-THE BATTLE OF THE MINISTRY- PART 1- REMUS' VICTORY-
They apparated at the ministry in the middle of an all out war. Curses were flying everywhere and body of the dead where already littering the ground. Draco quickly placed a shield around Hermione and Remus to protect the babies. Harry scanned the area to see where their help was most needed. He saw three assassins sneak into the building, He signaled Sirius to follow them. Severus was already casting fireballs at a group of death eaters who had some ministry workers pinned down. Harry sent a blasting curse towards a group of werewolves that were tearing down doors to get to people hiding inside some offices. Remus was royally pissed that some of his own kind would attack innocent people. Even if they weren't in their wolf forms they were ten times stronger than normal a normal person and could easily tear someone apart. He signaled Harry that he would handle them. Harry nodded back in response and made his way to the other side of the room where a group of aurors were busy fighting another group of death eaters.
Remus made his way towards the group of werewolves casting a shield so no one else could interrupt them and asked why they were attacking innocent people. One werewolf who seemed to be their leader turned around to look at Remus. He saw the young prince who was looking at him with sad amber eyes. He seemed surprised that one of the royal family would come in person in the middle of a battle. They obviously didn't know what kind of man Remus was. After sniffing the air he was even more shock that a very pregnant Prince would come to talk to them. Remus seemed to sense his hesitation. He took the time to look at the warriors in front of him. None of them seemed to be vicious killers like society wanted the masses to believe. They were just trying to fight for a right to live a descent life. Remus understood their plight. He looked at the leader and asked.
"Why are you doing this, it goes against all that my father Prince Joshua as been working for. If you continue this useless fighting you will destroy all the work my parents have done to make our situation better. We have our own realm to live in and where we can live happy and free lives. We can have children and bring them up to have honor and dignity. If you keep on this path of destruction you will surely destroy our kind."
The older werewolf was shocked at the words the young man had said. Never had he heard of a place to live where he could be happy and not worry about hurting someone because of his curse. The man took another look at Remus; he saw that Remus was holding his round stomach protecting his child. His eyes went wide at the possibilities of what the Prince could achieve for his people by giving birth to a child of werewolf blood.
"How can we trust you? We have heard so many empty promises before. If we lay down our arms will we be given safe passage to this realm you speak of?" the old werewolf seemed skeptical. He still wasn't sure he could trust Remus. He kept on looking at the prince's eyes but all he could see was kindness and sincerity.
"Yes, you have my word as your Prince that I will give you sanctuary in our realm. Please get the others to stop fighting and I'll get my husband to make a portal to transport you to Lunariana. You seem to be their leader; could I have your name?"
"My name is Benjamin Jerens." He answered gruffly. Then he turned around and howled at the others to come to him. Soon he was surrounded by about forty werewolves who were looking at Remus with curiosity. They saw his battle robes and royal insignia. They also noticed his circlet on his head indicating his royal status.
Remus saw that they were waiting for him to talk. (Sirius love, if you're not too busy could you come and meet me in the atrium.)
(Give me a few minutes Remi; I've caught two of the assassins I still need to catch another. Ah there he is... Be there in a minutes. I don't know where Voldemort gets these clowns but they sure are easy to catch.)
Remus chuckled as he thought of his husband sneaking around trying to catch what Voldemort considers his top agents. Sirius was probably having a grand time. He turned back to the werewolves who were still glancing at him.
"I am Prince Remus Lupin; I have offered your leader sanctuary for all of you in Lunariana. This is a colony of werewolves where we live normal and happy lives. We have treaties with other countries for the families that chose to live in this realm. You're given special citizenship cards that let the local authorities know that you live under our laws. This means, that you can get married, have children, and even hold regular jobs without fear of discrimination. You will be shown a new way to transform that makes it lest painful and where you keep your mind even without the expensive wolfsbane potion. Please cease this worthless fighting. What my aunt Lady Marcella told you about being able to control the world is bogus. We need to live in peace with the other races of this world, let's stop our fighting now. This way the Grand Phoenix Lord and Grand Lord of Unicorns will have a better chance at beating the monster and you can go and live in one of the werewolves' colonies within the realm. And before you ask about returning to this world every werewolf has access to a portal necklace that lets you come back here and return home at your discretion. This way you can chose to work in the human world of in the werewolf realm. The only ministry giving us problems now is the one here in England. Everywhere else in the world is covered by treaties on which my mother has worked very had to achieve. She could explain things to you better than I ever could. Please give us a chance."
