Against The Law

A secret underground organization known as the Order of the Phoenix gathered at a hidden location of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. The order was designed to help defeat the Dark Lord, Voldemort and his followers. But since after the final battle they still met to discuss the Ministry creation of unnecessary laws.

The Order gathered around a long beaten table that was used for meetings and dinning table. Molly Weasely moved back and forth into the meeting room to the kitchen fixing supper. She saw herself as mother hen. The members held no complaint about a wonderful home cook meal.

Molly was a chubby , redhead woman with brown eyes and always held a cherry smile. She was a mother and a homemaker.

Sirius Black sat at the end of the table leaning back his chair on the back two legs. He looked around the room and winked at his godson, Harry Potter who sat next to his best friend Ron Weasely.

Sirius had shoulder length wavy black hair, tone skin, blue eyes, beard with board shoulders. Harry had messy black short hair, light tone skin, green eyes wore round glasses and had skinny frame, with a lighting bolt scar that had proclaimed him as the Boy-Who-Lived. Ron had flaming red hair, light color skin, brown eyes, freckles and thin body.

"Padfoot I would put your chair down on all four feet before you bust your ass." Remus Lupin told his old childhood friend.

Remus had sandy blonde shaggy hair, light tone skin, amber eyes, thin muscular frame. And he was a werewolf that made him different from his friends.

"I have wonderful balance my friend. You won't see Sirius Black bust his ass."

"Boys language!" screeched Molly as she walked back into the kitchen.

Harry snorted at the scene. His godfather a grown man getting trouble by Mrs. Weasely.

Ron looked around the room and asked, "Where's Hermione?"

Hermione Granger was the best friend of Harry and Ron for the past eight years. She was known as the smartest witch of her age.

"She's out getting a copy Daily Prophet. The Ministry passed unnecessary law." said Arthur Weasely. He had slightly bolding redhead, tone skin, brown eyes, freckles, with thin lean frame. He worked at the Ministry Muggle Artifacts Office.

"I heard it's not very nice law." said Kingsely Shaklebolt. He was a black man with a bold head, brown eyes board muscular body. He worked as an auror for the Ministry.

"What are you saying Kingsely?" Harry asked his fellow auror.

"I'm saying that I've heard rumors around the Ministry Officials that it's targeting someone or something." said Kingsely.

"Will you stop that." Remus told Tonks, who was fussing over his jacket's wrinkles.

Nyphadora Tonks had shoulder purple hair, tone skin, blue eyes, with a thin womanly frame. She worked as an auror.

Sirius chuckled at his friend. Remus shot his fellow Marauder an evil glare. Sirius raised his hands in defeat hoping that he wouldn't stun him.

"See wonderful bla-"

SLAM! CRASH!

Remus chuckled and shook his head. He shrugged Tonks's hand off his shoulder. Hermione ran into the room. She had curly brown hair, tone skin, bright brown eyes, full lips and a slender womanly figure.

Remus stepped back from the table and Hermione laid the paper down on the table.

"Why are you on the floor?" asked Hermione, who noticed Sirius was on his back.

He stood up picked up his chair and sat back down. He leaned his chair back on the two legs with great balance. Hermione shook her head and turned to the Daily Prophet. She opened it and wrinkled her nose at the still damp ink. Remus leaned over her shoulder and "accidentally," rubbed her waist with his right hand and rested it on the right side of the table.

"Sorry." he told her.

"It's all right." Hermione told him with a smile knowing it wasn't an accident. She turned the page of the paper.

"Go back I saw it on page three." Remus said and turned the page.

The Daily Prophet had a bad habit of placing the important information hidden away from sight in hope to place many in Azkaban as possible.

Molly walked into the dinning room and stood near the kitchen door. Tonks stared evilly at "Miss Prefect,"

"A Breed Law!" Remus and Hermione both read out loud in shock.

Sirius sat his chair down on all four legs and lean closer to hear better.

"Attention All Half Breeds Act 454 has been removed from the Ministry. The couples that are wed will be sent to Azkaban for breach of the Ministry." read Remus. "The children born will be taken away from their families and-and- I can't even finish the sentence."

Tonks took the paper from Remus and read, "The children will be executed along with the mother."

"That's barbaric!" gasped Molly in shock. "Thousands have been married! The Ministry can't do this!"

"I fear they can." said Kinsley sadly.

Remus looked at Hermione and saw her face flush. He turned and eased her down in a chair nearby.

"Then it's a good thing we didn't marry Remus." said Tonks, who had dreamed of being Mrs. Lupin.

Remus turned around and stood behind Hermione. He rested his hands gently on her shoulders for comfort. He said, "We were never a couple Tonks. You built up a dream in her head and made yourself believe it."

"What else does the paper say?" asked Harry watching Hermione in concern.

Sirius leaned over and snatched paper from his cousin. His eyes widen in shock. He couldn't believe what was in front of him. He took a deep breath and read out loud, "The-the father has to watch the execution of his wife and child."

