Chapter XXXI
After last night's incident and as they were walking down the hall with the boys the next morning, they told them what happened. Everything up to where they heard the queen made mention to meet the king again with her sister.
"Wow so Lily was able to see it too?" James said staring at his girlfriend who nodded as she explain what she saw, "Yeah just like Keller and Mione said and don't give me that look James, they told me already so don't try to act all innocent! I can't believe you hid that from me and I'm your girlfriend."
Keller turn to Sirius who was also a little shocked to hear that the man with the queen had look almost like him, "So what do you suppose this mean, that me and Keller are reincarnations or something?"
"Supposedly something of the sort," Remus said after taking much thought and consideration into it and trying to fit in the pieces but still was not enough to get it all together, "there's a chance that Mione was one too from what you two described but if we can find out more about the two queens that is and who they were, beside being the possible rulers of the 'underworld'."
"There might be information in the restricted section," Lily suggested and Hermione had to agree with her as that would probably be the only way to find out more on them. "We can try that but don't forget we'll need permission from a professor in order to do that."
"Yeah only problem is who do we get it from? Some of the professors will get suspicious if we ask ourselves and McGonagall will probably interrogate us and try to see what we are up to, probably planning to make a mess in the library like last time and almost got banned. Except Remus, she might somewhat trust him but would think we were forcing you old friend, no offense."
"Not taken Prongs, we just need to find a professor who won't ask too many questions or—" But before he could finish, Keller stop in her tracks and said rather quickly interrupted him, "Hang on a sec, I'll see you guys in a jiff!"
And she took off, running down the hall and heading to one of the classroom she was looking for and hoping the professor was there now and not at the Great Hall just yet.
Keller knocked on the door and waiting and heard the light voice coming from behind it, "Come in," Keller stepped in and seeing Professor Valerious closing a drawer away, knowing what she must have been doing before she look up and seeing her there.
"Ms. Corvin, what a pleasant surprise to see you, I was going to head to the Great Hall myself but I was busy grading some last minute papers." She locked the drawer away and then turn to her, "Now what is it that you wanted to see me for?"
"Well professor, I need to go into the restricted section of the library for a report I have to do in Care of Magical Creatures. The books in the library didn't have much on the creature I was working on and wondering if you can give me a signed permission."
"Well of course, I will if this is for your report and for what if I may ask is it you are doing your assignment?"
She knew this might come up and try to think of the first thing that came into her mind, "Dementors, I doing a report on Dementors and hoping to know more about them and their kisses."
Eww, she did not just say that. Not the best choice but it had come into her head and she shuddered as she thought of those disgusting creature. Even the professor seem to have mutual feeling about it as she grimaced and shuddered at the thought of them.
"Oh, dementors, nasty creatures and their kisses are not something I would want to go up against." She pulled out a fresh slip of paper and dipped her eagle quill into the bottle and signed it with her signature.
"Well we'll probably be discussing more on them sooner or later and certain that you will be honor to tell the class what you learn Ms. Corvin."
"Yeah sure no problem, I'll be glad to tell everyone about them." She waited as she handed the slip to her and she couldn't help as she said without thinking, "Thank you once again Cecilia,"
Oops, she realized her mistake and saw her professor looked at her with wide eyes seeming startled that she knew her name, "W-what did you call me?"
"Um, Cecilia, that's musts be what the 'C' stand on your locket. A lucky guess you know! Heh he!" She said too quickly and knowing she didn't believe it and while rushing to the door before the professor could stop her, "Bye professor!" She didn't even turn back as the professor kept staring at where she had been.
She ran as fast as she could, not bothering if anyone got in her way or not and wasn't until she reach the large door and stopping to catch her breath. She taking it easy and trying to calm herself down as best she could and not looking like she ran a marathon even with her cheeks a little flushed. She walked into the Great Hall and heading to where the others were and about to go take her usual seat with the other marauders.
I got it! Sirius and Hermione turn around to see Keller making her way to them and plopping down in her seat.
"You got the permission Kell?" She nodded and holding the slip in her hand before she slipping the note in her pocket and patting her hand down to keep it there and make sure she didn't lose it.
Peter was looking curious and confused wondering what Keller got that seem to grab their attention, "Permission for what?"
