New chapter yay,
Anyway enjoy
Several months had passed since the Malfoy's Ball, bring the summer holidays to them. The rest of school had been rather incident free, with only Sirius having the rest of the Marauders keep a distance from Kaira, Draco and Hermione.
Kaira and Draco spent nights running through the Chamber of Secrets while Hermione was communicating with Newt Scamander. Who was more then excited to hear about the Basilisk and telling them he would rather they not kill it but if it was unavoidable he would find away and let them know.
Hermione and Draco had snooped around the Gaunt shack several times in hopes of finding the ring, but hadn't found anything as of yet. Kaira with the help of Alphard had scouted out Bellatrix's vault entrance but deciding it wasn't the best of time to try and break into it.
It was the middle of July and the three where taking a day to rest, Alphard had managed to convince them all that they needed to settle things down for a couple of days.
He had received an invitation from Grace and Harold Potter inviting them over for dinner. Alphard readily accepted after hearing about Sirius running away from home he wanted to see his nephew.
Alphard had been standing down stairs for nearly half an hour with Draco waiting on Hermione and Kaira to get ready, Kaira come down first wearing a pair of skinny leg jeans and a loose fitting shirt.
Hermione came down shortly after looking unsure of herself, she was wearing a green sundress she looked uncomfortable. Draco's eyes went wide as he took Hermione in, she was dressed in his house colours and it looked good on her. Hermione rolled her eyes at Kaira obvious not amused that the Black heiress managed to play dress up with her.
Alphard apparated them too the Potter manor giving them a small smile as he walked up the path to front door giving the bell a quick ring. Grace potter came quickly to the door beaming at them.
"Oh Darling's welcome. Come in come in" Grace greeted them as she ushered them in. "Harold, Alphard and the children are here" Grace called up the stairs of the manor. The Potter manor looked completely different to that of the Black manor, while everything in the Black manor is decorated in dark colours with the constant underling tone of Pure blood supremacy.
The Potter manor was the complete opposite it was light an airy, it walls where light and colourful with family pictures littering the walls everywhere. Grace ushered them down a corridor off to the left of the stairs opening the door to a large kitchen dinning area where a few house elves where walking around.
"Mipsy, Dobly these are our guests for the night. Meet Alphard and his daughter Kaira and her friends Hermione and Draco" Grace introduced, the two house elves rushed forward with smiles bright on their faces.
"Nice to meet you's Sir's and Madam's. Lady Grace has been so excited for you's to come tonight she's been over working herself in the kitchen all day and wont let any of us help" Mipsy complained as she looked towards Grace. Grace merely laughed as she looked at the house elf with affection.
"The boys are outside practicing Quidditch, if you would like to go and join them children" Grace said as she pointed out a set of French doors that lead out onto a patio. In the distance they could see two figures speeding through the air. Draco perked up a bit, he hadn't played Quidditch in a long time seeing as both Hermione and Kaira where not very fond of it.
Draco led the way down a path to the back of the garden which opened into a big paddock. Which was set up in as a make shift quidditch pitch, which oodles reminded both Hermione and Kaira of the pitch at the Weasley. Above them James and Sirius where flying though the air practicing what looks like plays for Quidditch.
A few feet from where they had come into the open Remus sat legs spread out in front of him with a book in hand. The Trio headed over to Remus more cautiously, he looked up as he heard them approach tho, he had known they where here from the moment the door bell had rung. The full moon only being a few days away and other growth spirt had brought forth his senses more strongly.
"Hey" He offered them as they approached.
They offered their own greetings as took a seat down one the grass close to Remus. Draco took only a few seconds to leave where he had sat and picked up the spare broom that laid off to the side. He took off to join the other boys.
"Have you had a good summer Remus?" Hermione questioned.
"It's been a fairly relaxing one. I think the most stressful time was getting my O.W.L's results. How about you? Been up to anything interesting?" Remus gave a small smile as he looked at both the girls but his eyes held longer on Kaira's. All both girls could thing was if only he knew what they had been up too.
