I am having trouble with FF . Net and it won't let me add a new document, so I am using an old document. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully the next one will be up soon.

Chapter Thirty Six

Recruiting

Tonks was sat in her office, which she shared with fellow Aurors and Order Members, Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt, when the fireplace she had flared green and a letter shot out, landing neatly on her desk.

Moody looked up from his desk, his magical eyes fixed suspiciously on the parchment. Kingsley too looked up, but he just gave a small smile that was almost a smirk.

"So who is the letter from, Tonks? Some sordid love note I can use for Blackmail?" Kingsley teased.

"Constant Vigilance!" Moody snapped as Tonks went to open the letter. "Check for curses and such."

Tonks rolled her eyes and performed the usual security charms she was forced to make on all her post by Moody. There were advantages and disadvantages to sharing an office with him.

She found one charm. "There's a charm which means anyone else besides us, since it's addressed to us, reading it won't be able to." Tonks announced to her partners.

"Then open it." Kingsley grinned.

Tonks ripped it open and scanned the letter. Her jaw dropped and her eyes bugged out slightly.

"What? What is it girlie?" Moody asked.

"Do either of you know a white wolf?" Tonks replied, her eyebrows raised.

"Nope. Why?" Kingsley frowned.

"This letter is from this White Wolf saying they want to meet us. We have to go to the Burrow tonight." Tonks answered.

"Then we go. If this person is evil, we can capture them." Moody told his two younger partners.

The Hogwarts staff were sat in the Staff Room when several house elves appeared. They went around, handing each member of staff a letter. The only ones not to get one was Remus and Severus as they already knew all about it.

Minerva McGonagall gasped as she read the letter, her eyes going wide. "The prophesy!" She muttered breathlessly.

"It seems so." Flitwick agreed, his tiny eyes riveted on his own letter he held.

"So do we go?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Of course. I for one want to know what this is all about." McGonagall replied firmly.

Severus and Remus shared a secretive smile and got up to leave the room, to tell Hermione.

The evening seemed to take forever to roll around, everyone whom Hermione had sent letters to becoming ever more curious as the time went on.

Hermione and her pack apperated to the Burrow, getting there before anyone else. She sat down outside, already dressed in her robes and made up like before.

Molly peered out of the window at the white figure seemingly meditating in her garden. "What's she doing?" She asked Ron.

Ron grinned. "She's putting wards up, so if anyone rejects joining after she has told the information then their memories of tonight are wiped permanently."
Molly gasped. "But that's awful!"

"We can't have Dumbledore finding out about us." Sirius answered as he wandered into the kitchen with a shrug.

"Or Voldemort." Harry agreed, walking into the room behind him. He ignored Molly's small squeak at the name.

"Oh, I g...guess." Molly sighed.

There was a pop and they turned to see Lucius. Molly immediately held up her wand and pointed it at him. "Get out, Deatheater! Before I call the Order!" She spat, still believing him to be evil.

"Molly! Molly, stop! Lucius and Hermione are back together. He's not evil." Lily protested, standing in front of the witch.

"Are you sure?" Molly asked doubtfully.

"Positive." Lily replied seriously.

Before Molly could reply, Hermione walked into the kitchen. "We had best go before the others arrive. I want to make a good impression and a great entrance." She smiled.

"You and your grand entrances. You just like the attention, don't you?" James grinned.

Hermione's smile turned impish. "Of course. Now, let's go before they all start to arrive."

Molly watched as they all left her on her own. No sooner had they left, Ginny called out to let her family know that the first of the guests had arrived.

Tonks shifted in her seat and turned to speak with Moody. "Where is this wolf then?" She whispered.

"I don't know. But there are a lot of people here. All of the Hogwarts Staff, except Filch, Snape and Lupin, are here. As are most of the Order." Moody replied. "Remember Con…"
"Constant Vigilance. I know, Moody." Tonks grinned, shaking her head in amusement as the elderly Auror huffed and looked away.

