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

There was a knock on the door. On the way up to his office he hard heard taking,he knew someone else was inside with him, but then he heard a clutter, a thud.

He knocked on the door again, and waited to see if anyone was going to answer, but after a brief few moments, Remus had enough and forced the door open.

He looked around the room and saw lily was there... and Albus in the floor of his office. "Albus!" Remus shouted. He had been like a father to Remus, letting him into the school, giving him the best life someone like himself could have. He was very protective over him ".. what happened!" he demanded, going to Dumbledore's side , wanting to help him to his feet.

Albus lay on the floor, in obvious agony. His face was strained and purple. The Horcrux and Hallow lay feet away from each of the people in the room. Albus had to destroy it one way or another. None of the people in the room could know what that Ring truly was.

"Lily," he moaned as she entered the room and sat by his side. As Remus entered Albus called out "Where is Severus, Remus?! I must see S-Severus... immediately!" he called out, louder than most had ever heard Albus call. The portraits around his Office had obviously seen what had happened. They began to whisper things.

"- When he put on that Ring!"
"- What did it do?"
"- His hand, look at his hand!"

Albus' blackened finger was slowly moving, barely noticeable. It looked as though the finger was dead and the shrivelled and burned flesh moved along slowly up. Albus looked immensely weak, he wriggled in pain on the floor, his face being a strained purple and red. "It's vital I get to Severus' private store.... T-To - ahh! - make a Potion. M-My wand... R-Remus, get me it and I can lower the anti-Apparation spell covering the school and get us to Severus' store for a-a m-m-moment," he said pointing at the wand that sat beside the ring. "Do not touch that ring!" he called, the utter most contempt rang in his voice. "And that book, on my desk, the black one, b-bring it!" he said.

Albus looked like he was going to explode, his hand was shaking violently and his face was construed with anger, rage and pain.

Remus put his arm around Albus as Lily went to get the book ".. I will do my best Albus.. but as you know.. I am not the best potions maker.." he thought back to his school days, most of them burst into smoke into his face. He was pleased someone he knew, even if they didn't get on, could make them, even with Albus telling him what to do, this was going to be near impossible, specially with the pressure, on his shoulders.

"When you remove the charm over the school I will take us straight there.. and get you healed.." he promised himself more than anything. He could not have the man who saved him, die in his arms. He had his wand in his hand, grasping it, ready.
