***CHAPTER14***
Remus's head started whirling, 'Let me get this straight, what you're trying to say is that you saw a woman who looked a lot like Lily during your trip to Malaysia?'
Remus had taken time out to visit Arabella after getting a distress letter from her. Over a cup of tea, she had told him in detail about what happened few days before departing the country.
Thinking silently 'could it be a coincidence that Sirius found someone who looks like James? Is it really possible that they're alive?'
Out loud he asked 'How did Harry react?'
'Honestly speaking, I have no idea. I was too shocked to do anything but stare. He did seem a little dreamy after that. He was constantly muttering a Mrs. something. but I never really paid attention cause I was pretty preoccupied with what happened.' Arabella replied him a little sheepishly.
Deciding to not worry Arabella anymore, Remus tried changing the subject. 'How is Harry any way.'
That question was a huge mistake. It made Arabella's mood worse.
'What do you think? She snapped. Realizing what she had done, she sighed and sunk herself deep into the couch.
'I'm sorry, Moony, I truly am.'
'It's that bad, huh?'
'I don't know how he has been able to withstand it.' She stated, starting to sob a little. They're horrible to him. I.I feel so helpless.' Sobbing harder now.
Remus scooted from his couch over to Arabella's. Hugging her, he stayed in that position silently while he allowed her to continue with her story.
'I was with him all the time and it's a lot worse than I ever thought. They didn't do much to him for the first few days but after. after a while. they started abusing him...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While Arabella told Remus of the state Harry was in, Sirius was getting very excited about a letter Harry sent him. It was already pass midnight but he was wide-awake waiting for Remus to get back from wherever he was.
Sirius pounced onto Remus the minute he heard the lock turn. 'Moony!!! Where on earth have you been? I've been waiting for you since forever. Do you know what time it is? It's passed one.'
'PAADFOOT!!!!! GET OFF ME!!!!!!!'
'Oh.'
'Now, what were you saying?'
'Forget about what I was saying. I've got more important things to tell you.'
'How important is it? Cause I've got something to tell you too.'
'It's big, real big. Remember the guy I told you about, the one that looks like James, Harry had a dream or a vision sort of thing about him.'
'WHAT!!!! I don't get you. Explain.'
'Well, this was written before Harry left for his trip. The letter was delayed as Hedwig got caught in the storm. According to him, he was cutting potatoes when that thingy whatever it is called happened. He only remembers it vaguely. He told me of it as he finds it odd to be seeing or thinking of people he has never met before. He was watching a wedding where a couple, Mr. And Mrs. Coal got married, and n.'
'Wait a minute, wasn't the guy you say resembled James, named Coal. Erm. Ha.no Henry Coal, I think.'
'Exactly. Even if one says that I came across the article by chance, Harry can't have dreamed about a person he's never met.'
Analyzing what Sirius said, he contradicted.
'But Harry has dreamt of people he has never met. Voldemort's victims' Slapping his palm to his forehead, he dropped himself on the couch. Frowning, he thought of the situation more.
'Oh yeah, I forgot bout' that. Frowning, he thought of the situation more.
'But wait a minute. Those were dreams. Those happened only at night and they were all of people being murdered.'
Looking up at Remus for confirmation, he found his best friend deep in thought. Eager to convince Remus that this incident is worth investigating, he continued.
'This wasn't. This happened during the day and it was more like a. like a. vision. no. a premonition. Furthermore, it was a wedding.'
Silent was all there is for a moment. Getting impatient, he growled.
'Moony, MOONY!!!!! PLEASE could you answer me? What do you think?'
Remus was trying to piece the pieces together. Not only what Sirius was saying, but also what Arabella had told him that morning. Furthermore, he has no idea on how to tell Sirius of what he had heard today morning as he being Sirius would definitely ask how and where he got the news.
'Come on Moony, am I the only one who think it is possible? Do you think I'm going mad?'
Sinking himself on the couch opposite Sirius's, he began.
'Honestly Padfoot, if you were to only give me those details, I would really think that both you and Harry are just imagining things.'
'BUT MOONY.'
Lifting an arm to stop Sirius from continuing, he continued.
'But today. today I got news that someone saw a lady who looks remarkably like Lily too.'
'WHAT!!!!!'
'Wait, let me finish. I must admit, with all the evidence and witnesses lying in front of me, I cannot deny what you're trying to point out to me. However, I must remind you, it was you who claimed that the guy, Coal is not James, therefore, I hope that you will not keep your hopes too high.'
'Always the voice for reason, huh? Moony. Does that mean you will allow yourself and I to look for him?'
'What does that mean?'
