Chapter Four
By Ronin S. Oath
Sirius Black and Remus Lupin speeds up the steps towards the room in which, what sounded like, two children were yelling at one another with Harry, Ron and Hermione close on their heels.
Reaching the room from which the sounds were coming from, Sirius holds his arm out in front of the three in order to stop them from entering the room while Remus slowly edges the creaky door ajar.
The voices inside instantly discontinued their arguing, an unusual silence following, as the werewolf urges the door the rest of the way open.
Harry and Ron lean around the black haired man in hopes of getting a glimpse of what laid within the room as Remus steps inside, shutting the door behind him.
-
Remus leans against the wooden door, pressing it gently shut as his golden eyes roams from the empty bed in which he was sure he had placed the strange chocolate-haired boy in to the bed farthest away…
And he gasped at what he saw…
Remus quickly averts his eyes.
The brunette jumps off of the silver haired boy and pulls some of the cover over himself as the second boy sits up and glares in Remus's direction.
"Who are you, and where the hell are we?" the platinum haired boy questions once Remus was looking at them again, his voice was harsh, but his eyes were even harsher.
"My name is Remus Lupin. This is one of my friends home," Remus answers as clearly as he could. "If you don't mind me asking… Just who are you?"
The two boys glance at one another, before the brunette answers, "I'm Rei Enna… just call me Zero." Then, after a moment of silence, he adds, "And this weirdo is Hiead Gner."
The silver haired boy lets out an audible snarl before hitting the one called 'Zero' on the back of the skull with his fist. "What did you call me?"
"Ouch!" Zero yelled out, grabbing the back of his head, and glaring at the one known as 'Hiead'. "What do you think you're doing?"
"What did you call me, Enna?"
"Nothing!" the brunette lied.
"Don't lie to me, Enna," the one known as 'Hiead' hissed.
The two glares at each other as Remus slowly moves towards them.
"There's no need to argue," Remus pleads.
The two stop glaring, both of their eyes falling on Remus.
Remus holds his hands out in front of him as a sign of peace. "How did you get here?" he questions, trying to get back on topic.
"Um…" came Zero's intelligent reply.
Hiead shrugs.
-
"Sirius, who's in there?"
Sirius, who was now standing beside the door, listening for any trouble within, looks towards Harry, Ron and Hermione. "That's a little hard to explain…"
"Why don't you start at the beginning?" Hermione said, trying to help him.
Sirius nodded, and began. "A few hours after Mr. Weasley and Ron went to pick you two up, some sort of vortex opened in the middle of the kitchen, and the next thing we knew, those two were here… Remus and I were able to knock them out and check them over for any weapons, but they were unarmed."
"So you don't know who they are?" questions Ron.
"No," Sirius answers. "Remus is trying to get that much out of them now."
-
Remus blinks at Zero's odd description of the place they came from. "So… What you're saying is that this 'G. O. A.' is your home?"
"Yea," Zero answers, as if it were normal to live in space.
"And…" Remus pauses, trying to figure out the best way to ask what is on his mind. 'It's crazy, I know, but they don't seem to be lying about this.' "And what year is it?"
Zero blinks, caught off guard by the odd question.
"4089 AD," Hiead spoke up at least. "Why?"
'4089? That's impossible!' "W-will you excuse me for a moment?" Remus didn't wait for an answer; he sped out of the room, shutting the door behind him, and ran right into Sirius's chest.
Sirius caught Remus by the shoulders just as the werewolf was about to fall. "Remus, what's wrong?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione circle around their friend, and former professor, a worried expression on each of their faces.
