He managed to catch a member of Voldemort's Deatheaters. While the others would object he obtained his answers by Voldemort's means, he used the crucio curse and managed to get the answer before the man died.
Voldemort
was powerful, so powerful that he felt that he thought he couldn't be
defeated, in that state of mind he destroyed the rest of his
horocruxes, that Harry didn't catch. At his side was his wand and the
sword of Gryffindor. 'The power he knows not…is mine.'
Bellatrix Narcissa Remus
"Be careful out there." Bellatrix warned the other two. It has been five years since they were last at Hogwarts and they have aged. Each grew in power and was an equal to any of Voldemort's inner circle. Supposedly he now had fifteen inner circle members. Each one of the members ruled over there own base. What was nice about the whole thing was that they managed to catch five and defeat all of them. Narcissa managed to catch Rookwood and Regulus Black. Bellatrix caught Lucius and Andreas Nott. While Remus caught Fernir Greyback.
"We will so long as I get my hands on Peter." Remus stated without emotion. The base that they were attacking was supposed to be the place that Peter reigned over. In Remus's last fight it showed that Remus had a serious disadvantage. Peter was a Necromancer and could manipulate time bringing the dead back to life and control them like they were a puppet. Last time Remus needed to fight Sirius and James just to escape with his life.
He clearly remembered crying as he killed the image of his closest friends and Peter's insane crackle as he walked out of the castle, leaving a sobbing Remus on the floor. The mocking still rang in his ears. 'I thought wolfs only cried to the moon. Thanks for clearing it up, Moony,' Peter said in a cynical tone as the oak doors opened and he walked out.
"I end it, no one else," Remus warned the other two women.
"Okay, we get it," Narcissa said rolling her eyes. "Enough with the over dramatics, wolfy. Let's just go in, smash them and come back out."
"Yeah, simple except for our next move. If we trust everyone else to do their jobs they trust us to do ours. The kids are attacking smaller bases with small fry leaders. But the rest of the big leaders are now aware and are probably bonding together." Bellatrix pointed out.
"Who cares?" Remus asked as he opened the castle door. "Focus on today. Tomorrow we can worry about tomorrow. If they bond together we can bring all of the others with us and bring them down." Remus stated as he strode off toward the castle and climbed though a window.
Narcissa was temporarily caught off guard. Clarrise's daughter had said almost the exact same thing to her all those years ago where they were more like a family then a militia. 'He must still remember.'
Back to the Hogwarts fight
"Face it, Peter, you can't beat me and you sure couldn't beat James or Sirius if they were to fight you." Remus said without removing his eyes from the Necromancer. Silently he raised his wand and caste an air cutting curse on Peter, slicing his face and his body wide open. Remus felt a weight almost lift off his shoulders when he hurt Peter. 'I really shouldn't enjoy this.' He thought with a smirk.
Then, something unexpected happened. Peter laughed, it wasn't a chuckle, but a flow blown laugh. "Do…you think my goal…was victory…look for the Potter brat and your bitch." It finally hit Remus. While he could not fight and win against the Darklord, at this point in time he was the only one that could have a chance of fighting and living to tell the tale.
End Flashback
They walked around the castle, surveying the area and trying to find a way in that didn't include the front door. They found a small window that had the glass punched out. Using a mirror, Bellatrix found that it was trap free and didn't have any deatheaters protecting it. 'Has to be a trap.' She thought to herself as she went back down to Remus and her sister."Too obvious…has to be a trap but there isn't another way in is there?" Narcissa stated.
"Yes there is. The front door." Remus replied. "You two climb in through the window and use the mirror to determine how many there are. I will then come through the front door and take as many of them out as possible. When their attention is drawn you two come out and finish the job. Understand?" They nodded their heads and Remus walked to the door. 'Problem is I won't know how many there are.' Remus looked at his watch as he ran around to the front. 'They had enough time to get in position…might as well get this over with.'
"WORMTAIL SHOW YOURSELF!" Remus cried as he blasted the reinforced Steel door off. He smiled to himself as he realized that it smashed into three different Deatheaters before it slowed to a stop at the end.. He then frowned as there was still ten very pissed off deatheaters.
"Get the wolf." One said in a deadly tone. Although Remus was outnumbered, he had the drop, was more experienced and used light magic.
Dark magic, while more powerful took up far more magical energy then the light magic. Also it took longer to charge the spell up and fire it off. Like when Remus wrestled with Harry, speed mattered more then raw power did in a fight.
A large wave of Killing Curses flew at Remus. He smiled, while it was unblock able He could stop the killing curse if he wanted to. Remus raised his wand in front of him and mumbled the words for the spell. Doves soared out of the wand in a wide spread motion, once the spells hit them they popped like balloons and left no trace of their existence. "NOW!"
