Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

A.N. There is some violence in this chapter, and Harry and them are not shown, but hope you enjoy it anyway. Don't worry, Harry will be back next chapter, just couldn't fit them in this one. It also shows the point of view of four different people, in four different places, hope it doesn't confuse anyone.

Chapter: 5

Rigel Black had spent the better part of his Saturday looking for his best friend Teddy, who seemed to have disappeared after breakfast. Any other time Rigel wouldn't be concerned; he would just figure he was off somewhere making out with his girlfriend Luna Lovegood, but not the way Hogwarts was now, Rigel tried his best to keep Teddy in his sights. Rigel's friend had become the favorite target of the Death Eaters who now ran Hogwarts, being the son of a werewolf, the most hated werewolf among the purebloods, since he stood up for what he thought was right and what he thought was fair. Remus Lupin was the first known of his kind to seek a normal life beyond full moons and savagely attack innocent people, who just happened to wander out on a full moon. Remus Lupin attended Hogwarts like a normal wizard, found normal friends, even a wife and family, was two kids he loved more than anything: Something the Death Eaters did not like at all, they believed werewolves to be beneath everything expect a house-elf, saw them no more than a dog that had the ability to walk in a human form so many days out of a month.

The fact that Remus Lupin had married a witch sickened them, and to top that, he was married to the first half-blood to be born into the line of proud a well known purebood family. The Blacks, who already saw Nymphadora Tonks was a disgrace to the Black family line, but she had to top that by marrying a werewolf and give birth to his two children.

Teddy was proof of something the Blacks and anyone related to them tried to hide all these years: That one of their own married what they saw as an animal: So Teddy became the number one target of the Death Eaters and Rigel had a feeling ole' Bella was behind it. The Lupins had sense enough to hide Britney away somewhere safe and not allow her to go back to Hogwarts this year. The only other person who knew who she was besides her parents was Sirius Back.

At first, Teddy seemed to be able to take care of himself, he may come off as a complete goofball, who didn't take anything serious and walked to the beat of his own drum, but Rigel and Teddy's other friends knew deep down he was tough, and could duel with the best of them. And Teddy proved that at first, he stood up for the Muggle-born being targeted by the Death Eaters, the half-bloods and the ones they saw as blood-tarders. Teddy, Rigel and most of the ones apart of Defiance did the best they could get together and help the ones targeted by Death Eaters, they helped when they were being cursed as punishment, they helped when they Slytherins picked on them, they snuck into Hogsmeade twice a week using secret passages to get food for the Gryffindores and the rest of the houses, that wasn't getting decent meals at meal times.

Rigel and Teddy also had Harry's cloak, Harry allowed them to borrow it so they could spy, and that's what helped them get all kinds of information they gave to the order by the magic two-way mirror he spoke to Sirius through. And help stopped a lot of attacks doing it.

But last Friday when Teddy returned from a detention, covered in cuts and blood and barely able to stand it scared Rigel to death, he laid Teddy on his bunk and took care of his friend's wounds and made him stay in bed and rest for the rest of the weekend. After that day Rigel did his best to always be by Teddy, how he had slipped away from him this time he had no clue and was disparate to find him, hoping this time if they did something to him, the Death Eaters did not kill him. If so, Rigel would make them suffer with everything he had. And then leave what little was left when he got done for his two vampire friends.

Rigel turned a corner about the same time a loud scream was let out, he picked up his pace and ran down the corridor and turned another corner just as another screamed echoed down the halls, he stopped to listen, so he could try to see where the screaming was coming from when he heard it again; he knew that voice, it was female and loud, but he knew it, but couldn't place it.

Rigel figured out where the scream was coming from and pulled out his wand as he took off running toward it. He turned another corner and almost ran right into Neville Longbottom, who also had a wand out.

"Wow, mate, it's just me." Neville cried, holding up his hands. Rigel nodded and lowered his wand. "I heard someone scream and was trying to find them to help."

"I was too." Rigel told the younger boy. Just then the scream let out again. They both looked down a corridor to the side. "It's coming from that way."

Both boys took off running down the corridor, this wasn't unusual now at Hogwarts, since the first day of classes, the braver students had run all over the place to help some student who had the bad luck to tick off one of the Death Eater professors, or just for walking down the hall. Hogwarts had turned into nothing more than a torture ground for Voldemort's supports and it was now a daily thing to see a professor and a student in the middle of a corridor or class- room, or even in the Great Hall locked in a battle, with spells being thrown everywhere, or a student on the ground screaming in pain as a professor stands above them screaming out some painful curse.

