Recap:
"Well..." she takes a deep breath. "My father was killed working this experiment, and my mother was not fit to continue it, and I was fifteen, so they saw me fit to carry on where my father failed! I created the idea that you could live forever without the help of The Book of Abraham the Mage; or the Codex (Disclaimer: not mine, read The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel); to create the Elixer of Life. I simply created a potion where one could live forever. However, when the drinker gets murdered, their 'Death Day' starts again. They must set out to stop the murder. I give you, Operation Immortal Rose."

"Yes, but- ohhhh... oh dear... oh dear indeed..." the old man laid his head in his hands.

"What's oh dear?" worry clouded Remus' face.

"Mr Lupin, when you were first sent to take your Wolfsband Potion at the Ministry, you may have accidentally taken the Operation Immortal Rose elixer. But how would he get that? The operation was shut down months before he needed the potion!"

"That's the tricky bit... I believe that Fudge may have kept some-"

"For himself..." Professor Dumbledore finished. "Miss L/N, please show Mr Lupin to your old office in the Ministry."

"Of course Professor..."

*Your Old Office At The Ministry*

You pushed the door open tentatively. Surprisingly, everything was where you left it. Well, not so surprisingly. You had informed the Ministry of your arrival and the situation and they had opened the dingy room back up, probably using magic to get everything back in place. A slightly taller, older boy with long, messy, black hair and large, square glasses scurried out from the dark. Seeing you, his face lights up in joy. He strides over and embraces you in a hug.

"Y/N! I didn't think they were telling the truth when they said you were coming back!" his voice is a deep posh, English accent; like hers.

"What can I say, Elijah? This place draws me to it!" she places her hands on her hips, takes a deep breath and look around.

"And you must be Mr Lupin? Or can I call you Remus?" he asks, shaking his hand as Y/N walks off.

"Remus is fine," he says, the envy cleverly hidden from his voice.

"Elijah? How many biscuits did you eat?!" Y/N calls from a dark corner.

"Erm- too many?" Elijah chuckles.

"These are 2 years old! No one swapped them out after we left!" she pops out from the storage closet, a nearly-empty biscuit tin in her hand. Elijah's face drops  as he realises his mistake.

"Let's get to work..."

*Read in Spongebob voice one (more like ten) hour(s) later*

The unlikely trio sat around the table, Y/N slumped, sleeping on Elijah's arm as he played with her hair and Remus desperately wishing her was Elijah.

"So... are you two... a thing?" Remus and Elijah ask at the same time. "What?! No!!" Remus sighs angrily and Elijah chuckles.

"Sorry there, mate! Seems like I keep going the same way as you!" Elijah states the obvious.

"Uh-huh," Remus slumps back in his chair. "Well done, Captain Obvious!" he mutters.
