"well i can try but I'm afraid that some wizengamot members won't be entirely convinced because of my condition ,but I'll try ,is that all?"He replied. |
"To try is all I'll ever ask." she said, tears forming in her eyes. She hugged him briefly and then sped from the room, catching her breath as she sat on the bottom step to the stairs. |
*ANdriel smiled widely when Lupin said that he will help them* So, what are we gonna to do now? |
Kristi ran after Marcella without looking back at the others. she caught up to her at the bottom of the stairs. "So what do you think? Do you think he'll succeed? He didn't seem to enthusiastic to me," she said, casting a wary glance up the stairs. |
"Well, he wasn't best mate's with Snape so I guess we can count our lucky stars that he agreed to help. But I think he'll be alright, if only for the sake of the order." |
"well i'd say it's looking a little more likely now wouldn't you?"Archie said walking up marcella after thanking Remus. |
"Yeah, I guess we have to be grateful really." she sighed, untying the elastic from around her hair. "But still, the thought of him there, all alone, it doesn't bear thinking of." |
"well he should be out before long"Archie said as he made sure the lock on his trunk was locked . "when are we leaving then "Archie asked. |
Marce glanced over at the grandfather clock that stood by the cloakstand and muttered, "In about half an hour, that's if Moody has done all his security checks. That man is going to give himself a seizure one day, the amount he worries about stuff." |
"oh hang on a sec i forgot my books on trials "Archie said and with that sprinted up the stairs and came back walking slowly carrying a tottering pile of thick old looking leather books "these should help me with the research"He said as he lay them on the floor and opened his trunk which aside from being packed with cauldron robes and phials was mainly packed with more books and a ton of scrolls of parchment most of which had loads of small writing most which was notes. Archie packed the newly brought books in to the trunk and closed it . |
"Are you sure you're gunna be able to haul that lot onto the train?" she asked, not knowing whether to be worried or grateful that he was taking such a central role in the appeal for a man he didn't particularly care for. |
"course "Archie replied and picked it up with one hand "when i bought it it came with a weightless charm " |
Marce laughed at her own stupidity and tapped the space next to her, an indication for him to sit. For a while she remained silent, watching the members of the roder flitting past and hauling their luggage away under invisibility cloaks. She then said, "Arch, you know yesterday?" |
Archie sat next to her "yeah "he said as if asking her to carry on. |
"You wont say anything to anyone, will you? Only, I dont want anyone getting the wrong impression. You understand, right?" she asked, not quite sure why she were asking this question in the first place. |
"what do you mean? all i can remember doing is putting a comforting hand on your shoulder"Archie said |
"I know that and you know that. I just dont want anyone else to get the wrong impression. You get me?" |
"no i won't tell a soul "Archie said smiling as he shook his head and looked into her eyes "hey fancy a butterbeer while we're waiting?"Archie said "i'll go fetch us a bottle each"Archie said as he walked off to the kitchen. |
She nodded her head as he walked off and sat staring at the door. In less than a couple of minutes, she'd be back on her way to Hogwarts. As Archie returned, she pondered, "I wonder who'll be teaching in Severus' place." |
"here you are"Archie said as he handed her her butterbeer bottle Archie took a sip from his. |
"Do you know who's taking his place?" she asked, sure he did as he hadn't answered her the first time round. |
"well to be honest Iam "Archie replied carefully "I'm taking the job "Archie replied and faced the floor. |
She didn't know what to make of this news. Placing a hand on her forehead, she asked, "I dont know why I didn't think of this before." Then, rather suddenly, she asked, "Can I have his room. Only, I dont want to stay in the dorms and well, I'd like to make sure everything's alright when he returns." |
"sure don't see why not"Archie replied |
"Thanks." she replied briefly as she placed her bottle on the bannister and nodded toward Moody who were looking anxiously at her, holding a cloak in his hands. "Guess it's time to go, you ready guys?" |
