Immortal Magic (Part 3: Deathly Hallows Part 1/2

Chapter Seven

Allison's Point of View:

Continuing From Where We Left Off:

Remus sighs looking between all four of us before leaning back in his chair. ''Attendance is now compulsory for every young Witch or Wizard,'' Remus starts. 

''That was announced yesterday, which is a change because it has never been compulsory before,'' Remus shakes his head. ''Every Which or Wizard who has been taught at Hogwarts has been given the option to home school their kids or even send them abroad if they wanted to,'' Remus informs us. 

''This way Voldemort would have his eye on the entire Wizarding Population under his eye from a young age. Another way also of weeding out the Muggle-Borns is because students must be given blood status,'' Remus tells us. ''Meaning that they have proven to the Ministry that they are of Wizarding decent before they are admitted to Hogwarts,'' I sighed. 

Remus looks between Harry and me hesitantly before sighing. ''I understand if you can't confirm this you two but all of The Order are under the impression that Dumbledore has given you both a mission,'' Remus speaks up. 

''He did,'' Harry nods his head. ''Ron and Hermione are in on it and they have sworn up and down that they are coming with us,'' I tell him sighing and looking at my brother and best friend. 

''Can you confide in me what the mission was?'' Remus asks us. Harry and I share hesitant looks before Harry looks back to Remus. ''I'm sorry Remus, if Dumbledore didn't tell you, then I don't think we can,'' Harry tells him. 

''I thought you would say that,'' Remus sighs. ''However, I still think that I might be of some use to you. You know what I am and what I can do. I could come with you to provide some protection. There would be no need to tell me exactly what you are up to,'' Remus bargains. 

I give him a confused look. Something that Hermione also seems to share with me. ''What about Tonks?'' Hermione asks him. ''What about her?'' Remus asks confused. 

''You are married, and expecting a baby, how does she feel about you coming with us?'' I ask him. ''Tonks will be perfectly safe at her family's place,'' Remus tells us. 

''Do you accept my offer?'' Remus asks us after a moment of silence. ''Will four become five,'' when we didn't answer he sighs. 

''I can't believe that Dumbledore would have disapproved, after all, he did appoint me as your Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. I must tell you that I think we are facing magic that we have never encountered,'' Remus lists. 

Hermione and Ron look at Harry and me, and I look at Harry. Harry looks at me for a moment unsure. ''It's up to you,'' I tell him. 

''Just to be clear, you want to leave Tonks at her parents' place?'' Harry asks him still sounding confused. 

''She will be perfectly safe there, they will look after her and the baby,'' Remus tells us. ''Quite frankly I think James would have wanted me to go with you,'' Remus tells Harry. 

''I don't think he would,'' Harry shakes his head. ''He would be wondering why you wouldn't want to stay with your wife and kid,'' Harry tells him. 

''You don't understand,'' Remus tells him. ''Explain it to me then,'' Harry tells him. ''I made a mistake marrying Tonks against my better judgment. I have regretted it ever since,'' Remus tells us. 

I look at him in disbelief not believing a word he was saying. ''You would just abandon her and you're own kid?'' Harry asks him sharply. 

I stand up as does Harry when Remus pushes his chair back roughly and glares at Harry. I step slightly in front of Harry.
