Present Mixed in the Past

Chapter 17| Meeting Remus

The small group of Gods had gotten together once more, a few nights before the Halloween feast. They were trying to discuss on how to not have Professor Quirrell interrupting their feast. The twins were just grinning happily, a clear thought in their minds. Harry was interested in what they were wanting to do, so he asked.

"We were thinking-"

"Of sending a-"

"Cyphered note about the stone~" They finished off, giggling happily.

The small group blinked before grinning. Yes, that would be good.

"It should be in Parseltongue. He'll take that more seriously." Neville offered.

Harry nodded, already getting ready to write the note. It was the easiest way to get the old Voldemort to not ruin the meal. It would also get rid of the annoying Professor the more humane way. At least he wouldn't be dying by his hands again.

After that, the meeting was cut short. The twins were given the note to give to the possessed teacher. It wasn't long before the teacher vanished, leaving no trace of him. Many of the rumors suggested he was taken by vampires or something else. Even the other teachers were unsure where Quirrell had gone.

During this time, Harry had received two letters and a new broom, one letter from Rita and the other from Remus. Though, Harry was confused on the broom as it appeared to have been given by his Head House. This time around Dumbledore had refused to allow Harry and Draco to play in Quidditch as first-years, something the Golden Boy understood. The game was dangerous, especially for first years, no matter how talented.

Still, the Potter was happy to have his broom, it was at least something he didn't have to worry about for the next year. Once he was done with that 'letter', he focused on Remus's letter. It brought a smile to his face.

"Smiling?" George leaned over, looking at the letter.

"He's agreed."

George softly laughed and nodded. After that, the rest of the school year till the Yule break was pretty simple. Most of the DADA classes were cancelled or given to other teachers, so there wasn't any homework. That was something that he liked as he wanted more time with Remus and the trial. He honestly couldn't wait to meet Remus and save him.

Harry hummed a little as he waited for Remus. He had already told his Aunt where and who he was meeting with, so he didn't have to worry about worrying her. She was quite happy that he was reaching out towards his father's old friends, she actually apologized for not being much help in finding them! It was really nice of her, so different from how he had known her in his first life. He hoped that Sirus and Remus would see how much she had changed from the last time they saw her.

"H-Harry?"

The young boy quickly looked to the source of the voice and smiled brightly for a moment. He then frowned in concern. The man before him was frail looking and his clothes were slightly torn and old. The man was groomed well, but it was clear he wasn't living good.

"A-Ah, sorry this-"

"Do you want to get something to eat before we go in? You're far too thin."

The older wizard didn't get much time to say anything before he was pulled off to some of the restaurants. He looked down to the eleven-year-old with curious eyes. He wasn't sure why, but something about the boy seemed off. It wasn't a bad off, just a weird off. The werewolf mentally shook it away, he should focus more on what the child was saying and doing rather than just letting himself be dragged around like a doll.

"After we eat, we can go in and get your blood checked." The eleven-year-old hummed.

Remus paused in his step before stumbling after the other.
