There may be some romance in the air …

A small rat scurried around the Malfoy manor. Soon it crept into a room where Voldemort was meeting with Bellatrix and Lucius’ father. The rat stayed hidden around the corner and just listened to the report.
“Regulus sent an update, my lord.” Bellatrix said with a smile that would convince anyone that she liked being there. “Apparently, Dumbledore has stopped all Hogsmeade visits.”
Voldemort smirked, “He’s nervous. This is good. Now we need another attack point that will send my message.”
It was then that Lucius’ father bowed, “If I may make a suggestion, my lord. I’ve heard news about a sanctuary for werewolves-“
Voldemort immediately scowled in distaste, “Half of my army are those wretched creatures. Bellatrix! Take a dozen others and destroy it. Do it before the next full moon!” He ordered sharply.
“As you wish, my lord.” Bellatrix exclaimed cheerfully as she eagerly left to supposedly hunt down her target.
The rat moved deeper under the bookcase he was under. Once Bellatrix passed and was out of sight the rat seemed to sigh in relief. Despite also being a Death Eater, the rat didn’t want to be seen. In fact, Peter decided that the dark lord wasn’t in a good mood and decided to look for something better for a better report later on.
“Peter.” The rat stiffened in fear. Peter suddenly felt his tiny form being lifted by an invisible force. Much to his horror he was taken right up to Voldemort’s face. “Bellatrix won’t need any help, but go along anyway. Tell me exactly who dies during her attack.” He ordered and gravity suddenly took control again meaning Peter dropped to the floor.
“A brilliant idea, my lord. It will be easy to see if the ministry is reporting everything accurately.” Lucius’ father praised as the rat quietly scurried away.
Peter was so terrified about the mission that he briefly considered going back to the hideout. However, there was a reason he has been avoiding that place for the last few weeks. Lily, for some unknown reason, has been spending hours glaring at a frying pan and mumbling. It was enough to make him back off. In fact, if he had to pick between hideout and murder mission he would pick the mission. In the end that’s where Peter went.
It was pretty easy to follow the eager band of cloaked people. He listened as they looked for information on exactly where the sanctuary was. For a moment he thought Bellatrix might have been stalling the investigation. However, the second he followed them to location and saw the destruction he knew she was loyal. If anything she had too much fun destroying the three buildings and firing the Death mark into the sky.
Peter was so unnerved by the witch’s actions that he waited until all the other Death Eaters left before emerging. With no one else around he inspected the rubble in peace. Among the remains of the houses he found three bodies and it kind of surprised him. After all, he just didn’t expect to see James’ parents and Remus’ father dead in the rubble.
At the same time Peter didn’t waste any time thinking about the tragic loss. After all, an evil dark wizard was waiting for his report. That was far more important.
Once he returned he scurried up to Voldemort and shifted into his human form, “Three people died. Euphemia and Fleamont Potter along with Lyall Lupin.” He reported quickly.
A deadly silence lingered as Voldemort pondered that information, “Abraxas, the Potter heir goes to Hogwarts, correct?”
“He does, my lord.” Lucius’ father answered obediently.
Voldemort shot Peter a sharp look, “Leave.”
There was no need to say anything else. Peter Immediately changed into a rat and ran away.

“Oh my! It’s beautiful!” Euphemia gasped when she saw that Lyall was putting the final stained glass window in place.
Fleamont looked at the glass design of a squirrel in a tree, but it was in motion, “I’ve seen moving stained glass before, but I’ve never seen it shift like this. How is it changing seasons?”
The playful glass squirrel was bouncing around on the tree branch to welcome people. Every few minutes the scenery would change. The vibrant glass leaves changed from green to red and gold. It even became winter as the black outline shifted making the leaves disappear and snow fall. After a little bit a red scarf appeared around the squirrel’s neck as the snow fell. Soon the snow stopped and buds began to grow on the trees to become leaves again.
Lyall smiled, “It wasn’t too difficult once I tried a different material for the outline. Oh … I should slow it down before getting down from here.” Lyall said from his spot on the high sill that now held the new stained glass window.