"It's been fairly busy honestly sorting out a lot of things from home and everything like that" Hermione lied easily.
"Yeh, its been hectic" Kaira mumbled as she leaned back on the grass. Soaking up the late afternoon sun.
"Where's Peter?" Hermione asked, Kaira suppressed a shiver as she honestly never gave the rat much thought.
"Oh his family have gone over seas for the summer they wont be back until just before school started" Remus explained. Hermione gave Kaira a look, before looking over to where Draco was calling her name. Hermione heaved a sigh as she got to her feet and moved out into the middle of the pitch.
Silence surrounded Kaira and Remus as they looked out across they grass as Draco and Hermione talked.
"He likes her you know" Kaira told Remus softly as she watched the two. While Draco and her had become closer she had known long before this that he had a thing for Hermione.
"She doesn't see to trust him very much" Remus stated as he turned his head to Kaira.
"No I don't imagine she would they have never really be friend's I guess at the moment she tolerates him because of our situation. But he wasn't very nice to her in out earlier year's. His family used to be supports of You Know Who and he was forced into believing it" Kaira told him, "then they didn't want to be involved anymore, because the Death Eaters wanted to use him for something and his parents wanted out"
"How do know you can trust him?" Remus questioned her, ever since hearing from Sirius about what had happened at the Christmas ball he had wondered about how much of it was not exaggerated because knowing Sirius he has a tendency to do that.
"I just know" Kaira smiled secretly at Remus, she knew she couldn't tell him that the reason she knew she could trust him was because he was helping her bring down Voldemort.
"Sirius told us about what happened at the winter ball, and that you guys seemed to have some sort of operation going on" Remus stated. "He seems to think that your plotting something but he also doesn't understand why you acted the way you did"
"Where I was before here. It was bad the war. A lot of people die, a lot of other are scared for life by what they had to see and do. I want to help bring an end to the war and if this means I have to rub shoulders to get information or pretend to be something Im not then I will" Kaira told him.
"But it's dangerous, why would you need to do this when there are Auror's out there for this specific reason?" Remus nearly exclaimed, his wolf going on high alert as he realised what she had said.
"Because it's why we are here" Kaira told him softly not daring to look at him.
"That's so wrong, you aren't even of age yet and your expected to fight in a war that isn't your's" Remus growled out as his anger started to rise.
"You don't understand Remus, I've been trained most of my life for war and this war is already my war. I made a promise to my mother that I would end this war and it's what I'm going to do" Kaira muttered soft to him as she moved closer to him. She didn't want to draw the other attention knowing that if they noticed Remus anger it would cause problems. She didn't need James and Sirius knowing about this.
"Your mother was wrong to ask this of you. She shouldn't have made you promise this it was wrong" Remus continued to growl.
"She trusted me enough to continue on her work, I don't want to disappoint her" Kaira mumbled softly, she felt Remus' hand pulling hers from her lap and brought it to his own.
"Then I want to help" Remus told her, Kaira gave a small smile.
"You already are" Kaira smiled more as she looked up him, "I know I can trust you when I tell you something"
Remus smiled brightly at this his wolf feeling elated with the comment, hearing her say she could trust him made his heart swell. He moved closer to her before bring her legs over his lap and letting her head rest on his shoulder.
"You help me forget that there is a war" Kaira mumbled. They sat in silence for a long time, the sun had begun to set and the boys and Hermione had moved from the pitch towards them.
Sirius and James kept their distance from Kaira which in many ways she understood as they headed for the Manor.
Once they where inside Grace got them to wash up before seating them at the table Kaira was more then happy when she was seated next to Remus.
Sneakily she grabbed his hand from under the table and brought in onto her lap deciding to be daring as they all began eating.
The conversation was soft both Alphard and Harold keeping their distance from work related topic's, Grace went through and asked each of the children how they did in their O.W.L's they seemed astonished when Hermione told them she got 11 Outstandings. Kaira and Draco shared a glance, sure it was easy to get so many O's when you've sat the test before.
