Chapter 41
When James arrived at St Mungo's, he went straight to the front desk to ask for directions.
"Hi. Um, Professor Dumbledore said to ask you about my friend Helga Prewitt."
"She's in the closed ward. Here's a map." the nurse behind the desk handed James a piece of parchment before turning to the next person.
"May I help you?"
James looked at the map. It looked like a muggle map, but with labelled dots representing people.
"Cool." he muttered. (Sploogal: More muttering. *evils*)
He figured out where he was going and stuffed the map into his pocket before walking to the stairs.

"Hello. Who are you?" Helga asked him as he approached.
"Uh, James Potter. I go to the same school as you." He replied uncertainly.
"Oh. What school's that?" Helga asked.
"Hogwarts. I think I might have found a way to help you remember everything." James explained, taking out his wand.
"What are you going to do with that?" Helga asked, eyeing the wand warily.
"I found a charm that should be able to make you better." James said. "Are you ready?"
Helga nodded.
"Expecto Remembrall!" James cried.
A misty form similar to a patronus that looked like a huge shaggy dog shot out of the end of his wand and pounced on Helga, sniffing and licking her face.
"Padfoot!" Helga exclaimed as the dog faded. "James, that's so sweet! You're patronus is Sirius!"
"Yeah, it is. Hey, hang on a minute, you remember!" James exclaimed.
"It's pretty hard to forget that two underaged wizards managed to become animagi!"
James rolled his eyes. "I mean, your memory's back!"
"Sirius must think I'm such an idiot." Helga said mainly to herself.
"Well, he and Lily seem to be getting on ok together." James said sourly.
"Visiting hours are over." said a nurse, walking into the room. "You should be leaving now."
"Debra." Helga said. "This is my friend James. James, this is Nurse Debra."
"Your boyfriend?" Debra asked.
Helga looked shocked. "Hell no! We just go to school together. We share most of our classes."
Debra stared.
"Excuse my language." Helga said sheepishly.
"Your memory has returned!" Debra exclaimed.
She turned to James, who was still standing in the doorway, watching with an amused smile.
"If you'll step outside, we can test her memory, and if everything is ok we'll release her."
"Great!" James said happily. "I'll see you later Helga."
"Oooh. He is hot! So, if he's not your boyfriend, can I have him?" Debra asked slyly.
"Uh, well, I don't know about that, I um," Helga protested, thinking of Lily.
James grinned as he walked out of earshot. He sprinted to the room where Rion was being kept to see if the charm would work on him.
"Expecto remembrall!" he shouted, pointing his wand at his brother as he entered the room.
Padfoot's form appeared once again and walked over to Rion's limp form. It nudged him with it's nose and whined. Rion came to just as the dog faded away.
"James?" Rion asked weakly.
"Rion! You remember me?" asked James excitedly.
"Remember you? Who could forget such an ugly face?" Rion joked.
James punched Rion's shoulder lightly before giving him a big, long, brotherly hug.
"I was so worried about you." James said.
"Well, I'm all better now, so stop your worrying." Rion told him. "You better call a nurse or someone so I can get outta here. I'll see you on the school holidays, alright?"
James nodded and ran off to fetch a nurse and catch up with Helga.

"Where's the portkey?" Helga asked James.
"Here." James replied, pulling a quill out of his pocket.
Helga looked down. "What were you saying about Lily and Sirius?"
"They seem to be close. Very close." James answered hesitantly. "I thought I was just being an over-protective boyfriend, but he asked her to the ball."
"Oh. Well, why don't we go together, too? That would be fun."
