Chapter 4: Memories Best forgotten
Ok it isnt very long, but the next one will be i promise
The sun rose again the next day, just as it always did. Neenu sat on the edge of her bed, dreading the day's events. Her fate rested in these peoples hands; she just hoped they could be trusted.
The door opened downstairs and the screams of a certain painting rung into the silence.
The noise pounded in Neenu's ears, making her head ache. Frustrated and upset she took out her wand and raced downstairs.
Though, when she had reached the bottom step, familiar faces froze her on the spot.
Dumbledore stood staring at the girl, as she stared back, a look of pain appeared on the headmaster's face.
So many memories, so many things you wish you could forget.
Dumbledore quickly turned and headed for the kitchen.
"I know him, I've seen his face somewhere before" Neenu whispered to herself, memories trying desperately to break through
The other members of the Order quickly followed in Dumbledore footsteps, grabbing a quick look at Neenu at she gaped at all these faces she knew but couldn't remember why
Then finally one face she knew very well appeared before her, his own face looking just as shocked & welled up with emotion as her own.
Neenu tried to speak but words just wouldn't appear, here was someone she hadn't seen in more than ten years.
"Serverus..." she finally muttered
She had known him since she was only a baby, he had been there her entire life, and until he deserted her when she needed him the most
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she waited for some sort of response.
Single glassy tears slowly descended down Severus's own cheek as time seemed to stop.
A smile spread across Neenu's face and went to step closer, but Snape suddenly turned and followed the others.
Dejected & alone Neenu slumped down against the banister crying of seclusion.
A arm wrapped itself around her shoulders as she sobbed, that calming voice like wind spoke to her softly
"I'm sorry; this must be very hard for you"
"What the hell would you know!!?" Neenu yelled pushing the arm away
"I don't know and that's why I'm sorry. You've been through so much for such a young life"
"Why are they afraid of me?! Why doesn't anyone want me!?" she cried into Reamus's shoulder
"Because of what you were & what you could become I suppose. But I don't fear you and I won't abandon you"
Neenu cried out, so familiar were those wonderful words, she had heard them spoken before but not by Reams, but by her Angle in the Dark
"Before we go in I have one thing to tell you though Neenu, and it may upset you, actually I'm sure it will"
Neenu sat up and looked at Reamus with apprehension
"Sirius is dead, Neenu"
His words rang into Neenu's mind for a while she thought she must be dreaming, the one person she had escaped to be with & to see again was dead. She couldn't handled this anymore, Reamus's words were the final straw
"NO!" She screamed as she flung Lupin against the wall & apparted away from the sadness
