Oh my god! Chapter 4
Yay! I updated! Go me!!!
So now we see what happens during the first day at the werewolf holding centre, what scientific research was done to Daniel, Toby and the rest? Why were Aaron and Theo brought in for questioning? If Remus is being questioned, are Mack and Fleddle (Flack and Meddle) going to play nicely? (I don't think so)
Disclaimer: Still don't own them *Sigh* Sirius should not be dead! Oh well, he'll make an appearance in the next chapter.
Oh and ******************* = Dream/Memory, because I don't know how to do Italics

Chapter 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was strange that after only a few hours, Remus felt that he and the others had known each other for ages, like they were already a family.
Almost like when he met James, Peter and Sirius. He remembered meeting them on the train, then after about five years of him sitting with the sorting hat on his head, and the four of them being sorted into Gryffindor, it was like they'd been best friends all their lives.
In a way, a lot of his new friends reminded him of his old ones.
Daniel, Toby, Adam, Will and E.B were sort of like Sirius.
Joe, Aaron, and Brittany were sort of like James
Isabelle and Jesse reminded him of himself, they seemed to get the others out of any trouble they could.
Ros seemed to be a lot like that Larry Lovegood, who had sometimes been completely silent for days on end... His daughter was in Ginny Weasley's year group now, Remus remembered her, very good at the work when she actually put her mind to it.
Mary was an exact imitation of Lily.
The kids didn't really have characters yet, but he had a feeling they would soon enough.
And then of course, there was Theodosius. He reminded him of Severus.
The others were anticipating what was to come, the next time that door opened. No one had spoken for a while, so Mary jumped about a foot in the air when Daniel broke the silence.
"When we get taken away-"
"Ahh!"
"- Look for any signs of escape that can be used later on"
It was a pretty good idea, but somehow Remus thought it might be a bit harder to escape, than just finding a suitable route to take.
Suddenly, the door was thrown wide open, and Meddle, Flack, and a bunch of other cruel-looking trolls barged in.
They moved in pairs and stopped outside all the cells, (Remus was not over- joyed to see it was their very own Meddle and Flack who made their way to his cell)
Then, simultaneously, they opened the all the doors but Remus' and led the occupants away.
"Good luck guys!" he yelled after them
"Take care Remus" shouted Daniel
"And try an' stay outta trouble" added Isabelle
And with that, everyone was gone, and he was alone with Mack and Fleddle.
He really wished he could have gone with the others, who knew what was happening to them, and besides, he would do almost anything to get out of this silver cell.
Right now, however, he was more preoccupied with the fact that Lucius Malfoy had just stridden in to the room.
"So, Remus Lupin..." he said in a slimy cold voice "We meet at last."
"Really? So all six years we spent together at Hogwarts hasn't been included in your memory at all? I'm hurt"* Remus answered in a mock- offended tone.
"Remus, Remus, Remus...You've ruined my evil villain routine"
"Lucius, Lucius, Lucius..." Mocked Remus "You've ruined my life"
"I have?" Asked Malfoy, pretending to be surprised
"Yes... it wasn't my plan to die ten days from now... you've sort of ruined things for me" He said cheerfully
Lucius' eyebrows raised, but his eyes kept the same amused expression.
"Is that what Dolores told you? Well she lied, you're not going to be executed in ten days"
"Really?"
"Of course not, you're going to be executed in nine days."
"Ohhhhhhh" said Remus slowly "Thanks for clearing that matter up, I was starting to worry"
Malfoy decided to change the subject
"My son has told me all about you..." he said oily, with a smirk.
"I'm sure he has..." said Remus. Then Remus had a sudden inspiration (for what he wasn't exactly sure)"Your son was very good at defence against the dark arts when I taught him"
"Really?" Said Malfoy, suddenly becoming intrigued
"Yes, surprisingly good for someone his age, only Harry Potter and several Ravenclaw students were of the same standard... however, though his incantations were all correct, he seems to be a bit dependant on the idea of just holding something off until someone else comes to finish it. He starts things he doesn't finish too often, and doesn't stop to think about consequences"
"Yes...he does tend to..." Malfoy seemed to be shocked at just how much Remus knew about Draco... This was getting too strange for him...
"Moving on, I would very much like to know the whereabouts of Sirius Black"
Malfoy tended to change subjects a lot, Remus noticed.
"I'm afraid I can't help you there Lucius," Remus said calmly "Believe me, Severus Snape already tried, but as I told him... I haven't the foggiest where Black is"
"I've heard differently..."
He heard differently? Where the hell would he hear that from??
"Wha-what" he asked, nervously
"I have inside information, that you told your...uhh...inmates, that Sirius Black had not committed any crimes, and that you were still his best friend"
"What nutcase told you that?" was it possible they were being watched?
"None of your concern..." he said silkily "I'll ask you again, where is Sirius Black"
Remus pretended to think for a while. "Under a rock?" he said unconvincingly (it was especially unconvincing, what with him trying not to laugh and all)
Malfoy had one thing to say to that.
"Crucio!"
