Albus' office (private:Albus/Lily/Remus)

Dead, she thought...dead with her husband, but it wasnt true and she had seen it for herself, why hadnt he told her? why hadnt he said something earlier, all these years she had been morning not only for the death of her beloved husband but also for her son, and now she finds out he's alive, and was alive the whole time, Lily couldnt help but feel hurt, feel betrayed, but there must have been a good reason for Albus to have kept it from her, never the less, she wasnt going to take it easy.

As she made her way through the Hogwarts castle, the hood up upon her cloack as it bellowed behind her with the brisk walk she was keeping, not caring if anyone was to see her, she was in too much of a rage, if Lily could ever bring herself to a rage that was, making her way to his office door upon the 4th floor of the castle, not bothering to knock as she pushed the door open, her hood falling from her head to reveal her pale face and firey red hair as she mearly stood there staring at Albus, pain and slight anger in her Emerald eyes.



((I hope im right by saying the 4th floor :S ))

Albus had been writing a letter to a friend in the Ministry of Magic on a variety of matters. He folded the letter very evenly in half and placed in inside the envelope. He took the envelope and put it on the writing side down and took a stamp, he pushed it onto the fold of the back of the envelope and sealed it with the Hogwarts Crest just as Lily entered.

"Oh hello Lily, to what do I owe this late night pleasure? I've had the feeling that very soon you would visit me..."

Albus took note of the anger shining in the emerald eyes that Harry Potter's own eyes resembled so much.

(( You aren't! In Chamber of Secrets Dumbledore's office is on the 2nd Floor but in Half-Blood Prince it's in one of the 7th Floor Towers. And you also forgot the Gargoyle, it isn't just a door! ))

As he spoke with such calm towns Lily glared slightly and walked toward the desk, her hands slamming down upon the old wood as she looked to his eyes

"why didnt you tell me?"

she demanded, her voice treatening to break as she spoke, her eyes showing the desperation she felt, her hands were a pale colour due to coldness, as they rested there upon his desk,

"WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME!"

she repeated, shouting the words this time, she longed ofr an answer, longed for him to speak, to explain himself.


((oops, i really should read the books lol.....im not very good at remebering things, and the quote 'to what do i owe this late night pleasure?' just sounds dirty lol ))

Albus raised from his seat and went round to counsel Lily. She was in a state of both shock, realisation and still pain that would need to be handled with care. He always chose his words very carefully which seemed to pay off very well in the long-term since they seemed to be the correct ones; his gentle and calm tone spoke again.

"Do you wish me to accompany you to the Hospital Wing? Madame Pomfrey I am sure would be obligeful to give you the Draught of Peace or something to calm you down," he asked, speaking gently to her.

He placed his hand on her shoulder "You did the right thing by staying where you were. Now you're back and he knows it; don't live in the past. All we can do is try to understand it. We have understood its reasons and the reasons fit the practical sessions... everything is alright now."

Albus felt somewhat awkward when Lily rested on his chest. He patted her twice and took her head off, disguising it well by putting both his hands on each of her shoulders and looking at her; his blue eyes positively looking like the ocean and flowing like a current.

"It's alright. Now would you like to go? I think it would be a good option for you to go... get some rest. You look positively exhausted."

Albus walked to the Marble Staircase, he had to go down 6 floors with Lily to reach the Hospital Wing which lay in wait on the first floor. He walked down the stairs and entered the corridor which would take them down, walking along the corridor past the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and then another corridor and a left; leading down a flight of stairs. It opened up a larger corridor at the bottom of which lay the doors to the Hospital Wing.

Albus walked over an pushed the doors both open, it had two rows of beds with white sheets, eight beds on each side. At the top of the room there were another two closed doors, behind which lay Madame Pomfrey's office.

"Have a seat, I'll go fetch a Draught of Peace... I must sneak, Madame Pomfrey is still mad at me for waking up a First Year at the end of last term!" he chuckled and walked along the corridor and opened a closet. He started browsing inside the closet.

Albus rummaged around the closet as she asked. "Not at the moment, although I am trying very hard to get him to return for this term. It's important he returns. I've offered the Defence Against the Dark Arts position to Severus."

He found a small transparent bottle that had clear liquid that looked like water inside it. He opened the stopper and a silvery vapour came out the top, Albus smelled the potion. He took a deep breath and smiled. "Ironically difficult to make, a disastrous should anybody over-do the ingredients. Powdered Moonstone has to be used in an extremely small amount for the potion..." he said and poured it into a small glass. The silvery vapour that came from the bottle filled most of the room with a delightful smell that cleared your sinuses.

"This dose should last around seven hours, that's a good time for you to sleep and after that we'll see how you feel, Lily." He sat down the glass on the table at the bottom of the bed Lily was sitting on. "I'll tell Poppy you are here after you've taken the potion, she only gives doses to five hours!" he said and chuckled. "Very cautious woman, Madame Pomfrey is..."

(( Sorry for the late reply, I was ill yesterday and the day before and couldn't reply. ))

Albus looked at Lily, "They aren't a lot of Severus' about!" chuckled Albus. "Yes, Severus Snape... he's been Potions Master here for ... fifteen years. He originally applied for the Defence Against The Dark Arts position but I thought Potions was indeed a better fit, and it was, but I feel it's time he was given the position he has longed for," he said. Albus didn't mention the fact he gave Severus the position because it would be the last time he would be a teacher after the events that would soon follow.

Lily watched as Albus spoke, listening to him intently, she couldnt believe Severus was working here, and was he there now? in the same building as herself?, she bit he rlower lip ever so ever so gently, it had been so very, very long since she had seen her 'old friend' well, ever since that day at school when he bad mouthered her in front of her face, she sighed a little and looked to her hand sin thought before she parted ehr lips to speak once more.

"is...is he here now?"

she aske dhim curiously, glancing up ever so slyly in order to see his expresion.

“You are not being a burden to me, but you are to yourself. You need to rest, I'm sure Severus would be delighted to see you in the future. But as I said, he’s currently away on Order work,” he said, leaving out the part where Severus was a spy. Albus smiled warmly at Lily and looked around the otherwise completely empty room. “Now go, rest!” he chuckled.

(( If you wish you can put her to sleep and then make a "6 Hours Later" thing where she wakes up. ))

((and where would that be?...would she not awaken in the same bed in the hospital wing? ))

(( Obvilusly, but she could return to Albus’ office. ))
