The Grave yard

[Pandora Gryffindor]

She walked past the Hogshead briskfully..her robes bellowing in the wind, her hood pulled tightly over her head.

Finally she was past the town and walking down the dark road toward the Shreaking Shack. The grave yard was on the left... she turned and walked up the path.

"Lumos", she spoke allowed..but quietly. Her hands were shaking as she held the wand out in front of her.

The headstones were pale in the moonlight. Owls hooted around her. She payed no mind, as she walked through the rolls of headstones until she reached Remus's and Tonks headstones. Side by side they sat.

"Are you here Remus", she asked into the darkness?

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus was behind her and placed a ice cold hand on her shoulder ".. do you have the stone?" he asked her, wondering if he was going to come back here, that night, or would have to wait a little longer.
"Just pretend you don't know this grave, as I am here talking to you, right behind you.." he didn;t want her to look back at him, wanting her just just listen to his voice

[Pandora Gryffindor]

She shuddered slightly. "You scared me, she laughed putting her hand to her chest.

"Hunter is bringing the stone later. Okay, I won't look back."

She was glad he couldn't see her face. Or the wetness in her eyes, from looking at his and Tonks headstones. It brought back so many painful memories.

She conjured a lantern, bending down she lit it using her wand. Then sat it on the ground beside where she would be digging.

"You ready for this", she asked before conjuring the shovels to dig?

[Remus John Lupin]

"Yes, well anything seems better than how I am now." He said watching her, wishing he could do it instead of her. "I am sure whatever happens, it can be improved and helped so I will be more myself, it might be like a little knock to the head for a little while. more than likely wear off.."just wish Tonks could come back too.."

[Pandora Gryffindor]

"Yeah", she sniffed.."I wish she could too."

"Accio two shovels", she said grimacing a bit. She then charmed them to dig without her assistance.

She looked up to the moon and glanced in the direction of the Shreaking Shack.. and sighed.

"If Tonks is out there somewhere..like you were. We won't let her suffer either Remus. We will bring her back, if she wishes to be brought back. We just don't know, if she was held back or not, like you were", she said frustrated...that they didn't know.

[Remus John Lupin]

"If she is.. then I am sure at some point soon, we will know.. took me sometime to get the strength to be here now, but she is strong and smart"

He walked Pandora working and looked around now and then and waited for Hunter to come, hoping he could help her and could have brought the stone. ".. where is he at the moment?"

[Pandora Gryffindor]

"At the ministry, I think. He shouldn't be to much longer."
Suddenly four wolves came toward her. They had snuck up on her while she talked to Remus's ghost. The wolves were barring their teeth and growling. She kept her wits about her, not moving in the slightest. Knowing they would love nothing more than to give chase. "Should I conjure food for them, or stupify them", she asked remus?

[Remus John Lupin]

"Stupify them.. if you give them food, they will just come back for more, and they will be more aggressive.." he said wanting to help even more now, but all he could do was spook them for a little and they might well very come back not long after leaving.

He stood by Pandora, ready encase he was needed even if it was to just scare them away for a few minutes, just to give her more time.

[Pandora Gryffindor]

She did as Remus instructed. Without hesitation..she flicked her wand four times, stupifying the wolves. She then summoned them to together and banished them back into the forest. She turned and grinned at Remus. "It's been awhile since I've had to fight. But I haven't lost my touch", she laughed putting her wand away.

The shovels had dug a deep hole now. She knew it wouldn't be long before she would have to levitate the casket.

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus didn't want to say anything that might take away her good mood, by saying like "It was only wolves..they have no wands to stand much of a chance" Remus just smiled back and looked back to the other shovel and concentrated before walking over it, infront of Pandora. He jumped down and took hold of the shovel and started to help. His image looking near enough solid ".. have to be there soon..." he said looking up towards the pit top and to the stars above.

[Pandora Gryffindor]

"Yes..thats what i was thinking. Then one of the shovels hit something. A clank could be heard. 'Well speaking of", she smiled.

"I guess it's time to levitate it up now" She hadn't seen his coffin since the day of his funeral. She tried to not look nervous about bringing it up.

"Getting closer to being human again Remus", she smiled to him. "Hunter better hurry up", she said looking behind her for any evidence of him coming.

