Chapter 9

Remus Lupin could not help thinking for what seemed the hundredth time how could this of happen. His best friends dead and the traitor in prison, well that what he thought. Then a trial happens and it turns out the Sirius did not betray them all, it was Peter! And worst he just believed it to be Sirius, he didn't even think about how he could be wrong. But he remembered Dumbledor telling him that Black and been the one and that was all it took for Remus to believe. He looked once more at the letter, it had been short and simple. Telling him to go to the Leaky Cauldron for a meeting with Sirius. He wasn't sure what was going to happen, Remus also looked to the letter that he had gotten from Dumbledor about how Sirius had gotten custody of Harry Potter and how that made Harry vulnerable as the protections that had been placed on his aunt's home had been the best possible.

He looked at the door of the room he was to meet Sirius in before opening it and stepping inside. He was not ready to see 2 people sitting there waiting for him on was Sirius Black, looking much better then in to photo of him at the trial. The other was a young woman with blue and brown eyes and hair that was different shades of darkening blue from white. Both had looked at him neutrally, their eyes taking in everything about him before he sat down.

"Well, Moony I didn't think you would actually show up, I mean from what I have heard all it took was Dumbledor telling you once that I was guilty and you wrote me off as a traitor!" Sirius looked him in the eyes but he could hear the anger in his voice.

"Sirius, I don't know who told you that but that's not true, I just didn't know what to think!" Remus looked from one to the other. He did not know this woman and was trying to think if he had seen her before, but also deep down the wolf inside him was telling him that this was an alpha of alphas and that if angered her it would be over before he had a chance.

"Actually, that is the truth, I know as I saw it. And no, we have never meet before, you can say that Lilly asked me to watch over Harry and as the old fool Dumbledor had done a few things he should not have it is only now that I can act on what Lilly asked." Aroura looked the wolf in the eye and made him look away first she could feel his inner conflict. After making sure that the temporary wards where in place she looked on as the 2 talked.

Remus looked angered for a moment when she had called Dumbledor an old fool but did not act on it. "I don't know what is going on, all I know is what I was told, I trust Dumbledor as he is a good man, he must have been told that Sirius was the one who betrayed James and Lilly, who I don't know!"

"Well, I see that Aroura was right, you will listen to the old man and he can do no wrong in your eyes!" Sirius was angary but also sad that one he trusted above all could be so blind.

"Remus, it was Dumbledor who cast the charm, he knew who the secret keeper was, he also was the witness for James and Lilly will, he knew Harry was never to go to his aunt and that there were others who could have taken him in, he also has been placing Harry in danger from the start of the school so far!" Sirius raised his hands then handed Remus several different pages of information from the Potter will to Harry's medical exam that Aroura had done what she first started to help Harry get healthy.

"You can see that he lied to you, me and everyone, Harry has not been safe, he was treated little better than a slave by his aunt and her husband, they and Dumbledore have been stealing from Harry! You can't say that we are wrong with all of that in front of you!" Sirius had been furious when Aroura had shown him everything. He still could not understand what the old man had been doing or why.

Aroura had been watching the wolf and also keeping an eye on her wards, she felt when the old fool had come into the Cauldron, she sent out her first distraction at him, a simple thing to make him need to use the loo whenever he tried out go up the stairs, the next would be an urge to go to the sweet shop forgetting what he was at the Cauldron for.

"Listen, I know you think he did a lot of things for you but you need to stop and think, yes, he let you into Hogwarts, how many other werewolf's have been allowed to attend the school? Next was it Dumbledor who helped you on the wolf nights? Or was it James and Sirius who learned a difficult brand of magic to help you on those nights, was it Dumbledor who helped you after you graduated or was it James who helped you get your first job and offer for you to live with him till you could get a place of your own? Was it Dumbledor who made your potions for you, or was it Lilly who made the potions for you and asked if they were working right or if they needed to be better?" Aroura watched him closely as each question made Remus hunch down in his seat further. She could only shake her head as he tried to say something.

"Remus, we have proof that Dumbledor has been doing things wrong, we have the goblins looking into everything and they have found a lot, Aroura has been watching over Harry unable to act till recently. Now I want to get my old friend back but I have to make sure that you don't try something to hurt Harry and telling me to take him back to his aunt will most certainly do that, I also do not plan to give up custody of Harry just because the old man says so, he has no say in Harry life, he is only the headmaster of the school Harry attends." Sirius looked his friend over and could see that this was a lot of the wolf to take in.

