************ He walked down the shadowy halls and into the corridor. He stopped, he had almost forgotten that that old hag's portrait was down here, he made to go back up the long way, when he noticed that the portrait was empty.
"Hey!" said a voice behind him "That old hags gone, Oy Sirius! Get up here!"
"Hi Arthur, Bill" said Remus, turning round to face Arthur Weasly and his eldest offspring
"Hello Remus, just came down here to see if there were any more doxies hiding in the curtains..." said Arthur.
There was a sound of footsteps approaching, then Sirius burst in through the door.
"What's wrong?" he asked, apparently happy that something was finally happening
"Ya mums pulled a houdini on us"
Sirius glanced around at the portrait, then his face split into a wide grin.
"Really? Hallelujah!!! That old bitch is gone"
"Yeah... gone where?" asked Remus
"Great way to spoil the mood, Moony-Mr-everything-has-to-be-perfect-for-me"
Remus rolled his eyes and spotted Kreacher randomly dusting the curtains.
"Kreacher, do you know where your mistress is?"
Kreacher looked at Remus like he was a slug.
"Kreacher does not spill his mistresses secrets, Kreacher is a good elf who pays no attention to filthy half-breeds, no, Kreacher is a good elf."
Remus rolled his eyes and glanced at Sirius, who looked like he was going to explode.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT REMUS YOU NASTY LITTLE BUGGER!!!" he yelled
"Sirius-" Remus started
"Kreacher doesn't listen to nasty ungrateful swine like master, Kreacher is loyal to the Noble House of Black"
"Which is getting blacker every day" said Sirius
Bill, Arthur and Remus rolled their eyes and groaned, they only head that one fifty times a day
"Master enjoys his little joke, master was an-"
"Ungrateful swine who broke his mothers heart" chorused the four, "WE KNOW!!!"
"Mistress has another portrait, and Kreacher doesn't blame her for getting away from you filthy half-breeds and blood-traitors" and with that he went back to dusting the curtains.
"Aww, that means she's coming back someday" said Bill unhappily
"Well, not all dreams come true boys." said Arthur with a smile
"Filthy blood traitors, desecrating the house of my fathers!"
"Speak of the devil" said Sirius
Remus rolled his eyes and left to start on some paperwork.
***************************
Remus woke up suddenly and clasped his hand to his searing head.
Why did his head hurt so much?
Oh yeah, he was in a SILVER CELL!!!
WHY had he had such a wierd dream?
Oh yeah, he had stayed up most of the night listening to Agatha Black yell about filthy half-beeds and dirty blood-traitors and vice versa.
"Hey Remus!" he looked up to Daniels grinning face
"Oh, hi Daniel" he said faintly, wishing he was dead.
"You o.k? we stayed up most of the night trying to make that madwoman go away, she only just dissapeared a few hours ago" said Mary.
"I'm fine"
"Sure you are," said Joe with a laugh "Apparently, staying in a silver cell doesn't do much for your health"
"What I don't understand is why they put you in the silver cell and not bad- boy Daniel" said Jesse thoughtfully
"Yeah..." said Daniel, a little confused "I mean, most of us were here when we transformed a few weeks ago..."
"You've been here HOW long?" asked Remus worriedly
"Three weeks and five days" said Daniel "Then Ros came in a few days after me, Then Jesse, then there was a full moon, then Maddy came and now you. Everyone else came in before me."
"I've been here longest," said Will "Five weeks"
"Anyhow," continued Daniel "The others all chose me as the Alpha male, and Toby is Beta, so you'd think they'd put me in the silver cell instead."
"Maybe Remus has been a naughty boy in the past" Said E.B. with a laugh
"So, Remy, ya bite anyone?" asked Theodosius.
"If that was all it took to get into the silver cell," said Joe "I'd have been his cellmate since the beginning"
Aaron rolled his eyes "Introducing Joe Hurst, Guiltmaster of the century" He said in a mock-bored tone. "We've tried telling him it wasn't his fault, but his hearing appears to have been damaged during his transformations."
"Oh shut-up" said Joe.
"So Remy," continued Theodosius, ignoring Joe and Aaron "Ya kill anyone?"
"No, but I did attack someone once, but they were completely unharmed"
"Who?" asked Toby
"Snivellus- I mean Severus Snape" said Remus, earning a few giggles from several wizards.
"Well, I was thinking if It'd been Umbridge, or Malfoy, or one of their friends..."
