Ch.27: Wolfethian Wars

Lily got up the next day feeling sad that Ben was leaving, yet happy that she had gotten the book. Today was the last Hogsmead visit for the school before winter break and Lily was looking forward to having some free time with her friends. Lily got dressed warmly for there was snow falling outside. James was waiting for her downstairs with the others. Lily came out of her room and greeted every one.

"Hey Lily you ready?" Emily asked happily. She was standing next to Remus, holding his hand.

"Yeah, where shall we go first?" Lily asked grabbing a hold of James's left hand.

"How about the sweets shop, they have a new sweet out and I'm dying try it." Sirius said.

"Okay." Everyone agreed. They all walked out to the carriages that would take them to Hogsmaead. With in an hour's time they were there. They made their way to the sweets shop. Sirius bought a bag of sweets, as did lily. They walked about the village for a little while stopping at various store to look. Remus and Emil stopped at the book store with Lily while the others went to the Quidditch store next door. Lily perused the charms section of the store while Remus looked at the history books. Emily went straight to the new papers and periodicals. Emily picked up one of the newspapers that said in big bold type "les Papiers de clair de lune."- The moonlight Papers (I used a translator, so it may be wrong, I apologize if it is)

Emily read down the page quickly, anger filled her mind; she hated what was going on. Reports of werewolf attacks all over France and England were filling the page. Werewolves; being taken in to custody for no good reason; were reported. She flipped the pages frantically and read the head line "Wolfethian hunters searching for pure breeds, half breeds and Rub breeds."

Emily quickly ran over to Remus who was standing next to Lily talking about the book he was reading.

"Remus!" she exclaimed coming to him quickly shoving the paper in front of him.

"What, what?" he asked worried by the look of anger coming from her eyes.

"Read it." She whispered in an angered tone. Emily looked up to Lily. Lily looked down at the article with the bolded headline.

"It's in French." Lily said not being able to read it and confused.

Remus read the article, he had learned how to speak French while he was living there from the time he was born, and his mother is French.

His eyes widened as he read on, his eyes zooming down the page and then he flipped the page over and continued reading.

"What is it?" Lily asked concernedly. She looked from Emily to Remus not understanding what was going on. Suddenly Alicia, Sirius and James came into the book store.

"He guy what's up, Emily what's wrong?" Alicia asked worriedly walking up to her friend who now almost in tears.

Remus looked up and began to speak in Lycanthic (I made that up, it's supposed to be a werewolf language)

"I didn't know the war had gotten this far?" Remus asked to Emily.

"Yes it has, I didn't think they would be sending out hunters though. They aren't just catching criminals; they're catching anyone who is in relation to Greyback, anyone who has been bitten by him or his followers." Emily said with a tear in her eye.

"They wouldn't come on to the Grounds would they?" Remus asked in English worriedly, he closed the paper up quickly as several students passed them.

"Guys what's going on?" James asked confused.

Remus looked from Emily to James.

"Let's go to the broom sticks." Remus said grabbing Emily's hand. They all went outside and headed to the Three Broomsticks.

They grabbed a table in the back and put a silencing charm around them so no one could listen in on their conversation.

"What's going on?" Sirius asked looking at the Paper.

"The war has officially started, not the war with the dark lord but the Wolfethian war, a war between the two largest Werewolf packs in Europe. There have been numerous riots, attacks, killings, and searches."

"What war is this it hasn't been talked about?" Alicia asked

"It's a war that affects all werewolves, pure breeds, half breeds and Rub breeds."

"Rub breeds?" Lily asked

"Those who were bitten out of the blue like me." Remus said. He opened the paper and once again began to read more while Emily explained it.

"They have now jus released that Wolf hunters hare storming the country in search of those who have been bitten by a man named Fenrir Greyback, who is the most powerful werewolf to this day. They are capturing them and killing some."

"Why?" James asked, looking over to Remus with a worried look.

"I don't know, but it isn't good, they are using moon beams, which are deadly in order to capture them."