"I don't know what to think! This all looks real but I don't really want to believe that he would go this far and hurt Harry!" Remus ran a hand though his hair. "What do you want me to do?" he knew they would not just leave it like this.

"We want you to make an oath that you will not go to Dumbledor and tell him what we have said, we also want you to not have any contact with the old man for a month that means that you cannot accept any food or potions from him and have to get rid of any you may have already, we will give you the potions you might need, but you can't have anything to do with the old man!"

Remus looked shock and at first did not know what to say, but then he thought of losing Sirius and Harry forever and knew that he had to do this for them and himself as it seemed that Dumbledor had not been telling him the truth.
"k I will do this for you!"

The oath was made then the 3 chatted about different things, Harry was brought up but not much was mentioned except that was doing so much better now and that he had friends over on a regular basis.

Aroura looked to her wards and smiled slightly at what the old man had been subjected to this time as he tried again, he now had the urge to go over to some of the little old ladies and hags that where sitting in the tavern and hitting on them badly, he found he could not stop and after getting another drink pored over his head left to go change clothing, it was then that the 3's meeting broke up and Aroura gave Remus a wizard travel trunk that had a full loft like set up in it, with a floo activated and full pantry.

"This is not charity; this is to make sure that the old man does not find you until the month is up!" she handed him a folded letter. "I want you to go to the one of the places listed here, they all have a spot that you can set up at and all are in areas that don't get a lot of people around, there are wards in each place so that you won't be found and will be protected!" she then gave him a band to wear around his wrist. "This is a portkey, that will take you to a safe place on the full moon, you will find another trunk there that you can use to rest in before the portkey brings you back to your trunk." she then gave him a look before stepping back.

"Remus, I hope we can pick up our friendship where we left off and wish you a good day!" he then shook Remus's hand before leaving with Aroura. Remus stood there for a few minutes before leaving and reading the letter, he picked one of the places that was listed and apparated to a nearby locating before having a look around, he found that the address listed was an out of the way bit of tunnel that was part of the underground rail system and that it was warm and dry, he then set up the trunk before stepping inside, and like she had told him it was a loft like home with kitchen dining and living room all in one and two doors off of it one lead to a bedroom and the other a bathroom, he sat down and looked over the paperwork that they had left him trying to figure out what was going on.

"I don't like that we didn't tell him about the potions that you found, he might have listened to us if you had!" Sirius was sad and angry at the same time.

"I checked him when you asked me to look for him, the potions in his system where not normal but based in alchemy, the wards I put into that trunk will slowly remove the stuff form his system but it is going to take time and I don't want to find out what might happen if we had told him about that, there might have been some kind of commanded they're if that had happened!" Aroura sat down in the study and relaxed as she thought over what she had found, not only had she made wards that would remove any potion not for medical use from his system but she had added wards to make sure nothing new was introduced and, the band had the same wards on it as well as being a portkey.

"We can only wait to see if this will work and hope that he will understand why we did this!" she looked to Sirius knowing that he wanted his friend back but also knowing that the old man had his hooks into the wolf.

The 2 sat in silence both wanting the plan to work and knowing that if it does not then the friendship of the Marauders might be over.

The trio had finally found a way to get the twins over, Luna had asked her father if he could ask Aruther if the boys could come and help him with a project, Aruther had no problem with this and sent the boys over the next day, Luna then led them to where she had the trunk set up and sent them through before her. Harry and Nevile could not help but laugh at the look on the twins faces when they saw where they were. The boys in question kept pinching them self's and each other before looking around again.

"What is this wonderful place?" they asked together.

"Welcome to Potter Island!" Harry smiled at the two before leading them over to an outside table set up with food and drink. He then told them everything that had happened so far and what he planned to do as well as asking them if they wanted to join the party. The twins couldn't say yes fast enough, after the invite was accepted the two got used to the stats page and inventory as well as asking questions it was then planned that the trio would take them to the rat dungeon to get them started, before entering Harry gave them each a bat and some leather armor to wear. After doing a dungeon run, they hit the study where the trio took time to make copied=s of the books for the twins to use, Harry then went over the schedule they had set up and planned to use the time turner for the twins so that their mother does not find out.

