Chapter 7

Why am I still stuck as a puppy? Sirius internally screamed. It was past midnight and he was curled up on Harry's bedroom floor, glaring into the darkness. It had been hours since Runa had left and her spell was still in effect. Wasn't this supposed to wear off?

Sirius stretched and made his way to Harry's crib, he placed his front paws on the bottom rail but when he looked in Harry wasn't there. Immediately he started to panic, looking left and right.

"He's right here Black." Sirius sagged when he heard that voice, he turned in its direction and saw Runa sitting in the rocking chair with a sleeping Harry against her chest. The moonlight from the large windows brushed shadows on her features but even he could see the tightness in her face.

He was still studying her when he felt a tingle go through his whole body. When he looked down it was to see his paws growing and the floor getting farther from his face. Finally once the feeling stopped he immediately changed back into his human form.

"Finally," he breathed, before turning his glare on her. "How long is that bloody spell supposed to last?" he whispered harshly.

She just raised her brow at him in the same way as she had done before, unnerving him a bit. However he held his glare, he was still supremely annoyed that she had gotten the upper hand. Finally he watched as a smile crept across her lips and she let out a soft chuckle.

"Until I release it."

"But you said-"

"I know what I said, I lied."

"Why you no good-"

"Watch it Black." Sirius quickly shut his mouth not wanting to relive the past several hours.

"What are you doing back here?" he whispered.

"I couldn't sleep and I was worried."

"You said the protections within the manors is better than what Dumbledore suggested so why are you worried?"

"You do know that Lily told me about a traitor within the Order, right?"

"I'm not surprised." Sirius looked at her contemplatively. "Do you have an idea of who it is?"

"Unfortunately, no I don't. All I know is it's not you, Remus, the Longbottoms, or Lily and James."

"I could have told you that."

"Could you?" Sirius flinched at the accusatory tone, knowing she was right. He had suspected Remus but if she was to be believed then Remus wasn't the traitor, but he had no idea who it could be.

"Why did you suspect Remus?" Her question caught Sirius off guard but he thought seriously about her question.

"He's been so withdrawn lately, and I know how people with-" Sirius stopped himself not wanting to betray his friend's secret.

"I know about his furry little problem, and no Lily was not the one to tell me."

"So you know how people with his condition are treated?"

"Of course, and I think it's utterly moronic. Just because they become a beast one night a month doesn't mean they are dangerous at all times, except a select few, like Greyback." She spat the last part like it was a curse. "It's not like it was their choice."

"Anyway," Sirius continued. "I know how people with his condition are treated and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised to find him bitter about the way he's being treated like a pariah."

"You know I've been hearing things," Runa started catching Sirius' attention. "About a werewolf that no one ever would have believed amongst Greyback's pack."

"Remus?" Sirius breathed, not wanting to believe her words, she had just said he wasn't the traitor but this information belied that.

"Most likely, they talk about him having graduated from Hogwarts and as far as I know he's the only one to fit that description. But I highly doubt he's doing this of his own volition."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh come on, he has an in with a group that seems to be supporting the dark idiot, and it's a way in that nobody else has." Sirius could hear the sarcasm but he didn't know why it was there.

"What's the sarcasm for?"

"Those are probably along the same lines Dumbledore most likely gave him when he asked him to infiltrate Greyback's pack. Am I right?" Sirius turned around and spotted Remus standing in the doorway looking at Runa in trepidation.

"How did you know?"

"In concept it makes sense, but in reality, it's doomed to fail."

"How do you know that? I could make some head way-"

"Do you really think those people would ever side with you? Ever let you in?" She interrupted him. "You who probably many of them envy, who was able to go to Hogwarts, who if he kept his head down could have a semblance of a normal life, who has true friends? I'll tell you right now, there is no way in blue bleeding hell they would ever trust you. To them, you're not one of them."

Harry whimpered in his sleep feeling the tension in the room, especially from the person who held him. Immediately Runa took a deep breath calming herself and rocked Harry back to a comfortable slumber. Once Harry was back asleep Runa stood and placed Harry back in his crib. She motioned the men out of the nursery before making her way back to sitting room they had used earlier.

"You can't know that," Remus argued.

"Oh and Dumbledore knows you can get through to them? Hm?"

