Ramona takes a deep breath to brace herself. Every time Ramona meets her friends she finds she has less in common with them. Her humour, her political views, her views on Dark magic. Her casual use of Dark magic is something that irritated her friends at School and it's only getting worse. The Dark magic Ramona has practiced since leaving school is not something her friends will approve of.

Ramona needs this magic, needs to learn Dark magic to be able to protect the young cubs from Vampire scum, protect herself against a ministry that is against her. Even though she isn't officially registered, she still most likely has caught the attention of the hunters. Ramona using Dark magic isn't all about protection though, for Ramona it's the welcoming feeling of the magic that entices her.

With her Werewolf friends she is open to different opinions that she wasn't exposed to at school. The nonstop talk of hatred of Wizards and Witches slowly creeps into Ramona's mind and slowing makes sense to her. Sure there are some decent magical families that aren't prejudiced towards her, the majority of magical families that aren't prejudiced are, the Dark families. The Dark families are the only Wizards and Witches that try to put bills to help Dark creatures like her. Only the Dark help her.

Non stop hatred of the Wolfsbane potion is also common in the Werewolf community, 'it's poison, look who created it? Look who funded it? Any Werewolf that has it isn't going to pass their sixtieth birthday."

The ministry is against branches of magic they deem unacceptable but what is unacceptable for them is magic that is needed to learn if you live with everyone being against you. Which Ramona does. With Lucius's ability to kidnap her so easily she duel practices with Werewolf comrades more and Ramona hardly leaves without another Werewolf with her.

Ramona meets Lucius with Damon and refuses to meet anyone alone. Ramona now has a second wand located on her thigh. Dragon hide uniforms have become popular for anyone with the Galleons. Ramona purchased such uniform with the Galleons from James, casual wear over the uniform hides it.

When Ramona lands after the portkey is activated she growls and has her wand in preparation for a fight.

"Ramona, hi," says Lily hesitantly.

Ramona doesn't lower her wand, she takes a slight sniff to confirm it's Lily. It's Lily. After testing the others she relaxes and lowers her wand.

"Hi," says Ramona, in quite a tense menacing voice.

They look at each other in concern over Ramona's behaviour.

"Hey Moony, it's been a while. I'm glad you could come tonight," says James, trying to stop the tension. To James Ramona has changed, changed more into what Werewolves are described as by the ministry.

Ramona nods her head at Prongs and can't help but smirk. James grabs a chocolate frog out of his pocket and throws it towards Ramona. Ramona catches and eats the frog in one go. When the chocolate hits her system she smiles in thanks.

Sirius seeing this smile makes him relieved. Sirius was concerned when Ramona first entered, Sirius rushes over and brings Ramona into a hug.

"Hey Rem." whispers Sirius.

With a slight exasperated sigh Ramona returns the hug. Ramona forgot how much Sirius loves hugging. It hurts Ramona how casual they are all acting, with the battles and pain it aggravates her they can just turn off the misery and pretend that everything is fine.

The five them move inside the house, which Ramona realises is a Potter property.

The conversation is casual and not important, no one wanting to express too many thoughts on the current state of the Magical world. After everyone is finished with dinner Ramona though loses her patience and asks why a meeting was called. Everyone looks to Ramona, only Peter seems to be in agreement.

"Yes please do tell for I'm needing to see my mum, sorry" adds Peter.

James looks to Lily questioning her, Lily nods to James's silent question.

"Lily is pregnant," announces James.

Ramona eyes widen in surprise, surprise they are allowing such information to escape, Ramona thinks this is foolish.

"This isn't something you've announced to the Order, is it?" asks Ramona in slight anger.

James starts blushing, "Er ..."

Clearly indicating that yes they did. Ramona stands up, "Congratulations, I have to leave now though."

"Wait ... this isn't the only news we have to share. We're going under the Fidelius Charm, to protect the baby. This was also a meeting to perform the spell. The first step we need is a secret keeper."

Being a spy for Dumbledore and mixing up with the likes of Lucius and other Werewolf's makes Ramona hesitant to be given such responsibility.

"I personally think Siri," announces James.

Lily frowns slightly for she thinks Severus would be perfect but with the target on his head James isn't sure Severus is a good option.

"I would be seen as the perfect person, that's why I don't think I should be chosen. I'm already a target for being a Auror," says Sirius, then a smirk comes on his face, "Peter, they wouldn't expect it. It would be the perfect decoy!" adds Sirius.

Ramona tries and reads Peter thoughts to see what he thinks of this, nothing. He is closed off. This isn't surprising Ramona though, because it's a common thing that is occurring now for protection. Severus would have been a perfect decoy if he didn't show his position at James and Lily's wedding.

After a long debate, yelling back and forth. Peter is chosen as the Secret keeper. Ramona won't admit it but she is glad she hasn't been given such Responsibility. After the ritual Ramona starts to leave but is stopped by Sirius, outside the gate.

"Rem ... Can you believe it? There will be a little Prongslet. I still can't believe it."

Sirius's eyes in the moonlight looks more silver then the grey blue they usually are, so much emotion. Sirius with out meaning to projects images of himself being a father.


I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
