"Mr Lupin! What is that... boy doing out of bed? And- oh..." the healer stopped and stared at the body. She quickly got another two people to remove it, then turned back to Jerimiah.

"He is supposed to stay in bed until we say."

Jerimiah stood slowly, then placed Remus on the bed. He looked so tiny, lying in a tight ball in the sea of white. Jerimiah found it hard to believe what had happened.

"Mr Lupin, you have visitors. They wish for you to join them in the tea room."

He nodded mutely and, after pushing his sons hair out of his eyes, followed the Healer out of the room.

"Mr Lupin! Mrs Lupin!"

The Healer ran down to their table and struggled to regain her breath.

"You remember our talk-?"

"You are in no way to harm my child." Sandra said coldly, rising from the table.

"No, but, someone came in and gave him a glass. We can't find a counter potion, and we figure we have two minutes before the poison takes effect!"left him, curled up with his thumb in his mouth. He lay still for a number of moments, then his body convulsed. He writhed in pain, coughing into his cupped hand, gasping for breath. After five or so minutes of staring in horror, the Healer murmured, "it should have been over by now." They waited for a while more, then Remus stopped, coming to rest on his back with both hands covering his face. Sandra stepped forward and gently prised them off. She gasped when she saw his face, pale white and caught in an expression of excrutiating pain. Jerimiah frowned and moved closer. He felt Remus' forehead, and checked for a pulse.

"Healer Lonigan. He is alive, although in need of medical attention. If you could assist?"

She came forward and started performing all sorts of spells on him. Eventually she turned to the others.

"I don't know what happened. He is either in a coma or a very deep sleep. I'm afraid he'll only waken when he is ready."

Sandra picked him up and carried him to the door.

"Mrs Lupin, that boy is supposed to stay-"

"He will. I am taking him home, to avoid more accidents. I trained in healing, I'll be more then capable of caring for my own son."

Not mine, not mine. sigh

Anywho, I thought I should warn you. This story will be dramatic. Remus will become someone vey important, but I'll let you guess who. You all know him. And it's already written, so you shouldn't have to wait long for updates. It depends if I like you or not. MWAHAHAHAHA... or maybe not.
