A/N looking for beta requirements at bottom of this chapter
In a wooded area next to a wide cobble street and a large brown building stood Remus Lupin and Mai Crawford, they waited.
"Why here?" remus asked confused.
"Orphanage," Mai replied as she pointed to the large building.
Then she pointed up the street and 'sniffed' not sure what else to do Remus just took a long sniff, and the scent that hit his nose made his blood boil, he knew that smell could never forget it. Mai handed him an object encased in a leather cover.
"I will take care of the children, it is time you handled THAT,"
Remus turned back to Mai but was shocked, she had left her place next to him and he saw the hem of her Kimono as she entered the doors of the building and closed the door.
Fenrir Greyback was proud, he was the Alpha of all the werewolves, as he marched on the building his heart raced. He sent five of his pack leaders to the building, they would enjoy the adults he desired the children.
One the five entered the building a strong wind blew through the street, catching a scent on the air Greyback looked around, finding nothing he looked back.
There in the center of the street between him and the building, stood a lone man dressed in ragged cloths and a long cloth trench coat, The man started to approach Fenrir with his hands in the pockets of the coat.
It did not take long for the werewolf to recognize the scent now,
"So the pup that escaped me, have you finally returned to..."
A lupin got closer he lunged his fis connecting with the side of Greyback's face, the brass knuckles breaking the bones of said face. Lupin did not stop there, his attack was heavy and hard, fast and Accurate, he never slowed down.
Remus always looked sick and haggard, because he refused the wolf, and the internal battle aged him greatly. With the help of Dora, Lupin had found he was a man a wolf and a Alpha.
Greyback could not get his balance after the first shot, Remus kept kicking and beating him, using his werewolf strength he over powered him, grabbing the collar of his shirt Remus swung him around till he swung him right into a tree. Greybacks back broke, Panting heavily Remus reached into his coat and pulled out what Mai had handed him.
A Kukri knife.
Remus stepped out of the woods, he had known they were there, he faced the other dozen or so Werewolves that had watched the fight, Remus just swung his arm.
greybacks head landed in the middle of the group, they stared at it for a moment.
"Leave, don't let me catch you serving the dark again." was all remus said as he turned and walked back to the building.
He had to walk slow as showing any fear now would ruin what he had just done. The other wolves just looked at each other then the head, and just left.
The five quickly entered the doors ready to kill, maim, and...
The building was empty of all but one Longue chair and on said chair was a woman.
Her robes were loose on her shoulders as he layed on her side, one hand holding up her head the other holding a book she was reading.
"They are not here," Mai said as she ignored the men and read her book. "They left so run along and find you play somewhere else."
The men did not move as they stared at her, a flick of her eyes and she sighed,
"Anyway I can convince you gentlemen to go find your fun elsewhere so I may read alone?" she asked calmly no fear and only slight annoyance shown.
One heart beat...
Two Heartbeats...
'THE LAUGH'
Sighing again Mai shifted her hand making the tassel fly up to keep her place in the book, closed the book with one hand...and tossed it into the air.
The five wolves all watched the item as it raised high, higher then normal. Their eyes quickly looked back at the girl, what they found made them take a step back.
Mai was no longer laying on the chair, she was now crouched down on all fours atop the back rest, eyes glowing a deep gold, tails swaying in an unseen wind.
Tails? the five thought at once and looked again.
Mai had five long thick furry tails that were a blueish white, the tips were a deep black, she also had furry points coming out of her long hair that looked to be the same blueish white with black tips, ears.
Before any of them could register what she was, she growled and leaped. Two men pulled hand made wands and started casting bashing and reductor curses at her. She just dodged them moving around everyone as if she was gliding on the wind. Left, right, over, under no one could hit her yet she was throwing spells back at them without a wand in her hands. She landed in the middle of all of them, stuck out her leg and used it to leg sweep all of them making them hit the floor.
