Last Time:
Apparently, he really had to calm down before he tried to move the pillow. Eventually he did return to Hogwarts, but it was later than expected …
XXXXXXXXXX
Answers were finally in Mark’s hands. They came in the form of a file. It arrived after Lucius contacted everyone else on the Board of Education. Once the headmaster of Durmstrang was contacted Mark was given this student file. To be precise, it was for a former student.
Of course, the timing meant it looked like Lucius only just obtained the file. However, thanks to Naruto’s work Lucius has been well aware of everything for far longer. Still the hard part of catching the witch had to happen.
Mark looked up from the file and smiled at Remus, “Ok, you can stay near Sirius. That will make sense since you know him. Besides, another person should be supervising along with Harry's guardian. You can help steer Hermione back to the door if need be.” The Auror said, but noticed that Remus wasn’t really paying attention and tapped the werewolf’s shoulder.
“Hm? Yeah, ok.” Remus exclaimed cutely after returning from whatever thought that had him both blushing and distracted.
“You going to tell me who you’re thinking of or should I assume that they’re hot?” The cheerful Auror teased only to burst out laughing when the werewolf blushed an even darker shade of red. “So hot it is! I take it you met this hot person after the full moon because you’ve been acting really weird since then.” The very amused Auror said pointedly.
Remus covered his red face with his hands, “He … he helped me heal afterwards and massaged me.”
Mark looked very interested, “No wonder you’re blushing.” He chuckled, making Remus whimper in embarrassment. Before the teasing could continue he noticed the time. “The Gringotts door is about to lower. Let’s go and separate our intruder from everyone.”
The werewolf watched the Auror disappear under cloak before getting the door. He could smell Mark right behind him ss they went towards the Great Hall. By the time the pair arrived Lucius was there and the floating door was lowering to the ground.
Just before the wood touched the stone Lucius grabbed it, “Along this wall should be the best option.” Lucius mused out loud as he guided the door over a few steps so it was tucked in the corner and out of the way. “There. Out of the line of sight.” He said hoping to minimize the number of students who might see anything weird.
Remus noticed that something brushed past him and he knew Mark went to the door, “The students should be getting up soon … when will Nar-Tom be here with Sirius?” Remus asked quietly, trying to hide the slip of the tongue. Of course, that didn’t escape Lucius’ notice.
As the door floated the last few inches to the floor the silver eyes narrowed on the nervous werewolf, “What did he do?” He all but demanded, but in the same quiet volume as Remus since he assumed Mark was nearby.
“Nothing!” Remus exclaimed a little too quickly and Lucius definitely didn’t fall for it. “When I was recovering from a certain night he helped me by applying some ointment-“ He immediately clammed up the second the door opened revealing a room filled with goblins and fun experiment set ups for the kids.
Lucius smiled at the goblins, “Everyone is coming down for breakfast now. Thank you for your assistance.” He said politely and after an exchange of bows he dragged Remus away. “How did he apply the ointment?” He whispered as he heard the sleepy students coming through the halls.
“Massage.” Remus shyly gasped and his face went back to red.
Lucius immediately understood what he meant, “Oh really.” He murmured thoughtfully. A shiver ran up his spine as he thought of Naruto’s strong hands on him and working out all the stress in his muscles. It’d be alright asking for that, right? What’s the harm in a massage?
The werewolf suddenly smelled something and became more serious, “She’s coming.” Remus whispered, effectively snapping Lucius out of his thoughts.
Sure enough, they soon saw Hermione walking down the hall. What they found disturbing was that Harry was the only one walking with her. Neither of them like how much she seemed to enjoy clinging to him.
Lucius ignored the other students who were filing into the Great Hall and went right up to Harry, “Where is the rest of your group?”
Harry was carefully trying to pull his arm out of Hermione’s grasp as he looked up at Lucius with tired eyes, “They all decided to sleep in, headmaster.” He said slightly regretting agreeing to spend another entire night telling ninja and bounty hunter stories. Of course, it made them so happy so he couldn’t say no and it didn’t feel right using a clone.
“It is the weekend so it’s perfectly fine. Actually… you look very tired too.” Lucius pointed out calmly as the other students passed by. “Perhaps you should go to sleep too. Draco and Blaise offered to look over the workshop for you and Mr. Black can wait.” He said indifferently, but took great pleasure in seeing Hermione’s eyebrow twitch in irritation.