Euphemia smiled as she saw that the change of the seasons slowed down while the ‘wind’ blowing the glass leaves still looked natural, “I love it so much! I can’t wait to open-“ Euphemia suddenly saw dozens of Aurors floo into this house. “What’s going on?!” She asked knowing it must be serious if she could see Aurors in the other two manors that made up their sanctuary.
Lyall tried to be careful as he hurried down from his perch, “What-hey!”
Gill came out of the chaos and scooped up Lyall in a bridal style, “We’re getting you out of here now!`
Fleamont frowned as another Auror guided him and his wife in the same direction that Gill was carrying Lyall, “What were those houses?” He asked after they were taken to Gringotts through a portkey. The last thing he saw before appearing deep in the bank was three old houses appearing in the distance. The houses weren’t too close to their sanctuary, but they were still close enough to see.
Gill finally seemed relieved when he saw RazorBlood walk in the room they were in, “We got word of a Death Eater attack-“
“On our sanctuary? Have safety measures been taken?” Euphemia asked, realizing how the houses her husband mentioned might fit into this.
RazorBlood nodded, “Your property has been secured and decoys have been set up including golems to take your places.”
“Our places? Why do we need decoys? Is it an attempt to kill one of us?” Lyall asked and glanced at Gill. “Are you going to put me down?” He asked, but rolled his eyes in amusement when the werewolf made no move to put him down.
The goblin judge scoffed, “A spy of ours thankfully notified us about the planned attack on your sanctuary and orphanage. Voldemort always likes to have a death involved so since you were seen there occasionally we will have to fake your deaths.”
Lyall looked very worried, “I get why, but what is going to be reported? Are Remus and James going to be told that we aren’t dead?”
RazorBlood sighed as the three terrified parents looked at him for an answer, “Our first objective is to make sure you’re safe. After we make sure the plan was successful. Then we’ll have our spy pass the message along before the information comes out in the newspaper.”
“Thank you.” Euphemia said, sounding very relieved. The thought of her son hearing such news and not knowing the truth broke her heart. “What are we waiting for?” She asked, trying to not sound rude, but she wanted her son, Remus and Sirius in the loop as fast as possible.
“Soon. In fact, you can watch if you want.” RazorBlood commented calmly and walked out of the room.
The Potters and Gill, which meant Lyall too, followed after the goblin. They soon found themselves in a room filled with goblins watching a few crystal balls. One crystal ball in particular had an image from inside their sanctuary. That image changed as if someone was walking and now they were looking at the three new decoy buildings nearby.
“Your sanctuary is completely hidden. The Aurors are hiding inside to make sure nothing happens.” Gill explained and just in time.
A second later a small army of Death Eaters surrounded the decoy houses. Everything was quickly reduced to rubble. However, the main focus seemed to be the rat that was seen searching the rubble not long after. Just after the crystal ball was turned off the worried parents started getting impatient.
RazorBlood nodded, “I understand. Once our spies check in we’ll send word.”
‘We did it, my lord!’ Came the voice of a young witch from one of the other crystal balls. ‘The sanctuary is all gone!’
Euphemia raised an eyebrow when she looked at that crystal ball. Admittedly, she reflexively wanted to glare at the person who dared sound cheerful about that task. However, she soon noticed the image of none other than Voldemort staring back at them.
“We can see him?” Fleamont murmured, feeling just as unnerved as Lyall and Euphemia.
‘Well done, Bellatrix. You’re dismissed.’ Voldemort said and the image moved as if the spy was walking out of the room. Both Euphemia and Fleamont caught a glimpse of the spy and figured out that the spy must’ve been Sirius’ cousin, Bellatrix.
‘I tried to step closer to him … the coin definitely pulsed even stronger. It’s near him.’ Bellatrix was heard whispering after she got far enough away. She sounded far more serious and slightly more scared than cheerful this time. It made Euphemia’s heart break.
