Chapter Fifteen

Couldn't Be Helped

As the hot sun of July began to disappear over the horizon and as the cool evening of August began its slow approach, a tall but unhealthy looking boy was gazing out of a small bedroom window mindlessly.

"Harry…?" Remus looked at him concerned as Harry started putting all of his belongings in Remus's spare room that he allowed Harry to have for the summer.

"Nothing's really changed has it?" Harry said matter-fact as Remus came over and sat at the edge of Harry's new bed.

"Am afraid not and that was really the point through the whole experience. It was for you to have some family time and get away for awhile, but not to change anything in the future." Remus exclaimed.

"I know; it's just." Harry sat on the bed next to Remus.

"What happened to everybody you know? I mean between you and Desiree? Between Antonette and Severus? Rose and Sirius? Does Severus even remember what happened to me and him?" Harry asked as Remus smiled sadly.

"Some things just couldn't be helped Harry." Remus replied.

"What does that mean?" Harry asked him annoyed.

"Well, where do you want me to start?" Remus asked him.

"Well for starters, where are the Chariton twins now?" Harry asked him.

"Actually, how about we go down stairs in the kitchen and I'll fix us something to eat while I tell you the story." Remus suggested looking quite ill at the moment.

The Past…

Antonette & Desiree

"Hi Antonette," Desiree answered, picking up the phone on the first ring.

"Dez!" Antonette replied, surprised at the greeting. "You have to stop the whole psychic phone thing. It's creepy."

"It's not my fault you're predictable," she replied. "Or that I have this new muggle caller ID that Remus suggested that we get."

"So it's not just that you're creepy then?"

"No Antonette."

"Well I was calling because I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out tonight?"

"I can't Antonette, you know I have to work! Auror training you know? And it's the first day I'll be training to capture a death eater!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, can't take a day off to spend with your own sister."

"Moody is counting on me to be there today. He doesn't have anyone else really either that wants to be trained now that the dark lord is at large, well besides the Potters, Longbottom, and Black. And I can't just leave, I'll be fired on the spot and their goes my career. Why don't you just stop by the house tonight?"

"Why don't you come over here tonight?" Antonette challenged her.

"Because Snape's place is creepy and I shouldn't have to?" Desiree sighed looking up at her clock on the ceiling, "I might can get away to grab dinner at our favorite café," she offered. "And I'll buy."

"Well, as long as you're buying… alright," Antonette conceded. "At the uh… French Vanilla café right?"

"Alright then, I gotta go." Desiree said a bit uncomfortable. The French Vanilla café burned down years ago along with their parents, what was Antonette playing? Was that some sick sense of humor of hers?

"Bye sis."

"Bye." Desiree replied hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Remus asked her walking into the living room along with James and Sirius.

"Oh, just Antonette. What's up?" Desiree said to the James and Sirius as they looked at her weirdly along with Remus.

"That's impossible, Sirius and I were just coming to tell you-"

"It could be a trap James, to lure Dez there." Sirius suggested.

"But she heard Antonette's voice, I'm pretty sure Antonette wouldn't plot against her own sister." Remus exclaimed as Desiree stared to get anxious.

"What? What's happened to Antonette? What aren't you guys telling me?"

"Antonette is being held captive by death eaters." Remus whispered.

"What? How is that possible? I was just speaking to her." Desiree asked shocked.

"Or somebody that sounded just like her." Sirius suggested.

Silence.

"But she… she… she remember things though that only a sister would." Desiree said a bit uncertain.

"The truth surm." The three said together.

"Well I'm going after her." Desiree exclaimed.

"You can't do that! Can't you tell it's a trap?" Severus said walking barging into the room.

"You! How could you let this happen!" Desiree screamed at him.

"As if I had a choice! I had no idea!" Severus snapped at her.

"I'm going to save my sister!"

"Desiree!"

"No Remus! That's my sister!" Desiree shouted leaving out the door.

"Well watch over her Moony you just contact the Order, come on Prongs." Sirius replied walking past Snape.

:)

"Well… what happened?" Harry asked anxiously.

"Voldemort." Remus replied and that's all that needed to be said.

"He killed both of the twins personally. James and Sirius barely got away in the fight." Remus said sadly.

"I'm sorry Remus." Harry whispered hating Voldemort even more.

"Like I said, it couldn't be helped. It's fate I suppose." Remus replied shrugging drinking his tea.

"Well fate has a really bad sense of humor." Harry said heatedly.

"What about Snape?" Harry asked.

"Do you really want to ask?" Remus asked.

"I thought I'd put a little hope in my mind." Harry replied."Did… did Rose die also?"

Remus laughed at this.

"You and I both know that Rose and Sirius were all that well 'serious' in their relationship." Remus exclaimed.

"Yea well, I just wanted to make sure she lived a happy life, obviously not with Sirius." Harry added as an after thought.

"No actually funny enough, do you remember when you went to the Quidditch tournament before your fourth year?" Remus asked him as Harry nodded yes.

"Well supposedly she was one of the dancing Vela girls at the start of the tournament." Remus exclaimed smirking.

"No way!" Harry laughed, "Come on seriously?"

"Yes, Harry, seriously." Remus replied laughing also.

:)

Harry lay on his stomach in front of the fireplace while Remus was sleeping soundly on the cushioned sofa. Remus had took Harry to Diagon Alley to get his photo's developed.

Wizard photographs, they were quite the brilliant inventions. Harry watched as a young Remus with his Gryffindor colors twined around his head like a turban, rolling his eyes and grinning as fallen leaves gathers on his and Desiree's shoulders as they started to kiss.

The next one makes Harry all warm inside.

James' bright smile as his hazel eyes squinting at Lily; who holds his glasses over her head, laughing. James had caught her around the waist kissing her.

The next one was of Sirius and Harry gathering around a sleeping Remus as they got out some blue dye and applied it on Remus' hair holding in their laughter through the whole time.

There were more pictures from a snowy day before Harry got there.

He looks at the picture of Remus in the snow. Fourteen or fifteen, perhaps. The good-natured frustration on Remus' face. Sirius must have taken that picture, because it was kind of blurry. Harry tried, staring at the picture as if it might tell him. Remus was just grinning in the picture and gathers snow. Sometimes he opens his mouth to catch a snowflake on his tongue along with James and Lily.

The last picture Harry looked at was of everybody he cared minus Peter. This was the picture of the night of the Summer Ball. Frank, Alice, and Antonette (Minus Snape), were in the back while Sirius, Rose, Remus, and Desiree were in the middle and James, Lily, and Harry were in the front all waving and laughing.

Fin.

A/N That's it, I don't know what you're waiting for... thats the end.
