Tiger:Sickens? Oh dear. I've done it now haven't I?

The door opened and closed. Voices out side in the hall were hurried and hushed. Harry layed as still as he possibly could. After a few minutes the morning rutine decied it was ready to begin. Harry crawled out of bed and wondered to the bath room. Though he was intrupted twice he quickly made it back to his and Ron's room.
"Ron time to get up." he said rumaging for a shirt in the bottom of his trunk. Ron moan and rolled over. "Come on Ron."
"I'm not falling for it George go away." Ron grummbled pulling his pillow over his head. Harry rolled his eyes and ripped the covers off his best friend.Ron reached around trying to find his blankets, realizing they were gone he sat up and looked around."Harry! What was that for?" he asked sleepily.

"It's time to get up. Somethings going on." Harry replied pulling up his jeans. Ron dressed as quickly as he could and the two ran down the hall to wake the girls. They found Hermione and Ginny already awake and in the process of pulling their hair back.
"What do you two know about what's going on?" Hermione questioned yanking the brush through her hair.
"Nothing. You?" Harry asked.
"Nottda."Ginny said tying a white ribbion in her hair.
"So what are we waiting for? There's plenty of people here to ask." Hermione said standing up and tossing her brush back on her bed. Harry smirked he could of swore he heard her curse the brush.
The four teens made there way down stairs. The whole house seemed empty, impossibly empty. Not a sound was heard. Something grabbed Harry's shoulder making him jump.
"Just as bad as your father. He would get so wrapped up in his thoughts or mysterises." Kurt said.
"You scared us." Ginny protested.
"I'm sorry dear, but I thought you would want to know what they're talking about before you barge in asking questions."
"What's that?"Hermione pushed.
"Well, for starters Remus and Sarah are gone. I'm not to say where they have gone nor why. But it isn't out of character either."Kurt said only confusing Harry more. Kurt obviously knew something and wasn't going to say.
"Oh well, thats bloody brilliant. You know everything and will tell nothing. What kind of help is that?" Ron asked agitated.
"What do you mean it's not out of character for them to just get up and leave like this?" Hermione probed.
"The two of them were always doing stuff like that. Of course in school they were normally paired up, being the top of their classes, for projects. Later he would just show up and the two would spend the day in book stores or something."
"Is there something between those two?" Ginny asked excitedly wanting dirt on anybody.
"Not to my knowledge. No. No. No, they are definatly just friends. The good Lord wouldn't want it any other way. Most definatly after this summer's happenings." Kurt said before dissappearing again in a little cloud of smoke.
"That bloaks just mental." Ron commented as they took the last ten paces to the kitchen. Everyone sat at the table Logan and Scott in front arguing over what they were to do. A few people had maps, and there was several mentions of 'the house, they would return there no?'. When they entered Harry was ushured to the front.
"Jamie Jr we've got to talk later. For now Herm...Herm... Girl with the bushy hair. Yeah you. What do you know of the local muggle roads?"
"Not much sir. They should be the same as most other muggle roads." Hermione said offhandly. Logan smirked and uttered something under his breath.
"Okay then. Kids you'll stay here in case they return."
"Who returns?" Sarah's voice asked from the back of the room. Logan's mouth dropped as everyone began their scoldings."Look everyone, I'm fine. But right now I'm going to shower and get ready my lil sis will be here soon. Harry dear I've got a book I want to read with you. But all can wait." Sarah had made her appearence and was gone just as quick. Remus stood in the back of the room arms folded across his chest and a smirk on his face.
"Lupin and Wagner. Come here I need to ask you something." Logan said. Everyone else spread out over the house they had a few hours before Sarah's sister would come so several either set to cleaning or back to bed. Harry and the gang ate breakfast then went to a small quiet room on the third floor.

"I don't like these people." Ron said adding a card to the house they were building.
"Why? They seem nice enough." Ginny said.
"They know something they're not telling us." Ron answered.
"Does anyone else feel like we're being treated like children?" Harry asked as the house of cards crumbled.
"To them we are second generation. You heard Remus. They don't think of us as anything more the the children of friends or the children of those who used to be their friends." Hermione supplied.
"I wonder what made Peter cross over." Ginny asked.
"He felt like a shadow. For once he wanted to stand out in the crowd." Harry murrmured.
"Possibly." Hermione agreed. But before she add her comments the door bell rang.
"I bet that's them." Ron mummbled starting to rebuild their house of cards.
"What do you think Eve is like?" Ginny inquired.
"From what everyone is saying she's a little stranger than normal." Ron answered.
"Isn't everyone here?" Harry joked.
"Children you need to come down stairs." Snapes voice droned from the door way.

"Yes sir." Hermione said getting up and pushing the table forward so Ginny could crawl out from between it and the sofa as she had done. Harry and Ron didn't seem so sure but followed the girls as they followed the potions master down the stairs to what might as well of been called the meeting room. There was only two other people here they somewhat knew. Kurt and Sarah the two jabbered on in a language none of the four teens understood while a woman, who looked idinical to Sarah except where Sarah's hair had red and gold strands her's was green and silver and she had a oval on her forehead that seemed to swirl with the calm colors of a lake, stood on watching.
"German?" Hermione whispered. Appearntly Ginny had asked her of the tongue they were speaking.
"Vicky tell you this?" Ron sneered.
"Sar I brought the children as you asked. I'm going to go talk with Molly seek me out when you are finished here." Snape said with the slight hint of affection. This was something Harry could never have imagined of course Sarah and now that he saw her Eve had a look to them that made you want to give up your own life for them. He prayed to what ever god that might exist they weren't part vela he'd personally had enough of them for a long while though Bill obviously hadn't.