Keller tried to think of something as she didn't want to give out too much information then they might have, "For the library, I have some assignment in Astronomy and I needed more information for going to the library for work." Peter looked skeptic at her vague answer but didn't say anything as he went back to finish his bacon. Keller packed her plate with food and ate little before she saw the doors open and Professor Valerious came walking in.
"Eepp!" Keller quickly duck under the table before the professor walked by them and making her way to the staff table and sat down while Sirius peek under looking at her along with Hermione, asking, "Keller why are you doing under there?"
"Um, I dropped my fork?" She smiled sheepishly as she looked to her cousin, I accidentally said the professor's name.
What?! Are you crazy! Do you realize how much trouble you could get yourself!
Yeah don't remind me, now how do I get out of here before she comes looking for me.
Try crawling through the table and race to the doors, and meet us at the library?
Ok… And Hermione waited as she sense her moving slowly although once or twice a few people might have kicked under and she had to resist hitting back before finally making a break for it. Once she was gone and Hermione lift her head from under and seeing everyone's eyes on her and wondering what had been about. Hermione try to pretend that nothing seem off as she looked to James, "Prongs could you pass kippers please?"
"Well that was a close one." Hermione said as they made it to the library after breakfast and Keller waiting for them by the library when she got there. The boys deciding to join them as James had his cloak with him and he, Sirius, Remus and Lily were under the cloak as Pince looked at the slip in hand.
She stared at the two girls suspicious but then said after checking with a counter spell to see if it was forge or not and saw it was genuine, "You may but do not take any books from out of that room! Or dare destroy or mutilate them as they are strictly school property!" They both nodded and they and the marauders slipped into the room. With the door closed, the boys and Lily slipped out from under the cloak.
"Boy that woman gives me the creeps," Sirius said, shuttering. "We don't have much time before our next class, come on. Split up and start searching for anything that has to indicate or cover about 'Vampires or Werewolves or the queens or maybe Alexander Corvinus if we're lucky!"
Everyone did, pulling out books after books, skimming pages and having no luck with that and looking to the next. James and Sirius had both looked at a total of two books for them on the vampires.
"Hmm, says here this vampire, Elizabeth Bathony bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her beauty, eww. Where did she get that crazy idea from?"
Keller lift her head from her book on the legend of werewolves, finding nothing rather than what she already knew, "Actually one of the elders, Amelia was the one who kind of started that, she bathing occasionally in the blood of cattle and…"
Sirius quickly shut the book and looked for another, trying not to listen to anymore on what Keller said. Lily had already looked through three werewolf books for any indication to with no such luck. Neither Remus as he had looked to about five books and Keller and Hermione scanned about a whole dozen with no references to any of the Queens or Corvinus, nothing.
"Well that was a waste of time." Sirius whispered after they had gone to the library and to their class in History of Magic. Binns was droning on, not listening to what other were saying and the rest of the class falling asleep.
Keller was thinking of something. There had to been a book with some history about it. Surely it would have been at Ordoghaz in Budapest maybe, but she couldn't just stroll right in and check it out while the vampires were there along with her future mother.
They probably interrogate her, asking many questions and then most likely kill her. Torture first, ask questions for later.
Ok, if not there then where? She tried to recall something her mother once said, saying there had been a historian for Viktor before he fell out of favor and was exiled.
Wait a minute, that's it! The historian, now if she could just find a way to get there…
She looked outside her window, seeing the stable where the Threstal were and then an idea came to plan.
Mione, Mione. Hermione had been writing notes with Remus on the subject Binns was talking about before hearing Keller, What Kell, what is it?
I know someone who could have the information!
Hermione perked at the mention that there was another source to help them in their quest,Really, Who?
Andreas Tanis, he was the official historian back at the coven my mom lived in. He was kicked out for documenting the truth, which Viktor made everyone believed was nothing but a bunch of lies, the bastard. But since we're here and he's still alive right now. He might know what we're looking for. So all we got to do is—
See him and find out if he knows, he must have published the truth beside about Marcus and William. Brilliant Keller! But how do we exactly get there?
Have you ever ridden a Threstal?
Keller and Hermione reached the barn, quietly as they were moving at the late hours to open the stable and get inside where Keller took Orion out from his stall.
"Shhh…" She placed a finger to her lips, telling Orion to be quiet as they made it outside and told Hermione to get on.
