Ch.34: The Truth surfaced
"Remus?"
" . . ."
"Remus?" Emily whispered once more. She stood over her boyfriend's bed and ducked down next to his ear and whispered again.
"Remus," The sandy haired boy's eyes shot open and looked up to the petite faced and brown curly haired girl in front of him and got up.
"Hey what is it?" Remus asked sitting up in bed with a worried tone.
"C'mon, we're leaving, for France. Sparkle the house elf just told me Dumbledore wants us in his office in ten minutes. You need to get ready." She whispered. She stood back as Remus got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
"Alright, I'll meet you down in five minutes he said as he closed the door to the bathroom. Emily made her way down stairs and waited.
Five minutes passed and Remus came down the stairs and they both headed to Dumbledore's office.
"Twinkie," Emily said. The gargoyles that stood in front of Dumbledore's office moved aside and the rising stair case appeared. They got on and were taken up to the office. The knocked and the door opened slowly by it's self.
Dumbledore sat at his desk with his hands folded together placed on top of the desk.
"Come in" he said calmly and tiredly, for it was four in the morning. Remus and Emily entered.
"Please sit, I need to inform you of a couple of things before you go." He said
Remus and Emily looked up with attention.
"Firstly, I thank you for waking up this early, I didn't think you would have to leave this early, but the meeting that you both are going to, I have heard just an hour ago has been moved, to another part of France and then it will be moved to Germany during mid day."
Remus and Emily nodded in understanding.
"Now as you both know, Greyback will be there along with followers and possibly the dark lord. Your mission is to collect any useful information that they say, and tell when you return. The order has suspicion to believe that Greyback is just in the midst of war with fellow wolf packs but working with the dark lord on other purposes. I would like you to find out those purposes if possible. Do you understand your mission?"
Emily looked up. "How are we getting to Germany from France, sir?" She asked.
"By taking this with you," Dumbledore said pulling out a black shiny pen. He handed it to Emily.
"A Pen sir?" Remus asked confused.
"It is a port key, I know a bit small, but if you hold hands and then click the pen it will transport you to the exact meeting place. Do you have any further questions?"
"No," They both said.
"Good, now follow me." Dumbledore got up and led them to his side room. He opened the door and walked In. Dumbledore walked to the door that was in the room and opened it.
Outside was a cold bare street with lanterns lit. Dumbledore stepped outside. Remus and Emily followed not sure of where they were.
"Alright, you both are standing on Preston Street, Paris, France. Now you got about four blacks up that way (Pointing to the left up the street) you will find Le Tigre Rouge, a club where the meeting is being held. I leave it to you. If anything goes wrong click this button on the watch. (He hands Remus a watch) it will aperate you back to Hogwarts, to my office. Good night." Dumbledore walked back into the room and was gone. Remus turned to Emily.
"Ready?" She asked nervously
"Yeah, are you?"
"I think so."
Remus took her hand and started walked up the street. It took them fifteen minutes to reach the "Red Tiger" club.
Remus opened the door and Emily followed behind inside. They looked around and didn't see anyone. Remus led Emily to a table and they sat down waiting for anyone suspicious looking to appear.
-Hogwarts-
"Good morning lily," a bright eyed James Potter said to his very lovely looking girl friend that came down the stairs fully dressed for school.
"Hello, how are you?" she asked kissing his gently on the cheek.
"Good and you?"
"I'm good."
"Well we should head to breakfast before it gets late." He said. Lily agreed and they headed to the great hall.
The group still wasn't on speaking terms with peter and they didn't bother, James felt a bit guilty of not trying to patch things up, but then again he didn't see peter trying to do anything to help the situation, so he let it go.
"Hey guys have you seen moony or Emily?" Sirius asked as Lily and James sat down.
James and lily looked to each other and shook their heads.
"That's odd, I woke up this morning and Emily wasn't in bed, then Sirius said Remus wasn't in bed either. I checked her other room as did Sirius with the tree, but they weren't there." Alicia said.
"That is weird." James said.
"When are they supposed to leave for France?" Sirius asked.
"Oh duh, that's where they are, they left this morning I remember now that Emily said she would be leaving early today." Lily said just as the memory popped in her mind.
The others sighed with relief. They ate breakfast and headed to their first class.
-France-
Two booths back a group of men sat together talking quietly, Remus and Emily being Werewolves were able to hear every word they were saying even thought they were a ways down from their table.
