James was too upset to even remember what Remus told him about Romulus. James decided that he was too much of a hazard to his friends to stay at Hogwarts any longer. He walked out the doors with only his wand, an extra set of clothes and BooBoo Stag, determined not to come back. He left his friends a letter though.

Romulus became agitated as he searched for his twin. What if Remus had forgotten their pact? Voldemort was so insipid. He'd written that letter to Remus to try and keep them apart. If the twins were on the same side, their cunning and brainpower might hold the key to Voldemort's downfall. Romulus had to make Remus remember.

Sirius buried Andrew's body in the forest, and then came back up to Rebecca, who was still terribly upset.

"I'm going to be arrested. Sirius-"

Sirius put a finger to her lips. "As long as no one knows, then nobody can care. You're feeling guilty, I'm well aware, but you don't look ashamed and I'm not scared. Self defense is not a crime."

Riley realized what Jason was doing a split second after he started. She went with it for a moment then used her wand to remove something he'd surely miss. Cackling, she left. Remus was waiting for her outside the Slytherin Common Room entrance. He noticed her fading smile, and disarrayed clothing. This made him lose his temper, something only Riley could make happen, and jump to conclusions. "Whore!" He growled before he could stop himself.

"What," demanded Riley, "are you going on about?"

"Why else would you be up there?"

"Oh, like you and Katrina together was nothing! Remus Joshua Lupin, the term 'whore' doesn't even apply here, as I'm still a virgin! Thus, proving you are not only a selfish basturd, but also totally inane!" Now Riley lost it and punched Remus, almost knocking him over, then jumped out the nearest window, landing on her feet, and walked away. Remus stood in disbelief. What was wrong with him?

Romulus rounded a corner and was looking at a mirror image of himself. "Remus?" he whispered so low only a wolf could here. "We have to talk."

"About what? How bloody bad you want to kill me?" hissed Remus.

"Remus, I didn't write that letter! Don't you remember our pact?"

"We never made a pact! This is the first time I've seen you since birth!"

Romulus noticed the bruise on his twin's eye. Neither of them bruised easily. "Please Remus."

"Romulus, no. Just leave, I don't want to hurt you."

Sighing Romulus said, "I'd hoped it wouldn't come to this..."

Lily was the only one to receive James' letter. By the time she'd found it, he was gone. How could this be happening? She went to the dorms to find her friends, and saw Rebecca crying on Sirius. Riley however, could sense the pain of her best friends, went wolf and headed up to them, in her wolven form she could smell the trail of Andrew's scent. Up in their dorm, all was explained about Rebecca, but what was wrong with Lily?

Groggily, Remus opened his eyes. He was outside, tied up, and in a circle of bushes. Why did people keep knocking him out today?

"I am sorry about this, Remus. But it has to be done." As Romulus materialized from the shadows, Remus saw a glint of metal in the light of the pale crescent moon. As his sharp wolven eyes focused, he saw it was a gold knife with a running wolf etched into the metal blade. Remus couldn't bring himself to defense; he was in too much shock.

Romulus walked over slowly and took his twin's hand in his own. "Your blood," Romulus sliced open Remus' hand, "My blood," He cut his own hand, "Our blood!" Romulus pressed their bleeding hands together.

In a brilliant flash of pure white light, long forgotten memories came back to Remus. The first was Remus saying he'd found out that the prophecy was a hoax, and Remus doing the blood procedure for Romulus and himself. They'd been nine years of age at that time. He also had a flashback of the pact that they'd made so long ago. It was all so clear now. Voldemort had taken the real prophecy and replaced it with the one of separation, to keep them from joining forces.

Rebecca pulled herself together as Lily told her about James.

"Me and Remus will go after him, if that's ok with you, Bec, wait, where is Remus?" Sirius said.

Riley rolled her eyes. "Hopefully playing in traffic."

"What happened?" demanded Rebecca.

"Nothing important, Sirius go find Wolfboy," Riley said in response, "And if you need help finding James let me know. Lily and I will take Rebecca to the kitchens to get something to calm her nerves."

Sirius nodded. It was so hard to hold himself together right now. The girl he loved killed someone, now the Potter's, his parents just as much as James' were dead. How could James leave? To many people needed him! Sirius changed to a dog with a small pop and found Remus' scent. Moments later Sirius became increasingly confused as his canine eyes fell upon what appeared to be two Remuses! Wait, is that Romulus? Padfoot growled and tackled Romulus to the ground.

"Padfoot!" yelled Remus, pulling him off. "It's ok, he's my twin and NOT trying to kill me!" He added putting extreme emphasis on the not. Padfoot looked at questioningly, silently asking if Romulus could be trusted. Remus nodded. Sirius transformed back into a human taking Romulus by complete surprise.

"I hope," grinned Sirius, "for your sake, you're good at keep secrets."

Lily kept watch in the common room in case James decided to come back. Around 3:45 a.m. she heard a movement and with a flick of her wand all the lights were on and there was James trying to sneak either out or in, with a backpack.

Lily strode over and began to hiss at him furiously. "Potter! How could you be so stupid? You should know all of us are here for you! Remus, Sirius and Riley are out there looking for you right now! Which really isn't good 'cause Rebecca needs all of us too! Do you have any idea how worried I've been?"

James took all of this silently as he couldn't get a word in. He needed to talk to her but she wouldn't shut up! James did the only thing he could do to get her attention he kissed her.

Riley cursed to herself as she searched the Potters' manor. "Just like a guy to run off. Stupid men."

"We aren't all that bad." Sirius remarked coming thought the door to James' bedroom.

"You say that now."

"What about Remus?"

"Do not," hissed Riley, "talk to me about him."

Sirius decided to let it go at that. James wasn't at the Potter manor and Remus just checked in with them via fireplace from the Three Broomsticks, James wasn't there or at the Leaky Cauldron. Sirius and Riley apparated (No not illegally, for once! In America, you can get your license at 15, which they did, cause I said so.) to Hogsmede, then walked up to the castle. Sirius noted that Remus was walking ahead of them and shouted for him to wait up. Sneering Riley said, rather loudly, "Oh, Remmie wouldn't want to walk with a nasty whore like me," went wolf and ran back.

"What the hell is going on?" Demanded Sirius.

"Now will you listen?" Lily nodded numbly. "Good." James said. "I came back because I realize how immature it was of me to leave. I'm sorry, I know they need me."

"I need you too, James." Whispered Lily.

"What?"

"I need you also! It's not just them!" cried Lily embracing him, "And you need up!" Lily looked up at him, her face stained with tears. "Voldemort got my parents too, I just got the letter."

"Bloody hell." James sank down in a chair with Lily in his lap. "It's ok, Lily, we'll get through this, together."

Thus, Riley found Lily and James in the chair. Lily crying, James looking angry at the world, she also noted that Rebecca had crept down and was sitting with the two of them. Riley said down in front of Lily and James' chair, saying nothing. She knew that being there was enough.

Sorry that was so short, but the next chapter will tie up all the loose ends and be longer, I promise, that is if anyone besides Yavanna and Danni are still reading this. Please give me a review I need some feedback on how this is going. Till next chapter peoples.....
