Ok. I'm sorry. Harry will not be lost at the Zoo. This story has taken a different turn. But don't worry. James and Sirius will have to look after Harry and, well, to men in their early twenties and a young child prone to walking off? Sounds like it's gonna happen. But. Will Harry walk off or will he be taken? You will find out.

Chapter 13: The RMMH

May 8th, 1981- The RMMH, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The ambulance pulled out of the Zoo and Lily quickly pulled something from Remus' pocket. Enough damage had been done today and Lily didn't need the paramedic finding any of their wands. Unfortunately, the paramedic, whose name was Richard turned around and spotted it. He smiled.

"Thought so. Phil, head for the RMMH. Don't worry," he told Amy and Lily, "he'll be fine."

Lily smiled when Richard showed her his wand. "You're a wizard."

"Yes. Anything I need to know about your friend here?"

Lily got worried. She knew that she couldn't tell about Remus' secret but she also knew that a doctor would find out eventually. But then again, it was quite awhile until the full moon.

"Not that I know of."

The ambulance quickly arrived outside of an ugly building that looked far too unsanitary for a hospital. The two paramedics jumped out and took Remus up to the front door. Lily watched with Amy as they walked directly through the door. The two women followed them and found themselves inside a clean, white building, far differ from the outside.

They followed the men until a lady in a cream smock stopped them.

"Excuse me miss, but you can't go down there."

"That's my boyfriend," Amy said, tears flowing down the usually composed woman's face, "he needs me."

"I understand but I need you to fill some forms out so we can help him get better quicker."

Amy sadly nodded and she and Lily followed the women.

It was then that the Healers discovered the bite mark on Remus and deduced that they had a werewolf on their hands.

Head Zookeeper's Office, Melbourne Zoo, Victoria, Australia.

James and Sirius looked at the Head Zookeeper as the man clutched the video. Both tried to formulate a plan but neither of the young men could. Then the Zookeepers face went blank and he adopted a carefree, far away look. The two British men looked at the young Australian in the room. Michael stood beside them, wand pointed at the Zookeeper. He walked over to the man and took the video. James stood and tapped the video cassette with his wand, vanishing it.

"Was that the only surveillance video?" Michael asked his fellow Australian.

The man nodded, "No more."

"Good," Michael turned to the other men, who looked at him, "We need to leave before…"

Alas, Michael could not finish his sentence. At that moment, the police arrived.

Now, they really were in trouble.

RMMH

Helen Apparated into the RMMH and looked around. She ran over to Amy and immediately asked about Remus.

"He's still unconscious. The snake cracked a few ribs."

Amy looked petrified and Lily worried. It was then that Helen noticed the lack of males. James, Sirius and Harry were nowhere to be seen. Samantha was also missing. But so were her two children. Michael and Amanda, Lily told her, were at the Zoo. James and Sirius would have to explain what happened and they were likely to hex the Zookeepers.

The Healers called them in and told them that Remus would wake soon. Helen looked around and noticed that Remus was in a private room. The Healers had discovered he truth about her beloved cousin. They knew that Remus was a werewolf and had isolated him. She shared this with Lily.

"But they still talked about him like he was normal. Usually, they treat him wrong, like he is a piece of slime."

"Australians are different Lily. We welcome people of all types here. That's why we are so diverse."

"But, I hear about racism and everything. Australians treat foreigners like scum."

"No, not all of us think that way. Only the extremists think that way. A true Australian doesn't care about skin colour or place of birth. We will welcome anyone wih open arms and a mug of beer. It's just they way we are. Oh, well we don't welcome terrorists and drug dealers and such but you know what I mean."

Lily smiled. She really did like Australians.

Australian Ministry of Magic, Canberra, ACT (Australian Capital Territory), Australia

James, Sirius, Michael and Samantha sat at the Australian Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, the Aurors had been notified when Michael had used magic and had come to tell him off. James and Sirius were relieved until they had been told that they would have to go the Ministry. Unfortunately, the Ministry Headquarters was located in Canberra. They were no longer in Victoria. James, while being led out of the Zoo, had seen Amanda. He slightly shook his head at her and Amanda had turned away and gone to the Zoo Cafeteria. Samantha had walked into the office moment after the Aurors and was now with the boys. The boys gave an account of what had happened, James and Sirius saying that they had killed the snake with magic. The Aurors were unconvinced, saying that they had seen bite marks. An Auror looked up their names on the British Magical Registrar and discovered Remus' secret. They were then released.

Michael sat in the kitchen of his house with James and Sirius. Samantha had gone to take a shower.

"I just don't understand. Why did they let us off?" Sirius said, pacing the floor.

James stared thoughtfully into the fireplace where they had just Flooed to. He then heard a load POP. Someone had Apparated.

"Maybe I can be of assistance?"

Michael stood, drawing his wand. James and Sirius grabbed one of Michael's arms each and held him back. An elderly looking man stood in the doorway, with a greasy haired young man beside him and a stern looking older witch on his other side.

Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape had appeared in the house.

Oh uh, Michael thought, Mum and Dad will have a fit if I tell them I let strangers into the house.

A/N:

Munchkin: Michael, I think you have other things to worry about young man. You have already used illegal magic, attacked a Muggle, been taken to Auror Headquarters, used the Floo network without your parents permission and now you have to explain to your mother why her favourite cousin has been attacked.

Michael: I am in trouble, aren't I?

Munchkin: Yes you are. But don't worry, she already knows about Remus.

Michael: Ok. So instead of being killed, buried 6 feet under and erased from the family history, I'm just going to be killed?

Munchkin: No. It's worse then that.

Michael: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Munchkin: Yes. (Notices someone reviewing her story). Ah, my faithful reviewer. By now you have realized that you shouldn't listen to any hints that I give you. Sirius and James will be told off by Lily, have no doubt. James will lose Harry in Victoria somewhere, have no doubt. Remus will explain how he became an Animagus, have no doubt. They will travel to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, have no doubt. Michael will get his brothers back with the Marauders help, have no doubt. Other then that, the remainder of the story is as much an enigma to you as it is to me. Now please review. Flames are welcome as long as they have someway tat I can improve the story on it. Flushing the story down the toilet is not an option. Thank you and goodnight.
