Again this took awhile! I see all this action in my head and I seem to get stuck on these tiny details that end up taking me forever to put down in print! Well here it is…I have oh so much more going on in this head of mine that hopefully it will all come out smoothly! I hope this came out in a non confusing way and that you all enjoy it!

I have had some new readers review my story and I really thank each and everyone of you for it. My next chapter I will say my thanks properly as I have been remiss in doing so lately! Please do review though for I really love to hear everyone's input on if they are enjoying things or not!

Thank you all!

"Albus." Arthur's voice called out to the headmaster, interrupting him from thoughts of all the recent events in the last week. He turned his head to the fireplace to see the newly appointed Minister of Magic's head in his fireplace.

With a familiar twinkle he gave the man a smile as he spoke. "Ah good day Minister. I trust you are doing well in your new position?"

He tried to contain his chuckle as he saw the man blush lightly and look uncomfortable. "Albus, I told you to stop with that Minister nonsense didn't I?"

"Ah yes you did, forgive me Arthur. Now what brings you to my fireplace?" He inquired as he stood up and walked to the center of his office to get a better view.

"We need to meet. I have contacted Fred and George as well as Tonks and Moody and let them know to meet at Grimmauld in thirty minutes." Albus couldn't help but feel proud of the authority in Arthur's voice. The man deserved his new position but was saddened that Molly was not around to see her husband. She had been a terrible loss to the order and it had taken a greater toll on her husband and children. Their family was so close knit and Molly in a lot of ways was the glue that kept not only them together, but many within the order as well.

Through her loss the order learned just how much she contributed to their group and each of them struggled in their own way to repair the gaping holes that were left as a result of her death. In time it was their tribute to the kind a motherly woman to band together and become a family unit. Even Severus grudgingly admitted that she had been important in his life. He probably would have starved had she not force fed him each time he was within her view, and even though the man hated it he couldn't help but feel something each time the woman had stood up for him so adamantly.

Albus nodded and told Arthur that he would be there promptly.

The group all sat around waiting as Dumbledore made his entrance and sat down to join them.

"Good, now that everyone is here I will start." Arthur stated as he picked up a thick file.

"Now we have been on alert since Harry, Ron and Severus went out to follow Remus using the tracker potion. In the last few hours there has been a severe influx of magic just outside of Paris in this location." With a flick of his wand he opened a map and levitated it beside him. He pointed to the map with the tip of his wand to show the location he was speaking of.

"What is odd about this influx though is the intensity and the changes within them. It started off strong at first, but has now dimmed slightly. Upon further investigation in previous records of the area we have noted the use of magic, but not enough to actually have flagged the Ministry into action. I took some time to inspect our recordings even further and there must be some strong wards in the area covering spell usage because the traces of some of the spells used are actually unforgivables." Arthur paused as he looked around the faces in front of him.

"You mean to say that the unforgivables have been unnoticed because they have appeared to look like standard spells?" Tonks inquired.

"That is exactly what I'm saying. Whatever wards they have up are strong ones, which means that we have a fairly powerful wizard or witch in league with whoever this is we are dealing with." The group of people started talking to each other, all speculating on what this could actually mean for the wizarding community.

Dumbledore cleared his throat a few times as he stood in front of them. Arthur nodded to the headmaster and sat down, allowing Albus to take over the meeting.

"It appears that we are dealing with more than just muggles in this situation, so we must take every caution." The group muttered in agreement before Albus continued.

"From the look of the amount of magic being used it would appear that the three have made their move to rescue the rest. They will need backup support now more than ever. Fred and George, you two gather a group of Aurors and make your way to the location. Surround the area while Tonks and Moody and their team size up what you are dealing with and enter to help out Harry, Ron and Severus. We don't know what to expect, so use caution." Albus looked about waiting for any questions but seeing as there was none they closed the meeting and each went to gather their forces.

Hermione watched through the grate of the top of the elevator while her chest heaved deeply from her sudden burst of adrenaline. Remus was laying on the floor of the elevator, recouping from his chin clapping so hard onto the floor until the chime could be heard as the elevator lurched to a stop. Remus lifted his head and looked up to the roof of the car and she knew that his eyes were locked on hers.

"What the fuck!" A voice exclaimed and Hermione watched as Remus's head snapped to the door of the elevator. A loud growl rumbled through his body and then Hermione could see him no more. She knew exactly what was happening though as the loud screams filled the hallway and the sound of rending flesh could be heard. 'What floor are we on?' She wondered to herself.

She gathered her courage to open the door on the roof so that she could hang down to see what was going on. Slowly she lowered herself until she could see down into the hallway. Blood covered the floor and people were running down the hallway screaming as Remus bounded behind, catching one person and then another. A door halfway down opened suddenly and Hermione felt like screaming out as she saw Harry run out of the room.

