Albus Dumbledore sat behind his large desk, the characteristic twinkle gone from his eye. It was hard to keep a pleasant demeanor when three of your favorite students had just successfully bludgeoned another unconscious. "I don't even know where to begin."

"What were you thinking?" Professor McGonagall demanded harshly.

"He raped Remus," Sirius said calmly.

"W…what?" McGonagall squeaked, her voice sounding small.

Sirius began to shake violently. "That slimy, son of a bitch raped Remus!" He stood, pulling at his hair and began pacing angrily. "I need… I need to see him!"

Now, James stood. "This is BULL SHIT! Lucius raped our best mate and we're stuck in here being put on trial!"

"That's because the three of you just pulverized another student. Regardless of the circumstances, this is something we cannot overl—," but McGonagall interrupted him.

"How do you know?"

"What?" James asked.

"How do you know that Malfoy did… that?" She asked them quietly.

Sirius jerked around to face her. "Give- give him Veritaserum! Dump some down his fucking throat!" Suddenly, he broke into sobs. "He'll tell you himself!" He collapsed against a wall, cradling his head.

"Black, you need to calm down," she said. "We can't just give him a potion without cause."

"But you have to!" Peter cried out.

"It's what Sirius gave Remus! It can't be wrong!" James exploded. "We'll take the punishment later! Just— do something about Malfoy!"

Dumbledore sighed. McGonagall clutched her heart. "Veritaserum never lies, Albus. Oh, poor Remus." The three boys looked at her. Her eyes glistened as she pulled her emerald-colored hat more firmly on her head and she glanced up at the headmaster. "Should I fetch Horace to discuss Malfoy's punishm—," but she faltered.

"No," he replied slowly. "I'll send Phineas. I need you to take these three to your office. Do not let them out of your sight, Minerva. I don't trust them under these… circumstances."

She nodded curtly and the four left.

"Love, I don't understand why you didn't tell us!" Lily said through her tears.

"Lily," he sobbed. "You don't understand! After he did it, he just left me there… h-he swore that if I ever told, he would tell the entire school that I am… what I am." His shoulders shook.

She looked at him in horror. "Oh, Rem!" The redhead threw her arms around him. "I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this alone!" as they sat crying together on Remus' bed, the door burst open quite suddenly. Grant Thomas, Jericho Finningan, Arthur Weasley, Ethan Wood, Frank Longbottom, Pierce Bell, Garrick McLaggen, Fabian Prewett, and Kylar Johnson paraded into the room.

"Is it true?" Garrick demanded. "Did Malfoy really..?" He trailed off.

Both Remus and Lily nodded. "Why?" Lily asked.

"Cause we're gonna go kick some arse, then," Frank replied.

Before Lily and Remus could say anything, the boys trooped out once more. "You know," Arthur said after they were safely through the portrait hole. "Even for a Slytherin, this is sick and wrong."

"Fuck," Fabian replied. "This shit's even low for a Malfoy."

As they made their way passed the great hall, Cole called out, "Oy! You!" The second year Slytherin he shouted at took a quick look at the group of fifth, sixth, and seventh year Gryffindors and turned to run. "Oh, hell no!" He took off after the boy, catching him by the shoulder of his robes. "You are gonna take us to your common room and get us in," she said, pulling out his wand, "or we curse you into oblivion. Got it?"

"B-b-bloody hell," the small, dirty blonde stuttered. "I can't just—!" He stopped immediately as more of the boys began to surround him and pull out their wands. "O-okay. Okay! I'll t-take you."

Smugly, the boys followed him down the stairs, through the dungeons, and he stopped in front of a normal looking grey wall. "Say the password," Pierce growled.

"Basilisk," the terrified boy muttered. The concealed stone door slid open. As they entered, they noticed the common room was rather full. The Slytherins, it seemed, mainly haunted the shadows at the far corners of the room. A few lingered around the ornately carved fireplace, their faces an eerie combination of glowing orange light and sallow green from the luminescent emerald light fixtures. Immediately, the attention of every Slytherin began to gravitate to the large group of outsiders standing in their common room.

"Who the fuck—," one of them started.

"Shut up!" Kylar demanded. "Where in the bloody fuck is Malfoy?"

"Get the fuck out of here!" Edgar Zabini yelled.

"Answer the goddamned question!" Kylar pulled out his wand. Subsequently, the Slytherins and the Gryffindors took theirs out as well.

"It's none of your fucking business where anyone is! How the fuck did you get in here anyways?" Cole shoved their small guide forward. "FUCK! Parkinson! What the hell?"

"We made him, asshole! Now, where is Malfoy?" Jericho replied.

"Fuck off!" Zabini exclaimed. "EXPELLIARMUS!" Jericho's wand flew out his hand. In the blink of an eye, Melanie Greengrass was next to Edgar, curses were flying, and lights were flashing.

"Professor… please! I just… I need to see him. He— needs me! He's been— everything— just, please!"

"Black, I'm sorry. You can't. You are in too much trouble for me to let you go gallivanting off."

"Who says he's even gonna want to see you?" Peter asked. "Sirius, I don't want you to think that just because this happens that Remus will forget why he was alone in the first place."

Slowly and angrily, Sirius turned toward Wormtail and moved their faces close together. "Don't act like I don't fucking know that!"

James stood quickly moving between the two and pushing them apart. "How about we act like gentlemen!"

"Shut up, Jamie!" Sirius bellowed.

"Sit down and be quiet!" McGonagall ordered.

Silence fell. The boys sat. Sirius, pathetically, began to cry once more. To him, this was becoming more real. He had failed. He could not protect Remus.