"He believes in me-"

"This isn't about your abilities, Remus. This is about how those people think, how they get along in the world, and to them you couldn't understand what they've gone through."

"But I'm also-"

"You're not listening," Runa interrupted annoyed. "Are you a werewolf like them? Yes, but you were able to go to Hogwarts something that others, older and younger than you, never got a chance to do. And you were changed when you were a child, the ones that were changed as adults wouldn't commiserate with you because in their minds you never had another life, however they did and it was destroyed."

Remus opened his mouth to argue but he couldn't, her points held merit. But if what she says is true then what have I been doing for all these months? Remus thought.

"So that's what you've been doing?" Sirius asked. "Trying to infiltrate Greyback's pack? Have you gone barmy?" Remus just turned and glared exasperatedly at Sirius. Sirius ignored his glare and turned back to Runa.

"How did you find out about this? And don't do that smile thing."

"I have connections everywhere… not to mention one of the older members, one of the few not changed by Greyback works for my family. She's worked for us for years."

"Huh?" both men questioned.

"Helligdom does stand for sanctuary." The three people turned to looked at Lily who was followed by James.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"We have several children that were infected and then abandoned or kidnapped, that we take care of."

"What?" Remus was gobsmacked.

"This has been going on for generations."

"And no one has ever been infected by any of them?"

"Nope." Both Lily and Runa answered.

"How?"

"I'm not at liberty to divulge that information, sorry." And she truly did look sorry.

"Do you have a cure?"

"I wish, we've been working on one for generations but haven't had much success. Lily and I think if we can figure out how lycanthropy came to be in the first place we might be able to reverse it."

"Do you have any leads?" James asked, he knew his wife had been working on finding a cure for their friend.

"I think so. Legend says that the first case of lycanthropy is from Ancient Greece or Rome with Romulus and Remus-"

"Which do you think it is?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know but it could be even older."

"What?"

"The Epic of Gilgamesh talks about a woman who turned her lover into a wolf-"

"You think that was the first werewolf?"

"No, that story is muggle however the Statue didn't exist yet, so I think there's some connection, if anything perhaps her spell was the jumping off point for somebody else or he was an animagus. I have some connections going through some old magical sites around the Tigris. However just in case it is from Ancient Greece I have some connections keeping their ears open, but we digress."

"Why are you two up?" Lily asked pointedly looking at the men. "And when did you get back?"

"I couldn't sleep then I heard their voices in the nursery." Remus explained.

"She finally released that wretched spell." Sirius said accusingly.

"I couldn't sleep and I had an unsettled feeling that something is going to happen."

"Over-protective," Lily said with a smile and eye roll, Runa just shrugged her shoulders not refuting Lily's claim. "Why were you talking about the pack?"

"Remus here," Sirius started jabbing his thumb in Remus' direction. "Has been on a mission for Dumbledore to infiltrate Greyback's pack."

"Are you mad? Remus that's a suicide mission," Lily said approaching Remus making him look her in the eye. "Why?"

"Dumbledore said-" He was interrupted by a snort from Runa, making everyone look towards her.

"You don't trust Dumbledore do you?" Sirius inquired.

"Not to put individuals before 'the greater good'." She rolled her eyes at Dumbledore's moniker.

"We've had this argument before, you're not going to win," Lily said before James or Remus got their dander up. Sirius was just looking at her still trying to decipher her.

"Why don't you trust him?" he inquired, truly curious.

"Before I answer that there's one thing I want to make clear, do I think Dumbledore is a light wizard? The answer is yes, undoubtably but he is also a leader of one side of a war. Was he able to get away with disarming Grindelwald? Yes, but that doesn't mean that this war is the same and to be honest it's worse."

"How so?"

"Grindelwald, well, as horrible as it sounds, saw all witches and wizards, not just purebloods, as above muggles, so he valued magical life more than Moldyshorts appears to." Sirius let out a snort before he clapped his hand over his mouth to keep from bursting out. "He only killed those that got in his way, not indiscriminately like this bastard. The only ones who somewhat avoid his wrath are his Death Monkeys."

"'Somewhat'?"

"If he's unhappy he'll take his anger out on them, usually with a Cruciatus."

"How do you know that?" She just smiled that infuriating smile that wasn't an answer.

"Back to why you don't trust Dumbledore," Remus said.

