Chapter 5
"Come in."
The 4 of them walked in and Callie took the invisibility off of Sirius. "Have a seat, this will take a while." Dumbledore said.
They arranged themselves on the couch in this order from left to right: Callie, Remus, Sirius, Karina.
Dumbledore paced from left to right. Left to right. Left to right. The four of them followed him until he stopped in front of them. "Well, before we get any further, Karina, I have to make sure...you know you've made a bad choice, right?"
She lowered her head and nodded.
"And you don't want to be with Voldemort, right?"
She nodded again.
"Well, thats going to be hard to do. Once you join him, you've joined him."
"But theres something you can do right?" Sirius asked.
"Yes. Yes of course. There are two (2) choices. One: Do what Severus is doing. Two: go into hiding until he's defeated."
"What's Severus doing?" Karina asked quietly.
Dumbledore paused and said, "I can't tell you unless you promise it will remain between us and if I tell you, that's what you have to do."
"It has to be better then hiding for who knows how long?"
"That's what JaMeS and LiLy had to do." CaLLiE spoke up.
"That was different." KaRiNa said.
"They still hid."
"I see what you mean, Sirius." KaRiNa whispered to SiRiUs. CaLLiE rolled her eyes.
"Enough." DuMbLeDoRe said firmly. "What do you choose KaRiNa?"
"What SeVeRuS is doing."
"Spying."
"All right. I'll do it. He may have to teach me, but I'll do it." karina said making a decision quickly. Too quickly Callie thought. Then she came upon a horrifying realization. Dumbledore had just told her Snape was spying...if Karina was still with Voldemort then that means that Voldemort now would know too. Karina sent a glance at her right then that could only be one thing: pure evil. Callie then got all dizzy again and put her hand to her head. Remus noticed. "You all right?" he whispered.
She didn't say anything. It hurt to move.
"Callie?"
After a moment, she nodded slightly. "Yea, I'm ok now."
"Now?"
"Uh huh."
"What happened?"
She felt Karina staring at her. "Nothing. I'll tell you later." she muttered feeling worse off then before.
"Okay." he said, giving her a concerned look. Dumbledore dismissed them, warning them not to go back to their original house and told them they could stay in the castle. "Can I see Harry?" sirius asked.
"Yes. Be careful though."
"We will. I wanna introduce him to you Karina. James's son. Remember him?"
"Yes. He was only one last time I saw him." Karina said thoughtfully.
"Can you walk?" Sirius asked.
"I can try." Karina said and stood up slowly, supporting herself on Sirius. She tried to take a step, but couldn't. "I must be getting better though." she said.
"Yea, and thats good. Well, come on, I'll carry you. Dumbledore, where should we stay?"
"I can get two rooms from the staff corridors, but not a room for each individual. You can decide amongst yourselves who will be staying with whom."
"And, sir...the full moon--" remus started.
"--Is tomorrow night. Yes, I know, the shack will be fine, I assume?"
"Yes."
"Very well. Come along and I'll show you to your rooms." he said. They followed him and he showed them two rooms that were of normal appearence. Callie followed, feeling horrible. What was wrong with her? She could barely walk.
Once Dumbledore left them, it was automatically decided that Sirius and Karina would share one room and Callie and Remus in the other. Remus didn't mind though...Callie was more like his little sister then Sirius's. She felt the same towards him. Sirius had never really bothered with her.
"We'll meet you in about an hour for dinner, Remus?" Sirius asked.
"Yea, that'll be fine." he said and they walked into separate rooms. Looking around his new home for a little while, he saw it had two beds--one on one side of the room, the other on the opposite--a fireplace, and a couch and chair with a little coffee table near the fire. Callie lay across one of the beds face up with her hands covering her face and her eyes closed tightly.
"Callie, are you ok?" Remus asked crossing the room to her.
"I don't know." she said sitting up and brushing the hair out of her face.
"What's wrong?"
"I couldn't tell you. I ache all over and I can barely walk...I don't know why I'm so sick all of the sudden...I was ok earlier."
"Maybe you just need some rest. It's been a long day."
"Maybe." she said, and Remus could tell she probably felt horrible...if she were normal she would have talked more.
"Why don't you lay down for about 45 minutes and I'll wake you up for dinner." Remus offered.
