A/N- I Do Not Own Harry Potter

Chapter 4

Remus took the letter from Hedwig and ripped it open, a galleon fell out. His heart leaped when he saw Harry's familiar handwriting.

Dear Moony,

I imagine that mine and Hermione's sudden disappearance has had you worried. First I would like to say that we are both fine and safe. I wish I could tell you more, but somethings you have to see to believe. The enclosed galleon is a portkey, it will take you to the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts. No this is not where I'm staying. Me and Hermione will be there at three tomorrow. I must give you two warnings though. The portkey will only work twice, once to take you to the chamber and once to take you out. And you must come alone. I also ask you a favor, I need a copy of Mum and Dads will from the goblins. Feel free to read it yourself if you can get it. If not, well I'll explain everything when I see you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Harry

P.S. Activate the portkey by saying Marauder.

Remus looked down at the galleon on the floor. Three o'clock tomorrow. And Harry wanted a copy of his parents will.

The werewolf looked at the clock in his room. He had an hour before Gringotts would close it's doors for the day.

He headed downstairs to the fireplace.

Harry sat at the desk in Lily's study, talking with his mother who was resting on the desk's owl perch. Hermione was in the potions lab preparing another batch of the Magical Animagus potion.

"Do you think he'll come?" Harry asked.

Lilly nodded. "Remus is the last true Marauder. You are the only child and godson of his three best friends. He'll show."

"I hope your right. I don't want to have to fight him. He's been like a father to me since I met him. But if he decides to follow Dumbledore, I'll have no choice."

"He won't," Lily assured. "Especially if my research is right."

"That reminds me," Harry said. "Me and Hermione where talking last night. If we really intend to take down Voldemort, and our enemies in the ministry, we're gonna need some help. I don't want mindless followers like Voldemort, but loyal friends. We where thinking about even sharing some of the potion with them. What do you think?"

Lily pondered this for a moment. "I see no problems. However I do ask that you allow me to examine their hearts and minds beforehand."

Harry snorted. "Yes Mum."

"Also I think you and Hermione and any followers you come up with choose another name. You know for comunications and stuff."

"Like dad and the Marauders did?"

Lily nodded. "Now if you don't mind. I'm going to go check on Hermione. I know she's brilliant and brewed the potion flawlessly last time, but I worry."

"You're a mother Mum, it's you job to worry."

Lilly chuckled as she disappeared in a ball of flame.

Harry sat there thinking. What friends did he have that he thought would help him? He definitely wanted Neville's help. He was an expert in Herbology, and he and Hermione had decided that they needed to start growing mandrakes. True Hermione could oversee them, but she had more important things to do. Besides, he could give Neville a vast greenhouse, full of the rarest plants imaginable. He was sure Neville would love that.

There was Ron of course, his first friend. But he didn't know if Ron would stick by him, he had abandoned Harry before. Not to mention he wasn't sure how Ron would react to his and Hermione's relationship.

There was also Ginny and Luna, they had gone into the Ministry with him. Fred and George too, they may not of gone with him too the Ministry, but he was sure they would of if they had been in school. Plus the Twins were geniuses when it came to inventing, they would probably need some new devices if his and Hermione's plans were to succeed. But if they joined the order, after all they were old enough now.

Harry wrote down the name of his friends on a piece of parchment. He'd go over it with Hermione later.

In the meantime, he had a meeting to prepare for.

The next day, Remus held a copy of James and Lily's will. He hadn't read it yet, Harry had the right to read it first. He looked at the clock in his room again, it was almost a quarter to three.

Deciding it would be best if he was early, Remus activated the portkey and felt the tug behind his navel.

Remus landed on his feet in a well lit chamber. He looked around to see several torches lining the walls, illuminating the chamber. Other than the light, the chamber looked just as Harry had described it. He noticed that neither Harry or Hermione appeared to be here yet. He sighed, he had decided to come early after all.

He conjured himself a seat and sat down to wait. Remus began to wonder where they where they where or if this was some kind of sick joke.

Then he saw something long and white moving in the distance. Remus stood and drew his wand, not knowing what he saw. It moved closer, and Remus saw what it was. He could feel his heart rate accelerate. He began to panic when he saw another one, only black coming towards him at the same rate.

Two basilisk where slithering towards the werewolf. One white as snow, the other black as night.

Remus Lupin was afraid. He was scared to the point that he forgot all about the portkey he carried. A single thought crossed the werewolf's mind, "I am going to die."