"Yeah I know... but Umbridge really hates me, Harry told me that she's been ranting about their old dangerou half-breed-teacher-who-ought-to-be-put- down a lot"
"My Brother said you're the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Hogwarts ever had, and that Umbridge is an old cow" Said Maddy gleefully
Most of the werewolves laughed at this, but not Theodosius, who was apparently the classic 'enemy among the pack'(and who was still asleep)
Suddenly the door swung wide open and banged against the wall, Flack strode in, followed by Meddle- ('Our very own Clay brothers said Brittany with a smirk, at which the muggles laughed at, except Jenkin (and Theodosius, who was asleep)- Followed by, surprisingly, Dolores Umbridge (Our very own Miss Hee-she Martinez,* said Brittany, at which E.B. laughed)
"Dolores!" said Remus with an abundance of fake happiness "How really corking to see you!"** he exclaimed with a fake grin. Several of the others bit their lips to contain their laughter.
"Hello Remus" said Umbridge, with a nasty sneer "Hope your unwell"
"Oooh, unwell! Brilliant insult, you should quit now Remus, and spare yourself the embarrasment"
"Didn't you read the villain handbook?" asked Adam "You say hope your well, to your enemy, not hope your unwell-"
"Silence!" snapped Umbridge, silencing the previous giggles. "I have come here to tell you how you will spend your time here at the ministry"
"Listening to you rant on about how we should all be put down?" asked Mary
"No, we'll be moved instantly to the best rooms money can by and live a life of leisure" Said Will sarcastically
"Or maybe we be horribly tortured till we disfigured beyond recognition" Said Nacho
"Close," said Umbridge with a nasty grin "But you wont be joining in the little party, spainyard... unfortunately we're here to release you immeadiatley-"
"YEAH!!!" yelled the other werewolves "GO NACHO!"
"Silence!" snarled Umbridge. The others watched as Nacho was led away by Flack and Meddle.
"Bye Nacho..." said Maddy sadly
"Adios Madline, good luck... and if any of you are ever in Seville, look me up!"
"I don't think they will be." Said Umbridge nastily, as the door closed, leaving the rest of their hopes considerabley lower.
"And as for the rest of you..." she glanced at the remaining prisoners "hmm... let's see..." she looked down at a clipboard.
"Theodosius Morton and Aaron Hester, You will be questioned on several suspicious acts you are connected to..."
"Suspicious acts?" asked Aaron, looking highly confused
"I thought his last name was Moron..." said Remus
Umbridge carried on as if she hadn't heard "Daniel Goodman, Toby Parsonage, Adam Clarke, Elisabeth Maskell, Joeseph Hurst-"
"It's JOE" yelled Joe
"-Mary Driscoll, Brittany... uhh Che- She- Chee-"
"Chemalewski"*** said Brittany in a bored tone, obviously she got that a lot.
"- whatever... Isabelle Attefield, Jesse Smoke, Sophie and Alexander Hewitt, Jenkin Lloyd and Madeline Goodyer... will be held for scientific research"
"What, no questioning for suspicious acts?" asked Daniel in a mock-offended voice
"I knew we were going to be guinea pigs" said Toby sadly
Umbridge droned on like an imitation of professor Binns
"Rosalind Bullman and William Middleton will be held for both questioning and research-"
"At least I have a great partner" said Will sarcastically, while Ros made no move what-so-ever
"That will be all" said Umbridge, msking to moving away
"What about Remus?!" Yelled Daniel
"Yeah, shouldn't he be moved to my cell now Nacho's gone?" asked Toby.
Remus felt a rush of gratitude towards the two
"Ummm... No..." Giggled Umbridge, as if that was the most ridiculous idea in the world.
"What d'ya mean no?" asked Mary suspiciously
"Oh, don't you know?" said Umbridge, like they were all complete idiots for not knowing.
"Uhh... Nooo..." said E.B impatiently
"Well!" said Umbridge, clapping her hands together "We thought we'd make him as uncomfortable as possible before his death."
"Uhhh, did I miss something?" asked Isabelle "His death?"
"Yes!" exclaimed Umbridge happily "We thought we'd ask him a few questions first, but ten days from now...He'll be executed"
"WHAT?!" yelled several people
"Heh heh...I'm sorry Umbridge" said Isabelle worriedly "but I thought you said you were going to execute him- for a minute there"
"You heard me correctly" said Umbridge, smiling sweetly "He's going to be executed"
The other werewolves made goldfish-mouth motions and started making several movements and then taking them back
"Y-yy-you c-can't" said Mary
"No-way in hell-" began Will
"What does execute mean?" asked the twins, simultaneosly
Umbridge smile grew bigger, but the disgust in her eyes was completely transparent to anyone who looked.
