Chapter Five:

  Remus shut his eyes painfully. His head felt oddly heavy and it felt like he had a massive hangover, but he was oblivious to the pain. His memories had been restored and the only thoughts that he had where on his daughter, and who she was. Remus slowly opened his eyes and glanced up at Lucius who handed him a headache potion, which he gratefully gulped down. His gaze then traveled to Severus, their eyes locked and an array of emotions passed through the potion masters eyes before he looked away.

  "I'm ready Lucius." Severus said, those three words where going to change his life. He braced himself for the impact of memories that was to come. With a shocking wave of coldness the memories came back slowly at first and then faster as they reached the time of his memory oblivation, and then it stopped. It was done. Severus for the second time this night collapsed on the floor sobbing, one memory stood out above all the others. It didn't make sense at the time that it had happened but now looking back he understood what had happened.

**** Severus had been walking down the corridor that would lead him to Dumbledore's office thinking of Lily, his wife of four months, and of the news that they had found out over the weekend. They were going to have a baby; she was about three and a half months pregnant.  No one besides Dumbledore knew of his and Lily's wedding and they had been advised not to tell anyone until after Voldemort had been killed. Or at least until he decided if he was going to spy for the Order. Because of this they had not told anyone of their good news, they were planning on telling their family's after graduation.

   He had been so deep in thought that he didn't even see his wife walking up to him until he almost walked into her. Startled he glanced up into the emerald eyes of his love.

  "Sorry Love, I didn't see you there. What are you doing here I thought that you had a meeting with Professor McGonagall?" Severus asked confused as to why his wife was coming out of Dumbledore's office.

"Why the hell would I tell you what I was doing you stupid bastard!" Lily said her voice filled with hate.

Severus stood dumfounded staring at his wife. "Lily what in the world is wrong with you, why are you acting like this. You were fine this morning when we left from home?" He was truly baffled at his wife's behavior.

" What are you talking about, why would I be around a worthless piece of filth like you when I am married to James?" Lily said menacingly.

"What do you mean married to James?  Lily, you and I have been married since Christmas!" Severus was starting to panic, who was this woman and what happened to his wife?

" I don't know what the fuck you are talking about! James and I have been married since Christmas and I would certainly not marry a Deatheater!" Lily said vehemently and then without another word she walked away.

 Severus ran the rest of the way to the Headmasters office, panic and fear gripping his heart. He burst into the oval office and was surprised to see that Dumbledore wasn't seated behind his desk but was standing by the window.

 "I am guessing that you want to know what is wrong with Lily?" He asked solemnly.

Severus nodded. "Rest assured, she is absolutely fine but she is no longer any of your concern." Dumbledore said firmly.

Severus was shocked, what the hell was going on he thought to himself! "Sir, I don't know what you mean?"

He said suspiciously eyeing the Headmaster.

"It is really in your best interest, you know." He started walking toward Severus slowly. He put his hand on his shoulder and directed him to the window. Severus glanced out at the courtyard. "It is all in the name of war." And then all was black.

***

Severus was slowly realizing where he was again and looked up into the worried eyes of his two friends. "I need to talk to my son."

Remus nodded understandingly, " Maybe we should bring him and Draco back here to the Manor so that they know what is going on. That is if they are still awake."

"They will both still be up. Concocting a plan to free Ms. Granger from Mr. Weasley no doubt." Severus said standing up and walking over to the fireplace. "Floo to my chambers and then we will go and get the boys together. Lucius I want you to take a copy of this letter to Tom. He needs to know what is going on before we bring the boys back. I am sure that he will want to see his grandson." Severus quickly cast a duplicating charm on the letter and handed the copy back to Lucius. He motioned for Remus to go first. "We will be back here with in the hour." And then in a whirl of green flames he was gone.

***

Draco looked at the brooding man sitting across from him. "You really do love her don't you?" He asked Harry. He watched as Harry slowly turned his head toward him.

"Since the first day that I met her." Harry said quietly and then turning his head back toward the fire he continued watching the flames dancing in the fireplace. "I just wish that there was something that I could do that would spare her all of the pain that Ron puts her through." He said wanting more than anything to just to gather her up in his arms and tell her that he loved her and that he would take care of her for the rest of her life.

 Draco was just about ready to tell Harry that he was getting ready to go to sleep when he heard the common room door open up and jumped up in surprise when Remus Lupin walked in followed by Professor Snape.

  Harry glanced up and looked in the direction Draco was and saw Remus and Professor Snape walk in. Both of them looked like shit. "Sorry we aren't in bed, can't sleep much anymore." He said looking at Remus. He wondered why they were both in here. Professor Snape came in at different times to make sure that everyone was at least in common room but he didn't understand why Remus was here unless something had happened. "Has something happened?" he asked worriedly.

Remus glanced over at Severus he could see the emotions running rampant through his eyes. He was seeing his son for the first time. "Nothing has happened to Ms. Granger if that was what you were wondering. But something has come up but we cannot discuss it here. I need the two of you to follow us, no questions asked until we say it is safe." He looked back and forth between Harry and Draco. "Do you understand?" Remus asked quietly.

 Both boys nodded.

"Good then lets go." Remus said as he and Severus ushered the boys out of the common room and toward Severus's chambers.  As they walked into the chambers Severus quickly cast a silencing spell but motioned to the boys to remain silent. He then waved them over to the fireplace and handed each of them a handful of floo powder. They then watched as Remus went first.

Harry was slightly nervous as to what was going on. Why were they taking them out of Hogwarts to tell them was it that terrible? He watched as Remus walked over to the fireplace and stepped in. When he heard where he was going his eyes widened.

"Malfoy Manor"

Draco looked up sharply at his Godfather, what in the world was going on. Why would they be going to his home at four in the morning, he hoped to god that nothing had happened to his parents. He then felt a hand guiding him to the fireplace and when he looked up he saw a reassuring smile. He gave a slight nod and then Draco stepped into the fireplace and called out his home.

"Malfoy Manor."

Harry looked nervously at his professor.

Severus saw the look on his sons face and smiled warmly at him "Its ok. You will understand when we get there." He motioned for Harry to step into the fireplace and watched as he did so rather nervously.

With a trembling voice he whispered, "Malfoy Manor." And was gone in a swirl of green flames.

Severus stepped onto the spot that his son had just been occupying and for the second time called out Malfoy Manor.
