Visions and Hotels
Remus watched as Kate walked. They were walking together, hand in hand, and Kate was talking about Tori and her father. But Remus was too much in a trance to understand what she was saying.
He watched her blond curls bounce on her shoulders as she talked. She had side-parted her bangs and straightened them but left the rest of her hair curly.
Her baby blue eyes glistened as the moon shone on it. Speaking of the moon…no it wasn't a full moon, at this Remus visibly sighed.
Back to her eyes. She turned her head, looking at him in the eyes, still talking. His eyes slowly moved towards her lips. He had to admit, they were very pink. And that he thought was cute. Her cheeks were smooth and everything on her face was perfect. Even her hand fit perfectly in his. He truly did love her.
"…And knowing Tori she probably hasn't realized her father's death yet. And the shock of Voldemort being her father sort of made her forget about her dad too. It's hard for her. But she should realize it pretty soon. Don't you think so?" She asked looking at Remus.
"Yeah…" Remus said absentmindedly.
"Now that you look over it, we've had some day." Kate said.
"Yeah…" He repeated.
"And the escaping method was something very unusual…"
"Yeah…"
"Is yeah all you can say?"
"Yeah…"
Kate smiled.
"Am I ugly?"
"No…" He said still hypnotized by her beauty.
Kate shook her head.
"You're unbelievable, you know that?" She said.
"Yeah…"
At this, Kate laughed.
Suddenly she stopped. Her face went blank, with no emotion.
"Kate! Are you okay?" Remus said shaking her.
She stared at him. Her eyes…they seemed distant. Like she wasn't there. Well she was physically but not mentally.
0o0o0o0o0o0o
Kate was laughing at Remus.
All of a sudden, everything went black.
Kate closed her eyes. What happened?
She opened them. She was standing in the middle of downtown London.
How did I get here?
She looked around.
People were coming out of nightclubs and going home. Had anyone not realized that a girl just popped out of nowhere? Or were they too busy with their own stuff to notice. She wanted to ask someone the time but then she decided against it. Most of the people there looked pretty drunk.
Kate continued looking around, until someone caught her eye. She saw Tori in Sirius's arms. She was crying in his chest.
"Tori!" She tried yelling, but nothing came out. No sound at all.
She tried running over to them, but she was glued to the spot.
Now Kate didn't know what to do.
Then everything went black again. She felt like she was spinning.
Kate closed her eyes.
She opened them again, seconds later, and blinked a few times.
She was back with Remus. Who, by the way, was very worried.
"Kate? What happened to you? Is everything all right?" He asked hugging her.
Kate just blinked.
"Yeah. I'm…I'm fine." She finally said.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I saw Tori. And Sirius. She was crying. I tried to run to her or call out to her, but nothing happened. Then the next thing I knew, I was back here with you." Kate said.
"Kate…what happened back there with Voldemort? Something happened to you…" Remus trailed off trying to remember.
FLASHBACK
(Everything in regular font is the stuff I added, that you weren't supposed to know until now)
Before anyone could make another move, several (more like 50) pops could be heard throughout the room. The aurors had just apparated into the building.
"Lily come on!" James said taking Lily.
Kate heard Voldemort say the killing curse. She saw his wand point at an auror's heart across from him. At the same time, she saw a death eater use that same curse on another auror. She saw the two flashes of green. They had collided, less than three inches away from her. It produced a force so strong, she was blown to the other side.
Kate remembered hearing about effects due to a spell collision in transfiguration. She even remembered the page number they had copied notes from about that. Page 367. But no one cares about the page number. Then she remembered. Kate put her hand to her forehead and groaned.
Things like this may cause some damage to the brain. Well, she could think straight. It probably wasn't going to start until tomorrow. So for right now, she didn't have to think about it.
Remus ran over to Kate.
"Are you okay?" He asked helping her up.
Before she could answer, another explosion came.
Then they heard James run past them.
"Come on!"
Remus grabbed his girlfriend and followed James.
Kate shut her eyes. She shut them tight. Her head was hurting.
She opened her eyes and suddenly felt very dizzy. Suddenly, it stopped. It had ended as quickly as it had come.
"Strange." She whispered.
"Come on Tori! Let them handle this! Right now we need to protect our own lives!" Sirius yelled grabbing Tori's hand. But she wouldn't budge.
"Leave me alone Sirius! I don't want to go! He killed my father! Heck he is my father! I'm going to kill him. And I'm going to kill him myself!" Tori yelled back at him over the noise.
Sirius had to resist the urge to roll his eyes. He tried again, but like last time, she would move. So, he had to do what any guy would do.
He picked her up and swung her over his shoulder.
"LET ME DOWN! LET GO OF ME! DON'T TOUCH ME!" Tori yelled beating his back.
They met up with James, Lily, Kate, and Remus.
END OF FLASHBACK
Lily and James were walking on the sidewalk looking in at the fancy restaurants.
A blonde young girl walked by and giggled as James winked at her. Lily rolled her eyes.
They soon passed a group of girls giggling as they watched James. Once again, he winked at them, causing them to giggle louder.
Lily crossed her arms and glared. She was getting really irritated.
