Chapter 9

The next thing she knew, she was laying in a soft bed in a large room filled with dozens of other identical beds. A woman was rearranging bottles by a cabinent.

"Where am I? What happened?" Farrah said, her voice nothing but a whisper. The woman turned and smiled at her.

"Your at Hogwarts, dear. You were brought to us by Remus, you passed out in the forest. Everything's alright, just lie back and rest." The woman handed her a glass of water and went back to rearranging bottles.

It wasn't a dream. It was real. Everything that she could remember had happened. But where was Remus?

"Miss...I need to find Remus, or that Dumbledore guy...I have to get some answers." Farrah began to climb out of bed and the woman rushed to her side, shaking a finger at her impatiently.

"I'm afraid not! You have to get some rest, you are not well yet."

"I don't care, I'm going." Farrah said, standing up and leaving the room.

Remus sat worriedly in Professor Dumbledore's office, busily strumming his fingers on the armrest of the chair.

"Remus, calm down. She's safe now."

"She saw me change, Albus...I don't think she'll ever see me the same way again. I'm nothing but a dangerous wolf."

A loud bang sounded in the room as Farrah burst through the door.

"Explain...to....me....everything...now." Farrah said, out of breath.

"Sit down, Farrah." Albus said politely, smiling at her.

Remus couldn't stand to look at her. He didn't want to see the detest in her eyes.

"I know this is hard for you, it would have been hard for anyone. But last night even I learned something. You need to accept who you really are, or else your life will continue to be a lie. You will never forget this and will dwell on it forever." Albus said, his eyes serious and thoughtful.

"I don't care about that...I'm well aware of what I'm facing and who I am... I just want to know what the Deatheaters and the Aurors want me for." Farrah said, as if it were obvious.

Albus bit his lip and looked down at his hands, which were busily strumming themselves together.

"The deatheaters wanted you because you are the heir of Lonna Lindall, their greatest and most powerful leader. The Aurors wanted you because they had made a compromise with the Ministry of Magic that if an heir was ever discovered, that that heir must be sent to Azkaban or killed."

Farrah couldn't take in the information. Too much was happening and she didn't seem the least bit surprised by anything anymore.

"You have to decide, Farrah. Do you want to stay here in the wizarding world and sort out your life here, or do you want to go back to living without knowing what your life could have been?"

Farrah tensed up. "Well...first of all tell me what happened to Voldemort."

"You don't remember?" Albus said, looking almost surprised.

"No...what happened?"

"You killed Voldemort. Well, almost anyways. You destroyed his body but his immortal soul drifted off into the darkness."

"But...how? I don't remember anything after I blacked out..."

"You used the death curse. Avada Kedavra."

"I used...what?"

"The only way I can think of that you knew the curse was because you have your grandmothers spirit in you. The good part of it, anyways. When she died, she made sure that a piece of her would be left to dwell inside you forever, to keep you from straying into the bad crowd. That's where the courage came from, that's where the knowledge came from. Her spirit."

Farrah felt exhausted. "I...I really don't know what to make of all this. Except that I am sure of one thing. If my grandmother had enough courage to give me part of her spirit, then I must be destined to do something with it. If I was able to kill of the strongest evil in the wizarding world, then I must be destined to do so. I choose to stay in the wizarding world, Albus."

Remus suddenly got up and walked out of the room. He couldn't listen any longer.

Farrah saw him and ran after him, forgetting Albus completely. "Remus! Remus please come back!"

He stopped in the hall, and turned around to face her. His eyes held a sadness that Farrah had never seen before.

"I don't want you to leave."

His breath ragged, his swallowed the words like a last meal. Did she mean them?

"Don't you understand why I'm staying? If I hadn't met you, I would never stay in this strange world, I would go back...but I'm staying only because I want to be with you." Farrah felt tears falling down her face at the words, and was choking back the sobs that threatened her.

"You want to be with a monster?"

"I never once thought in my mind that you were a monster because you are not...your a human and if that one part of you changes your whole being then I doubt theres hope for any of us."

Remus felt his heart go light as he watched her walk towards him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close.

"I love you...oh Remus I love you..." Farrah whispered, her throat going dry from the sobs.

He pulled out of the hug and looked into her eyes.

"Remember when I asked you if you believed in soul mates?" he said, his eyes focusing clearly on hers.

"Yes."

"I said that because I felt that you were mine."

Farrah felt her heart skip a beat and stared up at him, her tiny body resting against him.

"I want to marry you..."

Remus couldn't control the emotions he was feeling. It was like a mass charade of butterflies fluttering around inside his heart.

"Then we will get married..." he said quietly, slipping a thin gold band that held a single, glittering opal off his pinky finger. He placed the band on Farrah's ring finger and it fit perfectly.

"I love you, Remus." she said, smiling up at him.

"I love you, my tiny dancer." he said, crushing his mouth down on hers.

Words could not express the endless amount of emotions rushing through the air at that moment. It was literally undescribable.