The muttering in the room suddenly went quiet as a chilling howl went up into the air. They all turned to see out of the window where the howl had come from. They all eagerly hurried to see more.

The Weasleys led them all outside and everyone gasped at the cloaked figures and the wolf. The wolf's amber eyes took everyone in. Before their eyes, the wolf rose and turned human.

"It is good to see you again, Molly, Arthur, Boys, Ginny. It is a good turn out, don't you think?" The woman dressed in pure white, obviously Hermione, asked the others.

The tall figure dressed differently from the others, wearing a robe of light blue, nodded. They were standing right beside the woman

"Let us go inside." Hermione smiled, gesturing for the large group to enter before her.

All of them did so, whispering amongst themselves about who she was, some trying to guess who she was and others querying whether she could be trusted or not.

"I know that some of you are sceptical about whether I can be trusted or not, but believe me when I say that I am the least of your worries. Last year, there was a prophesy about me. It said I would go into the past and find love." Here Hermione stopped and gestured Lucius to step forward, which he did.

"I not only found the love of a lover, but the love of brothers." Here, Hermione's blood brothers stepped forward.

"The Prophesy spoke to two dark lords, I believe the second Dark Lord is Dumbledore. He is manipulative and power crazy. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants, no matter who gets in his way." Hermione continued.

"How do we know this is true?" One of the more sceptical members called out.

"Just ask two of my Knights and Pack." Hermione replied, gesturing for Lily and James to step forward.

"Do we take off our cloaks?" Lily whispered as she passed.

"Yes. It's time we started to reveal who is in my pack, who are my Knights." Hermione replied.

Lily nodded and the two stepped up into the spot Hermione had just vacated for them. With a nod and a comforting glance at each other, they removed the hoods.

The room gasped as James and Lily Potter were revealed to them. "Hello, my name is Lily Potter. On the night of Halloween, the year we died for the first time, we were betrayed by Peter Pettigrew. We had originally chosen Sirius as our Secret Keeper, but Dumbledore insisted we change to Peter." Lily bowed her head.

"Because of that, we died and were unable to save Harry. He also knew Sirius was innocent and did nothing to save him from Azkaban." James continued where Lily had left off.

The group murmured amongst themselves. "My knights will now show you who they are." Hermione announced.

A hush, full of excitement, swept over the large amount of people gathered in the Burrow.

One by one they threw off the hoods. Daphne, Draco, Ron, Severus, Remus, Sirius, Harry and, finally, Lucius. Hermione took hold of Lucius' hand and people began to murmur at the action.

"When I was in the past, Lucius became my lover. We were married not long out of Hogwarts and had a son three years later."

Slowly realisation filled those who were old enough to remember Lady Hermione Malfoy. Of course, the Professors and fellow Classmates of Hermione's in the past knew her as Lupus first and the staff managed to connect the dots first.

Hermione pulled down her hood and those in the dark gasped in amazement at her. "I have been hidden for years as Hermione Granger, when my true name was Hermione Lupus. My parents were werewolves and we lived with a pack, until Voldemort killed them all. When I married Lucius, I became Lady Hermione Malfoy, but for now it will just be Hermione Lupus."

"So, who will join me in my fight against Dumbledore and Voldemort?" Hermione asked.

McGonagall looked around at everyone before slowly raising her hand. "I will."

Tonks grinned before her hand shot into the air. "I will."
Kingsley soon followed. "I will."

Then Moody. "I will, I suppose. Something never did sit right with me about Dumbledore."

One by one, hands began to raise and people gave a verbal agreement as those before them had.

Hermione shot a grin at her pack before turning back to the new recruits. "Then on the next full Moon you shall all be inducted into my Pack. You shall all become Knights of the White Wolf." She announced, smiling at them.

As everyone left, Hermione hugged Lucius tightly. "You did wonderfully, darling. You had everyone enthralled." Lucius whispered in her ear.

Hermione sighed and snuggled further into him. "At last, things are looking up. The battle is soon, and we'll be ready."
