I'm so happy that the last chapter was so well received. I was really worried about it because I wanted it to be special! Thank you all! My review responses are growing in size and I'm curious as to whether you would prefer to see them at the start of each chapter as I have been doing, or at the end. Let me know! Thanks!
Ashes Kittyhawk – I'm glad you thought to waste some time reading my story and thrilled that you have enjoyed it! I like reading Hermione/Snape stories as well but thought that Hermione/Sirius would be most ideal for my story line. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and I hope that you will continue to enjoy the story till the end.
sporty12gd4u – I agree it was about time! giggles Thank you so much for the review! Here is your update!
xxx-kisses-xxx – I agree completely with you..you are only as old as you feel, and Sirius strikes me as a young soul. He has been through hell and back but yet he always seemed to maintain that childish quality to him. I also agree that I just don't see Hermione with someone her own age, she is an old soul.
HSW – Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I hope that I get to have many Sirius/Hermione moments in the future, but with all my evil plots it will be difficult for them to be together. evil grin
PadfootsLuvr – Thank you so much! blushes I was terribly nervous about that chapter because I want to do them justice. I want to make their relationship special without being too fluffy, yet I don't want it to seem to angsty either. Let me know if I get too heavy either way! Lol
Mai Gamit – I always appreciate everyone's comments! Without them I don't think my story would have been what it is today. It is due to suggestions and questions that it has taken each and every turn, for it is no longer what I thought it would be. Thank you so much for your review!
dancing in rain – Pheromones galore in the previous chapter! Lol Yes Remus probably would have recoiled from their strength. As always thank you so much hun! Your letters of course inspired me yet again and I hope this new evil plot twist of mine works!
moonyNZ – lol we all hope they will escape don't we! I'm sure they will, but will they truly escape? evil laughter Thank you so much for your review hun! I appreciate it as always!
Remus felt hands pat down his robes and was thankful that his concealing spell did the job in hiding the vials hidden in them. His body remained limp as the men barked at one another.
"Ok he is clean, lets get him to the jet. The boss will want this one collared as soon as possible." One of the men yelled up to the front of the van. He got up and left Remus alone on the floor of the vehicle. He opened his eyes slightly to try and get a good look at the men that were taking him. They were both facing the windshield though so he could only see the backs of their heads. Remus would know who these men were though should he ever meet up with them from their scents.
"What the fuck do you think the boss wants em for anyways?" The driver asked.
"Beats me. Something about them being magical I heard. The collars are to control em." The other replied.
"Shit, you believe that shit?" The driver snorted.
"Fuck no! Wizards and Witches? I think the boss has fucking lost it is what I think, but he is the one paying me and so long as he does that, I'll do what he asks." The other stated.
"True that." The driver replied and both remained silent until they reached the airport.
Remus felt the vehicle lurch to a stop and he closed his eyes and resumed his acting. He heard the back doors of the vehicle open and two sets of arms grabbed at him, carting him out of the van and up to a set of stairs. One went first while the other followed, towing Remus up into the airplane.
The men threw him down and Remus used everything he could in his power not to grunt and to remain listless. They checked him over once more before moving away and when Remus was sure it was safe he opened his eyes to slits and took a look. The plane wasn't large, and it probably only sat 12 people. Remus was tucked in behind the seats, but his head was in the aisle so that he was able to see the two men moving about. Soon they were told to take their seats and the plane was lifting off.
He had no idea where they were taking him, but he let himself drift off into a light sleep while keeping his sense alert for voices or any other noises. It was close to an hour before the pilot's voice called back letting the men know that they would be landing in just a few minutes.
Remus had a feeling that they would be arriving to the final destination soon and he would have to make his move as quickly as he could. He closed his eyes again once the plane landed and when the vehicle stopped the men went into motion once again. Soon he felt himself being lifted once again and placed into the back of a van.
"I'll get the stuff from the plane Alex, you stay with him." The once man said leaving Alex in the van alone with Remus. He couldn't have asked for a better opportunity.
Quietly he unshrunk his wand and quickly he aimed at the man's back before he had a chance to turn around. "Petrificus Totalus"
The man Alex fell to the floor of the van and Remus got to work, yanking a hair from himself and the petrified body on the ground. He grabbed the vials of polyjuice and made a brew for himself and one for the guard. It took a few moments for him and the guard to transform and when it was complete he removed his previous spell and knocked the man unconscious.
"The fucker still out of it?" The other man asked startling Remus.
"Yeah." Remus replied and then he moved to the front seat of the van and sat down.
"Ok then lets get him to the base." The man stated. Remus kept his eyes on the road and watched the scenery go by and it was not lost on him where their new location was. 'Paris' he thought to himself. Soon they would be able to help their friends, hopefully.
The hallway was dank and musty as the cloaked figure walked down it until it reached a thick metal door that's hinges creaked as it opened. If someone were to encounter the figure at that moment, the only thing that would be as a distinguishable feature would be the brown eyes that peered out from behind a copper coloured mask. Those eyes though would never be recognized out in the public, for they looked common enough. The only difference between them and another's would be the power and authoritative look that they beheld.
