Chapter 16

          Remus woke with an ache in his head so intense it took him a full minute to
realize he was on the floor. He sat up gingerly as he tried to remember what he
had been doing. Glancing around the house, he was looking for anything out of the
ordinary but found nothing except an open window.

          He pulled himself off the floor and made his way to the kitchen for some
coffee. He had the oddest feeling that he had forgotten to do something but
could think of nothing pressing.

          He was brought out of his thoughts by a knock at the door. Opening it, he
found Sirius on the other side.

“Hey Padfoot! Would you like a cup of coffee?” Remus said.

“Padfoot? You haven’t called me that in years. Where did that come from?” Sirius
said.

“I haven’t?” Remus asked, apparently taken aback by this news. “Are you sure?”

          Sirius looked at him like he had suddenly sprouted a second head as he
glanced around the room. He took in his friends ragged appearance and slightly
dazed expression before speaking.

“Are you alright Remus?” He asked with concern.

“Of course. I’m fine. Why do you ask?” Remus inquired.

“You’re just being peculiar today.” Sirius answered.

“Probably just tired. I can’t imagine I slept very well last night.” Remus said.

“Why do you say that?” Sirius asked curiously.

“I woke up on the floor.” He said.

“What were you doing on the floor?” Sirius probed.

“I don’t remember.” Remus said.

“Remus where’s Lika?” Sirius asked in alarm.

“Who?” Remus inquired.

“Lika....Gypsy. You’re girlfriend.” Sirius said in exasperation.

Remus looked at Sirius while he laughed heartily. “Really Padfoot old friend. What
kind of name is Lika Gypsy? Can’t you make up something a little more believable?
Absolutely ludicrous!”

“Remus. I didn’t make her up! She’s your girlfriend. What is your deal? Why
can’t you remember anything?” Sirius asked in distress.

“My head hurts Sirius. I need to sit for a minute.” Remus said as a wave of
dizziness swept over him.

          Sirius followed Remus to the couch and sat down next to him, watching him
carefully. He was trying to add the signs up in his head. Something was definitely
not right with his friend. Suddenly he noticed there were two wands on the floor.
One he recognized as Remus’ and the other he hadn’t seen before. He leaned
forward and picked them both up. He handed Remus his and ran his fingertips over
the extra.

“Thanks.” Remus said.

“Why do you have two wands?” Sirius asked interstedly.

Remus appeared to be thinking hard. He had no idea who’s the second one was.

“I don’t know.” Remus answered, he was beginning to get a little worried himself.
He felt a void in himself, like something was missing.

“Remus, I think we need to go see Dumbledore.” Sirius said forcefully as the signs
began to make sense.

“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no need to go see Dumbledore.” Remus said
insistently.

“Remus, I think you’re memory has been tampered with and only Dumbledore will be
able to fix you up. You’re going even if I have to drag you there. Now get up, we’re
going to Hogwarts.” Sirius said as he stood and stared him down, daring him to
refuse.

“Sirius....now really.” Remus said as he rose.

Sirius took his wand from his pocket and said “Stupefy!” He caught Remus as the
spell knocked him out. He flipped him over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes
and with a crack Sirius Disapparated.

          Lika woke that morning surprisingly refreshed but it was very short lived as
the previous nights events came rushing back to her. She really was in trouble
now. After Malfoy’s memory charm Remus would no longer remember her. Her
already shattered heart died a little more at the thought. No one else would
notice she was missing until it was too late. Since they were on Christmas break
the staff wouldn’t catch she was gone and she hadn’t made any friends outside of
school.

          She looked around the room, taking in what she missed last night. The room
was almost as big as her whole house. It had a sofa and chair with a bookcase full
of books set off in the corner, the bed itself, and a huge dresser. Off to the
other side she saw another door. She got up to investigate and saw it was a
bathroom. A very lavish bathroom at that. She marveled at the sheer size of the
bath tub. That thing could be a swimming pool, she thought in amazement.

          A jostling noise behind her caught her attention and she started at the form
coming toward her. She gave a small noise of surprise and backed up before
realizing it was a house-elf.

“Beggin your pardon miss, I didn’t mean to startle you.” Squeaked the elf.

“Oh no, you didn’t. I mean yes you did but...never mind.” Lika said.

“Is you wantin a bath miss? Winnie can draw you up a bath.” said the elf but not
waiting for a reply, began fussing over the tub.

“Umm...sure.” Lika answered. A bath might be quite nice actually, she thought.

          When the elf was done Lika was presented with perhaps the most glorious
bath she’d ever seen. Bubbles were almost pouring out of the tub and they smelled
so good, she had also added rose petals to the water. Winnie had lit all the candles
in the room before she had bowed lowly and left her alone.

          Lika removed her clothes and stepped into the huge tub. Sinking into the
water she rested her head on the back wall as she thought with distaste about
having to put on her dirty clothes again, or maybe not.

“Miss? Winnie’s going to take your clothes and clean them.” the elf said as she
stuck her head back in the room.

“Thank you Winnie. I would appreciate it.” Lika said with a small sigh of relief.

“Your welcome miss. Master is here to talk to you.” Winnie said before she
disappeared again.

“Master?” Lika questioned the empty room.

“I am the master of the house my dear.” Came Lucius’ cold voice.

“How dare you! Get out of here.” Lika cried indignantly.

“Oh do not be so dramatic. I cannot see anything.” He said shrewdly. “Although I
do have a good memory.”

Lika blushed hotly at his admission, realizing he must have seen her and Remus in
some very intense situations. She cursed him for spying on them.

“I must say you two really do go at it anywhere.” He added.

“What do you want Malfoy?” She said through her embarrassment and anger.

“Have you come to a decision yet?” Malfoy said contemptuously.

“I refuse to help you. The sooner you realize that, the better we’ll be.” She said
stubbornly.

“You are too tenacious for your own good, my dear. Very well. You have four days.
I suggest you use them wisely. If not, it could be....detrimental. The elf is going to
be bringing you some more clothes today.” He said as he rose to leave.

“Malfoy.” She said just as he reached the door. He turned to look at her.

“Why don’t you just use Veritaserum on me?”

“Now, where would the challenge be in that?” He said smiling malevolently as he
turned to leave again.

“Merlin, I hate you.” She said to no one. She wanted nothing more to than to cry
but she was all tapped out. She had no tears left in her.
