AN: You're welcome.


Serenity stared at Dumbledore her heart faltering, "You're lying."

Dumbledore shook his head and gave a wavering smile, "Serenity, I-"

"You're lying!" Serenity shouted causing the students and other residents of Hogsmeade to turn and stare. Dumbledore glanced around anxiously but took a deep breath.

"Serenity, If I knew you were-"

Serenity swallowed advancing forward with her wand raised, "Do not lie to me."

"Serenity… I was not. You just took me by surprise."

Serenity snarled, baring her teeth.

"Took by- You let me be held captive by Fenrir-"

Dumbledore put a hand on her shoulder, "Serenity I don't know what you're talking about. I need you to relax… Fenrir or whoever told you this is just trying to manipulate and-"

"You're manipulating me!" Serenity shrieked.

Dumbledore glanced up at the students. "Serenity, please. Let's go back to headquarters and talk privately."

Serenity took a deep breath to calm herself, "Tell me the truth, Albus. Did you or did you not leave me with Fenrir?"

Dumbledore took a deep breath, "Serenity, please. I can't-"

"I guess that's my answer then." Serenity said coldly taking Dumbledore's arm and gesturing for him to apparate.

"Serenity."

"Go, just fucking go." Serenity spat and Dumbledore disapparated at once to 12 Grimmauld Place. As soon as they arrived Serenity stormed through the door and slammed it in Dumbledore's face. He sighed following her inside.

"Serenity, I have to ask you something," Dumbledore said as Serenity walked down past the portraits. Walburga began screaming in her portrait and Serenity groaned.

"Fuck off lady."

Serenity ripped down the curtain that was covering her and snarled.

"Filthy half breed!"

"Suck my ass!"

"Serenity…" Dumbledore said cautiously.

"What? What the hell do you have to ask me?"

Serenity turned around to glare at him her eyes rimmed with angry tears. Walburga screamed, incoherently behind them.

"The obscur-"

"My boggart? What about it?"

Dumbledore took a deep breath, "Why was that your boggart?"

Serenity gave a short laugh shaking her head, "Because my friend an eight-year-old girl was raised by muggles who told her she was demon and freak. She tried to hold in her magic. It destroyed her... it killed two of my friends. Then Fenrir killed her. He destroyed her."

"I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Serenity laughed. "You're fucking sorry? Apologize for the last six years of my life that I lost."

"Serenity I don't know where you got this from."

"Marook. Marook fucking told me. Does that name ring a bell?"

Dumbledore's face fell for a moment, "That's... Serenity you're under a lot of stress."

"I'm not fucking crazy!" Serenity shouted maniacally.

"Serenity are you alright?" Sirius asked poking his head in from the kitchen. Serenity snarled loudly at him. "Down girl."

Dumbledore sighed putting his arm on Serenity's shoulder, "Serenity I think you need-"

"Fuck off. Both of you just shut the fuck up."

Sirius looked at Serenity warily, "You know you really resemble Walburga."

Serenity wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Where's Randall?"

"He got grossed out by Remus' bleeding and went in there," Sirius muttered pointing to the drawing room. "Are you sure you're alright you look mildly unhinged."

Serenity chuckled walking into the drawing room and sat next to Randy who eyed her warily.

"Serenity… we need to talk. Can you have a mental breakdown later?"

"Do we now?" Serenity asked coldly and Randy nodded irritably. "About what…"

Randy took a deep breath, "Anna-"

"She's dead isn't she?" Serenity interrupted.

Randy stared at her for a moment before nodding.

Serenity shrugged, "Everyone's fucking dead."

Sirius glanced between the both of them, "Who's Anna-"

"My friend. Or she was. But now she's dead. Isn't that fucking wonderful?" Serenity asked her voice heavy with irony. There was a manic look in her eyes that was eerily reminiscent of Bellatrix.

"I…" Sirius began but trailed off as he took a step towards Serenity who snarled at him again.

"Stay the hell away from me."

"Serenity. Relax, there's no need for you to be a shithead." Randy muttered pulling on Serenity's arm and pulling her back down into her seat. She thrashed free of his grip and gripped the collar of his shirt and flinging him to the floor. He snarled loudly at her as he climbed to his feet. "I will break you."

"Oh please, I'd love to see you try."

