DEFINITION OF A HERO

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter!


Bon Jovi "I'd Die For You"

If you could see inside my heart
Then you 'd understand
I'd never mean to hurt you
Baby I'm not that kind of man

I might not say I'm sorry
Yeah, I might talk rough sometimes
And I might forget the little things
Or keep you hanging on the line

In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry

Chorus:
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

I might not be a savior
And I'll never be a king
I might not send you roses
Or buy you diamond rings

But if I could see inside you
Maybe I'd know just who we are
'Cause our love is like a hunger
Without it we would starve

In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry

Remus John Lupin was looking at the letter in front of him. He had to stay at Grimauld Place during the wedding of Bill Weasley, because of the full moon the day earlier. Even with the Potion he could buy from a Potions master he was exhausted.
How he wished at times likes this to be normal again was beyond believe, but he wasn't. But he was happy for his friends and happy that his honorary godson was with his surrogate family. Until he opened the letter attached to Hedwig's leg.

'No, he wouldn't do this. He knows that there are Death Eaters after him and Voldemort is stronger now than ever. With the death of Albus it is too dangerous to be around these days. '
But here it was, black on white, that Harry had left his aunts care and no longer considered Privet Drive as his home. Although he stated, that he was leaving – not knowing how long.

Remus was exasperated with the carefree tone of Harry, he was relieved to hear of his plans.
"Must gain powers beyond believe, have to train to beat him, wished you would mentor me"

Harry portrayed some of his plans to Remus. 'Shall I leave and guide him with my knowledge, or let the only cub of the Marauders ran in his ruin?'

"Accio bag." A sports bag, not unlikely Harry's zoomed in Remus outstretched hands.

"I am not letting you down Harry. Whatever you want to do, I am coming with you. You're still a minor and now I am your guardian."

Remus left the kitchen of Grimauld Place with a silent "Pop" as he apparated away to Harry.

The cemetery was quiet at this time of the day. Nevertheless one lonely person was walking steadily towards the end of it. Seeing to white tombstones he stopped and kneeled down, in a praying position.

"Mum and Dad, I have finally decided what to do. I am not trying to be an hero again, I never was one. I am merely a boy with bad luck. But it is my destiny to destroy this maniac, so I shall do it. I will train, and I will beat him. And I am not alone. Remus is coming with me, at least I hope he does. After the death of Dumbledore I don't know what he will think, but I planned this since the Professor told me about the past of Riddle. I stumbled upon an secret, that perhaps you two took to your graves with you. I know of Mum's family history as well as yours, Dad. Elves and Gryffindor? Really, that is the oddest genetic combination to be found. I don't know why all odds are happening to me? I just wish to be normal, but I accept that I will never be!"

Harry touched his scar, looking at the marvelled stones in front of him.

White marble, one graced with beautiful carvings of a Lily and a stag, the other with Runic symbols.

"Had I listened to Mione once in my life! Then I could read this!"
"The true meaning of love is to die for someone. To a darling wife and a devoted mother

Mae Govannon balan crann bereth – what means something like good journey, red angelic queen."

Harry startled at the voice.

"Remus, and I thought you would not come." "Harry, you are the only son of two of my best friends. I would follow you to hell and back."

"This is perhaps where we are going, Remus. I don't know what Dumbledore had in his mind telling me about the Elven plane, but I think now I know. My mother was an elf, concealed with charms to appear human. She had no family and so I am still an orphan, but nevertheless, I know what this damned prophecy regards to. "Power the dark lord knows not" – it's all in my blood." Harry looked at his surprised guardian.
"I always knew Lily was special, but I never imagined this."
"Neither did I, but now I am understanding a lot of things better than before. Are you ready to go?" "I am."
Harry chanted a saying and both man were surrounded by a blinding light.
