Puzzles Almost Solved
Midnight had been watching her for about a month now and she knew her aunt was going to strike tonight. Her father was at his most vunerable time, when he isn't himself, when the evil inside him comes, when he's a werewolf. She only hoped she could stop her, or everything is doomed.
"James, let's go." Sirius said as he walked into the boys dormitory that night. "Hey, what are you looking at?"
James was sitting on Remus' bed reading some piece of paper. "Huh, wh, I don't know. I found this with one of Remus' books. It's like a poem, but he put "Prophecy or Warning?" on the top."
"Let me see," Sirius said as he reached for the paper. He read it for a second, the said, "Wow, that's confusing."
James looked outside. "We have some time, lets try and figure this out. Come on, lets get Lil and Peter to help."
"Huh, ok, sure." Both walked out and they walked down into the Common Room.
When they got there, they saw Lily helping Peter with his Muggle Studies assignments. "Hey guys, look at this" James yelled. They were the only four in the room.
"James, quiet down or you'll wake everyone else up." Lily hissed at him. "What did you want us to see?" she asked in a normal tone.
"This, James found it with Remus' stuff." Sirius said as he sat down in one of the chairs around the table.
"He has it labeled as "Prophecy or Warning?" Its really weird." James added.
"Let me see it." Lily said gesturing for the paper. She looked at it, then spoke up. "Ok, we have to figure this out. It says, 'There will come a time/When the past, present, and future collide.' What does that mean?"
"Maybe it's some type of interdimential malfunction or something?" Sirius questioned.
"Dimentions don't malfunction. But who knows. Look at the next lines. 'Dreams of pain/Dreams of fright/All will be shown in the light.' Well, has anyone been having any weird dreams lately?"
"No" James said
"No" Sirius said.
"Cant remember," Peter said.
"Ok then, Remus maybe. Next part. 'A meeting will take place/Right in front or your face/Friends, Traitors, and the long dead/Will meet again along this thread.' Is it just me or does this seem to connect to the beginning about the time periods colliding?"
"I think your right Lil. It does seem to connect. A meeting between 'Friends, Traitors, and the long dead' at different time periods. It would explain the ones 'long dead'" Sirius theorized.
"Wow" James said, looking at Sirius in awe.
"What?" Sirius questioned.
"Something intelligent actually came out of your mouth. There must be something wrong with the dimentions, you cant be our Sirius" James said with a straight face. He then leaped from his spot on the coach with Lily and landed on Sirius and yelled, "What have you done with my friend?!"
Sirius looked back at James and simply replied, "I killed him and had to take over his body to survive. Now that you know, you must also die." He threw James off him and both fell to the floor and began to wrestle. After a couple of minutes, then eacher were hit with a book.
"Will you two settle down, there are more important things to be done right now. Especially after this next part, I think its talking about Sirius." Lily said.
"Huh, what, the star part?" James asked perplexed.
"I think I can figure out the whole thing give a little—"
"Guys, come quick! Remus is loose!" Ganaymede came in yelling. She looked frantic and seemed to not care who heard her talk about Remus.
The guy's face went pale and they all raced outside.
Lily looked panicked, but after a second looked thoughtful. "Gan, when did you find out about Remus?"
"Umm, uh, I figured it out!" Gan had that deer in the headlights look in her eyes for a moment, then it was covered up again.
"Ok, that I can accept, but what about Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs? James had to tell me about that one. It was impossible to figure out."
Gan's face changed. It now had an evil look that Lily had never seen on her friends face. And when she spoke, her voice changed to a slightly deeper, and harsher voice she had never heard before. "I'm sorry Lily," her face showed she was clearly not, "but you're going to make me do this." Before Lily could more or even think of uttering a spell, Gan had put her in a body bind and she fell to the ground solid as a rock. Lily felt betrayed. She couldn't believe one of her best friends was doing this to her. She just wished she could warn the others.