Sirius looked apprehensively at the pair, "You know… Molly made some Lemonade earlier how about-"

"Stop fucking pretending to be my father. You're not you-"

Severus entered the drawing room and gave Serenity a glare that shut her up at once. "Serenity what are you doing?"

Serenity snarled again stalking towards him with her teeth bared, "Did you know too? Did you fucking-"

Randy seized Serenity by the collar and pressed his wand to the top of her head knocking her out, "I think we should let the child take a nap, don't you?"

Severus drew out his wand at pointed it at Randy who put his hands up letting Serenity slip to the floor, "What did you do."

"Sedative spell. You know to keep her from accidentally ripping your face off. I imagine she'd regret it later."

"Yeah mauling people's faces off is something people can regret," Sirius mumbled. Randy nodded grabbing her by the armpits and pulling her onto the couch. Severus glared at him.

"Be careful."

"I've known your bitch of a daughter almost six years. If I wanted to hurt her I would've done so."

"Do not call my daughter-" Severus began but paused taking a breath to compose himself, "She's never been violent."

"It's a wolf thing," Randy muttered and Severus flinched at the word wolf.

Sirius glanced at Serenity, "You know moony-I mean Remus isn't violent."

"Well he wasn't raised by Fenrir was he?" Randy asked making them both frown. "Don't worry I do this with other wolves all the time. If I didn't I'd have to clean up a lot more blood."

"She's... not like Remus is she..." Sirius muttered, still staring at his daughter who appeared to be sleeping soundly. Randy nodded.

"I've seen Serenity get violent before. She almost castrated this kid Bennie when he walked in on her in… you know what you get it." Randy said as Sirius and Severus stared at him. "Do you know what set her off?"

"I...she was calling Dumbledore a- Albus what happened!" Sirius shouted going to look for him.

Severus stared at Randy, his eyes dark and cold, "You ever touch her again I-"

"I'm just saying. Serenity's probably different than you remember."

"She's not." Severus insisted.

Randy shook his head, "How's the dude on the table?"

"Remus… he's alive." Severus said irritably moving to check on his daughter.

"He's a werewolf named… Remus?" Randy asked trying to not laugh.

"Yes."


"Albus, what happened with my daughter?" Sirius asked Albus who was sitting next to the table as Molly worked on Remus.

"She's just a bit... disturbed I think what happened was probably very traumatizing to her... perhaps what happened is a side effect of her withdrawals," Albus said as he turned to face the other way. Sirius scowled and grabbed his shoulder.

"Withdrawals," Sirius repeated.

Albus took a deep breath, "The potion she was being given."

Severus slipped into the room looking irritated, "That's a possibility."

"So how do I fix her!" Sirius shouted and Remus groaned.

"Pads, shut up."

"My Da-I'm sorry Moony... But she's my daughter how do we fix her?"

"I'm going to get some calming draughts for her. I'll work on something subdue the side effects of the withdrawals." Severus sighed, he tried to reign in his anger at Sirius referring to Serenity as his daughter.

Sirius nodded gratefully, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me for taking care of my daughter," Severus said, unable to stop himself from being snarky.

Sirius folded his arms across his chest, "She's my daughter."

Remus sat up clutching his chest, "I'm going to go upstairs now."

"I'll help you," Sirius said quickly.

"No I can," Tonks said as she rushed forward and tripped over her feet.

"I'll help him," Molly said.


Severus walked back into the drawing room and crouched down next to Serenity on the couch and pressed a kiss to her forehead, "Wake up."

Serenity stirred, her eyes fluttering open, "What happened?"

Severus smiled, ruffling her hair, "What do you remember?"

Serenity groaned, sitting up.

"Marook, Fenrir, I ripped open his... where am I?"

"You're... I think you're having blackouts... drink this."

Severus handed her a bottle that he slipped out of his pocket. She blinked several times and sipped slowly. She hiccuped handing it back to Severus.

"Taste...bad..."

Severus rolled his eyes, "My apologies. Back to bed you."

Serenity nodded resting her head back on the couch pillow. Severus grabbed a blanket off the top of the couch and draped it over her.

"Not… sleepy." Serenity yawned.

"Of course not." Severus agreed bitingly.

"You're….seeing you-know-who... tonight."

