Usagi's POV
Okay, so now not only is father going back to Azkaban, but I'm going to be expelled because I 'lied' to Professor Lupin! What a wonderful turn of events we Blacks get to suffer. Oh well, I have never gone down without a fight, and I'm not going to start now.
Lupin looked around the room. He first saw Ron on the bed holding a bunch of wands, Hermione in a corner beside him, her wand pointed at Takara, Harry standing in front of me, his wand pointed at my heart, and then behind me, Sirius Black.
"Expelliarmus!"
Harry's wand flew out of his hands, as did the one Hermione had, and the other three that Ron held within his own hand. I felt my mouth drop in amazement as he caught them. What exactly was he doing?
"Where is he, Sirius?" He asked in a voice unlike his own.
"Weasley's got him now," Takara answered, as Sirius pointed a shaky finger at Ron from behind Usagi. The Gryffindor trio exchanged puzzled glances.
"But then" Lupin begun slowly "Why hasn't he shown himself before now? Unless... He was the one. You two switched places... and didn't tell me?" Sirius nodded solemnly.
Right now I was highly confused, I knew that they were speaking of 'Scabbers' or Pettigrew, but how did dad and Lupin know each other? They acted like…friends? More importantly, how did Lupin know about Pettigrew? "Professor Lupin, what's going on-?" Harry demanded but cut himself short. Lupin shuffled forwards, past Harry and now towards me.
He tried to walk around me, but I moved to the side, blocking his way. "It's ok, Usagi, I won't hurt him." He smiled reassuringly at me. I don't know why I let him pass, but I did. He took my fathers hand in his and pulled him to his feet. Ok so maybe they were friends.
Hermione
let out a sudden scream, "YOU! YOU, AND HIM AND HER AND HER TOO!" she shrieked,
pointing firstly to Lupin, then dad, then me and finally Takara.
"Hermione-" Lupin said calmly,
trying to also calm her.
"I have been covering up for you!" She yelled. My gaze shifted for a
second to Lupin then back to Hermione again.
"Hermione let me explain-"
"I trusted you all!" Harry yelled, "Espeaically you!" he pointed at me, "You're the daughter of Sirius Black, and a Slytherin! I should have listened to Ron and Hermione about you! I can't believe you have been working to get him in the castle all this time!"
"Being a Slytherin had nothing to do with it!" Takara threw in with a glare.
I shook my head, "Here we go
house pride again. Anyway, I'm not working for him!"
"Harry don't listen to them! They have been working
for Black, they want you dead, and he's a werewolf!" Hermione shouted. I blinked over in Lupin's direction. He…was a
werewolf? I guess that did explain his absences once a month…and he wasn't at
Christmas that day.
Professor Lupin looked calm,
for someone whose life secret had just been blown. I mean,
is that really the sort of thing you want everyone to know about? Most would
judge you on that.
"Hermione, you don't seem to be up to
your usual stranded. Only one question right out of three.
I am not helping Sirius into the castle, and I don't want Harry dead…" there
was now a silence and his face grew pale, "But I don't deny that I'm a
werewolf. How long have you known?"
"Ever
since I did professor Snape's essay." She whispered.
"He'll be over joyed. He set that essay hoping one of you would figure it
out. Did you look up the lunar chart and see I was always sick on the full
moon? Or notice that the boggart changed into the moon when it saw me?"
"Both"
"You're the smartest witch of your age I have ever met Hermione."
Lupin complimented her.
"If I had of been that little bit smarter I would have told everyone what
I knew" Hermione whispered
"But all the teachers already know," Lupin admitted.
I sighed, "Can't you just listen? Give us a chance to explain?"
Professor Lupin must have been thinking along the same lines as well. He threw Harry, Ron and Hermione's wands to their rightful owners. Mine and Takara's on the other hand, were pocketed in his pocket along with his own. Well, Takara wasn't too keen on the idea to start off with and put up a bit of a fight. ("No! Professor it's not fair! Give me my wand back! What if they attempt to hex me?!") By the end of this argument, my father and I were sitting on the bed, with Ron edging away from us. Takara grumbled under her breath, something about Lupin always favouring the Gryffindors and plopped down on the bed beside me.
"Then if neither of you have been helping him in, then how did you know he was here?" Harry finally asked.
Lupin looked over at me for a moment. I could have sworn by the look in his eyes he was going to only cover for himself, but I was wrong, "Usagi and Takara didn't know, I'm assuming they were just going for a walk in the grounds when it happened-" he paused and we nodded, "And I saw it all happen on the marauders map."
