Disclaimer - I do not own Harry Potter
Remus and Evie are sat on beds in the hospital wing, Evana now under the effects of the Polyjuice potion instead of the glamour charm, when the doors suddenly open.
"MOONY!" Sirius and James shout at the same time, sprinting over at the same time as the others do.
"Padfoot, Prongs," Remus greets, suddenly overwhelmed by how much he has missed them. He hugs them both, then pulls Peter in and hugs him too.
"You were in there a while, huh?" Frank asks.
Evana nods, "If Black hadn't sent that mirror in, we may never have found out about the difference in the passage of time," she explains, remembering how her Mother always refers to Sirius.
"How long were you in there?" James questions.
"A…a long damn time," Remus replies with a breathless chuckle.
"Well, we're all just glad you're back," Mary tells them, walking over and hugging Evana who panics for a moment before hugging her back.
"Thanks, Mary," Remus tells her, mainly so that Evana will know her name and know this is her mother's best friend.
"Yeah, we missed you all like crazy."
"Awh, Evans, I missed you too," James says, hands on his heart.
Because her Father had called him Prongs before, Evana knows this is James Potter. She doesn't understand what her Mother's problem with his infatuation is about, he's cute. "Is that why your hair is even more of a mess than usual? Too worried about me to even try and tame it?" She asks, trying to imitate her Mother's sense of humour.
James grins at her, "Evans, how you wound me." But he keeps grinning like a git because she smiled at him as she insulted him.
"Anyway," Remus interrupts, narrowing his eyes at his daughter and best friend flirting with each other. Mary nudges him, sending him a significant look because she thinks the glare was because of his girlfriend and his best friend flirting. He clears his throat, "Anyway, how long were we gone? No one's said."
"A whole week, Moons. It was torture, I was left alone with these animals," Sirius dramatically relays, throwing himself onto the bed beside his friend.
"Animals, huh?" Marlene drawls.
"Oh, also, Marlene and I are dating now," Sirius says with a sly look at the drink Remus had just started taking a sip of.
Predictably, Remus spits it in surprise. "Oh, my what now?!"
"That was even better than I was expecting," Bob says, chuckling, "Mornin' Lupin."
"Morning Bob," Remus says with a sigh.
Life was well and truly back to how it had been.
