Chapter 13 Realisation
The next couple of weeks were pretty uneventful. Just the usual classes, study for the NEWT's and the occasional pranks on Snape. But Lily was growing weary because not one of her friends had noticed the bracelets that she had given everyone for Christmas. So she thought that she might need to speed up the process up.
It was Friday and everyone was at the Great Hall eating dinner, so Lily took this as her queue.
"Um guys," she said to the Callipsos and the Marauders (minus Peter because he was hardly ever around anyway). Everyone looked up at her and she continued. "I was wondering if we could all go to the Room of Requirement because there's something I want you all to know," everyone looked puzzled but nodded their heads all the same. "Um we'll go after dinner, alright?" everyone nodded again. So Lily resumed eating.
After dinner they all got up and walked to the Room of Requirement and Lily walked in front of the painting three times until a door appeared in front of them. When Lily opened the door the room was set out like the common room. They all walked in and took a seat. James and Sirius were on the armchairs. Remus, Bekka, Elissa and Yazmin were on the couch; Lily remained standing and started pacing.
"Hey Lil, if Remus says that I can't pace neither can you, it's only fair!" Sirius said pouting. Lily stopped and looked at everyone in front of her. They all had a worried expression on their face.
"Lily, is everything alright?" Bekka asked. Lily just looked at her trying to figure out how to tell them.
Lily took a deep breath in and said,
"Ok. What I'm about to tell you may come out as a shock and secrets will be told that you didn't think I knew about. And a realisation of what is to come will be hard consider." Everyone was passing side-glances at each other, thinking that they know what's going to be said, but at the same they didn't. "Will everyone please just stop throwing side glances at each other, it is really giving me the shits! And it's making what I have to say so much harder." Lily shouted so that everyone would stop. At that moment Lily got out her wand and flicked the door open to find a confused 7th year Ravenclaw student.
"Please come in Brad. You're late." Lily said and shut the door behind him.
"Yeah sorry Lily got lost, never been up her before." Lily nodded and Brad went to sit next to Yazmin but since there wasn't enough room on the couch Elissa transfigured a chair and sat on that.
"Ok now that everyone is here, I would like you to all pull up your right arm sleeve and put your arm into the middle of the coffee table." Everyone was confused but did as they were told. When this happened they all noticed that they were all wearing the same type of bracelet but the charm on them was different.
"Wow, look Lil look! We all have the same!" Sirius said pointing.
"Good observation Sirius." Elissa said in an enthusiastic voice, Sirius gave a nod and had a huge grin on his face.
"Anyway as you all have noticed you all have similar bracelets on." Lily lifted her sleeve too and put her arm in too to show. "And as you can see I have one too." Lily pulled her arm back and everyone did the same.
"And now I will tell you what are on your bracelets and how I know this and how this came to be." Everyone nodded. "Ok, Remus you have a werewolf because you were bitten by one when you were little." Remus nodded gravely and the girls and Brad all looked momentarily shocked. "James you have a stag. Sirius you have a large dog. Bekka, you have an owl. Elissa you have a cat. Yazmin yours is a lion and Brad yours is a lion as well. You all have these charms not because I thought they were your favourite animal, but because you are all animagi." They all nodded in agreement. "On my bracelet there is a phoenix because I too are animagi." There was stunned silence for a while before Remus spoke up.
"Um Lily. It's all very good and all that you sprout everyone's secrets without their consent and that you didn't tell us privately, but why are you telling us what we are? And why haven't you continued with your little speech?" Lily looked shocked at what he had said.
"A speech? A speech! Remus how dare you! I'm trying to tell you all something extremely very important and you throw it back in my face!"
"Well Lil, you haven't quite told us what this is all for yet, so we're all pretty confused." Sirius spoke up before Lily decided to attack Remus.
"Well I was getting there, but it's very hard to put into words." Sirius nodded.
"Well take your time and please don't leave anything out." Sirius said sympathy in his eyes. Lily nodded to Sirius and looked back to everyone.
"Ok, let me start from the very beginning. I was born into a pureblood wizardry family. Now the legend of my family is that every generation should have a daughter. My family made these bracelets in the time of Merlin. In fact Merlin help make these 8 bracelets. The reasons these bracelets were made was because Merlin saw that 8 young witches and wizards in the time to come with the animal aura that you have, will be the first step in defeating the dark lord of the time. Well each generation went by without a dark lord or the bracelet owners coming into light because they weren't the chosen ones. The bracelets were put away safely until the mother of the daughter knew that her daughter was possessed by the animal on the head bracelet – a phoenix." Lily took a deep breath and continued.