Takara
and myself looked puzzled, and Harry had an expression of confusion, but a
different one to ours.
"Yes I know all about the map and how to use it. After all I am one of the makers of it. I am
Moony" Remus answered the confused expression on Harry's face. "Well,
that was my friends nick names for me. My other three best friends, Wormtail,
Peter Pettigrew, Padfoot, Sirius Black and Prongs, your father Harry, James
Potter wrote it."
"You wrote-?"
"The important thing here is, I thought you three
would sneak out to visit Hagrid before his hippogriff was executed, and Usagi
well I had a feeling you and Takara would be out on the grounds, enjoying
yourselves. I was right wasn't I? Anyway, I watched you enter Hagrid's Hut
under the invisibly cloak-"
"How do you know about the cloak?"
"The number of times I saw James disappearing under it. Anyway, I watched
you all. Twenty minutes later you left. This was when Usagi and Takara were
just leaving the Slytherin common room. But what really caught my eye was that
you had a fourth person with you." Remus explained
"No one was with us" Harry frowned.
"I couldn't believe it; I thought the map was stuffing up. I saw the four
of you collide with Usagi and Takara, and then I saw another dot speeding
towards you labelled 'Sirius Black'. He collided with you, and then dragged one
of you off, closely followed by Usagi and Takara, and then another three of
you."
"Do you think I could have a look at your rat Ron?" Remus asked.
"What is the deal with you lot and
Scabbers?" Ron remanded. It had to be frustrating I guess. I and Takara were
always after his rat. Especially me, no doubt Harry told him about our little
discussion on him.
"He's a wizard, an animagus, by the name of Peter Pettigrew" Dad answered, with narrowed eyes.
Dad lunged at Ron, falling
on his broken leg after he had brought 'Scabbers' out of his pocket. It took
both me and Takara to pull him away from Ron and hold him there like that.
Lupin came along and helped us hold him back as he struggled.
"Sirius No! You can't just do it like that! - They need to know
everything! There are some parts even I don't understand! - And what about
Harry? You owe Harry the truth!" Lupin struggled to keep Sirius away from
Ron.
I listened silently, holding dad back
from Ron, as Remus explained to the three Gryffindors, about his childhood as a
werewolf. Before he had begun, the door had creaked open on its own, making the
house look like it really was haunted. It was a good half an hour, Remus took
to explain everything. I couldn't help but wonder how much longer until they
would believe us. I tried not to think what would happen if the trio didn't
believe us. There would be two more for Azkaban. But what would happen to me? I
have never committed a crime worth going to prison for. And it seemed very
unfair on me that I was sent to Azkaban for being in the same room as a said to
be follower of the dark lord.
"So that's why Snape never like you. He thought you were in on the joke
too?" Harry stated slowly.
"That's right" a cold voice sneered from a corner of the room. Snape
pulled off Harry's invisibility cloak, his wand pointing at Remus. Hermione
screamed, Ron gasped, Remus' eyes widened in shock, Harry jumped, Sirius jumped
to his feet as did Takara and I, jumping in front of dad. "I found this at
the base of the willow, very useful potter, I thank you" Snape continued
as he threw Harry his cloak back. "Guess you're all wondering how I found
you? You forgot to take your potion tonight Lupin, so I went to your office
with a goblet full. One look on the map on your desk told me everything."
"Serverus" Remus tried to reason with the potions master
"Not even I thought you would use this old place as your hideout. Two more
for Azkaban tonight," Out of the tip of his wand robes binder themselves
around Remus' body. He overbalanced and landed on the floor. "And I wonder
what will happen to our young Miss. Black?"
I looked up at his cold eyes that were glittering
madly at me. I'd never seen him look that way at me before, it kind of scared
me. "I bet the werewolf has been wondering why I've been acting so nice to
you. I had a lot to debate over the matter. The daughter of my enemy was in my
house. But then if you were Slytherin you couldn't be that bad could you? And
you weren't." Snape explained.
Dad placed a hand on my shoulder, "No daughter of mine isn't that bad to a Slytherin, especially you."
Ok, so dad liked Lupin, but didn't like Snape. Well that was clear from Lupin's story anyway. A sneer appeared on his face, "She is nothing like you, and she never will be. She is a Slytherin. It must have killed you when you found out, hey Black? Your only daughter." His sneer grew wider
Snape raised his wand pointing it over Usagi's head, at Sirius' face. "You can't hid behind her forever Black. How I wished I would be the one to catch you." Snape breathed dreamily.
