Thank you for all your reviews!
Lil Lupin- I know that once Sirius' name is clear, Harry can live with him, but I think it is more fun by putting him as Remus' roommate. And Sirius did care about Harry in Chap 1, just that I forgot to write Sirius' question about Harry in, : p
Culf- Remus will tell her that he's a wizard, but not now and not in the near future either.
Chapter 3: Watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
"Hi Remus!" Alexandra called and Remus turned to her after making sure that Sirius was not lurking around. "Hi, Alexandra. Can we go in now?"
Alexandra shook her head. "No, we have to buy our tickets first."
"Good, you pay for your ticket while I pay for mine." Remus said, taking out his wallet.
"Fine with me." Alexandra said and they made their way to the ticket counter.
Remus gave his Muggle money that he exchanged at Gringotts that morning to Alexandra and he waited patiently when he heard Alexandra saying to the ticket lady: "Two tickets for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
Remus went pale immediately. "What did you just say?" He asked frantically.
Alexandra turned to him. "That's the movie title, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I thought that it would be quite interesting to watch that. Thanks." She said when the lady passed her their tickets. "Why? You don't like Harry Potter?"
"Of course, he's my favorite student." Remus said automatically. "I mean, Harry Potter is my favorite character." He corrected quickly when he saw Alexandra's confused look.
"Great, for a moment I thought that you might not like it." Alexandra smiled. "Want to buy some popcorn?"
"Pop-what?" Remus asked in confusion.
"Popcorn."
"What is popcorn?" Remus asked when he realized that he asked the wrong question.
"You don't know what's popcorn?" Alexandra asked and bought herself a small bucket of yellow stuff. "This is a bucket of popcorn. See? It is covered with honey."
Remus stared at it. "No thanks."
"Oh great, now she probably thinks that I am some Muggle that come from some countryside." Remus thought flatly.
***
"Oh look, the movie is starting." Alexandra said excitedly while Remus folded his arms, wondering what does the kid that the Muggles get to play Harry look like.
"I should have known that you will be here...." Richard Harris smiled. "Professor McGonagall."
The cat transformed into Maggie Smith. "Good evening Professor Dumbledore. Are the rumors true, Albus?"
"I afraid so Professor, the good, and the bad."
"And the boy?"
"Hagrid is bringing him."
"You think it is wise? To trust Hagrid with something as important as this?"
"Ah Professor, I would trust Hagrid with my life." Both Richard and Maggie turned and watched Robbie Coltrane riding on a motorcycle.
"Hey, that's Sirius' motorcycle!" Remus said. "How did the Muggle know how to fly it?"
"What?" Alexandra asked.
"Nothing." Remus said quickly.
"Albus, do you think it is safe, leaving him with all these people, I have watched them all day, they are the worst kind of Muggles imagined. They really are-." Maggie and Richard finished her sentence, "The only family he has."
"You can say that again, McGonagall." Remus muttered.
Robbie sniffed and Richard turned to him. "There, there Hagrid, it is not really goodbye after all."
Robbie nodded and Maggie watched as Richard placed a letter with the words "Mr. and Mrs. V Dursley 4 Privet Drive Little Whinging Surrey" on it.
"Good luck. Harry Potter."
***
The movie went on until the part where Uncle Vernon pushed Harry into the house and grabbed his hair.
"What happened?"
"I swear that I don't know! One minute the glass was there and then it's gone! It's like magic!" Daniel Radcliffe cried.
Richard Griffiths pushed him into the cupboard under the stairs. "There is no such thing as magic!"
"How dare you treat Harry like that." Remus said and scowled.
"Horrible, isn't he?" Alexandra whispered.
"You knew, you knew it all along and you never even told me!" Daniel exclaimed.
"Of course we knew, how could you not be! My perfect sister being what she was. My mother and father were so...proud when she got her letter. 'We have a witch in the family, isn't it wonderful?' I am the only one who could see what she really was, a FREAK!" Fiona Shaw said in disgust.
"Lily is not a freak!" Remus protested loudly.
"Remus, what are you doing?" Alexandra said in shock.
"Sorry."
"Never. Insult. Albus. Dumbledore. In front of me." Robbie warned and put a pig tail on Dudley's behind.
"Wow! So that's how Hagrid did it! I'm going to praise him when I got back to Hogwarts! Serves that pig right!" Remus said excitedly.
"What?" Alexandra asked.
"Nothing."
"First, you have to understand this Harry, it's very important. Not all the wizards are good. Some of them go bad and a few years ago, there is one who went as bad as you can go. And his name was Vol- sigh, his name was Vol- ." Robbie couldn't say the word.
