The Summary: .......
The Rising
"Fainted, twice this month-It's not even past September Albus-I'm worried"
I stirred, hearing soft voices. My eyes flickered open.
I saw three figures talking silently among themselves four beds away from where I lay (Hospital wing, I groaned inwardly).
"It's my fault- I shouldn't have just came and walked in the boy like that.....I-I can't be his guardian, Remus can you-" a familiar voice rang louder than the rest.
"No" a firm (Professor Lupin, I recognized at once) voice declared, "I will not be his guardian for you Sirius (my stomach lurched), he's your son"
"But the boy- James, he wouldn't even look at me" the louder one argued.
"He needs time" a quiet (Albus Dumbledore) interrupted. I was practically leaning forward towards them, catching every word until-
"WOAH-AH" I fell on the floor, loosing balance (I hate these beds, I thought irritably)
Thud.
Pounding footsteps. Three huge adults in their nightgowns looking strangely at me.
"James" Lupin surprisedly exclaimed, as he held out a hand.
"Hi" I muttered taking his hand, and was yanked up.
"Professor Dumbledore" I looked up at Dumbledore, trying to sound as surprised as I could.
"James" Dumbledores' eyes twinkled amused, "I see you have a knack of falling off beds"
"Yeah" my face was burning.
Suddenly Dumbledore coughed, "Well, I must get going to bed, after I help myself with some hot chocolate......." with that he turned not before saying, "Good Night"
Watching Dumbledore leave, Lupin faced me. "So-I understand you're all right now"
I nodded, trying not to look at Sirius's face who looked strangely concerned at me.
Lupin sighed and instead of going to out like Dumbledore, he sat at the bed nearest to my own, glancing thoughtfully at Sirius and I.
I shrugged for no reason and sat down on my own bed, waiting for someone to utter an intellegent statement.
"Er-Professor Lupin?"
"Yes James?" Lupin looked at me with sudden interest to what I was going to say.
"Er-Do you know why I fainted?"
Lupin shrugged before heaving a great sigh, "Pressure, tragic events-I'm sure you can relate"
I stared at him.
Lupin let out a small smile, "It will be okay soon-once the whole mess is cleaned up"
"Sirius" Lupin suddenly said. I jumped slightly, realizing that HE was with us right now.
"Remus?" Sirius appeared in the dim light.
"Let's go sleep, it's getting late"
Taking a last look at me, Lupin went out with Sirius with a half-smile on his face.
I saw the door quietly close silently behind them, I layed on my bed wishing I could sleep. So that I could escape this horrible world.
***
"We're going to HOGESMADE!!!" we roared, as people around us stared as if we had just came out of an insane asylum. Actually, we have just came out of Transfiguration. Not much of a difference.
"Can't wait, heard lots about it-" Jay excitedly whispered as we gathered to the Great Hall.
"Yeah, its November-Christmas season's coming," I thoughtfully pointed out and then added, "How much are you gonna bring with you?"
"Ten galleons, you?"
"Same here," I muttered, "Let's see, that'll stock us up with plenty of Dungbombs for the rest of the year"
"Yeah, I kinda was tired of borrowing the twins' bag of tricks-brilliant- but nothing can beat a Dungbomb" Jay declared.
I laughed, as the Professor McGonagall started to drone about this year's extra security at Hogesmade.
"You know-Harry reckons he knows a way to Hogesmade through Hogwarts-You think that's true?" Jay looked at me.
I shrugged, "Probably"
"We will leave shortly, as soon as we notify...."McGonagall droned.
Jay rolled his eyes, "I think we need to give her a Dungbomb"
***
"Can't believe it's actually snowing here in November!" Jay chattered, glancing at the white that fell upon everywhere.
Too cold to reply, I nodded.
" 's go to Three Broomsticks-heard their butterbeer was good" Jay spoke, as we made our way through the other students, into the small inn.
The warmth instantly spread through us, the cold air disappearing behind the wooden door.