"How many more do we need?" one of the men asked.
"As many as we can, including Rub breeds, you know how I want them back." The other man said. He was the "leader" of the group, Greyback.
"But sir what about the book, you said that we would have it by now, you said that it would make it easier to round up the Rub Breeds and make us a stronger force."
"I know that, He says he has been lagging behind on getting the book apparently he is in the process of obtaining it, but I think he is fooling us, that's why we need to start plan B."
"What's Plan B sir?" Greyback turned to his followers.
"I'm not quite sure yet, but I will have a plan. Perhaps threatening him with something could quicken the process."
"Like what?"
"What did you say that boy's name was who he's looking for?" he asked quickly thinking of an idea.
"Potter, James Potter. Why?"
"Perhaps we can get Potter before him and dare I say it but I think he would be very jealous and angry that we got him before he did and why not we have a way of getting him, right?"
"What way is that?" They all asked confused. Grey back rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"We have two fellow werewolves at his school. Lupin and Templeton, so when the hunters get them they can retrieve Potter as well and we can you Potter as a way to get the book of Vlasco from Voldemort. You know very well that he would want to kill Potter than have the book, so why not use him for it?"
The followers smiled with agreement and understanding.
"But sir, why do we need Lupin and Templeton, I thought you said you didn't need them anymore?" One of them said speaking over the group.
Greyback looked up.
"Because how else are we going to get Potter, plus if he doesn't want to cooperate we can use one of them to make him cooperate." He said evilly.
Emily's eyes widened as she heard this. Remus looked up suddenly the group of men behind them got up and stormed out of the place.
Remus and Emily moved their heads so that they couldn't be seen. Once they were sure they had left Remus took out the pen and they apperated to Germany.
-Hogwarts-
"So when are they coming back?" James asked loudly. They all were sitting around the common room doing homework. Lily got up from the seat and walked over to the book shelf. She grabbed her Business text book and flipped through it.
"I don't know," She said as she walked back to her seat.
"What are you working on Lily?" Alicia asked
"Business paper, it's due tomorrow before the holiday starts and I'm almost done, I'm just checking something." Lily said. She had found the page and nodded cheerfully that her facts were right.
"Man I can't wait till Friday!" Sirius exclaimed
"Yeah me too I can't wait till Christmas." Alicia said.
"But Lily, don't forget about our plans with Emily." Alicia reminded lily. Lily nodded in response as she walked up to put the book back.
"What plans are those?" Sirius asked.
"Oh nothing just girl stuff," she said.
"Alicia I think its okay if you tell them, I mean I doubt they would tell anyone." Lily said coming over to James and sitting next to him.
"Yeah, you can tell us." James said pulling lily into a hug.
"Okay well you both have to promise us that you will not tell anyone, no one!"
"Okay" they both said.
"Okay, well we started this a long time ago, because we wanted to be one and now that we know Emily's secret, which I still can't believe she didn't tell us about, which would make things a bit easier for her is this holiday we are going to test our long hard work of becoming animagi." Alicia said.
James and Sirius froze and looked at each other.
"Look I know there is a major chance we could go to Azkaban but we did it's not just for Emily but for other reasons, such as a way to help each other." Lily quickly said stating her point of view of becoming animagus.
There was a long pause.
"Are you angry?'" Alicia asked
"What no, of course not, it's just that uh, well . . ."
"We're animagus." James said.
"What?" Lily asked surprised.
"Yeah we became it in our fifth year because of Moony, that's why we have nick names." Sirius explained.
"Really we have nicknames, well sort of." Lily said.
"What are they?" James asked.
"Well mine is Tiger-lily, Alicia's is Tabby she's a cat, and Emily is also becoming animagi is going to become a Bird so her name is Luna, I know it doesn't go with bird but it means moon in Spanish, don't ask, it's just a name." Lily explained.
"Well I'm Padfoot because I'm a dog; James is a Stag so his is Prongs and Peter . . . is Wormtail because he's a rat." Sirius said.
"Have you talked to him yet?" Lily asked.
"No, why should we?" Sirius asked
"Because he's your friend,"
"Not anymore, he was our friend; hence the strength on the word was when I say said it." Sirius corrected.
"Just because he made a stupid mistake, you're not going to talk to him anymore? What if they made him do it out of his own will?" Alicia asked angrily.
