Diclaimer: I own Liz...that's IT!
Problem Solved?
Harry was a bit shocked at 'He's been shot,' but he kept his hard face.
"Elizabeth, that's what I don't know. I wish I could talk to Lupin..."
"Didn't Sirius give you a mirror with which you could talk to him?"
"Yes, but I smashed it after he ... passed on."
"Do you still have the shards?"
"Yes.." Harry said, a bit uncomfortable. He hadn't been able to get rid of them. They reminded him of his duty, and of what so many had sacrificed.
"Get them, bring them to the balcony, we'll have Hermione fix them."
"What, you can't?"
"I was never good with spells that had to do with cleaning or fixing."
"But, You were a Ravenclaw!"
"Being in Ravenclaw does not mean you know everyrthing. It merely means that you are smart enough to use your head." Harry just stared for a moment and then ran off to get the shards. Liz smiled and went up to the balcony.
"How is he?" Liz had just made it to the balcony.
"He's been asking for you." Hermione glanced at the blond boy, who was now sleeping on a stretcher, ready to be taken to St. Mungo's. Liz looked at him, also, years of memories running through her head. She shook her head. 'There'll be plenty of time to think about that later.'
"How are we getting to St. Mungo's?" Ron broke the eerie silence.
"The Knight Bus." Hermione said A large groan followed quickly. Suddenly, they heard pounding footsteps
"What's that?" Asked Ginny.
"I don't know. It sounds like someone running upstairs. Wands out." Liz said. With apprehensive looks on their faces, they drew their wands out and faced the doors. Liz instinctively moved in front of Draco.
Just then Harry burst out, and Liz laughed with relief. 'Why is she laughing? That's HER boyfriend lying on a stretcher with a shotgun wound.' Ginny thought.
"Hermione, will you fix this on the way to St. Mungo's?" Harry said, holding out the shards.
"Sure, Harry." 'At least he's not mad anymore. Why's he so happy?' Hermione was a bit confused.
Harry and Ron picked up the stretcher, and they got Draco downstairs without mishap.
Liz ran out the front door and stuck her right hand out. "'Ello, and welcome to the Knight Bus. Transportation for stranded witches and wizards. I'm Stan Shunpike, I'll be your conductor. How many in your party and where are you going?"
Liz glanced behind her. The boys were having trouble with the door.
Shooting an Expanding Charm towards the door, she said, "Six, for St. Mungo's, please?"
" 'Choo wanna go there for?"
"Because my friend is gravely hurt, and he needs professional medical attention."
"All right, but we need to let Madame Marsh off first."
Liz nodded and shoved some gold in his hand. Hermione and Ginny got on, with the boys behind. Liz made sure Draco was safely on the bus before boarding. Remembering her last trip on the Knight Bus, Liz told Ernie to drive carefully.
"Of course, m'dear. I always do." Liz snorted in reply.
Hermione was now holding the shards of Harry's mirror in her lap.
"Reparo!" She said, and watched the shards fly together. 'I wonder why Harry wanted me to do this?'
Liz whispered to Harry, "Come over here, I need to talk to you."
Harry grabbed the mirror, said a hurried thank you to Hermione, and followed Liz to the other end of the bus.
"Harry, before Lupin left to research the cure for werewolves, he told me that he had found Sirius' mirror. He said that if you had James' mirror, you could talk to him anytime, and that we should check on him every so often."
"Okay... Remus Lupin." Harry said, looking at the little mirror.