They had just started dessert when there was a knock at the door, Grace jumped up out of her seat offering them all a smile as she darted down toward it.
"Oh Albus what a surprise" Grace's voice echo'd down, "come, come join us we are just sitting down for dessert"
"I'm afraid Grace, that I'm not here for pleasure" Albus told her as they walked back down the hall towards them. Harold was out of his seat greeting Dumbledore at the door.
"Good to see you again Albus" Harold greeted
"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but I have just come from the ministry. It's been attacked" Dumbledore explained to them as he moved further into the room. Alphard got out of his seat.
"This isn't good" Alphard said, "Stay here until I get back kids. Harold do you mind if I use to floo?"
"Of course, I'll come with you. Albus make yourself comfortable, well talk when I return" Harold said to the older man as he directed Alphard to the floo. Albus looked at Grace then at Kaira, Hermione and Draco.
"Grace if you wouldn't mind I would like to talk to Draco, Kaira and Hermione for a moment alone" Albus gave the women a small smile. Grace nodded as she gestured for the four of them to follow her, she led them down another corridor of the side of the kitchen to a small sitting room. Once she had closed the door Dumbledore waved his wand placing a silencing charm on the room.
"Has this happened in your time?" This was one of the first times Dumbledore had directly asked them something about the future.
"Yes' but they over threw the Minister in our time" Hermione told him.
"It is as I suspected. There is a possibility that your presence in this time zone is going to cause events from your time to come into this one" Dumbledore explained to them.
"That means this war is going to get worse then" Draco said as he looked at the two girls.
"Do you know what they where doing at the Ministry?" Kaira questioned as she sat down on one of the love seats near a small book shelf.
"From the information I got, they where going through the records room. Specifically the Wand's registration" Dumbledore told her.
Hermione's eyes went wide as she looked to Draco and Kaira. Did they realise what the Death Eaters where probably looking for. If events from there time where going to be coming here then that would me Voldemort would eventually be going after the Elder Wand in Dumbledore possession.
"Do the three of you know what he would be after?" Dumbledore asked , the three of them looked at each other. Weighing up the risk of telling Dumbledore that his life was at risk but knowing that he would have to die in order to do what need to be done.
"There are several possibilities, but we will need to gather more information before we can know what he's after" Hermione answered calculatingly, it wasn't that she didn't trust Dumbledore it was knowing that his death had an affect on the wizarding community that made it stronger.
"Maybe its time to talk to some of your wolf contacts Kaira" Draco muttered to her, Kaira merely nodded as she stood from the lounge.
"Wouldn't hurt, I'll have to track him down tonight tho. I can't leave it for after the full moon he'll go into hiding after it" Kaira told them as she headed for the small window. "Stay with the Potter's until Alphard gets back. Cover for me"
She easily unlocked the window and slipped out, without another word to them. Hermione and Draco merely speared a glance to each other before turning to look toward's Dumbledore.
"Oh Miss Granger, congratulations on your 11 Outstandings quiet a feat" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he looked at her.
"Thank you Professor" Hermione tried not to smile as she looked at him.
"Now I do believe that I interrupted dessert, shouldn't we all go have some of Grace Potter's famous chocolate cake" Dumbledore said as he released the silencing charm on room and headed out the door. It only took a few seconds before Hermione and Draco where following after him ready too meet all the questions from the three Marauders about what Dumbledore wanted and where Kaira had disappeared too.
After slipping out the window, Kaira walked far enough away from the Potter Manor to apparat that she wouldn't be hear. She headed home first, changing out of her clothes into something more suitable for the Werewolf bar she would be heading too. She pulled out a pair of tight leather pants and a leather crop top that held a lot of memories from the years of wore.
When Dumbledore had asked Remus to go to the Werewolf communities to get support and information, going to the Werewolf bar was one of the only ways Kaira was able to see him. Sneaking out of Hogwart wasn't hard even with the Carrow's they didn't know about the hidden passages.
Once she was in the bar she soon realised that the clothing originally wore made her stand out too much. Many of those in the bar were either wolves and mate of wolves and the dress code was leather for them.
