Ch.42: Remus to the Rescue!
Future clip: Year: 1979
"Hello Albus how are you?" A tall sandy haired, sickly looking man asked as he entered the man's office.
"Very good; thank you Remus." An older looking man said with a kind tone.
"Is there something you needed me for?" Remus asked a bit confused of what he was doing there.
"Yes, something has occurred to me Mr. Lupin."
"What is that, sir?"
"Well do you remember during you seventh year, the Wolfethian war started?"
"Yes I do, it's still going on now." Remus said sadly
"Yes it, well do you remember when Ms. Evans or shall I say Mrs. Potter informed us one night that hunters, wolf hunters were coming to the castle?"
Remus thought for a moment.
"Yes, I do you told Emily and I to go to the willow so they wouldn't harm us." Remus exclaimed remembering the event.
"Yes, well after that occurred did Mr. Potter or Mr. Black ever tell you how they left or how they were apprehended?"
"Vaguely, something I think about someone leading them of our tail or something to that affect, why?"
"Well when the hunters entered the great hall a man with sandy blond hair entered."
"Sandy-blond hair?" Remus questioned thinking of who this person could be. Then it hit him.
"It wasn't . . .?" he began
"Yes, it was Mr. Lupin." Dumbledore finished.
"It was you, which means I want you to go back in time and save yourself along with Ms. Templeton or shall I say Mrs. Lupin."
Remus smiled and stood up.
"When shall I leave?"
"Now the time turner is over on the table twelve turns should do it and remember don't let yourself catch you. Also on the table lies a vial of polyjuice potion, which contains the hair of a young Fenrir Greyback which may come in handy and another vial, but this vial has a moon beam inside it, which will cause you to transform, only use it if necessary.." Dumbledore said.
Remus walked to the table where the time turner and vials laid he picked them up, and put the time turner around his neck and turned it twelve times just as Dumbledore said. He was gone.
"Good Luck Mr. Lupin" Dumbledore whispered, then left his office.
End of future clip
Lily and James hurriedly stalked the halls to find Motley, Davian and Forrester; they were the major prefects of the other houses. Once they found them they informed them of what was going on. James and lily reported to the Great Hall where the whole school would be held.
"You don't think the hunters will find Remus or Emily do you?" James asked nervously as they walked to the great hall.
"God I hope not, Emily told me what they plan to do with those they've caught." Lily said shakily.
"And what is that?"
"They plan to kill or torture them, something about lycanthic code; she didn't really want to go into it."
Lily and James entered the hall. Numerous students looked confused as to why they were told to report to the hall. James and Lily found Sirius and Alicia, they had gone of to the great hall together when James and Lily when to find the other house prefects.
Outside
"You don't think they'll find us o you?" Emily asked as she gripped Remus's hand a bit tighter with nervousness.
Remus stopped; they were a few yards away from the tree.
Emily stopped abruptly and turned to look at Remus.
"What is it?" she asked worriedly.
"I promise you they will not find us. Do you trust me?"
"Yes, of course."
The Spinning stopped and Remus landed on the forest floor with his feet on the ground solid. He looked around and took out his wand. He scanned the area and began walking towards the school keeping a look out for him self and Emily.
His position was near the lake. He made his way up towards where the whomping willow stood. There a few yards away stood his seventeen year old self along with his seventeen year old fiancé.
Remus took gentle steps forward trying not to make a sound.
Crackkkkkkkk!
Remus looked down; he stepped on a large branch which cracked beneath his weight.
"Shit," He said under his breath he looked to Remus and Emily.
"They won't . . ." Remus began but then stopped. Emily looked around.
"Did you hear that?" She asked
"Yeah," Remus said he looked around towards the forest as did Emily.
Remus ducked behind a tree and stood still.
Remus turned to Emily. "Come on we better hurry." He said firmly and led Emily to the tree. He grabbed the Long Branch from the ground and poked the wooden knot that lay by its base, he pushed it and the tree stopped moving. He led her through the passage way and they entered his room.
"Phew," Remus said as he looked over the tree's trunk. Remus and Emily had gotten in to the tree safely.
"Com on this way, the schools just a few yards this way," a Tall man with a stern voice called out.
Remus looked over.
Marques Jatoli stood just a matter of two yards away from him; he was Grey Back's Right hand man. Two other hunters followed him.
Remus then ducked away and ran towards the whomping willow.
He had forgotten that it was mobile again.
Suddenly Remus hit the ground some feet away from the tree. The tree had thrown him twenty feet away into a small patch of grass.
Remus soon regained his stability and looked up. Jatoli and his men entered the castle. Remus ran after them, but suddenly stopped. Three figures emerge from the forest.
Remus looked at them closely.
"No, that can't be?" He asked himself, but sure enough it was a younger Thomas Riddle, a younger Malfoy (Not Lucius, his father) and Black (Sirius's father).
Remus followed them up to the castle with quite a distance away, so they wouldn't see him.
Great Hall
"So, when are they arriving?" Sirius asked
"Anytime now probably, keep your eyes pealed," Lily informed.