The latter was the case when Rigel and Neville found the one screaming; it was Tiffany Miller, Brittany Lupin's best friend, and muggle-born student. She was on the ground crying in pain as the Carrows stood over her taking turns casting the crucio spell on her, her wand lay on the ground not far from her, and the way it laid and how her hand was lying next to it, told Rigel she had tried to fight back. Hydra Lastrange was also there, she stood in the back watching with a face full of glee: Like her mother she took pleasure in seeing others suffer in pain.

"Hey!" Rigel cried out "Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back!"

The Carrows looked up and sneered when they saw who it was.

"If it isn't the little blood-trader." Amycus said, next to him his sister Alecto laughed

"Call me what you want." Rigel spat "But at least I'm not the one bullying a child. Is that all it takes to be a Death Eater, if you're able to beat up little kids, Voldemort welcomes you, not shocking considering that's what he does."

"Do not talk of the Dark Lord like that!" Alecto screamed, her voice echoing across the corridor, making Rigel winced a little, not in fear, no, Alecto's voice just did that to you, it was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

"You could have been one of us." Hydra spoke up for the first time "Mother offered you a place next to her, one of the Dark Lord's favorites. You turned her down, you showed her nothing but disrespect. You shall pay for that with your life, Mother gave me the job of killing you when I see fit, not now though, when you least expect it."

The words Hydra spoke was true, being a purblood and a Black at that, and with his talents, Bellatrix Lastrange had called him to the headmasters office three days after school begun, she offered to take him before the Dark Lord and have him branded as one of his little puppets, said his father would have been proud of it, it would have been what he would have wanted. Rigel's only response had been to spit in Bellatrix's face before walking out of her office without another word.

"You really have me scared." Rigel rolled his eyes. "Really, shaking in my boots, I better run and-" He suddenly had to duck a spell thrown his way by Hydra. He straightened up and gripped his wand tighter, but did nothing, wanting the right time to curse.

"You disrespected my Mother!" Hydra screamed. "I will not allow you to disrespect me! Or the Dark Lord." Hydra lifted her arm and pulled down her sleeve, showing a Dark Mark, Rigel made a face.

"Doesn't surprise me that you went out and got that." He said. Hydra sneered and held her arm higher as if it was a trophy of some kind.

"This is not new!" She screamed. "I had this all my arm since the day I was born!"

"Wha...what?" Neville asked, shock on his face, and a look as sick of Rigel felt, who did that to their child. No one seemed to notice that Tiffany had crawled off in the shadows somewhere taking her wand with her.

"It was put there by the Dark Lord himself." Hydra said, voice full of pride. "When Mother and Father asked him to be my godfather."

Rigel suddenly felt as if he was going to get sick, what kind of wackos was he related to.

"And he's the greatest, most powerful...most-"

"Stupefy!" Was suddenly heard, and Hydra's stopped her rant and dropped to the ground as if she had been hit over the head with a brick: Standing behind her smirking was Tiffany. Though she stood her ground, her eyes showed nothing, but pain and she looked as if she could drop anytime.

"Sorry, but her rant was even worse torture than the curse I was just under." She said. Rigel smirked a little and Neville looked at her shocked. Tiffany staggered a little and reached out to grab the wall to keep from falling.

The two Carrow siblings got over their shock and both tossed a spell at Tiffany, but the two shield charms, Rigel and Neville cast at Tiffany, made both spells bounce off and hit a portrait on the wall, the women picking flowers in the portrait, cried out dropped her flowers and ran to the portrait next to her's and hide behind a couple of old wizards playing chess, who was now yelling about spells being cast in the corridors and hitting innocent portraits.

The Carrows turned their sneers to Rigel and Neville as Tiffany slid down to the floor no longer able to stand.

"Crucio!" Amycus yelled, pointing his wand at Neville, he ducked and came back up with a spell of his own, it hit Amycus making his legs dance. He shouted out a long line of swear words. His sister tried to throw a curse at Neville, but Rigel blocked it with a shield charm and threw one back, but she blocked it and tossed one at Rigel, who ducked, and came back with a jinx that got her. Alecto went flying back and hit the floor hard.

Amycus was able to get the spell off his legs, which were now a little wobbling dure to all the dancing they had been cursed to do, he cast a torture charm toward Rigel, but he blocked it with a shield charm and before he could throw one back, someone got him from behind with a slicing charm, that sliced across his side, Rigel cried out in pain and fall to his knees, though he did not drop nor even loosen the grip on his wand.

Neville looked behind them to see: Crabbe, Goyle and Theodore Nott coming their way, wands out, it had been Crabbe who got Rigel with a slicing cures.

Rigel, ignoring the screaming pain and the blood pouring from his side, stood up, he and Neville standing shoulder to shoulder, Alecto and gotten up, along with Hydra who just woken from the stupefy Tiffany had cast at her.