She pulled the clothing on struggling a bit with the pants not realising she had put on a bit of weight, as she pulled a black leather jacket from her back she smiled softly, it was one of Sirius's jackets she had taken from his room. In the back of her mind she wondered if he had it with him now or was it something he brought later.
Kaira fixed her hair letting it hang loosely and then moved to her arm she knew she wouldn't be able to get into the bar without taking of the spell covering the Marking. It was a club where wolves could be more in touched with that side of themselves without being judged.
She waved her wand over the spot of the Mark feeling relieved as the magic lifted, she always felt weird knowing it was there but not seeing it like it was wrong not having it on display. Kaira gave herself one last look in the mirror before she headed back down the stairs and outside to the apparition point. Letting out a slow breath she knew this would be a big risk going to this contact its why she had left it so long before going to him but she knew she couldn't put it off anymore.
Letting the air rush out of her lung as she apparated she appeared in a darkly lit street which was deserted to those who didn't know better. A short distance in front of her there was a set of old industrial buildings that had seen better days.
Even in her time they looked better then they did now. The windows where broken, kids had spray painted the sides, Kaira walked quickly through the street knowing better to hang around.
As she got closer to the building she could to the dark outline of two men standing outside one of the buildings smoking something that defiantly wasn't a muggle cigarette.
The heard her approach long before they saw her, neither of them moved much as she moved towards the door but she could see their eyes flick down to her exposed arm her Mark radiating to other Werewolves that she was well and truly untouchable.
Their eyes flashed yellow as they wield to the knowledge, Kaira pushed through the door automatically feeling the heavy atmosphere coming down on her. The room smelled a mix of sex, alcohol and vomit a smell she knew almost too well.
As Kaira walked into the more opened area which consisted of the bar and dance for with seating surrounding and more private rooms up on the second level. The music was considerably low but knowing that a werewolves hearing is more sensitive before a full moon it was understandable.
Kaira headed for the bar getting a drink as she looked over the dance floor watching as several couples danced close together and a few just dancing because they could. As she sipped on her fire-whisky and was aware of several sets of eyes on her watching her every move.
While she knew she was relatively safe for the time being she also knew this was one of the places that Fenrir Greyback often visited. Which meant that her time was limited especially if there had been a mission for the death eaters he would no doubt be there to celebrate.
"You're a bit far from home aren't you little witch" a rough voice whispered into her ear breaking her out of her thoughts. A shiver ran down her spine at this voice, one she knew well but not for a bad reason.
"I don't believe I am really" Kaira told him trying to keep her voice unaffected.
"That's true you dress as if you've been here before but I know for sure that you haven't" The man whispered again, "Unless of course the Black Heiress has a secret life that none in her family knew about"
Kaira tried not to feel alarmed about that, how did he know who she. Trying to keep her composure as much as possible she turned to the man. In front of her stood a man at an impressive 6'5" with shoulder length brown hair and nearly a months worth of unshaven facial hair.
"Maybe she's been looking for someone Alister Greyback" he wasn't as good a concealing his as she was. Alister's eyebrows shot up as he looked at her.
"Not many people know my name outside the wolf community, I don't know weather I should feel honoured or worried that a family such as yours knows my name" Alister told her honestly.
"I doubt any of my other family took enough time to find about werewolves to know that Fenrir had a son, but I have incredibly good sources" Kaira informed him as she waved the bar tender down for another drink.
"And why do I have the honour of such a powerful women in my bar?" Alister inquired as he ordered a drink of his own.
"Maybe that is something we would be able to discuss in a more private setting" Kaira said as she looked around the bar looking at the wolves that had become too interested in their conversation.
"Very well then, please follow me to my office then" Alister led the way past the bar and down a dank corridor to a room at the very end of the corridor. Kaira had no reserve about following him, she knew he wouldn't have attacked her in the future she trusted that he wouldn't do the same now.