"What?" Alicia asked confused.
"Just keep a look out for them or anything suspicious."
Suddenly three men entered the great hall. It didn't take them long to find it. They scanned the room in search of Remus and Emily. Jatoli walked up the aisle. Everyone was silent in the room. Dumbledore looked up with anger.
"Are you Professor Dumbledore?" the man asked
"Yes how can I help you gentlemen?" he asked politely.
"Ve are zooking for two of zor students, Mister Lupin and a Ms. Templeton et es ver important that we see zem, now." He said.
"What do you need them for and who are you?" Dumbledore asked
"My name ez Marques Jatoli, I need them for reasons that don't concern you. Where are they?"
"They are not here, and how dare you come in to this school uninvited and rudely demanding for students which have no business with you."
"Very vell, Boyz search the ground use moon beams If you have to." Jatoli ordered.
"You will not search the grounds I forbid it!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
"Watch me,"
Jatoli waved off his followers and they both turned away to leave.
Hall Way
Remus still behind Voldemort stopped by a class room entrance and pulled out the polyjuice potion vial. He opened it carefully and drank it nearly gagging. The vial smashed to the floor causing Voldemort to turn around along with Malfoy and Black. Malfoy and black came around the corner and came face to face with Remus. Voldemort soon approached.
"Fenrir what are you doing here I thought you had your followers do the work for you?" Voldemort asked in a low whisper.
"I did, but I changed my mind, I don't need them anymore, the werewolves that is." Remus said trying to make it seem as if he was really Fenrir.
"I see, well you go on ahead we'll follow you, we're looking for . . . well you know who." Riddle said.
"No, who?" Remus asked.
Voldemort gave him an odd look, a look of why don't you know who, I have only told you about a thousand times who I'm looking for.
"Remember our meeting Fenrir, Potter?"
"Oh right sorry I'm a bit out of it, I'm annoyed with my followers, and they uh aren't following orders."
"Yeah I know what you mean." Voldemort said making side glances to Black and Malfoy.
"I go on then, make sure the job is done right."
Remus headed down the stairs and soon reached the Great hall where he saw his supposed followers leaving.
"What are you two doing?" Remus asked sternly, his followers froze. They turned around
"Sir, we, uh, we were just about to search the ground for Lupin and Templeton." One of them said shakily.
"Who told you to do that?"
"Jatoli, sir."
"Well don't, where is he?"
"He's in the great hall."
"Alright come with me."
Remus led them back into the Great hall where everyone looked up at him. Jatoli bent down once he saw him.
"Sir, I didn't know you were coming." He said with his head down, bowing to Remus.
"What the hell are you doing?" Remus asked
"sorry, sir?"
"Why the hell are you bowing, I'm not a king, get off your ass and tell me why you told these two to search the grounds, when I specifically told you not to?" Remus ordered.
"Sir I was just doing what you said . . ."
"What I said?"
"Yes,"
"And what exactly did I say?"
"You said to get Lupin and Templeton and bring them to Moonlight Row."
"I never said such thing." Remus said.
"But sir that's what you . . ."
"Are you challenging me, Jatoli? because if you are that was a wrong choice to make."
"No! sir, no"
"Very well, leave, I don't need them . . ."
"But sir what about the plan."
"Forget the plan, it done, finished, over, that's it, now go. Report back to the hollow. Now." Remus said.
Jatoli realizing that he could no longer argue followed his orders and left with the two other men. Suddenly Riddle along with Malfoy and Black entered. Remus turned around.
Remus then whipped out his wand and pointed it at James.
"Caniskilenta!" he shouted James fell to the floor unconscious.
"James!" Lily screamed. She knelt down to the floor next to him.
"Step away from him, mudblood." Remus said with anger. He couldn't believe he just called his best friend a mudblood.
Lily stepped away.
"Greyback what are you doing?" Riddle exclaimed nervously with his wand pointed at him.
Remus pause sensing riddles wand behind him.
Remus then took out another vial out of his pocket it was the moon beam. He turned around and raised the vial up.
"Fenrir what is that?" Malfoy asked
"One," Remus said and began to twist the lid off.
"Fenrir?" Riddle asked cautiously.
"Two." Remus said taking the cap off slowly.
"Greyback?" Black said
"Three." Remus unleashed the moonbeam and began to transform.
Students screamed. And Voldemort along with Black and Molfoy stepped back. Remus now fully transformed grabbed his wand with his mouth and charged at them. The three of them ran out of the great hall.
Soon they were on the ground and Voldemort, Malfoy and Black ran into the forest.
Whomping willow
"Do you hear that Remus?" Emily asked. She was sitting on his bed while Remus play soft tunes on the Piano with the mute pedal down.
He stopped playing and looked up to listen.
Distant sounds of howls could be heard.
"Yeah, sound like . . ."
"A Werewolf," Emily finished. She walked to the window and looked out onto the grounds.
"Oh my gosh, it is a werewolf, Remus come look!"
Remus ran to the window and looked out. On the grounds was a werewolf chasing three men. But the abruptly stopped.
