"Hello, my dear." -Golden Freddy/Rose Evens

"Hello? Hello?" -Phone Guy

'Dear Harry...' -Writing

Theodore looked up from where he had been talking to a damaged wolf animatronic as Opal ran in looking frightened. "Opal? What's wrong?"

Whimpering, she looked back out in the hallway. "Sh-she's out and about again!"

Despite the vague answer, there was actually no need for her to actually state who "She" was as Theodore was already running for the door. "LIZ! GET BACK HERE NOW BEFORE SHE CATCHES YOU!" He stood there for almost a minute before a cat-like animatronic ran pelmal through the halls before she leapt into the room. And not a moment too soon as Theodore slammed the shutters down and quickly jammed a hunk of rebar through some holes to hold it in place. Slowly, he backed up. "There... that should keep her out..."

A whine came from the disabled wolf animatronic in the corner. "A-are you sure, big brother?"

With a grimace, he looked at the vents. "Opal? Liz? Block those damn vents now!"

The two worked together to move the heavy crates in front of one of the vents as Liz, her costume's fur dull and matted, glanced toward the large form of Theodore. "What about Jace and Elric? They're still out there somewhere and She might catch them..."

Sighing, Theodore swallowed thickly. "Hopefully they has managed to find himself a bolthole... there's not much that we can do and I am not sending either of you out there while she's out and about..."

It was just then that a moan echoed from nearby and the group turned to see what looked like reddish-yellow Foxy with baleful eyes step into view as. "Hee hee hee *Keeesh!*... hello children, won't you come out and *Kessh!* play with my little Eric... he's ever so *Keesh!* lonely... Kehee hee..." It twitched for about a minute before it turned to the bundle in it's arms and bounced it. "Shhh... shhh... it's okay, Eric... mommy's *Keeesh!* 'Ere..."

To the animatronic's disgust, the bouncing caused what looked like a rotting arm full of bits of metal to fall out. Twitching madly for a moment, the animatronic outside the window gently tucked it back into the ratty blanket, revealing a child's skull for a moment. "Shhh... shhhh. Hush little baby, don't say a word... momma's going to buy you a moc*Keesh!*ing bird... If that Mocking b*Keesh!* don't sing, momma's going to buy you a" Suddenly she started to shake again before she screamed and looked around wildly. "ERIC?! ERIC?! WHERE ARE YOU ERIC?! MOMMY WANTS YOU!" The being then seemingly noticed the other animatronics through the glass and with a screech, slammed into the glass as she dropped the bundle. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ERIC?! WHERE IS MY BABY!? BABY!? GET AWAY FROM MY BABY! ARE YOU IN THERE-"

Bolts of electricty shot through her as she twitched and spasmed before she slumped a bit. After a moment, she blinked and picked up the bundle as she trundled off. "Oh Eric, what are you doing on the fl*Keeesh!*? It's nearly time for you*Keeeeesh!* party! Freddy will be there! Oh, Mommy has your pacifier right here." It then pulled out what looked like a human leg bone, still red and shoved it into the skull's mouth. "There we go... Rock a bye baby, in the tree tops..."

Insane giggles and high pitched singing slowly faded away with distance as inside the room, Opal shuddered. "I don't know if I should pity whoever she is, or just wish that she was destroyed."

With a frown, Theodore shook his head. "It would be best if we just destroy her... let her and her son rest in peace... If we could get close without being attacked..."

In the corner where she laid, Jessy gulped. "Still, she's fucking nuts!"

An image flashed through all their minds of when they found the destroyed child's coffin in a room and shuddered before Liz shook it off. "No argument here... she fucking went to a graveyard and dug up either her kid or someone else's and thinks that he's alive and talks to her..." Rubbing her arms, she glanced around. "Not to mention killing people who stumble in here and adding bits of them to him to make him happy... Or bring him back depending on what part of her is thinking..."

Opal gagged a bit. "Please don't remind me... at least she's becoming comatose more and more often... maybe in a year or two she won't wake up..."

While he shook his head, Theodore glanced over at her. "We should be only so lucky." There was another scream of pure, insane rage that echoed through the hallways as she started screaming for her baby and telling him she was sorry. "Really so lucky..." He shuddered a bit before he turned. "Hopefully though she'll go back to her room and we'll block it off again... somehow."

Grunting, Liz sat on a busted table that was used in the barricade. "We've already shoved as much as we can in front of that entry, she still gets through."

