Wounds Of A Werwolf
Chapter 1: Mere Memories
Remus Lupin was sprawled across his moth-eaten bed, in the musty room on the top floor of 12 Grimauld Place. Remus was very gratefull to young Harry Potter, he allowed The Order Of The Phoenix to keep using his Dead God-fathers house which Harry had inherrited as its headqauters, a noble task worthy of Harry's dead father. James Potter.
Remus shifted his long, grey hair out of his eyes, he was growing old, he knew that one by one The Marauders were going to be killed off, and with only him and Peter left, and Peter being on Lord Voldemorts side, he was next.
Remus was the only one wise enough, to see The Marauders death coming all along, but his fellows did not believe him, untill it was too late. The Marauders had found out something they shouldn't all along, it was not just because of Harry that the Dark Mark appeared over Godrics Hollow sixteen years ago. It was also because of James.
Remus remembered the nights the young Marauders used to spend in the Shrieking Shack, Once a month, they would go down to The Whomping Willow, not aware that a certain Slytherin Severus Snape was following them. Every month, Severus would find out more and more about the disapearence of The Marauders, and how to follow them, without being beaten to death by a tree.
Eventually, Severus found out all about Remus being a Werewolf, and his friends being Animagi, but he was following them, finding out how to get to The Shrieking Shack for more than that reason.
When he finaly entered The Shrieking Shack for the first time, he met someone he had been looking out for, since his second year, someone who went by the name Of Lord Voldemort.
As Severus entered the shack, he heard voices, the voices of his worst foes.....The Maruaders. They were talking of werewolves and of animals, animagi infact. Then it clicked to Snape the nicknames 'Prongs, Moony, Padfoot, and Wormtail' were nicknames that linked with thier monthly disapearence, thier disapearence every Full Moon.
Remus Lupin was 'Moony' This would link with the word Moon, Werewolf. The rest were Animagi, Illegal Animagi. James Potter was 'Prongs' A Stag, Sirius Black ('Padfoot') would be a dog or wolf. As for young Peter Pettigrew 'Worm-tail' A Worm. They were Illegal Animagi, he ould report them to the Ministry, land them in prison, that would be ultimate revenge.
He Litsened to them chatting.
"How Long, Padfoot?" asked the voice of James Potter, Snape's worst enemy.
"About twenty minutes, before the clouds clear." It was Sirius. Thier was silence for a bit, then the voice of Remus Lupin spoke out.
"Actually about twenty-five, It's November, The Clouds in November clear the Moon at ten fifteen." Snape resisted the urge to call Remus a swot, he was always better that Severus.
Severus kept litsening for twenty minutes, carefully litsening for The voice of Plump Peter Pettigrew. It did not come, he told Severus no lies, The Dark Lord would be in the basement, along with 'Wormtail'. Snape stood up, and headed down the first flight of steps.
When Snape reached The Basement, he saw what he was promised, a circle of headed men, spread around Peter Pettigrew, and a a ghastly white figure, with blood red eyes. Lord Voldemort.
Severus bowed, his greasy nose almost touching the wet, dank floor that he was stood on.
"My Lord, I wish to join you, I wish to aid you in your quest against those to weak to seek power." Severus explained, not showing any signs of fear, unlike Peter.
Voldemort eyed him suspiciously then closed his eyes, and said in a whisper
"I do Believe you are Young Severus Snape?" Severus stood, slightly taken back by the Knowledge of his superior.
"I am." Severus replied.
"Come here." Voldemort demanded, now sounding snake like.
Snape walked down the wet steps, and past the hooded men, and heard the voice of one of them whom he presumed to be Lucious Malfoy mutter.
"Good Luck."
He walked past Pettigrew, who now had the tatoo of a skull with a snake slithering through it, branded on his arm.
As Severus approahed Voldemort, he called for Severus' arm, holding it out Snape winced, what was coming was rumored to be painful.
Voldemort placed his wand on Snapes arm and muttered a few words, and the same skull that was branded on Peter's arm, appeared on Snape's arm.
The pain was unbearable, Severus fell to the floor in agony, and screamed out in pain. The others (except Peter) seemed very relaxed at Snape's pain, they had obviously seen it many times before.
"Your job." Voldemort explained "Is to inform me on the information that happens at school, you when questioned will tell Dumbledore and others that you are acting as a spy, and give them false information, you will meet me here, in two weeks." Suddenly, Voldemort and the Death Eaters disapparated, at the same time that the door swung open.
In came Remus, James and Sirius all with laughter on thier face, except Lupin, who looked rather unwell. Peter had hidden his tattoo,
Snape had not however. James glared at Snape and chuckled wickedly.
Snape looked at them, and they looked at him.
"Keep My secret......I'll keep yours, Unless of course you'd rather meet me in Azkaban." Snape stormed out of the room, and headed back up to the school.
Remus, Sirius, and James knew that Snape was betraying the school, he was a double agent. They had to keep his secret though, or risk thier own. Snape eventually informed The Dark Lord, and he was assured that they would be killed before the end.
This was to happen, and Lupin was aware, he was next on Voldemorts killing list.....
