I hope you enjoy this chapter. I am so close to finishing! This is the longest story I have ever written!

Chapter Thirty Seven

The True Knights

The next full moon came about rather quickly and soon all those who had agreed to be inducted stood in a field not far from the Burrow. It was a neutral place and was far enough away from houses for Remus not to harm anyone.

The people waiting shifted nervously, rubbing their arms as they fought for some warmth. Molly fussed around her family, excluding Ron, and tried to wrap them up warmer.

"Mum! Leave me alone!" Ginny whined, slapping her mother's fussing hands away.

Molly huffed and turned away. "Don't blame me if you get a cold." She snapped.

Ginny rolled her eyes and moved to stand with the twins. "Mum annoying you again, sis?" Fred grinned.

"We escaped as soon as we could." George added.

"Only just managed it." Fred continued.
"Barely made it out." George finished, shaking his head.

Ginny giggled. "She can be so overbearing sometimes." She sighed, flicking a strand of her hair out of her eyes.

She jumped as a pair of arms wound around her waist. She turned to see Harry, her boyfriend since just before Hermione vanished.

"Hey." Harry whispered.

"Ronniekins!" The Twins exclaimed, grinning at their other brother as he walked up behind Harry.

"So if you two are here, Hermione must be here too." Ginny observed, smiling.

"You really are quite smart." Harry teased, kissing her chastely.

"I know." Ginny smirked.

A few screams made them look round. Moony was towering over some witches and wizards, growling. Although he had taken his potion, Remus sometimes lost it to his wolf side.

People cowered away from the werewolf and some sobbed helplessly as he looked at them.

Suddenly, a new growl pierced the air and a white blur shot through the air. It landed between Remus and the people.

Ginny gasped as she looked at the white werewolf. "Is that Hermione? She looks different from her usual wolf form."

"That's because she's a werewolf right now. She can control that too, but it's better for her if she doesn't." Ron explained.

Remus stepped back from his Alpha, the amber in his eyes receding a little as the potion took over properly. Remus cowered away, mortified at what he had almost done.

Hermione licked his muzzle as a stag, bobcat, shaggy black dog and a silver snake appeared beside her.

Lily apperated to beside Harry and Ron, placing a hand on her son's shoulder as she stared at her husband's animagus form.
"Wow! So who is who in the animagus forms? I mean we know Sirius', but I want to know the others." Fred asked after a moment.

"The Bobcat is Severus, the Snake is Lucius, and the Stag is James." Lily told them, pointing to each in turn.

Their attention was taken back to Hermione as her eyes began to glaze and take on a soft glow. Lily grinned and looked at her son and his friend. "It's time." She whispered.

Hermione stepped forward to the first person, which just so happened to be Tonks, and gently tugged at the witch's bright green shirt. Nervously, Tonks pulled it down to reveal her shoulder.

Hermione bent down and, as she had done with the others before, bit her, holding back her saliva. Tonks kept quiet during the whole thing, biting her lip slightly.

Once she was done, Hermione stepped back. Tonks was about to pull up her shirt over the wound, which had taken on the same paw print the others had, when Remus stepped forward.

Everyone held their breath as Remus walked up to Tonks. He gently bit her too, withholding his saliva as Hermione had done. His mark faded to a heart, like the one Lucius bore.

Lily gasped softly beside the boys and Ginny. They all frowned and looked at her. "What?" Ginny asked.

"Remus just marked her as his mate." Lily explained hurriedly, her eyes riveted on the sight before her.

"Tonks? Tonks is Remus' mate?" George gaped.

"Bloody hell." The four Weasleys breathed.

Harry chuckled at them. Swearing seemed to run in genes.

Hermione moved onto Moody and before long everyone had the Mark of the White Wolf on their shoulders.

Hermione forced herself to become human, hiding the bushes to change and dress before talking to anyone.

"Tomorrow morning we shall have a meeting. Molly, I created a few tents and enlarged them to fit about ten people in. Is it okay if they are pitched in your garden?" Hermione asked.

Molly nodded numbly, rubbing her own mark as she looked up at the girl she had known since she was young.

"Thank you. Until tomorrow then." Hermione smiled before running off to change and run with her brothers.

The next morning, everyone was sleepily gathered in the enlarged kitchen of the Burrow. Nearly everyone was holding a coffee mug in their hands and cheery chatter filled the house.