"He already betrayed us that morning in the great hall. We never said anything that would make him got to the Slytherins." Sirius said
"Well, true he made a stupid mistake to do that but he is still your friend talk to him." Lily said looking to James, for he hadn't said anything yet.
"Fine we'll talk to him, tomorrow though I want to wait for Remus to come." He said.
-Germany-
Remus and Emily entered the place where the meeting was starting. They sat down a ways a way from the group where they could see Voldemort sitting with them with his followers.
"I'm glad you could come. Fenrir." Voldemort said shaking his hand and gesturing him to sit.
"Thank you; have got the book yet like we agreed?"
Voldemort looked up.
"I'm afraid there has been a delay, an associate of mine is behind on a couple of things . . . "
"What associate and what things would those be?" Greyback asked.
"He has gone on a leave of absence for another order of mine and the book is in detailing right now."
"Who is this person, your associate you are talking of and what detailing is the book having?"
"That is none of your concern who my associate it is. The book is going through clearance; it is a highly dangerous book that can be caught through muggle territories. I promise you I will have the book with in days, besides our deal was for you to borrow it for the attack, not own it, for I have complete ownership of it."
"Yes the attack the attack can not be completed over the holiday if I don't have it with in the next week. But of course I can always help the process along in a certain way."
"And what way would that be Fenrir?"
"I understand you are looking for Potter, right?"
"I am,"
"Well here's the deal, if you don't get me the book by Thursday and today is Sunday, I will kill Potter, and don't think I won't."
"That's not part of the deal, you know why I need him, I'll get you the book, just don't kill Potter, he's mine."
"Well get me the book on time and maybe I'll reconsider." Greyback said and got up.
"Allons," (Let us go) He said to his followers. They left the café with Voldemort staring after them. Voldemort turned to his followers.
"Get my Cell phone now." He said.
He took the phone and dialed several numbers.
-Hogwarts-
Lily and the group got back from their last class of the day and sat in the common room lily set her bag down and took out her books. Just then her phone rang. The others froze and looked to lily.
Lily grabbed her phone and saw it was Voldemort.
"Hello," She said calmly.
"Snave, meet me at the Cyprus in one hour come alone." He said and hung up abruptly.
Lily set the phone down and looked up.
-Germany-
"Let's go," Voldemort said
"Where to My Lord?" one of his followers asked
"The Cyprus,"
They left and Remus looked to Emily.
"So they made a deal with each other on that book lily is getting for him." Emily said.
"Yeah and Greyback is going to get James if he doesn't follow through,"
"Yeah and Voldemort is planning to use him for something, But what?"
"I don't know, but we should get back to Dumbledore and before lily leaves."
"Right," Emily agreed. She took Remus's hand and he pressed the button on the watch. Minutes later they were back in Dumbledore's office.
"Mr. Lupin, Ms. Templeton. Good to see you, what have you found?" Dumbledore asked coming down the stairs from his sleeping quarters.
"Sir we need to talk to Lily, she's meeting Voldemort in one hour, but we've found some information concerning the book; that she needs to know about." Remus said.
"Certainly, Professor Field please go to the painting of Elizabeth of Mark in the heads room please get Ms. Evans, Ms. Kingston, Mr. Black and Mr. Potter in here immediately." He said turning to the far wall where a painting hung of the late professor.
The man in the picture vanished then re appeared.
"They're on their way sir." He informed.
They waited and minutes later they all entered.
"Yes thank you for coming so quickly." Dumbledore said.
"I have been informed that you are n your way to see him now?" He asked Lily. She nodded.
"Well Mr. Lupin and Ms. Templeton have some information for you all. Please go on." He said.
"Okay well in France Emily and me over heard Greyback talking of his dealings with Voldemort . . ."
"Dealings?" Lily asked surprised.
"Yes dealings. Apparently Voldemort has promised his usage of the book of Vlasco which he is planning to use in an attack. But apparently Voldemort has been lacking in his end of the bargain. Grey back has threatened Voldemort though so we think he is calling you because he needs the book very soon." Emily said.
"What is he threatening him with?" Dumbledore asked.
Emily looked to Remus nervously.
"He's using James," Remus said.
"But from what Voldemort said he needs James for something and won't dare let Greyback kill him, so he most likely needs the book in order to keep James alive."
"Great." James said rolling his eyes.
PLEASE REVIEW. It would make my day!