“Yes.” RazorBlood commented absentmindedly as he had the crystal ball replay the last thing they saw. “Normally we don’t take the risk, but we need to find something and Bellatrix has the best position.” He said and allowed the other goblins to take a closer look at the images, specifically at the things around the dark wizard.
‘My lord.’ The voice of Lucius Malfoy was suddenly heard from another crystal ball. However, this crystal ball had no images on it.
‘Keep a close eye on the Potter heir. If you see an opportunity to get him then take it. His parents are dead so get his inheritance.’ Voldemort said, not realizing that said parents were listening and infuriated by the order.
‘I understand, my lord.’ Lucius was heard saying. A moment later everyone heard the sound of a floo. ‘What should I do?’
RazorBlood looked at the three parents, “This is who we were waiting for.” He commented and let his claw tap the crystal ball.
Across the surface of the blank crystal ball gold words appeared forming a message - ‘Tell James Potter, Sirius Blck and Remus Lupin to not believe the next Daily Prophet. Their parents are safe, but they must play along for a little bit.’
‘Understood.’ Lucius was heard saying before they were met with silence.
Euphemia breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank Merlin. Is there any way we can see them?”
RazorBlood hummed in thought, “I believe a meeting can be arranged.”

“Is your dad planning on stopping by in a few days?” Severus asked Remus as they walked down to their next class.
Of course, being back on his usual potions meant that Severus was suffering from bouts of dizziness again. Not something he was happy with. However, Severus found that he wasn’t as annoying as before. Perhaps it was because James was always so close.
Remus smiled, knowing that Severus was really talking about the full moon, “I think so and so is Gill. At least, that’s what my father said in his last letter. You’re going to be resting this time, right?” He asked with an amused smile. After all, Severus would normally be the one healing him so this school year would be very different for both of them.
Severus scoffed, “I doubt I’d be able to stay awake so say hello for me … and no escaping.” He commented dryly bringing up the moments where someone let Remus out last year.
“Without her I bet neither of us have to worry.” Remus chuckled as they kept walking. They all pretty much blamed Lily for those incidents.
Lucius twitched when he felt the dark mark flare up, “Of course something would happen now.” He muttered once they reached the bottom of the staircase. It made him feel better that Severus saw him gesture with his left arm and understood the meaning. “I’m needed for something. Take care of Severus.”
James flinched when the Malfoy specifically shot a sharp look right at him, “He’ll be safe!” He exclaimed and he watched the skeptical Lucius turn to leave.
Sirius’ eyes lit up as an idea came to his mind, “Just in case he isn’t back in time Remus and I will go ahead and warn the professor.” He said quickly as he grabbed Remus’ hand and dragged the werewolf away.
Remus chuckled, “Slow down, Sirius. There’s no need to keep running.” He said with a chuckle. They both slowed down and caught their breath. “Giving … them a chance?” Remus asked between pants.
“How many … chances will … they get? Had to take … it.” Sirius said breathlessly.
After catching his breath he realized two things. One, giving James and Severus time alone also meant that he and Remus have a moment alone. Two, Remus was flushed and very close.
“Um … we better keep moving.” Sirius said sheepishly and they kept walking. They were moshing at a brisk pace and Sirius snuck several glances at Remus, but they were quiet. At least, until they got to the classroom.
Remus smiled, “Let me put my book bag down and we can talk to the professor.”
Sirius nodded, “Ok, but hurry up.” He said while trying to not look at Remus as he slid his own book bag down.
The werewolf chuckled, “Sirius, you need to let go of my hand first.”
“Huh?” Sirius muttered in confusion and looked down at his hand. A blush exploded on his face when he saw that he was still holding Remus’ hand. The very hand connected to the shoulder that Remus was using to carry his book bag. “Oh … s-sorry!” He exclaimed and immediately let go of the werewolf’s hand.
Remus set his book bag next to his assigned seat, “Don’t be. Now let’s go talk to Professor McGonagall.”
“Yeah.” Sirius murmured nervously, but before he could even think that he screwed something up, Remus deliberately took hold of Sirius’ hand again and smiled making his heart flutter …