In the corner, Remus sat with Tonks talking quietly about what being the mate to a werewolf means. It must have gone well as Tonks suddenly launched herself at the werewolf and kissed him.

Hermione chuckled and shook her head, snuggling into her husband's embrace. They were sat on the sofa she had conjured and Draco was sat at her feet, leaning against it. Hermione running her hands through his hair in a motherly fashion.

"Everyone, may I please start this meeting. As of last night, you all became my Knights. When I need you I shall call you by Telepathy. I can talk to anyone via telepathy, but you having the mark makes it easier to contact you." Hermione began.

"A lot better than the Dark Mark, I assure you!" Severus joked, sharing a smirk with Lucius.

A few people gave a nervous titter while the Marauders laughed. Hermione overcame her laughter first, shaking her head at her darkest brother's sense of humour.

"Any way, the first thing on the agenda is hiding. Does anyone here know of those who need to be hidden from either Voldemort or Dumbledore?" Hermione called.

A few people in the group put their hands up, including Tonks. Hermione overlooked them and nodded. "I have a safe house. Once this meeting is adjourned I shall collect them and we shall move them. Now, Harry is there any luck on finding Voldemort's Horcruxes?"
The meeting continued in a similar style, the Knights going over the most important factors that may help them win the war or might even cause them to lose.

Finally, once it was over, Hermione called those who had needed relative hidden to come to her.

Those included, Tonks, Daphne, Hestia Jones and Amelia Bones. There were five others as well.

Tonks wanted Andromeda hidden as she feared the Dumbledore or Voldemort would use her for blackmail, as she was a Black Heiress at one point.

Hestia wanted her niece and Brother put into hiding after their family had been killed the year before.

Amelia wanted her granddaughter put into hiding along with herself. She couldn't lose Susan and she didn't want to leave the Hufflepuff alone after the rest of the family had been killed.

Daphne wanted her whole family put into hiding until the war was over. Her reason was because her family had such a close link to the Prophesy and had remained neutral for so long that Voldemort was beginning to grow sick of it.

Hermione created a Portkey and sighed. 'Please, come with me. I need you.' She called in her brothers' minds.

The men all made to approach her when Harry, Ron and Draco stepped in front. "Where are you going?" Harry asked.

"Hermione wants us to go with her." James replied.

"We want to come too." Draco demanded.

"Boys…." Remus began.

"No, let them come if they wish." Hermione said wearily as she waiting at the portkey.

The three teenagers grinned and followed the men to the portkey. They held on as they were whisked away to their first destination.

After they had collected everyone to put into hiding, Hermione changed the portkey's address once more and held on.

After an age of spinning and extreme vertigo, they finally landed in the middle of a wood. The buildings were slightly charred and some were badly damaged.

Hermione took one look at the place and fell to her knees, holding her stomach as if to hold her grief in and to hold herself together. The men and teenagers shared a worried look and knelt down beside their friend, wife and mother.

"Mother?" Draco whispered in a concerned tone.

Hermione couldn't answer, her lifeless eyes staring at the place where her parents died.

Lucius wrapped an arm around her shoulders as Draco did the same around her waist, the two Malfoy men lending some comfort as best they could to the Lady Malfoy.

"It's the first time I've been back here." Hermione murmured some time later.

"Where are we?" Sirius asked.

"This is where I lived before. This was once the haven for all werewolves, ruled over by many generations of my family, of the Lupus Family. This is where they all died." Hermione replied in a mono tone as she tried to get a handle on her feelings.

"It shall now be a safe place for those who need it. It is unplottable and only I know the true location. I am the secret keeper." She went on to explain.

After they had gotten everyone settled, Hermione and the others portkeyed back to the burrow. As Lucius looked at her tearstained face he realised that he had never been more proud of Hermione.

Please Read and Review. Hermione faced her fears in this chapter and Remus marked his mate. I hope you liked this chapter. Next Chapter: Dumbledore and Voldemort team up

Can I just say in response to ???'s review, no I didn't try latin as I don't know it. I wrote the prophesy before I wrote the latin, but they sound better in latin. I used a translator. So I am sorry if it is not totally correct, but I don't speak latin (though I wish I could as it is a beautiful language), however I would like to thank you for reading this anyway.