Severus paused, "Yes."

"You… spy…"

"Yes. Did you see that?"

"Yes...Sorry…"

"That's alright."

"Marook... good...kiss-" Serenity yawned loudly snuggling into her blanket.

"You can tell me later."


"Serenity… c'mon, wakey wakey." Tonks whispered shaking Serenity. She jumped rolling over onto the floor face first at Tonk's feet.

"What happened?" She moaned, unable to remember anything.

"Apparently you almost ripped off Severus' face. Then he gave you something to make you less loopy."

"Lovely…" Serenity trailed off as Tonk's helped her to her feet. She looked around the room trying to remember how she got there. Tonks smiled as she led her to the kitchen where everyone had gathered. Serenity sent a sneer at Dumbledore who pretended to not notice. She remembered Hogsmeade. But nothing after.

"Tea dearie?" Molly asked pouring her a cup. Serenity shrugged reaching for the sugar bowl and adding two sugar lumps to her tea.

"Serenity what happened with Fenrir?" Severus asked and Serenity laughed dryly.

"What the fuck do you think happened?"

Severus took a deep breath, "Serenity, where did you last see him?"

"Knocked out on the ground."

"Where?"

Serenity took a sip of her tea, "You'll have to ask Marook that..."

"What kind of name is Marook?" Charlie asked as he entered the kitchen. Serenity glanced up at him and smiled.

"I never asked," Randy muttered and Serenity nodded in agreement.

"What happened with Remus?" Charlie asked scanning the kitchen for him.

"He's upstairs… resting."Sirius sighed and Serenity glanced at him.

"What happened?"

"Fenrir was looking for you and then he attacked-" Sirius began but Molly shushed him.

"Wow. I feel really good now." Serenity said miserably. Charlie offered a kind smile and rubbed Serenity's shoulder as he walked past to raid the fridge.

"Sirius, Why don't you bring Remus a sandwich," Molly suggested.

"I'll do it," Tonks said quickly and Molly eyed her warily.

"No, I'll do it," Sirius said clambering to his feet.

"I just said I would!"

Serenity stood up and pushed her chair to the ground, "I'll do it. Merlin, you two are idiots."


Serenity balanced the food tray in one hand as she opened the door to the bedroom. Remus glanced at her over his book and smiled.

"Hey, kid."

"Don't call me kid." Serenity said seriously but smiled as she handed the tray of food to Remus and sat at the end of the bed, "You know my whatever and cousin are fighting over you right?"

Remus sighed, "Are they?"

Serenity smirked, "Mhm, can't blame them though. You're a very sexy man."

Remus turned red causing Serenity to giggle at him, "You have your father-whatever's humor."

"Now who said I was joking," Serenity teased but Remus just shook his head chuckling slightly, "But you're not my type don't worry."

"Oh what a relief." Remus mocked.

"Yeah, I prefer scars, man buns and a few years older but… you're a bit too old for my taste."

Remus smiled, "Oh yes, Tonks told me you're fond of Charlie."

"That little-" Serenity stood up with the intention of yelling at Tonks but stopped to take a deep breath, "I mean, that's not true."

"Oh of course." Remus agreed and Serenity growled lowly.

"Do you need anything else?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Alright Moons."

Remus smiled once more at the mini version of Sirius as she left.


Serenity made her way downstairs and was greeted by Randy who was looking at her expectantly. "We need to talk."

"About?"

"Anna, Marook, Fenrir… and who the fuck is Char-"

Serenity slammed her hand over his mouth and gestured for him to follow her into an empty room off the kitchen.

"Dude. Eavesdropping is rude."

Randy took a deep breath, "What happened with Marook and Fenrir?"

Serenity paused, "Um, well I made out with him."

"Fenrir!" Randy shouted with disgust.

Serenity's nose wrinkled up in disgust,"No Marook."

"As if that's any better. Stop snogging Marook."

"It's a good distraction strategy." Serenity said running her fingers through her hair.

"Or you're just secretly in love with him." Randy mocked.

"I'd rather drink aconite."

Randy shook his head, "What is aconite?"

"Drink it and find out." Serenity taunted.

"I personally wouldn't suggest that," Severus commented idly from the doorway. Serenity grinned at him. "Have you calmed down."

