One Sweet Day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
Now it's too late to hold you
Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Chapter 3: Floo Calls and Frights- Halloween 1981, 8:00pm

Jazmin went to one of the floos, stuck her head in and yelled,

"Dorea Potter- Potter Manor, London!" Green flames and ash swirled around her head and then stopped.

"Mum! Mum, are you there?" She called.

"Well hello there Jazmin. What's going on in your neck of the woods?" Her mother asked.

"Umm… Mum you need to come down to St. Mungo's–"

"Is James ok? What about Sirius? And my grandchildren, all 3 of them? Jazmin have you been crying?" Dorea said in a rush.

"Just come to St. Mungo's. I'll explain everything there." With that Jazmin 'hung up'.


Remus stuck his head in the green flames and yelled.

"Eric Evans— Apt. 8C, Diagon Alley!" The green fire swirled, making him dizzy, then stopped. "Eric! Hey Eric are you there?" He shouted.

"Remus? What's up mate?" Eric asked as her came in with a groggy looking baby Erica on his hip. Eric Evans was Lily's twin brother. Eric and his long time girl friend Meredith, a Ravenclaw in their year, had a baby around the same time Lily and James had Harry. Meredith had left him to juggle being a single father and an auror. During the day Dorea looked after Erica while Eric was a work.

"You need to co me down to St. Mungo's quickly. It's Lily." Eric's Emerald green eyes filled with concern.

"What? Is she ok?"

"I'll explain everything when you get here." Remus said and then disconnected the floo.

Remus and Jazmin pulled out of the fire at the same time.

"Would you like me to do the explaining?" Remus asked. Jazmin nodded in confirmation. A second later one of the fires lit up and out stepped Jazmin's formidable looking mother, Dorea Potter.

"Jazmin! What is the meaning of this! You hung up without explaining anything! What is going on? Hello Remus, dear. You're looking a bit thin. Have you been eating enough?"

"Mother please! Can you wait another minute while we wait for Eric to get here?" As soon as she said that, Another fireplace lit up and Eric Evans stepped out with a red haired, green eyed (much like himself), baby on his hip, a baby bag on his shoulder and clad in auror robes. The man himself looked tired. His red hair was a mess and his robes were rumpled. To top it off, Erica was flushed, pouty, and tired looking.

"Sorry it took me so long. Rica's been a bit under the weather."

"Oh come here child." Dorea cooed to the baby. Erica's face lit up like a Christmas tree when she saw her 'Grandma' Dorea. She squirmed in her daddy's arms until he handed her over willingly.

"Now will someone here PLEASE tell me what's going on!" Dorea inquired impatiently. Remus and Jazmin looked at each other. More tears welled in Jazmin's eyes. Remus took a deep breath.

"James and Lily were atteacked tonight." The 2 new comers gasped. "Lily and Harry are… as they could be. Wait Harry is fine right?" He looked at Jazmin. She nodded in return. "Harry and Lily are fine but James-" his voice broke. "James… James is… dead."

"No. Don't you play like that. Stop telling that lie. Now where is my son?"

"Mum," Jazmin said, tears spilling over. "Mum he's gon. And Sirius is in Azkaban."

"What? Why?" Eric asked, eyes wide as galleons.

"No. no, no, no, no, no. James can't be dead. He just can't." Dorea chanted. Jazmin hated being brutally honest, but her mother needed to hear this.

"Mother, he's gone. He's dead. He's not coming back!" Jazmin said forcefully through her tears. Dorea callapsed into a chair with baby Erica still in her arms. Remus walked of to her and picked up Erica. Remus the went to Eric and clapped him on the shoulder with a somber look.

"Let's go see our sister."
