remus have you ever had a secret that you had to keep? That if too many people knew about it could turn bad because they wouldn't understand or might treat that person differently?" She saw the facial expression on Remus's face chance and she knew she was getting somewhere, but who far? She didn't know.
Remus nodded, "Yes, I did, but the time came when I wasn't able to keep it a secret anymore and that there was no point in even trying to do so."
"Well then trust me when I say that the time will come for me too, but that time is not now." She said, but wasn't completely sure that it would work, "Remus over these past few weeks you've never given me a reason to not trust you, and I will continue to trust you until you give me a reason not to. So please do the same for me, trust me on this, at least until I give you a reason not to."
Remus stared at her for a few moments longer before speaking, "You remind me of a girl that I once knew Lily. She trusted what people had to say and that they're intentions were pure until she saw otherwise. She was bright, kind, protective, and loyal until the very end. Though I've only known you for a short time, I see a piece of her in you."
Lily knew exactly who Remus was talking about and she actually had to hold back tears for a split second. That was probably one of the best things anyone could have ever said to her.
"And for that reason," He continued, "I'm going to trust you until you show me otherwise, just like you do and just like she did."
"Thank you Remus." She said softly.
He gave her a smile, "Now come on, let's go downstairs before all the foods gone."
She laughed slightly knowing that he was partially serious, then ran down the stairs to the kitchen.
As she sat down she knew that she had just accomplished something big, she gained Remus's trust, something that was difficult to gain. All it took was for him to see that she was like her grandmother. Somehow to her out of everyone, it meant the most to her that Remus trust her, maybe it was because of how important he was in her family or maybe it was because he was so close to her grandparents. Now she had both Remus and Sirius, but when she got back would she still have them there? No should wouldn't they'd be dead..
'Or would they?' She thought to herself. If she couldn't save either lives or even all four lives including Tonks and Fred, she would at least save one.
