Ramona can't help but feel stuck, stuck looking into the eyes of her longest best friend. After scowling though Ramona then looks away. Moony starts yelling profanities and gets extremely angry.

Hit, strike, enemy. MOONY RELAX.

Ramona rubs her temples to try and stop the headache that is sure to come. Severus grabs Ramona's shoulders because it seems to him that Ramona is about to fall down.

"You OK Ramona?" asks Severus worried. Severus leads Ramona to a seat then goes to get a drink. Sirius seeing an opening sits next to Ramona to talk.

"Rem, how have you been? I've missed you."

"Well Moony doesn't miss you. Sirius, I ... I didn't know. I shouldn't have come. It's hard for me, everything lately has just been so hard."

After Severus places a water on the table next to Ramona he then leaves and mingles with other guests, slightly pleased of the distance Ramona is putting between her and Sirius.

"Shouldn't have come? It's Prong's engagement party, I, are we no longer even allowed to be in the same room. You never answer any of my letters," says Sirius, sadly.

NO! NO, Ramona darling, you've been making excuses for him for years. He WAS a good friend but not anymore. Please don't fall for it. Moony ... I've already fallen.

"Why would you care what I have to say. Clearly I'm not good enough for you. You have such a mean streak and disregard for anyone you don't approve of. Have you even spoken to your brother, your brother was hurting and alone and you didn't even care about him. Your own flesh and blood and yet he means nothing. Well I don't mean anything to you either, I wouldn't be surprised you stayed friends with me after you found out what I am because you pitied me."

Sirius gets up angrily and leaves for he can't handle such accusations. Ramona decides to mingle and catch up with everyone. Catching up with Pete, Lily and James. Music starts to play so guests slowly move towards the dance floor. Ramona dances but when the music changes to a slow song Ramona decides to sit this one out. Before Ramona can leave the dance floor Severus takes a hold of Ramona's hand.

"Would you care for a dance?" asks Severus softly.

Ramona nods her consent so Severus grabs her waist with his other hand and takes the led around the dance floor. Severus pulls Ramona closer enjoying the feeling of holding and leading Ramona around the dance floor. Ramona smiles enjoying dancing. Severus sees nothing but Ramona's unreadable green eyes and gets lost, Severus hopes that in the future Ramona will be his but it's easy for him to realise that Ramona is not over Sirius and doesn't wish to push unwanted advances towards her.

"Am I boring you?" asks Lucius, Lucius then eyes Ramona to try and read her emotions.

"Feeling insecure in your conversation skills?" replies Ramona mockingly.

Lucius rolls his eyes, "No, I was thinking of giving you a project ... but it involves a lot more of your time. I'm just not sure if I can trust you yet."

A laugh escapes Ramona's lips, "I'm a Wolf, no one trusts me."

"That is not entirely true, Dumbledore trusts you enough. Are you going to try and meet other Wolves and get what Dumbledore wants?"

DANGER! Danger! Danger!

Ramona snorts, "No, I would rather live thanks. NO Werewolf will ever want to meet me. My father stupidly insulted Werewolves so I would not be welcomed at all and I don't blame them. Fenrir was a person he insulted, lets just say he learnt his lesson."

Werewolf near!

Ramona discreetly places her Portkey cuff link into her palm and slowly drags her wand out, as she is doing this she recrosses her legs to distract from the movements.

"Get rid of your beliefs and so called knowledge of what you think Werewolves are like," hisses Lucius softly, warning Ramona. "Please enter we are ready for you," announces Lucius loudly.

As the door opens Ramona feels she is being played and opens her mouth to activate the Portkey ... WAIT ... Werewolf, not enemy. Ramona shuts her mouth and looks more closely to the Women at the door. Long blonde hair with dull blue eyes, she's connected to an alpha.

The lady sneers towards Ramona and takes a seat, "Lucy darling, I'm only here because of you. This Werewolf alpha will do no good with us. I don't know why you insisted this meeting for father will want nothing to do with her."

OH Yes, we're just going to be the best of friends. Ramona, wait. I'm Alpha? Of course you blithering idiot, how else do you think the others are pack members. Moony howls at the stupidity. Ramona sneers.

"I'm not my father ... do not conflate me with him. I'm sorry for wasting your time," answers Ramona. Ramona was going to mention how having the privilege to go to Hogwarts wouldn't endear her to other Wolves but this Lady is sitting in such a combative way her posture almost screams 'insult me, I not only dare you to but welcome it'

The lady scoffs, "Not even going to mention Hogwarts. Good, YOU are never to mention that 'Dumbledore solider recruitment' building in my presence, for I will not tolerate it."

After a conversation a new employee contract is given to Ramona to sign.

"Well I hope the trust Lucy has given you doesn't blow up in our face. Can't exactly say it's been a pleasure but I'm glad we have come to an agreement," says the Lady.

The lady raises her hand for a handshake, "My name is Miss Greyback. You may now understand why I've refused to tell you my name until the contract was signed."

Ramona hides her emotion and shakes Miss Greyback's hand.

Ramona sighs and runs her hand through her hair, "It will never happen Dumbledore, they will never listen to you ... or to me."