Hermione tightened her hold on Harry’s arm, “Harry wants to meet him and invited me to come along.” She said firmly.
Remus and Lucius both saw the expression on Harry’s face. It was very clear he didn’t agree with anything the witch said. There was no doubt he would prefer going back to sleep, but he knew there was a plan. Unfortunately, it also seemed like she lied about him inviting her. After all, that wasn’t a necessity and Harry didn’t look happy. What was necessary was leading her into the Great Hall so she could see the door.
“Of course.” Lucius drawled, actually having trouble hiding the fact that he didn’t believe her. “Breakfast today is going to be a buffet that will be a brunch too. No one has to worry about missing out on eating. As for your meetup, Sirius Black is going to arrive shortly and he’ll be in the room that was set up right around the corner. You won’t have to miss anything. Professor Lupin will take you there and oversee everything.”
Harry nodded gratefully, “Thank you, headmaster.”
“Let’s go!” Hermione chirped and practicality dragged Harry out of the Great Hall right behind Remus.
Remus frowned, “Hermione, don’t pull-“
“There it is!” Hermione exclaimed and steered Harry towards the room with the open door that she eagerly assumed was the right one.
Harry scoffed while he was even dragged ahead of Remus, “I don’t recall saying you can come.” He said just as they were about to pass Draco and Blaise. “See you guys later … I will know why your hand is bandaged later.”
Draco smirked and waved with said bandaged hand, “Yeah sure.” He said and was pleased to see that Hermione spotted it and paused long enough for Remus to catch up.
The werewolf glanced at Harry. They both knew that Hermione was convinced that Draco might’ve tried to steal from her. It definitely helped to convince her when Naruto triggered her bag alarm again the day before. Unlike Sirius, Naruto didn’t get hurt, but Hermione certainly thinks the culprit did. Thus the reason Draco is wearing a fake bandage.
“We should go.” Remus said and gently pushed Hermione and Harry.
With a new burst of energy Hermione ran into the room with Harry dragged behind her, “You’re here!” She exclaimed happily the second she saw Sirius already in the room. “How did you know Peter Pettigrew was a Death Eater?” She asked excitedly while completely letting go of Harry and avoiding Tom.
Sirius blinked in surprise, “Who are you?” He asked when he remembered that he was supposed to play along.
Hermione smiled and immediately latched back onto Harry’s arm, “I’m Harry’s friend, Hermione Granger. We both wanted to know more about tracking dark wizards-“
“No I don’t.” Harry muttered through a yawn.
“Yes you do.” Hermione insisted rudely. “Dark wizards killed your parents and he is still around so you have to-“
Harry’s tired eyes suddenly had a flash of anger, “I’m not your pawn.” He snapped and in an instant she shot upwards where she got tangled in the chandelier.
Tom sighed, “Accidental magic flares up in the oddest moments.” He said while Remus went to help, but in reality Naruto knew the truth. It was just a bit of uncontrolled ninja strength. (I know you’re tired, but you should be better at controlling your strength. I think this counts and you lose our little bet.)
Harry’s eyebrow twitched in annoyance, (She seems to think I’m just another pawn like Dumbledore did! I have a right to be annoyed, but I didn’t lose control!)
(There’s a witch hanging from a chandelier … how is that controlled?) Naruto thought dryly and smirked when Harry didn’t argue further. (Glad to see you agree.)
Once Hermione was freed she pouted and gave her best ‘feel bad for me’ expression, “I didn’t mean it quite like that, Harry. It’s just some jerk has tried to take things from me twice this week! I want to stop them, but I think I know who it is and I don’t think the headmaster will stop him. I don’t want the wrong person to get accused and end up suffering someone else’s punishment.” She said, blatantly trying to manipulate Sirius with her words.
Sirius did his best to hide his own irritation, “This headmaster seems much more responsible than that backstabber, Dumbledore, so why not try?” Sirius said, but he actually flinched when the witch glared at him. Clearly she wasn’t fond of people insulting Dumbledore. “Would you like me to talk to this person-“
“I’ll ask him to come here!” Hermione said quickly and immediately ran out the door.