"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Hermione question as she hoist herself and grabbed the thick mane and looked over at Keller as she extract her wings, ready for take off. "Yeah it's in my blood, so I'm sure I know where I'm going." At least I think…
"You think?!" Hermione said as Keller took off without saying a word while Orion reared and followed while Hermione held on for dear life to him. It seem to be hours before she didn't feel the high velocity or the shaking feeling of the ground being hundreds of feet under them.
Hermione had closed her eyes through the whole process, opening once to see Keller up ahead, her wings flapping and gliding before she heard the trampling of hooves on ground and then coming to a complete stop. She opened her eyes to see they were in a valley where an impressive stone structure came into view.
"Whoa…" The thing was shaped liked a monumental Celtic cross, granite crossbeams with breathtaking edifice carved into the craggy hill.
"You can say that again." Keller walked up to the wooden gate and crushed the lock and push it open. "Better leave Orion here, tie him up over there." She point to a tree and Hermione got off and took the rein and did, making sure it was good and tight so that he didn't fly off not like he would and reaching over to Keller's side. Keller turn to her and seeing that they better prepare for they were probably going to go up against something and need to be certain they were arm.
"Hey Hermione, if we do run into trouble, here take this." Keller then handed her something, "You never know when you might need it, and knowing Tanis he might not like the idea of having company drop in uninvited." Hermione reluctantly took the Beretta and held it by her side and sliding her hand over her pocket with her wand just for self-assurance knowing she'll do better with it than a gun would but consider her words and thankful for the gesture.
Have to be careful like Keller said knowing we're heading into someone else's territory and can't be too certain whether he might have a few traps here... She looked around seeing that the place was covered in brown weeds and granite outcropping. She saw a metal sign posted on one of the gateposts with words written in a different language.
"Beware of Dogs, that's what the sign says and I don't think it means Pit bulls or Doberman if you get my drift."
"Yeah I figure as much seeing that might not be the case so let be considered warned then."
"I'm way ahead of you but just to play it safe I'll go first and make sure everything's in the clear ok. You just stay back and see if we should expect a behind attack or what not." And before Hermione could protest, Keller already went to the door, treading with ease to see if there were any surprises and ripped off another padlock. Just as she did, she heard a faint metallic rumbling whose origin she could not immediately place.
But she having an idea that it wasn't going to be any good. Her muscles tensed and senses on edge before she turn around to look behind and seeing nothing but hearing Keller call out, "Mion—" and a trapdoor suddenly opened underneath her feet. Hermione whirled around only to see Keller gone but knowing that was impossible. She couldn't believe that one minute she been there but the next she was gone, doing a Houdini on her.
"KELLER!" She was rushing to where she last seen her cousin standing and finding that she must've fallen in one of those traps she had warn her about.
Bloody hell, what was she going to do, she could use her magic and open then. She went to pull her wand out and hoping to have it give passage wherever Keller had gone, "Alohamor—" But before she could finish the spell she sense another and turning to see an enormous gray lycan come lunging right at her.
"Fuck!" Hermione dove to the other side and tumbling out of the way before the werewolf could get her, slashing with its sharp claws and teeth. She getting back on her feet and saw that there was a forge metal harness covering his head but could see the bloodthirsty intentions behind its' eyes, knowing it was going to try and kill her. Her wand had flew right out of her hand and reaching for the gun that was in her jeans and only to see she didn't have it. She saw it lying under the beast's body where she had been standing.
Shit! Okay she had no wand or gun but she was a hybrid and it was time to show what she got! She started transforming, her skin taking on an iridescent sheen and her eyes jet-black and feeling her toes and fingers turning to claws and her teeth extending to fangs. When it was finish she took the opportunity to strike back and the two beast tumbling together and fighting for dominance using claws and fangs, slashing and biting one another.
She just hoped that Keller was doing better than she was.
"Ow! For the love of the Elder! Forgot mom mention about that!" She said, rubbing her shoulder but luckily still had her gun with her at the time. She looking up to where she fallen from and seeing how it must be sixty feet above and the trap door closed when she got here. If she had been mortal she might have a few broken bones the moment she hit the hard stone but lucky that was not the case. The only thing she probably had was a bruised back and a sore butt but she shouldn't be complaining much anyways.
Well lucky or not, better get moving then, can't just sit here and wait for who knows what to come here, and the trapdoor she could barely see it from below and was a dead end now. The only way seem to be straight ahead of her.
