Ch.43: Explanation
The Bright sun of January filled the old shrieking shack with a haze of yellow. Emily and Remus lay quiet on the four poster, queen sized bed. The sun hit Remus's eyes and he shrugged around trying to block it out of his view.
Emily feeling Remus's movements woke up to see that the sun was indeed up and to the pleasurable fact that she was in no pain. She looked down and wrapped around her torso was an arm. She looked around to see Remus who was still trying to get his head out of the sun light.
"Remus," Emily whispered.
"Mmmmm," Remus grunted
Emily gave out a little chuckle.
"Wake up it's morning, it's Friday."
Remus opened his eyes to find Emily's dark brown eyes starring at him, he smiled.
"Okay," he mumbled and lifted his head.
"Emily turned over and sat up on the bed. She walked to the window and looked out, she could see the tops of buildings from the hogsmead village. Remus got out of bed and walked to the window where she stood. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight.
"I wonder if the others are alright." Emily said.
"Hopefully voldemort didn't do any harm."
"Yeah, lets get dressed and se them," Emily said. Remus agreed and they changed back into the clothes they wore the day before.
-Hospital Wing-
Lily had been sitting next to James in the hospital wing since seven o'clock that morning. As she looked down to his sleeping body all she could think of was how she thought she had really lost him. She couldn't believe Remus had done what he did; she was thankfull for what he did for lily couldn't think of what voldemort might have done.
"What was the samolian potion?" Lily asked herself. She had never heard of that potion, but then again Remus did say it was a new potion along with the new spell he had hit James with.
Then it hit her!
"That wasn't a real potion; he was lying, but why?" Lily asked her self.
Lily wrapped her self in thought just as Sirius and Alicia came into the ward.
"Lily, how are you?" Alicia asked
"Fine, I was just thinking of what happened last night, about Remus and what he did."
"Us to, man Remus is one hell of a smart bloke," Sirius said.
"Yeah, but I didn't understand the whole potion and charm thing he did last night." Alicia said looking back on what happened.
"I was thinking about that as well, I know that there is no Samolian potion, or well a potion that can transform you into another person and also transfer their powers on to you."
"Your right lily, he probably said those things so no one would think he's a werewolf," Sirius said.
Lily thought for a moment
"You're right. That's probably why he did that."
"If Remus saved the day, then what will happen now, I mean is this whole fight finished or is there more to come?" Alicia asked looking to Lily
"I don't know, Voldemort still plans to get into Gringgotts ( A/N: I think I spelled that wrong sorry.) and the ministry.
"Oh I forgot about that part."
James soon woke up and Remus and Emily arrived. Pomfrey checked James over.
"Well Mr. Potter, it seems Mr. Lupin has done well at healing you, that potion he gave you certainly healed you quickly." Pomfrey said with surprise.
"Thanks, moony." James said with a smile.
Remus and Emily entered the ward.
"Moony! Emily!" Sirius called out.
"Hey, Dumbledore told us you guys were here, what happened?"
"Moony saved my life," James exclaimed.
"No I didn't," Remus said with confusion
"No, you didn't, but you eighteen year olself from the year I'm guessing nineteen seventy nine did." James exclaimed.
Remus looked to lily.
"I don't understand."
"Well after you and Emily went to the willow, two hunters came into the great hall. Dumbledore got really angry and ordered them to leave, but the hunters wouldn't leave until they had both of you in custody, so Jatoli who was one of the men ordered the other two men to look for you Jatoli went on about how he needed you both, but then a tall man . . ."
"Greyback." Sirius added
"Yes Greyback entered, he began yelling at Jatoli telling him to leave and that he didn't need you both anymore, but as soon as they left Voldemort walked in with Black and Malfoy. They asked what he was doing; Greyback said nothing he then took out a vial . . ."
"Which had a moon beam in it." Alicia said
"Yes and he opened it, the next thing we knew was he was fully transformed and he charged after voldemort and Black and Malfoy."
"He didn't hurt them did he?" Remus asked surprised and shocked.
"No, Hagrid searched the grounds to see if he had, and he didn't find anything."
"That's right Remus, remember we saw a werewolf out side transform back to its normal state and walk back up to the school," Emily said
"Oh yeah, okay go on." Remus said ushering lily to continue
"Okay, so we waited several minutes, and then you walked in, you looked a bit older and you looked like hell, well like you had just transformed you shoved a couple of people away and came up to Pomfrey saying"Move" which she did, then asked you who you were realizing there was no way you could have transformed because there was no moon, then Dumbledore came up. You started to explain everything that happened, how you took the potion, samolian and changed into Greyback and you had hit James with a charm which would make it look like you had killed him. At that time I was crouched on the floor with tears in my eyes, because James was obviously unconscious. You told me he'd be okay then you began to heal him. You finished James woke up and you left."
"But before you left I asked you If I was rich, and you said Id have to see, which really bumbed me out,"
Remus pause taking all of this in, he couldn't believe he could have done all of that.
"He, I mean I was probably that person in the forrest making all of the noise, when Me and Emily were on our way to the whompping willow." Remus said
"Probably was." James inquired.
James and the others soon left the Hospital wing and went back to their dorm. Dumbledore had announced a day off for they were unsure if Voldemort had really left and if Remus had really left, the grounds and castle were being searched. The group decided to chill in the Heads dorm.
They sat around listening to Remus and Emily practice their song for the talent show which was going to be next week. They were doing the song Beauty and the Beast.
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast . . .
They finished the song and everyone clapped.
They sat around drinking Coffee and some butterbeer which siruis had left over from previous Gryffindor parties.
"So tomorrow is the funeral, right?" Emily asked softly looking to Lily and James.
Lily looked up and just then remembered, shed be going to Ireland and Dumbledore hadn't told her about transportation.
"Oh right I forgot, sort of." Lily said. she took another sip of coffee.
"How are you James?" Remus asked
James sighed.
"As good as I'll ever be at a time like this, thanks again for coming with me, I don't know how I'd do it with out you all."
Everyone smiled slightly and took more sips from their coffee and butterbeer.
Suddenly a small house elf popped into the room.
They all looked up.
"Oh hello Daphne, how are you today," Sirius asked
"Hello sir, I have a letter for Ms. Evans from Professor Dumbledore," the small elf said shyly.
"That's me," Lily said sitting up in her chair. Daphne gave her the letter, bowed and then left.
Lily opened the letter and read it aloud.
"Dear Ms. Evans, I apologize for not being able to give you transportation arrangement for your parent's funeral earlier than now, but you and Mr. Potter are to leave from you portal, outside there will be a payphone, the payphone is a portkey to the exact location of the funeral. Enclosed is a key this will return you both to school."
Lily looked up from the letter and pulled the key out carefully not to touch it much.
"You don't need to worry you won't be sent there right now, there's a time slot on it, it ports you at the time you have to be there," James said.
"Oh okay,"
For the rest of the night the group worked on their homework. Lily worked on her university work. She was writing on a twelve page paper for her Art history class, it was comparing abstract art with post modern art.
Night soon came and so did dinner. The group went to dinner then they all went to bed early knowing they had a long day ahead of them.
