Chapter Eight

Harry stared open mouthed at the piece of paper that was in front of him... he couldn't believe it! He couldn't believe that someone like Fred couldn't have written this.

It was amazing... he had never read anything like it... in perfectly curved script was a poem... a love poem...

Harry re-read it and decided that Fred must have gotten help from someone...Hermione...of course! He thought...he must have really wanted to impress Maz if he had written back and forth with Hermione...

She was on exchange at Durmstrang...with Viktor Krum...much to Ron's horror.

There wasn't a hint of sarcasm anywhere in the poem...wow Fred can be serious...Harry laughed...best of luck to them he thought but where were they? He wondered...if Ron found out the was going to probably never let them live it down...

Harry kind of felt sorry for Ron...he liked Sam... A lot...but he wasn't sure that she felt for him as strongly...oh well everything will sort itself out he thought...or at least he hoped it would...his thoughts drifted back to his parents as he stared at the mirror...

Why hadn't Sirius sent him the portkey? He wanted to ask him and Lupin all about what had happened...he still felt that there was something he was missing in the story...

He put the poem back where he found it and walked back through the mirror. Thinking that it would be best if he wasn't caught in there.

He sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands...everything had become so complicated lately...

Maz blushed when Fred took her hand, even though she felt embarrassed she couldn't help but think how nice it felt to have him hold her hand... how right it felt... how perfectly her hand fitted in his... she smiled at the thought... just then Fred stopped, Maz almost ran straight into his back...

He stepped aide to let her see... she took a step forward, she could hardly see anything it was so dark down here...

She took one step forward then another, then she stopped, it was beautiful, completely beautiful, Maz gazed in wonder at what surrounded her...

It was like a garden, no it was a garden... the most beautiful garden in the world... Maz smiled... Fred saw her smile and squeezed her hand slightly...

"I'm taking you like it then" Maz did... she continued to gaze at it...

"Well come on then," said Fred and her pulled her forward towards the garden... Maz smiled wider, she was so happy...

Sam woke to darkness she had thought she had heard Remus and Sirius talking...when her eyes adjusted she saw two figures sitting either side of her, she sat up.

"Hey you're awake...I was soo worried,"

"We were soo worried," corrected the other figure.

"Huh?"

"Sorry Lil and Jim couldn't make it...Dumbledore also thought it might be best if just us two came...and well we couldn't find Pete anyway," Sam blinked...was she still dreaming?

"Is that you Remus? Sirius?"

"Yep in the flesh,"

"Except we are the 15 year old version..." said Remus gently. Sam couldn't believe her eyes or ears as both boys moved closer. She realised that Remus had been telling the truth...but how was this possible?

"What year is it?" she asked Sirius opened his mouth to mess with her but Remus beat him to it.

"1996 Sam," Sam's jaw dropped dramatically. How is this possible? She thought again. This can't be happening.

"How? Why? What?"

"Shh it's okay," soothed Remus.

"Am I dreaming?"

"One hell of a great dream isn't it? I mean I am in it!"

"Padfoot! Stop messing with her!" Remus glared at him and picked up Sam's right hand in his two.

"This isn't a dream we are really here...how could we stay away after that summer and then you got hurt...Dumbledore told us what happened..."

"Falling down the stairs nice style girl," joked Sirius as he took her other hand.

"But how did you..."

"We'll explain all that in the morning, you should go back to sleep. We'll stay here with you,"

"But..."

"Go to sleep Sam or else I will have to knock you out,"

"Okay you two, fine..." The last thing she saw before she lost consciousness was the handsome features of Remus Lupin and Sirius Black...

Fred led Maz through the garden to a waterfall and a small pool... they stopped beside it... suddenly Fred said down, pulling Maz down to as they were still holding hands...

Maz ended up landing in Fred's lap... Maz blushed, but Fred just gave a big silly grin once more that made Maz laugh... she moved out of Fred's lap and sat down beside him... they just looked at each other for a few minutes smiling...

Until Maz blushed and looked away... she looked back up at Fred... what should she say to him?

She felt so silly... she was two years below him and she hung round with his little brother... he must think I'm such an idiot she thought to herself... then she remembered that it had been him he bought her down here... this made her smile more... just then she felt his hand touch hers... he took her hand once more making her look up at him... she blushed again...

"I heard you fainted this morning..." said Fred putting on a more concerned expression,

"Are you ok?" he asked... Maz just nodded... he smiled at her,

"That's good I was worried about you..." Maz smiled... he was worried about her! She had to say something...

"Thanks for the note by the way... it was really sweet," she said...

It was his turn to blush and she couldn't help but smile even more... he looked really cute when his ears turned red... she grinned at him... he felt less stupid when she did that...

Maz couldn't wait to tell Sam about everything that had happened to her today... she was going to tell her everything starting from the note and then... Maz stopped.

She remembered that she hadn't seen Sam since she ran out that morning... I wonder what happened to her she thought.

She must have had a frown on her face because Fred immediately asked her what was wrong... she turned to him and tried to smile a bit...

"Nothing," she said,

"I was just wondering were Sam had got to is all." Fred's face turned pale... he had forgotten to tell Maz about Sam...

He should have told her after all Sam was her best friend... Maz gave him a worried look and scooted over so she was sitting closer to him...

"Fred what's wrong?" she asked, Fred took a deep breath... he had to tell her.

"Maz I'm really sorry I should've told you earlier its just I was so happy it slipped my mind and...Well Sam's in the hospital wing... she fell down the stairs this morning" Maz was shocked...

She immediately got up and started running... she could here Fred yelling out to her behind her but she just kept on running... she had to get to Sam... She was in trouble...

Maz didn't stop running till she reached the hospital wing... she flung open the door and ran in Fred just behind her...

She looked round and saw Sam lying in a bed... she began walking towards it till she realised who was sitting on either side of Sam...

They were looking straight at her...

Sirius and Remus, only much younger Sirius and Remus...

Maz was shocked.

"But... You... Him... What?" she stuttered before fainting straight back into the arms of Fred Weasley.