Without thinking she dropped down from the roof and landed like a cat onto her feet and hands. She bounded out of the elevator and jumped over a fallen body, but as her foot came down it was to land into a pool of blood and her leg slid and sent her sprawling down onto the ground. Hermione cried out as she felt a muscle in her groin pull and the impact of the floor upon her tailbone.

"Hermione!"

Hermione looked up with tears in her eyes at the heavenly voice that called out to her. "Harry.."

"Shhhh it is ok 'Mione, we are here." He said as he ran up to her.

"Remus..we need to get him out of here Harry." Hermione said as Harry helped her up.

"Bloody Hell!" A familiar voice shouted from down the hall.

"Oh Merlin, Ron!" Harry cried out as he realized his friend and Severus would not be expecting a werewolf to be heading straight for them. Harry leapt away from Hermione shouting at her to stay where she was while he charged into danger.

Hermione meanwhile furrowed her brow as anger overtook her. How dare he think that she should just stay behind like a child, but then she realized that she had stomped her foot and huffed loudly. She smacked her palm onto her forehead and muttered to herself. "I'm such a child."

"Think Hermione, think." If a muggle were to look at her at that moment, they would probably be vaguely reminded of a twisted version of a muggle children's classic called 'Winnie the Pooh'. Suddenly an idea popped into her head and her eyes scanned the hallway.

"It has to be here." She muttered to herself as she ran to one of the doors beside the elevator. One by one she checked each room until finally she shouted gleefully in triumph. Three doors down on the left side of the hall the place that she was looking for was found and she ran in.

"Draco, take my wand and I will go wandless…" Severus started until he saw the blond boy shaking his head.

"I can't use it Severus." He stated as he put his hand on the silver collar around his neck. "This won't allow us to."

Severus gave him a confused look for a moment, but nodded knowing that he would learn the details after they were all safe.

Draco watched as his old potion's professor started thinking a way to try and keep them all safe until he turned to look at Ginny. He took the young witch's hand in his and gave her a concerned look.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

Ginny furrowed her brow at him and put a hand on his cheek. "Are you alright? I saw what Hermione did to you…"

Draco shook his head. "She had to do that you know. She apologized before she cast the spell on me. I'm not quite sure what she is up to, but I have a feeling she is learning more than we could have hoped to cooped up in these cells."

Suddenly their conversation was cut off when movement was seen down the other row of cells. They all ran to the wall to watch as a group of guards and employees burst into the room. Their mouths were wide from their screams and their faces filled with horror and panic. They broke off into groups as they ran into cells, closing the doors and trying to hold them fast against the onslaught of terror that was Remus Lupin the werewolf.

Severus opened the door of the cell and cast locking charms onto all the doors, effectively sealing in all the occupants within. Draco couldn't help but chuckle quietly as he realized they were all trapped within their own jail, but they would not realize until it was too late.

Ron and Harry burst through the door now and with a quick glance they found the rest of the group and ran off in their direction. Not seconds behind them the large furry figure burst into the room in a flurry of blood and drool. Nails scrabbled over the floor as Remus tried to gain purchase on the flooring. First he ran into the walls of the cells, sending each group of guards and employees across their cells and tripping onto the floor. The walls were thick and strong though and kept them all safe from the nails and teeth threatening to tear them apart.

The werewolf assessed the room then, his body still except for the loud panting as he regained his breath. Harry and Ron ran down the aisle and Severus opened the door for them, letting them run into the little room. The werewolf seemed to realize that the occupants within were ones that he could not reach and then noticed a door open with warm bodies that he could rend. A growl rippled through his throat and he started to slowly creep his way towards them. Harry was just about to run into the room when he realized something.

"Fuck!" He yelled out.

Draco wondered what was wrong with Harry and why the hell he wasn't running into a room that would keep him safe. His eyes moved towards Remus and suddenly the werewolf stopped, his ears flickered and his head turned suddenly. A moment of silence was broken only by each of their loud breathing. One second, then another and then suddenly Remus howled loudly and ran out the exit of the cell block.

"Where did he go?" Draco asked quietly.

"Hermione…" Harry stated quietly with a grim look on his face.

Remus saw flesh to destroy, blood to lap up and more creatures to kill and he was about to do so when he heard it. The female, he recognized the female. He had heard this one before but she had disappeared on him so long ago. The call was for him, she would be his if he could catch her. His mate perhaps? He needed to find out.

He howled his response to her, 'I'm coming' he called out and his muscles bunched up tightly and released as he bounded out of the room towards her.