Just like when Mack and Fleddle had first taken him away, the pain hit him unexpectedly, however expecting he was.
He distantly heard Flack and Meddle howling with laughter, although, perhaps howling was too ironic for this situation.
It was practically indescribable, the pain. He felt even worse because the pain had made him lose his balance and end up on the sparkly silver floor
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*******************
He limped quietly out of the room.
He found it so hard to breathe... look on the positive side Remus, he told himself, one more week and you're back at Hogwarts, you won't have to worry about him anymore.
Ophelia rushed in to the room,
"Remus..." she said, taking in her brothers many wounds, and trying to hold back her tears, "Remus... there's somone to see you"
Someone to see him? who would want to see him?
Ophelia helped him to his room and set him down on the bed.
"You change, I'll bring them up here."
She left him alone, but only for a minute.
Soon the door opened, he vaguely heard his Mother outside "You shouldn't have called them Ophelia, if your father finds out" He could almost imagine her shaking her head as she looked dissaprovingly at... whoever...
"I had to get you two, I mean, my brother... my brothers, well you know"
Who was it? the door creaked, and...
"OH MY GOD" He knew that voice, oh dear.
"REMUS! WHAT THE HELL" Him too?
"Hello James, Sirius... nice of you to come by"
"Your sister called us, and I can see why..."
"Oh, well, you can't stay long... if my Father..."
"Niether can you Moony,"
"What do you mean?"
"We're here to rescue you dumbass!"
"But... you can't... your parents...the full moon's tomorrow and..."
"Screw that, my parents will understand, and Sirius will be there, and it's not like we're gonna leave you here... we're your friends, we always will be."
***********************************
Four hours later, Remus wasn't doing to well.
He hurt like hell, all over (especially his head) and was relieved when the door opened and another agent came in.
The agent had hair that looked like she washed it every day, but hadn't brushed it in about twenty years. It was a dirty brown, but it had platinum blond and baby pink streaks in it, which looked really awful. The agent was also extremely fat and due to his heightened werewolf senses, Remus could tell she had used a lot of cheap perfume to cover up the strong odour of cat faeces. She had also smudged on a ton of glitter to her cheeks.
This was not a good person, Remus decided, even her smell was awful.
"Mr Malfoy" she said in a stereotypical pop star wanna-be voice "Miss Umbridge wanted you to know that the research has been ended and most of the other specimens will be coming back"
"Thank you, agent Crockwell," he said in a 'you really shouldn't of bothered me, now you will die a horrible painful death' tone.
Agent Crockwell, much to Remus' relief, turned round and left.
Malfoy made to leave too, but suddenly turned back, and grabbed Remus' shoulder.
"You know, Lupin" He said threateningly "You could save yourself a lot of trouble, I could offer you an easy way out..."
"I know what you'd offer Malfoy" He replied coolly "And I'm afraid I must respectfully decline"
Malfoy sneered "I'd be more careful, if I were you. Things could go from bad to worse very quickly for you."
He touched Remus' chin with the tip of his silver serpent-head cane, burning him slightly.
"You will regret not joining the dark lord when you had the chance, Lupin. Mark my words, he will rise again, greater and more-"
"-More terrible than ever before, I know." he said calmly
"You'd do better not to mock." he snapped, "You could grow to regret it, Come on, Fleck and Maddle was it?"
"Yes Mr Malfoy" said the zombie twins (who didn't look a thing like each other but, you know)
Remus noticed that the two morons hadn't done anything but laugh at his pain and nod silently in agreement to Malfoy the whole time. Therefore, Remus deduced that they too, were death eaters. He made a mental note to tell Sirius (If he ever saw him again)
His train of thoughts was interrupted by the (thankful) return of most of the others, but not Ros, Will, Aaron or Theodosius
"I was thinking they were going to do something like test how long silver takes to kill us, or maybe some torture" Said Daniel with a laugh.
Maddy was crying, Mary was trying to comfort her "It hurt loads and loads and loads!" Maddy was complaining.
"Why, what happened?" asked Adam
"They gave the kids rabies shots-"
"Rabies? The bastards-"
"ADAM!!!"
"I didn't say anything, I did not say anything."
"Seriously though" came Toby's voice "I was expecting them to do more than measure our pulses and crap"
At least the others hadn't been hurt then. Remus noticed Jesse come into his line of sight. Jesse looked horrified. Surely he didn't look that bad? But Jesse stared at him and Remus was almost sure he could see tears in his eyes, tears that wouldn't shed.
Perhaps he had imagined it.
He could hear Daniel talking now "I was expecting them to test whether the crutatius curse worked the same on werewolves, as it did on humans"
"What's the crutatius curse" Asked Brittany
"A torture curse." answered Isabelle
"Then they didn't use it on us because they were saving it for Remus" said Jesse softly.
This caused general shock amongst the others and several of them tried to escape to get a closer look so they could assess the damage.
When they finally got back to their cells, the amount of swearing was matched only by the gasps of horror.
