Remus' POV
I couldn't believe it. James, my brother and Lily, my sister. He was going to kill them. They were my pack. I would be nothing without them. That's not true. You have Sirius. And you could have your mate. Shut up! I could not have him. I chose this remember. I chose to lose him. He betrayed me.
The room was still silent. I don't know how long we sat there. Dumbledore looked grave. Sirius had retreated into himself. James and Lily had stopped crying and were just holding each other.
After a while, Lily wiped her face and stood up, drawing all eyes to her. Her eyes shone with steely determination. 'So what's the plan?' She asked bravely, voice only wobbling slightly as she let her hand rest on her stomach. Everyone gasped.
'Are you?' someone asked. Lily just nodded and a subdued congratulations was passed around. She knew we would celebrate in time. Now though, we had to plan.
'For the time being, I want Lily, James, Sirius and Remus to stay at Hogwarts. It is one of the safest places of all. We will work on a more in depth plan from there. I know you don't like him boys, but Severus will be important in this. He is our eyes and ears. At least try.' Dumbledore spoke slowly. Everyone nodded. I hope they are civil to him.
With that, everyone began to leave, lost in their own thoughts. The four of us followed Dumbledore through the floo and into his office in the castle. It felt strange to be back. It could have been enjoyable if not for the current situation. We were given directions to our own rooms. James and Lily were on the 5th floor near the Gryffindor tower. Sirius was on the 7th floor near the room of requirement. My room was on the 2nd floor near the DADA classrooms. The rooms were quite homely and I felt relaxed as soon as I was there. Good old Hogwarts, she always looked out for me.
