"Bullet wounds? Where on earth did you get that from?"
"Uhhmhhhh!!"
"Quiet down, Sirius!"
"You should have taken him to a muggle hospital. I can't treat wounds unless the bullet is removed."
"Take him to a muggle hospital in his wolf form? Are you out of your mind?"
"Ahhhuhmmm!"
"Shut up, Sirius!"
More screams echoed from Lysing Hail number 4 house. The neighbors gathered together to see what was going on. After a few minutes, a crowd had formed outside the house. Josette noticed them through the window and went outside.
She bowed and apologized, "I'm really sorry for the disturbance. Harry's friends got into a fight at school and got hurt pretty badly. We were panicking for no reason, everything's fine now."
"A school fight? Harry has really grown, huh?" One of them chuckled, and they all shared a laugh. The crowd dispersed, realizing there was no danger.
"I hope they're okay," another neighbor asked.
"Yes, yes," Josette replied.
"So, you're really back then? I didn't expect to see you again after you all disappeared so suddenly," Ben, their sixty-year-old neighbor who was the first to welcome the two couples back then into the neighborhood, asked.
Josette sighed. She really didn't have time for this right now. "Yes, it was difficult after Lily's death, and we all just fell apart." Josette chuckled dryly.
Lily's death? Ben thought. The newspaper clearly said Sirius Black killed his two best friends. He had always believed it was James and Lily. Guess he was wrong. "Yes, yes, we saw the news about Sirius."
"He was framed," she quickly defended him.
"We know that now. Even back then, I had a hard time believing it. You all were so close, it was hard to believe Sirius did that."
Josette didn't know if he was being genuine or just being kind. "I'll see you around then. I should get back to the kids-"
"Yes, yes, I'll leave you alone now." He laughed and walked away.
Josette sighed and opened the door. James was waiting on the other side and asked, "Did they leave?"
"Yes, I feel like we overreacted a lot," Josette laughed at her own actions. She closed the door behind her and they walked in. "Our plan was successful in the end. The kids are here safe, Neville is resting now that all his wounds are healed. Bellatrix is going to pay for that. And Remus wasn't that seriously injured."
Upon their return and seeing Remus' state, Josette was quite scared. She didn't want to lose her friend or disappoint Tonks, as this was her plan that they all followed. But once they turned him back from wolf to Remus, they saw that the bullets had missed all the vital organs and hit both of his arms. Fred and George took him to the muggle hospital, leaving on brooms under the disillusionment charm from the back door to avoid the crowd. Once he returns, Josette can easily heal him and he will be back to normal.