"Nothing is more important to him than the 'greater good'-"

"That's important," James interrupted.

"I'm not saying it isn't but he can't and won't put individual lives before that 'greater good', how does that make him, in that sense, different from Riddle?"

James and Remus started sputtering defenses of Dumbledore but her question made Sirius think. As he thought he went through all the meetings, everything that had happened, the lives lost, and he knew she was right. Dumbledore might be on the side of the light but that did not make him a good man. There had been times where the information he had could have saved lives but in the bigger scheme of things might have shown his hand, so he didn't act.

"She's not wrong." James and Remus turned toward their friend, half-way not believing what he had just said. "Think about it, there have been some meetings where he's talked about information that could have helped save someone's life."

James and Remus made faces because they couldn't say he was wrong, but it didn't sit well with them that a man they respected and trusted would have done those things on purpose. Then they looked to Lily to be the voice of reason, but she just shrugged her shoulders. That's when they remembered she had questioned Dumbledore's orders before.

"Not to mention he's an idealist."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"When you face off against the Death Eaters you don't use any spells that will incapacitate them, following Dumbledore's orders, right?"

"So you're saying we should fight like them?"

"No," She answered annoyed. "But this is a war, you don't have to sink to their level, but let me ask you this, if it came down to your life or your loved ones life and the person you're fighting, are you really going to just use a Flipendo or Expelliarmus and run?" The other's flinched at her harsh tone.

"They have zero problem using lethal spells, which is the reason you lot are at a disadvantage."

"We aren't Aurors-"

"I am," Sirius and James interrupted, Remus just glared at them.

"Anyway we don't have the authorization to-"

"Have you ever heard of self-defense?" Runa asked incredulously. "Let's be real here. You. Are. At. War. War is not pretty and very rarely does one come out squeaky clean. Defend yourself and those around you with everything you've got, even if it means bloodshed, as long as it's the other person's."

"You're not much of a light witch are you?" Sirius asked.

"Light, maybe not, but neither am I dark. Grey suits me, and the Landvik's and has for a long time. Magic is not light or dark, there is a whole spectrum of grey in there, it just depends on how you use it."

"If I was found using a dark spell-" Remus started.

"Did I ever say to use dark spells? No I did not. There are spells that can incapacitate your opponents without the use of dark spells, and with your mastery in Defense Against the Dark Arts you should know that." Runa studies Remus' features, in them she could see the anger but there was something else there as well.

"What happened?" Runa's question caught Remus off guard. "There's got to be more." Remus clenched his jaw and wouldn't look at any of them.

"Remus?" James said coming over to his clearly distraught friend.

"I-I'm a werewolf," everyone looked at one another confused. "If I hurt someone, even in defense, I'll be in Azkaban faster than I can blink, or I'd be put down like a monster."

"Over our dead bodies," Lily said with venom. "If they try and do anything to you just because you're a werewolf they are going to face hell."

"They even try it," Runa said making the others turn to her. "They are not going to like having me as an adversary." James and Sirius just nodded along with her.

Remus was a little shocked that this woman that he barely knew would defend him like this, but he was also touched. He had never expected to be accepted, let alone by so many people.

"What were we talking about anyways?" James asked, knowing they had gotten off topic.

"Why she doesn't trust Dumbledore," Sirius said, "and I have to agree with her at least in regard to him withholding information and favoring the 'greater good' over the individual."

"I have other reasons but they are none of your business." Sirius just glared at her, but immediately looked to James when he let out a sharp cry of pain and clutched at his head.

"Jamie?" Sirius said as he went to his brother.

"One of the cornerstones," he gritted through his teeth. He didn't need to say anymore. Immediately Lily was rushing to get Harry while Runa, Sirius and Remus ran out of the house, James following shortly after.

"Which direction?" Runa asked, James just pointed north.

"Hati!" The men looked at Runa confused before they saw a dark wolf, slightly smaller than Fen, looped out to meet them. This wolf was no less impressive than the last but he wasn't completely black instead his coat had areas with a silver undertone.

"Defend," Runa ordered to the wolf whom immediately rushed inside. "No one is going to get past him. Fen! Skoll!" Two more large figures come running out of the forest, one they had seen before the other the complete opposite with a beautiful pure white coat. They came to a halt in front of their mistress.

