Sirius walked into Lupins office after using Floo Powder again. He
stopped just outside the flames, his jaw dropping. Remus and Harry were
there, but so was one of their old friends, Lauren.
"Lauren!?"Sirius asked. She turned to him and smiled.
"Hello Sirius."She said. He walked towards her and wrapped her into a
big bear hug. She laughed, and he let her go.
"ITS BEEN FOREVER!"Sirius said, dropping into a chair. Lauren sat
down.
"I know. I went to France for a while, and then I went to America. I
was there until I heard about Lily and James. I apparated back, and got to
their house at the same time as all the muggles. I helped to keep them
back. I never got to see Harry though."She said, with a sideways glance at
Harry.
"Sorry...but...who are you?"Harry asked. Lauren smiled.
"I was your mom's best friend."She answered. Harry stared at her.
"You knew my mom?"He asked.
"And your dad."Sirius answered. Harry stared at a wall as if
fasinated by it.
"Was there anyone else I should know about?"Harry asked, turning to
Sirius.
"Well....none that I can think of. What about you Lauren?"He asked.
Lauren shook her head.
"Nobody."She answered. Harry sighed.
"Why?"Remus asked.
"Because I want to know everybody who knew my parents."Harry
answered, looking up at him. The clock on the wall chimed nine times and
Harry stood up.
"I've got classes tomarrow, so I'll see you tomarrow."He said. "It
was nice meeting you."He added, looking at Lauren and smiling, then walking
out of Remus's office.
Harry sat down on his bed and picked up the picture again. He stared at it for a couple minutes, then layed down and fell asleep.
"Sirius, did you look at the book?"Remus asked. Sirius shook his head. "No, I didnt."He answered. "Well, look at it."Remus said. Sirius took it out of his pocket and opened it to the front page. ***Lily's Memories*** glistening in bright blue ink on the page, in Lilys neat handwriting. "Remus....where did you get this!?"Lauren asked, looking up from behind Sirius. She was looking at the book over Sirius's shoulder. "Dumbledore gave it to me."Remus answered. Sirius hesitantly flipped the first page. There was a bunch of pictures of nervous first years waving at them.
He flipped the page, and saw a picture of the same people, one year older.
He turned to the next page and saw yet again, the same kids, now 13.
The page flipped again. One picture was of the four boys grinning innocently and standing next to a smoldering statue. In the picture next to it, Lily and Lauren were standing there, trying not to laugh at something unseen.
He turned the page, knowing it would be different. And it was. There,right in the corner of the page, was a picture of a large stag, a huge black dog, a werewolf and a rat.((A/N Grrrr.....stupid rat.....stupid Peter......)) Sirius and Lauren sighed at the same time and Sirius turned the page.
There was a picture of Lily, with a prefect badge pinned to her robes, as she smiled widely. There was another picture of the six of them laughing and pointing at Severus Snape, whos robes looked filthy and his hair was sticking up at at least fourty different angles.
The last page held tons of pictures. One in paticular stuck out. It was Lily and James, holding hands and smiling widely. Sirius leaned forward, covering his face with his hands. Lauren put a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok Si."She said reassuringly. "I remember........once we were all sitting around.....and....we somehow got on the subject of what we were going to do after Hogwarts. Lily and James didn't say anything, but kept glancing at each other. We all saw it....but never said anything..."Sirius said shakily. Lauren nodded, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes at the memory. "We'll find Peter. We'll kill him....not just for Lily and James....but for you too.He made you go to Azkaban. Its all his fault."She said, nodding affirmingly. "Lauren, you never talked like that at Hogwarts."Remus said, surprised. "Two of my best friends werent dead either!"Lauren snapped. Remus nodded, understanding. "LUPIN IVE GOT YOUR STUPID POTION!"Came a loud voice from the other side of the door. Sirius jumped up and pulled some FLoo Powder out of his pocket, handing somet o Lauren. "We'll be back next week Rem."Lauren said, then threw the powder into the flames and stepping in, dissappearing. "LUPIN OPEN THE DOOR!"Snape continued to yell. Sirius threw the powder into the flames and dissappeared.
