Chapter 6- Explanations

Remus listened to Evelyn's story of what really happened when she went to Hogwarts to Hex Snape. They were sitting on the couch in the living room and Remus was absentmindedly twirling a lock of Evelyn silver hair around his finger listening to her speak.

"Ok, so when I ran into Dumbledore in that corridor he asked me to come to his office so he could speak with me privately," Evelyn told Remus, who looked at her curiously.

"What did he want? ," Remus asked looking a concerned, "Was it about the prophecy?" he whispered.

"Um…sort of….," she replied, "he said he was going to explain everything else about the full moon, tonight after the Order meeting."

"Oh….was that it?" Remus asked uncertainly looking at Evelyn curiously. Evelyn shrugged.

"Yeah, pretty much," she said getting up and ruffling Remus' hair. Evelyn smiled a dazzling smile at Remus and he grinned back.

Evelyn was about to move away from the couch and toward the door, but Remus grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap.

Evelyn giggled at his cheesiness and got comfortable. Remus looked like there was something he wanted to say and was about to, but decided against it.

"Remus, what is it? You know you can tell me anything," Evelyn said softly looking him right in the eye.

"I was just going to say how beautiful you look today," Remus said truthfully, smiling a charming smile at Evelyn.

Evelyn blushed and smiled, "Thanks, Remus, but you know, back when we were at school quite a few of my friends fancied you. You might be shy and quiet sometimes, but you really are nice to look at," Evelyn said slyly, her face inching closer to his as she spoke.

It was now Remus' turn to blush. He had noticed how close their faces were and his stomach did an unexpected flip-flop. Evelyn by now had butterflies in her stomach, but as they were about to lean in a startled Mrs.Weasley came down the stairs and blushed furiously.

Remus and Evelyn blushed and jumped up off the couch as soon as they realized what a compromising position they were in.

"Oh my! I-I was just going t-to the-oh blast it all! Congratulations you two!" Mrs.Weasley smiled and ran over to the two on the couch, seized Remus in a bone-crushing hug.

"M-Molly…I c-can't…breathe!," Remus managed to get out. Mrs.Weasley was hugging Remus so tightly that he was gasping for breaths and was starting to turn red trying to pry the woman off of him.

"Oh-I'm so sorry Remus I'm just so happy for both of you!" said Mrs.Weasley starting to get teary eyed for the second time that day. Mrs.Weasley finally let go of Remus.

'He looks so cute with his hair ruffled…his shirt unbuttoned…it's a shame really that he's wearing another shirt under that one…' Evelyn thought before mentally slapping herself. 'HEY! I'm allowed to think dirty thoughts about Remus now so ha!' she thought triumphantly.

It was now Evelyn's turn to get her bones crushed, because as soon as Mrs.Weasley cast eyes on her, she pulled her into a bone-crushing hug Remus had just escaped from.

"I'm so happy for you two! You make such a cute couple!," Mrs.Weasley smiled dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Erm…thanks…Molly," Evelyn said blushing slightly. Evelyn looked at Remus and smiled. "I guess I'm a pretty lucky woman to have a guy like Remus," Evelyn added all the while looking at Remus.

"You know…I think I'm the lucky one here. Lucky to have a woman like you," Remus said smiling his charming smile and winking at Evelyn.

Evelyn blushed and looked into Remus' amber eyes, totally forgetting that Mrs.Weasley was there. Remus held her gaze, looking into her deep blue eyes, thinking only one thing, 'So beautiful.'

FLASHBACK

An eleven year old Remus Lupin walked onto Platform 9 & ¾ anticipating the train ride to his first year at Hogwarts.

"You be a good boy, Remus," said Mrs.Lupin hugging her sun close to her and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Mrs.Lupin released her sun as the warning whistles were blown.

Remus hurried onto the train to find his compartment again. He had put his trunk and his owl in a compartment on the train when he had first gotten on the platform.

He finally found his compartment and slid open the door, but stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw.

A beautiful girl with silver hair was sitting on one of the seats looking a little glum and irritated as she looked out the window.

'I must be the luckiest kid in the world!' Remus thought as he slid the door shut quietly, 'She's so beautiful.'

"Silver," Remus said walking over to the girl. "What's the matter , Silver," Remus asked carefully sitting down next to the girl. The girl looked up at Remus uncertainly.

The girl muttered something scowling. She sighed and looked at the boy in front of her.