Once they where in the small office with a small desk in the middle and chair's sitting directly in front of her like something out of the small ministry offices she had visited during the time after her fathers escape from Azkaban. Alister gestured for her to have a seat before seating himself behind the desk.
"What is it that you wanted to discuss Lady Black?" Alister asked as he leaned forward on his elbows to look at her.
"Families are fun aren't they, they want you to be one thing but you want to be something different. Surely your father didn't want you to be owning a bar and thriving when so many werewolves are prosecuted for merely existing" Kaira started as she looked at him.
"My father, has very little say on my life. He may have made me what I am but I get a choice in what I want to be in my like" Alister told her a little bit to defensively.
"So you don't agree with your father views then?"
"No, I believe that one day werewolves will be treated as equals. There doesn't need to be a war for that the happen"
Kaira sat back in her chair and smirked, the Alister from her time had said the same thing. Though his language then was more vulgar then this Alister.
"There will be a war tho, a lot of people will end up dying at the hand of your father and those he chooses to aline himself with" Kaira explained to Alister her smirk sliding of her face.
"It's not my war to fight"
"Not yet, but after the You Know Who had finished going after the muggles and muggle borns, he'll turn his attention to half breed like yourself and the vampires. Your father wont stand a chance and neither will you"
"What are you getting at? You sound like your trying to sell me something"
"Your father is apart of HIS inner circle, he knows what HE'S looking for and he gets a lot of information about their missions and things like that"
"Yeh, so he brags about that stuff all the time. He spends nights in the bar talking about the people he's killed or maimed. I hate hearing about it, or knowing its going to happen"
Alister shuddered at this, pain apparent on his face as he looked at her.
"What if you could save lives?" Kaira asked more softly, "What if you could help stop terrible things from happening to innocent people?"
"Yeh and risk getting myself killed. Sounds so smart and what are you going to do your only a kid still at Hogwarts" Alister nearly sneered at her. But Kaira didn't flinch she merely stared at him.
"I've faced death several times and lived, you don't scare me, I also know you wouldn't hurt me. It's not in your nature" Kaira stated.
"With all your lovely word play you still haven't told me what you want from me?" Alister looked slightly annoyed at her as he drawled sarcastically.
"All I want is for you to get information for me, that all really. There was an attack on the ministry this evening and people responsible focused their attention on the wand registration files. I want to know what they were looking for" Kaira explained to him.
"No, I'm not getting in the middle of the war. Its not my problem"
"How long do you think it will be before your father comes asking you to join his crusade to make the wizarding community fear werewolves and watch all your hard work go down the drain because he's your alpha. Or is it more how long until they find out about your wife and baby that you've kept hidden, surely Fenrir wont be happy to know that your own child doesn't possess the werewolf gene"
Alister's face took a few seconds to change from shock to rage, no one was meant to know about his wife and son it was a closely guarded secret to those he did know. His wolf roar within him as the threat sunk in more.
"I don't like threats Black" Alister roar at her, again Kaira didn't flinch.
"I wasn't threatening them, you know yourself it is only a matter of time before Fenrir finds out about them help me bring them down and I'll help keep your family safe"
"All I have to do is pass you information, I don't have to fight or get involved in anyway?" Alister growled at her.
"Of course and I can give you the location of a safe house that will be a good place to hide your family" Kaira informed him softly.
"I need time to think this through" Alister sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Of course" Kaira stood reaching into her pocket and pulling out a coin she placed in on his desk. "When your ready to talk flip it in the air and I'll come here"
At that she left him, heading straight out the door and out of the bar still feeling several set of eyes watching her leave, the same to men eyed her one she exited the door and headed for the apparition spot.
Once she apparated home she wasn't surprised that no one was home still, she imagined that Alphard would be at the ministry till early in the morning at the very least. She quickly change out of her clothes and putting on what she had on before.
Kaira apparated back to the Potter's manor and crawled back in through the small window hoping whatever lie Hermione and Draco had managed to come up was good one.
As she closed the window she heard someone take a deep breath from behind her. Jumping in surprise she turned to come face to face with an extremely pissed off werewolf.