"Execute is when we dispose of nasty dangerous criminals like Remus Lupin, darlings" she said, sneering slightly on the last word
"But Remus isn't a crim-iminal" said Maddy "He shouldn't be execu-cuted" (Remus noticed Maddy tended to use some syllables in bigger words twice)
"He is, and an extremly deadly horrible one" she said, nastily
Remus had been so shocked at the recent devlopment of events that he had not yet voiced his thoughts on his recent execution-to-be, however he soon figured that he should have expected something like this, and soon only one question remained
"Why am I being executed?" He asked, perfectly calm
Umbridge seemed highly taken aback by Remus' lack of pre-death horror, but answered his question all the same.
"Well, Lupin... You're being executed for your espionnage, under the employment of one, Albus Dumbledore... also for your attack on Severus Snape twenty years ago... but mostly for aiding the notorius murderer, Sirius Black, in practically every crime he ever comitted" She smiled.
Well that answered it.
He was vaguely aware of Daniel, colourfully yelling at Umbridge. And Isabelle saying that this was some of biggest load of bull she'd ever heard.
But Remus knew that the others would probably get in to more trouble than ever if they carried on, so he decided to clear a few things up.
"Well, I don't deny that I served as a spy for Albus Dumbledore... nor that I attacked Severus Snape, twenty years ago (Though it was quite involuntary) and as for Sirius Black... well, yes! I did infact aid him in every crime he committed throughout his life... so I suppose you're right Dolores"
The other werewolves gaped at him silently, except Ros, who probably hadn't noticed that the earth moved around the sun on a regular basis yet. And Jesse, who had looked heavily concerned at Remus' sentance, but gave a little smile at his explanation (And Theodosius, who was still asleep)
Dolores gave a small exclamation of surprise, then left in a complete huff.
"Oy Remus..." said Will, turning around to face him "You don't think they'll really execute you? do you?" he sounded quite concerned
"I wouldn't put it past Umbridge and Malfoy, Will" said Remus cheerfully
"But he's... she's...I mean" Stuttered Aaron, apparently lost for words.
"I should've expected something like this anyway" said Remus, regretting he'd ever been born.
"But... Why?"
"As I said, Umbridge really doesn't like me"
"And you really..." asked Mary uncertainly
"Aided Sirius Black in all his many crimes? Yeah." he finished for her.
"Oh... I thought you just said that to keep Daniel out of trouble-"
"Hey!" shouted Daniel "I stick up fer my mates!"
"And I've been known to try and keep my friends out of trouble." Smiled Remus "Sirius Black and I have been friends since our days at Hogwarts, he and my other best friend got in to so much trouble..." He smiled again
He could see they were about to interrogate him, so he decided to answer before they got the chance.
"Of course, I only say that I aided him in his crimes because he never committed any crimes, he was framed..."
He waited a while for the others to take this in
"So that old cow in the picture is his mother?" Asked E.B
"Yeah..." said Remus
E.B giggled "She reminded me of my old french teacher, Madame Lloyd" She said with a shudder, quickly adding "No offence Jenkin"
"None taken" said the Black-haired boy, smiling
A sudden commotion arose in Will's cell
"Wha- whasshh 'appenin" drawled Theodosius, who appeard to have finally woken up.
"Whaad I mish" He yawned
"Oh, Just Nacho getting released and Remus getting a death sentance" said Toby with a bit of a sneer
"Oh, Okay" said Theo, and with that he went back to sleep
"Considerate little bastard ent' he" snapped Adam
"ADAM!" Said Brittany "The children!"
"Oh, sorry kids!" said Adam hastily "What I just said, I didn't really say, and you should remove it from your memory immeadiately!"
"Daniel?" Asked Maddy, Ignoring Adam
"Yeah Mad-girl" said Daniel playfully
Maddy gave him a sour look, but only said "Will we escape before Remus is Execu-cuted?"
Daniel looked a little surprised, he frowned slightly and adopted a pensieve look, then strangely enough, a smile came over his face. He glanced at Remus before saying:
"You bet ya life we will!" he said cheerfully
"Don't say something like that!-" said Mary, but Maddy cut her off
"That's good, My brother Tim said that he was the best defence again-ainst the dark arts teacher he ever had!"
The Werewolves gave a little smile and Remus noticed that Daniels eyes had a look of confidence and hope in them.
Not fake hope, just to reassure a child.
Real hope.

RavenMirage: He doesn't get a break does he? poor Remus, It's so fun, causing him grief though! but I love him really! He's my favorite character! (meaning he's probably going to die in the next book) I too am lamenting his death, but don't worry reviewers, He wont die in this story! It's an AU!
Oh, and PLEASE! someone tell me how to get Italics to show up!!!
In this Chapter we will discover the real reason Remus and the others were brought here, What fate awaits our favorite werewolf and his new friends? (Not counting Theodosius)
