Pink And Beastly (Ronks)

Chapter 21 ~ The Other Side

Some of you will remember this from Shine Bright Like a Wolfstar. Except I don't end it here, I have left out Amy because she doesn't need to be here and I change some things. Enjoy

That was all Remus could see. Things echoed faintly inside his head, memories, whispers of his past. They eventually ceased into nothing. He just lay there, wherever 'there' was exactly.

"Well get up then you lazy ass." Someone laughed. Remus knew that voice all too well. He opened his eyes, and there he was, a man he had missed terribly.

"Didn't think I'd be seeing you so soon mate, thought you'd have grown old." Sirius laughed

Sirius looked different, he looked younger, healthier and stronger. He helped Remus to his feet.

"I'm dead?" Remus gasped.

"Afraid so." Sirius sighed, grasping his shoulder.

"But, what about my family?" Remus cried. "My wife and son?"

"Wife and son? " Sirius exclaimed "You need to tell me everything. Who's your wife, how'd you meet, what does she look like, her age and when the hell did you have this kid!?"

"Later." Remus sighed, not ready to talk about what he'd left behind.

Remus was looking around, but it was just white "Where are we?"

"Now that is a matter of opinion and belief." Sirius said.

He started walking and Remus followed. "Some say it's Heavan, other's say it's a Train Station because we can move on properly when we want to, some say its the Afterlife. And some say it's a space caught between life and death."

"What do you say?" Remus asked

"I call it 'The Other Side'." Sirius replied

"Why?"

"We aren't on the living side of things anymore. That's gone from us, forever. This is the other side, the side of the dead. The side we can live and be eternally young." Sirius explained

Remus was about to reply when colours started drifting towards him in small broken fragments. Shapes, buildings, smells and noise began to appear and they switched his senses back on.

"Where are we now?" Remus asked, a little scared

"This is where we stay." Sirius said "We all have a house, each one designed for our needs. I've met many familiar faces around here. Would you like to meet them?"

"Sure." Sighed Remus, knowing that he didn't have anything better to do

Sirius walked up to a big red bricked building and knocked on the door five times before entering. Nothing could prepare Remus for who was inside. Inside the building was a massive living room with a large circular table. And around the table, were many many faces he thought he'd never see again.

"Lily!? James!?" Remus cried in shock when he saw them.

Those two people turned round and stared at him in shock. Lily, James then instantly smiled warmly. Lily jumped up and hugged Remus tight. James soon replaced her in Remus's arms.

"Welcome home buddy." James said

"Thank you Remus," lily said happily "Thank you for looking after our son, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect friend."

"It was my pleasure." Remus said sadly, suddenly remember his son he left behind. He sighed loudly, trying not to remember.

"You ok?" James asked
