Remus/Hermione Fic
Summary: Remus is sold as a werewolf slave, and Hermione
gets him. (tee hee) Takes place during our golden trio’s seventh year,
Dumbledore is not dead, ignore HBP. Mostly ‘cause I like Snape and Dumbledore
is fun!!
A/N: Started as a challenge, will probably not be super good
to start out with, but hopefully it’ll get better. Also, this has not been beta’d
and…Sorry. A beta would be really nice, but I don’t like bossy editors.
Reviews are welcome, please try not to be OVERLY critical, like I said, it hasn’t
been beta’d.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters; I’m just
borrowing them and having a good time doing so. I’m also not making any money
off this fic, and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t sue me.
Onto the fic
“HARRY! Ronald!” Hermione cried.
“Have you got all your books this year?” As usual, the trio were shopping for
their books in Diagon Ally.
“Yeah, but we need to stop by the
joke shop,” answered Ron, mouth full of food.
“Honestly, Ronald, what good is
that? You know that’ll only get you into loads of trouble.”
“Yes, mother,” Harry answered. “What’s
that, over there?”
Hermione turned, seeing a shady,
creaky building bustling with people. Hermione noticed a sign that read
“AUCTION!”
“Oh, an auction! I love auctions!”
“Do we have to, Hermione?” asked Ron.
“I don’t think-”
“If we go to the auction, we can go
to the joke shop,” interrupted Harry. Hermione sighed, but nodded.
The trio walked into the building,
swarming their way through many rich witches and wizards. Must be a high
profile auction, thought Hermione. The boys didn’t seem to notice.
Upon the large, wooden auction block
stood a pudgy man with a large wooden gavel. “Attention! People, attention! Due
to the new law, we have several creatures to auction today, as today is the
first day to purchase your new slaves.”
Hermione and Harry exchanged
glances. “Creatures?” she whispered. “What on earth is he talking about?”
“Maybe it’s some pricy owls.”
“QUIET PLEASE!” shouted the pudgy
man. “Our first creatures up for bid are the werewolves we could round up.
There will be more, and another time to auction them off, but for now we only have
four.” The trio exchanged looks of horror with each other, and then
realization dawned on them.
“Remus!” cried Harry. “Remus is
going to be auctioned in…into slavery.”
“Harry, the ministry can’t just sell
werewolves into slavery.” Ron looked at Hermione. “Can they?”
Hermione looked over the pamphlet and
read, looking very deep in thought. “The ministry passed a law, stating that
Werewolves are seen as a danger, and therefore are to be auctioned to the
highest bidder, and treated as slaves. They may have jobs, however, if the
owner deems that appropriate…” Hermione stomped. How could they do this?
“It’s just another way for the
ministry to get money,” inserted Ron. “Me dad says they’ve been losin’ money,
on account of the war with you-know-who. Is Lupin in there? In the pamphlet,
I mean?” Hermione nodded gravely. “I’m sure Dumbledore is here…”
“He isn’t, Ron,” answered Harry.
“Maybe the ministry kept it a secret until today. I mean, it is still
early in the morning. If Dumbledore wasn’t awake yet...”
“Harry, you have loads of money,”
said Ron. “Why not just…buy Lupin yourself and keep him at Sirius’ house?”
“Sold! To the man over there in
green!” Hermione looked up and saw one Lucius Malfoy. She would be damned if
that bastard bought one of her friends and mentors.
“That’s a great idea-”
“No it’s not!” huffed Hermione. “You
have to register where they live. If you register him at Sirius’ house,
they’ll know where the order is operating from…” Ron looked as though
Christmas had just been taken away.
Crap, thought Hermione. They’ve already
sold two werewolves, Remus will be up here soon.
“Ron could buy him and keep him at
the burrow…”
“My mum would never allow it, Harry,
you understand…Besides, I haven’t any money.”
“Hermione, if I give you money, could
he live with you?”
“I have school.”
“Hermione, we’re probably Remus Lupin’s
only chance here. You could buy him and then ‘sell’ him to Dumbledore.
Hermione, I can’t be recognized here, you have to do it.” Hermione nodded
once. She couldn’t see the fault in that.
“SOLD! To the witch with the lovely
hat,” said the auctioneer. “Werewolf number three, bids start out at 200
galleons.”
Hermione shot her hand up and yelled,
“500 galleons!” Lupin recognized that voice. Surely, Albus wasn’t here. Damn
the ministry for making this law.
Lucius Malfoy looked at her and
raised an eyebrow. “1,000 galleons!” Oh, God, no, thought Remus. Please
don’t let Malfoy buy me. Anybody but Malfoy…
“Don’t let him get Lupin!” he heard.
“But Harry, that’s so expensive…”
“Going once…”
“Hermione, trust me.”
“Going twice…”
“Twelve hundred galleons!” she
cried.
“One thousand, five hundred,”
restated Malfoy.
“Two thousand Galleons!” cried
Hermione.
“Ten thousand Galleons!” replied Malfoy.
He would not be beat out by a little muggleborn, that, he was sure of. Gasps
of surprise and shock flew through the small, creaky building. That was the
highest bid for anyone up there. Remus looked up, and seeing the smirk on his
face, he knew that Malfoy was going to get him. Oh, how he needed Albus.
Hermione felt her heart beating
rapidly. This is just too expensive…she and Ron thought.
“Hermione, keep going,” assured
Harry. “I’ve plenty of money for this, I promise.”
“Fourteen thousand galleons,” she
said, and swallowed.
“Fourteen thousand galleons…”
repeated the man. “Would anyone else like to bid?” He looked around the room
quickly, and Malfoy smirked. There was no way she would be able to bid that.
She was just trying to up bid him. Of course, make a break in his finances,
not that that would be easy, of course…
“Going once…”
Hermione closed her eyes and held her
breath. She didn’t want to have to waste anymore of Harry’s money to help Remus
from a stupid law that shouldn’t have been passed to begin with.
“Going twice…”
God, please let me get him, please don’t
make me bid again…
“SOLD! To the young girl in pink
near the front.” Remus opened his eyes, and looked for the witch that had just
bought him. Much to his delight, he saw Hermione and Ron grinning. Where was
Harry?
Hermione grabbed Ron’s wrist, and
lead him out the doors. “Ron, that was amazing!”
Ron smiled. “NOW can we go to
the joke shop?”
“Where’s Harry?”
“He said he wanted to stay behind,”
Ron answered. “To see who was buying whom.” He shrugged. “He said to go
ahead of him. So…to the joke shop?”
“If we must,” answered Hermione.
“But then to the ministry, as I have to register Remus at my house.” Hermione
suddenly felt sad. “It wasn’t fair that we had to buy him to save him.”
“No,” agreed Ron.