"Seek."

That one word and they were off like a shot, moving faster than seemed possible.

"If someone has intruded they'll catch them, but we better go." The men nodded.

Lily watched as the four melted into the woods that surrounded their home with her heart in her throat. If they're attacking here maybe they've gone after the Longbottoms, she thought. Without a second hesitation she sent her Patronus to check on her friends.

It felt like hours before she heard the door open again but Hati didn't react which meant that it was her family. First through the door was James followed by Sirius and Remus.

"Where's Runa?"

"Here," she said as she came in.

"What were you doing?"

"Calling Fen and Skoll back," she said as she walked further in. "Hati go join them." The rest swore that the wolf nodded his head before he padded out.

"How's Prongslet?"

"He was a little upset about being woken up but he fell back to sleep pretty easily. What did you find out?"

"Whoever did this used a targeted attack and the magic they used had to have been used by more than one person, but there was no one there when we got there." James relayed the rest of what they had found, none of it good. They were discussing it when Alice's Patronus came soaring in.

"Lily I got your message, and no we haven't been attacked yet but we will keep you updated." Alice's eagle faded, leaving only silence.

"So it seems that the Potter's are his first target," Runa queried. "Why?"

James and Lily passed an uneasy look between each other before James answered.

"Dumbledore's spy said that Riddle is targeting Harry over Neville."

"Why?" Sirius asked.

"Something about them being more similar, something about their heritage, I don't know."

"More similar? How?"

"Well there's a possibility that the Potter's are desendents of Godric Gryffindor," James supplied at a loss for what that connection might be.

"I doubt that's the only thing," Runa said running her hand through her hair, but then she caught a look of abject horror on Lily's face.

"Lily?" Runa said approaching Lily, noticing she had paled considerably. Lily flinched when Runa touched her but when Runa looked into Lily's eyes she could see the horror but with some guilt mixed in. "Lily what's wrong?"

"This is all my fault," she broke down.

"What?" James questioned, moving to stand next to his wife. "There's no way this is your fault." But Lily wasn't listening to him, she was babbling to Runa, who's arms she held in a nail biting grip.

"If I had just come clean after I graduated maybe none of this would be happening," she said tears streaming down her face. "If I had just- If I had just-" Lily seemed unable to get the rest out and buried her head in her husband's chest. James, Sirius and Remus were at a total loss, but Runa seemed to understand.

"Why would that matter here Lily?"

"He's targeting Harry because he thinks he's a half-blood, like him, he just has to be," she mumbled against James' chest. Runa reeled back but the guys were confused. Harry was a half-blood by the standards of their society since Lily was a muggleborn, but…

"Lily what are you talking about?" James asked.

"If what you said is correct about being descended from Gryffindor -"

"No," James interrupted Runa glaring at her. "What does she mean by 'thinks he's a half-blood'?" James, Sirius and Remus saw indecision cross Runa's features for the first time, but then she sighed, and turned resigned eyes to Lily.

"Lily?" she called softly, however Lily still refused to look up but after a second of silent pressure nodded her head against her husband's chest. Runa sighed again before making her way to the shelf, grabbing the photo album James had looked through earlier. Runa turned to the first page and on a sigh showed the picture to James.

The picture held four people, two men, who looked identical to one another, and a woman holding a baby. The woman, who apart from the eyes and nose was the spitting image of his wife and a baby with a fuzz of dark red hair. James sharply looked up from the picture into Runa's eyes, that apart from the color looked exactly like the men's, exactly like his wife's.

No, he thought shaking his head. Lily wouldn't… but James couldn't finish his thought because there right there in that photo explained so many missing pieces. James looked down at his wife who had his shirt in a tight grip, almost as if she were afraid of his reaction. James pulled his arms from around his wife, when he did she tighten her grip even more, but he cupped her face making her look him in the eye.

He could see the guilt and the fear that this secret had made her feel, and wondered why she had never told him but then he remembered her words; do you really think they would have believed me? They wouldn't have and I would have made myself an even bigger target.

"Lily, this changes nothing," he whispered to her. "You're still the woman I pined after for years, you're still the woman who gave this 'toerag'," Lily let out a watery laugh at that old name, "a chance when you said that you'd rather date the giant squid. You're still the same strong woman that I married and love more every day."

