The Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter 10

Warning: Mentions of Murder

"Stupid Order, distracting us and making us go to Little Hangleton instead." Vishaka muttered as the wolves walked through the forest. 

Remus rolled his eyes. Voldemort had Fenrir, Vishaka, Jasper, and him go to Little Hangleton to kill an auror they were suppose to kill in Diagon Alley the day of the attack at Malfoy Manor.

The forest was calm during the night. Just the noise of the crickets. Remus hasn't felt this relaxed since he joined the Order, even though he was about to go kill someone. 

"You alright, Remus?" Fenrir asked. Remus looked at Fenrir. "Yeah I'm fine. This feels nice."

Fenrir snorted. "Would be better if we weren't on our way to murder someone."

Remus shrugged. 

"Hey. How about tomorrow night, you and I take another stroll through the forest, but without the whole killing a Ministry official?" Fenrir asked.

Remus felt his heart beating faster and he was sure that even Vishaka and Jasper, who were a few meter in front of him, could hear it. "S-sure. I'd love that."

Fenrir gave him a small smile.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He's here" Jasper said as they hide in the bushes outside of a small house.

"Why does Voldemort want to kill him anyway?" Remus asked.

"Something about stealing what was his. I was more focused on the fact that I was being tortured," Vishaka snapped. 

"How did this auror even take something from the Dark Lord, anyway?" Remus asked, trying to get his heart rate back to normal. Why was being next to Fenrir effecting him so much?

Fenrir shrugged. "Come on. Let's get this over with."

The four of them walked to the front of the house. "Does this idiot not have any wards up?" Vishaka asked, while shaking her head.

"Easier for us," Jasper said, while trying the door. 

Remus pulled out his wand. "Alohomora." The door clicked open. Remus blinked. "It really is easy for us."

Remus walked into the house first, followed by Fenrir and the others. "No one down here."

Vishaka looked around the room. "Is that a house elf head?" she asked, repulsed. 

"Upstairs," Fenrir whispered.

The four of them quietly crept upstairs. Remus looked into what looked like a nursery, praying that there was no one inside. Remus felt relieved when he saw no one was in there. Except, he felt drawn into the room. He went to the shelf in the room and saw a small, gold cup. Remus picked it up and quickly let go, as if it burned him. It clattered to the floor.

Vishaka walked into the room. "What do you think you're doing, you fucking idiot?" she hissed. Remus pointed to the cup. Vishaka looked at it curiously, before slipping it into her bag. She blowed on her hands afterward. "Damn that's hot."

"We found him," Jasper said while walking into the room. "He's asleep. Fenrir's waking him up."

Remus suddenly felt really uneasy. Can he really kill someone innocent?

As if reading his mind, Jasper said, "Don't worry. Fenrir doesn't let any one of us kill someone purposely. He does it himself."

Remus jumped when he heard a loud scream. Vishaka closed her eyes. Jasper wrapped an arm around her. Remus felt like he was intruding so he went into the man's room.

He saw the auror's dead body and Fenrir leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