Aroura had given the twins a travel trunk and housing trunk so that they could use the floo and time turner easier. She had also warded a spot for them to set up, it had been a place that they used a lot I the orchard, their mother had no idea of it and they went there to plot and plan without trouble.

HPGWHPGWHGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW

It only took a week for the twins to catch up to the other stats wise, they were a level higher than the trio, Harry also noticed that the twin's stats where also most the same, Fred was higher in charms and transfiguration, while George was higher in potions and DADA.

As they kept working on things, the twins where doing the rat dungeon run with just the two of them and sometimes one of the others, when it came to the forest dungeon they went as a group. With the larger group size, they didn't get as much xp but the twins had better gear to use.

They had been exploring the ally once more, avoiding the book shop because of the event for Lockhart. It was while they were in a section of ally that the twins had shown then them that they had found a new dungeon.

Diagon Ally SLIME SMASH!

Enter the dungeon and clear out the slimes. Beware that there is a trick to this and you will have to figure it out yourself.

Rewards

15 xp per slime killed

Skill scrolls acid arrow

Chance to tame slime

Enter the dungeon

Yes/No

They all looked to each other.

"This looks interesting, we could get some new stuff and the skill scroll is a nice addition!" Harry looked to the dungeon again.

"Dad knows we are out with Luna today after already getting our school supplies, so we won't be missed!" Fred looked happy at the idea of a new dungeon to explore.

"OK so we are doing this!" Neville was smiling as he looked over his gear. He had organized his inventory with many different tabs and had pulled up his dungeon tab. The other had done the same with their inventory. After make sure they were ready Harry hit yes and they started.

The new dungeon was similar to the rat one with long tunnels that open into chambers that have multiple tunnels leading off of them. They had some trouble with the first few slimes they ran into, but had quickly figured out that if they hit the slim in the core directly with one of the fire or ice arrows that the slime went down fast. This proved to be a good way to improve their aim and spell work. The slimes themselves where of a green-to-green/brown in color and shot out streams of slime that could stick someone in place. There was also a strong smell to it.

"We should take a rest here before heading down the next lot of tunnels!" Harry was looking around the chamber they were in trying to see if there any hidden areas. The others nodded before also looking around and checking to make sure there was nothing wrong with either their gear or themselves.

Harry had been looking over one of the walls before he found a hidden cache of gold and gems. The twins had been looking over the slime puddles to see if there was anything they could collect as they had plans to see if any could be used for their joke products.

Luna pulled out some sandwiches for everyone to eat and smiled at the twins as they pulled out more viles for their slime samples. She knew they would find out all kinds of thing once they got their lab fully set up and running.

The trio had tried the beast speech on the slimes but had found that they could not respond back. They had also tried to see if the twins could find the quest to get beast speech but it seemed that it had been a one-time thing. Not that the twins minded as they had their own communication ways.

They party had rested for about half an hour before starting down the tunnels once more and tacking down slimes as fast as they could. As they worked together, the loot that was being found increased as each had a different way to look at things and many hidden caches were found in the walls and floor of the dungeon.

It had taken a few hours to clear out the tunnels before they got the boss room and all had agreed to rest before they stepped in.

"Ok so we have a basic plan for when we go in them!" Harry looked over each of the party. "We break of left and right trying to draw attention of any slimes in to the room before hitting them hard and fast." he pulled his wand out and got ready, the others doing the same.

"Ice arrows seemed to work best as it can cause them to freeze!" Luna was smiling as she got ready the spell on the tip of her tongue.

"Ok, let's do this!" the twins spoke at the same time and Neville just laughed at them and got ready himself.

The door opened at Harry push and the ran in, following the plan. It was fast and chaotic going but they had each taken down a few more of the smaller slimes before the boss slime appaired. It had been 3 times bigger than the others and they had been about the size of medium dogs. It soon became clear that they would have to hit it at the same time a one shot to the core was not enough. They had to run around a bit before they were all in a good position before launching their arrows and managed to bring down the boss. They had all cheered before looking around a spotting the treasure chest.

Nevile had been closer so had opened it and found the scrolls one for each of them as well a large amount of gold that had been split. They had been 25 gems that they also split up. Harry had seen that he had leveled up and smiled he had figured that they each had taken down about 25 slimes. So that had been a good amount on xp. From the chest also came a scroll of slime taming, Neville had tried to make a copie but found that he could not there was also an egg in the chest that had been next to the taming scroll.