"Is this your compartment?" the girl asked trying to change the subject.

"You didn't answer my question, but yes, this is my compartment," Remus replied, "now are you going to answer my question or not?"

"Um…I'll just leave then," the girl said. She was about to get up to leave, but Remus caught her by the hand and pulled her back into her seat.

"You still didn't answer my question, Silver," Remus said matter-of-factly. Smiling at her.

"I'm Remus Lupin by the way," Remus said extending his hand to the girl. The girl smiled and shook his hand.

"Evelyn Variati. Nice to meet you," she said smiling a dazzling smile. Remus was amazed at how beautiful she looked when she smiled.

"So why were you so glum when I came in?" Remus asked her curiously.

"You'd laugh if I told you," Evelyn replied.

"Try me," said Remus smiling a charming smile at Evelyn. Evelyn sighed.

"Ok, fine, some Slytherin girl just teased me about my hair. She said I looked like some old lady," said Evelyn, blushing slightly.
"Well you know what? I think your hair is very nice to tell you the truth. I've never seen anyone with silver hair before," said Remus blushing, but grinning at Evelyn nonetheless.

Evelyn grinned back.

"Friends?" Evelyn asked smiling at Remus.

"Friends, forever," Remus replied.

"You promise?" she asked.

"Cross my heart," Remus replied grinning broadly.

'So beautiful,' Remus thought to himself still grinning.

END OF FLASHBACK

Remus and Evelyn held each other's gaze for a few moments longer, but when they looked around again Mrs.Weasley was gone.

Evelyn walked up to Remus and he pulled her into a tight embrace. They stood there for several minutes. Content with just standing in each other's arms.

Remus let go of Evelyn and she just stood there in front of him. Looking up at him with a large smile on her face.

"Remus," she asked finally.

"Yes," he answered.

"Friends?" Evelyn asked grinning at Remus.

"Friends, forever," Remus replied.

"You promise?" she asked still smiling.

"Cross my heart," Remus replied grinning broadly.

A once again teary eyes Mrs.Weasley stood outside the door to the living room listening to what the two were saying.

She knew she shouldn't be eavesdropping, but she just couldn't help it. It was all so sweet.

Mrs.Weasley dabbed her eyes once again, a huge smile plastered on her face. She turned away from the door and walked to the kitchen.
The Order meeting that night hadn't gone that good. There had been more Death Eater attacks and this time a small village of Muggles, witches, wizards, and squibs ended up dead.

But the meeting hadn't been all bad. Evelyn, Remus, and the rest of the Order members all got in a good laugh when they saw Snape's hair.

A very disgruntled Snape had walked into the basement-like kitchen wearing a very odd looking hat. Snape looked ready to kill.

As soon as Snape had set foot in the kitchen his hat had flown off and everyone present had busted out laughing at what they saw. The twins, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had all been in the kitchen during that incident and were currently rolling on the floor laughing their heads off.

Snape looked ready to kill. Anyone who looked at him after that incident could see he had murder in his eyes and would cease their laughter immediately. Everyone of course except for Evelyn and Remus, who tried their best to hold in their laughter so as not to interrupt Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was talking about Death Eater activity, but the smile he got on his face and the twinkle in his eyes when he looked at Snape gave him away.

A couple of hours later the meeting was over and Order members were getting up to leave. Soon every one except Moody, Mr. And Mrs.Weasley, Remus, and Evelyn were had left. Dumbledore walked up to Evelyn and Remus.

"Evelyn, Remus, I would like to speak with you two in private please. Floo over to my office and I will be there shortly. I must speak to Mad-eye about a letter," said Dumbledore, smiling kindly at the two of them.

"Yes, Professor," Remus said and Evelyn nodded showing she understood. The two of them walked over to the fireplace in the kitchen.

Evelyn and Remus each grabbed a pinch of floo powder and stepped closer to the fireplace. Evelyn threw the floo powder into the flames and stepped into the fireplace. Remus, being the gentlemen he is, offered to let her go first.

"Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts!" Evelyn said clearly and was gone in a whirl of emerald flames.

Remus walked closer to the fireplace and threw in his pinch of floo powder into the flames.

"Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts," said Remus. There was another whirl of green and he too disappeared.
"You're sure the letter is still in the same place I put it when the Marauders were in their first year?" Dumbledore asked a slightly confused Mad-eye Moody.