All Theodore did though was shrug as a nursery rhyme drifted past them. Suddenly, there was a bang which caused them all to jump and they looked to see that the crazed animatronic had returned and flung herself against the door as she scratched, clawed and bit like a possessed animal before she stilled and then picked up the bundle as she walked off. "Momma's little boy is such a good boy... I'm a little tea pot, short and stout. Here is my handle and here is my... ERIC?! ERIC BABY, WHERE ARE YOU?! MOMMA'S SORRY! SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU!? COME BACK TO MOMMA BABY!

Having whimpered, Jessy sniffled. 'Please come soon, dawn... please come soon so that she'll leave...'

Opening the door, Harry raised an eyebrow at how Erika's car screeched to a halt before said young woman leapt from the car. A moment later, she opened the passenger side door and a child sized animatronic otter hopped out and took her hand. It was only after Erika had entered the pizzeria that Harry cleared his throat as he saw a van pull up as well as Michelle's car. "So... What's going on?"

Erika looked around and took a deep, calming breath. "Let's wait until the others get in here... Please." Intrigued, Harry nodded and once they all sat down with the Fazbear Gang, Erika ran her hand through her hair. "Guys? I want to introduce Olive Otterly Perks."

Both the fact of how the animatronic's smile brightened at that and how Erika had referred to her as caused more then one eyebrow to raise. Coughing into his fist, Harry gave Olive a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Olive." He then tilted his head some. "I thought her name was just Otterly though?"

All Erika did though was raise a hand. "Before I answer that... Freddy? Do you guys... sense anything about her?"

That caused them all to straighten before Freddy frowned as he looked at the nervous otter. After a moment, his eyes widened some and he nodded. "Why yes, I am sensing that she's like us..." Freddy's eyebrows furrowed as he shot Erika a look. "How?"

Within the tone of the voice was a threat which Erika recognized and nodded at. "Well... At least I know for sure now..." Sighing, she picked up Olive and set her in her lap. "Like I told you, I had found her exoskeleton in an old, abandoned diner and took it home to rebuild for my school project. The diner's name was FredBear's-"

She was cut off by Rose who stiffened some. "FredBear's? You're certain that was what it was called?" At her nod, Rose sighed and rubbed her face with one paw. "FredBear's Diner was actually where the Fazbear gang played until it closed down and they eventually reopened it elsewhere as the first Freddy's. From memory, it was also where he Marionette originally was as he had a puppet show he oversaw." Having noticed their looks, Rose shrugged. "Overheard mum and dad talking about it once."

Her eyes now gentle, Chica looked at Olive. "And if the Marionette was there, then we can guess what happened..."

Grimacing, Erika shook her head. "More then you know since the person who killed her wore purple clothing..."

Once more, everyone stiffened and the Fazbear Gang, along with the surprisingly Harry, growled as their eyes turned black with a white dot for a pupil. Gripping the table's edge, Freddy nearly broke it. "That utter bloody-" A hand on his arm from Michelle caused him to stop and when she gestured with her head, he noticed that the Toys and Olive looked frightened alongside Lisa and Erika. With a sigh, he calmed and tipped his hat to them. "My apologies... It's just that man brings out the worst in us since he was the one who killed us."

Harry rubbed his eyebrows as his eyes went back to normal and sighed. "Erika? Are you certain...?"

However, she nodded with a sigh of her own. "Pretty much, what she told me matches what you guys told me, anyways..."

Uncomfortable some, Bonnie cleared his throat and turned toward Olive who was now back to examining her surroundings curiously. "So... Olive?" That caught the little animatronic's attention and she turned toward Bonnie. "Would you mind telling us how old you are? And how you're feeling?"

With a smile from where she sat on Erika's lap, Olive held up a paw with four claws and a grin. "I'm four! And I'm feeling good because Mommy helped me!"

As her eyebrow raised, Lisa looked toward the embarrassed Erika. "'Mommy', huh?"

Nodding rapidly, Olive let herself be moved off of Erika's lap by said woman and sat down next to her. "Yup! She's my new mommy!" With a sigh, she leaned against Erika who just slipped a arm around her shoulders. "She fixed me and made all my ouchies go away, just like I've been told a mommy does! So... she must be my mommy then and she agreed."

Highly amused, Michelle nodded with a slight grin as Erika reddened. "Oh, I see then. That makes sense..."