"Ok here I go." She picked herself up and moved around the bend of the tunnel, following the flickering of candlelight that permeated the underground chambers. She stopped when she heard an ominous growl that send her adrenaline racing. She hearing the pounding footsteps of the charging lycan and the growling grew louder as it hurried towards her.
Her gun drawn and waiting until she could see it appear and when she saw it coming for her, she shot multiple times before the werewolf landed at her feet with two shots in the head and three in the chest, directly to the heart. She held the gun to her blow the smoke away from its tip.
Well that's one down, how many more were left. Then she thought of Hermione and realizing she could be very well in danger herself, shit! A lycan or two could be up there now. But before she could think of any way to help she heard another growling and knew she had more worry to worry about. She knew that she would have to worry about her later as she made to reload and keep on going.
Hermione thought she heard something but right now was too busy trying to dodge the lycan as its' swipe at her with its' sharp claws. Her instincts kicking in as she surrendered to the primal compulsion to rend and kill. She growled like an animal unleash from her cage and while angry fuel her attack and the lycan fought back with lightning reflexes. A savage claw smashed into her side and crashing against a large boulder and hit the ground hard. Her head hurt like there was no tomorrow and trying to shake it off while her ears were ringing and small dark spots appeared in front of her vision.
Come on Hermione, focus, you can beat this one! A clattering noise attract her notice and seeing the steel chain connected to the haress and hearing the heavy links rattled along the ground. A plan already in mind and taking into basic attack as she move and jumped, biting down on its' arm hard. The beast yelped as she plummet in it before tumbling to the ground, trying to grab the metal chain and wrap it around its snout. The werewolf try to throw her off its' back and bucking like a wild bronco. She holding onto the chain tightly and wound it around her wrist and holding on for dear life.
Let's see how you like this! She dug one of her claws into his filthy mange that only made the werewolf angrier and tried to bite into his scruffy neck. She was about to use her hybrid strength and send it flying but it stood up on its hind legs and fell backwards, causing Hermione to release both her balance and hit the ground hard and had pulled her claws and teeth out of its pelt.
The werewolf pulled back and Hermione tried to stand as it was running straight towards her. Hermione trying to brace herself but then what caught her off was hearing three familiar voices calling out at once.
"Impedimenta!" The werewolf was throw to the other size by three shots of red light hitting it and sending it stun to the ground. Hermione turn to see Remus, Sirius and James standing there, wands pointed at the lycan. Remus looked to her and wanting to see if she was all right after what happened.
"Mione you ok? Where's Keller?" Before she had a chance to speak the werewolf let out a pitiful whine from its' muzzle and she knew she couldn't allow it to recover and attack them. She lunged for the fallen beast and pounced on its, ignoring its' yelp or vain struggle as she took hold of its neck and gave a good hard twist until the neck was nearly ripped out.
Crack! Bones like snapping twigs and the werewolf stopped moving and soon lay on the ground dead before she got off and glance down at it. She felt a strong guilt for killing one of their kind and wished she hadn't done it and when she look up and saw Remus staring horrified and knowing what she done with her own bare hands.
She didn't know what to say or give him comfort as she try to speak again while reverting to her normal form. "Remus…it was going to try and kill us. I really wish you hadn't seen that…I'm so sorry…" She looking to the ground and probably wonder if he'll have it in his heart to forgive her or even have the chance to say anything to her.
Remus seem to be getting over his initial shock after what he just saw and trying to pull himself together, taking a deep breath and walking over to her, "It's all right, I mean I understand, it's ok now…I know you feel guilty about it but I don't blame you Mione…"
He took her in his arms and holding her before she had the chance to look up at him and unable to find the words but saying his name, "Remus…"
James and Sirius still standing by the side line and were starting to feel a little awkward at this time and before it could go any further and that's when Sirius saw the chain around the dead former werewolf and find it leading from behind the large boulder it came from.
"Um I hate to ruin this wonderful moment but where do you suppose that goes?" She and Remus followed where Sirius was pointing to and seeing that the leash connecting up to where a secret passageway was and she having a guess where it might go.
"Don't know but hopefully it will lead to Keller, she probably down there as she got slipped in by a trapdoor and when that one attacked me before I could open it." Hermione went and picked up the gun and jammed it back into her jeans. She then went searching for her wand and holding it in her hand. She then look back at the trio and wondering what she should do with them. It would probably be best to have them go back to the castle or stay here and be out of harm's way.
