Coming Together

By Lady Lupin

Chapter Two: Telling Stories

The next morning a young 14-year-old girl woke up in the African Jungles with a very strange dream.  It was about five people she had never met; yet they seemed familiar.  She went to tell her mother, knowing there was something odd about the dream.

"Mum, I had the weirdest dream last night," the woman turned around, whipping her long black hair behind her.

"Yes Anya?" The girl was almost a mirror image of her mother; she had the same black hair, and her face the same shape.  The only true difference was in the eyes.  While her mother had crystal blue, Anya had deep chocolate brown eyes.

"Well it had five different people in it, that I've never seen before, but they seemed really familiar." Her mother's eyebrows arched.

"Really?  Well tell me about them then."  She looked at Anya expectantly.

"The dream started out with a boy with really messy black hair, glasses and bright green eyes," she paused and her mother nodded persuasively, even though her eyes had widened. "He was with two other people, a boy and a girl.  The boy had flaming red hair, blue eyes and was extremely tall.  The girl was not very tall with bushy brown hair and cinnamon brown eyes.  They seemed to be discussing something serious, because they had grim looks on their faces.  I couldn't hear anything they said, the dream was totally silent.  Then it shifted to two men your age.  One was tall with black hair, and blue eyes, but they looked as if something terrible had happened to him.  And the other man had brown hair that had gray in it, even thought he wasn't old, and he had weary brown eyes.  They also seemed gloomy and looked like they were in an Inn.  I think they were traveling by Apparation.  And I did hear them say one thing.  It sounded like, 'Seriously we will find them.' Then I woke up and came to you." Anya peered up at her mother, who seemed stunned.  She grabbed her daughter's shoulders.

"Go and tell you aunt to come over here.  Then find your brother and cousin.  We need to talk.  Go quickly" She pushed her out the door.

Lenora Ann Lupin (formerly Black) collapsed in a chair in her living room and took a few deep breaths.  Almost immediately Nyah Sydney Hunt ran into her house.

"Lenora, what is it?  Anya said you wanted me over here and that you have sent her after the boys.  You know it'll take her forever to find them and to bring them back, she'll probably have to resort to spells." Nyah looked at her anxiously.

"Anya's had a vision." She told Nyah softly.

"That should be good, right?" Lenora shook her head and told her what was in the dream.

"OH! ….Lenora you don't think it the boy is Harry, do you?  And" Nyah gulped, "those men, what if they are Remus and Sirius?  What do we do?" Lenora sighed.

"Ny, I think it's time we told them what really happened and who they really are, they can't think they are Smiths anymore.  It looks as if things are suddenly changing."  Nyah nodded in agreement.  They watched each other nervously as they waited for their children.  Finally a half an hour later Anya walked in.  Floating behind her were the boys, binded and silenced.  Lenora chuckled in spite of herself. (A/N: We are going to pretend that in Africa there is no rule saying no magic over the summer. Besides, they were home schooled.)

"Alright Anya, let them go." Anya smiled evilly and ended the spells.  The boys fell to the floor with a thud.  They stood up and brushed them selves off, looking surly.  The brown haired blue-eyed boy turned to Lenora.

"Mum!" He whined, "Rion and I were playing Quidditch!  And Anya left our brooms out there!" Lenora smiled.

"Then summon them you silly git, and I'm sorry to bother you, King Romulus, but this is rather important." She looked over to Nyah who was basically telling Orion the same thing.  They boys summoned their brooms (Nimbus 2000) and sat down.

"Mum, does this have something to do with my dream?" Anya asked quietly.  Lenora smiled sadly.

"Yes this is almost all because of you vision.  Now well all need to see it, so I'm going to cast a spell that will show the dream to everyone in the room." She turned to Nyah.  "Ready?" she asked her, Nyah nodded resolutely.  Both women had tears in their eyes at the thought of seeing Remus and Sirius again, even in a vision.

"Extracto Sensorum,"  Lenora cast the spell over everyone.  Before them they saw two boys and a girl discussing something, but the scene was silent.  Then it flashed to two men, both looking much older than they should have.  They heard a faint, "Seriously, we will find them," and the dream came to a close.  Lenora looked at Nyah, whose face was streaming with tears.  Lenora could feel tears of her own running down her face.  The children looked bewilderedly from witch to witch.

"Mum?" Orion ventured tentatively.    

"It's time Lenora," Nyah took a deep breath. Lenora nodded. She too took a deep breath.

"I guess we'll start with your fathers.  We told you they were dead, right?" The teenagers nodded.  "Well those men in Anya's vision are them, and they are alive."  They gaped at her.

"The man with the black hair is Sirius Black, my twin, Nyah's fiancée and your father Orion."  Anya's head shot up. 

"But you said you two were sisters!" Lenora smiled sadly.

"We lied.  Nyah's your aunt because in every way but law, she is my brother's wife.  We had to leave before they could get married, but she was already pregnant with Orion." Orion looked from his mother to aunt.

"And the other man is…?" Orion asked, Nyah answered her son.

"Lenora's husband Remus Lupin," She said sadly.

"But why aren't we with them?" Anya asked

"Anya you were born during the darkest time ever recorded.  Your father and uncle insisted we take you and go somewhere safe.  Our other friends James and Lily Potter and their son Harry had already hid, using our last friend Peter as their Secret Keeper.  We left the morning of October 31st, a day earlier than planned, and arrived at a safe house in France.  We were sure we were being followed and left the house almost immediately, going to the Apparating point in the woods near the house.  As we turned to Apparate, the house exploded.  We knew we were very lucky.  The next morning we arrived in Spain, and read the newspaper.  Which said that Lily and James had died, and Harry, who had defeated Voldemort, was going to live with Lily's family.  And that Sirius Black, my silly childish brother, was convicted of killing 13 people, including Peter.  And he was sent to Azkaban." Lenora broke off, unable to continue and Nyah picked up the tale.

