He looked around and couldn't see anyone else. But that didn't mean that the weren't still there. It seemed to be hours before Lupin found someone. It was Hermione. But she wasn't moving. By the look of it, she seemed to be sleeping. Lupin touched her arm and it was ice cooled. Suddenly he knew what was wrong, she wasn't sleeping, she was dead.
Lupin woke quiet suddenly. He felt so cold. The window was open and a cold wind was coming in. Lupin walked over to the window and closed it. Then he remembered the dream he had. It scared him. He cared so much for her.
It was not like he could just walk up stairs to talk to Hermione because she was at the headquarters. He was at his house. But he had to find out. Lupin got dressed and went into his study. Sitting on his desk was a red book. He grabbed and stuck it into his pocket. He then apperated into the headquarters.
He thought it might be best if he apperated on the upstairs landing so he did not shock anyone when he just appeared there. He walked down the stairs. Compared to his bedroom, it was very warm. He saw no one, and could hear nothing either. As he neared the kitchen, he heard Tonks' voice from inside. He pushed the door open and saw that Tonks and Molly Weasley were sitting at the table. Tonks went silent the moment he entered.
Molly, however said, "Remus, we were not expecting you. But would you like a cup of tea?"
He did not respond right away, but then he whispered, "Sure, where is Hermione?"
Molly, who had already started to make some tea, stopped. Tonks looked up at him, tears were running down
her cheeks.
"Remus, why don't you sit down." Tonks whispered, her voice was shaking, "We will talk once Molly is done."
Lupin sat down in a chair across from where Tonks was sitting. Molly did not take very long to fix the tea. She set down three cups and then poured tea into each of them.
Once she sat down, Molly began to talk, "Remus, since you have been gone, a lot has happened." She drank a little tea to clear her thought, " Hermione is upstairs sleeping. About a week after we got here, she fell ill. She is very sick. We don't have a clue what is the matter."
Once Molly had stopped, Tonks began to cry. Her weeping was not very loud but Lupin could tell that Tonks was very distressed. He turned away from Tonks and looked at Molly. He face was the same way. She had not begun to cry but was very close it.
molly waited until Tonks was under control before she started again. "You have to understand that this is very serious because she has a very high fever. We are taking her to Saint. Mungo's hospital tomorrow. You can come if you would like, although I don't think you need to answer, I think I already know it." She gave a small smile towards Lupin.
" Of course I will come."
After they finished their tea, Tonks and Molly went to bed. Lupin stayed in the kitchen. 'I hope she is alright' he thought to himself, ' I wonder if there is more to this then Molly is telling me?' Lupin didn't think about that again, that night.
He did not know when he fell asleep. He had the same dream again. Was it telling him something?
