First Love Never Dies
Chapter 1 Awaking
I sat propped up by almost a dozen white pillows in my hospital bed looking around at the plain white walls that made me feel like I was in a mental ward. Though it was possible I was crazy because I still had not gotten over the fact that I just woke up from a fifteen year coma. After all, not many people get knocked out and wake up fifteen years in the future. I guess I was always the type of person that believes life and everything in it would stop with out me around to be part of it. I should have known better. Just because I was not there was no reason for life to stop.
So much had changed while I was in my coma. My best friend and her husband brought the end to the evil that was rising up before I was put in a coma, though their family was killed (save their son). My other friend was put in jail for murder of my friends that died, his two best friends, Lilly and James Potter and another one of my friends, Peter. All this has happened, and now, I found out that the same evil that was rising up before (the one that my friends destroyed) is coming back. So much live has passed me by. I can hardly believe it is real.
I am so glad that the medwitch was able to rebuild my muscles so I would not have endure physical therapy, as I would have if I were in the muggle world). I feel so alone right now. I wish I knew somebody was out there waiting for me, but I doubt there is. Everyone had moved on, forgetting all about little old Gwendolyn Rivers. I wish I had someone here to talk to. I would even be happy to see Lucius Malfoy or Bridget Strong.
"Gwen?" a small timid voice asked from the door. I knew right away who was there. I turned to conform my suspicions by seeing Remus Lupin standing in the doorway, grinning ear to ear. He looked just like I remembered him, a boyish beauty. His hair hanging over his hope filled eyes. Before I knew what was going on Remus had his strong arms wrapped around me holding me tightly and I was in tears. I hated to cry but I was so overwhelmed by seeing a friendly face that there was nothing left to do but cry. I had no job, no home, and very little money. Plus I lost so many of my friends.
"Remus," I whisper. "How could Sirius kill Lil's? How could Sirius kill James, after all, he was the one person who cared about him more then anyone? Why would Sirius kill Peter? Sure he was annoying, but still!"
Remus let go of me and first looked confused but then smiled, a smile that chilled my blood as he said, "Peter's not dead, and he is now a death eater. He framed Sirius and faked his death to avoid suspension. You should have known he could never, and I repeat, never kill James. Sirius, though, is now dead. He gave his life to help out Harry. He was killed by Bellatrix."
"Really?" I questioned softly. I wanted to believe him but I was so confused. I did not like to hear one thing and be told another. It confused me too much.
"I would never lie to you Gwen, you should know that by now," Remus said softy. I snorted trying to hold back my laughter, which I failed miserably at. I could not help but giggle uncontrollably at that line. He turned to me and asked, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"What about every single full moon up till our sixth year?" I asked with an impish grin.
"Okay, but those do not count. It is not everyday you come out and say you are a werewolf." Remus said. "Other then that there is nothing."
"Okay then what about the time you tricked me into going into Professor McGonagall's classroom. You told me you were going to help me with the homework we had that night. Incase you do not remember, when I walked in I got covered in orange slime that smelled like James and Sirius's socks. Do you remember that time or do you need more? I could go into more; I got all the time in the world." I reminded him. "Or how about the time you gave me that candy, saying it was a new gummy, that turned my tongue purple and furry?"
"Those were the good old days." Remus said with was laugh, "Oh come now, I may have lied more then Lily, but do try to compare my lying habits to Sirius and James."
"Okay, but that means it takes James and Sirius to make you look good. Now, that is definitely not a good thing." I laughed along with him. I was glad that I still had Remus to laugh with, one true friend, and it was a plus that I was alive. We laughed for around five minutes at the good old days, when everybody was still alive, until the medwitch walked in.
"I am sorry to interrupt but you just received an owl." A medwitch said from the door. Remus and I looked at each other, our laughter dying down slowly. The nurse walked briskly over, handed me a letter, and appertained out of the room leavening Remus and I alone once more. I think she thought it weird that two adults were laughing so madly like little kids when someone says but.
"Who sent you the letter? Open it and find out." Remus encouraged.
I opened the letter terrified of what it would say. I noticed right away that the letter had the Hogwarts seal. I instantly thought the worst, that was until I read:
Dear Miss Gwendolyn Brooks,
I am glad to have you once again apart of our world. I would also like this opportunity to inform you that we are looking to fill our Defense Against The Dark Art's position for the upcoming year. I would like to know if you would be interested in the position. I will await an owl with your reply.
-Headmaster Albus Dumbledore
"He wants me to be a professor at Hogwarts," I said quietly. Then I yelled "Awesome! I get to be a professor! The students will have to do as I say because I will be the professor! Remus, hand me some parchment! I am going to be a teacher at Hogwarts!"
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this new chapter...I know you did Bookie..I promise there will be no romance with Moonie. Please RR and flames with be used to warm a fire for Sirius and James.
