Chapter 11: Revenge

The weeks had gone passed since Lily had split up with Severus and she'd bounced back better than her boys had expected. The boys had been there for her ever since. She was on top of her schoolwork and was doing well not that she'd been doing badly before.

Lily was sitting at dinner when Sirius came over and sat down with her and the rest a triumphant look on his face. He wouldn't say what was making him so happy but he did say that "Revenge is Sweet". They just carried on as normal ignoring Sirius' glee.

James eventually found out what Sirius was happy about. He'd told Snape that all he needed to do to follow Remus was to press the knot on the Womping Willow and he'd be able to get in after him. James rushed of to Severus' rescue, something he could never forgive as he thought James was in on it as he had said he'd kill him.

Snape had spotted Remus in his transformed state and was threatening to tell the rest of the school. If Dumbledore hadn't intervened then Remus would probably have had to leave school when people found out about him being a werewolf.

As term progressed attacks on muggles and wizards alike were becoming a regular occurrence. Hogwarts pupils families were being murdered under the ministry's' nose. They weren't able to cope with the amount of deaths. Whole streets were being blown apart.

Term drew to a close at the start of June and the Hogwarts Express departed for Kings Cross Station. This trip home was not the best ever, as she knew what awaited her in London. Her sister would have a great laugh about Snape. Her parents would be asking questions like Is Severus coming over, What happened, etcetera.

Lily didn't let on that anything was wrong, instead she joined in with the talks about what would be done in the holidays, Quidditch and her sister's continued obsession with Remus.

"Is she still writing to you Remus", Lily joked and was surprised when he said that she was. He then showed her one of the letters she'd sent him.

Dear Remus,

Thank you for your letter, I'm not so worried about Dementors now. You are so good to talk to, I can't even talk to my best friend like I can talk to you. If my fiancé knew about me writing to you he'd be upset and urge me not to write to you as he'd become jealous. I wish I was engaged to you instead of Vernon as I can't talk to him.

Love

Petunia Evans

Lily nearly choked before starting to laugh like a maniac. "What's so funny", Sirius said grabbing the letter. "Oh, does Remus have an older woman after him. Fancy being a toy boy Moony." Sirius laughed.

"No I don't, Lily can you please tell her to leave me alone. I mean she's nice and all but she's" not you, he thought "she's not my type" he finished. "Remus you know I'd love to help you but were only just talking, I don't want to risk losing my sister again. Plus I don't want to get onto the topic of relationships" Lily added.