Remus's face went white. He ignored his own worry and looked down at Hermione and saw her gasping for air. He walked around the chair and knelt down into front her. He put her head down between her legs. He gently rubbed her back.

"Breathe. Relax. We'll think of something." whispered Remus and Hermione slowly relaxed and her breathing normalized. Remus pulled Hermione into his arms. He gently rocked her side to side whispering words of comfort. She let her tears splash on his white shirt. "It's all right. I won't let anything happen."

Molly broke the uneasy silence, "Remus please tell me that you're not married."

Sirius, Harry, Ginny and Ron looked at the redhead that stood in front of the kitchen door. The trio looked over at the distraught couple and back at the concern mother.

"Remus and Hermione have been married for a year." Harry told the now stunned woman.

Hermione slowly pulled back when she heard the room gasped at the news. She rubbed her cheeks and nodded her head to conform her best friend's information. She protectively placed her hands on her small bump.

"You're pregnant!" said Tonks in shock and slight anger.

Remus head snap in the direction of the auror. He narrowed his amber eyes. He said, "It's none of your concern if I'm expecting a child or not." He looked at the Order and continued, "I'm happily married to a loving smart woman, and I'll do anything to protect my family. Even if I have to go into hiding."

Hermione smiled at her husband despite the trouble that had just now presented itself. A trouble that would change the course of their future and their family.

"We need to find a place to hide them." said Ginny Weasely-Potter. Harry's wife of six months.

She had long red hair, lightly toned skin, freckles, brown eyes and a slender womanly figure.

"I agree with Ginny." said Harry. "But where?"

"I know of a place. But only a few people need to know the better." said Hermione looking around the room.

The Order looked at each other wondering would be Secret Keeper. Who would be trusted with the Lupin's secret. They all watched Remus and Hermione whisper to each other debating who would chosen. Hermione tearfully nodded in agreement.

"Harry, Ginny, Ron and Sirius please leave the room." said Hermione in a cracked voice. "I don't want you arrested by helping criminals."

Ron opened his mouth to protest but Harry motioned to the door. Ron sighed heavily and nodded dully in agreement. Harry helped his wife up from the table. Ginny slowly rose from the table and took his hand and the trio left the room. Soon followed by Sirius. Hermione sighed in relief knowing her friends were safe.

Kingsely walked up to the couple and said, "Anyone caught helping a half breed and their spouse and children will surfer the same fate as the mother. I have not a family or wife to care for like the others."

Remus narrowed his eyes at Tonks and said, "I want Nyphadora out of this room. Right. Now." he growled.

Tonks narrowed her eyes at Hermione and stormed from the room swearing under her breathe. Vowing to get Remus for herself and to get rid of Hermione from the man she loved.

"The rest of you may stay." said Remus looking at the Weasely twins, Molly, Arthur, Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape. "We know that we can trust you if we need you."

Severus snorted at the statement. He couldn't stand the werewolf. He had jet black chin length hair, fair skin, black eyes and slender body.

"Why are you letting me know where the hell you're staying?" hissed the ex-spy and Potions Master of Hogwarts.

"I want you here just in case I need you." said Hermione. "I trust you. I know you're a Medi-Wizard as well."

Severus sighed heavily. "I'll do it for you." he said and looked at Remus, "Not you Lupin. Remus nodded his head.

Remus sat down next to his wife. Hermione moved to her husband's lap. He gently ran his fingers through her hair. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"What place do you have in mind dear?" said Minerva. She had brown hair that was pulled back in a tight bun, light tone skin, brown eyes and curved womanly figure.

"It's a cottage called Spring Cottage. My grandparents would love for us to see them. I haven't been there in awhile. It's in a small muggle community. It's the safest place I can think of." explained Hermione.

"But want they be in danger?" asked Remus concerned for his grandparents-in-laws.

"Muggles shouldn't be effected by the law." said Kingsely. They nodded. "Then it's settled. I'll be your Secret Keeper while Severus will be Hermione's prime medical care giver."

Severus sneered at the group, but Hermione knew different. Severus had turned into a good friend. He cared about her greatly. They had formed a friendship after the war. She had saved his life after Voldemort had his snake attacked him.

"Now, I want you to get your belongings together and spend some time with your friends before we go. We leave in two hours." Kingsely told the couple.

Hermione tearfully nodded her head. She quietly left the room to spend time with her friends. Remus sat back in the chair when Sirius re-entered the room.

Remus and Hermione stood in the middle of the sitting room among their friends. She blinded back the tears.

"Write when you can." whispered Ginny.

Hermione nodded her head. "I will."

"We love you and see you when all this crazy stuff blows over." said Harry and pulled her into his arms.

"Keep your chin up Mione." said Ron and hugged Hermione as well.

Soon followed by the other Weasely family. Molly squeezed Hermione tight and gave her a scarf. Arthur hugged Hermione and kissed her forehead.

"Take care of your family Moony." said Sirius and pulled Remus into a brotherly hugged.

"I will." said Remus and trio left Grimmauld Place for the safety of his family.