"Yes, I know Daddy." Sarah taunted. Snape only shook his head and walked out of the room.
"Who peed in his breakfast?" the strange woman asked.
"Who knows that guy has more problems in the head than the entire wizard population. So Sis this is Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Ronald Weasley, and I'll never rember the other boys name." Sarah joked.
"In the name of all that's holy. Long this is Harry James. How on earth could you forget his name. Jamie's pride and joy. If it hadn't been for him and Lilly our dear Prongs wouldn't of gotten up in the mornings or gone to bed in the evenings."
"If it wasn't for him Jamie dear would of had alot more sleep in though."
"True. Har was a fussy little brat."
"Sisters, he's still in the room." Kurt reminded them.
"Yeah. Anyway young 'uns this is my sister Eve. Eve this is our replacements." Eve stared at each of them.
"Ohh dear you can see the Black influence in their eyes can't you. That deep look. Always concealing the truth." she said looking at Ron and Ginny impaticuarly."But Jamie couldn't denie this one for all the gold in the world. Granger...? That was the name of the muggle dentist right?"
"Yeah. Nice enough but I told them my tooth was just fine. Would of rather gone to the vet. Muggle numbing meds are so over rated."
"My parents are very well respected people." Hermione offered.
"I don't doubt that for a moment dear girl."
"Then why speak so little of them?" Hermione pushed further.
"Speak little of them. I drug two screaming wizards to be to your parents every 6 months. I told everyone who was a muggle of them. Child your parents are amazing people. However I would rather be put under completly than be worked on with a muggle number." Sarah supplied.
"I thought you were a nanny to muggle children." Ginny questioned.
"I was. Muggle borns, really. A milk man, he was a widower. Has two sons. Colin and Denis Creevy. You should know them. Wonderful children just like cameras too much for me."

"Where's my puppy love? He's normally come bounding in wagging his tail by now." Eve asked looking around. Harry chewed his bottom lip.
"Children lets let these two be." Kurt said urging them out of the room. He shut the door behind him and called Bill to gaurd it and make sure no sound came out. Bill did so with out questioning him. This seemed a little odd, but the blue devil man was a little werid.

"He won't be here Evey." Sarah said saddly.
"What? You mean he's off on a mission or something..Right?" Eve asked nervously. Her sister had lost too much to lose him too. She knew Sarah wouldn't cry infront of anyone but Remus and Kurt. Everyone else got this strong front that was enough to put you off questioning for a long while.
"No, he went to gather Harry when he and the little ones broke into the ministry and...He fell through the veil." Sarah said quietly. Eve summoned all her courage not to drop to the ground cursing and swearing. No, Kurt had taught her better than that. The three of them had raised each other. Over come challenges no one else has dreampt of but this was pushing every button in the book.

"Uhh ah. No way. You can just tell him to get his fury little dog butt back on this side. He's not leaving you alone." Eve tried to convince herself this was possible.
"Don't you think I tried that? You think I just let the only man I've ever loved slip away like that. Eve you know me better than that. If you don't Re will tell you I didn't just leave it alone."
"What was the payment this time?"Eve asked. She knew her sister had gotten something from the death eaters. She always did. Sarah had a way with words. Not only that she had a way with men. Not a sleezy one night stand kind of thing she could flirt or something with them long enough to get dirt then she'd black mail them or put truth elixer in their drinks. Oh she knew her sister wasn't going to let anything stop her from her "purpose".
"The servants. Though I'm sure the snake is a fake and the rat..." Sarah hesitated. Though she'd swear that Sirius was the only man she had ever loved James and Peter had made the list at some point. Her and Peter hadn't lasted long but it was intense. She deystoryed him and all in a two week long relationship. James was nothing. They both would tell you that. Sarah blamed herself for the way things had ended up and that won't even begin what killed her the most.

"So we got fakes in return?"
"NO. Wormtail wanted out. He got his revenge. Just like with Regulus. You can't just say no that you quit. Not that easy. Nope we have the real rat. When they find out; his soul goes to the dementors." Sarah rubbed her fists in her eyes.
"Sis, do you really feel sorry for him?" Eve questioned.
"Not even the Dark Lord deserves to have his soul sed out. With out a soul he can't even feel pain. He's shown us no mercy therefore I don't want to show him mercy."
"And Bellatrix?"
"I want to do to Bella what she did to Alice and Frank. I want her to be driven insane by pain. I want her to see her son and not know who he is. Do you know what that's like?" Sarah questioned. Eve knew what it was like. Her ablities had left her periodically without memories a few times.
"We'd all like to do that to her." Eve watched Sarah as she turned her back to her. She watched the fire burn. Burning is all her sister felt anymore. She was an empty shell. Her core was burning. All she had was Harry. She'd never asked help with anything. Sarah lived off of her promises and once Harry was out of school he'd no longer be a promise.
"Longears?"
"Why the innocent ones?"Sarah wept quietly.
"Because taking the guiltly would make things to easy." Eve replied.
"Why my little angels?"Sarah begged for an answer. There wasn't one. Eve came and cradled her sister in her arms.
