Once they separated, Remus looked around nervously, Well then, where were we?

It doesn't matter where we were, does it? We're here now.

Remus's expression softened. There was a glimmer of something in his tired eyes. You are serious aren't you.

You doubted my sincerity? . . . Oh Remus, Her eyes looked at him steadily, In all of this mess, You have been the one thing I was certain of.

But, . . . how is that possible? the questioned escaped.

It's true. Isn't that enough? She bit her lip, waiting.

Remus closed his eyes for a second. There was no delaying this scene. No retreat. How stupid he had been. Yes, it is. I have always been certain of you.

Hermione was suddenly feeling very goofy. So it's decided then. She did a funny little half skip. Remus was hardly better, So it seems. Should we get married before telling Johann?

I think that would be quite fitting. What does one need for a wizard wedding?

Another wizard. I think Isabelle would do.

Excellent. Let's go find her.

Harry Potter was sitting in Dumbledore's office. What's going on Fawkes? he asked idly. He had a feeling he already knew. He heard voices outside the door.

Yes Severus, you know where they are. Ahh, Harry good. Have an allsort?

They looked suspiciously old. No thanks.

Dumbledore folded his hands on his desk, It's started Harry. There's as yet nothing you can do, but it's best to know anyway.



It was bound to sooner or later. It just happens to have been sooner.

Thank you for telling me professor.

Oh, and Harry one more thing. I have a bit of a task for you. There are things in this letter Ronald Weasley should know about. He held out a parchment. You are, I think, the best person to tell him.

So that's happened too. Harry took the parchment gingerly and grimaced at it.

That is all for now. Thank you.

Harry walked out holding the letter as if it might explode. This was a task he didn't envy anyone.

author's notes: So it seems I've gotten some people a little confused with my plot and whatnot. It is, however, all my own. I've borrowed some historical names that I liked (Geat for example), but I do have a grand plan for everyone I've brought into the story. And I'll explain some of the silly stuff I put in near the end.
Plastic: Remus is not prophesied to die, never fear. The person who used to be Odessa, Ivan, already did. (thank you for your reviews, they've made my week.)
