Miss Greyback is furious. Furious at how Ramona left the fight. Furious at her cowardice. Miss Greyback keeps Ramona at arms length with regards to information that will be damaging to the pack. This cowardice of Ramona has only proven that she was right in this decision. In her Ire even Lucius isn't immune to a verbal lashing.
Miss Greyback sneers at Ramona, "You just left, when we could have used you. You are so lucky the coven underestimated us and only sent a few soldiers. It's the only thing that is stopping me from tearing you apart. If any Werewolf in my care died ..."
Miss Greyback takes a breath and stops pacing. "I thought you were getting along here ... I thought ... do you hate us that much, do you hate what you are so much that you wanted to put our lives at risk like that."
Ramona doesn't know how this contract is going to continue or how she'll get Galleons to live. Ramona doesn't wish to depend on anyone for Galleons and this is her best option. Her father's offer isn't what she wants. Ramona doesn't want to muggle suburb hop. It ruined her parents finances, it created tension with her mother and father. Ramona wants her father to live freely and not have to keep worrying about her.
"I was literally thrown into a pack of Vampires. I was surrounded by three Vampires. I had to get out, MOONY wanted to get out," counters Ramona with no sign of remorse. Ramona has to stand by her choices, for no one else will.
"Ramona was thrown quite high, I am surprised she was able to stand. She was in the middle of killing a bloodsucker when she was thrown," adds Damon.
Ramona looks to Damon and gives him slight smirk in thanks.
"Which one, the Blond haired one?" asks Miss Greyback, a little hopeful.
Please be the blond one, I've been wanting to get Caius for years.
"Black," answers Ramona with no feeling. Ramona mentally notes the name Caius, a Vampire of interest. Ramona picks up surface thoughts but if Ramona is caught entering a Werewolf's mind that will equal death to her. So Ramona has to be extremely careful while reading surface thoughts off Miss Black's mind. With Damon standing up to Miss Greyback about Ramona's actions Ramona is given the chance to continue to stay.
Dear Sirius,
I'm happy you at least tried. I've been so busy but yes I've missed everyone. I've even missed our pranks ... I can't believe I miss that. There must be something seriously wrong with me.
Ramona.
Rem,
I miss our pranks too, but we both already know there is something seriously wrong with me.
Siri
Dumbledore eyes his Order of Phoenix followers. Tonight their meeting is taking place in a unmarked Potter's estate, but not the Potter's ancestral manor.
"Welcome, please take a seat so we can begin this meeting," announces Dumbledore.
Ramona takes a seat and tries to hide her discomfort. Ever since Ramona entered the meeting hall she has been getting suspicious looks thrown her way.
"We have been attacked, Voldemort has made a move on the ministry. The ministry is slowing being infiltrated by Voldemort's followers. Mr Weasley, you may speak to the group now," announces Dumbledore to the room. The room gets nervous and everyone gets worried for the news that Mr Weasley has to say.
"Yes, it's as Dumbledore has said, we have been attacked. Well in truth I've been attacked. I had the Imperious curse placed on myself."
There is outrage and anger yelled in the room. After Dumbledore yells 'quiet' Mr Weasley looks nervous but continues, "I was able to escape the curse but it was an extremely close call, it could have been the end of my whole family. I have my suspicions on who cast the curse, Sir Lucius Malfoy."
Dumbledore briefly closes his eyes in slight irritation then opens them, after Ramona notices this she can't help but wonder what has annoyed Dumbledore.
"Now Arthur if you are not completely sure you shouldn't accuse anyone. False accusations are a dangerous thing," says Dumbledore.
"I'm sure enough that it was Lucius Malfoy but on who's authority I don't know. I don't wish to outright blame him if I can't actually get a conviction out of the proceedings," counters Mr Weasley.
After a few more announcements and information given Dumbledore then asks Ramona to stay behind.
"With Mr Weasly's attack I was wondering if I can ask you to find out any links between the attack and Lucius. Is this something you are willing to do for me?"
Ramona's eyes widen in slight shock, Dumledore asks her this in a way that suggests she has a choice. When in reality she knows she has none when it comes with dealing with the Headmaster.
"I doubt anything will come of it. We don't braid each others hair and tell each other our secrets," answers Ramona, quite sarcastically.
Dumbledore raises his eyebrow in surprise because no one gives such blatant disrespect to him, "Do what you can, obviously don't give away that you are working for me."
I don't work for you, I'm not even officially a part of the order. These bitter thoughts run through Ramona's head and she puts her mental shield up to hide what she is truly thinking.