"Once again, the joke is on you Serverus. As long as the boy brings
his rat up to the castle I will come quietly." Dad sneered back.
"I don't think we will need to go as for as the castle, Black. All I have
to do is call the dementors. They have missed you Black, maybe even enough to
give you a little kiss" My heart skipped a beat with my head of house's
words.
I had never seen Snape so…heartless? He was tough with the Gryffindors of course, but I wouldn't ever go as far as heartless. Didn't he care that he was sending an innocent man to jail? This was all over what happened to him in school, and the fact that dad had made it a living hell for him. "Let's go!" Snape ordered, taking charge. "I'll drag the werewolf."
Back to normal POV
Usagi exchanged a look with Takara. That werewolf comment was certainly harsh. Okay. So this is it. Sirius was going to be sent off to Azkaban as a lifeless zombie beyond her repair. And she couldn't stop it from happening. Professor Lupin would be accompanying him too. And it was all Snape's fault. She felt a strong disliking towards him well up inside her. If only she had her wand! She'd hex him.
Snape picked the robes tying Lupin up in his hand. A smirk of joy visible on his face as Lupin tried to protest through the gag. Usagi's necklace magically lifted itself out from under her robes, revealing a bright pink light. She felt it somehow take over her, beyond her control. Usagi's hair blew slightly in the wind, that wasn't there. Her eyes now also began to glow with the pink. They were no longer her soft blue, but a raging pink. Snape noticed this and dropped Lupin at once.
At the same moment that Harry, Ron and Hermione cast a disarming spell at Snape, Usagi let out a wave of electricity from her hand that reached the potions master. As he went flying across the room from the charm, his body was zapped with the wave of electricity and he landed in a heap on the floor in the far corner.
Usagi's eyes went back to blue, her hair fell and so did the necklace. She swayed slightly and fell backwards into Sirius' already outstretched arms, her eyes only half open. The necklace had just taken over her completely, and while doing so, taken energy from her. Takara ran to her side immediately, while Harry, Ron, Hermione and Lupin just watched the three from their places.
Takara then bent down and untied Lupin, probably also looking for her wand while doing so. "Thank you, Harry." Lupin smiled, rubbing his arms where the binding ropes had cut into him.
"I'm not saying I believe you." He threw back quickly.
Sirius gently put Usagi down on the bed. She forced herself into a sitting position even though Sirius tried to stop her with his hand, "Then it is time we offered you some proof. Boy, give me your rat."
Ron still refused. That stupid
Weasley boy. Why was he so stubborn? Usagi half listened to the
explanation Lupin and Sirius were giving, and half fingering her necklace with
thought. It had taken over her. It had been the necklace all along. It had to
be. Usagi had never possessed any of the powers she now used before she got it.
Shielding herself from dementors, slapping Malfoy,
lighting up when Sirius was close by, teleporting her to the seventh floor that
night Sirius broke in, and now completely possessing her into attacking
someone. She felt rather drained after that. Like it had taken a lot of energy
to do what it did.
"Just give them the rat, Weasley!" Takara's angered voice broke through her
thoughts.
Slowly, Ron hesitantly gave the rat to Lupin. He threw Sirius Usagi's wand, and they counted down on their attack. Usagi watched from the bed, as the blue light hit the rat and slowly he changed back into his human form. He was short, round and had a patch of baldness on his head from stress perhaps. Rat-like was defiantly the way to describe this man cowering on the floor. It hadn't taken long for Pettigrew to admit he betrayed the Potters, and was crawling across the floor begging for mercy. Usagi couldn't help but give a weak smile of amusement as he approached Takara.
"You believe me, don't you, sweet, kind, girl?" He begged of her, tugging at the hem of her robes.
"I'm anything but a 'sweet, kind girl' you filthy rodent," she hissed while kicking his hands off her robes, "Don't mix me up with Usagi over there," she jabbed a finger towards the amused Usagi. So we all guess that that was a very clear 'no'.
He then turned to Harry for mercy. Usagi now realised she was the only one he hadn't turned too yet. But did that really matter to her? No not really. "Please believe me Harry, I would have died protecting Lily and James, and as secret keeper you should have died doing that!" Sirius was saying viciously now to Pettigrew.
Usagi's heart lifted finally as Harry gave his nod of approval. Finally! Harry had come to reason with them. "You should have realised Peter, if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would!" Sirius snapped, standing back to back with Lupin, pointing their wands down on the whimpering Pettigrew.
