Lisa: Welcome back! Here is another installment of the amazing story I have created...

Heather: Riiiiight...

Lisa: Yeah... so read it or else.

Heather: Or else what?

Lisa: You really wanna find out?

Heather: No.

Lisa: Thought so.

Trapped

Ow, was Sirius's first thought as he regained his consciousness, where am I? He thought still with his eyes closed. His hangover was too intense to try and open his eyes now. Okay, he thought, I'm on something hard, I must be on my kitchen floor, I've woken up here before, and it's cold. Not a problem, I didn't turn on the heat when I came home. Wait, came home from where?

Sirius thought back as far as his hung-over head could think back, okay I was at a club with the guys... not wait the girls. Andy and Heather, yeah them. We all got really drunk, really, really drunk, Heather went back to her place I think, Andy told me when I was talking to that hot blond. Then we went home after a couple hours or maybe it was five minutes oh well, it doesn't matter. We started going home, it was dark, and late, the lights went out... There was a big bright light... that's it. Sirius tried to remember after that but soon found that he had nothing.

Sirius tried opening his eyes, he expected to meet with a bright light but found that he was actually in a dark place. Opening them more he found he was defiantly not on his kitchen floor. What the hell he thought as he tried to sit up, only finding that that hurt too much. He winced and slowly moved his arms around so he could prop himself up on his elbows. Once he was in a decent position he looked around and surveyed his surroundings, the floor was cement, the walls were cement, it looked like a cell. There was one window but something on it must have been blocking the light from coming in.

Wait, he thought in the middle of his observations.

Andy.

Where was she?

He bolted up ignoring the pain he felt from the hangover and the aching all over his body from unknown reasons to him. Quickly he scanned the room and he spotted Andy not far away. Her long hair was limply displayed all around her and her back was to him.

Sirius rushed over to her as fast as his injured body could carry him. When he got to her body he carefully turned her over and checked her vitals. Living with Remus and James in a dorm for seven years didn't teach him anything. Thankfully she was still breathing, she was just unconscious.

He let out a sigh and then looked her over, the only visible injury she had was a small gash on her head. Sirius cursed slightly when he saw it and bit his over shirt, ripping a piece off.

"Damn, Andy, I liked this shirt." He muttered as he began patting her head with the cloth. It didn't seem to be bleeding anymore, but when it was it bled a lot.

After a few minutes of this a quiet moan escaped from her moth and immediately caught Sirius's attention. "Andy?" he asked as he leaned over her so he could look at her face directly. "You awake?"

"Mmmm..." She moaned again her eyes still not open. "Remus...?"

"No, baby, sorry but it is I, Sirius the Great." He said with a sad smile on his face.

"Sirius?" She opened her eyes and looked around with some difficulty; Sirius caught a wince on her face. "Where the hell are we?"

"I wish I knew." He sighed. "You okay?"

"Yeah..." She said quietly but regaining some of her strength. "How bad is the cut?"

"How'd you know you had one?"

"I can smell the blood." She said trying to sit up, she succeeded with some help from Sirius. "It's only two days 'til the full moon." She murmured.

"Well we'll be out of here by then." Sirius assured as he took the cloth away from her head.

Andy turned and faced him, her gray eyes boring into his dark blue ones. "And how do you know that?" She asked quietly. "You don't know where we are. You don't know the time, or how long we've been out. Days could have passed for all we know the full moon could be tonight. I'm too hung-over to tell, my senses are still blocked I won't know for a couple hours and by then it may be too late."

"Don't talk like that." He said. "I'm sure we'll get out of here." But he wasn't sure, in face he was very scared, not only for his and Andy's sake of being trapped here but if the full moon really was that close he was not only worried for himself of dying or getting bitten by her if either of them couldn't leave. But for her sake, if she bit him or God forbid killed him she would never forgive herself. She never told him that, but Remus has told him that's how he felt, and he doubted she felt differently. "Just sit tight," he said after a pause. "We'll get out in no time, no need to fret." He grinned trying to lighten the melancholy mood.

He was successful Andy cracked a smile. "And people say I'm the optimistic one," she said.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The six pranking teenagers walked up to the desk of the ministry. They were in the department for missing persons, apparently during this time of Voldemort around there were many missing witches and wizards. James marched up to the lady who sat there writing on some parchment, when he started to speak she held up her finger and he sighed. This really could not wait.

After a few more seconds she looked up. "Hello, Sir, how may I help you?"

"I'd like to report two missing persons reports." He said and she nodded as she took out a form.

"Their names please." She said getting her quill ready.

"Sirius Orion Black," he waited for her to finish. "And Andromeda Athena Volk." He said and she wrote the names down.

