1 Like a Pet? Chapter 5
"Excuse me Minister, I won't be in work for awhile. I've come down with the flu."
"What's that?"
"A muggle disease that's very contagious. I wouldn't want to infect the others at work."
"Alright. I'll send some work to you. Percy will give it to you."
"If you could send Black's file with him sir that would be great."
"Alright." Fudge disappeared out of the fire.
"Thank you very much Black. I'm home and I still have to do work." He came out of the bathroom, with his face covered in shaving cream and a razor in hand.
"Did you ask for my file?"
"Yes. Do you think there is any chance of you being found innocent?"
"Not really. I already know what I need to be found innocent."
"And that would be?"
"Pettigrew."
"But you killed him."
"No I didn't." He told me the whole story of what really happened on Halloween 14 years ago. "He's crawling around, being the little rodent he is, and doing Voldemort's business." I flinched when he said You-Know-Who's name. "Why did you flich?" He said it in that tone of voice that makes you want to cower and hide in a mouse hole.
"Because you said You-Know-Who's name." I squeaked out.
"Say his name."
"No, I was brought up not saying his name." He walked up to me and towered a whole foot over me.
"Say his name."
"Vol.I can't."
"Say it!"
"I can't!" I screamed back, being more frightened then when I first saw him.
"VOLDEMORT!" I covered my ears and closed my eyes. I heard a pop in the fireplace and jumped. Black whipped around to see who was there.
"Am I interrupting something?" Remus asked, looking at the two of us. I sat down on the couch, almost in tears.
"No, just trying to get her to say Voldemort."
"Don't torment the poor girl. She's probably had enough to scar her for life." Remus looked at me with concern. "Should I tell Dumbledore that she knows who you are now?"
"Sure, why not."
"Is there anything I can get you Michelle?" I looked up at Remus.
"I can't think of anything."
"Alright, well I guess that will be it. I just wanted to check up on Sirius. By the way, what are you doing home from work?"
"Being held hostage." Remus looked at Sirius.
"I have to trust her. She works for the Ministry!"
"You wouldn't turn him in would you?"
"I don't know." I felt really bad. I couldn't even trust myself. See what men do to you! They create havoc! They're worthless.
"Okay. Well I'll tell Albus, and I'll check back up with you guys tomorrow." The fire popped and Remus' head was no longer there.
"I'm going to bed." I said getting off the couch and heading to my bedroom.
"But it's only 10 am!"
"I don't care!"
A:N// Okay, well it's really short. Sorry, but I can't write much cuz our teachers are piling all kinds of stuff on us. I'll write the next chapter and hopefully get it out around Christmas or New Years.
