Sebastian nodded, “When you’re ready I’m taking you to Gringotts.”

“What?” Lyall exclaimed as he stared at the poor Auror he randomly chose to vent on. “Not a crime?! They’re dangerous-“
“Did you have a violent encounter with a werewolf? If you did then please say that instead of pretending it’s a hypothetical situation.” The Auror said as if she was truly tired of increasing numbers of fear induced false claims against creatures and she was.
Lyall winced at the Auror’s tone, “No … it’s just hypothetical.”
The Auror raised an eyebrow, “Sure. The answer is simple. Being a creature, such as a werewolf, is not a crime on its own. Now if they aren’t taking proper care in securing themselves during the full moon or they deliberately attack at any time then it’s a crime. Sometimes the proper securing methods and lack of medical attention is as simple as a lack of knowledge or resources. Other times, especially in cases where the werewolf is underage, the guardian could be abusive.” She paused when she noticed the wizard in front of her flinched slightly. “Would you like to schedule a check to make sure your full moon accommodation meets the standards-“
“No!” Lyall said quickly and turned around to leave. The Auror jotted the man’s name down just before Lyall turned back to her as if he remembered something to ask right before he left. “How many times is medical attention required after a full moon?”
“Every time. It’s an incredibly painful thing to go through especially in an improper place to stay. Failure to do so will mean jail time for the abusive guardian.” The Auror said bluntly.
Lyall gagged slightly as if he choked on his own saliva in his shock, “Ok …” he said and quickly left not realizing the Auror was watching him.
The wizard didn’t care about that. Lyall just ran out of the Ministry and wandered around. Every fiber of his being was positive that he was in the right. However, now it seems he could be considered the dangerous abusive guardian! How did that happen?!
“Incredibly painful?” Lyall muttered. He never bothered to look at Remus after a full moon. After locking Remus up in a small reinforced, sound proof room for the transformation, the most he’d do is toss the boy some clothes once everything is done. Were there injuries? Not once has it ever crossed his mind before.

As he and Sebastian sat in a private room in Gringotts, Lucius was slowly starting to question if doing this was a wise idea. Could being an apprentice or being connected to Gringotts potentially piss off the dark lord? Could one of his friend’s get hurt as a result?
“Good to see you again, Lord Prince.” Lucius’ thoughts were interrupted when none other than the goblin known as RazorBlood entered the room and sat down at the desk.”I can’t give out details on anything behind the scenes.”
Sebastian nodded, “I’m well aware. When I asked for you specifically it was to discuss a rather big problem that, according to a friend of mine, you might be able to help with.” He placed a comforting hand on Lucius’ shoulder. “This young man was forced to take the dark mark and some of his friends are trapped in the same situation. My friend, Patty, suggested coming to you because they truly want out of this situation.”
RazorBlood looked at Lucius, “Is this true, Lucius Malfoy?”
“Yes, but …” Lucius tried to collect his thoughts. “I have no clue what I can safely do to go against the dark lord that won’t potentially backfire on me or my friends. I seriously doubt it’d be safe to go anywhere to make a report either. Plus, I’m made to constantly take potions to prevent me from saying anything. Runes aren’t blocking all of the effects.”
The goblin scoffed in amusement, “You won’t have to make reports. All you have to do, and your friends should they wish to participate, is let us see and hear what you do. Don’t assume that you know everything our bank has to offer just because you study laws and runes here.” The goblin smirked when Lucius’ eyes widened. “Yes, I know you’ve been here before. Wizards using goblin resources outside of the banking services are rare so it’s easy to keep track of those who do. Now do you wish to take part in the investigation?”
“I … yes. What should I do?” Lucius asked, feeling a little better about this than earlier.
“Good. It’d be nice to have someone who is aware of what happened in the courtroom in the investigation.” RazorBlood said clearly referring to the trial he personally oversaw that involved Severus. “Reveal your mark.”
It was not something Lucius was proud of, but he was actually quite eager to roll up his sleeve this time. Silver eyes watched the goblin snap his claws. An ink bottle, a slim brown square pad and a small gold block all floated out of a hidden drawer that looked exactly like a regular stone in the wall. The items landed on the desk in front of the Malfoy and the small block began to glow.
“Now you will feel a slight poke, but use one finger, preferably the index finger on your wand hand, and touch the top of the glowing block.” RazorBlood instructed as he opened the slim brown pad revealing a squishy red cushion.
