Chapter 4
A Dear friend
Rhiannon walked straight into the Forbidden Forest, ignoring the calls of Dumbledore and Hagrid. She didn’t trust herself to speak let alone hold a rational conversation. The images she’d seen were burned into her mind. The emotions and smells making her shake. She sensed the forest creatures, at the edge of her consciousness. The centaurs giving her wide berth while most other animals scurried away at her approach. She walked until all light was blocked out and she was surrounded by giant spider webs. Continued walking until light poured in around her again. The boy was just like his father, a sadist to the core. The poor women their screams were echoing in her mind. Nothing she had seen had ended in death, with one exception. Even the vision of her own future, it hadn’t been her death she knew that. Guardians were incapable of seeing their own death, just that of others. But she’d seen pain and suffering that could make one wish for death. She dropped down to sit on a fallen tree. The child, and that’s what Draco was really, had seen things that most adults shouldn’t see. Granted she’d seen worse, it was part of what she was to witness the absolute worst that humanity had to offer. But this boy seemed to relish the horrible acts both done to him and expected of him. She shuddered and would have noticed the man standing behind her but was replaying the murder the boy was supposed to commit over and over in her mind.
“I thought I smelled Irish cream.” A man’s deep rumbling voice made her jump.
Rhiannon spun around and smiled at the large sandy haired man standing behind her.
“Remus.” She shrieked before launching herself into the werewolf’s open arms.
He hugged her tightly chasing away the chills she’d been left with.
“The creatures are talking. A Guardian has come to visit us.” He sat her down and followed her back to the fallen tree.
Rhiannon looked her friend over, he’d changed a lot in the five years since she’d seen him last. His robes were more frayed; shadows darkened his face where stubble didn’t. He looked thin, like a man that didn’t get quite as many meals as he needed and his sandy blonde hair reached his shoulders.
“Tell the creatures not to worry; I’m not here for one of them. Dumbledore has asked me for something.” She smiled sadly at him. Remus Lupin, her best friend and first love. She’d missed him in the five years she’d spent in the States. “What are you doing here Remus? Last you told me someone from school had gotten you a job.”
“Rhiannon, that was two years ago. Dumbledore hired me as DADA teacher, but it got out about me being a werewolf and that was the end of that.” He shrugged sheepishly.
“Why didn’t you contact me? I would have helped you.”
“Ah Rhi,” He had always used that name for her. “I was okay. About the same time a friend I thought had been lost came back. I stayed with him for a while, until… well he had to go again.” He looked sad, worn down and lost.
“It was Sirius Black wasn’t it?” She had seen the man in the children’s memories.
“Yes. What are you doing here Rhi? Shouldn’t you be in hiding?”
“Dumbledore asked for a favor. I’m willing to do it but I need permission from The
Elders before I can proceed.”
Remus watched her a moment, saw the frown pulling at her lips. “What are you doing in the Forest?”
“I, I saw something in the eyes of a Slytherin boy.” She knew Remus would understand her. “I just needed to take a walk, clear my mind.”
“You’re kind of far from Hogwarts. How bout I walk you back?” He stood and held out a hand for her. She grasped it enjoying the warmth that radiated from him. They walked in silence for a long time before he finally asked, “Want to tell me what you saw?”
“No.”
“How bout who you saw it in?”
“Draco Malfoy.” She sighed, idiot boy following in his father’s footsteps.
“Oh, well. I can guess what you saw.” He squeezed her hand “What did Dumbledore ask of you?”
“Such curiosity,” She smiled at her friend, glad to have run into him. At least she could make his day better, somewhat. “He asked me to go to the ministry, and look into the veil.”
Remus stopped her statement sinking in. “Sirius?”
She nodded, “As long as they approve.” She really hoped they, would if for no other reason than to make Remus smile. She had a feeling she’d do it even if They didn’t approve.