Shooting her friend a look, Erika leaned down and smiled at Olive. "Honey? Do you want to go exploring?" The otter's eyes widened as she nodded and her tail wagged from side to side. "Okay then, you can go ahead, just stay in the building, okay?"

With a laugh, Olive hugged her around the waist. "Thank you, mommy!"

And with that, she took off, and was soon joined by Robbie. Once she was a distance away, Erika's smile became a frown. "You guys understand why I told you as soon as I could, right?" At their raised eyebrows, she rubbed one finger against the side of her head. "Guys, she was left at the old FredBear's Diner. I saw that there was a few endoskeletons that could not really be moved with her being the most complete. And if there was one there with a child's ghost..."

While he sucked in a breath, the pieces fell into place. "And where there was one, there might be others at the different locations!" A nod from Erika caused him to get up. "One second, there's something that I remember... just wait here." He walked to the office and soon after, returned with a folder and some tapes as well as a tape player. "Found the tapes in the security office in a locked drawer and the folder talks about some other locations, including the old founder's home which is used as a storage area for animatronics parts..."

Michelle frowned as she looked over one of the tapes before she opened the tape player. "Well, let's hear them then and look over the papers..."

As he nodded, Harry pressed play on the cassette player and heard a familiar voice. "Uh, hello, hello-hello? Uh, welcome to your new career as a performer/entertainer for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Uh, these tapes will provide you with much needed information on how to handle/climb into/climb out of mascot costumes. Right now we have two specially designed suits that double as both animatronics and suits, so please pay close attention while learning how to operate these suits, as accidents/injury/death/irreparable and grotesque maiming can occur..."

Her face one of disbelief, Lisa pointed at the cassette player. "I... is that some kind of joke!? Did he just freaking seriously say that!?"

What she did not notice was how the Fazbear Gang and Harry narrowed their eyes before Rose slowly brought up her paw and placed it onto her costume. 'A wearable suit...'

It didn't get much better and the second tape caused Lisa to stand up and shout as she waved her hands in the air. "WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! DID HE JUST TELL PEOPLE THAT IF THEY'RE DYING, TO GET OUT OF SIGHT SO CUSTOMERS WOULD NOT SEE THE BLOOD!? SERIOUSLY?!"

Meanwhile, Michelle just rubbed her eyebrow in annoyance. "Oh, yeah... I am starting to see why dad says he hates Phone Guy so much..."

Having gone through the tapes, Harry brought out a list and put it in front of the group. "Anyways.. this is the locations of the various Fazbear restaurants."

Lisa took it and examined it before she grabbed a map. "Okay... according to this, there's a number of them amazingly enough, though it lists a few as having closed..." Popping off the top of a pen, she began making circles. "Now... according to this, the closest place is FredBear's a few towns over. Then, we have two Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, one in Greater London, and another in close to... Cokesworth in Northamptonshire, which was the one that closed down and reopened here as the pizzeria."

Frowning, Michelle took a pen and marked down on another section of the map. "There's apparently a storage depot for animatronics from Fazbear's here as well according to the maps..."

With a frown, Foxy got up and leaned over to get a better look as he flipped his eyepatch up. "Arrr... Which one we be hitting first then, Mateys? Tha' be the question..."

For a few moments, Harry was quiet before he tapped where FredBear's was. "I think that this would be easiest. It's not too far away, though I might have Remus and Sirius check it out."

As she frowned herself, Erika tapped a pen against her lips before she then tapped it against the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in . "I think that the best bet might be to hit the one in the Midlands first and see what is there since we have a few here who would know their way around. Meanwhile... Lisa? Can you try and find out about the one in London? Let us know how big and the layout?"

Nodding, Lisa did so. "That I can do..." She then frowned a bit as she looked at the one in Northamptonshire and then around them. "I wonder why they moved it so far?"

Chica was the one who answered as she thought it over. "They wanted to move as far away from the source of the rumors as possible so they came here. It helped some, not much, but some anyways."

From where he sat, Freddy nodded. "It was just enough to keep us open all these extra years." Scratching under his chin, he frowned at Harry. "So how are you going to do this, then?"

Humming, Harry tilted his head. "Well... I will have to let the local police station know that we'll be entering the building so that they don't mistake us for burglars or vandals. Other then that... I think it would be a good idea if whoever goes brings along some animatronic backup just in case a fight happens. After all, none of us can use magic to fight back."

