Summary: Remus wakes up somewhere other than his bed.
Status: Complete

Remus slowly started to surface aware on some level that something was wrong. He couldn’t imagine what that was given it was summer holidays and he didn’t have to get up any time soon. In fact the part of his brain that was awake and was feeling distinctly lazy was strongly suggesting he just go back to sleep until, say, noon. Of course, the more responsible part of his brain was appalled at the very idea and demanding he get up and do something useful. The common sense part of his brain was rather dryly pointing out that the full moon was close and he ought to get all the sleep he could before he really woke up and got cranky. And there was a tiny, half-asleep part of his brain that was suggesting that having all these voices talking in his head really wasn’t a good sign.

But it was when he rolled over that he really realised that something was terribly wrong. Because it felt like he’d just rolled over on cold stone and not his nice comfortable bed.

Remus’ eyes flew open and he was very quickly able to confirm that he was indeed lying on a cold stone floor. He scrambled to his feet and looked around wildly before realising that he was at Hogwarts. In one of the upper corridors that he’d walked along so many times, usually with James, Sirius and Peter.

He also realised that he was wearing nothing but a pair of pyjama bottoms and he started to blush furiously and hitch them up on one side so they covered the silvery bite scar on his right hip. Just because he’d finally gotten used to it enough to let it show at home didn’t mean he wanted anyone else to see it, especially someone at Hogwarts.

He swallowed and looked around. “Hello? Is anybody here?”

This had to be some kind of prank on the part of James and Sirius. If it was, he was going to yell at them first then ask how the hell they did it.

That was weird to consider - that he'd taught James' son. Almost as weird as thinking about James having a son in the first place. At least he didn't have to worry about that sort of thing.

"Good," he said with relief. He definitely wanted to have someone around that he knew and if they had years and years to make up, well, they'd be in the same class, wouldn't they? They wouldn't just throw them straight back into their proper years?

"I guess you're right," he said with a quick grin that definitely showed off the Marauder in him. "They wouldn't have moved the owlery."

He nodded; that made sense. He wasn't twitchy enough for it to be tonight but he was twitchy enough to know it was very soon. He shifted uncomfortably about having to take charity from someone else but... did he really have a choice? He didn't like taking other people's money but he wasn't going to be stupid either.

"Okay, shopping sounds good. I guess I needs books and stuff as well." He looked around uncertainly. "Um, so what now?"

"Now ... you should rest 'ere a bit, recover. Think up any questions or ... per'aps write a letter to Mr Black. I will 'ave to go inform the 'eadmaster and the Aurors on patrol and then you will be in their 'ands. I ... see no reason you can't simply stay 'ere until school starts. Get set up in your dorm and what 'ave you.

"We can arrange for someone to take you shopping unless you're comfortable to do so on your own. One of the professors wouldn't mind, I'm sure. That though can wait until ... you're comfortable. Settled."

She looked thoughtful. "Per'aps even they may arrange for you and Mr Black to go together. I imagine 'e will need books as well." Ashley smiled gently to Remus. She really did feel for him - for all of them who came back so far displaced. It was a sort of cruel trick, this returning to life magic. "Do you need anything else right now? Something to eat, to drink?"

Remus couldn't really find anything to argue with about that. He wasn't really comfortable with the idea of roaming around Hogwarts in his pyjamas and he'd probably be better off resting since the full moon was close.

"Okay," he said, pulling himself up onto the bed he was sitting on properly. "Um, could I have some parchment and a quill? So I can write to Sirius."

He grinned at the idea of going shopping with Sirius. It'd probably be a disaster but it'd be fun too. He'd have to make sure they went to get their books and supplies and uniforms first before going anywhere else.

"Um, breakfast? Please?" he said, looking hopeful and with any luck a bit like a puppy. His stomach growled its approval of the suggestion.

Ashley nodded, retrieving a few sheets of her stationery, a quill and ink. She set those on the table beside him.

"I will 'ave one of the elves bring you up something while I'm out," she promised. She, after all, had a lot of people to track down, and she'd have to check with Faustus on the status of the potion and to let him know there'd likely be two wolves on the grounds. And then she'd have to get in touch with Tristan, or have Filius do that so it was more ... official.

Then ... he'd be in the Ministry's hands.

Offering Remus a smile, she left him to get started on his letter while she got the balls rolling in the 'another's come back' process.