"What are moonbeams?"

"Moon beams are blue boxes that when they are opened release the light of the moon, causing any werewolf to transform on the spot. They are also using wolf calls, which are dreadful, it s like a dog whistle, only werewolves are the only one who can hear it and the noise in makes it torture." Emily said.

Remus looked up and began to speak in Lycanthic once more.

"Emily you don't think that, our status will be found, do you?"

"I hope not, although I did get my marking last year which puts me in more of a danger."

"Oh crap so did I." Remus said now remembering that he had gotten his tattoo last year as well as all werewolves did.

"Where is yours?" Emily asked curiously.

"Uh . . ." Remus began then put down the paper and rolled up his sleeve. There on his shoulder was a tattoo with a picture of a moon, a dementor and music note along with the words December FG.

"Damn moony when did you get that and where?" James asked surprised by his mates tattoo.

"Last year, over the holiday when my parents died, I needed identification in order to stay at the Davenport School for Werewolves, it's a long story." Remus said.

"You went to Davenport?" Emily asked "So did I."

"Yeah, do you have one?"

"Yeah it's on my shoulder blade; it's a bit smaller though."

The group continued to talk about the Wolfethian War and how Emily and Remus were now in danger. It was soon time to leave Hogsmead and return to school.

When they arrived at school Remus and Emily went straight to Dumbledore's office.

They stood outside for several minutes while the stairs appeared. They quickly made their way up the stairs and knocked on Dumbledore's door. The door opened and Remus and Emily saw him sitting at his desk. He looked up from the newspaper he was skimming.

"Hello." He said cheerfully folding the paper up. He gestured them to enter.

Remus and Emily came up to his desk.

"Professor, look." Remus said handing him the French newspaper.

Dumbledore looked down. He read it; he looked up to the two students.

"I'm sorry my French isn't that well, could you tell me what is wrong?" he asked

"Professor the Wolfethian war has broken out and hunters have started their search for werewolves, pure breed and Rub breed." Emily exclaimed.

"The hunters are followers of Fenrir Greyback, they are hunting those who have been bitten by Greyback," Remus said.

Dumbledore looked away in thought. He got up.

"You both were victims of him were you not?" he asked turning towards them.

"Yes," they both replied.

"Very well, I will do everything in my power to keep them from entering the grounds."

"Thank you sir," Emily said sighing with relief.

"Actually, I would like to talk to you about your exams from last night." Dumbledore continued.

"Yes sir?" Remus asked. Dumbledore gestured them to take a seat. They sat.

"You both scored very high on the exam. You both are also the only werewolves the Order has at this current time. I was wondering, and I understand if you wish not to, but we do need the help and that is with Greyback. Mr. Weasely has found Greyback's hide out in France. I would like you both to go to the Midnight shiner, it's a hang out where Greyback does his dealings and I would like for you to spy on him, what do you say?"

Remus looked to Emily who looked to him as well.

"I'll do it." Emily quickly said.

"So will I," Remus complied

"Good, I will give you word for when you leave, it will be in a couple of days." Dumbledore said.

"Oh and if you could tell Ms. Evans that "The candidates have been chosen", she will understand." Dumbledore said as Remus and Emily got up. They nodded in return and left the office.

They made their way back to the heads common room where the rest of them were sitting around. Remus and Emily walked in.

"Hey what did he say?" Alicia asked getting up.

Remus and Emily walked over to the group and sat down.

"Just that he will do everything he can to keep them from entering the grounds. Oh and Lily he said . . ."

"He said the candidates have been chosen. What does that mean?" Emily finished.

Lily looked up, she thought to herself

"They must have passed the exam." She said to herself

"Then they are official agents." She said once again. Suddenly she felt a nudge on her arm. She snapped out of her train of thought and looked up. Every one was starring at her.

"What, what does it mean?" James asked worriedly.

"Nothing, uh you all did well on the exam that's all." Lily said then looked away to the portal entrance.