"Maybe you could write it down." Daniel said.
"Nah, I can't spell it. All right, Voldemort."
"Voldemort?" Daniel asked.
"Shh!"
Daniel looked behind him.
"It was dark times, Harry, dark times." The screen flashbacked into a hooded figure walking. "Voldemort went to gather some followers, brought them over to the dark side..."
As Remus watched the hooded figure pointed his wand at a keyhole, he wondered which family was the Muggles portraying on. Then he frowned. Wait a minute...the house looked familiar..
"Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead."
The screen then showed a red-hair woman looking horrified and screaming in silence.
Remus went pale. "Lily?" He whispered. The actress (Geraldine Somerville) looks too much like Lily herself, and the resemblance scared him.
"Your parents fought against him. But nobody lived once he decides to kill them."
The screen then showed Geraldine screaming in terror and died as Voldemort pointed his wand at her.
"LILY!" Remus shouted, standing up.
"Remus! What are you doing?!" Alexandra asked in shock.
Remus sat down, with his hands shook as he continued to watch the scene where Voldemort pointed his wand at the baby.
"Nobody, not one. Except you."
Remus swallowed and clutched his fists tightly. He is going to hate Voldemort more than ever.
***
"You won't make a fool of yourself. It's in your blood." Emma Watson said.
And the screen showed Emma pointing at something in a glass case.
"Wow! Harry, you didn't tell me that your father is a Seeker too!" Rupert Grint said in awe.
"That's not right, James is a Chaser, not a Seeker." Remus protested.
"You read the book too?" Alexandra asked.
Remus stared at her, wondering what book was she talking about, but he nodded to play along with her.
The movie went on and showed Daniel opening his gift.
"What is it?" Rupert asked.
"I don't know, some kind of cloak.."
"Well, put it on then."
Daniel put it on and his body became invisible.
"Hey, James' invisibility cloak doesn't look like that!" Remus protested.
"Sh!" Someone hissed from behind. "Will you shut up already?!"
"Sorry."
The screen showed Daniel walking towards the Mirror of Erised and images appeared. Remus swallowed at what he saw.
"Mom?" Daniel asked.
Geraldine nodded.
"Dad?" Daniel asked again.
The actor who was playing James Potter (Adrian Rawlins) smiled and nodded.
Geraldine's smile faded when Daniel tried to touch her and Daniel looked disappointed.
"Aww." Alexandra whispered.
***
When the movie was about to end, Robbie gave Daniel an album. "This is for you."
Daniel opened it and saw a picture of Geraldine and Adrian playing with a baby. Daniel smiled as he watched Geraldine and Adrian kissing the baby. "Thanks Hagrid." He said and hugged Robbie.
Remus closed his eyes and let his tears flow. It seems only yesterday when Lily and James were showing him Harry and Harry put James' wand into his mouth, sucking it like a lollipop. James had to spend a long time trying to get his wand back. Harry even cried when James got his wand and he cried so loudly that Remus and James had to cover their ears. In the end Lily gave Harry a sugar quill and Harry went quiet, sucking his quill.
But that was years ago. Lily and James are dead. Betrayed by that traitor Peter Pettigrew and killed by that monster, Voldemort. Remus lost all his closest friends with the death of the Potters and imprisonment of Sirius in Azkaban, all because of that rat.
"Remus? The movie is over...Remus, are you all right?" Alexandra asked in concern.
"I'm fine." Remus said, wiping his tears away.
"Oh my God, you are crying..." Alexandra started.
"No." Remus lied. "Come on, let's go."
***
"Hey Remus! How's your date? I got a mail from Harry, he said that he loves that book!" Sirius put down his quill and chattered when Remus stepped in and stopped when he noticed that Remus looked totally upset. "What happen? Did you two quarrel or something?"
Remus shook his head slowly.
"Then what?"
"Sirius, do you still think of Lily and James?" Remus asked.
"Yeah. Sometimes." Sirius admitted. "You know, I still remember the time when James asked me to be Harry's godfather....why do you want to ask that for?"
Remus shook his head and walked slowly upstairs, muttering something that sounds like "Goodnight."
Sirius looked after him, shrugged and returned to his letter to Harry but the more he tried to write, the more he thought of what he had seen at the scene where Lily and James died.
Debris of their house.
And their bodies.
James just lied among the debris, looking at him with lifeless eyes. He still had his wand clutched in his cold hand. Lily with her face down....
Sirius stared at the letter and put the quill down. Suddenly he didn't feel like writing anymore.
