I'm going to go get Remus.

Sirius, Lily, Peter. Stay here with Harry. I won't be gone long and the people here need as many people from our world to help them as they can. I'll be back soon with Remus in tow. We can't just leave him out there.

As for everyone else - try to stick together and think happy thoughts and eat chocolate. Really. It'll help a bit, I promise.

I'm going, too. Don't try to stop me.

lol at least it's not a "no."?

Harry...

...Your mother is going to be furious with me, you know.

[needshaircut.livejournal.com]

If she's mad at anyone, she can be mad at me.

I've almost got the charm down. I can do this.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that when she's scolding us both later!

Right. In that case we'd better get going. Remus is out in the forest somewhere, and there's a lot of area to cover.

[needshaircut.livejournal.com]

Right, then. Brooms?

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

[Harry stands by the door to exit the kitchen, more than ready to leave. He doesn't look in the least afraid, wand in one hand and broom in the other, expression set with reckless determination.

It makes him look incredibly Gryffindorish.] Let's go.

Not that I'm turning down advice, but... how can chocolate help at a time like this?

[Action!]

[James is right beside him, similarly armed. He's looking fairly determined himself. He always is when it comes to matters like these. There's a twinge of pride, however, when he sees Harry looking similarly. He can almost see a bit of himself there.]

Right. Remus is waiting. [Then, only offering a general wave of goodbye to anyone else still in the kitchen, he leads the way to the front door.]

There's something in chocolate that helps people recover from being near those things. It's sort of like medicine in that sense.

[cockofthewok.livejournal.com]

I'm going with you.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

No, you're not.

Someone has to stay here and look out for everyone else. Who's going to take care of things if we're all out in the woods looking for Remus?

[cockofthewok.livejournal.com]

It's Remus, how can I not go after him?

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I know it's hard, but you've got to stay here. Remember why he ran off alone in the first place? He wanted us to be here to protect everyone.

If you come too, that just leaves Lily and Wormtail here. Come on, Sirius. You've got to stay here and help keep everyone safe.

[cockofthewok.livejournal.com]

Shit. I hate it when you're right.

[keyofflowers.livejournal.com]

I wonder why... Thanks, though. I'll be sure to find some and keep it handy.

[Once they're out, Harry doesn't waste any time in mounting his broom, teetering a little at first from unfamiliarity but getting comfortable quickly.

The encroaching coldness and misery of the Dementors, already converging fast toward them, is easier to bear now that he's in the air. There's only good memories about flying, only the feeling of freedom and happiness, the knowledge that he's good at it and safe. It's an illusion, perhaps, but one that he holds onto as they set off. He grips his wand tightly in his right hand.]

[Action!]

[James is quick to mount and follow him, taking to the broom as though it's an extra limb. He's always been talented at flying - not in the same ways as Harry, the natural seeker, but still worthy of praise himself.

It's almost a shame. If the circumstances weren't so dire, it would be an excellent bonding activity.

He has his wand ready, for when they'll inevitably have to face the creatures again. For the time being, they seem safe though, and the forest is creeping closer as the mansion moves further away.]