They were way out numbered now, it was Rigel and Neville against, The two Carrows, Hydra Lastrange, Crabbe, Goyle, and Nott: That was six against two, and Rigel didn't like their chances but he nor Neville showed any fear, as they raised their wands.

Alecto laughed. "You two should just give up, you know you can't win with these odds."

Behind the Carrows and Hydra, someone laughed.

" Rigel 'Trouble' Black give up." A familiar voice laughed. "You must be joking, he wouldn't give up if it was a hundred Death Eaters against just him."

They all turned to see Teddy Lupin and he wasn't alone, next to him was his girlfriend, Luna Lovegood, on the other side was Dean Thomas, behind him stood, The Petals, The Creevys, Lisa Turpin, and many more of the group Harry had taught in fifth-year, all standing by or around Teddy, all holding their wands out. Now they out numbered the Death Eaters.

Before anyone could even blink spells, and hex, went flying everywhere, portrait yelled and screamed and even swore at them, but no one paid them any mind, as they duel. It only lasted about five minutes before the Death Eaters took off running down the hall.

"Well, how will they explain that one to ole's Voldy?" Teddy asked, smirking. "Imagine being defeated by the students you were suppose to be teaching a lesson."

"There were only three teachers, so don't get too cocky, Lupin." Dean said, though he was smirking a little himself.

"Yeah, but fighting Hydra is almost as bad as fighting her mother." Rigel said. He had knelt to check on Tiffany.

"We need to get her to..." Padma was saying then stopped, there was no more Madam Pomfrey, or hospital wing, second day of school they were both gotten ride of and Madam Pomfrey had disappeared.

"Lets' take her to that room we used in fifth year." Teddy said. Rigel looked up at him with narrowed eyes.

"Where the bloody hell have you been?" He demanded. "I've been looking for you for hours." Teddy's face turned red, and he rubbed his neck, which was covered in what looked a lot like hickys. Rigel rolled his eyes, and ignoring the pain in his side, lifted Tiffany up.

"Yeah, the Room of Requirement, should give us the things we need for our wounds." He said.

"Also known as the Come and Go room." Luna smiled, Rigel rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." He mumbled and turned and led them down the hall.

"I think we need to act now!" Sirius said, slamming his hand down on the table. He and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix were sitting around the kitchen table at number 12 Grimmauld place. Every since Dumbledore was killed none of them seemed to be able to agree on what to do or anything for that matter.

"No, it's too dangerous" Molly Weasley said, frowning at the thought of putting her family in danger.

"I agree with Sirius." Remus Lupin said. He gave Molly a serious look. "It's not going to get any less dangerous, if anything it's going to get worse, you all heard what Rigel and Teddy have told us, Hogwarts is nothing more than a torture ground for our children. Not to mention you can't even step foot into Daigon Ally. Or Hogsmeade, the Ministry and just about every wizardry place has been taken over."

"Like I said we need to act now." Sirius said. "We need to start with Hogwarts, get Rigel and Teddy out of their, along with all those other innocent children."

"We need a plan first." Moody said, his eye zooming all over the place.

Sirius snorted "Why, just go in and attack."

"No, he's right." Tonks said. "We need a plan, so the kids don't get hurt in the cross-fire."

"And I say we don't do anything yet." Molly said.

"I agree with Molly." Kingsley said. "We need to know more of what's going on, how it's guarded, how we can get in unnoticed." Most the order nodded in agreement with him.

"That's what I mean by we need a plan." Moody said. After Dumbeldore's death he sort of became the unofficial leader of the order.

"What about Teddy?" Tonks said. "I can't stand the thought of my son going through all that. You all know he's been targeted the most."

"That's why I did not allow Ginny and Ron to go back." Molly said. Sirius snorted.

"Ginny didn't go back because Harry didn't go back." Sirius said.

"But if he had, I still-"

"You couldn't have stopped her, Molly." Sirius said. "Ginny is seventeen, not to mention married, if Harry had went, she would have."

"No, she wouldn't have." Molly said. "I happen to care about my kids."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Tonks demanded.

"Alright, alright." Arthur Weasley held up his hands before a fight could break out. He looked at his wife. "Molly, dear, you know there would have been no stopping Ginny, if Harry had, but, he didn't so no use arguing the point.."

"Arthur is right." Kingsley said. "There is no use of arguing over something that may or may not have happened, wast of time. Now let's put this to a vote, whoever wants to act now raise your hands." Sirius, Tonks, Remus, Arthur and a few others raised their hands. "Now, who wants to wait and plan later when we know more raise your hands." Everyone else which was most of the Order raised their hands.