The werewolves seemed to be thinking about his offer. Most of the older werewolves were hesitant; they had been hurt so many times before. They younger crowd was a bit more enthusiastic about the whole thing. They looked to their leader as to see what they should do. Remus started absentmindedly to rub his stomach while he was talking. This got the attention of most of the men and women in front of him. Eyes went wide when they saw the small lump that was very evident. The prince was pregnant could he be telling them the truth about being able to have a normal live in this realm?
One young female werewolf walked over to Remus. "My prince, are you really pregnant? Can we really have children of our own?"
"Yes we can, there is a way for werewolf to get a child. It's a long explanation but everything will be taught to you when you arrive in realm. Do any of you have anymore doubts about leaving this place?"
Many of them shook their heads. Most of them now dared to hope for a better future.
At that moment a ruckus could be heard near them. Sirius came into the atrium with three assassins bound and gagged floating behind him. He dumped them in a heap and made his way to his husband. Curses were still flying all over the place but the animagus seemed to take it all in stride.
"What is going on Remus?"
"I've offered them sanctuary in one of our colonies in exchange for peace. I think we would do well to have them as allies instead of enemies. What do you think love?"
"I think it's a great idea, did you need me for something else I see that the battle is starting to heat up." Sirius was pointing at Ron and Hermione who had just appeared with a few more prisoners. They turned back towards another corridor and disappeared.
"Yes open a portal to my father's home; I want him to help them settle in, then I'll return to the fight."
Sirius took his staff and made the portal to the werewolf realm. He called for his father in law to come through to greet his new subjects. Prince Joshua was surprised to see so many werewolves that wanted to switch side. He smiled at his son who had already done so much for his kind. The other werewolves seemed in awe of the regal looking man that was next to their Prince.
"I'm Prince Joshua Lang; as my son has probably already told you I will help you settle in to your new homes. Please follow me through the portal and my wife and I can begin helping you." Joshua turned towards his son and thanked him. "You are a very compassionate man my boy, with you by my side we will be able to really help all werewolves." After giving Remus a quick hug he turned a round and returned through the portal. Many werewolves followed him. A few took more time to decide what they wanted. Only one remained in front of the portal, he turned around to look at Remus; it was the leader of the pack.
"I will always be grateful for the chance you have given my people your highness. Thank you."
"You're welcome Benjamin and please call me Remus. Now go so that Sirius can close the portal, we need to return to the battle."
Benjamin left and once the portal was closed Sirius and Remus made their way where the death eaters were trying to destroy the doors to the minister's office. Hermione was sending stunning spells but some kind of shield was stopping her spells. Sirius used his staff and finally was able to break through. The death eaters broke through just a few seconds before the shield was broken. Sirius, Remus and Hermione made it in the minister's office just in time to see someone send Fudge a killing curse. They had been too late to save the man. Hermione was royally pissed off. She started sending very strong stunning curses making quick work of the half dozen death eaters in front of her. Ron made it to the office in time to see a fuming Hermione kick some death eater butt. He quickly scanned the room and saw the body of the minister. He understood why she was so made. She didn't like to fail at anything.
"Mione, love I think they're all unconscious already. You can stop cursing them now." He chuckled at seeing his little spitfire send one last curse at the closest death eater next to her.
She blushed and turned around mumbling something about pregnancy hormones and that if her fiancé didn't shut up and stop laughing he would be sleeping on the couch for a few weeks. Ron having super sensitive elf hearing paled and quickly shut up. Sirius laughed and made a whipping gesture towards the red head. Remus gave him a look that made him also calm himself. Ron returned the whipping gesture when the two pregnant people were not looking. Sirius just shrugged good naturally and left to help others in the battle.
