Everyone looked and sure enough Moody had his grip on something no one could see. "Now it's time to see who the real culprit is." Moody growled.
The invisibility cloak was pulled off and Chloe Potter was revealed. "It isn't what it looks like, I swear."
Moody pulled her by the collar towards the castle. "It isn't that you stole another student's possession in order to steal and frame other students. And proceeded to use the cloak to send bludgers after an entire team of quidditch players? Tell me Miss Potter, what is it then?"
Chloe looked to where Remy was landing. "This is all his fault. He gets away with everything. He flaunts his cloak every where and no one ever cares what he does."
Moody shook his head. "You have broken several laws as well as school rules. Your parents won't be able to talk you out of this one."
Chloe started sobbing. "Please Professor Moody; I can't be expelled for this. Isn't there anything I can do to make you forget this?"
Moody smirked. "I'd stop right there before I add trying to bribe the head of the auror's office to your list of problems young lady."
Remy landed with his team. "Professor Moody, what is going to happen with her?'
Moody turned back to Remy. "I think you should accompany me Remy. I believe you and your fathers have a right to be here for this. Draco as well and Fred."
Fred and Draco joined Remy as they headed up to the castle, leaving the rest of the quidditch team and Remy's friends speculating about what might actually happen when Chloe was brought up to the headmaster's office.
George and Blaise slapped hands. "That little golden girl is finally going to pay for what she tried to do to my brother and to Draco."
Blaise nodded. "After all the stunts she pulled that injured Remy, like hexing the broom, she deserves to finally be expelled from the school once and for all."
Hermione shook her head. "I wouldn't get my hopes up you guys. We all know that our little Golden Girl gets away with everything and anything."
Susan had to agree. "No one wants the bad press of expelling or bringing up the hero of the wizarding world on charges for shop lifting."
Blaise laughed. "Shop lifting? The amount of money she stole from the store would be considered more then shop lifting. She's looking at major trouble there."
"That's if the store owner presses charges against her. You know that the Potters will just try and buy him off." Angelina reminded them.
Katie jumped in. "And if she doesn't get arrested on those charges, she hasn't broken enough school rules to actually get herself expelled over this."
"She set bludgers off on our team." Oliver said.
"But though fortunate for your health, unfortunately since you guys were warned, she actually caused no physical harm or damage by that stunt." Hermione said.
"We need to find out how she got into out tower and got his cloak. Maybe we can get her with that." Alicia suggested.
"It had to be someone in our house who was either impressed of scared by her into doing what she demanded. I'd say a first or second year of some kind."
Hermione thought of something. "I have an idea. Think about the little second year with his camera in your house. He follows her around like her lap dog."
"Colin Creevey." All of the Gryffindors said at once.
George thought it made sense. "I could see it going the other way. The kid idolizes her but he is pretty goody goody. She may have had to threaten him some how."
"We need to find him and find out if he was involved or if he knows. He might be our way into making sure Chloe finally gets what's coming to her."
The Gryffindors put their brooms away and everyone headed out in search of the Creevey boy in hopes that they were right or if they were wrong, he might have an idea of who it was. Colin was always busy with his little camera; he may have even got a photo of something. They had to find something to help straighten it out.
They didn't have far to go as they spotted him as they were going up the front steps. "Colin Creevey." George shouted.
Colin looked ready to run but Oliver and George grabbed him. "What? What do you want with me? I promise I haven't taken any photos of you guys."

Remy was in a much better mood when his fathers arrived this time and was delighted to see his Uncle Sirius in tow as well. His papa and daddy hugged him before they took seats and were soon followed by James and Lily Potter.
Lily looked over at her daughter. "I demand to know what trumped up charges you're bringing against my daughter this time. This is beyond harassment.'
Moody sneered and showed the cloak. "Your daughter was found in possession of another student's cloak which she used to steal from a store and set up two others."
James shook his head. "I have spoken with the store owner and he has dropped all charges against my daughter, here is a copy of the auror report."
Moody looked down at the form. "It seems she has been though that does not excuse her of stealing from Remy's belongings or other school rules she has broken."
Lily looked at the headmaster. "Borrowing a cloak from a friend and sneaking into town are not expellable deeds. The quidditch incident also caused no harm."
James stood up with his wife. "You know you'll never get away with expelling her over this. I will go to the minster."
Albus looked at Chloe. "How is it that you got your hands on the cloak?"
Chloe smiled sweetly. "It was loaned to me by one of his housemates. I thought Remy was lending it to me."
There was a knock at the door and when it opened they were surprised to see Oliver Wood come in with George and Colin. "Colin has something to clear up."
Colin paled. "Chloe tried to sweet talk me into getting the cloak. When I refused she and her friend Ron cornered me and threatened to hex me if I didn't help them."
