Okay, we all know the formal introductions from the other chapters so to start this off, we'll do it simply. Don't forget to check the profile box for news or updates or future stories to be coming. I own nothing but Laini and Tally/
----------------------------------------
The two girls woke up days later in the Hospital Wing of Hogwarts. Tally was the first to realize they were alive; she turned and looked at Laini's still figure.
"Laini? How'd we get here?" She whispered, looking slightly alarmed. "Is the war over..."
"I don't know."
"Glad to see you ladies awake and well." A cheery voice called, entering the room. His long silver beard hung past his hips and his twinkling blue eyes danced across each girl's pained faced.
"Sir Dumbledore!" Laini exclaimed, knowing her place now that she and Tally were graduates of this school. He smiled and nodded.
"I found a worn out owl trying to follow me on my journey across the Sierra Desert and noticed he was, in fact, trying to give me a letter of warning, from two ex-students of mine who were in need of some assistance. But upon my arrival I realized Dementor's surrounding something like vultures and concluded that neither of you had made it out of Hogsmeade after delivering my letter." Dumbledore said, grinning slightly.
"Is the war over? What happened?" Tally said, trying to skip his explanation.
"The war, I'm afraid, has killed many and is still proceeding as we speak." Laini and Tally both sat up suddenly, attempting to leave. "But." Both girls stopped at once, "Your friends are all okay, three, as I believe are resting in the next room and Miss Lily is attending some of the others."
"Sirius and James are alive?!" Tally exclaimed
"Remus is okay? But he transformed last night, with all that pain it could've killed them!" Laini followed up.
"Alas, the boy's are strong and were able to withstand the pain and pressure of the war knowing the two girls they were counting on would be sure to find help, and help they found." Dumbledore said, "If you would like to see them, they are all awake, eating, and talking about how they could've taken on the Death Eaters alone." A sparkle flash behind Dumbledore's square glasses.
"Remus!" Laini screamed, tossing the blanket that covered her aside and dashing from the room and into the other. Tally got out of bed as well but before going into the next room she walked up to Dumbledore.
"Thank you, Dumbledore, for helping them... I was... so... worried." She then hugged Dumbledore around the middle as tears filled her eyes. Dumbledore's eyes opened slightly more at the shock but smiled all the same and patted her on the back.
As Tally entered the room next door she saw Laini had tackled Remus and was hugging him and crying hysterically while Remus was saying,
"Ow, Laini be careful for my chest wound." Remus was referring to the wound that had blasted him backwards into the mud.
"Sorry..." Laini said blushing, but she smiled at him all the same.
"Oy, Tally..." Sirius called, lifting his hand and motioning for her to join him. Tally walked over slowly and stood next to him. "Good, now fetch me my juice." He said, lifting his cup and smiling at her.
"Heh, I see you're better." Tally replied, ignoring the cup and throwing her arms around Sirius' neck, causing him to drop the cup and encircle his arms around her waist.
"Tally, I'm so glad you're okay." He said, his voice muffled by Tally's hospital gown.
"And I can say the same to you, I thought I'd guarantied your death the moment Laini and I went for help." Tally said, tears filling her sapphire eyes.
"Hey, Padfoot, careful or you'll squeeze Sysion [A/N: Tally's nickname, like James is Prongs, pronounced: vision with an 's' like in 'see'] to death." James joked but stopped as a sight caught his eyes. A red-haired, light green eyed girl stood in the doorway, she smiled and James returned the smile. "My dear Lily..."
"James, you're awake..." Lily smiled and walked over to him, hugging him in the process. James grinned up at her and pressed his lips against hers. Lily blushed, for she'd never been kissed before and she never expected James to be the one.

The end... I'm not going to introduce anymore chapters after this because I'm tired and you know the drill. So for the normal intro, I own nothing in any of these chapters but Laini and Tally. Thank you.
