Chapter 8:Saving Remus Life
Petunia was waiting on Severus when he was finally released from the wing. He didn't remember anything and so Petunia told him only that Mr. Malfoy had knocked him out.
"And the reason?"
"Oh just to kill me," she answered.
She saw him staring at her and he asked, "How the heck are you alive?"
"My little secret," Petunia said, "Come along, weed, you need to catch up on your work."
"I'm not a weed," Severus told her.
Petunia laughed and said, "You'll always be a weed to me."
He grumbled.
If Petunia caused pure horror by being able to bring down a Slytherin Prefect sheer terror now filled everyone that hated the fact that the Evans sisters were even in their house. Petunia was sure that there was now going to be a stampede to get the heck out of Hogwarts. She was officially feared by all in Slytherin. Well, except her friends. They all wanted to know what had happened.
Petunia told them about Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Umbridge trying to kill her by knocking out both Lily and Severus, thinking that she would be dumb enough to go for Lily. She did leave out the part about cutting Mr. Malfoy in half and slicing Mr. Umbridge's head off. She told them that she had used a deflection spell against them and that they had gotten caught.
"They talked too much and it allowed me to do the spell," she lied.
"Are you sure that you're in the right house," Narcissa asked.
Petunia grinned and said, "Yes, I do believe that I am."
Outside the fearful Slytherin house the other houses didn't notice anything had changed. Petunia helped those that needed it on Saturday and on Sunday joined Dumbledore in training with her sword and mastering several spells that he felt would come in handy should she face Tom again. Which he felt that she would! Petunia knew that word that Lucius Malfoy's father had been killed, along with Umbridge's dad, had most likely gotten back to him even if they hadn't acted under his orders. The last one, a dimensional void curse, would be their last resort.
"What does this curse do?" Petunia asked him.
"It's a very dark curse, Miss Evans," he said, "One that should only be used as a last resort. It sucks the person into a world that has nothing in it. Several notable children of Hecate have used it. Morrigan was one of them as was Merlin, the wizard that I believe you want to take after."
Merlin was her idol, someone that she wanted to take after with a passion.
When Dumbledore left for the castle Petunia left the forest and headed back as well. She was lost in thought about what this curse would do. Of course Tom deserved whatever he got and she had no sympathy for him. As she got closer she heard laughter. Great, someone was bullying someone. Running towards the sound she was angered in seeing Potter, Black, and Pettigrew cornering Remus right at the edge of the cliff that housed the castle.
"Want to see what we do to snakes?" Potter asked.
"Don't touch him, James, don't want the smell of snake on you," Black told him.
"Hay, leave him alone," Petunia ordered and both boys turned and grinned at her.
"Oh look, it's the chief snake," Potter taunted.
"We're not doing anything wrong," Black said.
She glared at them both and then Remus vanished. Petunia screamed, pushed past them, and then dived out of sight.
Petunia saw Remus falling fast and the rocks down below didn't look inviting. She pushed forward with everything that she had and managed to grab his arm. She pushed her body, along with his, to a group of shadows and extended her hand. The shadows came at them, wrapping around them, and then she focused on where she needed to go. The Headmaster's office! They both landed in his office, much to the Headmaster's surprise.
"Potter, Black, and Pettigrew tried to kill him," Petunia said.
He came around and asked, "Are you alright, Mr. Lupin?"
"Yes, sir," he said. "Why do they hate me?"
"Because your friends with Petunia," Dumbledore answered. "Stay out of sight while I get Professors McGonagall and Sprout."
They both nodded and Petunia watched the Headmaster leave.
"How did you do that?" Remus asked.
"It's my secret," Petunia told him. "Just like you being a werewolf is your secret."
He nodded and fell silent.
Food and drink appeared; which told Petunia that it was taking longer than usual for Dumbledore to sort things out. Petunia made her usual offering to her mother, thanking her for coming to her aid, and they ate. Remus was so occupied by his food that he didn't notice. It was only after they had finished that Dumbledore appeared with Narcissa.
"Miss Black will take you both back to your common room."
"Thanks," Petunia said and they walked past him but then she stopped when he cleared his throat.
"They have been confined to the common room and won't be allowed out except during classes."
"Thanks," Petunia repeated.