"You better not come down there, it won't be safe, you shouldn't be even out here. I suggest you wait here and—" She didn't get the chance to voice her thoughts before she was spun around and then felt Remus' lips pressed against her, silencing her before she finished her words. When he broke the kiss, he looked her straight in the eyes showing the concern for her if she dare go down into dangerous territory and not without him at least to protect her.
"Wherever you go, I'm going with you. Mione I want to protect you because not only are you my mate but I do anything for you. Even risk my life to keep you from getting hurt." She saw he was speaking the truth before turning to the others and wondering what they had to say, "And what about you two? Do you wish to come as well?"
"Hey I'm not leaving my girlfriend to be mauled by one of them." Sirius pointed to the dead corpse and walking cautiously around it with James saying he was going to help as Marauder had to stick together. "Hey this is the first time we did something out of school grounds where we are going to fight off werewolves and rescue a fellow Marauder in distress."
Hermione sighed seeing there was no changing their minds once they set it to them. "All right fine you can come but you better stay close and here, you know how to use this." Remus look at the gun and having little knowledge about muggle weapons and guessing how it could be done nod while she handed him the gun. Remus took it and held it in one hand and his wand in the other. Then all four were heading down the shaft, staying close behind Hermione as they went down the tunnel.
Hang on Kell we're coming!
BAM! BAM! The second werewolf came rushing at her as she fired two more bullets but the gun shot nothing.
Damn out of bullets already. Looks like she have to do it the old fashion way then. She pulled the hunting knife from its sheath and held it in her hand as the beast lunged and she jumped sideways and grabbing it by the fur and onto the beast's back in a heartbeat.
Taking the blade, she thrust it deep in its skull and pulled it out in one fluid motion and felt the beast fall to the floor.
Ok that's two down, now how many did mother said there were.
Elder she hope that Hermione was all right, she should try and find her but first had to make her way out of this catacomb. She using the wall as her guide and seeing in the faint darkness that she was going further in, smelling the fetid stench of the lycans and her senses all aware if any more unexpected surprises came her way. She founded herself in the lycans' lair, counting four chains. She took down two and there were only two left.
Oh boy…She quicken her pace to where she saw the staircase and betting Tanis was up there, probably wondering who was intruding and seeing if his lycans had finished her off yet.
Yeah always send a dog to do your dirty work huh, well you're messing with the wrong kind of bitch Tanis! She smiled smugly. Like mother like daughter, she was certain Tanis would be in the surprise for his life. Her ears perked up when she heard another howl and held her knife in hand firmly and waiting to see if it was to come for her.
Please be all right Hermione.
Hermione and the others made it down the trapdoor and into the murky catacomb. She in the lead with Remus behind and James and Sirius not too far behind as they went in and heading further down the tunnel.
"Ugh, what the bloody hell is that smell?" Sirius whispered, smelling the foul stench while covering his face, holding his nose and trying not to breath in the putrid feral stink. Remus could smell it too, sensing it was his own kin's scent and that there was a den down here and Hermione confirmed it, "We're getting close you guys, better watch yourselves. There could be others there…"
She stopped and sniff the air again and this time hissed when she saw the shadow of a werewolf coming in front of them. She turn and saying to everyone, "Get your wands ready and Sirius I might need your help so you better change." Sirius stared at her like she was crazy in asking him to do such a thing, "Sirius just do it! We'll have a better chance if you help me while James can cast and Remus can shoot or unless you want to be delay further and leave Keller in grave danger."
That got the message through as Sirius did as he was told and quickly transform and the same for Hermione before the werewolf made round the corner to them she and Sirius lunged together and catching the werewolf off guard.
Keller could have sworn she heard her cousin and another beast and hoping that be not the case as she wish she could go and find her safe aboveground. But she highly doubt it and knowing that wasting time worrying wouldn't help and had to keep going. She rushed forward, knife still in hand but her patience slowly being tested and wanting to keep it together or might just lose it. She kept going just as the tunnel tilted sharply down another bend and finding something waiting for her but weren't lycans like she expect. Two women, a redhead and a brunette dressed in nothing but flimsy see-through nightgowns and lacy underwear.