"Good-bye, Peter." Remus whispered.
They were going to kill him now. "NO DAD!" She screamed. Harry seemed to think along the same lines, and jumped between them.
"You can't kill him!" Harry said breathlessly, "You'll get sent to Azkaban if you do!"
Usagi shuddered. It always had to end in Azkaban, didn't it? "He can go to Azkaban instead…" Harry finished off. Yep, I did always end in Azkaban.
"THANK YOU!" Pettigrew shouted gleefully, wrapping his arms around Harry's knees. "Thank you so much!"
"I'm not doing this for you!" Harry hissed, kicking Pettigrew's arms away from his knees "I am doing this because I don't think my dad would want his two best friends to become murders and get sent to Azkaban just for you!"
"You're the only one with the right to decided," Sirius said to Harry, "And so are you, Usagi. He's done damage to both your families and lives. But think it through, think what he he's done!"
"I have told you what you're going to do with him, dad! You're sending him to Azkaban so they'll free you!" Usagi huffed.
"Yeah. He should go to Azkaban." Harry agreed with her.
"Okay, he'll go to Azkaban then." Remus made a move to get to Pettigrew but Harry didn't move aside, "It's okay, I'm going to tie him up. Nothing else I sware." Lupin's wand swished and robes binded themselves around Pettigrew's body.
Within the next five minutes, they were all leaving the shrieking shack. Crookshanks lead the group out, followed by Lupin, Ron and Pettigrew, the floating body of Snape, lead by Sirius with Usagi beside him and with Harry, Hermione and Takara pulling up the rear behind them. Usagi still felt a bit weak after what happened and her gash was now beginning to sting a bit, but she kept up with them all the same.
"You see, Usagi," Sirius beamed, "I told you it would all work out in the end!" He handed her back her wand.
Usagi made a small 'humph' noise, "You came so close to going back to Azkaban though."
"Well, I guess we have your uncle Remus to thank for it, he helped o-"
"What?! Uncle?!" Usagi cut in with a look to Remus, and then back to Sirius again.
Sirius laughed softly, "Uh…I must have let that one slip then…sorry. But you see, when the Potters died, you needed godparents, so Remus had always been appointed what we'd call a second godfather behind James…"
"Professor Lupin…my uncle?!" Usagi ran forwards to catch up to Lupin, "Professor Lupin!" she called out, "Or should I be calling you uncle Remus now?"
Professor Lupin smiled as she caught up with him, "No…it's still Professor now I'm afraid."
"Why did you never tell me?" She questioned.
Lupin shrugged, "You seemed so busy, and I was worried you were letting Sirius in the castle and everything. I guess I never had the time to do so-" He stopped in mid sentence and clutched his stomach.
Usagi stopped walking from his side and watched him, "Uncle, are you okay?"
"T-the moon!" he gasped before falling to the ground, and screamed in agony.
"USAGI! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Sirius yelled suddenly as Usagi fell to her knees beside him. Her eyes widened in horror as he began to change forms, while still screaming. She looked up at the moon, and it was full, with its rays shining down on him.
Sirius in his dog form managed to free Pettigrew and Ron. The wolf had now taken its form with Remus' body and let out a howl. It had all happened in the blink of an eye, Remus had turned on her, ready to kill her. Sirius jumped over her and knocked the wolf to the ground and began to wrestle with it. Pettigrew grabbed a hold of Remus' wand and fired a spell at Ron causing him to fall unconscious. Pettigrew changed back into his rat form and was gone. Remus had also taken off in the direction of the forbidden forest. Sirius chased Pettigrew from close behind, and Usagi followed close behind him. He let out a yelp suddenly when over one hundred dementors began to surround him.
"No! Get away you monsters! You can't have him!" she whipped her wand out of her pocket and pointed it at the closest dementor. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" She screamed. Silver light burst out of her wand tip, this time actually taking shape. The guardian was exactly her height, with the same strange looking hairstyle, wings and a senshi uniform. "Sailor Moon?" She whispered as the eternal senshi went about trying to chase off all the dementors.
Sirius laid unconious on the floor, with about ten dementors surrounding his human formed body. "NO YOU'RE NOT TAKING HIM!" Usagi screamed not so loudly, falling to her knees in front of him. She was drained, completely drained from any energy her body may have left. Her head collided with the ground and she blacked out at the hands of the dementors once again.
