Author's Note: Hey guys, it's me again. Thank you for reading this story, as dumb as it is. Also, I realized that the line skips didn't show up on the story, so some of it doesn't make sense. I'll fix it soon. Enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: I wish Fred didn't die.
"Squirt!" I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
"What are you doing here squirt?" I heard someone ask. My vision cleared and I saw the worried face of my godfather in front of me. "Moony!" I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"What are you doing here Terra," he asked me. The events of last night rushed back into my head.
Suddenly, I felt sick. I'm sure it showed on my face as Moony said," You look sick!"
He felt my forehead in an attempt to diagnose what he thought was ailing me. "Mommy and Daddy are- are-" Moony looked at me in concern. "What happened to Mommy and Daddy, squirt?" My heart pounded in my chest. "They're dead," it came out as a quiet whisper. "They're what?" Moony asked in astonishment. "Dead," I repeated burying my head in his shoulder.
"Oh my- Are you ok love?" Moony held my face up gently and examined me for any injuries. "There's blood on your chin!" the werewolf exclaimed.
"And why are you shaking?" The whole story spilled from my lips, from the blonde man to the curse I was put under after he killed Mommy.
"Oh Merlin! Are you ok? Do you remember what spell the man put you under?" Remus asked gently. I racked my brain to remember the spell. "He used a curse to kill Mommy and Daddy saying something like Abra Kadavra or something," I said. "Do you remember what he said to hurt you?" I winced as I remembered the intense pain of the curse.
"It was something like Cursio or whatever," I said hesitantly.
Moony swore under his breath and said," Ok, let's go somewhere." "Where, Moony?" I asked.
"You'll see. Um, just a warning, this might make you throw up," Moony said. "What?"
He spun on the spot and suddenly I felt a jerk on my naval as we apparated away. We ended up in a dark alley, and I'll be honest, I barfed a little in my mouth.
"Where are we going Moony?" "You'll see," was his vague reply.
I laid my head down on his chest, and I felt my eyes start to droop.
Moony said something, but I didn't hear it. I started to doze off as I was rudely interrupted by voices.
My head perked up as I heard my godfather murmur my name softly. As I looked around, I saw we were in some kind of lobby for a hospital or something. I could tell it was magical by the people waving their wands around and the moving portraits on the wall. I buried my head back into the warm chest of Moony.
He was talking to someone and I heard a gasp from that person.
I felt Moony walking somewhere and I heard a door open.
"Terra, wake up," Moony said, trying to wake me up. I opened my eyes and saw we were in a hospital room.
Moony tried to gently rest me onto the hospital bed, but I clung onto him. "Terra, you're safe squirt. These people will take care of you." I reluctantly let go of my godfather.
"Where are we?" I squeaked as Remus tucked me under the thin sheets. "St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries." "Why?" I was confused why we were here. He rolled his eyes and said," You were just attacked," in a 'duh' voice. Two healers wearing offensively bright green robes strode into the room.
One of the healers, a tall woman with her dark wavy brown hair in a tight ponytail, walked towards me and cast a few spells. I immediately felt a cooling sensation that calmed my nerves, which I hadn't noticed were tense and shaking. She whispered something to her co-worker, who jotted something down on a clipboard.
She then turned to address Moony. "She definitely has been held under the Cruciatus curse for a number of hours, which in turn led her to scream so much, her throat bled. Her ankle has also been twisted."
I could've told you that much, I thought.
The woman then turned to me. She summoned a potion towards her and poured it into a goblet that was on a nightstand next to me. "Drink," she ordered.
The potion soothed my raw throat, though it tasted like old mud. She flicked her wand and my ankle was put back in place.
After the tall woman whispered something to the short man with board, he immediately ran out of the room.
After he left, the woman addressed me with kind eyes and a tight smile," I'm Healer Tonks. I assume you are Terralena. Jelena told me all about you."
"Y- you know- I mean knew my mom," I stuttered. "Of course I know Jelena. We went to Hogwarts together. And why did you say knew as if she was gone?" Healer Tonks answered.
I immediately ducked my head down to cover my face. Thankfully, I didn't have to say anything because Moony answered for me. I heard him whisper something to the tall woman.
Her gasp was loud and shocked. I looked up and saw tears welling in her eyes. "Not Jelena and Adrian, anyone but them," Healer Tonks was shaking her head in denial. "I know, Andromeda," said Moony. Healer Tonks then summoned another potion. This one was a light shade of blue, as opposed to the harsh yellow of the other potion.
As I drank it, I felt drowsy. I yawned and curled up into a little ball and swiftly fell asleep.
Remus Lupin had a headache. After the full moon, to this torture of finding out his best friends were dead and his goddaughter was tortured.
Andromeda Tonks looked towards the tired looking werewolf and said," I've contacted the Aurors and they're sending someone here to talk to Terra."
"You mean interrogate?" Remus asked dryly. Andromeda rolled her eyes and said," More or less."
Suddenly, two figures walked into the hospital room. One was a woman with jet-black hair and soft features. The other was a tall, slender old man with long, shining white hair and beard. Half-moon glasses were perched upon his crooked nose. His blue eyes twinkled with mischief and intelligence.
"Profess- I mean Albus. Emmeline. What are you guys doing here?" Remus inquired. "I, along with Miss Vance, am here to check up on Miss Parker," replied the old wizard in a soft voice.
"I was sent here to interrogate Miss Parker about the events of tonight," said Emmeline Vance in a business-like tone.
"She just fell asleep. Maybe talk to her after she wakes up," Tonks suggested. Vance curtly nodded. She walked out of the room.
"Remus, I would like to have a word with you, if that is alright," Dumbledore said kindly. "Of course, Albus," Remus answered.
"In private," he added glancing at Andromeda. "Alright." Remus addressed Tonks. "Will you look after her?" "Of course. Now go," she shooed the two men out.
"Follow me," Dumbledore said. His long robes brushed the floor as he walked.
They walked towards a wall with many fireplaces. "We shall Apparate to my office," said Dumbledore, turning to Remus. He stepped into the fireplace and vanished with a loud crack!