"I'm totally calm...Though I have no memory of what happened." She answered truthfully.

Randy bit his lip, "Anna… do you remember what I said about Anna?"

"Anna… no what?"

"Fenrir... she's um…" Randy hesitated and Serenity's face fell.

Serenity closed her eyes, "No."

"Serenity-"

"Do. Not. Tell. Me. That. Anna is… don't."

"Who's Anna?" Severus asked delicately.

"One of...She's...my friend." Serenity said opening her teary eyes.

"Fenrir killed her," Randy said quietly.

Serenity swallowed the lump in her throat,"Why?"

Randy shook his head, "Just-"

"Tell me Randall or I will neuter you."

"I...I don't know. Bennie said that you killed her."

"I did not!" Serenity shouted and Randy nodded.

"Well obviously…"

Serenity let out a short laugh as tears stung at her eyes, "He killed her… so he could… he wanted Marook, Bennie, and Lester to think that I was a fucking murderer." Serenity laughed again manically until her laughs turned to sobs and she fell to the ground tears running down her face. Randy awkwardly crouched down in front of her and patted her shoulder.

"I don't do hugs…"

Severus hurried over to his daughter and crouched down hugging her tightly as she cried into his shoulder, "It's okay."

"She's dead. Because of me. Lester died. Because of me." Serenity sobbed and Severus smoothed down her hair.

"Snivellus I- what happened?" Sirius asked as he saw Serenity's face. Serenity pulled away from Severus to stare at him. She blinked back tears before turning to Randy.

"She can't be dead Randy… Maybe...maybe Fenrir was lying. Maybe she's alive I-"

"Bennie… said he saw her body," Randy said standing up to look at Sirius.

"Bennie was lying. Anna. Is. Not. Dead. I can't have another friend dead. Niklaus is dead. Lester is dead. Calliope is dead… Anna can not be fucking dead." Serenity's voice cracked as another wave of tears hit her. She turned back to Severus and clutched to him desperately trying to catch her breath. Tear raked her face.

"Serenity…" Sirius said quietly moving over to her. She turned towards him her nose red and stuffy her red eyes swollen.

Serenity went to answer but she coughed, blood spilled down her chin.

"You said you got the blood back from Fenrir!" Severus shouted at Randy who looked confused.

"More." Serenity coughed, more blood spilling down to the front of her shirt, "There's more. Marook said-" Serenity coughed again, "She did it."

"Marook's a liar." Randy insisted. But flinched as Serenity hacked up more blood falling forward. Sirius moved forward to pull her ponytail out of her face.

"You know. I think we should take the lead." Sirius said rubbing Serenity's back as Severus muttered counter curses under his breath. Serenity whimpered desperately in pain.

"Fire." Serenity coughed.

"Fire?"

"On fire. Veins on fire."

Randy sighed, "We're taking the lead. I'll find Marook."

"I'll go with you!" Tonks shouted and then there was loud crash following.

"I'm going too." Serenity insisted as she let out a whimper of pain.

"Your veins are literally on fire. Just stay here." Randy muttered getting to his feet, "And you're not coming either." Serenity scowled at Randy made his way to the kitchen where Tonks was waiting with her hands on her hips.

"Yes, I am." Tonks scoffed.

"I'm not bringing you into a camp of werewolves. They'd literally eat you."

Tonks stood tall, "I'm not afraid of some pups."

Randy pursed his lips, "I've watched girls stronger than you…"

"I think they'd like me," Tonks said confidently.

"They'd like you alright…"

Tonks' currently purple eyes widened.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Randy shifted on his feet, "They like to play with their food… and if you're a pretty girl."

"I- well thank you- but I don't care. I'm going."

"Goddamnit," Randy muttered shrugging out of his sweatshirt. He handed it to Tonks. "You smell too human. At least mask it slightly."

Tonks slipped into the sweatshirt, "Alright, pretty boy. Let's go-where are we going?"

Randy opened the front door for Tonks who tried to saunter out casually but tripped over her foot and fell forward. Randy caught her by the bicep and Tonks stood up brushing off her robes.

"You're an Auror? Really?"

"Rude," Tonks muttered her hair turning red with anger.

"Where's your wand?"

"Shit," Tonks muttered hurrying into the house.