"Thanks. I think I will." she said lightly and lay down.
Remus stole a glance at her before leaving and saw she was fast asleep. He walked over and put his hand to her face...she was freezing. He put an extra blanket on her and left over to Sirius and Karina's room.
Remus had his hand on the door knob and was about to open it when
Sirius opened the door. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Just a second. I was about to knock, but you opened the door." Remus said, "Why, what'd I miss?"
"Nothing. We were going to visit Harry before dinner. You coming too?"
"Sure."
"What about Calista?"
"No, Callie isn't coming. She's feeling a bit ill."
"Oh. Too bad." he said not sounding sorry at all. "Well, lets go. Karina's feeling better enough to walk."
"That's good. Wonder why you were feeling a little weak to begin with, Kari?" Remus asked as they traveled down the stairs to the main halls.
"I think because of the rain." she said, sounding more like herself. "I was out in it when it was freezing for about an hour or two."
"Whoa."
"Yeah."
They walked past the Transfiguration room and to the Gryffindor Common Room. No one was in the hall, but Sirius had to be in dog form--just in case.
"What'd Hermione say the password was again?" Remus wondered aloud.
"Lion's Den."
"Thanks Karina." he said as they walked in the portrait hole to meet none other than Harry, Ron, and Hermione themselves. "Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione." Remus said.
"Professor Lupin!?" they said jumping up and coming over to them.
"How are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Is Sirius here?"
"Where's Callie?"
"Who's this?"
The three of them said all at the same time.
"Hold on. Hold on. We're all fine. We're here on business for Dumbledore, Snuffles is right behind me, Callie's up in bed because she's feeling sick, and this is Karina...Sirius's fiance. Did I answer all your questions?"
"What kind of business?"
"Whats wrong with Callie?"
"His FIANCE?"
Remus laughed. "Can we go someplace more--erm--private?"
"Where?"
"Come up to our "dorms." and we'll talk." Remus said with a smile. "Follow me."
They went back up to the teacher's corridors and Remus lead them to Sirius and Karina's room. "Finally. Peace and quiet. Now, what all do you want to know? And what's been going on here? Make yourselves comfortable." Remus said as Sirius transformed back.
Harry and Ron started to speak at once, but Hermione stopped them.
"Well, what kind of business are you on, whats wrong with Callie and Sirius has a fiance?" Hermione asked.
"OK, in answer to your first question, its private business...sorry. Anyway, how have you all been. We'll answer everything else later? Harry, have you had any weird dreams?" Sirius said.
"No, I've been normal lately. I won the Quidditch game GrYfFiNdOr vs. SLytHeRiN a couple nights ago." Harry announced.
"Excellent."
Ron and Harry then began to describe the game--word for word, detail for detail. Hermione's thoughts wandered. What was wrong with Callie? It wasn't too serious, right? She seemed okay before....then she asked herself, why are you so worried? she's probably just tired, geez, Hermione, dont worry so. But still, something made her think that something was going on. "May I speak with Callie?" hermione asked suddenly.
Ron and Harry scowled at her for interrupting, but Remus said, "Sure. If shes awake. Just let yourself in...password's marauders...right across the hall."
"Thanks." she said and left.
"Marauders." hermione whispered at the door across the hall. The portrait swung open and Hermione stepped in the dark room with the door closing behind her. "Callie? Are you awake?" she whispered.
"Who is it?" Hermione heard a quiet voice whisper.
"Hermione. Remember, we met in the hall earlier?"
She heard a sigh of relief. "Come in dear. Could you turn on a light?" she asked.
"Yeah. Where is it?"
"Over by the window."
Hermione did so and looked around the room. It looked cozy. Callie was in a bed on the opposite side of the room. "Remus said you were feeling sick. I decided to visit...whats the matter?"
"A little of this and that." Callie said.
"You look horrible." Hermione said, only now realizing the dark circles under her eyes on Callie's pale skin. She put her hand to her face, which was now hot as ever. "And your burning up."
"I'll be fine. I don't get sick often, so when I do get sick, I get a little worse off then most people."
"How'd you get sick? You were all right earlier."
She shrugged and then winced. "I dunno. It happens I guess. Anyway, how are you? Tell me about yourself."
"You sure you want to hear about my boring life?"
