FIFTEEN: The Full Moon Plan

Response To Reviews:

Nadia Greenleaf: Thanks for you opinions and review! =)

Lady Melime Alasse: Do you really like the way I made the Death Eaters appear? I haven't really heard anyone say that straight out so thanks. I hope you'll tell me if I let the characters get too out of place though.  

Starrylibra: I take your statement "u should be put down" very seriously. After all I have a club called the Aristocracy: exceptionally well trained DOGS. And yes I do think I am a dog (don't ask…I have major self issues...which is normal, right?) and I will bark at you *sticks out tongue*. Besides…I can't hide the fact that I like Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and Linkin Park. Oh and errr…the one ferret I held made a noise. Of course it was a baby and maybe it didn't know that it wasn't supposed to…

Sue Falkenkralle: You really want me to write 30 chapters? Okay…I'll try…Thanks for your comments.

Silverknight7: Is Fanfiction emailing you again? Cause if not I'll personally email you. Oh and thankx for replying to my questions. I'll keep your responses in mind.

Marauder1prongs: Thanks for checking for mistakes before, Kate.

MoonyPadfootJr: You really think it's well thought out? Thank you for your review. I hope you stay with this story.

Lil Miss Potter: I really only use the characters such as Nott and Goyle for backup people. Though we won't be seeing much of them in Part Two.

Emma Ackroyd: I think I gave my explanation for the entire "Birthday incident". I'm still sor5ry that you were…errmm…annoyed/confused by this thing. Katie said she's sorry for being stupid and believing Sev and I. 

Erin Beans: Voldemort is going to pay a big role in Part Two of this story. I hope you stick around to see.

  Previous Chapter: The snake's dull eyes lit up and it hissed, "I'd love to, sssir. I can only hope I will not be a bother to you."

"You won't be," Dan promised.  

*****************

Unsurprisingly it took Barty, Aaron, and Nick an extra week to get in touch with Severus, and, as predicted, the trio asked the Potions Master if he could watch after the children for a bit longer. It seemed that the Dark Lord was in a bad mod since the previous Monday and no one wanted the children around all of the arguing and fighting.

At the moment Severus was writing a response letter to Barty. As long as Dumbledore didn't know that he was in touch with any of the Death Eaters while in Hogwarts there was no reason as to why he should object to keeping the children here. After all, Dan, Draco, Blake, and Kristen were having the time of their lives teaching themselves to play Quidditch.

"Throw the Quaffle over here!" Blake shouted to Kristen. They were playing (without brooms) in Severus's private chambers which was where Severus was writing the letter.

Just as the ex-Death Eater went to dip his quill in the ink bottle Dan crashed into his desk and all Severus saw were graded papers flying everywhere as the desk was pushed into the wall. Despite all of the destruction Severus wasn't at all angry. It was to be expected when he told them that they could play Quidditch inside. Focusing all his energy on not cursing Severus picked up the Quaffle and threw it.

"Thanks, Uncle Sev!" Draco shouted as he caught the ball and sprinted past Blake. 

With a heavy sigh Severus pushed his desk back in place and began to pick up the papers. He stacked them on the table (in the corner) and sat back down after he vanished the spilled ink. Just as he was about to get back to writing the letter Jane came into the room followed by Remus and, too his annoyance, Sirius Black and James Potter.

"How did you get in here?" Severus asked, picking up his quill.

"Jane," answered Remus. "She wanted to show me something."

"And Remus forced us to come with," Sirius grumbled. James decided not to comment. 

"Come on!" exclaimed the little werewolf. Jane ran to the other side of the room and knelt down sp she could pick up a robe that had been thrown on the ground. Reaching into the pocket, she pulled out a fuzzy, gray bunny. She then ran over to Remus, holding it up.

"I named him Tiger," Jane said, seeking approval. "Uncle Sev bought it for me last week."

"How come Uncle Sev didn't get me anything?" Sirius asked in a mock-baby voice. James snickered, but Remus ignored them both as he took the bunny in his arms.

"I think he is cute," Remus said to her. "What does he like to eat?'

"I saw him eating grass…does that count?" Jane asked in a shy tone. "Oh and I gave him a carrot yesterday. He was cute when he was eating the carrot."

"I bet he was," said Remus as he gave the baby bunny back to its owner. Sirius rolled his eyes and Severus decided to speak up. He wasn't about to let them laugh at Jane.

"I think you three had better run along," sneered Severus. After a moment of silence he added, "Or at least duck."

"What?" James asked stupidly as the Quaffle struck him in the face, breaking his glasses. Next to him Remus looked away, a smile on his face.

"Oops…" said Dan.

"Nice one, Blake!" Draco exclaimed as he gave him a high-five.

"Why'd you get in the way of the Quaffle?" Kristen asked James who was fixing his glasses. Blake and Draco laughed at this.

"I told you to duck," mumbled Severus as he organized a few things on his desk. The children giggled and looked at James for a response…but none came. Shifting his gaze to the three Gryffindors he said, "Since you're here, Lupin, Black, Potter, make yourselves useful and teach weak arms to throw." Draco's pale cheeks turned a light pink at the mean and embarrassing name that Severus had called him.

Sirius smiled at this and said sarcastically, "Now I can tell why you're popular among the kids."

"I can't," James muttered.

"Throw us the Quaffle!" demanded Blake. "We have to finish our game!"

"How about this: if you can beat us in a real game we'll give it back," Sirius negotiated. James rolled his eyes and Remus groaned.

"Deal," Blake accepted.

It turned out that Remus, James, and Sirius let the four kids win, though they made it look like a convincing game. Severus was a bit (he was ashamed to admit it) jealous of how Jane had taken a liking to Remus. He could only guess that it was because they both shared the curse of the werewolf, but there seemed to be more of a connection than that.

"It's getting late, Lupin," Severus called out. "Shouldn't you and your playmates get ready for your little nighttime stroll?" Recently he had been informed about their Animagi forms and, predictably, he had not been completely surprised.  

Remus smiled as he walked toward him and replied, "I was wondering if you would mind if I took Jane with us?"

"Really?" asked Jane excitedly. She turned to Severus and said, "Can I, Uncle Sev? Please?"

Severus glanced at James and Sirius who were exchanging eyebrows.

"I don't see why not," sighed Severus. He looked at Remus and said, "Just watch after her, Lupin."

"I will," promised Remus.

"This is going to be great!" Sirius exclaimed. "Another addition to the team."

"Yeah but where will she transform?" asked James, a hint of concern in his voice.

"She can transform with Remus, can't she? They're both werewolves after all," Sirius replied.

"I'm not too sure about that, Padfoot," said Remus. "I'm not sure how I or she would react to the company of another of our kind."

"Aww. Come on, Moony. Everything will be fine!" insisted Sirius. "And even if things do start to go wrong Prongs and I will be there to help out."

"Please?" Jane asked with big eyes. It was obvious that she didn't care about the consequences. She just didn't want to be alone during the full moon if there was another option.

"I suppose," Remus said with a sigh. "As long as you and Prongs are there to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Deal," Sirius said.

Severus had a bad feeling about tonight, but he fought hard to say nothing. It wasn't right for him to forced Jane to be alone if she really didn't have to…but there still was a nagging voice in the back of his head and he knew for sure something was going to go wrong.