"Ages?"

"Sirius is eighteen and Andromeda is seventeen."

"Time they went missing?"

"Last night, we're not sure of the time."

"Place?"

"That new club."

"I know the place, thank you, Sir, I'll have an Auror over to talk to you shortly." She said with a small, sympathetic smile on her face.

James found her odd; it seemed she had done this too many times. Like filing cases like this she did dozens of times a day. The group walked over to the chairs but only a few sat. Remus did but he immediately buried his head in his hands.

This was just a horrible time for him, not only had Andy gone missing but he also did not get the job he interviewed for. The second they found out he was a werewolf the entire attitude of his interviewer changed, of course he tried to play it off and be polite but by now Remus could tell hew as utterly disgusted by him. Despite that Remus kept his calm exterior, shook his hand and said thank you. He was so used to this by now it wasn't even funny (not that it would be anyway), this was the fourth time that week he was shot down because he was a werewolf.

Lily sat as well and forced James to sit next to her, she was constantly soothing him and giving them all reassuring words. James was jumpy and restless, he did not want to sit but Lily gave him no other choice. Peter was sitting next to them tapping his foot sharply on the ground and biting his bottom lip deep in thought.

Laura was pacing in front of them playing with a strand of brunette hair that strayed from the rest that wasn't bothered to pull back. She was nervous, terrified, she always cared deeply about the ones close to her and when they were in danger she would do anything to help. But this was a situation where she may not have been able to help. Heather was leaning against the wall her face tight and staring at an unknown object. No one messed with her friends, especially these friends who she no longer considered friends but her brother and sister.

They were unsure how they sat or stood there but when a man in Auror robes walked up to them they were all snapped out of their trances. "Excuse me; are you the families of Sirius Black and Andromeda Volk?" He asked looking at a sheet them back up at them.

They nodded and they all stood up looking at the man expectantly. "We're close enough." Remus said as he stood.

"Alright then, follow me." He said and turned around. "My name is Robert Johnson; I'll be the Auror looking into this case. Please accept my deepest consolation. And I'm sorry but the only room we have open right now is an interrogation room, my office is, er, preoccupied."

They walked in the small, gray room; this room certainly did not help the mood they were all in. If anything it just made it worse. He conjured up a few more chairs so everyone would have a seat. He sat down across from that and took a few papers out of a file.

"I got some information on the missing persons; they're going up on the missing persons board in the front now. I'd like to ask some questions, it says you don't know when they went missing at the club, do you have any general idea?"

"Well," Heather spoke up. "It had to of been after eleven, because I left at around eleven."

"You were there with them?"

"Yeah, um, I left when I met someone," she said a little hesitantly. "I talked to Andy before I left, she seemed pretty wasted."

"And you didn't think that you should stay and watch out for your friend?"

"Well no," Heather said. "I mean, it's Andy and Sirius. They're known for taking care of themselves, I didn't think..." She trailed off.

"Come on, don't go bombing Heather about this, she didn't do anything, all of us would have done that same thing. She's right; it is just Andy and Sirius. They're the ones that you wouldn't think this would happen too. But they're the ones that it's most likely to happen to." Remus said thinking. "Merlin, they're so reckless. I should have known they couldn't go alone they're too wild and insane to be frank. I should have canceled the interview and went with them." He rested his head in his hand, blaming himself fully for what happened.

"Hey, Rem?" James said putting his hand on Remus's shoulder and shaking him but he got no response. "Moony?" Remus looked up at him. "Not your fault you had no idea this would happen, you're just as innocent as Heather. Besides, you couldn't have canceled that interview; you know you need this job."

"I didn't get it." He moaned, "They shot me down, this week sucks so much."

"I'm sorry;" Said Johnson, "But I do have a few more questions."

"Proceed." Remus said motioning with his hand.

"When did you notice they were missing?"

"Some time around two we got a little worried. Normally they're not that bad, but then again..." James said smiling slightly. "But then two came around and they should have been back, we were all waiting for them and then three thirty came around we started searching for them. We didn't find them, then did it again about an hour later. Tried getting sleep but I doubt any of us had any, and now first thing in the morning we're here."

"I was reading their information they have here and I understand that Ms. Volk is a werewolf." He looked up from the files. "Is that true?"

"I don't see how that's relevant." Remus said quickly before anyone else could say anything else.

"Not usually its just it is very close to the full moon and I was wondering if possibly her –"

"If you're going to say what I think you're going to say then you are dead wrong." Remus's temper was beginning to rise but his calm exterior never changed. "Andy would never do such a thing, no werewolf trying to make it in this society would. And I do not understand why people insist that werewolves are dangerous even on days when they are human."

