The Evening Meeting

6:58. Remus was sat by the fire, waiting for the Motorbike man to arrive.

6:59

7:00

It was a tense wait. This man was not normal - he was out of the ordinary and strange. He didn't even recognise the police.

Remus heard the knock on the door. Two long taps.

He took in a deep breath and opened the door.

"Look, I know Pad-Sirius was meant to be here, Moony, but I am here until he gets here." A man with black, scruffy hair said. His eyes were serious, and he held a stick of wood by his side. As Remus looked at it, he tucked it away again.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" Remus asked.

"Prongs. My name is Prongs."

"Can I please have your real name, not your code name." Remus said.

"James. James is my name." The man, Prongs or James told Remus.

"Thank you. Umm...come in?" Remus led him into the sofa, where he settled in quickly and then decided to go collect a drink.

Remus didn't think anything of it until he decided to go to the toilet. How on earth did he know where the toilet was? Hell, How did he know where the kitchen was?

"Umm, James?" Remus asked as James walked back in.

"Yes, Remus?"

"You know my house. I didn't tell you where you were, I don't know you, so how? And what group are you part of that gives you awful spy names?"

"I know this house because, well, I think Sirius should be here for when I explain that. And as for the group thing? It is called the Marauders. We have Sirius, who is Padfoot, Peter, who is Wormtail, and Remus who is Moony, and myself who is Prongs." James told Remus, and then went wide eyed as he realised what he had just revealed.

"What? You know another person called Remus?"

"No, not exactly, Remus. Moony is, well....you." James shifted in his seat.

"HELLO AND WELCOME TO PADFOOT'S GREAT ARRIVAL. STARTING PADFOOT HIMSELF AND LILY POTTER!" Sirius shouted as he entered the house. He was leading a beautiful woman in, who had ginger hair and green eyes.

"Remus, it is nice to see you. How is the magic going? Is Lyall any better? How are the....transformations?. The lycanthropy." Lily said in a hushed tone.

"What?" Remus was bewildered an befuddled. What were these crazy people on about?

"This is Lily Potter, my wife." James got up and introduced her. Sirius flopped down on the sofa that James had left.

"Ah. Nothing better than Remus' sofa. Always been a comfy spot, here." Sirius sighed happily.

"Now, look, Lily. We have something to tell you, I just need to talk to Sirius quickly." James whispered to Lily.

"Sirius, can I have a word?"

James and Sirius walked off.

"PADFOOT, why did you bring my wife?!" James asked.

"Well, it is a long story, involving duck tape, an onion and a lasagna..." Padfoot drifted off into his mind.

Meanwhile in the lounge:

"So Remus. What book are you reading at the moment?" Lily asked, falling into the habit they had so many years ago.

"Ummm....Hamlet." He eventually remembered.

"Remus, again with the muggle books? Honestly, read Beedle the Bard and you can learn loads! Trust me, or even Hogwarts:A History!" Lily said.

"What?" Remus was confused.

"Alright, Remus, you have played enough. Tell me what is the incantation for the flight spell?" Lily asked.

"Mrs Potter, I have no idea what you are talking about."

"What words don't you understand?" Lily said sarcastically.

"Muggle, Beedle, bard, Hogwarts, incantation, flight spell." Remus listed.

"Remus, stop playing." Lily sighed. Remus looked at her.

"Where is your wand, Remus?" Lily asked.

"I don't know what a wand is, Mrs Potter. I don't have one in my possession. I don't know you and I have no idea who the people that are currently in my house are. They have called themselves Padfoot, Prongs and said that they are agents of the Marauders. The last straw was when they pulled out sticks of wood." Remus said sincerely. Lily's eyes darkened.

"JAMES POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK GET YOUR BUTTS IN HERE RIGHT NOW!" She screamed.

"Yeeeeessssssss?" Sirius asked.

"YOU OBLIVIATED REMUS?"

"Well...."

"HE HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF MAGIC, YOU IDIOT! HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"

"Excuse me, but can someone tell me what is going on?" Remus piped up.

"You're a wizard, Remus."