" My real mother died trying to get myself and these bracelets to safety. The family that brought me up was there when my mum was calling for help still clutching the box with the bracelets in it. My mother told the woman what the bracelets were and whom she should give them to. I wasn't told about the bracelets until a week before the muggle woman died. She gave me the box with the bracelets in it and told me the story that was told to her and told me that I was the one that possesses the gift of the phoenix and all the powers that come with it. I knew that the other 'chosen ones' would be in our year level because your animal aura doesn't shine until your about 16-17. Even if you did what the Marauders did the animal aura wouldn't appear until later.
"The power that the bracelets have is that if we're all together we can emit a power like an Avada Kadava, and separately we can track each other when we are lost or captured. It also flashes a bright blue colour when we're in trouble. If you guys haven't figured it out yet the dark lord we have to first defy is Voldemort, it is not our job or our purpose to kill him, it is not written and Merlin only said that we will only first defy him. Generations after us will have the purpose to kill him. We are just the first major step in his downfall. Also He who wears these bracelets is destined for each other in all the lifetimes to come. That was in the ancient script that Merlin wrote. So you guys figure it out. It's kinda pretty obvious our eternal love of life is right here in this room." Lily finished smiling chuckling silently to herself.
There was silence after that for quite a while, so Lily transfigured a chair and sat in that. There was silence for about 15 minutes until Sirius said-
"Well…I bags Lily!" everyone looked at him confused.
"Um…Sirius, what do you mean?" Bekka asked.
"Well it's quite obvious really. She said whoever wears the bracelets your eternal love of your life is one of them. So I thought I might get in first and say that I bags Lily. You know I got dibs."
"Sirius, I don't think you quite understand the concept of true love. So let me fill you in. True Love chooses you and not the other way around. Besides, me being the type of head of the group I already know who is going to get with who. But before you ask me, I'm not going to say because its something you figure out on your own." Lily said. Everyone looked at each other thinking about who was going to get with whom.
"Ok now that all of you have heard what I wanted to say is there ant questions?"
Brad, Yazmin, Bekka, Sirius and James all shook their heads.
"Liss, Remus do you have any questions or queries?"
"Are you sure that these bracelets cannot be tampered with?" Remus asked.
"Yep, I'm totally sure. No one but me can take them off because I'm the type of bracelet keeper. They will only come off when you die or when I take them off your wrists."
"Are the bracelets are always correct?" Elissa asked.
"Yes I'm totally and completely sure. And also all of you must know that you cannot tell anybody. Marauders that means you can't tell Peter. Brad that means you can't tell anybody as well."
The boys nodded. Lily had had suspicions about Peter ever since Christmas. As the bracelet keeper she could always tell the suspicious ones and people who were lying to her or other people.
"Also if you didn't know, I will know if you tell anyone." Everyone nodded. "If any of you have any more questions come and ask me." They all nodded again. "Well I think that that's all. If there isn't anymore questions I think we should get to bed." Everyone stood up and Remus and Sirius started whispering to each other then nodded.
"Um Lily, James can we ask you some questions?" Sirius asked. "Girls if you could stay behind please. This concerns you too."
"Um well I'll be outside saying goodnight to Brad, I won't be long." Yazmin said and Sirius nodded. They all waited for a couple of minutes and Yaz hadn't come back yet so Elissa stood up and said-"I've had enough of this.", and walked to the door and opened it to find Yazmin and Brad snogging the life out of each other. Elissa rolled her eyes and grabbed Yazmin's hand and started to drag her back into the room.
"Liss! Liss! What the hell do you think your doing?" Yazmin shouted while squirming in Elissa's grasp. Yazmin waved goodbye to Brad turned to Elissa.
"Whatcha do that for?"
"Well, Minny, we were all waiting for you and 5 minutes had gone past and you hadn't come back so I thought I'd make sure you hadn't lost consciousness from snogging Bekka's cousin."
"Eww, he's your cousin?" Sirius said scrunching his nose up in disgust.
"Yes, Brad is my cousin. Ok, you two stop that staring competition right now!" Bekka shouted the last sentence at Elissa and Sirius. "And will you please just sit down!" She shouted again. Everyone was surprised because Bekka never shouted. Except that time in the middle of the year when she found out Yazmin and Brad were going out. But other than that, hardly ever. The girls sat down very quickly and they all turned to face Sirius. Remus nudged him and he realised that all of them were looking at him.
"Huh, what? Oh right." He cleared his voice and stood up and put his hands together and closed his eyes and looked from Lily to James.
"Prongs, Lils. It has been a couple of weeks since we got you both on talking terms." They both nodded. "Yes well anyway we all would like to know what you both talked about, you know since we did help, we.." Remus coughed. "Ok fine I would like to know what yous talked about. I.." Remus coughed again. "I mean Remus thought it would be a good idea that the rest of us were here as well." Sirius sat back down in his chair.
Both Lily and James looked at each other and Lily nodded.
"Well… Sirius and the rest of you, the stuff we talked about were, in order just for you Sirius, were…"