"Mr. Lupin, I understand you are a werewolf as well."

"What does that have to do with anything?" James said slightly offended.

"Where do you live?"

"I don't see how that's relevant." Laura said, very close to tears but her voice remained strong none the less. "Can we please get back on the matter at hand?"

"This is now the matter at hand, Ms...?"

"Avalon." Laura said stiffly.

"Ms. Avalon, I am supposed to examine every part of this case and this is a part of this case."

"You're a prejudice bastard." Lily said quietly speaking to him for the first time.

"Excuse me?" Johnson said raising his eyebrows.

"Because they're Lycans you're going to discriminate against them," she said. "I'm appalled, you're an Auror you're supposed to help everyone not only those you claim to like. You can go to hell!" She cried her voice rising. "I do not want to work with someone who is only going to focus on the fact that Andy and Remus are werewolves. Not the fact that they are human beings who need to be treated as anyone else in this world!" She stormed out of the room slamming the door behind her.

"If you weren't an Auror I would defiantly punch you in the face you bloody prick." James said standing up and following his girlfriend out.

Heather walked up to him and opened her mouth a few times wanting to say something cruel and witty like she usually did but finding nothing she grunted and walked out.

Laura shot him a disapproving glare (or what she thought was a glare) and stormed out followed by Peter who glared for a second.

The only one that was left was Remus who sat in his chair glaring daggers at the man. Being so close to the full moon his eyes were a strange hybrid of his normal blue and the wolfish gold due to how high his temper had grown. He could tell the man was uneasy, as if Remus would jump and attack him at any second and Remus wanted too.

"Good day Mr. Johnson," Remus growled, literally, at the man making him jump slightly.

When Remus walked out of the room his temper was still fuming, anyone who looked at him and did not know him would never know. But his friends had known him for years, they knew when he was mad and now he was really mad.

"Remus...?" Lily asked quietly as he came out of the room a few seconds later, he continued to just walk past them, an unreadable expression on his face.

The group followed him over to the elevator and they left the ministry without another word. They did try and get their friend to speak but at the moment he was too angry to say a word without snapping at everyone. When they left the ministry Remus briskly walked down the street, he still hadn't said a word.

"We don't need them." Remus said startling everyone by him sudden words.

"What?" Heather asked confused.

"I said we don't need them." He repeated through gritted teeth.

"But we do... don't we?" Laura asked timidly.

"No, you forget I am a bloody werewolf."

"Remus, I know you're mad about that guy but we can get someone else –" Lily began but she was cut off.

"No, well I mean I am, but I'm a werewolf." They all gave him blank stares. "Look, I've been one for years and years, longer then most my age. I'm adapted to my senses, you remember in school I always told you no one was around, when we didn't have the map of course, I'm better now. My senses are stronger then they were when I was thirteen and fourteen. As much as I despise this comparison I'm like a bloody bloodhound."

"So, you're saying you can try and smell them out?" Heather asked with her eyebrows raised. "Well that's... kind of disturbing..."

"So why didn't you do this last night?" James asked.

"My emotions affect my senses; the more upset I am the more they'll be off. You know if I get drunk my senses are just like yours right?" They nodded and looked slightly offended. "Well it's the same way with my emotions, now I couldn't do anything because I'm quite frankly really pissed off but if I can cool off I'm sure I'd be able to find out where they went or at least where they disappeared."

"Why hasn't anyone done this before for the missing people?" Peter asked.

"We're werewolves, Pete, for one people don't trust us, two most werewolves wouldn't want to do this for the people who hate us, and third it's hard with wizarding kidnappings they usually aparate to leave, they rarely walk away with the victim. And I can't track if they did aparate."

"Then what happens if they did aparate, we couldn't find out where they went." James said.

"I have a plan, but it's a little illegal, hard and highly dangerous." Remus said.

"We figured out how to become animagus when we were in school, mates, we can figure this out. We're older and smarter." James said.

"Well one out of two." Heather muttered.

"We can do this," James continued. "Now come on, we know the road they probably took home let's start there, how you feeling remus? You cooled off?"

"As cool as I'm going to get." He said and James nodded, "The let's go."

Lisa: Whoo! Now don't get to anxious people I have a lot more stuff to push aside until I can really get through this mess I created for myself.

Heather: Oh I'm sure they're on the edge of their computer chairs.

Lisa: Better be.

Heather: Thank you for the reviews although you should be thanking me because I posted this.

Lisa: Some of you may recall, back in 'From Beginning to End' I was having a lot of computer trouble at one point, well... it's happened again. For some reason this God damned site is not working properly and really pissing me off. No offense to all the lovely people who make this wonderful site possible.

Heather: ... Yeah so look out for another update...
