Chapter Fifteen

15-year-old Remus looked shocked to hear his own voice like that. Younger Sirius looked stunned as well, their astonishment deepened as they heard another voice coming out of the mirror.

"Harry please respond its Sirius as well," Sam laughed as she saw they faces of the two boys.

"A bit of a shock to hear yourselves I'm guessing?"

"Hell yes," replied Sirius while Remus just swallowed hard and nodded.

Harry looked embarrassed and shocked as well.

"Um I forgot to tell you all Lupin I mean Remus thought of a plan that might sort out this mess," Sam, Remus and Sirius froze.

They weren't sure whether they were going to like what they heard. Maz moved in closer to where Harry was now standing, dragging an anxious Fred along with her.

Ron and Ginny were standing as well.

Everyone was anxiously waiting to hear what might be a joyous or hurtful plan...all except for George that is, who still lay on the floor snoring.

"Can everyone hear me?" called out Remus from the mirror.

They all nodded as Harry turned the mirror around for the others to see.

"Now be warned this may not necessarily be easy to follow or understand...especially since it was thought up by Moony,"

"Sirius don't let me take all the credit you helped as well," the 15 year old Moony and Padfoot dropped their jaws in amazement, they could not believe this...

"Okay well...there are two options really," continued the older Sirius "...but Remus and I know that the first option is not really and option because you would never consider it," Everyone in the room fell silent for a minute.

Surprisingly it was Sam who spoke.

"What is it?" The Remus and Sirius in the mirror turned to each other gravely. Remus was the one who told them.

"Well that all three of you, and maybe the others, have your memories erased that you were ever in love with each other or that you traveled through time," The younger Remus stepped forward still holding Sam's hand tightly.

"No way," Sirius and Remus in the mirror smiled weakly.

"We hoped you would say that,"

Silence filled the room once more, no one daring to speak.

After a while 15 year old Sirius couldn't deal with it any longer.

"What is the other option?"

Everyone looked from him to the two men suspended in the mirror Harry held. They sighed.

"Will you explain it old friend or shall I?" Older Remus exhaled forcefully

"I will Sirius,"

"Are you sure?"

"For once, yes I am,"

Everyone stared intently at the Remus in the mirror desperately wanting to hear what could save or condemn the three.

"The boys could lead two lives,"

"I beg your pardon?" asked Ginny.

"Well basically it would work much like what happened when Hermione was using the time turner, for those of you who know, they can live both their life here with Sam and back in the past where they also belong, all sort of at the same time. Dumbledore and the ministry have agreed...it took a while though let me tell you..."

They were all shocked...could this even work? Harry's face had no expression on it.

"But. But what would happen to you two now...?" asked Harry his voice shaky.

"Don't worry all that has happened will still happen Harry but what will happen from now on is a mystery to everyone we think that once we have served our purpose for the past long ago and the more recent past the selves we are now might sort of combine if you will with the our younger selves if that makes any kind of sense," Harry had placed the mirror on the mantlepiece above the fireplace now so that he could look at them as well. Everyone was at a loss for words not quite sure what to say...
