Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Is it just me or is anyone else
getting tired of typing that.
A/N: Wow, I am just on a roll with this story right now. I bet you are all loving it though, huh. Hope you enjoy this chapter as well. This chapter title is sooo corny. Oh and just to let you know, I changed my mind it will be a while before I am done with this story so disregard the a/n about me being done with this in the next couple of chapters. What can I say; my muse has just run away with the plot line again.
Chapter Sixteen: Pop! Goes the Weasel
Remus floo'd into Severus's chambers with one thing in his mind, to find and maim Ron Weasley. He walked softly into Severus's potion lab and started glancing through his private stockpile of various potions.
"Where is it?" he murmured to himself as he shifted around the potions. Finally seeing the one that he wanted he grabbed it and the one sitting next to it and walked swiftly out of the room. He walked back over to the fireplace and threw the floo powder in. Checking to make sure that he had the antidote to the invisibility potion he floo'd into the Leaky Cauldron.
When Remus stepped out of the fireplace at the pub he was still invisible. Tom the barman glanced up at the apparently empty fireplace and shrugging his shoulders he continued wiping down the bar. Remus stood by the door leading into Muggle London and waited until someone either was going out or in so he could slip by without alerting Tom to his invisible visitor.
He didn't have to wait long. The door swung open and in stepped two older ladies with shopping bags. As they hailed a greeting to Tom he slipped out the still open door and into the busy London streets.
Remus walked quickly down the many busy streets until he came upon the one that he had been looking for. Making sure that no one was looking he slipped into the shop.
It didn't take him long to find what he was looking for. It was in a glass case in the back of the store. He remembered seeing a picture of it in a magazine he had picked up at a local store near his home. Knowing that he was still invisible made some things a bit easier, but he still needed to make sure that he didn't attract any of the muggles attention.
Remus walked softly down the aisle toward the case. He studied the case and realized that it had sliding glass doors locked in place by a small padlock. Simple enough to get around.
Taking another potion vial out of his pocket he uncorked it and let three drops of the clear liquid fall onto the lock. Seconds later the lock dissolved. Glancing up to make sure that the coast was clear Remus hurriedly reached in and grabbed the slender metal and plastic item.
Mission accomplished.
Now to get to The Burrow with out being caught, take Ron with out alerting anyone in the house and then bring him back to the Manor. *** Harry stood with his mouth still hanging open. Lucius was running over to Hermione's mother helping her to her feet. He guided her over to where Hermione was still laying on the sofa.
Hermione's mother was Athena Malfoy, Remus's missing wife and Lucius's supposedly dead sister.
Hermione was Remus's daughter that had been taken away from him when she was a couple months old.
Remus had just gone after Ron because of everything he had done to his daughter.
And then the kicker of it all, they just found out that Hermione was pregnant. Hence the snap decision on Remus's part to go after Ron.
Harry watched as his father and Lucius were talking in hushed urgent tones. Draco was summoned over and then after several seconds he ran from the room to do what ever it was that he was told. His father then came over to him and whispered that he and Lucius were going to floo to The Dark Lord and tell him what all has happened, and to see if he could come up with a plan if Remus got into trouble.
Harry just hoped that Remus didn't get caught or incriminate himself when he did whatever it was that he was going to do to Ron. Although he wished that it was him that was going after Ron. He owed him quite a lot of payback. On his behalf as well as Hermione's.
Harry finally pulled himself together after we watched the two older men floo out and walked over to Hermione. She was sitting up now. Talking softly to her mother and Narcissa. There were tears in her eyes. He found out why when he came close enough to hear what was being said.
"...and Remus is your father." Came from Hermione's mother, Athena.
Hermione looked up and seen that Harry was coming over. She slid closer to her mother so that he could sit down beside her.
Harry took in the silent invitation and sat next to her. He sat quietly as they continued talking.
"But you didn't answer my question as why there was a blue haze around my stomach." Hermione said rather quietly ducking her head down. She was rather worried at what was wrong with her. She wished that they would just tell her. She wasn't going to break.
Athena regarded her headstrong daughter. It was good to see some of her stubbornness rear its head again. "I don't think that is something to discuss here." She said thinking about what it was that Hermione was asking. She couldn't blame Remus for wanting to go after the Weasley boy. Especially after she had seen what had set him off. She had immediately recognized what the spell was and why it had been used. She had used the same potion and charm to find out when she was pregnant with Hermione.
Hermione shook her head stubbornly. "No mother, it doesn't matter where we would discuss it." And then she gestured to everyone in the room. "I am sure that they already know simply by the way everyone has acted." In her mind she had started to assimilate everything that has happened, how she had been feeling lately and lastly what spell had been used. It was when she looked into her mother's eyes and had seen the worry and pain that everything fell in place.
The dizziness, getting sick in the morning, being tired constantly no matter how much sleep she had gotten the night before, and then the feeling of something off in her body.
It was then that she started panicking, no... no... no... no this cannot be happening, She thought to herself as she stood abruptly.
"Please tell me it's not what I am thinking." She said her voice wavering slightly in fear. She started stepping back away from her mother, her eyes never leaving her mother's worried face.
"Hermione sit down so we can talk about it." Athena said hoping that Hermione would listen, but she recognized the look on her daughters face. She was going to run and hide until it all sunk in, she had done it many times before.
Hermione's face paled at her mother's request. She needed to get away from everyone, she needed to think and cry. She could feel Harry looking at her. She didn't want to see what his reaction was. It would hurt too much to see if he pitied her, or worse didn't want to have anything to do with her now that she was going to have his enemy's baby. She couldn't deal with that rejection yet.
She took a hesitant step backwards and her mother made a move to stand to stop her from leaving. So she did the only thing that she could think of.
She ran.
Harry looked at Hermione's mother before he stood. "I'll find her and talk to her." And then quickly walked out of the room to find Hermione.
***
Remus stalked silently up toward the Burrow. He stopped to stand near a tree so that he would have a clear view of the back door. He knew that it was around this time that Molly would send one of the kids out to de-gnome the garden. He just hoped that it was Ron. It would be so much easier.
Just then the back door swung open and he could hear raised voices.
"I don't fucking care what you have been told by Dumbledore. Hermione isn't dead and I can guarantee that it was Potter that took her somewhere to hid her from me." Ron Weasley said as he started stepping out of the door, still faced toward whomever it was that he was arguing with.
Remus could hear someone say something but it was too muffled for him to make it out.
"No! She is mine and I will find her and then I will kill Potter for taking what is mine!" He slammed the door and turned and walked over to the garden.
Remus was fuming with anger. He didn't know if he was going to be able to control himself long enough to get the little bastard to the manor before he snapped his neck. He walked silently over to the tall red head and reached quietly into his pocket for his stolen item.
Waiting until the boy was out of sight from anyone in the house he acted quickly. Pressing the stun gun to the back of his neck he pushed the button.
The boy fell to the ground unconscious without a sound.
Remus hefted him onto his shoulder and with a barely audible pop he apparated them both back to Malfoy Manor.
Mission Completed.
