"Lupin?" Harry said, totally shocked. (a/n: hehe, what were you thinking?)
Lupin hissed at him to be quiet.
"But..but..you were missing!"
"Harry, I know what I did. You do not need to tell me that people thought I was dead. The truth is I have been acting as this Reco man since August. Around the middle of July, I 'disappeared' from Grimmauld Place, so this new peroson would not look so suspicious."
Harry was shocked. Here was Remus Lupin, a nice guy, living a lie to Dumbledore, all of Hogwarts, and himself.
Harry said, somewhat angrily, "How is 'Reco' going to just disappear, and then, poof, you're not dead? How will you explain where you have been for months, with no contact? Where is Reco going to go? Is he going to go missing, tou?"
Lupin calmly replied "Harry, shh. The thing is, when my cover is blown-and I'm sure it will be-no one will really care, now will they?"
Harry's mind had moved to other disturbing facts.
"Why did you change into this 'Reco', anyway?"
Lupin sighed deeply. "I needed to tell you that I heard about-about something awful that's going on."
Harry was annoyed by Lupin's extreme vagueness.
"What's going on?!?"
"I'm afraid that I've been sworn to secrecy on that matter. I just thought that you should be warned. Warned that you are not to go looking for trouble. Please, you have saved the day enough times already. I'm afraid that this time, saving others, could...could...could make you lose your life."
"Voldemort's coming here, isn't he?" Harry said in an oddly calm, comprehensive tone.
"I'm afraid-well, yes, that's what I heard. But you must adhere to the rules-that is, if you value your life."
Harry nodded, even though he knew that he would end up searching for Voldemort anyway.
"Now, you cannot tell anyone anything that you have heard from me tonight. Understand?"
Harry nodded once again.
Lupin rummaged in his pocket, then brought out a small, blue rock. He set it on a low branch, pointed his wand at it, and muttered "Portus."
"This will take you to the Gryffindor common room. Ready? 3...2...1..."
Harry felt, yet again, that feeling of a hook jerking somewhere behind his navel, and, in a swirl of both light and darkness, found himselft in the deserted common room, stone in hand.
a/n: surprising, eh? yep, major turning point...sort of. wow, i uploaded two chaps in one day! maybe i should do this more often...it feels great!