Chloe shot daggers at the young man. "You stupid little brat. You could have been cool and become famous taking my photos. You're a spineless little fool."
Albus turned to the others. "Thank you. Between this information and the attempted attack on the quidditch field, I should have enough to deal with Miss Potter."
James broke in. "I will go to Cornelius, You can't do this and you know it. You will never be able to have my daughter expelled from this school."
Albus sighed. "That might be right but I can make her next four and a half years here at this school so miserable she'll beg you to remove her from the school."
Chloe looked between her parents. "What is he talking about? What can he do to me? He's already given me all those detentions and bans."
Albus smiled. "Consider those detentions and bans permanent. Until you graduate no quidditch, no Hogsmeade, no dances and detentions every weekend."
Chloe stuttered and began crying. "You can't do that to me. You can't ruin my entire school life."
Albus shook his head. "I can. And next time you step out of line it is detention every night till you graduate, and expulsion after that. I promise you that."
James sneered at the man. "You will regret this Albus. It would serve you right if we took our daughter from this school and took her to Beauxbautons."
That didn't get the desired effect. "That would be your choice of course James. As long as she remains student here though, she will answer to our rules."
Lily turned to her husband. "I think we should go to France at Christmas and see about placing her there. She obviously is being under valued here."
James put an arm around his wife. "Chloe belongs at Hogwarts like we did and we'll make sure everyone knows it. That little runt there will not drive her away."
James and Lily Potter stormed out of the office with their daughter in tow as she refused to let got of her father. When she was gone Albus turned back to the remaining people in his office.
"I'm sorry I could not expel her but I have done what I could. If the shop keeper had not dropped the charges she'd have been expelled." Albus explained.
Severus was livid. "Those two buy her out of trouble again. That girl is never going to learn anything but that she can do anything because she'll never pay."
Albus smiled. "I'd not say that. Four and a half years of cleaning bathrooms and corridor floors with toothbrushes on weekends, will definitely teach her something."
Remy hid a small giggle at that. "I'm just glad Hermione and Blaise warned us. She could have seriously injured me and the rest of my team with the bludgers."
Fred agreed. "George and I may be a pair of human bludgers but without our bats, and not expecting them, our entire team was at risk up there. Not just Remy."
Albus sighed. "I will see to Ronald as well. He'll serve the same punishment as Chloe but for only the school year, for helping with Colin and the cloak."
Remy stood. "Can we leave? We have been on the pitch and have not had a chance to cool down or change. We'd like to check on the others as well."
Albus motioned for them to take off and after saying goodbye to his dads who he knew he'd see in a week for Christmas, Remy went to check on the girls, to shower and even have a horrible cool down pep talk with Oliver. The practice had been more exciting then most but they'd have preferred a more boring one.
As they headed back to the castle Fred turned to him. "Thanks for standing up for me Remy. It means a lot."
Remy turned and hugged him. "You know you and Draco are like brothers. There is no way I'd have stood back and let either of you be hurt by Chloe's hatred.'

Remy and his friends were sitting later at their table having dinner when Remy noticed his Uncle Sirius resume his place at the head table. He was surprised but delighted, and after dinner sought him out.
"Uncle Siri. I thought you said you'd be away until Christmas. I thought you had to go back to work." Remy said.
Sirius hugged him. "No cub. I'm sorry we didn't tell you but we needed an excuse to have Moody here so we could find out who stole your cloak."
Remy smiled. "Because of Professor Moody's eye? He can see through the invisibility cloak couldn't he, or at least saw it?"
Sirius nodded. "His electric blue eye can see through any of those kinds of charms. The cloak is stronger but he could spot someone under one."
"So you're back and for good?"
"Well until the end of the year, as long as Peter is caught. You know when this is done I will return to being an auror." Sirius reminded him.
Remy nodded. "I know. I'm just happy you're back for the term. And I know you've got to go back. You're after all the best auror, well after Moody of course."
Sirius put him in a head lock. "After Moody of course? I don't know about you cub. Maybe I should stop training you."
Remy laughed. "No, please no, I want to learn to be it so bad. You know I think you and Moody are both the best. I was just joking."
Sirius let him go but not before kissing his curls. "I know cub. And we'll continue your practice at Christmas and when we come back from winter holidays."
Remy returned the kiss, to his Uncle's cheek. "Thanks Uncle Siri, you might be tied for best auror but you're the best Uncle. Just don't tell Uncle Luc I said that."
"I won't you little runt, now get up stairs and to your tower so I don't have to worry about giving you detention." Sirius said with a barking laugh.
Remy ran headlong up the stairs and he was so excited to tell his friends that his godfather was back for good. Moody was pretty cool but Sirius was the best teacher ever and they all wished he'd stay more then a year though they understood why he would not.
