Chapter 13: Special gifts.
"How much could they be hiding? They have only known each for 4 days!"
"I'm not sure, I just know that there is something!" James told his wife.
"They are obviously not going to wake up soon, lets go get something to eat!" Sirius said.
"Yeah, we haven't eaten all day!" James replied and their voices moved further away as they started a conversation on how much they had missed Hogwarts.
Lilac opened her eyes when the voices disappeared and saw Seamus's face above her.
"So, what is happening between you two?" He asked.
"Nothing, why does everyone think that something is going on?" Harry said after Lilac sighed.
Because in 4 days, you two have shown a lot of more than friends gestures!" Another voice said.
All three heads turned to see a grinning Romulus.
"I can safely assure you it's just a close friendship!" Lilac said.
"Good, hell, I don't know what I would do if you to were having a, how would I put it? Secret love affair! Imagine that?" Seamus said and let out a bark like laugh.
"Yeah, imagine that?" Lilac said and as Seamus turned away and Romulus had layback down and had his back to them, Harry and her gave each worried looks.
Seamus turned back and they quickly looked away. He started on an impression of Lilac that had a much to high voice but the words sounded roughly like what had been said the previous days "I love you! Kiss me!" He held out his lips to Harry who backed away so much he fell off the bed, and since Lilac was on top of him on the bed, she ended up also falling on him.
"Ouchies!" Harry said in a muffled voice as lilac lay on his stomach and her lips on his lips. His legs were tangled with hers and her hair was in his face, her face pressed against his cheek.
"Tell me about it!" She said and saw Seamus look down and laugh.
"I'm going to kill you Seamus!" Harry said and footsteps pounded up the corridor.
"You know, this doesn't look good to a parent!" James smirked.
"I'm soo gonna kill you Seamus!" Harry growled, which was hard as Lilac's lips were still pressing into his.
"Umm, Lilac, please don't take offence, but as much as I would really love to lie around like this, the floor isn't very comfortable, and I can't breath much so could you please move off of me. On top of that, I have to kill Seamus before he can get away." Harry said.
"No offence taken Harry, but I assure you, if I could move, I would, but unfortunately, I think my legs are tangled with yours and my ankle is still killing me. Plus, you are going to have to wait your turn, unless you are willing to share killing Seamus with me!" She said calmly but gave Seamus a death stare and spoke the last sentence through gritted teeth.
Deciding to take advantage of their misfortune, Seamus started his Lilac impression again.
"I love you Harry! Kiss me! Hold me! Make love to me!" He said and this seemed to be really getting to Lilac and Harry.
Before Harry could retort, a motherly looking woman came up to them holding a camera, Madam Pomfrey.
"I would appreciate that outside my hospital wing, but since you can't leave, I suggest you two get up!" She said looking down to Harry and Lilac, still lip to lip on the floor.
"Well, if we could get up, we would, I didn't choose to get pushed off the bed!" Harry said through gritted teeth and looked at Seamus who was still laughing.
"Of course you can move! Just move your legs!" She said and took hold of one of each of their legs, right before Lilac started screaming.
"Relax Ms. Kales, I'm not going to kill you!" She said after Lilac stopped screaming after Madam Pomfrey let go of her leg.
"I don't think it's that, I think she hurt her ankle last night!" Harry said and Lilac nodded slowly.
"We can help that!" Madam Pomfrey said and waved her wand. A second later, bandages wrapped themselves around her leg.
She stood up slowly and Harry helped her over to the other bed before flopping onto his own.
"How in the name of Merlin, an 11 year old gets a fractured skull Mr Potter, I will never understand!" Madam Pomfrey said as she made her way over to Harry, after healing Lilac's ankle, and looked at the side of his head.
"Getting slammed into a tree by a werewolf can do that to you!" Harry said sarcastically and the adults all gasped.
"Maybe if we had stayed in the shrieking shack like I wanted to..." Seamus sighed.
