So, last chapter I said i that I wouldn't know when I be able to update next. that was mostly because I haven't written out the latest chapter until last night. After I posted last chapter, I reread it several times and inspiration hit me. I knew how to further the plot. I spent part of last night and most of today writing this. I hate mistakes so I tried to be aware of then as I make them as reread the sentence.
I know today is April Fool's day but this chapter is not a joke. I was suppose to post one for The Girl with the Blue Hair but decided against that as its sequel has a major story arc revolving around that day. i would like to thank you for your support, your favorites and follows was the highlight of my day
Before we dive right into the story, I have an announcement. It's not bad I assure you but might be excited about. This story has a lot of Ocs in it and i just don't have the imagination to make so many. If you have an idea for an OC then please comment or PM me. At the bottom there will be some guidelines for several OCs, please make sure to read those before sending in your OC.
Also, you don't have to read this part if you don't want but i recent lost a friend because of this story. She is a die hard Harry Potter fan but for reasons unknown to me, she hates fanfiction. I had let her use my phone which I use to keep backup files for all my documents and read this. She yelled at me that it was all wrong that I'm not being true to canon. I know there are some people on this site that would complain to authors about them not sticking to canon and really, this is FANfiction, we can write whatever we goddamn please. I ended that friendship. Ironically, Harry Potter brought us together and now its tearing us apart. If your one of those people, why you on here?
Enough of me ranting, go read.

Melody hurried to her destination. The woman she was about to see disliked tardiness and Melody was not about to set that woman's ire onto her.
Magical America were one of the few countries in world that actually work side by side with their non-magical counterparts. Although the president and magical one don't really get along all that often, especially since the magical president is a woman this term.
Mr President learned early in his term that Madam President was not a woman to be trifle with.
Melody stood tall, shoulders straight. Steeling her nerves, she swiftly knocked three times.
"Come in."
"Good Afternoon, Madam President."
"You're late Rogers."
Melody flinched at the tone.
"Apologies, Madam President. I just returned from the hospital."
The stern woman raised a perfect eyebrow.
"No matter, Rogers. I reviewed the case files you have given me in regards to our little guest and I have to say, what I found is quite alarming. Especially concerning the godfather."
Mel quickly tensed.
"What have you found, my Lady?"
"He was never tried."
Blue eyes widen. That man was already in prison and has been for nearly four years now. To be put away without a trial was blasphemy!
"Are you sure?"
The other woman gave her a look.
"He was accused of being a Death Eater," The president glared out the open window. "During Grindelwald's propaganda, a law was passed that all warlords and their comfirmed followers be registered at the ICW along with their case files. Any Ministry, Congress or leader has access to them. Voldemort's" She spat out that name like a curse. "So called Death Eaters fall under war criminals, thus I have access to a list of confirmed Death Eaters, which, oddly enough, one Sirius Black is not on. He is accused of being a Death Eater but not confirm as one. No trial ever took place."
They were silent for a moment, letting the information sink in.
"Is there anything we can do?" Melody whispered. She was thinking there wasn't anything they can for the young man.
"There is actually. It goes to back Grindelwald again. Because he was an international threat, his followers can be tried in any country they were caught in and held in their prison. But they can also be tried another country than the one they were caught in if their crimes the one outweigh the first. This law was kept in place in case another Warlord were to try as well. Voldemort was declared an international Warlord by ICW. We need to convince the British to hand Black over to us for trial."
"But how would we do that?"
Melody began thinking of the little boy she just left with an uncle he thought he would never again nonetheless remember. Remus seems to truly believe the lies that had been fed to him. There is the chance he didn't at first but being brutally separated from his pack like that probably didn't help. He said he was married, a husband. Werewolves cannot function normally if their mates were to die, it's especially harder on first-gens. Remus is quite sane, slightly malnourished, but sane.
