Chapter 3-The Proposition
"Ah, so you two figured it out," Dumbledore chuckled at their shocked expressions.
Evelyn and Remus just gaped at Dumbledore in shock for a few seconds before looking at each other and then back at Dumbledore again.
"Well, that brings us to the proposition," said Dumbledore.
All the two could do was nod, so Dumbledore went on and explained his proposition. (FINALLY!)
"My proposition is very simple really. If you so choose to, you can go back I time, save the world for Wizards and Muggles both, save your friends, all of them, pretty much relive your lives, and maybe treat certain people with a little more respect," Dumbledore explained.
"And yes. You would have to do "it", Ms.Variati, with Mr.Lupin. And yes, On the full moon," said Dumbledore, eyes twinkling and the corners of his mouth twitching, trying to keep on a serious face. He was now thoroughly amused at their reactions to his proposition.
"Um…Evelyn?" asked Remus uncertainly.
"Yeah, Remus," Evelyn responded sounding the same as Remus.
"Can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?," asked Remus.
"I think it would be best if you two go back to Headquarters and talk it out there. You may take as long as you need, but be warned. Time is running short an the full moon is in two weeks," said Dumbledore.
"Oh, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Remus, this full moon you will not transform," said Dumbledore, but continued at their confused looks. It's because of the prophecy, you see. I shall explain it more when I receive you answer," he said at Remus' enquiring look.
They both nodded and said their good-nights to Dumbledore. He in turn smiled at them.
"I do hope they do the right thing," Dumbledore said to himself, "I really do hope so."
"As do I," said someone from behind Dumbledore, "They could save the world!"
Dumbledore turned around to where he had heard the voice.
"Ah, Professor Dippet. How nice to see you," said Dumbledore to the portrait in front of him.
A few minutes later Evelyn and Remus had floo-ed back to Ancient and Most Noble House of Black and had gone back through the living room and back down the halls into the kitchen that was now empty.
They both sat down at the bench and sighed heavily. Evelyn looked at the clock next to some cabinets.
"2:38 A.M.," she said slowly sounding very tired. Remus tried to stifle a yawn.
"Shall we talk about this now or later?" Remus asked Evelyn, who was resting her chin on her arm on the table ready to fall asleep right then and there.
"I think now. We should get this out of the way and there's and Order meeting tomorrow. If we figure this all out by then, we can tell Dumbledore our answer," said Evelyn, sitting up now.
"You're right Eve. Shall I make some coffee then?" Remus asked smiling a little.
"Yes, please!" answered Evelyn enthusiastically, now also smiling.
A wave of a wand later, two blue mugs filled with French-vanilla coffee stood in front of the two on the table.
"Well….um….where shall we start?" asked Evelyn
"Well….uh….how about the us-on-the-full-moon thing?" asked Remus.
"Yeah, okay," she answered, shifting slightly in her seat.
"Look, Remus. If we can really save our friends….and….the world….then, well, I wouldn't really mind….um….you know, with you," said Evelyn, a slight blush on her face.
"Wow, Evelyn, I just don't know if I can do this. I mean…what if it doesn't work and it…changes things between us? You're my best friend and the only friend I have left. I couldn't bare it if I lost you too," said Remus, looking down at the ground shamefully.
"And what if it does work?," Evelyn pressed, "Remus, this is the chance we've been waiting for! A chance to get our friends back! We can save them! We can change the fate of the wizarding world Remus!"
"Evelyn, I know. I just don't want to loose you too," Remus said quietly, still looking at the floor.
"Remus, you know better than anyone on this planet that you will never loose me. Do you remember that day on the train to Hogwarts in first year when you found me in that compartment? I was sad because a second year Slytherin had teased me about my hair?" asked Evelyn.
"Silver. Your hair is silver. That's how you got your nickname. That's where we first met. I called you Silver," Remus answered quietly.
"And we promised each other that we'd be best friends till the end no matter what," they said in unison.
"Remus, you can't back down now. This is our only chance to save our friends," said Evelyn.
"What do you say, Remus?"
He was quiet for a moment.
"When's the next full moon?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
"It's actually on Friday the thirteenth," said Evelyn starting to laugh. When Remus heard this bit of information, he started laughing as well.
"Silver? What time is it?" asked Remus when he was finally able to control his breathing.
"Almost five-thirty in the morning, Moony," Evelyn replied calming down as well.
"Just wondering. I'm tired," Remus replied yawning widely.
"Wanna go to sleep?" asked Evelyn.
"Definitely," answered Remus.
Evelyn and Remus walked up to their rooms after saying goodnight and walked down a minute later.
"There's someone in my bed!," they said at the same time. They both started to laugh again.
"Care to join me on the couch, Madam?" asked Remus smiling.
"Why of course, Mr.Moony," replied Evelyn.
"Follow me, Ms.Silver," said Remus holding out his arm. Evelyn accepted his arm and they left the kitchen after Remus put the coffee mugs he had summoned into the sink using his wand.
