Chapter 7: Supposed to Forget

After all the classes were done for the day, Faith walked down to the dungeons. She slowly opened up the Potions classroom, Serverus was at his desk, bent over a piece of parchment and didn't notice Faith come in. Faith silently tiptoed over to a seat in the way back. She sat down and propped her feet up on the desk.

Serverus's head peeked up and then went down to his parchment. His head then snapped up and he jumped backwards in his chair.

"Hey Teach." Faith said with a little wave.

"Faith...you...I didn't hear you come in." Serverus said quickly lying to cover up his jumpiness.

"Lucius Malfoy's son attends this school." Faith stated.

"Oh yes...that...Well, I highly doubt Lucius will come after you while you are here." Serverus said getting up from behind his desk and walking around to the desk in front of Faith.

"Serverus...do you remember that day?" Faith asked.

"How could I forget? It seems like a lifetime away. At least I got to return to the wizarding world...but you...you had to go live a life among muggles. Tell me...how was it?" Serverus asked sitting in the desk chair.

"It took some getting used to...I started a business. That's actually how I got to see Sarah..." Faith said trailing off. Serverus noticed this and waited for Faith to finish the sentence.

"Serverus. I just realized I need to be somewhere. I'll talk to you later." Faith said getting up and running out of the room.

"Bye." Serverus muttered softly after she had left. Serverus got up and gave a small laugh. It seemed all through his life Faith was coming in and leaving suddenly. He hoped this time she was here for good.

Faith started to thomp up the stairs towards the Astronomy Tower. As she hit the halfway mark, her pace slowed. By the time she reached the top she was breathing heavily. She looked down the long staircase and sighed

"I don't remember it always being this high." She then opened the door and found it empty. Well almost empty. There was a rather large picture of a man with large glasses and a long beard hanging in the room.

"Hes not here. He went down stairs about half an hour or so ago." The man said. Faith nodded and gave a sigh of frustration before descending the stairs.

Faith decided her best bet was to go the Teachers Quarters. She walked down the hall and turned left. She then found the portrait that was third on the left with the picture of a tall man reading a book.

"Password?" He asked not looking up from his book.

"Uhhh..Hogwarts." Faith said hopefully. The man shook his head slowly and kept on reading his book. Faith thought long and hard about what the password could be. She knew it had to be something easy to remember and probably something to do with Sarah, almost all of Remus's passwords had to do with Sarah.

"Deluna?" Faith asked. The man nodded and let Faith proceed into Remus's room. Faith shivered as she walked farther into the room. It was dead cold. Faith looked over to where the bed was. Remus's sheets were a deep purple while Faith's were a light red (not that that is really important but it makes the room feel gloomier if the sheets are dark)

On the floor was a yellowed piece of parchment. Faith bent down and picked it up. She opened it and read:

My Dearest Remus,

I know that by writing this I am risking my neck. I don't care either.

I just wanted to let you know that I am alive and well.

After writing this I will probably end up moving again, where I don't know. Probably several places. I will tell you all about my adventures though when I return to you, my love.

How is everyone?

It must be extremely hard for Faith to see Sirius in Azkaban. Its so horrible that they think he killed Lily and James. Utterly Horrible. If I was back there I would slap Faith so hard. Why does she think she can do this? Doesn't she know she could get killed....I guess she'd probably say that I'm a hypocrite though.

I can't wait till this war is over and I can see you again, my darling.

I love you. Always

Love you Forever, Sarah

Faith then noticed the date on the letter. Sarah would have written it just as Harry would be turning 5, but...Sarah had to have been holding onto this letter for some time because Faith only saw her 6 years ago when she went on a business trip to the states.

'Of course...Remus doesn't know that. For all he knows I got this from Sarah the day she wrote it. I'll tell him' Faith thought folding up the letter and putting it into her pocket.

"Ahh! Its raining!" Lily said as she threw her hands over her head and ran towards the castle.

"No Shit Brainy!" Faith hollered as she ran up behind Lily, Sarah close behind.

"You swear like a sailor." Sarah giggled as they three made their way to the library.

"I know...doesn't bother my father. Bothers Mrs. Weasley a lot though." Faith said.

"Mrs. Sloom, may I speak with you?" Professor Flitwick asked coming up from behind them as the three entered the library. Faith reluctantly followed Professor Flitwick into a corner.

"I was wondering if you would mind tutoring a student." He said.

"No...I wouldn't mind...who did you have in mind?" Faith asked him

"A fellow first year. A slytherin. Serverus Snape." He said.

"This place is perfect for the wedding!" Sarah yelled.

"As long as it doesn't rain." Lily said looking up. Sarah had picked the perfect spot. It was just on top of a hill and overlooked a lake. There was nice green grass and a blue sky overhead.

"So long as the sky stays blue I'd say its perfect." Remus said smiling and giving Sarah a quick kiss, while Faith and Lily went 'ooohhhh!'