"Whatever caused those bangs would have probably been just as bad, and there would still be the werewolf!" Lilac finished for him and more shock came from the adults.
"Why didn't Dumbledore tell me there was two wolves coming here!?" Madam Pomfrey argued.
"I don't think anyone knew there was one coming!" Romulus sighed miserably.
"It was you? But how? Who? What?" Remus stuttered.
"I can take a blood test to be sure, if you want?" Madam Pomfrey offered and Romulus nodded his head, seeming to lose his ability to speak.
Madam Pomfrey walked away and came back with an injection, she lifted up Romulus sleeve and took a blood sample from his arm.
"I'll test this and we will see, hold on 2 minutes." She said and hurried away again.
The dream she had, was still bugging Lilac. "Come on, you have to tell him, even if it's just a dream!" She thought to herself and finally used the Gryffindor courage she had.
"Harry, can I see you alone for a few minutes?" She asked.
Sure Lilac," He replied and hopped off the bed, attracting giggles from Seamus.
"What's up?" He asked as they walked away from the beds.
"I'd rather make sure we are far away first!" she said and the walked out the hospital wing.
They strolled into a near by class, which they put a silencing charm and a locking charm on t he door.
Lilac explained her dream to him, looking down at her feet the whole time. When she finished and finally looked up, she saw an expression she didn't expect Harry to have, he had a wide grin on his face.
"Maybe this was more than a dream, maybe you're a seer!" He said excitedly.
"A what?"
"A seer! A person who can predict or see the future! We have to tell my mom and make sure if you are!"
"Why your mom?"
"She's also a seer, so she will know if you are one or not!" He said.
"I'm not sure, what if it gives us away?" She said looking back at her feet.
He put his one hand under her chin and gently lifted her face up, where 2 tears were streaming down her cheeks. He moved his hand off her chin and gently caressed her cheek, then kissed where her tears were.
"Please don't cry Lila! If it gives us away, I won't let anything happen to you, anyway, my mom won't tell anyone if you don't want her too!" He said gently and hugged her.
"I love you so much, I know we are young and have only known each other for a few days, but, I really do!" She said to him in his ear.
"I Love you too, more than words could ever say. I love everything about you, the you look, your laugh, your smile, your smell, your hair, the list goes on and on!" He said and she pulled the hug into a kiss.
"There was a gentle knock at the door and they pulled apart quickly."
They took the charms off the door and opened it slightly.
"Is everything alright?" Lily asked and they opened it more.
"What's wrong?" She asked Lilac, bending down to her height.
Lilac proceeded to tell Lily the dream. When she finished she took a deep breath and Lily pulled her into a hug.
"Sounds like you are right, you're a seer!" She smiled and Lilac sniffed.
"But why are you crying? Is it really that bad to be married to me?" Harry asked.
"No, it's nothing like that, I don't really know why I'm crying!" She smiled.
"I remember my first vision. I cried too!" Lily sighed and a weird smile crept onto her face.
"What was it? When was it?" Harry asked curiously.
"I must have been about 15, and I dreamt I was married to your father. It really terrified me, I hated him at the time and he was still a pig then!" She sighed.
"That must have been weirder than mine was!" Lilac replied.
"Well look on the bright side Lilac, it could have been Seamus instead of me!" Harry said.
"Ugh no! I like you, you could say in a, 'more than friend way'. I'm not really into anything serious right now, but want to give it a try someday?" She asked Harry as she walked over to him.
"I'd like that, I guess you can say the same for me, but not right now, if it's meant to be, it will happen." Harry smiled back at her.
They leant forward and gave each other a peck on the lips before blushing and stepping back.
"Oh, what I originally came to fetch you two for, the test is nearly done," Lily, grinned.
"Let's go! Romulus will need us!" Harry replied. "Oh, and mom, please don't tell anyone about what happened here!"