"Yes, I'm sure, but why do you need that letter anyway?. It was odd that you were writing a letter and not mailing it, you know," said Mad-eye, still confused.
"And I trust, you did not read it," said Dumbledore, putting his piercing gaze on Moody.

"Of course I didn't! Knowing you , it would most likely burn the readers eyes out or something of the sort to keep it's secret safe," said Moody grumpily.

"Good, thank you Mad-eye. You have no idea how much this means to me," said Dumbledore shaking Moody's hand.

"Now, I must go. Mr.Lupin and Ms.Variati are expecting me!" said Dumbledore walking quickly to the fireplace.

A whirl of green flames once again engulfed the fireplace and Moody was alone in the kitchen of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, as confused as ever.

Moody shook his head and was about to leave when Mrs.Weasley walked in and offered for him to stay for dinner.

This being an opportunity too good to pass up, Moody obliged and went to wash up for dinner as instructed by Mrs.Weasley.

Being around Molly Weasley as often as he was, he knew much better than to defy her…or there would be hell to pay.
Evelyn and Remus were both waiting for Dumbledore to show up. They had already taken their seats in front of Dumbledore's desk.

Actually, they had only been sitting for about a minute when their old Headmaster came out of the fireplace smiling at both of them.
Remus and Evelyn smiled back admiringly at their old Headmaster. Dumbledore walked over to his desk and sat behind it. Evelyn and Remus looked at Dumbledore expectantly.

"Um…Professor Dumbledore, sir?" Remus asked going a little red in the face, "A-are we…um…supposed to use p-protection, on the full moon I mean?" By now Remus was beet red and was looking down at the floor.
Professor Dumbledore chuckled and smiled. He had an amused look on his face, but he also looked like he wanted to explain anything, but that.

"Well…you see…the whole point of you two…er…becoming one is that you…have to be indeed becoming…one with each other," Dumbledore explained.

Both Remus and Evelyn were blushing furiously by now. Evelyn was shaking her head thinking about how embarrassing the whole situation was, but then…she had been wondering that herself.

"I have something very important to tell to the two of you so listen closely," Dumbledore said in all seriousness.

"When you two were in your first year, I wrote a letter that I concealed in the wall of the library in the charms section. That letter has the prophecy and a explanation of it written on it. When I first found out about the prophecy I thought it of little importance, but wrote the letter nonetheless," said Dumbledore.

"If for any reason you do not remember anything from the future, which there is a huge chance that you wont, I am hoping you two will find that letter. If you do not, then I sincerely hope you figure everything out on your own," Dumbledore said gravely.

Evelyn and Remus were both thinking about what Dumbledore had just said, but nodded showing they understood.

"So, we might not remember anything from the present, like right now?" Evelyn asked curiously.

"Yes, Evelyn," said Dumbledore.

Remus was still thinking about what Dumbledore had said and spoke up all of a sudden.

"We most likely wont remember anything from right now because we'd be going back in time," he started.

"And that's like rewinding a tape, like Muggles do, except we'd be rewinding time, days, years……our lives. Which also means that if we're brought back to first year we wont know anything that we had already learned in seventh year," Evelyn said catching on quickly to what Remus was saying.

"Exactly," said Dumbledore smiling at his ex-students' cleverness.

"We'd literally be reliving our lives. It would be like none of this, including this conversation, ever happened, which means that James and Lily would not have been murdered yet, and Peter would still be alive, but not be a Death Eater yet," said Remus wondrously.

"Well, it certainly looks like have explained everything that needed explaining by yourselves, so, you are free to go," said Dumbledore happily, smiling warmly at both of them.

"Thank you, sir," said Remus getting up and shaking the old man's hand. Evelyn also stood up and shook Dumbledore's hand.

"G'night, sir," Evelyn and Remus said before floo-ing back to Grimmauld Place. Evelyn and Remus started towards the staircase in the hallway.

"I dunno about you, Remus, but I'm beat!" said Evelyn thinking about her much needed sleep enthusiastically.

"Me too," said Remus smiling and then yawning widely. Evelyn yawned too and walked up the stairs followed by Remus.

"G'night, Moony," said Evelyn opening her door.

"G'night, Silver," said Remus opening his own door.

Evelyn and Remus walked into their own rooms and got ready for bed. They both hadn't slept since the night before Snape walked in on them and were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as their heads hit their pillows.
