A.N. I'm on another roll! Whee!!!! This roll won't squash! -jumps up and down on roll- -roll stay intact- Hmmm... must be a cafeteria roll.... Anywho, in this chapter, Remus makes a reference to "the clones". He is referring to a chapter that I lost in which Sirius is attacked by clones of himself in a dream. Just so's ya know.
Jelly Beans Part 3 (of 3)- Attack
Sirius stood in the entrance to the dining room, handing out toothpicks (he found them in the blender that hadn't been used for years...) to everyone who entered.
Molly Weasley accepted her allotment, looked at the toothpicks, then up at Sirius. "What on earth?"
"For when the jelly beans attack," Sirius answered seriously. He lowered his voice. "I suspect they'll attack tonight."
Molly opened her mouth to say something, then saw Remus making a slashing motion form behind Sirius, so she just shook her head and went to sit down for dinner.
The meal went relatively quietly-- except for a heated yet short-lived fight between Severus and Sirius about toothpicks and Sirius's newly regained pickle. But during dessert (apple pie a la mode. yummy.) all went array.
There was a slight 'clink' sound. Charlie set down his fork. Another 'clink'.
"What was that?"
"Shh!" Sirius hissed. "It's them!! At arms men!!"
"Umm, Siri, what are you-"
"AIIEE!!" Sirius screeched. Everyone looked toward him. On his plate was a green softball sized jelly bean with eyes. "It's the Jelly Belly tribe!!"
Everything went black.
"Wake-up." Remus called. "Siri, wake-up. You're dreaming. It was a nightmare."
"They got me." Sirius whimpered. "They got me..."
Remus looked utterly confused. "Erm..who....? The clones?"
"No," Sirius sobbed. "The jelly beans!"
Remus stared at him, then lay back down and rolled over.
"Reme?" Sirius whined. "Reme, what is it?"
"Now I'm dreaming," he murmured.
"No you're not."
"Yes I am. That jelly bean thing was my dream. I think." Remus said. He sounded unsure now.
Sirius gasped, "They modified our memories!!! NOOOOO!"
-tbc-