Bellatrix and Narcissa came out of the room. "ADVARA KADAVARA!" Bellatrix shouted. The green spell collided with a deatheater who flopped onto the ground lifelessly. Narcissa rose her wand in her left hand, in her right was a remote. 'uh oh.' Remus thought as he dove behind a near by pillar. A resounding explosion answered his suspicion as she made one of the twin's cars explode and probably knock out the floor killing all of them. 'The killing curse was just a diversion…nice.' "NARCISSA YOU IDIOT!" Bellatrix hollered at her sister. Remus sighed as he got up and realized that the hole that the car made was too big for him to jump over and there wasn't enough room on the side to walk across.
"Oh give me a break, he could levitate across if he really wanted to." Narcissa explained. "Or he could climb through the window like we did." Narcissa then turned her back and continued to explore through the fort. There was sure to be more of the deatheaters though.
"It's alright, Bellatrix," Remus sighed. "There is a room down here that I can explore, you two just go on and try to take out the rest of the fort. Don't use your cloak though, if things get tight we will need to apparate away."
"But they could do the same." Bellatrix shouted back at him.
"So? They are small time. Chances are that you and your sister would finish them off before they could get away anyway." Not wanting to waste anymore time Remus leapt down into the hole and landed gracefully on the ground.
No, he wasn't afraid that Wormtail would flee like everyone seemed to think he would. Despite his looks, Wormtail could fight, and with the bodies of the deceased could even manage to gang up on an opponent and overwhelm them in a matter of a few minuets.
Unlike last time though, Remus had an ace. He managed to meditate with Luna Lovegood. She taught him how to detach himself from the world, his feelings and even his beliefs. Now, he could be what he needed to be, a machine lack of emotions of regret for destroying his friends bodies and thrashing his old friend.
Peter gave him reasons for his betrayal. Long ago, when the Mauderers were still together, Peter wasn't subtle like the others played him out to be, he was daring and a bit of a ladies man. He wasn't fat or balding or rat looking. In the beginning he was social, however that changed when he heard a conversation between James and Sirius.
'The two never did know when to shut their mouths.' Remus thought as he walked through the dark corridors. Often they would mock Peter, what he said was always nice and considerate, at the time the girls he dated loved it, that was what got James and Sirius going. Parts of them were jealous of what he could do, talk to girls, and make them love him. Somehow it was different then the way they would fawn over James and Sirius - with Peter it was genuine - the other two it was more of a crush which girls quickly got over.
There were multiple pranks on Peter as well, James and Sirius often would set traps and hang Peter by his legs, causing his robes to fall up and show his underwear, most of the time they blamed it on Severus which got the little grudge between the two started.
While Remus never participated in the cruel acts, he condoned them and allowed them to continue. In the end Remus held himself responsible as much as the rest of his friends. Peter became Wormtail because he overheard the next trap that Sirius and James set for him.
The following year Peter became reclusive and refused to talk to anyone other then Amelia Bones and Lily Evans. Remus could never be too sure but he thought it was because it annoyed James and Sirius to no bounds.
'I can't deny him his anger but I can deny him his revenge on me.' he thought as he walked into a room that had only candle light. Peter turned around and smiled maliciously at Remus. "The end of the Mauderers…what a fine day that will be. You will pay for what you did to me and Snape…"
"I
see no reason to justify my actions as I did nothing to support or stop
it. IF you want to end the Mauderers then you have to end me…can you do
it Peter?" Remus asked.
Tonks
The pink haired women stood over a cradle inside were two young children, brother and sister. The boy, James was hers and Harry's. She remembered the night well, when Harry and her married, the night of the honeymoon she was asked to bear his children. He was afraid that if he died, the world would be left in Voldemort's hands. If Harry had a child then the chance that the child could rise up and fight like he and his father did would inspire hope and the belief that if you hold on longer something good would happen.
Harry asked Katie the same thing, Katie had a girl and named her after her mother Clarrise. It still saddened Tonks to think of what Katie had gone through losing her mother, and to now be searching for someone so dear. 'It's almost unimaginable…' Shaking her thoughts she sat down at a desk and began to write.
To whom it concerns
I have to follow my heart, right now it is leading me to Harry, whatever the end we will go through it together. I am sure that in the end Katie will stand with us against Voldemort.
The children will be left parentless should we lose. Chances are that more and more people will die…this is why I am writing and sending out copies. I want the children to go to these people in this order. First is Amelia, if she is not living then Susan, should Susan have died then Ren, then Anne, and finally my mum Andromeda.
I am sorry to my child James…live to your heart. Don't fight because you feel you have to…do it because you want to defend others. Live brave. Live true. Live for your days not your fathers or mine.
Nymphadora Tonks
Slowly Tonks leaned down to James and planted a gentle kiss on his forhead. The baby twisted a little as she smiled and placed a few charms to help the kids should they get hungry or need a change and Amelia hadn't stopped by yet.Taking one last look she sent out the letters to everyone on the list and grabbed her cloak to head out and find Harry and Katie.
AN:// I know that it is short and overdue, but life is hectic when you have to push back a wedding date for a month so your parents can make it. Sadly this story must end soon as I joined the marines, don't expect more then five updates.
Also, I did the time skip because no one reviewed on the romantic scenes so I skipped the wedding and the honeymoon scenes. Also the in-between were skipped since I am strapped on time.
This sucks typing over and over but review.