"It's really that bad?" asked Remus weakly
"Ya look like shit mate," Said Daniel, his voice shaking with anger.
"Courtesy of Lucius Malfoy" said Remus with a small smile.
This got Daniel even angrier, and caused him and several others to rant about 'stupid bastards' and 'prejudice assholes' and several other slightly ruder things, while other people seemed frozen with anger, others were trying to get the first people to calm down, while Remus rubbed his aching head, and the kids looked on in shock.
Then Ros and Will came back.
Typical Ros, walked to the cell she shared with Brittany and Isabelle, picked up her book, and started reading it without giving a single glance to the others.
Will however, was not so oblivious.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!"
"Will, calm down-"
"WHAT SON OF A BITCH"
"WILL, THE CHILDREN!!!"
"Sorry Mary, WHAT PREJUDICE ARSE-"
"WILL!!!"
"Sorry Mary-"
Well, at least those two were o.k. Now all they needed was to see Aaron and Theodosius (Not that anyone really liked him but still...)
Luckily, just then the missing duet pranced in (Well Theo did anyway) Will was still yelling and cussing when Theo walked into their cell and sat down on his cot.
"I'LL KILL THE STUPID LITTLE-"
"S'cuse me, but I'm trying to sleep here" drawled Theodosius, earning him a black eye.
"Will!" shouted Jesse.
Then Aaron came in, ranting his head off
"I don't believe it, we weren't even in the same part of the bloody state!"
"What's wrong Aaron?" asked Remus in a hoarse whisper
"They questioned me on- hey! what the hell happened to you?"
"Never mind, Aaron...We just spent the last five minutes discussing that, what happened to you?"
Still uncertainly staring at Remus, Aaron begun "Two years ago, a bunch of American werewolves in Boston staged a protest for werewolf rights. I happened to be in Cambidge at the time-"
"So why would they suspect you had anything to do with this if you were in Cambridge?"
"Cambridge, Massa- Mass- Massa- Massachu,* well that really hard-to- pronounce-state"
"Massachusetts?" asked Brittany
"Yes! Massa- well there anyway. Some of the protesters did ask me to take part but I declined, It wasn't my place to protest for American werewolf rights, when it wouldn't help my life in the least, and I'd get in trouble with our ministry."
"What happened?" asked Mary
"One of the werewolves was shot by an anti-werewolf group, He survived, but the damage was lasting. On the other hand, American werewolves are now allowed to take their wands with them when they go to other countries, unlike you guys"
"We hardly ever have enough money to get outta town, let alone to another country."
"Well I don't understand much of this, being a muggle and all" said Aaron, a few of the others, including E.B and Brittany, nodded in agreement.
"I wonder what Theodosius was questioned about" asked Isabelle
"What It's like to have no brain and be a werewolf?" suggested Toby.
"Whether his eyebrows have something to do with his lycanthropy, or were they always deformed and misshapen" countered Joe
The others laughed.
Will kicked Theodosius. "What were you questioned about?" he yelled.
"None of ya damn buisness" murmured Theo.
"Fine." Said Will.
Not saying much for Will's temper, but Remus had a feeling that somone in that cell was going to be dead by the end of the week, if niether of them were moved to a different cell.
All was silent for a few moments, Jenkin and the twins were asleep and so was Theo. Surprisingly enough, it was Maddy who broke the silence.
"Aaron..." she asked
"Yeah, mad-girl"
Maddy rolled her eyes "What's Master-chewing-sus?"
"You mean Mass- Massa- Mass-"
"Massachusetts?" supplied Brittany
"Yeah, what is it?"
"It's a state" said Aaron
"Oh. What's a state?"
"Well, It's sort of like a county, 'cept bigger"
"Oh. Whats a bastard?"
"ADAM!!!"
"What?" asked Adam, thankful he and Mary weren't sharing a cell.
Remus couldn't help it.
He grinned.

Next chapter will be very different.
I am in a bad mood because Birdie left for China, and will not be coming back for two weeks, while I go to my Granny's for god knows how long.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Reviews:
Mbali: Wow you reviewed me twice, here's the new chapter, hope you enjoy

Courtknee: Awesome is it? I didn't think so, but hey thanks!
Freakyfairy: I suppose it isn't as crap as I thought it was, thanks for the confidence boost! hope you like the chapter!
Jubilee Black: Thanks for the review! I don't know if Remus will survive, I have a nasty habit of killing off my favorite characters, but don't worry! He may just get horribly injured and almost die!
Yay! I updated! Go me!!!
So now we see what happens during the first day at the werewolf holding centre, what scientific research was done to Daniel, Toby and the rest? Why were Aaron and Theo brought in for questioning? If Remus is being questioned, are Mack and Fleddle (Flack and Meddle) going to play nicely? (I don't think so)

I am in a bad mood because Birdie left for China, and will not be coming back for two weeks, while I go to my Granny's for god knows how long.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Jubilee Black: Thanks for the review! I don't know if Remus will survive, I have a nasty habit of killing off my favorite characters, but don't worry! He may just get horribly injured and almost die!