'Come on Moony, you've wanted to look for him since the day I told you about the incident.'
'So what if I had?'
'Hah, I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Both men barely slept that night. They had discussed it. And they both knew what to do. Now what is left is the fear and anxiousness that runs through their vein both eagerly hoping and horrifyingly dreading the next day to come. They both knew that there would only be two answers. Yes, he is James OR no, he is not.
Standing at the gate in front of the house, Sirius turned to Remus and said,
'This is it, Moony.'
'There's no turning back from here.'
'So, here we go.'
Remus reached for the doorbell, just as he was about to press it, Sirius shouted,
'Hold on! What if. what if.I mean. What would.'
'Don't worry, Padfoot. We'll face it as it comes. We didn't get top five in school for all our years for nothing.'
'Okay, do it then.'
The bell rang and in a few minutes, a guy who seems around the age of 35 answered it. Looking at them, Remus and Padfoot, Sirius transformed right after the bell was rang, curiously, he greeted them.
'Good morning.'
'Morning. We're looking for Mr. Henry Coal. Does he live here?'
'Oh, Henry, he doesn't live here anymore. He moved out a few weeks ago.'
Remus's face fell while Padfoot's tail drooped as he said that.
'Oh.'
They had expected Henry to be there to give them a yes or no, but never did they considered the chances of him moving out.
'Do you know where he lives now? Do you know how we can reach him?'
'Yes, if you don't mind waiting for a while, he will be here. He's taking the last pile of his belongings to his new house.'
'You know him?'
'Yeah, we were roommates then housemates before he got married.'
Just as he said that, the gates opened and a car drove in and stopped right in front of the door.
Remus and Padfoot turned at the sound. What they saw made Remus take three steps back while Padfoot started barking. Remus felt faint. The guy who just stepped out of the car looked exactly like James.
Remus was jolted out of his reverie as James's voice rang through his ears.
'Hey Marcus, who's this?'
'Hey, Henry.'
Remus inwardly sighed as he heard that.
'He is Henry, HEN.RY. Not James.' Reminding himself over and over again.
'He's looking for you?'
Henry looked at Remus and Padfoot again.
Seeing Padfoot, he knelt down.
'Hey, old mutt. You found your master?'
'Ruff.'
'Don't you remember Marcus; this was the dog we saw on the street that day. Look, it went back to his master. You see, I told you he was loyal.'
'Ruff.' Padfoot replied him and feeling as though James was back, pounced on him instantly, licking him.
'Actually Ja.Henry, we're here because of an article we saw.'
Still busy with Padfoot, Henry didn't catch what Remus said, but Marcus did.
'An article?'
'Yes. The one in The Straits.'
'I think we better go inside.'
'Will you mind if the dog came in.'
'No, none at all. Henry has a thing with animals, especially big dogs like the one you have, he brings them home quite often.'
Hearing that, Remus's mind whirled,
'Is that another coincident?' he wondered.
Out loud, he called out.
'Padfoot, Padfoot, come on in. Get off him. Be nice.'
Turning to Henry, he continued.
'Sorry bout that.'
'It's okay. I love dogs and I'm not sure why but he. he reminds me of someone.'
Padfoot stopped upon hearing that, he stared and Henry intently and thought,
'It really is possible that this is him.'
Remus on the other hand was lost for words. All he could do was give him a small smile and head into the house.
'Grab a seat and make yourself at home. I'll just call someone down.' Marcus invited.
He called Richard down from the top floor and settling down they started.
'I've waited too long to do this, so I'll be straightforward. About the article, I think that Henry here might be who we're looking for.' Remus told.
'What article?' James asked fuzzily.
'You don't know about it?'
'Henry, don't be mad. We didn't want you to be upset if none of your family came looking for you, soooooo. we posted an article about you in the newspaper.' Richard tried breaking out to him softly.
'WHAT?????'
'We couldn't bear to see you like that. What's with the dreams and everything.' Continued Marcus, trying to console him as much as possible. 'It did bear result.' He added sheepishly.
'How could you guys?'
Upon hearing the word, dreams. Remus found that that was all they needed. The problem was on how to get it out of James. Henry. If this were James, he wouldn't have changed much. His attitude of keeping things to himself in front of strangers would be the same. Trying to phrase his sentence correctly, he turned to Henry.
'I know. I know that we're strangers and everything and I know it's too much to ask, but could you.could by any chance tell us about these dreams of yours.'
The result was immediate and he was starting to get more and more certain that this man here is James. Henry clammed up.
Also wanting Henry to find his family, Richard and Marcus persuaded him.
'Come on, Henry. This is your chance.'