"Well, it looks like one of us can tame a slime but I don't know who!" Nev handed the egg a scroll to Harry.

"We can ask Aroura about this later. For now, let's get done and check for any hidden items or area s before we leave." Harry had pit both egg and scroll in his inventory before starting to look around the room.

It didn't take long before Luna made a discovery, in a cache behind a broken pillar she found a box that had five rings in it. Using observer, she found something worthwhile.

Rings of Power

Each ring gives a +25 to both HP and MP

Was once the property of Merlinus before he hid after becoming too powerful to need them.

Each ring has a different color stone.

1 ruby ring

1 diamond ring

1 emerald rind

1 amethyst ring

1 sapphire ring

Also has notice me mot spell on them to keep from being stolen.

"You all have to see this!" Luna had picked up the box and was holding it out for them all to see! "We would each be able to wear one and it would help!" Luna was happy and planned to wear the amethyst ring if no-one else wanted too.

Harry looked at the rings and did a double take at the information he got. "Wow you are right we each only need to wear one and be in a good place if one of wore all five I think that might cause trouble but it is something we can look into later if one of us need a major power boost." he them waved to Luna to take her pick of a ring. Neville had picked the emerald ring while Fred picked the sapphire and George picked the diamond ring. They each placed their ring on. After that they looked around more to see if there might be something else hidden but other them some more gold and other gems not much.

After they finished looking around, they went to the exit portal that had appaired and left. Once in the ally again they went over to where Aroura had placed one of the Portale arches and stepped through after making sure that no one was around and saw them.

HPGWHPGWHGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW

Aroura looked up as the group joined her in the study. Harry had pulled the scroll and egg out and placed it down on the table before he took of his ring and showed it to her.

"Wow you guys had a lucky break finding these rings. I thought they had been lost forever!" she handed the ring back to Harry and smiled as he put it back on.

"We found a new dungeon in the ally in an area that the twins knew about." Neville looked at his own ring before looking to the egg and scroll. "We also found the scroll and egg in the dungeon but I can't seem to copie it!"

Aroura looked over both egg and scroll. "Well, the scroll is an only once and can't be copied but that does not mean you won't find more like it later. As for the egg it is a slime egg, I have seen one like this for a long time. It used to be that slime familiars where very common for a while as they had been something new but they didn't have a lot of uses and many found that slimes to be..." she shrugged before placing the egg back down.

"Well now we have to decide who will get to tame the slime! I'm all for letting the twins have it as they are planning to see if the slime goo, they collected will help with their joke shop!" Harry had smiled at the 2 as they looked at him with joy.

"yes" Fred

"we" George

"will" Fred

"be" George

"happy" Fred

"to" George

"tame the smile! Or one of us anyway!" they had each passed the conversation back and forth as they like to do.

"Alright you too but please stop with the back and forth, I know you like to confuse people with it but not here please!" Aroura could not help but laugh at Harry as he said that he like the other two had been looking back and forth like they were watching a tennis match as the two had spook.

"Well, that is settled so which twin get the scroll?" Luna was looking over the egg and wonder what other magical creatures might have one.

The twin then began a cut throat game if rock, paper, scissors. That lasted for about 15 minutes before George emerged victorious. He then picked up the scroll and activated it. After the scroll disappeared, he then picked up the egg and following what the scroll had instructed him to do channeled some of his magic into the egg. It them glowed for a few moments before hatching. Thei is George's hand was a clear slim.

"The fact that it is clear in color is that slimes will take on the color of what they eat, their sticky solution can also take on this color and smell as well depending on what they eat." Aroura had looked the small slime over before looking to the twins.

"All I saw down there that they may have been eating was moss and slime in the walls so that would explain the color of the ones we cleared out." Luna also looked over the slime and smiled at the twins. "Congratulations it's a slime!" everyone laughed at that and smiled as the twins set the slime on the table before feeding it some of the fruit that Aroura had been snaking on.

After that the 5 of them went to work on their new spell and work out before heading off home for the night.

When Harry and Neville birthdays came the boys found that being Gamers, they got a surprise. Both had a message that let them pick either a skill or item Harry had picked the item which turned out to be a ring.

