Worthless the Forgotten One and the Prisoner of Azkaban

A talk with Remus

It's been months since we've been at Hogwarts and now the first Hogsmeade trip has arrived and I don't have a signed permission slip which I was sad about due to I wouldn't be able to go but my friends have told me to ask McGonagall and maybe, just maybe she'd sign it. It was a long shot but it couldn't hurt to try.

As the clock ticked the other students were ready to go who was in third year or older and Filch was there.

"Now. Remember! These visits to Hogsmeade Village are a privilege. Should your behavior reflect poorly on the school in any way, that privilege shall not be extended again." Minerva said and I approached her, but before I could utter a syllable:

"No permission form. No visiting the Village. That's the rule, Worthless." McGonagall said to her. Minerva felt a twinge in her chest that the girl couldn't go but she had no permission form signed.

"Those with permission, follow me. Those without stay put." Filch said and I sighed.

"Yes, but professor, I thought if you signed it, then I could go-" I tried to convince her to get me out of this castle and be able to explore. I couldn't leave the grounds of the castle, I couldn't leave the Dursleys...I couldn't go anywhere and it was driving me insane.

"But I can't. Only a parent or guardian must sign. And since I am neither, it would be inappropriate." Minerva said and started to walk when she turned with a flicker of pity in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Worthless. But that's my final word." Minerva said placing a hand on her shoulder. She then walked off.

Yeah parent or guardian I don't have any legal! Lily Potter made sure of that didn't she! I felt the sorrow as tears pricked my eyes but I wouldn't allow them to fall. I heard Potter and his friends snickering and pointing at me taking the mick that I couldn't go. It hurt.

Draco and Hermione was watching Worthless expectantly from across the courtyard but I turned and looked to them. "Forget about it, guys. See you later." I said and Neville was at the side of me as Draco and Hermione left. "Why aren't you going, Nev?" I asked him because he had a signed permission slip.

"I'm not going due to the Dementors. I don't want to keep relieving and passing out when facing them." Neville said and I nodded in understanding. "And besides, I can't leave you here alone. Especially when someone is in your chambers." Neville said and smirked and I chuckled at that, he was a good friend and then we walked off.

"Let's go bother Severus." I said with a smirk and Neville snickered and we walked to potions knocking on the door then entering and Severus saw the two and we sat down, and we looked bored. Severus looked to the two.

"Why aren't you both at Hogsmeade?" Severus asked. The two should be at Hogsmeade due to it was third years and above.

"Dursleys didn't sign my form. Your mother wouldn't sign it." I said sighing. "And I'm so bored." I informed and Severus felt his heart pained. Bloody Dursleys. Severus thought with a sneer.

"I'm not going due to the Dementors and I wouldn't leave her." Neville said and Severus sighed as he had a flicker of sadness within the eyes.

In Worthless's chambers Sirius heard this and he didn't want Worth to miss out because she hasn't got real guardians or a parent to sign her form, and she couldn't go. He really hated James and Lily for this.

.....

Later on me and Neville decided to leave Severus and go and find Remus in which we decided to go for a walk and I brought Sirius along due to he needed the fresh air, and it has brought us to the bridge.

"Remus, can I ask you something?" I asked him and a questions been bothering me for some time now. Sirius was next to me and I knew Remus kept eyeing him from time to time.

"You want to know why I stopped you facing that boggart, yes?" Remus said and I looked to him surprised. "I should think it'd be obvious. I assumed the Boggart would take the shape of Lord Voldemort." I frowned at that and Remus looked to her curiously but Neville looked to her as Sirius tilted his head wondering what she thought of. "But clearly... I was wrong." Remus informed and Worth sighed. "What were you thinking?"

"I did think of Voldemort at first. But I never really feared him he's just someone who just irritates me. But then I started to think on my past..." I sighed. "My Father was one thought but then it flickered to the Potters and then Vernon. Then I remembered that night on the train and the Dementor." I said to him as Remus looked curiously. So why did it show Dumbledore and McGonagall?

"Well, well. I'm impressed. That suggests that what you fear the most is fear itself. This is very wise." Remus informed him. "And what did you fear Neville?"

"I think it would have been the same. My previous fear was Professor Snape but Worth vanished that fear almost instantly." Neville said and I chuckled.

"Before I fainted... I heard something. I heard someone. Screaming." I said and Remus flickered with sadness. Remus wondered what she heard? What bad memory did she relive?

"And before I fainted...I heard something as well. I heard my parents. Screaming." Neville added and Sirius whimpered and went against Worth who patted him. Sirius knew who Neville heard it was Alice and Frank.

"Dementors force us to relive the worst memories of our lives. Our pain becomes their power." Remus informed the two. He knew that Worth had the worse memories of all.

"I think it was myself. The night I screamed in pain when Lily turned me blind. The night I felt truly helpless and alone. But then I remembered the night Voldemort came." I said to that one.

Sirius was stunned in his dog form. He felt guilty that he was with Worth due to the Dementors kept making her reliving those nights but she still kept him close anyways she didn't care about her wellbeing she cared more about him. Remus though was shocked that she remembered such a night.

Remus looked to Worth and then to the distance and I looked to him. "The first time I met you, Worth, you didn't look like your mother. You don't even have her eyes. But when I saw you I knew you were special. I might have known both Lily and James but when fame got to their heads they changed. I knew that Lily and James were going to use you and I didn't want to be apart of that, we cared for you for being you. You didn't deserve anything you got. Not only though are you a singular gifted witch but an uncommonly unkind person you have a way of seeing the beauty in whoever you met, even and perhaps most especially when that person couldn't see it in themselves." Remus said to her as he was on the opposite side of the bridge. He didn't see the beauty in himself with being a werewolf a monster but she saw the beauty in him...she saw him as a friend not to be feared a kind man.

"Which also brings to your affection for Severus in which you find in some sort of sibling way. And which also perhaps explains your affection for Moody. You though shall I say, have a certain talent for trouble. A talent in which I believe your father placed on you." Remus said and Neville snickered and Sirius was grinning in his dog form. I took his words in though it was true I had trouble come to me I didn't go looking for it...except when I most needed to.

"And I have heard you as well Neville have got the talent from your father as well. Your kind like your mother never easily angered...unless of course someone is bullying. Your mother didn't exactly take kind to bullies in school." Remus said and Neville smiled and Remus looked to the two and I smiled vaguely. "You Neville are more like them than you know. Worth, your a very special person indeed." Remus said and I petted Sirius as we watched the scenery with smiles but how can anyone think I'm a special person? I didn't believe that but Remus did.