As James had spoken Lily's hands had come up to wrap around his wrists, and tears leaked out, which James brushed away with his thumb. They were in their own little world and the others knew there was no way for anyone to enter but Sirius heard what James had said, so he went to Runa who still held the album.

"What is he talking about?" Sirius whispered in Runa's ear. Her only response was to hold up the picture for Sirius and Remus, who had come up behind him, to see. They studied it, then a look of realization crossed their features as they looked back and forth between the obviously magical photo and their friend. Both men open and closed their mouths at a loss for words, and now Sirius felt his stomach churn.

He recognized the men, or at least one of them but he didn't know which one. Sirius had met Lord Cromwell once years ago when he had his heir lessons with his grandfather over the summer. He hadn't seemed like the other lords Sirius had met up to that point, the man that while intimidating had been kind with kind eyes, but then Sirius had ended up coming to the conclusion that if anyone was associated with his family that they were no different from them.

That's why she reacted the way she did, Sirius thought thinking of earlier that day. They're her family.

"Lily?" Sirius said. He waited till she looked him in the eye to continue. "I'm so sorry."

Lily just blinked at him.

"I shouldn't have said those things about the Cromwell's."

"Sirius you didn't know any better."

"Still I put my foot in my big mouth." Lily let out a small laugh. "But why didn't you ever say anything?" James and Remus nodded to Sirius' question. Lily looked to Runa who just shrugged her shoulders.

"At first," she started turning in James' arms to fully face the others, while James' arms were still around her waist. "It was because I didn't want to believe that my parents had lied to me for my first eleven years, that's why I never said anything to Severus. But after the first time I meet Runa and Uncle Connell and spent the three weeks leading up to going to Hogwarts with them, part of me couldn't wait to tell people about my families." At that Lily looked over to Runa who sighed.

"But we warned her that she needed to be very selective about who she told."

"Why?" Sirius asked.

"Do you know why my father ended up taking over the Cromwell lordship?" The men shook their heads, but Lily dug her nails into James arms making him grimace at their bite.

"They were killed." Lily's whisper was so low that they almost didn't catch it, but those words said so full of grief made their stomachs drop.

"Lily?" James asked holding her closer to him resting his cheek on her head dreading what he knew was coming.

"He killed them," she spat with venom. "That no good bastard killed my parents when I was only a couple months old."

"Why?"

"Because they wouldn't join him? Maybe because they refused him something? We don't know." Hot tears trailed down Lily's cheek, as the anger and despair that always accompanied thinking about her birth parents came to the forefront chocking her. She turned around in her husband's arms burrowing into his chest. The others knowing Lily couldn't talk anymore turned to Runa to finish explaining.

"What we know about what happened is all circumstantial but for the most part we've theorized that he somehow cut off any escape routes, so no apparition, no floo, no portkey, then locked them in their house and burned them alive with Fiendfyre."

The men had to swallow the bile that rose in their throats. They could see the anger and hatred that Runa exhibited and the grief that surrounded Lily.

"Then how did Lily survive?" Remus asked. The women looked at each other before Runa nodded.

"Again we don't know specifics but according to my father Aunt Rowan was working on a new type of transportation spell, so something Riddle wouldn't have known to block."

"But if that worked then why didn't they all escape?"

"Maybe it was a one person kind of spell or maybe it couldn't be used on the person who was casting. We don't know. What we do know is what happened afterwards."

"My parents told me that I was found in an alley in London," Lily said wrapping her arms around James' waist, as if in need of the support that holding him brought, "wrapped up in a blanket, good quality but singed, so at first the police and child services thought I might have been kidnapped but when no missing child reports that fit my description came in, they thought perhaps I was the result of a teenage pregnancy, and that either my birth mother or birth father had been well enough off to have been able to afford that blanket. They didn't know though and I ended up in a muggle orphanage."

"But you didn't know you were adopted right?"

"I wasn't there long, my mum volunteered there, she had just had a miscarriage and been told that she would never have any more children because of it, when I came in. She told me it was fate, that I was meant to be theirs."

"Where was your father during all of this?" Sirius asked Runa.

"Helligdom, but when the wards around the Cromwell estate fell he went to go check. He was swamped in grief for a long time, but my mother was already pregnant with me, apparently my birth is what brought him out of the deepest parts of his depression. It was Lily's first birthday that my father found out that Lily was still alive, and no I'm not telling you how." The three men shut their mouths.

