You're Who's Sister?!

Sixteen Again

Now that Shiyloh was asleep, Remus carried her small form up to Daedalos office. The group had stayed quiet for most of the walk, all of them glancing over to the baby on occasions.

"Pygmy Puffs" Lily said quietly once they reached the entrance and the gargoyle jumped up and started moving.

They walked up the stairs case and knocked on Daedalos' office door.

"Come in"

They walked in and saw Professor Daedalos, Professor Morgan, Professor Webster and Madam Beatrix. All of which had been gathered there to help with the transformation.

"Ah, Remus, Lily, Jasper, Elliott, come in. We were just preparing the potion" Daedalos greeted them solemnly.

"How does this work?" Remus asked worriedly. "Is she going to feel anything?"

"Shiyloh will feel nothing, I've made sure of that. Wouldn't want one of my favourite students to be injured would we?" Webster chuckled as he stood over a boiling cauldron.

The group glanced at each other "It's for Shiyloh. She wouldn't want to be a baby forever, relive her life" Lily pointed out.

"Do we have to change her back? I mean, Are you sure that it's a bad thing that she's a baby? She can't sass us, or hit me" Elliott said somewhat wistfully.

Lily turned to Remus and Jasper.

"Someone hit him" She said to them as she walked to Professor Webster.

Jasper reached out a hand and slapped Elliott upside the head

"Done and Done" Jasper said as he brushed the imaginary dirt off his hands.

"Alright, Mister Lawrence, if you would please bring Shiyloh forwards"

Remus shakily walked forwards, holding sleeping, baby Shiyloh to his chest.

"I want you to put her into the cauldron" Webster told him.

"Are you insane?!" Remus shouted, looking at the boiling contents in the cauldron, subconsciously moving away from it.

"If you want this to work, Mister Lawrence, you'll have to trust me, Shiyloh won't be hurt" Webster insisted.

Remus bit his lip, looking down at the bubbling liquid and after a moment, he put the sleeping girl into the Cauldron. She didn't wake or even stir, she just relaxed in the contents, like it was a warm bath.

"Now, Miss Hart. You know the spell" Professor Morgan said.

Lily took a deep breath and pointed her wand at Shiyloh. Jasper and Remus physically tensed.

"Mutationem" Lily spoke quietly, moving her wand in a series of fluid movements.

For a moment, nothing happened and they thought they would have to start all over again. But then the cauldron began to boil harder, rumbling and shaking with jerky movements. Baby Shiyloh began to cry loudly, her cries escalating into screams that sounded pain filled.

“What's happening to her?” Remus demanded. His hands were shaking and he was one second away from pulling her out of the cauldron.

“I can assure you, this is completely normal.” Webster didn't sound so sure of his words.

Madam Beatrix took steps forwards and tipped a vile of light blue liquid into Shiyloh's open mouth, turning her screams into gurgling noises as her body began to convulse.

“Professor there's something wrong!” Jasper cried.

Daedalos didn't do anything. He stood silently, watching as the girl's cried began to get quiet and her body stilled.

This wasn't any better than the screaming fits, in fact, she almost looked dead.

There was a blinding flash of light, as bright as the sun, but when it cleared, the cauldron had disappeared and there stood Shiyloh. Jasper felt his jaw hit the floor when he found himself able to see clearly again.

She was dressed in a dark blue and black patterned dress and leather boots, her long red hair was tousled, but still beautiful. She looked exactly as she had the day they'd gotten on the train, back to the way she should be.

"Shithead!" She exclaimed, looking at Elliott.

"I thought you said she wasn't going to remember anything?" Elliott groaned.

"Remember what?" Shiyloh asked us, her eyebrows pulling together.

"It's a long story" Remus said, letting out a breath of relief.

He stepped forwards and pulled Shiyloh into a tight hug, which she accepted, although she felt somewhat confused.

"Well big brother, it's one you'll have to tell at some point. Hey Lily? I had a dream that you painted my nails black and white, they looked really cute, could you try that?" Shiyloh asked Lily as Remus pulled away.

Lily smiled and nodded, before running to her best friend and hugging her close. Shiyloh smiled and hugged her back. If there was one thing Shiyloh knew she liked, it was hugs.

One by one, all of Shiyloh's friends hugged her, saying how much they missed her. But what they didn't know, was Shiyloh remembered everything.

And she was definitely going to get Elliott back for loosing her.