Mom was right, here he has two bimbos but I thought one was suppose to be blond, oh well. Beggars can't be choosers! Despite obvious attire, she learn never to underestimate her opponents. The two vampiress made to attack thinking they outnumbered her two to one.
Big mistake. Keller with all her years of excessive training and fast reflexes, she grabbed the brunette by her hair and thrust the blade in her throat and then throwing the body to the other woman who came running at her.
Before the woman had time to get up, she moved quick and put her foot down hard, crushing the windpipe and the woman join her fallen companion. Keller pulled her foot away and then retracting the blade from the other dead woman and using one of them to clean the blood off. Well now that's been taken care of. Time to—
A bullet slammed into the wall behind her, missing her face by inches. Pulverized stone and plaster pelted her cheek. She spinning around and an intensive beam of light blinded her. Throwing up her hand to shield her eyes, she squint past the harsh white light and not to her own surprise to see Tanis holding a large gun and pointed right at her.
Oh darn it, shouldn't have let her guard down then as she realize he must've snuck up on her when she had been dealing with these two. Tanis kept his gun lock on her, staring with wary eyes at her.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He looked at her for a second before uttering the one word when he took in her face and an odd look came upon him as he said, "Selene?"
"No but it's very well nice to meet you, Andreas Tanis."
Hermione tore the spinal cord out, killing the werewolf instantly while Sirius was holding down the arm with his teeth. Then she heard a bullet shot coming from upstairs.
Shit, Keller! Quickly everyone followed her and Sirius still in his dog form running by her side.
"I ask again, who are you?" The light was annoying but she pretend it didn't bother her, she only stared coldly at his face. His eyes were roaming her up and down, taking in her lithe figure and pale face and didn't seem to mind ogling her chest every now and then.
Take a picture it'll last longer right before I decide to plunk your eyes right out of your fucking sockets and stuff them up your bloody ass.
"You look like someone I know. Even the stench of 'her' with Viktor's blood courses through your veins." The way he said it show how much he had never forgotten or forgiven her mother for exiling him to this remote wasteland and banishing him from the covenant.
Sorry you feel that way, not that she was going to say that to his face or really mean it but hearing him mention Viktor brought anger in her heart.
"Don't you ever mention that bastard!" She growled and he smirked and keeping that smug look on his face while keeping the gun leveled at her. "You don't scare me, you look very much like that bitch and I'm guessing you must be her whelp then! Selene's own child, who would have guess she whored one but who the father could be?"
Keller glared at him and feeling rage build up at the man for saying such things about her mother, "Don't you fucking dare insult my mother you son-of-a-bitch!" She should have kept her mouth shut as he held the gun over her forehead and looking ready to blast her brains out as his finger was on the trigger ready to pull it back, "I shall have a personal enjoyment taking all my frustration out on you before I—"
But before that could even happen and without warning, Hermione and a large dark dog dropped from the ceiling and landing right behind Tanis. "Mione! Sirius!"
"What the—" Tanis spun around only to feel himself slam against the wall by Hermione, her hand at his throat and barely putting pressure but ready to do so at any time. Sirius was growling like mad beside her and baring his teeth at him, almost looking ready to go and bite him. James and Remus who were still above and seeing Keller all right and wave to her as they saw everyone.
"Hey Keller, looks like we came in the nick of time to rescue you huh?" James said while Remus made to jump down and landing on his feet with nimble ease, all part of being a lycan, while not taking his eyes off Tanis.
"Oh sure just leave me up here Moony unlike you guys I can't land on my feet like a cat from this height. Would I be imposing terribly if I were to ask you to provide just a little help—if it's not too much bloody trouble!"
While Remus was busy helping him and Keller who was still a little bit shock over seeing them but thrilled to see everyone alive and in one piece before turning to stare at Tanis knowing she had the upper hand now as they fairly outnumbered him and two were already holding him up pretty damn well. Tanis looking fearful of the hybrid and snarling grim before him and look like he would do anything to get the two to not kill him. Well now that they got his attention, she would need to if in order to get the information out of him one or another.
She grab the gun from the floor and holding it in hand before turning to look at her new prisoner, her friends all surrounding and threatening him, Hermione, Sirius and Remus growling while she walked over to him and having the gun pointed at him though she doubt he'll take any heed of it as right now the odds were against him and was best he cooperated.
"Well looks like my friends and I need to have a little chat with you Tanis if you don't mind?"
