Last Time:
After making his report he filled the cup by using a water spell and returned to Severus’ side. Despite having rats, dark lords and horcruxes plaguing his mind he made himself focus on his friend’s health …

As Lily gathered her things at the end of lunch she sighed, “I’ll be right behind you guys.” She said tiredly.
A Hufflepuff frowned, “You feeling ok?”
“Yeah I just need to lay down for a minute.” Lily explained as she left the Great Hall. She gazed at James for a second, but she didn’t want to repeat what happened at breakfast so she kept walking. In fact, she returned to her room in the Hufflepuff dorm. “It’s just me.”
The second she shut the door a rat crawled out from under her bed and shifted into Peter Pettigrew, “I hate staying hidden for so long.”
“Well maybe you shouldn’t have let yourself slip up. I’m glad you didn’t drag me down too, but how did you even get caught with my love potion?” Lily asked as she very deliberately sat on the desk chair that didn’t belong to her.
“It was your snake.” Peter hissed furiously as he kicked the leg of one on the beds.
Lily rolled her eyes, “He’s not my snake … not anymore. Exactly how did Severus catch you?”
“I have no idea.” Peter grumbled with an annoyed sigh. “But it makes sense, right? Out of nowhere I’m expelled and suddenly Severus is living the high life with a rich family. By the way, it wasn’t even taken into account that I only targeted the werewolf! That should count for something, right?”
“You’d think, but apparently werewolves matter now.” Lily muttered as she swung her leg casually and continuously knocked the chair with her heel. “Severus’ family is werewolf friendly.”
Peter sighed, “You’re lucky no one caught you breaking those runes on the Shrieking Shack. I got expelled and it was just Remus. If you had been caught trying to kill-“
“I only wanted him to be bitten and for the both of them to be kicked out since your ‘impregnate the werewolf’ plan kept failing to remove Remus.” Lily said sharply, making Peter flinch. “I have one last thing and if you can do your end it could remove Severus. If possible we can pin it on Remus … wait, if you’re expelled how can you get in the castle without knowing?”
The former student raised an eyebrow, “If what the professors say about the wards is true how can we so easily sneak to Hogsmeade and out after curfew? … I mean you clearly can’t sneak now.” Peter pointed out as he glanced down at the hand shaped monitor holding on to the witch’s ankle. He immediately regretted that when she glared at him so harshly that he flinched. “Never mind! Really I’m the one most restricted here. I can’t go anywhere in the main castle. Like you, I would love to be in Gryffindor, but I can’t risk being anywhere where Remus might smell me and I can’t risk being too close when they have an enchanted map that tracks everyone on the grounds. Though I doubt they’d bother checking the Hufflepuff house so I’m safe here.”
Lily raised an eyebrow, “Really? You never mentioned a map before.” She said suspiciously.
“In my defense it was only created by Remus last year and they only used it at night when they didn’t want the professors to catch them. They never brought it out at any other time … besides, I was a little busy getting expelled.” He commented, sounding a little hurt that Lily ignored that point.
“Right.” Lily said almost sounding apologetic, but never actually said it out loud. “If you can get close to that potion bag Severus has-“
“Hold it!” Peter yelped frantically. “The bag we saw Severus use-“
“Of course that one!” Lily snapped, not really wanting to remember that Severus helped the werewolf with that bag. She was certain it was a misguided dark influence from the other Slytherin and that Severus would always choose her, but she realized he was a lost cause and it hurt a little. “The Malfoy apparently keeps Severus’ healing potions in that bag so get close-“
“You mean with the Malfoy around? Because that’s the terrifying thing I’d like to avoid. He’s not an idiot.” Peter gulped shakily.
Lily just rolled her eyes, “Coward. Just keep under the Slytherin table in the Great Hall and pop this on the bag.” She said as she reached in her trunk and pulled out a small piece of fabric that had runes. “It’ll stitch itself into the bag so just make it quick. Oh and since you aren’t busy can you figure out how to deal with this?” She asked and raised her leg that was trapped by the creepy ankle monitor.
“I think I can do that, but it might be a couple hours, at least, to get what’s needed to break the monitor.” Peter said and winced as Lily glared at him.
Lily scoffed, “Just have everything ready at dinner. I need to get to class.”
“I’ll do that.” Peter said and watched the witch leave to get to her next class. “She’s planning to ditch soon. I wonder what she’s done with this cloth. She’s skilled so I bet it’ll be interesting. Maybe …” He seemed to think about something before sighing and shaking his head. “There’s no way she’ll agree to join. She still thinks she’s a light witch with her attitude. I’m sure she’ll be very useful anyway. After all, the dark lord wanted something to stir things up here.and as long as she doesn’t know who I’m actually working for she will help, but if I don’t hide my scent I’m screwed.”
Peter put the fabric on the floor and looked around the room to find anything that might save him from a werewolf’s nose. He did find some perfume. It seemed like his best option so he sprayed himself thoroughly. To be absolutely sure he put the bottle in his pocket so he could use it again if he needed it and closed up the bag he found it in to hide that he was there.
After taking a moment to think about anything else he might need. Nothing came to mind so he shifted into his rat form. As a rat he grabbed the fabric in his mouth and was easily able to get under the bed. He immediately went to make a quick report and ask for a solution to the monitor issue.

