The Mudbloods Daughter II: The Kings are Back!
The full moon came on the following Friday, and it was an event they were all nervous about. That week had been hectic for all, they had came up with a new identity for Lily, gotten in trouble for bringing her back by Minerva and then there was the Slytherin versus Hufflepuff Quidditch game. Slytherin had won, with 500 points. Then there was also Jon, who had taken to following Raine about, and trying to get her attention.
Overall, by the full moon, they were all antsy to get out of there and to the Forbidden Forrest. That was where they were all now gathered, The female Honours, and the Marauders in their animagi forms, while they waited for the full moon to take effect on Teddy and Moony. Plushpaws was sitting on top of a mossy green boulder, licking her paws with a contented look on her face, while Puffball, as a small, dark honey coloured chinchilla, was curled up on her back, snoozing.
Paws, a magnificant, pure white, sleek furred wolf, sat on a patch of green grass, watching Teddy and Remus with dark blue eyes, while Padfoot lay on the muddy ground beside her, his shaggy black furred head resting on his front paws while his tail swished back and forth. Pappy was perched up high, away from the rest of the group, on the branches above their heads, her golden eyes glinting as she spread her wings to stretch them.
Then, Periwinkle was curled up into a ball of spiky red fur, looking at Prongs menacingly from a hole in a tree. He had stood on her tail with those big hoofs of his. Prongs stood tall and mighty, occasionally rearing back onto his hind legs in a display of dominance, that only Paws would howl at in protest. And then, it happened. The full moon rose, Teddy and Moony's transfiguration began. Paws lowered her head, closing her eyes out of respect, and the others followed suit, before two fully changed werewolves were before them, at the centre of the group.
Fluffy was the larger of the two, his snout bared into a snarl, his brow furrowed at his eyes flicked over the group. He was coated in a thick sheen of blue fur, and he bent over, so his front to hand like paws, with curled claws, larger than a human head were touching the ground. He was balanced on his legs, powerful, and regal, his tail swishing dangerously as he looked over to Padfoot.
Moony was the smaller one, just barely though. His fur was of a sandy colour, and coated his snout and body fully, while he had a tuft tail. Paws barked, and padded over to Fluffy, before bounding onto him, knocking him to the ground and licking his face affectionately. Fluffy batted her away, snarling, almost playfully, while Padfoot bounded towards Moony.
Plushpawd roared, and then dove at Fluffy, and soon the entire group where in on it. Suddenly, Paws was alert, when she heard something. Her ears pricked, and she howled loudly, causing all motion to stop, and silence surround them, like a thick blanket of fog.
"Did you hear that? Come on, Bart, please, let's go back to the castle," a female voice hissed, sounding terrified, and Moony and Fluffy, immediately snarled, sniffing the air. Plushpaws looked over at Paws, who readied herself to leap into action, like Padfoot. Paws nodded to Plushpaws, who then took off, soaring over the two werewolves heads and towards the voices.
Fluffy reacted instantly, bounding after her, and Paws flew at him, knocking him to his side. Fluffy knocked her away, while Moony snarled, and lashed out at Prongs who was trying to stop them leaving the cover of the trees. Screams from the couple who were getting close to them echoed, and Pappy soured high into the air, spiraling, before diving into the Forrest to see what was happening.
Fluffy howled, as Paws landing on his back, digging her claws into his shoulders and tired to shake her off. Periwinkle danced around his feet, avoiding being trodden on by his claws, trying to trip him. Padfoot and Prongs were pushing them back, deeper into the Forrest. Finally, too exhausted to keep fighting her, Fluffy fell to the ground with a thud, into a ball of blue fur. Moony was quick to follow, Prongs holding him down with his two front hooves.
Paws and Padfoot kept their ears pricked, searching out the sound of voices, yet only the shrill noises of the night surrounded them. When Paws heard the familiar sound of Plushpaws, racing through the trees towards them, was when she pulled her claws from the whimpering blue werewolves hunched shoulders. Softly, she bounced down from his back, and padded round to his muzzle, gently prodding it with her black nose.
She licked his shoulders tentatively, where her claws had cut through his flesh, before lying down next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. Padfoot looked at them, before turning to Moony, who was whining quietly. Prodding over to him, he nudged him gently, before curling up beside him, tired.
Teddy stirred in early in the morning, feeling a heaviness over his shoulder. He opened his eyes, groaning as pain shot through his back, to see Paws sleeping on his shoulder, her snout nuzzled into his neck. smiling, he rose his hand weakly, and scratched her ears, causing them to twitch madly as she growled in her sleep. He looked over at Moony, who was in his human form as well, as naked as the day he was born. "Hey, Dad..." he whispered, and Paws lazily opened an eye, before her head rose and her eyes opened fully. Then, she was on her feet, Narca-Jane once again, and stripping off her cloak to give to Teddy.