The figure walked swiftly down a set of stairs into the very bowels of the earth until it opened up into a large cavern. From the figure's vantage point there could be seen a group of people all dressed similarly. No one knew the identity of the others, no one except the figure that had just entered. This one knew each one of them as the mysterious figure was their leader.
A throaty sound somewhat like a cough escaped the leader's mouth and the congregation down below all turned to look upwards. Upon seeing their leader enter they all started their greetings, "Il glory è alla guida della miniera." (Glory be to mine leader.)
The leader raised a hand to acknowledge them in his masculine tone. "The forces have been set in motion. Soon the barricade will be broken and we will cross over into the new realm to blend our forces. I have brought a new one into our fold, one beyond the barricade that will help us to do our damage and weaken both sides."
A figure down below stepped forward and each member acknowledge the cloaked figure beside them. A female voice started to speak out from behind the copper mask. "The war that once was shall be again, this time though the enemy will be the ones that were protected." She called up to the leader.
"Indeed. They will all be engrossed in their battles and their defenses shall be weakened. The Alimentazione Cabal will soon be able to use their positions to manipulate what is to come. Each of you will be key to inciting what will be." The leader continued.
"You will be known to the others as traitor del mago to the others. You know what I ask of you." The leader stated.
"Yes my Lord I do. They view me as a victim the fools, even my own son. The ministry will be infiltrated and soon we can infect it with your will." The woman called up.
"Good. Come to me traitor del mago. We have much to discuss. You all know what your tasks are, soon we will be able to act. Soon they will come to take their friends and they will bring the enemy with them into their fold." The leader waited for the woman to climb up the steps to the dais and when she reached his side he dismissed the Cabal.
The two cloaked figures made their way back through the tunnels until they reached another antechamber. The room was circular with a dozen doorways leading to various locations but the leader continued to walk straight to enter the doorway in front of them. They walked upwards along hallways and staircases until they reached a wall with a control panel. The leader placed his hand upon the panel and felt the familiar prick as the sensors not only read his prints but tested his DNA and gauged his body temperature.
The light on the panel flickered green and the wall shifted aside to reveal an office. Both figures walked into the room and the leader slipped off his mask and pushed down his hood to face the woman behind him. Devon McCain was pleased with how his plans were turning out. Soon Anarchy would rule both realms and from the background it would be his will, his word that would be final.
He did not want others to bow to him in the knowledge of who he was. The fact that he was unknown to all others besides the woman in front of him suited him. He related to the one they called Voldemort well enough, but Devon believed that the wizarding world's knowledge of the man was what was his final undoing. He would not make the same mistakes as had been made by countless others. Power came from more than just someone cowering before you. Power was the ability to create such anarchy, to bend the will of others without their knowledge towards your own cause. This was what he was doing with the humans and wizards that were involved in all around him.
Interpol would meet with the wizards soon, and there would be a joint effort to save those underground in his forest base. The contact would be made and the knowledge of the wizarding world will have been revealed and it would be too late for them to Obliviate the knowledge of their existence. Interpol had a long reach within the human world, and that reach would touch every other organization out there. Soon like many other private sects the wizards and witches will be discovered and the war they beheld with their enemy Voldemort would seem like a walk in the park.
If there was one thing that human's hated, it was to feel inferior to others. Their fear that a wizard and witch could harm and kill them will cause them to try and suppress their enemy. Little would they know that their enemy was far more dangerous than the wizards and witches. Devon was their common enemy but they would never know that.
The woman hummed softly behind her mask while she slipped off her cloak. Devon growled when he saw her gloriously naked body. "Just how I like you my dear."
"I know." She purred as she stepped forward.
Devon lifted the mask off her face and kissed her hungrily for a few moments. His hands skimmed over her luscious breasts until one hand drifted between her legs. She opened for him and he pressed two fingers up inside of her, causing her to moan deeply.
"So my love, do you wish to destroy Draco before he is saved?" Devon murmured against her neck, causing her to shiver.
"No my love. You know that my hold over him is strong and that he holds power within the Order." She purred.
"Is there anyone that you wish me to destroy then?" He asked and sucked on her neck while his fingers worked inside her.
She gasped and arched her back and panted her next answer. "The one I want destroyed is not within your grasp. One day though I will let you kill him.."
He growled against her neck. "Why do you hate this one that you want destroyed."
She looked at him with her stunning eyes. "Because he betrayed my husband."
"You hated your husband, that can't be all. I think it is because he spurned your advances, although my God the man must be a Eunuch if he did so." Devon said as he nibbled along her jaw.
"Merlin Devon you know me too well." Her body shivered. "Severus will rue the day he refused me." She growled and then kissed him hungrily.
Devon chuckled. "They are all fools Narcissa and soon they will dread the day that they underestimated you. It is important that they never learn about you until their dying breath, you understand this yes?"
"I understand my love." She purred while Devon pushed her towards his desk. He pushed a button on his phone and demanded that he not be disturbed while Narcissa Malfoy undid his pants. He growled as he plunged into her and the both of them forgot their plans and focused entirely on each other.
