Chapter thirty, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to update over the next week or so. I started driving school then I'll be starting actual school soon so I'm sorry if I don't update for a few days at a time but I'll try to update almost every day. Anyway I own nothing but those mentioned in previous chapters. My snack of the day is Welch's grape juice and Doritos, I know it sounds like a weird combination but it's actually quite good or at least I think so. So grab a snack and enjoy and lets celebrate that this story has lasted this long and that I have awesome reviewers who continue to read and support it!
"I don't understand why you're trying to make this." Lacy whispered as we stood in the staff room at St. Mungo's looking down into the cauldron which was currently blowing out a goldish steam.
"Alice and Frank are two of the best people in the world; if Lily, James, and Regulus can come back to life then the Longbottoms can become un-insane." I hissed as I looked around to make sure no one was watching us.
Lacy sighed "Grace let someone else try this, your pregnant you should be home with your feet propped up while Mr. Right does everything you tell him to do." She whispered as I threw some phoenix feathers into the cauldron and recorded it on the parchment beside me.
"Mr. Right isn't speaking to me, it's been three weeks and he still hasn't said one word. Yesterday was Harry's hearing and when we heard he had been cleared I thought that maybe Sirius would at least say one word to me, but he's been ignoring me." I slammed the fist into the table as tears filled my eyes "And it's not just me he's completely ignoring, he's doing the same to Orion and Rose. They're only babies; they don't understand why their daddy won't hold them or why he won't tuck them in."
Lacy wrapped her arms around my shoulders and pulled me into a comforting hug, "Want me to kick his ass for you?"
I laughed; despite being emotionally tired I managed to laugh at the look on Lucy's face as she though about all the things she could do to Sirius. I turned back to the cauldron and frowned at the pure gold color of the substance.
"Wo, I've never seen anything like it." Lacy whispered as her eyes drifted from the cauldron to mine.
Everything was silent then I whispered "I…I think we've done it, I think we've found the cure for insanity."
Lacy practically threw two vials at me in excitement as she jumped up and down lightly. I filled two vials of the golden potion then literally ran to the Janus Thickey Ward and into the room where Alice, Frank, and Gilderoy Lockhart lived.
"Healer Potter and Livingston, what are you doing here?" Miriam Strout asked as we ran into the room trying to catch our breath.
I gripped the bed post of Alice's bed and said breathlessly, "Miriam I think we've found it, I think we've found the cure for insanity."
Miriam's face broke into a small smile as she said "Girls I know how hard you have been working, but I don't think we will ever find something to cure what these people have."
"Just let her try it," Lacy snapped as her excitement began to leave her and her normal patient manor she had adapted lately began to return.
With a sigh and a nod Miriam moved out of the way, leaving me a clear path to both Alice and Frank's beds.
I sat down on Alice's and looked into her eyes, so much like Neville's and whispered "Alice, I am Grace Potter. We went to Hogwarts together; I was wandering if you would drink something for me. It won't take long, just one little drink."
Alice looked at me but other then that stayed perfectly still. I uncapped one of the vials and pressed it to her lips, "Swallow all of it please Alice," then I turned to Frank and did the same to him.
I stepped back and watched as it seemed to be doing nothing, suddenly there was a loud sound like a whip and in a second I felt a deep cut in the side of my face.
Lacy cursed loudly and said "Really, the first bit of magic you do is to cut your own friend?"
"Um Lacy, they're unconscious." I informed her as Miriam quickly checked their pulses.
We were ushered out of the ward soon after so the other 'more qualified' healers could do a full scan of the Longbottoms.
"Imagine if it actually works; imagine how many lives will be impacted by this." Lacy whispered as she turned to grip my arms. "Gracie, you could become famous!"
I smiled at my friend as I sat down "There's already enough fame in the Potter family, but Neville will be so happy."
I didn't realize how long we sat there until a panicked Remus came running up to us shouting "Grace there you are; everyone's been worried sick about you."
"It doesn't matter Lupin," Lacy shouted, once again excited "Alice and Frank might be cured."
Remus looked at me in disbelief, "Wha…what does she mean, how are they cured?"
"It's a complicated potion actually; Lacy and I started creating it ages ago. It was suppose to be finished by Neville's fifteenth birthday but we had some minor set backs." I said realizing just how excited I was myself that two of my best friends could be recovering.
Remus cheered as he hugged Lacy and me and congratulated us. We had almost calmed down completely when a voice from behind us said "Healer Potter, Healer Livingston, I hope you have more of that potion."
I turned around in confusion to find Deron Moon, the big shot over at the ministry that deals with new potions and what not. "What do you mean Mr. Moon, did the potion not work?" I asked as I quickly went through the list of things I did to make the potion golden and different then the other trys.
Moon smiled as he tucked his sunglasses into his jacket pocket, "No Potter, the potion was a success, which was why I was asking if you had more."
"We can always make more," Lacy said quickly, oh why did she have to be so rash?
"Perfect, come over to the ministry tomorrow around noon and we'll discuss payment plans." Then he shoved the sunglasses back onto the bridge of his nose and walked off.
I collapsed in the chair behind me and whispered "It was a success, Alice and Frank are back."
And just as the words left my mouth a heard the best sound in the whole world, I head Frank Longbottom yell his first coherent sentence since November of 1981 "SO HELP ME IF I EVER GET MY HANDS ON LESTRANGE SHE WILL WISH SHE WAS NEVER BORN!"
So what did you think? I rather like the idea of bringing Lily, James, and Regulus back to life and making Alice and Frank recover. It's like most of the first Order is still there along with a whole new generation of Order members, it's awesome really! Review and tell me what you think