She saw the girls blowing kisses at James.
"They really like me." James said smiling and turning to face Lily. But his smile vanished almost immediately. Lily wasn't there.
"LILY!" He called out.
"Evans I'm sorry okay?" He said looking everywhere.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a glimpse of red hair.
He turned to look and saw nothing but a door swinging.
He ran inside the building he thought she entered.
She was sitting at a lounge, reading a book.
"Evans you scared me!" He said grabbing a seat next to her.
"Go away Potter." She said not looking up at her book.
"Sheesh woman. Evans we need to go find everyone." James said taking the book away from her.
"Well then let's wait until tomorrow! We can't see anything in the dark anyways! And we have no idea how to get back!" Lily said trying to grab the book.
"Yeah and where do you suggest we stay?" James said.
"You're standing inside the place, you dolt." Lily said.
"Okay. I'll buy a room for me and you can buy your own room." James said getting up.
"Well…you see…I don't have any money. So I was wondering…" Lily said.
"If I could buy you a room?" James completed.
"Yeah." Lily said blushing.
A grin spread across James's face.
"I'm only buying one room." He said.
"Potter! You arrogant…pig headed…jerk!" She said following him to the counter.
"One room. Two adults." He said.
"Two rooms." Lily said.
The guy at the front desk looked confused.
"One room."
"Two rooms."
"One room and that's final." James said sternly.
Lily crossed her arms with a loud humph. She glared at the boy while he paid for the room.
"You room is 387." The guy said, uncomfortable with the glares Lily was sending them.
"Try living with her everyday." James whispered.
Unfortunately, Lily heard and stepped on his foot.
Hard.
Making him yelp.
They walked up to the room. And as soon as James opened the door, Lily ran to a bed and collapsed on it.
James mimicked her, but on the other bed.
5 minutes passed and none of them said a word.
"Oh my god." Lily said breaking the silence.
"What?" James asked.
"Tori's father's dead. And Voldemort is her father." Lily said sitting up.
"Oh yeah. I guess I just hadn't realized that when it actually happened." James said quietly looking down.
"Poor girl. She probably hasn't realized it yet either. It takes a while for stuff to get registered in her head." Lily said with a little laugh.
"Yeah. I've had experience." James said smiling.
His smile soon faded away.
"I hope my parents are okay." He said.
"I'm sure they'll be just fine. Can't we floo back or something?" Lily asked.
"Okay first of all. I already paid for the room. Second, where on earth would we get floo powder? And third, the only fireplace is around cameras." James said ticking them off on his fingers.
"So we'll just have to wait until day then?"
"Yep."
"And then what do we do?"
Tori and Sirius walked down the street together silently. A few sniffs could be heard by Tori but nothing more.
Sirius looked over at Tori and was surprised to see her face covered in tears.
"Tori…" He said hugging her.
"Daddy…I hate this! He left! I'll never see him again! I didn't even say bye or I love you or anything! He just left! He left me to deal with this world and that freakin' Voldy dude! Who I find out is my father! No one ever told me I had a different family! I mean they didn't even say anything like your parents died in a car crash or something! No instead they don't say anything! Anything at all! How do I know if my mom is really my mom? And now what if he kills her! But which girl in their right mind would want to have a child with Voldemort? He's the guy who wants to take over the world for god's sake!" Tori said.
She was now yelling and staring up at the sky.
"It's okay Tori. I'm sure there's a reason behind all of this. Calm down." Sirius said pulling Tori to him.
Tori broke out into more tears as she cried into Sirius's chest.
Kate and Remus finally entered downtown London.
They kept walking ahead, past drunken young people, until Kate froze.
"This is it." She said.
"What is it?" Remus asked.
"This is exactly what I saw." She said looking around.
"But Tori was here." As soon as Kate said that, Tori caught her eye.
Like in her vision thingy, Tori were crying into Sirius's chest.
"Tori!" She yelled and ran over to her.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Why does this have to happen to me?" Tori said through his chest.
"Sh…it's okay." Sirius said.
"Tori!" They heard a familiar voice call out.
Tori lifted her head and turned to face Kate.
"Kate!" She yelled and gave her the biggest hug.
"Can't. Breathe." Kate choked out.
"Oh sorry." Tori said and went over to Remus.
"Remus! Are you guys okay?" She asked while hugging Remus too.
"Yeah, we're fine. Umm Sirius…there's a tiger behind you." Remus said staring carefully at it.
"Oh him. His name is Sirius Jr. We say his mummy give him birth and die. So we decided to take him along with us." Sirius said picking Sirius Jr. up.
"Sirius really wanted to keep him." Tori said wiping her tears.
"It's okay Tori. There's nothing we can do about your father. I'm sure he would want you to always smile and go on with your life. I don't think he wants to see you crying." Remus said hugging Tori again.
"Yeah you're right. He would have never wanted me to be unhappy." Tori said smiling.
"Now let's go find Lily and James…if they haven't killed each other yet. We also need a leash for Sirius Jr." Sirius said still holding Sirius Jr.
"Before we find them…could we go shopping?" Kate asked, making a puppy face.