As RazorBlood poured the contents of the ink bottle onto the red cushion, Lucius extended his finger. The digit approached the completely smooth glowing gold cube shaped block that looked small enough to be a snitch if the flying ball had corners. Once the flesh pressed against the surface Lucius flinched and understandably recoiled. With the finger no longer covering the surface of the block a small sharp needle was revealed to now be sticking out of the top.
“Very good.” RazorBlood commented as the needle sank back into the cube recreating the innocent looking smoothness of the block. “This last part won’t be painful. Just lean closer, rest your marked arm on the desk and hold still.”
With a quick adjustment Lucius had his arm resting across the desk’s surface and watched as the goblin’s long claws picked up the block. The bottom of the gold glowing block was pressed into the ink covered cushion. After a moment of soaking in the ink the block was carried to Lucius' arm and pressed into the center of the dark mark.
Now that the block was pressing into him, Lucius could feel that the bottom of the block was not as smooth as the rest of the block. He tried to focus on what the unseen design was just to make sure he didn’t get bored and accidentally move. After all, RazorBlood gestured for Lucius to stay still again even though 5 whole minutes had passed with him in that position. It wasn’t until the glowing completely stopped that RazorBlood pulled the block away from Lucius’ skin leaving behind a glowing Gringotts symbol.
“The mark will blend in with the dark mark in a moment so let me tell you a few things.” RazorBlood commented and with a snap of his claws the items flew back to their hidden drawer. “Every time your mark summons you we will be listening. Don’t worry about lying. Don’t worry about going against him or being left without medical attention. Don’t worry about your friends or following orders. We will work around you. If you’re ordered to kill then aim your wand at who you think the target is without hesitation.” The goblin smirked as the young wizard’s eyes lit up in understanding.
Lucius felt a tingle and saw the Gringotts mark fade into the dark mark, “and my friends? They can’t come to Gringotts without a good reason or they’ll be suspected of something.”
“You can turn the mark on if you want to talk to us or report something that occurs between the times where you’re summoned. You simply have to channel your magic into the mark or roll your sleeve up. It will know the difference between rolling up and the removal of clothes and you won’t see it activate, but you’ll feel it. The mark will tingle so you’ll know when we’re listening and if we hear your friends express an interest then we will go to them. As a bonus the ink that makes the mark is made with ingredients that remove potions from your system. Understand?”
“Yes, sir.” Lucius said almost in a daze as he looked at his arm and rolled down his sleeve.

“Severus? Is something wrong?” Nicholas asked as he saw Severus in the greenhouse looking the blank parchment on the desk in front of him. “Lucius will be safer now … or are you thinking of something else?”
“I wanted to explain some things to my friend, Lily. After running into her at the Crock & Pestle I feel like I should explain, but … she never liked Lucius or any other Slytherins for that matter.” Severus said, clearly conflicted about the whole situation.
Nicholas tilted his head slightly and stroked his beard as he thought about the problem, “Tell me a little more about ner.”
After taking a second to think back Severus frowned, “She was my first and only friend for a long time. Actually she lives in muggle world … we were only a few streets apart, but her sister is kind of mean so I don’t visit often. When we first met I spotted her practicing magic and showed her I knew magic too. As a muggle-born from a purely muggle family she actually didn’t know anything about the magical world so I told her what little I knew … we ended up going to Hogwarts together. I think something changed when I was sorted into Slytherin, but we were still friends.” Severus said though his tone made it clear that he wasn’t so sure any more.
“How did she react when you were bullied or when you hung out with Lucius?” Nicholas asked calmly, trying not to jump to conclusions. If the witch was young when the two first met then she might not have realized that Severus was being abused and he didn’t want to hold that against her … yet.
Severus took a deep breath, “Lily is a very smart and skilled witch … James seemed to bully me to get to her, but when I tried to tell her that … she just made excuses. Things like ‘he’ll grow out of it’ and ‘he seemed nicer today so don’t worry about it’ along with some others. When I tried to tell her Lucius wasn’t dark like how she thought … she said it was some sort of trick and refused to even meet them. You know that rude person at the bookstore?”
“I do.” Nicholas mumbled still annoyed with that person, but as he realized where this topic was going he found his annoyance growing by the second.
“I saw a really long stick of books sticking out of her pocket right after … when we were at the bookstore.” Severus commented quietly.