Remus knew that they had to use their last resort. They had expected that if this were James, this would happen. Glancing at Sirius, Sirus got the hint. Whenever James was upset years ago, he would normally transform into Padfoot and sat on his lap, silently comforting him and waited until he was ready to tell him what's troubling him.
Padfoot walked towards him and settled himself into Henry's lap. The result was instant. Henry stared stroking and petting Padfoot's head unconsciously.
Richard and Marcus watched in amazement. They too realize that it is more and more obvious that Henry is related to them somehow. Henry had never seemed so relax around people.
Remus knew that it was time to start if he wanted to get the story.
'Ja.Henry, could you tell us about your dreams? Not every one of them. The best would be the most frequent one.'
Henry sat there quietly again, not muttering a word. Richard and Marcus getting impatient started.
'Hen.' They stopped noticing a finger on Remus's lips.
There they sat in silence until Henry's voice broke through it. It was deep, quiet and mellow, unlike the cheerful voice all of them are used to hearing.
Henry wasn't looking at everyone. His eyes were clouded and they had a faraway look in them.
'It is the same every time. I think that I've just had dinner with a lady and a small boy. I'm not sure but I think that the lady's name is Lily and The boy's Harry.'
Remus was absolutely screaming for joy inwards for that. Sirius, was no different.
'We were relaxing in the living room when suddenly we hear a cackle. Every time I hear this, I'll shiver with cold, with fear. I see myself getting up and grabbing a wood like stick from my pockets. The lights around me were flickering as though there was a strong wind blowing over the house, and yet.yet I feel no wind, not the tiniest bit of breeze. I hear myself shout to the lady to take the boy, Harry and go. I hear myself telling them that I'll hold that.that thing while hearing the door lock click open. When the door burst open, I see myself facing a hideous creature. He was in a .a robe or something, like those we see on TV and I could see nothing but his face. It was... It looked like a snake. He then started laughing. It was more of a cackle, a high-pitched laughter. It then becomes a little fuzzy here where all I can see is flashes flying here and there. The last flash I see is the most horrifying one. It was a.a.'
Henry shuddered. Both Remus and Sirius knew what it was. The Avada Kedavra. Remus helped him continue.
'It was a brilliant green light. It flashed around the room like lightning, didn't it? Not only that, it sends shivers down your spine.
'How.how do you know?'
Henry's hope was starting to lift. There couldn't be a mistake, could it? Not only did they know about his dream, they weirdly seem to bring out certain calmness from him. Correcting himself, he asked.
'Who are you?'
'I will tell you about us and yourself as I am quite confident that you're the man we are looking for, but.before that I would like to ask both your friends to leave the room.'
'But.'Richard and Marcus certainly did not like this.
Henry brought an arm up, telling indicating for them to stop.
Calmly he asked. 'Why?'
'There are things which I am going to tell you which cannot be known by those unrelated.'
Richard protested loudly, 'UNRELATED!!!'
'This.this.. What kind of sense is this?' he stuttered.
Henry knew that he needed to save the situation.
'I trust these guys with my life itself. They know my deepest and darkest secret. I am willing to trust them with my newest ones.'
He was looking Richard and Marcus as he said this and therefore did not realize Remus and Padfoot flinch from that statement.
Remus was really at a lost at what to do. He looked slowly from Henry to Richard and then to Marcus. Taking a deep breath, he began.
'You're known to us as James Zachary Potter.'
Henry played with the name on his tongue.
'James Zachary Potter.'
'Padfoot there, has known you since you were both babies, your parents and his were best friends, therefore you were both very close. I have know you since I was seven, when I moved into the neighborhood.'
Henry stood up immediately, causing Padfoot to drop on the floor.
'RUFF!!!'
'How is that possible? No dogs can live that long.'
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^*^
NEXT TWO CHAPTERS: YEAH!!! James now knows that he has a family.
Sirius and Remus know that Henry is James. But. It's
been
Long. Can they trust him with Padfoot's identity? Will
he
Except a so-called murderer in his house?
Will there be jealousy between Sirius, Remus and Marcus
and
Richard for James's friendship.
The story will be much faster now.
====================================================
I hope to get a few reviews for this. GOOD or BAD.
I'm hoping to get about ten reviews for this. I realize it's not up to my usual standard. But well, I've been busy with that stuff I mentioned above that I have to stop in the middle.
Thanks for the patience and support.

I hope to get a few reviews for this. GOOD or BAD.
I'm hoping to get about ten reviews for this. I realize it's not up to my usual standard. But well, I've been busy with that stuff I mentioned above that I have to stop in the middle.
Thanks for the patience and support.