"I'll go get the drinks" Jay offered springing towards a pretty witch serving a couple of warlocks and wizards in the corner of the bar.
Slowly walking towards an available table, I sat down rubbing my hands together.
I waited until Jay appeared with two huge tankards of butterbeer.
"Here you go James" he handed me a tankard. I gratefully took the warm tankard and drank its hot liquid.
"Wow, it is pretty good" Jay drank deeply.
I looked around surprised that Madam Hooch and Professor Lupin was there also in another table, keeping an eye around the area.
"The teachers-" I looked at Jay.
Jay shrugged, "Probably cause you know-heard from a certain Weasley that each Hogwarts teacher was assigned to each store here in Hogsemade-you know, have to look out for some peculiar things......"
I stared at him. Realizing what I was doing, I quickly took another gulp of butterbeer.
"When are we going to Zonko's?" I asked wondering how long we were going to stay here.
"I don't know" Jay shrugged, "after this I guess"
"Good enough for me" I glanced around feeling comfortable. Warm. Happy.
Suddenly a high shriek screeched out, Jay dropped his tankard leaving a mess on the floor. Unable to figure out if the scream just came out of inside or outside I stood up, looking around.
Silence flooded the bar. Professor Lupin and Madam Hooch suddenly stood up, taking control.
"What in the name of-" Jay started as the crowd of witches and wizards started to crowd around the window. None of them daring to use the front door.
"It came from outside" I breathlessly mumbled, my heart pounding. What-Who in the right mind would shriek-unless-unless........
"Oh my" a woman near the window fainted her hand on her lips.
"It's him! It's HIM!" a drunk warlock screamed.
Chaos seized the inn, screaming, crying, and praying. Meanwhile tankards were being dropped, chairs falling, and tables being turned over.
Jay looked at me his eyes wider than usual. I choked.
"Voldemort" I was an emotional wreck. A feeling I couldn't identify seized me. I flung myself towards the door my hand gripping on my wand.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Jay grabbed my shoulder, I spun looking dazed.
"It's Voldemort, it's Voldemort, its-"
"For Merlin's sake can you not say his name!" Jay furiously shook me. "C'mon James get a hold of yourself-You-Know-Who can't be here!"
A flash of green lighted the room through the window.
Jay paled. I stumbled backward unable to hold back a gasp.
"The Dark Mark" a weak wizard pointed looking at the sky, and fell faint next to the window.
At that time, I was trying to breathe. Exhale, Inhale, c'mon James, simple breathing, exhale,.....inhale.
A tiny explosion exploded in the room. People fell silent.
We looked and saw, a very alert looking Professor Lupin and Madam Hooch (her lips quivering) standing in the middle with their wands raised high.
"We must act cooperatively" Lupin looked around the room and looked especially surprised to see me on the floor dripping with butterbeer. With a quick glance around the room, he nodded at Madam Hooch and continued, "We will investigate, what is going on outside-meanwhile we would appreciate it if you will keep your coolness and wait. Do not cause panic"
Another scream followed by mutliples of shrieks was to be heard outside.
Unable to contain it, I closed my eyes.
"You may all go to Hogwarts, through the two fireplaces that are in this room" Lupin's voice tried to override the noise outside. "Would you have Floo Powder Madam Rosmerta? Ah-yes thank you......" Lupin looked around the silent room, "For those who feel their own homes would be safer or somewhere besides Hogwarts, please calm down and Disapparate, or you may get splinched."
With a quick nod, Lupin and Hooch walked to the door, the room crowded with people already have begun using Madam Rosmerta's Floo Powder, some Disapparating.
As Hooch went out, Lupin paused and looked at me, he slowly hesitantly walked towards me. I was still on the floor dazed, Jay next to me with a similar expression.
"Quickly make yourselves to Hogwarts-notify Dumbledore, make haste" with that said, Lupin strode out the door, the winter air bringing an unpleasant chill down our spine.
