The New Prophecy

Chapter 6: Starting the plan

LILY POV:

Remus was gone, but I had to be strong. I had to be thankful for everyone else.

"Did you know him well?" I said, wiping my tears and collecting myself, along with Hermione.

"He was our third year defense teacher." Hermione said, sniffling a bit, but doing better.

I let her go and went towards James, who had a blank stare on his face. He didn't say anything, just pulled me in his embrace, holding me tightly.

"I'm so sorry." Hermione said.

"I shouldn't have spilled it so quickly but, he was the most important person I could think of, and I just-" Hermione stuttered, but Sirus stopped her.

"It's not your fault." He said, his throat dry.

"Maybe he'll come back like us." He chuckled nostalgically.

"That reminds me." Hermione said.

"We should find Professor McGonagall, and sort this out with everyone, including Harry." Hermione said.

I felt James shift a bit at the sound of Harry and we all looked at Hermione's held out hand. Sirius grabbed on first and then me, and soon, James.

Pop!

I saw McGonagall standing there in shock. I quickly cast my patronus and launched myself towards her.

"Lily Potter." She breathed, hugging me back.

"And Dumbledore?" She said as we pulled away.

Hermione showed her map and she gasped.

"Hey! We created that map Minne!" Sirius exclaimed.

James rolled his eyes and came to greet Minerva, with Sirus trailing along.

"Can you imagine? Your favorite student? Back from the dead?" He asked dramatically.

"Oh shut up Black and explain yourselves." She said, smirking.

"Well Hermione pretty much explained a few things, but said we should know everything since first year from Harry." I said, watching everyone on the room.

"Unfortunately, she is right. Although I'm not sure exactly where Harry is or what in the name of Merlin is going on anymore so I guess we'll just let Ms. Granger tell us that." She said, eyeing Hermione, who was frantically searching the map.

"There he is again! With Dumbledore. In the astronomy tower." She exclaimed.

We all gathered around the map and watched as none of them moved.

"Identical twins or what?" Ron let out.

"I don't think so." Hermione said, as Dumbledore started moving towards the door, and Harry staying behind.

"He wants to sort things out." She said, obviously creating a plan in her head.

"Ronald." She said, handing him the map.

"Make sure Harry doesn't see anyone he shouldn't before we talk to Dumbledore. I need to cast a patronus." She said, moving to the side.

I heard her mumble a few sentences, and stay there nervously. Soon, a white Phoenix patronus entered the room.

"Thank you Ms. Granger. Keep an eye out for Harry, and I will be there momentarily." Dumbledore's voice said.

Within a few seconds, there was a pop and Dumbledore was standing in front of us.

"So it is true." He gasped.

Sirius did a funny little wave, James smiled, and I stared at everyone around me in shock.
