Lupin's Little Dark One
A/N: Last chapter was chapter Seven, I know it says six. I sowwy.
Last Time:
"I have had enough of you!" Kieran said. "I did nothing to you and you insist on treating me like shit!" Hermione's eyes widened. "Now shut up, or I'll shut you up okay? You want to be in the circle? I've had a horrible evening. I found out I'm a psychic, forgot my father was my father, and I have a suspicion that I nearly told a death eater something I haven't even told Harry. And I'm supposedly bound to him! By flippin' Voldemort! Okay, now you know just about everything. Feel better?" Hermione looked down at the floor. Kieran stormed off again towards Dumbledore's.
Chapter Eight: The Hockey Club
Kieran reached the statue. She paused and took a few deep breaths to calm herself. In that amount of time the trio she left behind caught up.
"All three of you just go." Kieran said.
"I'm not going to leave you to rant at Dumbledore." Harry said. "Because he'll let you go on and on all night long."
"This is a matter concerning me." Ron said. "My dad has been after the Malfoy family for years now."
"If it involves Harry and Ron, it involves me." Hermione stated. Kieran rolled her eyes and turned to the statue.
"Hershey's Kisses." Kieran said. The staircase formed again. She rushed up it followed by the others. "Dumbledore!" When she looked up to the headmaster she found him speaking with her father, who was wracked in sobs and soaked in tears. She froze in her spot. Remus looked up and made eye contact with her. She turned around to head out but Harry and Ron stopped her. Hermione rushed to Remus's side.
"Yes Miss Lupin?" Dumbledore asked.
"I...well was speaking with Draco Malfoy, and I was going to tell him something, but we made contact... Sir, I saw the dark mark." Kieran said nervously. Dumbledore nodded.
"Miss Granger, if you would go alert Professor Snape that I would like the presence of Mr. Malfoy and himself. Then you may return to your dormitory." Dumbledore said. Hermione nodded and excused herself from the room. "Mr. Weasley, if you would please get Professor McGonnagal and Neville Longbottom."
"What's Neville got to do with this?" Ron asked.
"Actually, get your sister as well." Dumbledore said. "Harry would you go and get Professor Sprout and tell her I need the select Hufflepuffs. Then could you get Professor Binns and his select Ravenclaws." Ron and Harry left. Kieran turned to go with them. "No, Miss Lupin, I would like you to stay here."
"But Harry has two stops, I could help him..." Kieran began.
"Oh, that is right. I'll go and assist." Dumbledore said. He walked out. Kieran watched her headmaster leave and turned back to her father.
"Kieran, I was speaking to Dumbledore about memory charms. It could help you move on." Remus said.
"I want to move on, but I don't want to forget." Kieran replied.
"That's what Dumbledore said, he suggested a pensieve." Remus said. "You could store those memories in there and you'd always have them, but they wouldn't be in your head at a constant."
"No thanks." Kieran told him. "I'd rather keep my memories in my head, perhaps only trashing the last two days."
"I know it must not be easy for you to deal with these changes." Remus said. "But you mustn't let it interfere with everyday life, you're bottling everything inside and when something happens you're going to erupt."
"You mean like you did earlier." Kieran retorted.
"As I hear you did." Remus remarked.
"How would you feel if your father ran out on you?" Kieran inquired.
"The same way you'd feel if your child forgot they were yours." Remus replied.
"I'm sorry I'm not perfect." Kieran snapped.
"I wouldn't want you to be." Remus said. "In the tale of life, nobody is ever a Mary Sue."
"Mom used to say that whenever I got into trouble." Kieran whispered.
"I know, Kieran, although you haven't seen me, I've seen you growing up, the video camera you thought was so dumb, they came to me." Remus told her. She smiled. "See memories can be good ones. You just need to remind yourself that you can't change the past, and you can't blame yourself." Kieran nodded slowly.
"I just feel so responsible, he was looking for me." Kieran said.
"But Canada wasn't prepared for him." Remus said."Come here, I think we both need a hug right now, I know I need to feel my baby girl in my arms for once." She walked over to him and embraced him as Snape and Draco entered.
"Kieran, what's going on? Why did you run off like that?" Draco asked.
"I'm quite suspicious myself Remus." Snape said, eyeing Kieran cruelly. Ron came in with a boy with brown hair and blue eyes who paused at the sight of Snape and rushed over to Remus. A red-headed girl and McGonnagal followed them. "Minerva, I do believe Albus has gone mad."
"Trust him Severus, he knows what he is doing." McGonnagal replied. Dumbledore and Harry came in, a trail of four others with them.
"You are all most likely confused to why you have been collected here tonight." Dumbledore began. "I am not the one to tell you why, Kieran and Harry are, for there's something you all hold in common." Kieran and Harry exchanged looks. "But Kieran and Harry have the most of this thing due to occurrences in their lives. So I yield the floor to them." Kieran and Harry stepped forward and looked at all the faces and centered in on Ron's.
