Sorry this took so long to update. I'm having some issues with which chapter should go where for 3 and 4. I don't really like the written version of the other one, so I'm posting this one first. After you read this one and 4, let me know what order you think makes the most sense. FYI: this was originally first.

Disclaimer: Nope.

Chapter 3

Molly, Arthur, and Moody sat in the kitchen waiting for Dumbledore to return. Molly's hands still shook and she clasped them together tightly.

Dumbledore hadn't told them what was wrong. He'd just assured them that it was indeed Remus, then brought him upstairs. They'd been up there for about forty minutes now.

Watching him tumble down those stairs…Molly's heart had leapt into her throat and stayed there until he'd stood up. And that look of fear on his face, she wouldn't be forgetting that any time soon.

He'd been off working for the Order. Recruiting the werewolves, Molly was pretty sure. What could have happened to him?

Dumbledore stepped into the room. Moody got up to give him his seat but he shook his head.

"It's peculiar." He said after a moment. "He has no memory."

Molly gasped. "But it doesn't look like a Memory Charm." Dumbledore continued. "If the charm was strong enough to wipe out his entire memory, it would have caused severe mental damage, much like what happened to Gilderoy a few years ago. I don't know what it is. Perhaps shock, but I'm not sure."

"What did you do with him?"

"Talked to him. Told him who we are, who he is. I didn't tell him very much yet. He's still very confused. I gave him a Sleeping Draught."

"Professor," Arthur said, "Are you sure he's okay? He wasn't acting quite like – well…" He gestured hopelessly.

Dumbledore nodded. He knew what Arthur meant. It had been a bit unnerving to see a thirty-six year old man crumple like a child, but he was certain that Remus's intelligence remained as staggeringly high as usual.

"So what do we do now?" Moody asked.

"We hope his memory returns. He'll have to stay here, there's no way he can be out wandering. The children will be returning for the Easter holidays soon. Molly, Arthur, if you like I'll explain it to them when I return to the school. Or else you can write them."

"We'll wait until they arrive. It'll only be a few days. We don't want this information going to the wrong people." Arthur said.

"Alright. I'll tell the rest of the Order." Dumbledore said, "That potion I gave him should last about eight hours. I'll be back before then."

"Thank you." Molly said.

"I'll be back soon."

Dumbledore got up and strode out of the kitchen. The others looked at each other. What were they going to do now?

I dunno. Maybe I'll just leave that chapter out. We'll see.

Replies to reviews!

baby chaos: Updates may be a little wonky because this is a WIP. But I promise I will finish it. And to answer your question, yeah, I guess that's what it is.

Jess moony: Thank you. I hope you liked this chapter.

George Carlin: I agree, but what does that have to do with anything?

Boredanddelirious: Ooh, thank you. While I was writing that, I think part of my mind must've been on the math homework I still had to do, so that's why it was so gloomy.

See you soon!
