I do not own this.

AN: This is a series one-shots that take place in one of two universes for the OC Boot Camp Challenge. They either take place in the Reassembly universe or in a universe I am calling Us of Lesser Gods. In the Us of Lesser Gods universe, all of my OCs except for Amy are ten years younger than in Reassembly. Amy is eighteen years younger, and is in the same year as Ginny. Also, this WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Us of Lesser Gods will be a Marriage Law story, and the main pairing will be Hermione/Remus, but this is where the side characters come out to play. Bel is also known as Bryn in the UOLG universe, and has a slightly different personality. I will always tell you what universe a one-shot is in. ONWARD!

FURY (Reassembly)

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had thought that it was nearly impossible to make Everett truly angry. That is, until someone managed to set off Walburga Black's portrait, whose pureblood suprrmacist rantings unleashed a fury-fueled rant in return.

"Shut up, you old bat!" he shouted at the portrait. "Who he HELL are you to run off about purity and such? From what I've seen, you have TWO good kids, and you've thrown it away on account of your so-called purity! Let me tell you something. Blood means absolutely nothing in this world, and you purebloods have nearly inbred yourselves out of existence. So SHUT UP!"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other in the library. "How," Hermione asked, "do you suppose he knew Sirius had a brother?"

"I don't know, but Sirius got really upset when you asked what happened to him. I found him crying in the kitchen, and Mrs. Weasley trying to calm him down," Harry replied. "She finally had to call Jade to calm him down."

"I still feel really bad about that. Kreacher keeps mumbling something about drowning." The ornery old house-elf had, for reasons unknown, taken a shine to the three of them, and would let valuable information slip.

"You couldn't have known how much it would bother him," Harry said. "I get the feeling Dad knows more than he's letting on, but he's not talking." His frown deepened. "It's more like he CAN'T talk about it than he won't."

"Guys," Ron finally broke in. "Why do I get the feeling that we're missing something important here?"

"What's that?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know what," Ron replied. "Just that it's important."