"Done!" Lily smiled at her son and followed them out the classroom.
They walked back to the hospital wing and sat back down on their beds. Romulus looked very pale and nervous about his results.
Madam Pomfrey returned once again but emptied handed.
"It will take a few minutes to settle, I have alerted Dumbledore and all four of you must go see him after we are done. Now let me do that healing charm on your skull Mr. Potter, before it does serious damage." She said hurrying over to him and doing the charm.
"My, my, it's been so long since, I've seen you! How old was he then, about 3? 4?" She asked pinching his cheek and looking at Lily who was smiling.
"I don't know, I think it was 6.' Lily replied and Harry looked over to Lilac.
"I told you being raised in the magic world has its disadvantages! Most of the teachers know us, so it's hard to get away with anything!" He said through the still being pinched cheek.
"Better than living with muggles, you didn't even go to school before now!" She replied.
"We didn't officially go to school, Mrs. Figg had to teach us like we were at school! How do you think we learnt to read and write etc?" Romulus said.
'And for breaks, we had to look at pictures of all her cat's or watch an old black and white TV." Harry said.
"Remember when we convinced her to let us outside?" Seamus said and grins spread across all 3 of their faces.
"Good times! But 'aunt Petunia' deserved what she got, she tries to hard to be, normal." Harry said as a grin spread out on his face.
"And fails miserably." Seamus said with the same grin on his face.
"What happened?" Lilac asked curiously.
"Harry and me wandered into her kitchen accidentally on the way back from our walk and she asked out names, as soon as Harry said Potter, she went crazy!" He said.
By now Lilac was shaking laughter and Harry carried on."But then we managed to hide in a cupboard under their stairs for a couple of hours. She found us we tried to sneak out, so she chased us around her kitchen."
She was now crying with laughter and Harry continued "And when she cornered me after Seamus hid under the table, his courage came back and he pulled out his toy wand which gives off different coloured lights, she shrieked, picked up the rolling pin and chased us back across the street! And I don't know much about muggles, but I don't think her neighbours consider it normal to chase two four year olds in robes out your house with a rolling pin."
"And we still got punished by Mrs. Figg, who told our parents who
punished us more!" Seamus said shooting a look towards the adults, who
were wrapped up in their own private conversations.
"All of them forgetting that we got chased and almost got clobbered!"
Harry said laughing as Lilac finished her own giggle fit.
"Well, we have the test results" Madam Pomfrey said and Lilac realized
she hadn't even seen her go. "I have bad news, Mr. Lupin, you are a
full fledged werewolf." She finished and Romulus buried his face in
his hands.
"This can't be happening? How? I wasn't even bitten!" He moaned.
"And you say this has never happened before?" Pomfrey questioned.
"No, not once!" He groaned.
"It be in blood or the Hogwarts moon then." She said. "You're to go see Professor Dumbledore, the password is chocolate frog."
They all got up off their beds and let the room with nobody saying a word and headed silently towards his office.
"Cheer up Rom!" Seamus said breaking the silence when they were almost at the gargoyle.
"Yeah, we will be with you every full moon. Chocolate frog" Harry said as they reached it and the gargoyle sprung aside. "We are animagus, remember?"
"You don't mind?" he said, obviously surprised.
"Why would we mind?" Lilac said and Romulus shrugged.
"Ok, who's going in first?" Seamus sighed as they stopped in front of the door.
Romulus decided to go in first, or rather, was voted to go inside since it was because of him that they were there.
"You're here! Come in, all of you, sit down!" Dumbledore said as Romulus opened the door and they silently walked into the office and sat down on the four squishy, mis-matched, over stuffed armchairs that were set in front of his desk.
"Would any of you like a sherbet lemon?" He offered the little bowl around but no one took.
"Would one of you care to tell me what happened last night and explain why you were out in the grounds?" He asked and they all gulped.
It then seemed to strike each one only then in their minds, that they were in serious trouble.