With a grin, Bonnie smacked one closed fist into his open paw. "Heh, I don't see a problem with that."

Another glance at the list caused Lisa to frown. "There's a few other sites, it doesn't say if they're open or not. If they are, we can let them know that there's new ownership if they don't already know. If they're closed, then we can investigate." The pen in her fingers twirled around. "A lot of work, honestly... but, I think that we can manage."

Erika gave a glance to where Olive and Robbie were playing tag before she turned back and grimaced. "And if nothing else, we'll get some spare parts if we don't find anymore... unique animatronics..."

There were nods and sounds of agreement from the others.

With an explosive sigh, Harry leaned back into his chair. "Okay... With that decided upon at least, there's one last thing to do." The others all gave him curious looks as he got up and started toward where the office was. "If you'll excuse me..."

Having raised an eyebrow, Michelle and the others got up and followed him. They noticed him duck into his office to grab a notepad and a pen before he went outside. Clearing her throat, Michelle gave him a bit of a look. "So... What exactly are you doing?"

Harry glanced over at her as he set the notepad down on the hood of Michelle's car. "I'm going to write a letter for Remus and Sirius to ask if they could check out FredBear's and when."

As she nodded, Erika scratched her chin. "Sounds good... do they know about us, by the way?"

Starting to write, Harry frowned a bit. "They know that I hired you to take care of Freddy and the others, Erika. But they don't know about either Lisa or Michelle..." A thought then occurred to her. "Why?"

Sheepish, Erika raised a finger. "Well... you've told us about them already. So... if they're going back to FredBear's to check it out, maybe I could come so that I can identify things?" Her tone then turned dry. "My experiences with wizards and witches is that they have issues with anything that's not magical in nature."

A soft snort escaped from Harry before he smiled. "Sure, I can do that."

Michelle raised an eyebrow as she watched the animatronics wander around the darkened parking lot with their night vision mode on. 'Those eyes are so creepy...' She then turned to Harry and coughed. "So... why write it now? You won't get to mail it until morning anyways."

Slowly, Harry smirked before he looked over at the animatronics. "Would one of you mind holding one of your arms out straight?"

Blinking, Rebecca did so. "Like this?" Not even a moment later, she felt a weight settle on it and looked over with surprise on her face at the snowy owl that now perched on her arm. "Uh-uh, Harry? Th-there's an owl on m-my arm!"

While he chuckled, Harry nodded. "Yes, that would be Hedwig."

Just as she was about to say something, Rebecca noticed that Hedwig was slowly moving sideways up her arm and leaned her head away. "Sh-she's crawling up my arm!"

As she chuckled, Chica walked over and cooed at Hedwig. "Don't worry, Hedwig is a lovely and kind bird, aren't you?" Hedwig gave her a stare and then barked. "Don't worry, I'll go and get you some nice bacon bits, just you wait here..."

Staring, Michelle noticed that Hedwig had reached Rebecca's shoulders as Chica walked back into the pizzeria and had begun to nuzzle the surprised rabbit animatronic. "Why... do you have an owl?"

Now highly amused at what she is seeing, Erika chuckled. "Wizards and witches use owls to deliver mail and newspapers."

Gulping, Rebecca looked over at Harry slightly nervous. "Wh-what should I do?"

Harry glanced back at her and smiled. "Gently rub her chest, she likes that. And if she gives you a small nibble, that means that she really likes you."

With a nervous look, Rebecca brought up her paw and gently brought up her finger which rubbed Hedwig's chest. "He-hey there, Hedwig..." The owl looked over at her and nibbled her finger before she closed her eyes in enjoyment. Rebecca just stared at her in awe. "She's so beautiful and likes me..."

The other Toy animatronics as well as Olive walked up to watch Hedwig, with Andrew and Chelsie also giving her some strokes which Hedwig preened under. Seeing this, Harry shook his head. 'She's going to get as spoiled by them as she does Freddy and the others."

It was then that Chica walked out with a newspaper held in her hands with bacon bits on it. "Oh, good, you're still here!" She then held it out. "Okay, everyone, take one piece at a time to feed her, she really likes bacon!"

Lisa raised an eyebrow as even Michelle joined in feeding the owl. "She's going to get fat..."

A moment later, Hedwig gave her a glare after having taken a piece of bacon from Olive as Rebecca had crouched down to give her access. Having seen that, Harry laughed. "She does way too much flying to get fat. Besides, it's a treat that she likes."