“Good news.” Amber called over to her four werewolf teammates, who were guarding the cemetery even if no muggle seemed to notice them being there. “The minister allowed our warrant to go through fast. He doesn’t want us to linger too long in a muggle area.”
Gill grinned, “Allow me.” He said as he pointed his wand at the grave hidden by a tree and the wall at the corner of the cemetery. “Magic power.” He recited as if speaking a password, which they must’ve learned using the badges again.
In an instant a skeletal hand came out of the dirt. It pushed against the tombstone into the fairly large tombstone, but nothing happened. “Something is missing … it looks like it's supposed to be holding something like a key. Do you think she took the key?”
One of the fellow werewolves looked closer at where the skeleton hand was touching, “I see a faint indent shaped like a circle so she must have a key type thing that she gives the hand. She probably keeps it with her, though.”
“How big is it?” Gill asked as he kneeled down to get a closer look. After a second the blue haired Auror chuckled. “If ‘magic power’ is the password then let’s try a wand. I remember her wand measurements from her file and I think your wand will work.” He said to another werewolf, who curiously handed Gill his wand.
Once the skeleton hand sensed the wand come close it moved. The bony fingers wrapped around the wand and it repeated the action it tried before. This time the wand’s tip hit the circle and a click was heard. The skeleton hand pulled back revealing that the tombstone was now a door, which it politely held open. If you looked into the room you would see a spiral staircase going down into a lit room.
The first whiff from the room made Gill smirk, “We got her.”
“Good.” Amber said and sighed as her badge buzzed. “Damn and it was just getting good. I’ll be right back after dinner.”
“Right. We’ll catch you up when you get back.” Gill exclaimed as Amber left to play Dumbledore at Hogwarts. “I’ll head in first and check for any other surprises.” He said as he slid into the tombstone door and stepped on the steps.
The sound of a click made Gill stop and look up. Apparently the skeleton hand shut the door behind him. Before he continued down the steps he got out his badge and wrote a quick note to the teammates up above to make sure he still had a way to reach them. Almost immediately he got a response and he proceeded down to look around.
“Dear Merlin.” Gill muttered, sounding both annoyed and a little impressed. “None of these lights were bought. However, there are the items we couldn’t find … looks like she was collecting rainwater.”
In front of him was a decent sized greenhouse and a potion lab set up. Immediately the ingredients that she bought and planted in the greenhouse were identified. Unfortunately, there was so much more there too and he bet it wasn’t bought in a legit way. Possibly stolen straight from Hogwarts. The growing lights, equipment and tables definitely came from muggle stores. Right away it was suspected that those were stolen too. However, since the Auror didn’t remember some of these things being on the Gringotts list of things she bought with the stolen money he bet she just stole them.
“Muggle stores wouldn’t notice anything so why waste the magical money and just take everything.” Gill muttered, trying to understand what she was thinking as he looked over everything. The greenhouse had many plants including some things there was no record of her buying, but it was the lab set up that caught his attention. “Good thing a tombstone can be modified to provide good airflow. It’d be foolish to brew otherwise. She must’ve finished brewing something before I arrested her.”
Everything looked neat and clean. However, there was potion residue on the ceiling and in the cauldron. She probably filled the vials with her potion and hid them somewhere. It must’ve been a good hiding spot for even Gringotts to miss it, but she didn’t get to return to clean up or didn’t have enough supplies to do so. Now the question was what potion did she make?
A set of notes on the table next to the cauldron was Gill’s first clue, “I see … she probably didn’t want to damage the books and only brought notes in here.” He commented as he examined the notes, which were for a potion that breaks bones in order to properly align them and help heal. However, she made a few tweaks and the notes suggested that she removed the healing element. “Why re-break bones, but not heal them and who could this be for? … oh shit!” Gill immediately raced back up the stairs and informed his teammates of the danger.
After all, there was only one person Lily knows who could suffer greatly from such a potion and it was Severus.

Voldemort snarled, “What does the witch want you to do?” The dark lord asked after Peter finished making his report.
“She wanted me to put this on the bag used for healing potions.” Peter said and held the piece of fabric out so the dark lord could easily see it.
“It contains something … humor the witch. It may be entertaining.” Voldemort said with a sneer and pointed to Lucius’ father who was waiting obediently off to the side. “Get something to break the witch’s ankle monitor.” He said dismissively.
“Yes, my lord.” The Malfoy lord said and promptly left with Peter. “It will take a couple minutes to break the monitor so have it ready. Since the dark lord wants you to help her she can hide at this address. She can stay as long as she’s useful.” He said as he handed Peter a ring that was open and a slip of paper.
“Ok. Thank you, sir.” Peter said after placing everything in his pocket he shifted into his rat form and scurried off.
Not long later he arrived in Hogsmeade and used a secret passage to get into Hogwarts. While in the passage he shifted quickly and reapplied the perfume before turning back into a rat. After a second he gathered his nerves and raced all the way to Lily’s bed where he waited for Lily.
Thankfully, not much time passed before she entered the room, “Dinner will start soon.” Lily hissed urgently when she entered the room.
Peter quickly came out from under the bed and went back into his human form, “Put this on your ankle monitor and wait a couple minutes for it to break. Once it’s done you can go to this address.”
Lily smirked as she took the slip of paper with the address and the ring, “You got more than I thought.” She said as she pressed the split ring against the hand shaped monitor and watched it clamped down on a finger. Now it just looked like the hand was wearing a wedding ring. A ring that was about to destroy it.
“Yeah.” Peter said and quickly told her where the passage to Hogsmeade was. “Ok. I’ve got to go. Can you spray me?” Peter asked as he put the fabric on the ground and gave her the perfume.
After a couple sprays the rat took the fabric in its mouth and he left. Out of pure luck Peter found Lucius and Severus alone on a bench in a relatively secluded hall just around the corner from the Great Hall. Even better was that Lucius walked away to open the nearby window. Peter immediately took the chance to race under the bench and hide under where Severus was seated.
Lucius must’ve thought Severus looked to be in pain because he pulled out the potion bag. No one saw the rat slip the fabric between the slats of the bench where it sewed itself to the bottom of the bag.