Remus raised an eyebrow, “She really thinks you have some sort of authority there.” He said knowing full well that Sirius hasn’t returned to being an Auror despite having finished his mind healing.
It’s strongly recommended to wait before going back. A year is the suggested, though not required, amount of time to wait. Not that Hermione would know, but Sirius and Mark certainly do. Mark, by the way, was right in the room and saw everything before following Hermione.
Tom smirked, “Mark is gone. Not exactly to plan. I would’ve preferred it to be her that had the meltdown, but it still proved she’s more than unstable. We’ll soon not have her around and she can get some help.”
Sirius frowned, “All you wanted was that little slip of the tongue?”
Tom hummed thoughtfully, “Is implying that you think Voldemort is alive and Dumbledore is being framed really a small issue?” Naruto responded and even Sirius winced as they realized the full extent of the issues.
XXXXXXXXXX
Thanks to the invisibility cloak Hermione had no idea that Mark was right behind her. At least, he was behind her part of the way. He quickly pulled ahead and went up to the new door in the Great Hall. Those oblivious students who wanted to eat first were too busy focusing on their food. As a result no one saw a ripple in the air next to the Gringotts workshop door. It was a ripple like fabric was being pulled away.
In fact, that’s exactly what Mark did. Without coming out from his cloak he yanked down an unseen curtain, which was probably made from the same material as the invisibility cloaks. A second Gringotts door was hidden right behind it. The Auror took the curtain and held it up to hide the real workshop door.
When Hermione ran into the Great Hall she ran for the first visible workshop door she saw. Sadly, she never once noticed that the door was just a few feet over than when she first saw it. The second she was in Mark took the curtain down and stuck it back over the second. With that door hidden again Mark slipped behind the cloak curtain and walked in to close the door with Hermione inside. It happened so fast that no one saw anything. The young witch only noticed something was off when she saw only adults in the room.
“Wasn’t that snake supposed to be here?” Hermione muttered trying to recall exactly what Lucius said about Draco and Blaise earlier.
If she played her cards right then she can have Sirius look at Draco’s bandaged hand. I’m her mind that would lead to Lucius being investigated. Of course, it won’t be long before everything falls apart for them.
Just the thought of giving those Death Eaters what they deserved made her giddy. However, she realized there weren’t any students in that room. In fact, behind the Gringotts staff were Aurors. As the Aurors came towards her she turned to run, but Mark was now visible and blocking the door.
“Stay away from me! There are Death Eaters in this school! Do something about them instead of accusing innocent people-“ The witch froze mid sentence. When the Aurors fanned out all around her the crowd thinned enough so she could see a familiar face. “Uncle Dan?”
The slender tall wizard with a bald area on the center of his head started to tear up, “Caitlin! It really is you! Please come with us-“
“No!” The witch screamed and her temper only got worse when Mark reversed the spell revealing her real self, which was that of a tall teenager with straight brown hair and blue eyes. “You all locked up my mother! I told you it was a Death Eater that killed my father and my sisters! It wasn’t mom in a cloak! She wouldn’t torture me! It was a Death Eater! They’re still out there! Voldemort is still out there and I can prove it!” She raged and tried to point her wand at an Auror only for it to fly out of her hand.
“Catlin, you were only 10… she tried to take advantage of you.” Dan murmured sadly, but the witch only glared. “We can talk about this somewhere else.” He said softly and watched the Aurors guide his the pissed off teenager way.
Mark smiled softly, “We’ll help you both get through this.”
“Thank you.” Dan said clearly both relieved to have his niece safe, but worried about it as well. “I should’ve made her get mind healing right after her mother …” Dan trailed off not having the strength to finish the sentence.
“Let me guess, she didn’t want to.” Mark said, knowing the gist already.
“and I couldn’t force her.” Dan confirmed sadly. “Everything seemed fine until she tried to attack a student for saying something about her mother being a Death Eater. Once she was expelled I thought it was a good time to get her help.”
The Auror frowned as he handed Dan the wand that was originally in the witch’s hands, “Her wand was snapped so whose wand is she using?”
Dan sighed, “When I got her home I turned my back to write a letter to arrange for a healer and she stole her father’s wand. I kept it to remember my brother … that’s his wand.”
The reunion continued elsewhere in private. Healing will take time, but there were even ninjas watching to make sure everything goes well.