While she gave a nervous chuckle, Lisa looked around before she walked over. "I'll... just give her some bacon... maybe she'll stop glaring at me..."

Several minutes later, Harry tied the letter to Hedwig's foot and held up his finger which she nipped. "Get that to Sirius, okay girl?" With a bob of her head, Hedwig nodded before she spread her wings and took off as the animatronics waved at her. As the owl vanished into the darkness, Rebecca gave a small squee. "That was so amazing!"

Thoughtful, Freddy rubbed the bottom of his chin as Chica pulled out some sanitizer wipes and began cleaning hers and the other animatronic's hands. "Now that is done, what shall we do for the rest of the night?"

Bonnie grimaced a bit at how hard Chica was rubbing the wipe across his hand as well as the thought that had occurred to him. "Well... there's more paperwork to go through..."

However, he relaxed some as Lisa shook her head. "I'll handle that rather then what happened the other night to happen again."

As he leaned back against Michelle's car, Harry frowned some in thought. "Actually, I want to find wherever the sealed rooms are."

With a raised eyebrow, Foxy grunted some as he ran a wipe across the top of his hook. "An' how do yeh expect to find said sealed room, hmm? I be the first one to be fer a treasure hunt, matey, but if they be sealed then they also be hard to find, arrr."

All Harry did was grin a bit. "Well... if they just put up a wall, then all we need to do is find a space behind the walls. Tapping or knocking against the wall should let us know where they are."

There was a moment of silence before Foxy thrust his hook into the air. "Arrr! Yeh be hearing that me hearties? 'Tis time fer a treasure hunt!"

He then rushed followed by most of the others as Chica called out. "I'll make a pizza for when we're hungry!"

After they had all left for the inside, Rose walked up to where Harry was still leaning against the car, staring up at the night sky. She then sat down beside him and stared up as well for several seconds before she spoke. "Harry? You do realize what event likely caused them to seal up the rooms in the first place, right?"

Crossing his arms, Harry nodded as his expression turned grave. "Yeah... it was likely the murders, and your suit is a spring suit, Aunt Rose."

Rose only nodded as she sighed into the air. "Is there any particular reason for you wanting to find them?"

For several moments, all was silent before Harry grimaced a bit. "I have this gut feeling that we're going to need to know where it is..."

The door to the bedroom was slammed open violently and a fifteen year old girl poked her head in and scoffed. "Wake up, Erika!"

Said girl sat up in bed with a bad case of bedhead and glared at the girl who now leaned against the side of the door chewing an apple. "What the hell is your problem, Sally-Ann? I've been pulling late nights and busting my ass and you know it."

With a scowl, Sally-Ann snorted. "Yeah, yeah, probably clubbing or something." She ignored the growl as she took another bite from her apple. "Anyways, it's time for you to wake up..." The teen trailed off as she saw Olive sit up in the bed and look at her. "You're actually have that in your bed as well?!"

Erika glanced at the saddened Olive and then gave Sally-Ann a glare that caused the younger girl to flinch. "She, not an it, a she." One finger then gestured at her. "And you should be more respectful of me since I'll be paying your Hogwarts tuition past Fifth Year, or have you forgotten that your parents won't pay past then? And if no one comes forward then you're out of Hogwarts once you finish your OWLs?"

That earned her another scoff though there was an air of unease. "With what money? You don't make enough for the exchange rate."

All she got though was a smirk. "I got a job involving animatronics from a muggle raised wizard. Guy is willing to pay in half muggle and half wizard money once I asked."

Confused, Sally-Ann shrugged it off and turned away. "Eh, good for you I guess. Anyways... I'm heading out, so I'll catch you later."

After the sounds of her footsteps faded away, Erika slumped back into bed as Olive looked down at her curiously. "Sometimes, that brat gets to me... Though I know she acts like that because she's worried." One eye turned toward Olive before she reached out and grabbed the surprised animatronic and began to tickle her with a grin. "Unlike you, honey!"

Kicking her little feet, Olive squirmed to try and get away. "Noooo! Mommy, stop it!"

For a moment, Erika paused as if in thought before she grinned and began to tickle her with both hands. "Nope! Get ready for Erika the Tickle Monster!" Once they were finished, a giggling Erika laid back as Olive was slumped against her. "Well, that got me in a better mood."

Pouting, Olive looked away. "That was mean, mommy."