Next she vanished, As the five yells and growled and stood up on wobbly legs they looked for where she went. As one they all realised and looked up. Mai was high above them and looked for a moment to be floating, arms stretched out glowing blue hands. Her Kimono again caught in an unseen breeze, her tails spread out in a spiral pattern.
And like a bullet she came down hitting the grown in the middle of the group, The blast was silent, Mai just stood up and calmly walked back to her couch and again laid on her side, resting her head on her hand. She just held out her other hand, the book landed in her palm using her thumb she again opened the book one handed and began reading, a relaxed looked upon her.
Remus, had walked as fast as he could without looking worried or fearful, as he entered the doors he was met with a sight. There was five statues of ice, and upon closer looked he realised that each statue was in fact a person, then his eyes were drawn to the young woman, sitting on her couch like a queen, Lupin admitted that this young woman had confused him, he could smell and sense something about her but until now he could never figure it out.
The tails were waving in the unseen wind, waving at him, and he now realised why she was such a mystery.
"Kitsune?" Remus spoke shaking his head.
"Very good," She replied as she stood up off the couch and walked through her Ice statues.
As she did Remus got a closer looked at the men in ice and realised as one blinked and looked at him, they were still alive.
"Let us leave, you should head back and help Ronald, I will check on the girls in Kent." Mai spoke calmly as she passed Remus.
"What will we do with these men?" Remus asked indicating the statues with his hand.
Just as she was stepping out the door Mai lifted her hand , snapped her fingers, and the statues shattered. the red chucks of ice spread out over the floor. Mai looked back at Remus her eyes glowing gold, and her voice deep and mature.
"Don't forget, I caught the eye of a pure predator, think about that." and she was out the door.
Deep into Diagon Alley, on the steps of the Gringotts bank, stood Bill Weasley and his soon to be wife Fleur. They waited standing next to a pillar, Fleur had decided to lean against it, her beauty made the simple action look so much better, as Bill just watched her with a smile on his face.
Further into the Alley was a small gap between two buildings, this was the back entrance to Knockturn Alley, and out of this gap came five men in black robes. They walked down the cobbled street and as they came across Bill and Fleur one pulled a wand.
"There our first prey, crucio," he shouted just as two on his friends shouted 'wait'
It was too late, the spell flew towards the couple who easily dodged away from it, watched it strike the marble column of the Goblin bank. Bill and Fleur looked at the spot it hit (a small scuff at best) then looked at each other, then looked at the one to cast the spell as if he was crazy. They were not the only ones as the four robed companions all stopped to stare at the one to cast the spell.
"What?" he asked at everyone's looks.
At that moment the doors to the bank opened and three goblins walked out, two wore what could only be called maintenance overalls, one with a short ladder the other with wooden tool box, while the third was in a suit and lead the other two. As they reached the pillar the one in the suit took the ladder and climbed the few feet to the scuff mark then reached for the rag that had been pulled from the tool box. ignoring everyone as he wiped and polished the Marble, he nodded as the mark was cleaned off before he climbed down the ladder slowly, turned to face the robed man that cast the spell and leaped.
The Goblin pulled from a small coin purse a large two-handed broadsword, and as he landed he sliced down through one robed figure cleaving him in two. spinning her slashed one across the belly, before thrusting into a third persons chest. The forth man had moved behind the goblin as he tried for a sneak attack, the Goblin just spun around, cutting both legs off below the knees.
But the Goblin did not stop there he kept spinning around and as he did he raised up into the air leaving the man each time he went around till he severed the man's head from the rest of what was left of his body all the chunks fell to the ground. The goblin then did a back flip in mid-air and as if there was an invisible wall he kicked off and covered the twenty feet to cleave the last one in half before he landed.
He was already walking up the steps to the bank as the final person's two halves hit the ground. The boblin just cleaned his blade and put it back into the coin purse, Bill and Fleur heard one of the maintenance goblins whisper to the other,
'guess that answers the question of whether or not he has spent to long behind a desk'
The lead Goblin just patted himself down removing any blood from his clothes, pulled out a pocket watch and checked the time. After he put his watch back he straightened his tie and looked at Bill and Fleur.
