The Second War to Last a Lifetime
Summary: Vanessa Johnson is happy with her life. She is engaged to her true love, she loves her job, has many great friends, both young and old, and can even laugh even though the times are bad. But when something happens and she and a friend are captured and tortured for information regarding the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic it turns her world upside down. Can she stay strong or will she be broken? Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize from the books. Vanessa is mine however.
Chapter One- Captured A woman in her late thirties looks in the mirror at her reflection.
Remus had told her she was going to a popular dance club in Hogsmede. She would need to look younger.
She closed her eyes and though hard on straight, shoulder-length blond hair, dark blue eyes, fine eyebrows, and full lips.
She opened her eyes and smiled. "Perfect," she thought. She quickly changed into her knee length black dress and then quickly wrote:
Remus,
I am leaving now. I will apparate to the club and meet with Tonks. Don't send the squad in like you did last time. I'll be fine. Harry will be there, undercover.
I love you.
Yours truly,
Vanessa
She sent the letter with her barn owl, Romulus, and looked her disguise over once more.
She then apparated to the club and looked around with sharp eyes. Tonks appeared beside Vanessa.
"Wotcher, Vanessa," she said. Her hair was long and black with dark blue streaks. Her eyes were black, her nose, small and delicate-looking, and her lips thin. She wore a short skirt that went several inches above the knee, a transparent white shirt with a dark blue undershirt. Her feet looked tortured in thin-strapped heels. "Remus told me to tell you that if you died he would never forgive you." She smiled. "Has he popped the question yet?"
Vanessa grinned. The previous night, over dinner, Remus had asked her to be his wife. She smiled at Tonks and nodded.
"I'm so happy for you. You two are perfect for each other."
"Yes, I know. That's why I agreed to marry him. We'll talk more later, but right now we have to keep an I on Harry. If something goes amiss, as it always does when Harry's on the case, we have to be ready." She looked around, scanning the club for Harry or Hermione, also an auror and an MBI. Hermione was an Animagus and her Animagi form was a Birman Seal Point cat.
Vanessa spotted a group of people at by the bar and to the right of the group was a man in a Weird Sister's t-shirt, black muggle-brand jeans. He had black hair that was slicked back, but Vanessa knew who it was, even without his hair messy and glasses on his face. She nudged Tonks and pointed at the man. Tonks followed the trail of her finger, saw Harry, and nodded.
"Now, we just have to keep a keen eye on him," Tonks said.
"Knowing Harry," Vanessa said, sitting down at a vacant table, Tonks doing the same, "we better make it two."
Tonks laughed.
Vanessa looked around and noticed the witch who had spotted them. She knew the woman was looking around too much to just be there to have fun.
"Tonks, come on," she said. Tonks looked where Vanessa did, saw the woman, and nodded.
The two of them crossed over to a pair of guys, whom they thought they didn't know, and tapped them.
They turned around and Vanessa and Tonks gasped to see Lupin and Snape.
"I told you not to come," Vanessa said, but smiled at her fiancé. Remus grinned and shook his head.
"Yes, but you should know me well enough to know I wouldn't just stay out of it."
"And why are you here, Severus," Tonks asked Snape.
"Watch how you talk to me, Nymphadora," Snape said and Tonks winced. "I am older than you by ten years. Besides, that death eater over there has already spotted out you two and Granger."
"Stuff it, Snape," a woman behind the two men said. It was Hermione and she was wearing a light blue skirt and white top and her hair was curly, but manageable. She looked quite pretty. "Nicely put, Hermione," said a voice from behind. Hermione and the rest whipped around to see Ginny Weasley.
"Ginny," Hermione said. "What are you doing here?" "My dad sent me," Ginny began but just then a man stood on the bar and pointed his wand at the ceiling. A green light shot up and the Dark Mark floated weirdly above the bar. Hermione, Vanessa, and Tonks took out there wands and made there way to the bar but two men grabbed both Vanessa and Tonks. "Vanessa," Remus shouted. "Tonks," Snape yelled. The two of them forwarded on the men, but the two and the death eater on the bar apparated.