"He went searching, hell bent on taking care of Uncle Eric's child and protecting her until she could take on the title of Lady Cromwell." The men made confused faces. "The Cromwell line is matriarchal but until Lily there hasn't been a girl born into the main family in seven hundred years. Anyway it took about four years for my father to find her. At first he just wanted to take her and obliviate the Evans family. It wouldn't have been hard, but he observed them and decided that it would be cruel to Lily to take her away from a loving family. So instead he spoke to the Evans and told them a muggle-fide version of the events. They didn't want to tell Lily. My father understood but at least wanted her to have some sort of relationship with us so brought up the idea of us writing back and forth. They were against the idea at first but they relented."

"Why did they relent?" James asked pointedly.

"He threatened to take Lily away." The men made a face at the matter-of-fact tone. "What? Lily is family and he knew she was a witch, a case could be argued that my father broke the Statue of Secrecy by not taking her."

"Did your father tell them?" Remus asked.

"Not until after Lily got her Hogwarts letter. They were grateful especially after they found out about the Statue, and that he was well within his rights to take Lily away just because of that."

"So your birth name.."

"Is Liliana Althaia Cromwell, my blanket was embroidered but my parents shortened it."

"That's another reason that we wanted Lily to be cautious. She had a muggle upbringing but is the heir to one of the most prominent pureblood families in Great Britain. How do you think the other noble pureblood lines would have reacted?"

"Poorly." Sirius offered. "There's no way that any of the pureblood families would have taken that well. The more stringent ones might have killed the Evans just to make sure that Lily never returned to the muggle world, and they would have justified it most likely saying that it was done to protect Lily from being dirtied by the muggle world."

"Now do you see why I never said anything?" Lily looked pleadingly at her friends who nodded in turn, Lily's shoulders sagged in relief. "Thank you."

"It's not that big of a deal," Sirius commented. "And like Prongs said you're still you." Lily teared up making all the men start clucking over her. Runa on the other hand was studying Lily before a knowing look overtook her features.

"Well I think that's enough for one night," Runa interrupted. "You're all exhausted. I'll leave Hati here-"

"And Skoll?" Lily's pleading eyes made quick work.

"And Skoll," Runa relented with a sigh.

"Can Skoll stay in the manor while Hati patrols?" Both women turned towards James who felt like he was a stag stuck in headlights.

"Sure," James said uncertain of what he just agreed too.

"I'll be right back."

Sirius followed her, when he stepped outside he was shocked at what he saw. There were glowing runes that seemed to surround the entire manor. He walked over to them to try and see if he could decipher them.

"What are these?" James asked. Sirius looked and noticed that the others had followed as well. Remus was just behind James, both of whom were studying the glowing runes. Beyond them the women and wolves were standing together, seeming to be unsurprised by what surrounded them.

"Did you do this?" Sirius yelled across the lawn.

"Not this again," Runa mumbled. "Really?" she yelled back, "What is your problem?"

"There's no way that you set this up before you came inside."

"I didn't have to, you nitwit."

"What?"

Lily, James and Remus watched amused at the volleying of words as Runa and Sirius shouted back and forth.

"This has been here since the wedding, it just hadn't been activated yet."

"Huh?"

"The only ones that know how to activate or deactivate this runic sequence are me and Lily, so this was a last resort."

"What? Why wait till now?"

"Because it-!" She was interrupted when Fen sent her face first into the ground only to then stand over her protectively along with the other two wolves, letting out menacing growls. Sirius held up his hands in a placating gesture taking a step back. An incoherent mumble came from Runa soon followed by the wolves moving back. When she sat up it was to glare at Sirius.

"It's none of your business." Before he could open his mouth she cut him off. "All you need to know is that it's protection is absolute and nothing can get through it."

"Sirius, it can't be used for long periods of time," Lily imputed but it wasn't her words that stopped him, it was her expression. It was telling him to drop it but there was something else, in the end he nodded.

Sirius watched Runa's retreating back as she made her way back into the manor. She's just one big mystery, he thought, slowly a wicked smirk graced his lips. Bring it on!

Thank you all so much!

Please leave a review, I really appreciate them!