"What's he doing?" Remus asked
"I don't know." Emily said.
Remus stopped running when he knew they had fled far into the woods. He fell to the ground and was nude. Remus picked up his wand and magically dressed himself. He was in a good amount of pain from the transformation even though it wasn't for long.
Remus got up and struggled back to the school to explain what had happened, for he needed to let Dumbledore know that it was safe for Remus and Emily to return and to also wake up James.
"James." Remus thought to himself. He got up as quickly as he could and began running back to the school.
"He's going back up to the school; shouldn't we tell them that a werewolf is going up to the school?" Emily asked Remus.
"No, the hunters might still be there and one of them could be that guy, it's too risky."
"Alright, in the morning we'll see what happened.
"Okay, it's getting late we should get some sleep." Remus suggested.
"Alright." Remus and Emily went to sleep while Remus went back up to the school. He entered the school carefully. He walked down the stairs and to the great hall.
"James, wake up." Lily said with tears coming down her cheeks.
Madam Pomfrey was trying to heal him right there, since they wee not sure where the werewolf and ventured off to.
Suddenly a semi-wounded Remus entered. Everyone became silent. By this time Remus and transformed back to his normal state and looked like himself and again.
He walked slowly up the aisle to where James laid unconscious.
"Move," Was all Remus could say.
"Who are you?" She demanded.
Remus looked to her.
"Remus Lupin . . ." Suddenly Dumbledore rushed up to them.
Remus looked up to him. "Good evening Professor, I apologize for all of this, for this is my fault. You see the men whom were just here, well Greyback wasn't actually Greyback, it was me, I transformed to look like him and because of the Samolian potion in which I took, his werewolf status was put into me, so when I released the moon beam I transformed into a werewolf and I scared off Voldemort along with Black and Malfoy. I shot James with Caniskilenta, which is a rare, new spell which can make a person unconscious but make it seem as if they're dead. Now I just need at least five minutes to revive him and he should be fine." Remus finished taking a deep breath.
"Of course; Poppy why don't you retrieve the proper ailments for Mr. Lupin while he cures Mr. Potter."
Pomfrey scurried away.
Remus bent down and pointed his wand onto James's chest. He looked up to a sobbing lily.
"Don't worry lily he'll be fine." Remus reassured her.
"Tesscusika, Tesscusika, Tesscusika . . . . " Remus recited those words for the next three minutes. After about four minutes of reciting James woke up.
James's eyes blinked open weakly. Remus stopped reciting. James looked up.
"James?" Remus asked
"What?" James asked.
"Do you know where you are?"
"Hogwarts, Great hall?" he asked.
"Yes, do you know what day it is?"
"January sixth. Nineteen seventy-eight?"
"You're correct."
"Are you in any pain at all?"
"My head,"
"Alright well we can fix that." Remus said with a smile.
Pomfrey returned and handed him a goblet with a potion in it.
Remus drank it and felt better. He stood up and brought James to his feet gently.
"Okay here." Remus said. He flicked his wand a small glass with a blue liquid sat on the table.
"Drink up, you'll feel better." Remus informed.
"Lily, You know who didn't retrieve what he wanted, it was James he was after and Remus and Emily are still in the house, inform no one of this say it handled itself on it's own" Remus said to Lily.
Remus said good bye to Dumbledore. Remus pulled the time turner out from under his shirt.
"Hey moony?" Sirius exclaimed. Remus turned around.
"Am I rich?" he asked with a smile.
Remus smiled and took hold of the time turner.
"Only time with tell my friend." Remus responded and turned the spinner forward twelve times and he was gone.
"Man," Sirius said snapping his fingers together in disappointment. Several students were confused and some laughed.
Dumbledore ordered everyone to return to their dorms and James to the hospital wing. Lily went back to her dorm and Sirius and Alicia went to theirs. Dumbledore let Remus and Emily stay in the Shrieking shack for the rest of the night.
Year 1979
Remus landed in Dumbledore's office, it was quite late but Dumbledore was still there.
"Ah, Mr. Lupin I presume things worked out well?"
"Yes they did, I mean James is still here, alive." Remus said happily.
"Did you use all of the tools I gave you?" Dumbledore asked
"Yes I had to transform I could get by it any other way, but I didn't hurt anyone I assure you of that."
"Good, I'm glad to here."
Please review; tell me if you enjoyed this chapter, it was really long 16 pages wow! So please REVIEW! Thanks
A/N: hey I'm back SAT's are over, I'm not sure how well I did, but I found the test to be a bit difficult so anyway I'm back to writing.
Question: Hey I'm not sure if any of you readers happen to live in the UK, but if any of you do, I was wondering what exactly are A-Levels, Because I know that they're examinations, but I'm not sure what's involved, so if any of you happen to know please inform me. The reason I ask is because a few weeks ago in the Washington Post there was an article about a play that was opening, I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head but the actor who plays Vernon Dursley in the Potter Films was in it and it was about students at a Boys private school taking their A- Levels. So Just wondering E-mail me if any of you know. Thanks
Thanks for the reviews.