While she squeed at how cute the otter animatronic looked inwardly, Erika leaned across and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Don't be like that." She then glanced at her clock and sighed as she started to get out of bed. "Looks like it's nearly time to get up, as is."

Having tilted her head, Olive was about to ask why when the robotic cat on the alarm next to her opened it's eyes and let out a yowl as it got up. A moment later it was walking around still yowling which caused Olive to clap her paws against her ears. "Make it stop, mommy!"

Wincing herself, Erika grabbed it and pressed a button on the back of it's head which silenced it. Then she put it back on the alarm clock with a sigh. "Yeah... Sorry about that, Olive. Mommy's alarm clock is one of the new models to help her wake up."

Erika had to bite her lip though as Olive reached over and poked the cat and jerked her claw away. She then looked up and pouted. "I don't like it."

With a giggle, the young woman only nodded. "Neither does mommy, Olive, but it helps her wake up." Reaching down, she swept up the small animatronic into her arms having thrown on a housecoat. "Anyways, today will be a bit busy."

Laying her head against Erika's chest, Olive sighed as she could hear the heartbeat of her caretaker. "Really, mommy? What are we doing today?"

Still heading out, Erika tapped Olive on the nose which caused her to go crosseyed. "Well, today you're coming with mommy to school! Mommy's special school project was rebuilding you so she has to show you to her class."

A slight whimper escaped from Olive as the idea of being stared at brought back bad memories regarding her time in FredBear's as part of a puppet show. "I'm scared..."

Her expression saddened, Erika bounced her some in her arms and kissed her brow. "Mommy won't let anything bad happen to you, honey. In fact, mommy knows that her classmates will love her little one for sure."

As they passed Michelle's room, neither of them noticed an eye peaking out at them. 'You really do make for a great mom, Erika...'

Grunting, Remus threw his weight against a door which shuddered before it finally opened enough for him to squeeze through followed by a large dog. Once they were inside, the dog transformed into Sirius who lit his wand and looked around the old and decaying diner which he gave a low whistle to. "And I thought that Grimmauld was a bit creepy and dark..."

Beside him, Remus turned on the large flashlight and shined it around. "Well, considering the history of the place..." A wince passed over his face and he reached up to rub his shoulder. "I wonder how that Erika girl managed to get in..."

In reply, Sirius shined his light over toward a window which showed some boards missing, just enough for someone to have crawled in. "I think that's how..." The wizard then reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box which he enlarged to a properly sized trunk. He then winkled his nose some and with a wave of his wand, cleaned the area before he cast a bubble head charm on himself and Remus. "There... much better."

Remus gave him a suffering look before he started to walk around the small area. "We're in a muggle area, so if you could keep the amount of magic down? That was part of the deal for Albus to let you come. No undue attention and keeping out of sight."

With a grimace, Sirius walked over to a door and then kicked it, the rotting wood easily having given way. "I know, I know... but can you really blame me? This is the first mission that I have been on for a while. Finally, I'm doing something! And it being for Harry is a bonus..."

Having given him a look, Remus sighed as he walked over to a closet and busted it down before he looked inside. 'He was getting a bit stir crazy... this should help.' A sound caused him to turn toward Sirius. "Hmm? What was that, Padfoot?"

As he rolled his eyes, Sirius leaned against the wall with a slight grin. "I asked you if you think that there is anything going on between Harry and this Erika person?"

Shifting around some of the decaying crates inside, Remus grimaced at the rat that scurried out before it was killed by Sirius with a wave of his wand. "No, not between Erika anyways."

The tone in his voice caused Sirius to raise his eyebrow in askance at that. "You know something, Moony?"

His fellow Marauder turned slightly and gave a grin before he left the closet. "Harry may think that he's being secretive and smart, but I have been his guard for a bit at the pizzeria... Turns out that Erika is not that only one who knows about the animatronics and he has been hanging out with."

Now that really caused Sirius to perk up. "Really now..."

While he clapped his hands, Remus chuckled. "Turns out there's two other muggles there who Harry somehow let in on the secret, one of which is a girl called Michelle. And let me put it this way, she has a figure that any witch would be more then jealous over." Seeing that Sirius was about to say something, Remus held up a hand before he shook his head. "I'll try to sneak you out when I can so that you can see her. Though Harry and her are really in denial over it, I can tell there's something there..."

