-REMUS' POV-
I see a silver wolf fly through Professor Dumbledore's office as Flame, Winter, Roan, and Rose run through the doorway.
"What's wrong?" Flame asks
"What happened?" Roan asks
"I- I don't know"
"Don't come looking for me, I'm not hurt, seeing as I can still make a patronus I'm not tortured. Flamsie, take care of your sisters, you're the next headmistress, I love all of you. Mischief Managed" The wolf says, jumping onto my shoulders, it licks me and vanishes.
"I should have stayed with her. This is all my fault" I say, hanging my head.
"Remus, Krissy said that she couldn't let them take you." Lily says
"I would have died for her!"
"And she won't be able to live without you."
"Expecto Patronum!" my own wolf patronus appears "Where are you Kriss? Are you okay? Please don't die on me. I love you." I say, the wolf runs out. A few minutes later, a different wolf appears, it's Krissy's patronus. "12 Grimmauld Place," A male voice says, Sirius perks up when he hears the voice
"Reg?" Sirius asks.
"Who?" I ask.
"My brother. And they're at my family's house."
"How do we get there?"
"We don't. We're not going."
"But we can save them"
"They chose to defect; I'm not risking my life to save them"
"But- Kriss."
"And?"
"She is one of your best friends and you're not going to help me save her?"
"Nobody is going Remus."
"That's what you think."
"Remus, don't. Give me a minute" Lily says, closing her eyes.
-LILY'S POV-
I appear in what I would assume is a living room. Krissy is sitting on a couch, disarmed. Someone is standing in front of her, twirling her wand.
"Tell me, who is closest to you?" He asks.
"I told you."
"There are others."
"No, not really. Just my friends."
"Who are?"
"None of your concern."
"If you work for us, I can offer you protection."
"No, you'll have to kill me first"
"No, I will get better results if I kill someone, like, hmm, how about your fiancé, Remus Lupin?"
"Never! Please! I'll do anything! Just don't hurt Remus!"
"Okay, I'll kill the little vampire, you refer to her as your sister? If I remember correctly?"
"NO! You can't!"
"Bring it in."
"No, you can't possibly mean…"
"Of course, how else would I kill you?"
My eyes fly open, I scream.
"What happened Lily?" Remus asks
"They're going to kill her!" I yell
"How? We have to save her!"
"NO! You'll get killed, you, Winter, Flame, Rose. You have to stay here. There was garlic, and they're using the poison. If you died, even if we did save her, it would be pointless. James, Sirius, come with me."
"Done" James says, standing up. We apparate to 12 Grimmauld Place. Silently, we walk into the living room. I hear her screaming.
-KRISSY'S POV-
"No! Stop! NO! Please!" I yell. The flower is getting closer and closer to my face.
"Stupefy!" I hear someone call. It is followed by a chorus of the same word. I see a head of curly red hair and the flower falls out of my murderer's hand as he falls to the ground, unconscious.
"Accio!" I say, my wand flies into my hand. I sit back down on the couch, because I can't do anything else, in fear of passing out.
"Kriss! You're alive! Scourgify!" Lily says, removing the flower from the room.
"Lily, get out of here! NOW!"
"Not without you!" She says, we apparate away, somehow we end up in the Hogwarts Headmaster's office.
"What? How did we get here?"
"it doesn't matter."
"KRISSY!" Remus yells, hugging me.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. I was just around Lupidemort"
"I don't care! What did he want?"
"Everything. When I lied, he said he was going to kill me. That didn't do anything. I really don't care what he does to me. But then, he said- he said he was going to kill you. When Lily got to me, someone was about to force-feed me Lupidemort"
"Who was it?"
"I don't remember" I lie, it's pathetically easy now. Of course I remember, it was Peter, in a mask.
"I'm so glad you're safe!"
"Remus, he wanted the location of headquarters"
"What did you say?"
"That we didn't have one, wherever was safe for that moment."
"So, you told the truth?"
"I did, we need a headquarters, and fast."
"The new school. Elemental protection? Apparition protection? Nobody knowing about it?"
"Oh, people know about it. Just not where."
"Well, it's better than everyone knowing exactly where it is."
"Yeah, I guess" I admit.