"The bank will be open in half an hour,"
Then Ragnok the Sixth just clasped his hands behind his back and walked into his bank as if it was just another day.
Bill and Fleur were shocked speechless for a few moments before they both broke up laughing almost falling to the ground. their merriment ended when a pillar of fire shot up into the sky, sobering they quickly moved down the Alley to the battle.
Fred, George, Croaker and Mr. Ollivander stood in the wandmakers shop watching out the windows. A small bell dinged from Fred's pocket and he pulled out a small mirror,
"We have a group coming from Knockturn," He told them as they watched five robbed figures emerge.
The robed men started attacking random people, the group watched as a mother and young daughter were cut down by killing curses, The Weasley's growled wanting to charge out but Croaker held them back as he pointed to a shadowy niche where five men in unspeakable robes charged out attacking the robed figures.
During the battle three people in robes slipped out of Knockturn and made their way to the wand shop,
"That's our que." Croaker spoke as the group moved to the back and using a secret ext left the building.
The three people, turned out to be two women and a man, entered the shop wands out.
"He had fled," one woman said.
"How I saw him in here with three others." the man spoke.
"Doesn't matter," the third woman shouted. "the client wants his research as well start grabbing."
As they moved through the shop grabbing scrolls of parchment, one woman found a red one hidden behind a shelf, knowing that it was important she quickly reached, grabbed and pulled. not seeing the hair thin string on it till she heard a click, snap.
Ollivanders shop, that had been on Diagon Alley for over two thousand years, erupted in a massive pillar of fire that shot hundreds of feet into the air.
"Wow!" Fred cried from the window in the Twin's shop as he watched the flames reach the heavens.
"Nicely done," Croaker smiled. "That should convince everyone that you are dead AND your research is gone, you should be safe now."
"Agreed, though It is a shame that store had been in my family since the first wandmaker."
"Look at it this way, now you can rebuild even better." George added. "Now there is still a fight going on and my brother and I can't let any more innocent people get hurt.
And with that Fred and George Weasley stormed out into the battle and started cursing and attacking any robed figure they could find. Croaker watched and waited, before being distracted by the mirror again dinging (Fred had left it on the counter by mistake)
Quickly grabbing it he looked as it showed about a hundred robed figures charging up Knockturn, "Merlin, its a trap." Croaker shouted and charged out of the building.
Everyone was fighting as he could hear the thundering steps of the new force moving closer. No other choice Croaker decided to use one of his biggest secrets, he leaped.
Landing about ten yards from the entrance to Knockturn Alley was a massive toad, at lead twelve feet tall at the eyes and even wider across its back. One new robed figure charged out of the Alley and the toad just croaked before opening his mouth. It's tongue shot out and speared through the man's chest before pulling back into the toad's mouth, man and all.
A crunch and a croak was all anyone heard. The Toad's eyes narrowed as it felt someone jump on his back and kneel down on his head between his eyes. ollivander had changed his appearance but his voice was the same.
"You never told you you studied in the far east, do you know black oil?" Ollivander asked and nodded as the toad just croaked.
The chest of the toad started to expand greatly and the wandmaker pulled out a long staff, in a matter of second the toads chest was full and he opened his mouth and spewed out a deep blad substance just as Ollivander used his staff to cast a fire spell.
The oil ignited as it shot down the alley, it was so fast that the new force charging did not have time to even piss their pants before the fire consumed them.
A croak later and Croaker had transformed back and Ollivander had jumped down panting,
"It has been far to long since i was in a fight." the wandmaker spoke.
Croaker just nodded as he pulled a feather from his robes and handed it to ollivander and with a simple word the wandmaker was gone.
Licking the inside of his mouth and rubbing his chest, "Going to have heartburn in the morning." he spoke to himself as he spotted Bill and Fleur running from Gringotts into the battle.