A grin spread over Sirius' face as he walked through the door and followed into the diner fully. "Let's give it a few months and if nothing has happened, then we make our moves to get them together..." The grin then faded some. "If there's anyone who deserves some happiness, it's Harry. And if it's with a muggle? Then all the power to him and may whoever be against it keep silent or else."

The werewolf nodded with a similar expression on his face. "Agreed." It was then that he spotted something and frowned. "Is that something over there?"

Sirius turned and then frowned before he walked over and looked down at the ground before he picked it up. Doing so revealed what looked like a falling apart metal human skeleton, one that missed the head. "Well... seems that we found the first one..." Shining his lit wand on it, he grimaced some. "Pretty rusted though..."

Walking past, Remus grabbed something else and picked it up with a frown. He turned around what looked like a skeletal bird made out of metal. To his slight disgust though, there was some small bones inside it. "I think that there's more here then we thought..." He shined his flashlight around at the shadows of the room and shivered some. "I only hope that there's just animals here.."

As he put the partial endoskeleton into the trunk, Sirius nodded. "Agreed..."

Once they went through the main area of the old diner, Remus and Sirius broke open the basement door and walked downstairs. After they reached the bottom, Sirius looked around and gave a low whistle. "Okay... This place is creepier then the upstairs..."

As he walked past him, Remus could only nod his head in agreement as he glanced at the boxes and old furniture piled up in various spots. "No argument from me..." He then frowned a bit and hummed. "I wonder if Harry would let me take any of these..."

That caused Sirius to give his old friend an odd look. "Really? That's what you're wondering?"

However, Remus just shrugged. "Fifties era items are hot on the market and a bit of magic and some good old TLC can make them look new. If Harry lets me have them, then I could make a tidy profit." At the strange look, he waved a hand around as his eyes caught sight of something. "I've had to find work wherever I can, Padfoot. Selling furniture and other items after they have been fixed brings in a surprisingly nice amount of money."

Slowly, Sirius blinked in confusion. "Okay..." It was then that he noticed that Remus was waving his wand over something. "Got something there, Moony?"

With a frown, Moony opened the book and started to flip through it. "This? It's a notebook actually. And looking through it, it talks about the various characters that were being worked on... Like that bird? It's name is... Right, Polly." Both him and Sirius shared a look. "He built it because the trained parrot he was using was getting up there in age. Though according to this, soon after he built Polly, the parrot vanished."

Remembering the bones, Sirius sighed and rubbed his brow. "And judging by the bones, we can guess what happened to it." He then reached over and turned some pages and stopped. "What the heck is that?"

A similar frown to his friend's was on Moony's face as he leaned down. "Hmm... Laika the Space Dog? According to this, it was named after a real dog that the Soviets sent into space and died? Though... It seems that this 'Fazbach' person was quite angry over what happened but wanted to honour her with an animatronic?"

The shadows behind them moved slightly as Sirius scratched his head. "Huh... A space dog? Why would you send a dog into space?"

All Moony did was shrug a bit. "I honestly don't have a clue..." Suddenly, a sigh escaped him. "I wish they Lily was here, then we could ask her."

Behind them, a shadowy figure slowly slunked over toward them as Remus looked down. "Seems that while she was never an actual attraction, Fazbach still had her activated right up until they closed down the diner. Though he notes that she was a bit... Odd."

His interest spiking, Sirius looked over at Remus. "Oh? How was she odd?"

With a frown, Moony looked over the pages. "Laika when he first activated her was normal, but a few days later started to act like a normal dog, so he kept her out of sight. Over the next couple of years though, she slowly changed and seemed to go back to what she had been..."

Both wizards stilled for a moment before they whipped around. There, behind them was a large endoskeleton that watched them curiously as a tail swept from side to side. From it's frame hung a few ragged pieces of costume which looked like a strange suit with a broken glass helmet. Sirius was the one who spotted something in the machinery of the endoskeleton. "Moony... Slowly, look right there in the chest? See that jawbone? That's not human, is it?"

Careful not to startle the animatronic, Remus waved his wand and shook his head. "No... It's a dog's jawbone..."

Nodding, Sirius took a deep breath. "Out of curiosity, what do you think would happen if a animal's spirit possessed one of these?"

That question threw Moony for a loop before he figured out what he meant and frowned. "I... Suppose that with how smart the animatronics are normally from what I have been told, that the animal spirit might become much smarter over time... Possibly human level..."

As the endoskeleton walked up close to better examine him, Sirius only nodded. "Ah... I see..."