"We were devastated. We knew something was terribly wrong.  Sirius would never kill anyone, and would never do anything to jeopardize his family.  Then it hit us.  I knew Peter was the Potter's secret keeper, not Sirius, as everyone else had assumed. He had betrayed the Potters to Voldemort and set Sirius up.  There was nothing we could do.  Remus had put a spell on us that made it impossible to come home with out him and Sirius.  We were stuck.  So we traveled farther south and stayed hidden, because the Death Eaters still could be after us even if Voldemort wasn't.  We found this village and stayed, teaching you magic ourselves when the time came and making sure you knew you were English, and that you had no reason to be friends with Africans or learn the language.  You see, we were still very nervous and that's why you weren't allowed to make friends.  We stayed pretty much out of contact from the wizarding world until 2 years ago.  We learned that Sirius had escaped from Azakban.  At first we had hopes that they would come and find us.  But we realized that they must have thought us dead, from the explosion.  So we concentrated on you, knowing you were all the family we would have for a long time." Nyah wiped away a tear.  "And one more thing, Romulus, Orion, I'm sorry but unfortunately Remus and Sirius have no clue you exist.  We never got to tell them before we left.  And Remus' spell made it so we could have no contact with anyone." Nyah sunk into her chair and cried silently, as Lenora had been doing for a few minutes.  Orion went to comfort his mother while Romulus and Anya went to Lenora.

"Mum, we are glad you decided to tell us, but why now, and what does Anya's dream have to do with anything?" Rom asked, confused.

"Because Anya is a Seer.  She can see things as they happen, have happened or will happen.  You see, Remus is a werewolf, and when a werewolf and healer mate, something happens and their first child is a seer."  Lenora looked at Anya proudly.

"So that means that our father and uncle are really traveling by Apparition?" Anya asked stunned.

"Yes, and by judging what they said in the vision, they are looking for us.  And honey, Remus didn't say 'seriously' he said 'Sirius Lee we are going to find them.'  Our mother named him Sirius Lee Black."  The three chuckled, in spite of the sad mood.

"So Lenora, you think that the 'them' is us?" Orion asked skeptically.

"Yes I do.  They seemed to be in Spain somewhere judging the Inn.  And believe me, with Sirius an escaped prisoner, they wouldn't travel unless necessary." Everyone cheered up at bit at the prospect, but they Orion got a puzzled look on his face.

"Mum, Lenora, who were the people in the first part of the dream?" Lenora looked at him.

"I believe that it was Harry and some of his friends." She told him simply.

"Harry Potter?  The one who was orphaned?" Anya inquired, she seemed keen to know who this boy was (A/N: Hint, Hint, Hint).

"Yes, why?" Lenora looked surprised.

"How could you tell, you haven't seen him in fourteen years." Romulus demanded.

"Hun, even as a baby Harry looked like James, and now its uncanny how much he looks like James did, and those bright green eyes he has could only be Lily's." Lenora looked at Nyah.

"He'd be going into his fifth year at Hogwarts, right Ny?" She inquired.  Nyah nodded.

"Do you think, Len, that he and Remus know that Sirius isn't the one who betrayed James and Lily?"  Lenora shuddered at the prospect of them not knowing.

"I hope so,  but Rem wouldn't be with him if he didn't know." Lenora pointed out.  Anya interrupted her.

"Mum, let me get this straight.  Our fathers don't know any of us are alive, yet you think they are coming to find us.  How can you be so sure!?"  She seemed frustrated.  "And what is this Hogwarts your talking about?"

"Anya, dear, Voldemort is rising again.  Dumbledore, his most powerful adversary, will be reinstating the Order of the Phoenix.  All of us, James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, Peter, Nyah and I, were part of it,  Dumbledore doesn't give up on people very easily.  Our bodies wouldn't have been found and someone could have seen us and it got around to Dumbledore.  He would have most likely convinced them to come after us." Lenora smiled at her daughter's confused face.  "Don't worry, just believe me, and by the way Hogwarts is the school we all went to when we were kids, it's where you would be if we were home." Anya just shook her head.

"Whatever you say mother, I'm still confused though." She thought of something.  "Hey, Mum, don't we have a lesson today with Professors Lupin and Black?" Anya's eyes sparkled with mischief at the joke and reminded them of Sirius, and Remus at the same time, they smiled.

"Oh, YOU!" Nyah swatted at her.

"Well if you want I suppose, Anya, I can begin with the song charms. 'Rion, Rom, Nyah could probably show you the Polyjuice Potion, you should know it," the boys groaned but Anya smiled, happy to get off the subject that made her mother and aunt cry so.

~~~~~~~~~

They worked for the rest of the day, stopping for lunch sometime after 12.  Then they got back to work, Nyah working with Anya, and Orion and Romulus went to work with Lenora.  Around six they all finished.  Nyah and Orion had decided to stay for dinner and they had just started cooking when a heavy knock sounded at the door.  It was accompanied by a great booming bark, Nyah and Lenora froze.  They knew that bark.  They had heard it so often that they could have recognized it in a coma.

"You three are to stay in here and you cannot leave unless we come and tell you differently." Lenora commanded them as she and Nyah ran towards the front door.  Lenora reached it first and with a shaking hand opened the door, revealing who was on the other side.