"We all hate Voldemort. But we don't fear him or his minions." Kieran said. Harry raised an eyebrow.
"All of us, minus Malfoy, because of his house, and Kieran, we were in the DA. We want to do something against Voldemort." Harry continued.
"Brilliant Observation Potter," Draco commented.
"So Dumbledore called us all together because he knew we could work as a team, against Voldemort." Kieran said. "Because we all have reasons to hate him, and these are reasons that will keep us hating him."
"Whether family legacy." Harry said looking at Ron.
"Personal Attacks." Harry and Keiran said in unison. Kieran looked a moment at Draco.
"Or Family Life." Kieran said. Draco looked away from her. "We all have our reasons. Some are more grave than others, but all are just as good."
"It's up to us to protect and recruit other students." Harry said. Dumbledore clapped.
"Marvelous speech, now perhaps we could do with a nice sit down and share, everyone take a seat and one at a time we'll share our reasons." Dumbledore said. "I'll do first." When everyone one was settled Dumbledore cleared his throat. "I am Albus Dumbledore, previously of the Gryffindor House, and my reasons for working against Lord Voldemort are; He murdered a student 50 years ago and resulted in Hagrid's expulsion, he has killed my brother, and he is behind the killings of many of my students and friends." Dumbledore finished. "Remus."
"I'm Remus Lupin, previously of Gryffindor, I'm against Voldemort because he killed my best friends, my high school sweetheart, and he tried to kill my child." Remus said. "Uh, Severus."
"This is ridiculous." Snape began, shaking his head. "I am Severus Snape, previously of Slytherin, I oppose Voldemort, because after initially joining him as a graduate from Hogwarts, I have realized the horrors he causes, especially after he murdered my parents." He shook his head again. "Minerva."
"Minerva McGonnagal, Gryffindor, Voldemort killed my husband and daughter." McGonnagal said quickly. "Harry."
"I'm Harry Potter, Gryffindor. Voldemort murdered my parents and tried to kill me, his followers framed Sirius Black and got him killed." Harry said. "Ron."
"Ron Weasley, Gryffindor. Hate him because he possessed my sister and caused me to get a nasty bump from wizard's chess, then he goes and tries to kill my mates. Nasty Git." Ron told them. "Gin."
"Ginny Weasley. Gryffindor. Do I really need a bigger reason than him possessing me?" Ginny said sarcastically. "Kieran."
"Kieran Lupin, Gryffindor." Kieran began, she lifted up her shirt exposing her scar. "Killing curse from Voldemort's wand. Not to mention the distruction of my school, friends, family, and band." She pulled her shirt down. "Draco."
"Draco Malfoy, Slytherin." Draco took a deep breath. "Over the summer my parents forced me to get the mark. I said one thing in public about Voldemort and he killed both of my parents. Not to mention he's had control over my family for fifty years, and that's quite long enough I think. Besides, he kills people that had no quarrel with him, just for sport, how sick minded and wrong is that. I mean, I know my father was no better, but my father was only thirty six, Voldemort's been doing this long enough." Draco blushed and stopped. "Longbottom."
"N-Neville, uh, G-Gryffindor... he... he used the Crutias curse 27 times on my mum, and 34 times on my dad, caused mental instabilities." Neville said in a small nervous voice. "Uh...Justin."
"Justin Finn-Fletchy, Hufflepuff, uhm, well. Voldemort's an ass." Justin said. "Hannah."
"Hannah Abbott, Hufflepuff. I concure with Justin." Hannah squeaked. "Cho!"
"Cho Chang, Ravenclaw. Voldemort killed Cedric Diggory." Cho said solemnly. "Padma."
"Padma Patil, Ravenclaw. I hate Voldemort because he killed my father, and my sister actually considered joining him." Padma said.
"See now, we know each other a little better." Dumbledore said. "Kieran, Harry, anything you'd like to add." The teens shook their heads. "Meeting for now dismissed. But we need a codename."
"How About the DA." Harry said.
"You already used it, it's going to be obvious." Kieran replied, "How about the Hockey Club."
"What's Hockey?" Ron asked. Kieran stared at him blankly.
"That one's something most of us would like to know." Draco said.
"Not now Kieran." Remus said. "Just remember you're in the hockey club and now go to bed!" Dumbledore stared at Remus.
"Yes, go on students." Dumbledore said turning to Remus.
"Did you want them to be here all night?" Remus asked. "Kieran is passionate about hockey."
"Let's just hope she'll be passionate about this." Snape sneered.
"You haven't even had her for classes yet Severus, you'll be surprised." McGonnagal said. "She's even better with her studies than Remus. I rather think this will be the year our Gryffindor 6th years get on track."