James Potter was married to Lily Potter née Evans, both confirmed dead. Peter Pettrew was pronounced dead, supposedly killed by Black. That just leaves Black, who is alive. Both his mental and physical health are unknown but just being alive is enough to keep Remus from going insane or feral or possibly both.
Mel jumped when a hand rested on her shoulder. Her president gave a concerned look.
"Mel, what's wrong?"
She bit her lips in response, causing the other woman to thumb them apart.
"I was able to find Remus Lupin."
"That's good."
"It is..."
"But..."
"He briefly mentioned he was married but as werewolf from the UK, their laws restrict them from marring, having jobs, getting an education, ecetra. There is the possibility that Black is his husband but I -I don't see how it legally possible for them."
The President narrowed her eyes. The gears turning in her head.
"Lupins are of Roman nobility. One of the oldest actually, from the founding of the Empire I believe. From what remember, their title is currently a French nobility not British. The Lupins are French citizens, werewolves can freely marry there but jobs and schooling are still hard to come by for them. Greece is pretty much the only place in all of Europe where they have some peace and freedom from their government. It's very likely that Black (whose family also hold a French nobility title as a British one) and Lupin used his French citizenship to get married under French law."
Melody doesn't want know where her president got her information from nor why she has it to begin with. There are things better left unknown.
Let's go back to their original problem on hand.
"How do we get Black here for a trial, a real one?"
The president cupped Mel's cheeks.
"Leave that to me, love."
She leaned over, pressing her lips firmly against Melody's.
Remus decided to talk about his life as a young cub. Yes, it was a sad childhood, with his parents locking him away once a month, always moving around, never having true friends until Lily came along and after that, James and...and Sirius. Peter was never really his favorite person, something just wasn't right with with that boy. He would never admit it but he was somewhat relieved when he heard the rat's fate. Sure he was told that Sirius had betrayed James and Lily and that he killed the rat but Remus still can't imagine his mate doing that. Killing someone in cold blood, he can actually as he seen it before. Twice actually, one attempted while the other was successful. But betraying his oath-bound blood brother and sister-in-law, never in a million years.
But he's been told again and again that Sirius really do it there was no proof to contradict that statement. It wasn't even that long ago that he started to believe in it. He wants some answers but people who most likely has are either in prison or rebuffs him at every turn, metaphorically patting his head and telling him that it shouldn't concern him.
At some point in his visit, Harry had climb onto his lap and decided to shamelessly trace his scars. Despite not remembering anything of before being left at the Dursleys, tracing Remus's scars or pulling on either Padfoot's fur or Prongs antlers was Harry's favorite pass time.
Moony had surprising been very calm the entire time. Searching him out, Remus was shocked to find the wolf contently purring away at the back of his mind. Moony hasn't acted like this since Lily asked for a blessing from the moon goddess the night Harry was born.
Harry yawned.
Remus realized it was getting late. And he missed his appointment.
Unknowingly, he hummed a small tune that Lily always hummed or sang when she was working or putting Harry down for a nap. He doesn't remember the words as they were in another language. He placed Harry back on cot as soon as he was sure Harry was fast asleep.
"Night Moony."
Remus smiled.
"Goodnight cub."
He softly closed the door.
Now he just has to figure out what he has to do next.
"Merlin help me, I'm doomed."
PLEASE READ
If you didn't read the top (that's ok) then please this. This story relies heavily on Ocs due to it being in America in the 2005 instead of Great Britain in the 80s and 90s. I'm pretty good at making up characters but this has so many I just can't imagine them all on my own. You've already met a few of them already and we might not see them again. Here is a list of OCs i need:
Den Mother (read chapter 2)
Handler (chapter 2)
Lawyers
Judges
Healers
Teachers
Students (around Harry's age as he will going to school soon)
Also, if you have an idea of what job Remus should have, please tell me. I haven't figured that part out yet. Another thing, the den mother and handler I want to assign are a couple, meaning if you want to create those then remember they are married to someone. In my opinion, werewolves don't do dating.
Before you ask, yes Harry will be going to Hogwarts when he turns eleven.