Sirius let out a growl jumped up and went out of the kitchen slamming the door behind him.

"Okay, I guess the meetings over, next one, next Friday at 8:00." Moody said, and one by one started leaving after saying their byes and see you later. Only Tonks stayed behind, so Remus could go and check on Sirius.

Few blocks away in St. Mungo's, one of the last places to be taken over by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, a healer went into a room on the fifth floor to give a patient their daily potions and to check their vile signs, and to see how they were coming along. She opened the door and went in, not looking at the bed at first. She went to the cabinet to get his potions ready, then turned around and headed for the bed, once they were all ready.

"Good evening, sir." She said, still not looking at the bed, the patient was in a comatose state, has been since he was brought in, but the healers all still talked to him, in the belief he might be able to hear what was going on around him.

"I got your potions." She said, "Same as always no need to-" She stopped when she finally looked at the bed, it was empty. The Healer just stood and stared a moment, blinking as if that would make him appear, then dropped the potion bottles, and turned and fled the room, calling for security. The comatose man couldn't of got up and walked away. He was he most watched patient in all of St. Mungo's considering he was guilty of murder.

Frona stood up and yawned, the sun would come up any minute now, she had been up all night working, trying to come up with a way for the vampires to go out during the day, an idea of her husband's but lately Frona had been working on it more, as her husband was very busy, days ago they threw out the idea of a potion and decided to go with trying to make a magic lotion, that the vampires could rub on their skin.

Frona left the library where she had been working and headed down the hall, wondering if Daniel was asleep, and debating on if she should wake him just to bug him, when a loud glass breaking noise made Frona turn around with a frown on her face, she stopped and listened, and after a moment she heard growling and screaming, so, she took off running toward the sounds, which were coming from the front of the mansion, where the large front doors where, some had broken in she was sure of it.

"What's going on." A voice said from a side corridor, Frona stopped and looked to see Harry's older brother Jesse Potter standing there.

"I think someone is attacking, tell Cody to get Hermione go out the back and apparate some place safe." She ordered, Harry would never forgive them if something happened to his family. "Go with them."

"But-"

"Do it!" Frona snapped, with a growl teeth showing. Jesse blinked a moment, then nodded and turned and ran back down the corridor, Frona could only hope he had listened as she took off running back toward the noise.

When Frona finally made it, she saw a group of Death Eaters and werewolves had broken in, and attack, spells, jinx and cures were falling everywhere, she even had to duck one, there was also fur flying, with the clans vampire speed, not many were getting hit, in fact the vampires, even though caught off guard they were winning, but what did they expect from the house that was trained and taught to fight in battle.

Frona ducked another spell, came back up and got a Death Eater across the face with her claws as she hissed out, his mask went flying, and she got him again, this time meeting skin and putting three large gashes down his face. She got him a few more times, then kicked him in the chest and sent him flying down the hall. She turned without another though and did the same to a few more Death Eaters, most had given up and was fleeing, at one point she saw her husband Daniel taking down two Death Eaters at once, they looked at each other, and nodded, each letting the other know they were fine and had not been hurt.

But the moment Frona turned around, a giant wolf like claw came down and got her in the shoulder sending Frona flying across the room, she hit the wall and slid down to the floor.

Dazed for a moment, Frona looked up to see the werewolf Greyback standing above her, her shoulder was bleeding, and her head hurt from hitting the floor.

Suddenly Frona heard a growl and looked toward her right, to see Daniel in his vampire mode, fangs hanging down, claws out and all: Greyback didn't seem to notice as he raised a hand to et Frona again, but quicker than a blink of an eye Daniel was on their side of the corridor and putting his clawed hand threw Grayback's throat. Grayback fell to the ground hard. Dead.

At the sight of Grayback's body, the rest of the Death Eaters went running along with the werewolves. As Daniel knelt to check on his wife, Mark, and his group of buddies, the ones that was closet to Harry, and Ginny, besides Frona and Daniel came dragging a battered and beaten Death Eater toward them.

"He led them here." Mark growled, Daniel stood, helping Frona to her feet has he did so. "And look who it is." Mark took off the bloody Death Eater mask to see Bryce, once second in command of the house. Harry had kicked him out about a year ago, because he was too much of a rebel and was getting closer and closer to being out of control. He had wanted Harry's place as head of the house too much.

"Lock him up." Daniel growled. "We'll deal with him later, right now my wife needs tending to, and we need to figure out a plan. They know where our house is. Which means we need to leave, the moment the sun goes down again. We need somewhere else to stay."

A.N. Hope that was a good chapter, Harry and the others will appear in the next chapter, so will Teddy and Rigel again.