"Come on, sweetie, time to get you cleaned up," she whispered, and Padfoot opened an eye, before growling at Teddy. Narca-Jane sighed, and bent down, kissing his nose, and scratching his ears. "Quit being jealous, ya mangy mutt," she said affectionately, stroking his shiny fur. "Now help me get these guys up, otherwise i might just leave you for Remus," she said eyeing up Moony with a smirk. Suddenly Padfoot was human again and covering Remus with his cloak, looking at Narca-Jane with fathomless grey eyes. Narca-Jane smiled sneakily, and kissed him on the cheek, before going over to Teddy.
"Okay, lets get you to the Shrieking Shack," she said, and Teddy nodded, as she threw his arm around her shoulders.
Moony looked at Teddy, who was sitting wrapped in a big thick blanket, while Narca-Jane combed his hair, talking to Raine. Sighing, he looked at his own hands, and then left the room, not noticing Riley sigh and shake her head, from where she sat, huddled up with Stella. Adalyn frowned, and then turned to Teddy, speaking to him.
Padfoot looked at Moony, as he walked into the bedroom, from the bed, where he and Prongs were playing 'Cheat'. "What's wrong, Moony?" Padfoot asked, a grin on his handsome, seventeen year old face. Moony just sighed, and flopped down at the end of the bed. "Remus, mate?"
"We don't belong here, Sirius," Moony stated, and Padfoot frowned. Prongs sighed, and dropped his cards, running his hands through his messy black hair. "This isn't our life, its theirs. We shouldn't be here."
"Remus..." Prongs started, and Moony shook his head, frowning.
"No, James. We really don't belong here. Sirius shouldn't be going out with Narca-Jane, and you shouldn't be talking to your thirty-five year old son as a seventeen year old," Moony stated, and Padfoot frowned.
"What about you and Teddy? You two spend all your time talking. Don't think we don't hear you two at night. 'So your in love with Narca-Jane?'. He is going to have to face that Narca-Jane is MY girlfriend, and not his anymore," Padfoot barked, just as Narca-Jane wandered into the room, holding a tray of steaming scrambled eggs and toast. She sighed.
"I'm sorry, I should have knocked. But the breakfast is ready," she said holding the tray out to them. Prongs smiled at her, fixing his glasses, and then got up to get the tray from her. "So, I wanted to talk to you three about the Summer," she said, walking over to them, and sitting beside Padfoot, who kissed her on the cheek, causing her to flush red. 'What about it' Moony asked, and Prongs looked at her curiously. "Well, I contacted my Grannie Molly, and she said that it would be a pleasure for you three to stay with her. I just wondered if it was alright with you three?"
"What about the time we were going to spend together?" Padfoot asked moodily, and Narca-Jane laughed, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Sirius, I live right opposite Grannie Molly, you idiot," she said, kissing him on the nose, and Padfoot grinned at her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Moony coughed, and the two looked at him, before separating. "So, what do you think? Remus, James?"
"It's fine with me, as long as she doesn't mind," James said, shrugging as he started to eat his eggs. Narca-Jane looked at Moony, who just shrugged and said 'Fine'. Narca-Jane frowned.
"Remus, can I please talk to you for a moment?" she asked, and Moony looked at her in confusion, before nodding. "Good, follow me," she ordered, and she got up, walking from the room, her tangle of messy platinum curls shimmering. When they were alone, in an empty room, she closed the door and looked at him seriously. "Remus. I don't understand what your problem is, and honestly, if you weren't Teddy's father, I wouldn't give a damn. Now personally, I like you, I think you are a good person."
"But when it comes to the sake of my friends, and our group, I am not as easy going. Remus, I don't think you understand the risks we are taking, with you three here. We could go to Azkaban for this. This entire thing was a mistake, and we are trying to make the best of it. My Grannie Molly was kind enough to take you into her home, because I asked her to, so don't make me regret asking her for help. Now I know, you aren't used to this time, and you probably think you don't belong here, but now you do okay?" she told him, her arms crossed and her eyebrows furrowed.
Moony looked at Narca-Jane for a long time. On one part, he was icredibly relieved she liked him, and slightly mad that he was causing her so much trouble while the other part of him just wanted to yell at her, for no reason at all. "I'm sorry. I just... haven't settled yet. I am sure that once I am used to this time, I will be fine," he sighed, and Narca-Jane smiled at him gratefully, before hugging him tightly.
"Thank you, Remus," she whispered, kissing him softly on the cheek, in a friendly sort of way, before leaving him in the room, alone. Moony stood there for a moment, before smiling, a feeling of weightlessness, and happiness filling him.
He felt safe, and comfortable. But mostly... he felt like he was home.