"Oh, no lives are boring."
"Mine is. I was muggle born, I get high grades and I'm a prefect."
"Haven't been on any adventures with Harry and....Ron?"
"Well....there WAS in first year....and second with a basilisk.....and third....and last year..."
"Well, tell!" Callie said smiling warmly.
Hermione took 45 minutes to tell her all about their adventures. When she finished, Callie's eyes were wide. "And you said your life was boring?"
Hermione blushed. "Well, what about you?"
"My life's too long to tell." Callie said simply. "Plus, I don't feel like telling much right now. Hermione, can I ask you a question...and maybe tell you something that no one is to know?"
"Yes of course." Hermione said curiously, "What?"
"What do you think of Karina?"
"Karina? You mean Sirius's fiance?"
"Yes her. What do you think of her?"
"Ummm, well she didn't exactly talk, so I guess I couldn't tell you. Why?"
"I think theres something about her---this is going to sound really stupid---but I think she's evil. She has the Dark Mark, but claims to be on our side. She said she regretted all she did in joining Voldemort and she wants to change. She seemed ok at first, but then whenever I was going to apparate over here, I had to do a Double Apparation and she did something to me. I looked her in the eye and I felt horrible. It lasted for about a minute and then just when I thought my head was going to explode, I was ok. It was as if nothing had happened...Karina said she was ready to go and we apparated over. Then, when we got here, I fainted and I NEVER faint. And now, when we were meeting with Dumbledore, she did that thing with her eyes again, and I felt horrible. I could barely walk back to the dorm, and now I feel a little better, but not much. But Hermione, you can't tell a soul. Promise."
Hermione's eyes were wide and she let out her breath slowly without even realizing she was holding it. "I-I promise." she stuttered. "What do you think's up with Karina? Shouldn't we tell Sirius and Remus and Dumbledore?" she asked.
"That's the problem. I don't know. Should we? I told Remus, but Sirius hates me...I couldn't tell him. and Dumbledore--"
"--why's Sirius hate you?"
"Who knows? He always has and I haven't the faintest clue why." Callie said.
"Hmmm."
"Yes. Hmm."
Hermione laughed. Then, turning serious, she said, "Well, just watch out for Karina. I'll keep an eye on her too."
"Yes." then her face twisted and she put her hand to her head. "Ow." she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Callie, are you all right?" Hermione asked worriedly.
Callie shook her head no.
"Should I get someone? What can I do?"
"Just stay here. I'll be fine in a second." she whispered and then she turned normal again. "All right. When I meant a second, I didn't mean literally, but...."
"Callie what was that? What happened?" Hermione asked urgently.
"I dont know. It's happened before and usually happens every time Karina glares at me, so maybe shes thinking of glaring at me and it happened or something."
"Callie, you're not making sense. What?" Hermione asked softly.
"Nothing. Never mind." she said. "I suppose we should get ready for dinner, eh?"
"Um yea. Are you feeling up to it?"
"No, but I might as well try."
"Can I sit with you at dinner?" hermione asked.
"Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way." Callie said, but she seemed a little dazed.
"Are you SURE you're ok?"
She nodded and tried to stand, but collapsed back on the bed. "Everytime I stand, it's like the world is spinning so quickly I can't see." she said worriedly. "Hermione, what's wrong with me?"
"You probably just have the flu. Here, I'll take your temperature with my wand." she said, holding her wand to Callie's forehead, she whispered something and after a minute the wand beeped. "Revelio tempero."
The numbers "103.2" twisted out of her wand.
"Holy-Callie, you're real sick. Lay in bed, I'll bring you dinner back from the Great Hall. Better yet, I'll bring us both dinner from the Great Hall. You need to rest." Hermione said, "and--" she went to the bathroom and brought out an ice-cold, wet cloth and placed it on Callie's forehead. "Keep that there, we need to bring your fever down."
"But I'm fine." Callie protested.
"No you're not." I'm going to get us dinner. Go to sleep, I'll be back in a couple of minutes." hermione said.
"Fine." Callie gave in and leaned back on the pillow.
As soon as Hermione left, Callie was asleep. While she was gone, someone slipped out of her room with the rest and into Callie's room. She put her wand to Callie's heart and whispered a few words. With that, she left, feeling stronger already.