The elderly wizard closed his eyes for a moment, both to calm himself down and to properly process the information, before looking at his grandson, “I’m going to be honest. It sounds like this Lily is a bit opportunistic. You were the poor boy that knew about magic and she wanted to learn. Once you both got to school she was on her own way, which is normal, but she never helped you because she saw a chance to get with the rich heir of the Potter family. Of course, she thinks the Potter family is painfully light family so to keep James' interest she might think associating with your friends or stopping the bullying will hurt that … I also find it odd that she didn’t try to meet me at the Crock & Pestle.”
“Yeah … but what do I do then?” Severus asked, not feeling right about giving up on Lily, but Lucius has been through too much for Severus to just ignore Lily’s usual dark comments.
After pondering it Nicholas smiled, “Let’s write her that letter and see how she responds. We’ll word it to make it sound like your grandfather and I are potentially dark leaning. Not even so dark that we’re on Voldemort’s side, but just leaning that way and we’ll figure it out when we see her response. If she backs off or tries to say something harsh then I think we might have our answer.”
Severus nodded and picked up the nearby quill, “After what just happened maybe I should mention werewolves.”
The old wizard chuckled, “Tell her we’re planning on building a werewolf sanctuary.” Nicholas sighed. “After today I think it’s time to do more than just donating anyway and bring up having Lucius checking in on you … and Severus. Keep in mind that just because she was your first friend doesn’t mean she’s a good one.”
“I … I know.” Severus said sadly before focusing on writing a quick letter,
Dear Lily,
I’ve had a rough summer. James apparently overheard a conversation I had with Lucius and tracked me down to apologize. Long story short I’m now with my grandfathers and going through some rather strong treatments to correct a lift of abuse. Don’t worry. My parents are locked up and my grandfathers and Lucius are taking good care of me and James is behaving.
I wish I could explain everything, but there are things going on right now that I have to keep quiet. I can’t have too many people over with my treatments going on and with the construction on the werewolf sanctuary my grandfathers are starting going on. Unfortunately, that means we can’t really see each other much this summer and the treatments will continue again next summer, but we still have school. I hope you have a good summer.
Regards,
Severus
“I think this’ll do.” Severus said almost praying that Lily had a friendly response.
Nicholas looked at the letter and nodded, “We’ll see.” The old wizard said before he took the letter to be sent. With the letter in hand they returned to the manor. Just as they entered the manor Sebastian and Lucius flooed into the home. “Everything go well?”
Sebastian smirked, “Worked perfectly.” They noticed Lucius jump slightly. “You ok?”
Yeah?” Lucius said though he definitely wasn’t sure. “Oh … I think I’m being summoned. It’s just nowhere near as painful.”
“A welcomed side effect.” Severus said getting a smirk from Lucius, who flooed away right after.

Euphemia gasped, “I’m sorry … your father did what?! Where is he now?” She demanded feeling a strong urge to smack Lyall.
“We can deal with him if he tries anything.” Fleamont chuckled nervously as he tried to calm his wife down. Not that he didn’t feel the same, but it’d be wiser to let the ministry deal with him for now. “What’s this?”
James grinned as he and Sirius took the pamphlets in Remus’ hands and gave it to Euphemia, “Patty gave them to him so he could pick his full moon compartment briefcase.”
Remus winced, “Yeah … I’ll work to pay for them-“
“Oh don’t worry about that! Just pick your favorites.” Fleamont said as Euphemia took the pamphlets and, without any subtlety at all, used a spell to completely erase all the prices before giving the pamphlets back to Remus.
XXXXXXXXXX
“Oh … you lived. Don’t disappoint the dark lord again.” Lucius’ father muttered when he saw his son join the meeting.
Voldemort demanded silence by sending a cutting curse at a random minion effort cutting that person’s throat, “I need a third spy in Hogwarts!”
As puzzled as he was by the number, it didn’t stop Lucius from stepping up, “I have been accepted as a member of the medical staff so I have a position.”
“Good … perhaps you have redeemed yourself.” Voldemort commented not even caring that there was a growing puddle of blood on the ground. A few other plans were discussed before the dark lord left.
“What did he mean by three?” Lucius asked as he pulled Regulus, the only other spy he knew of, aside.
Regulus shook his head, “Not sure.” He whispered.
“No matter.” Lucius leaned closer and whispered. “I know of a way to protect ourselves. Bellatrix and Narcissa will be safe too.”
