Back In Time

Leaving Hogwarts and Moving to Grimmauld Place

Five days. That's how long I spent in the Hospital Wing. Five days. Five days of sitting on a bed. Not being allowed to leave. Taking the same potion three times in one hour. Every hour. But. It was helping my voice. Helping it get better. Slowly. But better. Even now. My voice was almost back to normal. It was just deeper and slower. I didn't know how long it would be till my voice was normal again. I hope it will be soon.

Everyday my friends would visit me. Tell me what was happening at Hogwarts. Mostly everyone was depressed. Though they tried to change the subject. It worked most of the times. But it was hard. Not to think about it. A person had died at Hogwarts.That was something that was hard to forget. It was really hard. When that happened. We would all just sit in silence. Starring at nothing. A some point. Someone would try to make a happy comment. We all would agree. Then go back to starring in silence. Like now for instance. It was the last day of school. In a few minutes was the Leaving Feast. I couldn't go. I had to stay here. Until the morning.

We were all starring into place. Me, Harry, Hermione, Ron, the twins, Ginny, Draco, Remus, and Sirius, in human form. All of us. Not saying anything. Just staring. Thinking. Until the doors opened.

"Ah, Ms. Potter. Good to see you looking better." The voice said. I turned my head toward the doors. It didn't hurt as much to move anymore. But it still hurt. The voice belonged to Dumbledore. He walked up to my bed and patted my head.

"It's good to be better. Professor." I murmured. Slowly.

"I bet it is."

"Is there a reason you're here, Albus?" Remus asked.

"Yes there is. We need to discuss where Aspen will be spending the summer."

"I thought I was staying here. Like I always do." I replied. I grew up in the castle. When Hagrid went to pick up Harry and drop him off at our Aunt and Uncle's place. He forgot me. I was in a different room than Harry. So, Dumbledore went back to the blown up house and brought me back to the castle. Where I lived ever since.

"That is one of the options. Yes."

"What do you mean by 'options'?" I asked. Confused. Where else would I go?

"I mean. You can either stay here for the summer. Like you normally do. Or. And I think it might be best. In my opinion. That maybe you could go back with Sirius and Remus. And stay with them for the summer." Dumbledore replied.

Both Sirius and Remus looked up at Dumbledore at this point.

"Stay with Sirius and Remus?"

"Yes. If you would like to. That is." Dumbledore looked at me. With that twinkle in his eye.

Live with Sirius and Remus during the summer. Stay with my Godfather and my sorta Uncle. The thought brought me happiness.

"If it's alright with them two. I would very much like that." I responded back. Looking between the two men.

"We would love it, if you stayed with us, Aspen." Sirius replied.

"I agree." Remus replied as well. I smiled at the two. Which they returned.

"Good. Good. Now. Sirius? Do you think you'll be able to take care of two Werewolves during the full moons?"

"We don't even know if she'll turn into one. Right?" Fred and George asked at the same time.

"That. We do not know. Based on what I have heard. Greyback was indeed. A Werewolf when he bit young Aspen. It sounds as if the spell he used, made him able to turn into his Werewolf form. So. We can only guess. I think she might though. Only time will tell." Dumbledore answered the question.