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus used what energy he had to help bring it up. His image faded once it was up and on the grass. ".. seems a lot lighter than I expected." he said looking back to Pandora ".. all skin and bones.. but I hope I don't stay like that.." he said biting his ghostly lip before trying to open the lid of the casket.

[Pandora Gryffindor]

She grimaced at the thought of him being only skin and bones. "I think the stone will restore you just the way you were..before..", she broke off, not wanting to say died.

"Are you sure you want to open it..I mean just yet", she asked nervously? Wondering how either of their reactions would be, to seeing his body.

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus looked over to her and he was about to pull the lid off, but his fingers came straight through it, running out of physical presence. "..Just wanted to know what I was dealing with." he said looking back down.

Remus thought about it, how the stone might work, as he was guessing after fifteen years.. there would be no flesh, He wondered if he would feel younger and new, or just the same or worse.

[Pandora Gryffindor]

She frowned..."I'll get the lid off Remus. Save your streangth." She put her hands on the lid edges and lfted. It didn't budge. "Must be stuck", she said standing back thinking, of ways to open the lid.

[Remus John Lupin]

"Use your wand Pandora.. If not, break it in.." he said standing back a little to give her more space. He looked around now and then waited for Hunter to come and to make sure there are no unwanted intruders.

[Hunter Niall]

Hunter finally arrived the stone wrapped in a silk piece of deep purple material, and was embedded in his pocket, he made his way through the near by small alleyways, until he reaced the graveyard, his own family, his father mainly was buried here, he came into the clearing and saw Pandora and Remus the slowly fadign Remus he hurried over toward them "Sorry, the new minister choose that moment for an update" he said then carefully reached in his pocket and pulled out the neatly wrapped stone dropping both material and stone then into Pandoras hand he looked to Remus briefly Hunter wouldn't be doing the actual spell, although he had said if it was absoultly needed.

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus looked for Hunter as he appeared and watched him give the stone to her "Hunter you should know what to do.. even I know, well I heard how to use it... " He looked to Pandora and used the rest of his energy to take hold of the stone, then Remus was gone...

The Coffin glowed around the edges of the lid and slowly faded away.

Inside the skeleton started to form into Remus Lupin's old self, but only there wasn't any scars and he looked younger.

[Hunter Niall]

Hunter stood beside Pandora and replied to nothingness "yes I do, but i can't" he stated, he only knew what to do, becasue of his privious studies, in Wicca it was a topic he had to learn the good and bad, and there was far more bad to ressurection then there was good, he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck debating on what to do, then he looked to Pandora, he guessed it was probably harder for her then him, he sighed again and with reluctance he pulled open the coffin brushing of dirt before hand then stood back and watched as the organs then flesh the features took form, it was not the most abstract slow motion filming he had seen

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus's body was soon formed and looking better than ever, there was no scars on his body, his skin was smooth and he looked young and healthy.

After a few moments he opened his bright blue eyes and looked up towards the nights sky, he then saw someone above him, he looked back to the moon and shivered. He just had torn rags over him.

[Hunter Niall]

Hunter bite his lip, perhaps they should of brought Remus out of his coffin first, he felt imidatly bad, at this bringing someone back, no matter who this someone was, he didn't look to Pandora or really to remus, he took of his Jacket and held it out towards the unreconisble being of Remus

[Remus John Lupin]

He looked a little dopey from coming back but would adjust at some point.
He slowly sat up and looked up to the jacket. Remus put his hand out and took it before sniffing it and then placing it over his shoulders, putting his arms in it, and feeling a little warmer.

He stood up, swaying slightly. He looked from Hunter to Pandora and then to Hunter again.".. where are we? and what are you doing here?"

[Hunter Niall]

Hunter sighed again "were a little way away from Hogsmede, and where here to wake you up" he frowned alittle "what do you remeber, do you remember me? and my wife?" he asked gesturing to Pandora beside him

[Remus John Lupin]

Remus looked back to Pandora and sniffed again a little before doing the same to Hunter ".. no, but you smell, different... sweat, very strong..."

Remus then looked over to the small village through the trees. He then looked to the forest.

[Hunter Niall]

"it's been a while thats all" he stated "come, i think we should head home, back to our home, you can have a bath and maybe eat something?" he offered and stepped closer to Remus and held out his hand offering to help him up