Ring of Speed

Gives +5 to DEX+CON

A simple ring, made from gold with no gems this ring will help the wearer be faster and harder.

While Neville had picked the Skill. He had gotten Axe welding with a boost so that Neville could now use axes as his weapon instead of a sword. When Harry found that out, he began to plan out a few axes to give to Neville later. Harry had found that the smithing skill was a lot of fun and planned to combined his smith work with his rune work once he had gotten better with both. So far Harry was making daggers and knifes as well as some tools for the garden. He was really proud of the fact that he was able to get runes etched into his daggers that mad sharpening something that was not needed as often.

The other had also been busy with their own work, and they all had a blast getting to know Atles, they had gotten the peruses health back up and he was now able to take them for flights over the open water. Aroura had to make the island go closer to the water so that if they fell it would not be too hard to get back on or that they would get hurt. She had added a ladder and platform to one side closest to where they had put Atles.

Sirius had also made improvements to the cottage once all of the work had been finished. There was now a garage in which his motorcycle was now sitting, Aroura had gone to collect it from Hagrid's not that long ago. Their where also bicycles one for each of the party. The kids had a blast learning how to rid the bikes and racing each other down the lane to a park that had been nearby. The area near the cottage had a small town. The kids and Aroura would make stops in it to pick up some food and look around. The kids also found other small quest to do. Many of them help increase their skills while other gave them money to use.

As it was getting closer to September 1 the kids really got to work on the skills that would be needed for school especially potions as they did not want to fail that class and show that they know what they're where doing.

HPGWHPGWHGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW

Dumbledor had not been having a good summer, first Black had gotten out of prison, them Lupin had disappeared and any letter sent had been going to Gringotts for some reason. Then Snape had taken a job somewhere else and he could not find him. Even worse the goblins had been the one to hand in the man resignation and he could not find where Snape's new job was.

Before he could go to the board, they had been informed of Snapes resignation and had demanded he get a new teacher for Potions. The only person he could find was Andromeda Tonks, she was a potions master that had also been a healer and was the only one to apply for the post. The board had approved of her taking the job when McGonagle had informed them of her application and he did not like it as she was not one that he had under his sway.

There was also a lot of flake from hiring Gilderoy Lockhart. Yes, he wort those books but some of the former Ravenclaws had not been impressed with what they found and did not think he was going to be a good teacher.

"I don't know what is going on Fawkes, everything has been going downhill lately and I don't know why" the old man didn't really look to the phoenix, if he had he would have seen that the bird appeared to be laughing at him.

Fawkes knew what was going no and he could not wait to see what would happen when Aroura finally got around to dealing with the old man. As his once trusted human started to not listen to him Fawkes had become sadden at what the old man plotted and planned, he had lost his way and now no longer was light but dark.

HPGWHPGWHGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW

Another who was not having a good time was Snape. He was now working his dream job and was working with other potion masters but none of them liked him, he was to abrasive they had told him and his teaching methods had been sorely lacking. None of the other potion masters had been happy with the man but they worked with him non the less as they knew he was brilliant with potions and could help them a lot, but that didn't mean they were going to sit back and let him do to them what he had dome to his former students, many of which had to go to one of them to teach them potions over the summers. Snap didn't even think to quit as he found that if he did the band that helped him hid would be taken away and his employment contract was air tight in the employer's favor. He regretted not reading it more before sighing but it had been too good of an offer to pass up.

However, it was humiliating to find that many of the potion masters had many more accomplishments them, which included having many students pass their test and become master themselves, it was one of the most recognized signs of a true Potions Master to have so many students.

Snape sighed as he worked on the potions in front of him, he had known that he would not be able to teach, that was why he had never wanted the job the Hogwarts in the first place, but both the men he has called master had demanded it, now he was free but did not dare to make waves as he found a job he truly loved.

HPGWHPGWHGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW

Remus had no idea what was going on but as the month went by, he noticed that his devotion to Dumbledor was fading. He could not help but notice that some of the old man's decisions had hurt himself and others. He also notices that after a few days his sense of taste had begun to work more it seemed. Remus had once found that he could taste when something was even slightly off, a trait that had helped him and the others many times during school. He now realized that something more was going on that the Dumbledore was at the center of it.

Remus would wait and see if what he was suspecting was true, he owed both Harry and Sirius apologies for failing them and he own the old man a punch to the nose for dosing him with potions.
