A Fall Through Worlds And Time Apart

Part 5

" I.... Urghh.. You see.. I am.."  she struggled for words as Remus looked expectantly.

"Ohh alright I am dead in my world in 2020. Yes. And so I can't go back now. That's it. "

She took a really long breath and looked at them,"  I don't want to talk about it. Please, we all have certain personal matters we would rather not share in public. Remus.. Sorry, Mr Lupin, please don't ask about it. And please please make sure Mr Black doesn't too. I beg you.. "

Remus just blinked at her confused.

" We won't force you to share your personal information with us dear. It's OK"  Albus assured.

Remus asked then, " So.. Just confirming. As per your say, you are muggle, from another country and lived in the future. You have no idea how you reached here"

"That's right " she said dryly.

Remus stepped forward" But you seem to be well familiar with our world as well as us.  Normally muggles are unaware of our existence. It's illegal that you know so much. And how do you know us in person? How is that possible? "

She suddenly clapped her hand to her forehead, making Lupin take a step back." Oh I forgot the most important point. You are all characters from a book in my world. It's supposed to be a work of fiction. But.. Now that am here, if am here, I suppose either you are real or am not.. I prefer the first one "

Remus blinked again" What? Book? Us? What book? What does it say? "

Albus stopped him," Do not share anything that may cause a traumatic change in the course dear. Reveal only safe and necessary points. "

She suddenly grinned," of course Professor. Mysterious thing, Time. Powerful, and when meddled with, dangerous."

The headmaster's eyes twinkled like stars as he tilted his head and said, "I couldn't agree more, my dear girl. You are our most reliable ally indeed. I hope you will find us and our world interesting. For now, I must take leave. We will meet soon dear, perhaps tomorrow."

With that he was gone. Remus looked at her. "I am so sorry but it's really...  hard to imagine. Me being part of a famous book?"

" the story revolves around Harry Potter. You are portrayed just honestly, as a close guardian of him and the best DADA professor " she said

Remus blushed deep." am not that good.. Teaching "

" oh come on Remus, you taught Harry the patronus charm, not to forget the boggart lesson.. Come on, you are everybody's favorite. Mine obviously " she suddenly stopped, eyes wide." am so sorry. I called you Remus, Mr Lupin. Am sorry. I know I should keep away from you all. You are all magic and am nothing. Am sorry. Please.. " she continued in her mother tongue.

Remus suddenly grabbed her trembling hands. The sudden warmth shut her up." Don't be sorry. None of us would ever hurt you. If you know about me like you said you would surely know I never hated muggles and never harm anyone unless it's... " he stopped and left her arms.

She held them and said," that time of the month I know and I think you are more humane than many so called humans... You are no monster Remus. Ahh talk about that. Wait till you meet the pink toad" she groaned.

Remus eyes glistened and he had a smile as he said softly, "Thank you"

Just then an irritated voice asked from the door "Who is the pink toad?"

" Harry hasn't started hogwarts? " she asked Remus.
