Chapter 8-By the Full Moon
Evelyn and Remus were running thru the battlefield looking for Dumbledore and ducking an occasional hex, curse, or jinx. They couldn't find Dumbledore anywhere and it looked like the Death Eaters were winning. What light there was from the sun, which wasn't much do to the clouds, was slowly diminishing.
There were bodies scattered everywhere; Death Eaters, Aurors, Order Members, and Muggles. You could here screams erupting everywhere. On the streets, in Muggle homes, Everywhere…
It looked like all hope was lost for the Muggles. Evelyn and Remus still hadn't found Dumbledore. They were starting to get desperate. The sun would set any minute now. They would stop occasionally and duel with a Death Eater that came in their way.
"Remus! Look out!" Evelyn shouted.
A Death Eater had just blocked their way and sent a hex at Remus. Remus ducked out of the way just in time.
Another Death Eater stood next to the first one and sent a curse Evelyn's way. Luckily she ducked and it missed her by and inch.
"STUPEFY!" Evelyn and Remus yelled in unison, pointing their wands at the two Death Eaters and stunning them both before the could send another curse at them.
"Where is Dumbledore???" Remus asked getting really anxious now.
The sun was already setting by now and was hidden partly by a cloud. Remus and Evelyn looked in every direction for a minute before Evelyn's face lit up.
"Over there! Look, Remus!," Evelyn said taking off at sprint.
Remus looked in the direction Evelyn was running and sure enough, there stood Dumbledore in all his glory. He was dueling with Voldemort. Dumbledore had the upper hand at the moment.
"Come now, you old fool! Surrender and I promise to go easy on you when I'm in control of the world," Voldemort hissed, smirking at Dumbledore.
"Now, Tom, you know I can't do that. I would be making it to easy for you," Dumbledore said matter-of-factly.
Dumbledore hit Voldemort with a hex of some sort, even though it didn't do much good, but Voldemort recoiled and Evelyn and Remus took their chance.
"Stupefy!" they shouted together. Both stunning spells hit Voldemort, but all that did was make him go a little woozy so Evelyn and Remus ran up to Dumbledore.
"Professor! We've been looking everywhere for you!," said Evelyn sighing with relief. Dumbledore smiled slightly at the two of them.
"You must go! Now! Before it's too late!" Dumbledore whispered urgently keeping an eye on Voldemort who was still down. Dumbledore tried hitting putting magical binds on Voldemort, but he disapparated before Dumbledore could finish saying the incantation.
Dumbledore was getting old. It was more visible to his appearance now then ever before. His kind face screwed up in pain.
'Wait…pain?!?' Remus' mind screamed at him. Remus and Evelyn made eye contact. That same moment Dumbledore crumpled to the ground, age finally catching up with him.
"Professor Dumbledore! Are you alright?!" Evelyn yelled over the screams and shouts of Muggles and Wizards.
"I'm fine Evelyn. Time is catching up with me is all," Dumbledore told Evelyn and Remus who were now kneeling at either side of Dumbledore.
"Remus, you and Evelyn must go to your house. I'm not entirely sure where you will wake up tomorrow morning, but I have a pretty good idea. Now GO!" Dumbledore urged.
Voldemort had reappeared a few yards away. He looked at Dumbledore on the ground and screwed up his face, (which made him a hundred times uglier), into what appeared to be a……smile….
"We can't just leave you here!" Evelyn said to Dumbledore.
"Yes, you can! NOW GO!" Dumbledore bellowed at Evelyn irately. That was the first time in her entire life that Evelyn had been yelled at by her mentor. She looked up to Dumbledore.
Now she knew just how important it was to Dumbledore that they complete this task. Voldemort was getting closer by the second.
"Let's go home than shall we?" asked Evelyn.
"Ok," Remus said nodding. They held their wands out in front of them and apparated to their house.
Evelyn and Remus lived together in a small cabin on the edge of a forest on the outskirts of London. They had lived together since their Hogwarts graduation. Sirius had lived with them as well, before he got sent to Azkaban.
The cabin was of fair size, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. One bathroom was Evelyn's and the other had been shared by Remus and Sirius. Most of Sirius' things had been left in his room, except some clothes Remus had taken to Sirius while he was hiding out in Grimmauld Place.
There was a nice living room with a couch and a couple of armchairs in it. There was a large fireplace and a coffee table. There was also a desk in the corner of the room where they would do work if they had any and whatnot.
The kitchen wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small. It was just the right size for three or now two people to live in. The cabin also had a basement with a door made of steel on the inside of the basement, and a door made of wood to cover the steel one on the inside of the cabin.
Remus and Evelyn were standing in the living room now, a somewhat awkward silence between them.
"It's getting late," said Remus, "the sun's already set."
"Yea, I know," said Evelyn.
"Don't you think we should go to the bedroom…?" asked Remus uncertainly looking anywhere except Evelyn blushing slightly.
"Um…yea…." Evelyn answered also blushing.
There was a minute of awkward silence. They still hadn't made any indication of moving toward the bedroom….or each other for that matter.
"You know…," said Remus matter-of-factly, "standing halfway across the room from each other isn't going to change much."
Remus was smiling at Evelyn. All of a sudden Evelyn looked up at Remus a smile on her face.
"You know…I think you're right," Evelyn replied smirking at Remus.
Evelyn walked over to Remus and twirling a piece of her hair between her fingers. A smile lighting up her features somewhat.
"As a matter of fact, you're absolutely right," Evelyn said seductively, smirking again, "so…last one to your room is a rotten salamander egg!"
Evelyn took off running for the stairs. Remus stood dumbstruck for a second before he raced after her, catching her around the waist right as she was going to enter the room.
Evelyn and Remus started laughing. All of a sudden Remus pushed Evelyn against the wall, still holding her waist, and kissed her.
Evelyn broke the kiss and looked at Remus, all traces of humor vanishing from her face. Remus looked straight back at her for a few seconds before opening the door, still holding Evelyn.
Remus carried Evelyn inside the bedroom, quietly closing the door behind them, the lock clicking seconds later…
