The Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter 14

Nobody said anything for about a minute. Vishaka broke the silence and said in disbelief "Are you serious?"

"Yes. I've had enough of the Death Eaters. They keep killing the other members of our pack. There's only us four left." Fenrir said with a steely look in his eyes. 

Remus looked around thoughtfully. "Alright. What's the plan?"

Jasper looked at Remus's hand. "What do you have there."

Remus held out the ring. "Oh. Fenrir and I found this in a rotting shack in the woods. I felt a pull towards it. A lot like what happened with the cup and that diary."

Vishaka clapped her hands. "Horcruxes!" she yelled. "They're horcruxes. A forbidden branch of magic."

Fenrir groaned. "Can we first go into the room and then worry about the Horcruxes?"

Vishaka raised her eyebrows, "What happened to the fact that it does not exist?"

Fenrir glared at her. She sighed. "Fine. We get upgraded and then we defeat the Dark Lord."

The next day, Remus exited the potions store in Diagon Alley. The streets were mostly empty, with store owners opening their shops for the day. As he walked down the road, he felt a presence behind him. He turned and saw no one there. Weird, he thought.

Suddenly Remus felt light-headed and fell to the ground. He looked up and saw Sirius and James standing over him with their wands pointed at him. Sirius grabbed his left arm. He pushed back the sleeve. 

"What the fuck are you two doing?" Remus said trying to pull his hand away. Sirius muttered a spell, while pointing his wand at Remus's forearm. 

The three of them watched as ink spread across Remus's forearm to form the Dark Mark. Sirius let go of his arm like it burned him. Remus quickly pushed down his sleeve and tried to get his wand, only to discover that James had it. 

Sirius glared at Remus. "How could you, Remus? We were your friends. What did they give you that we couldn't?"

Remus stared at him. Sirius and James had their wands pointed at him. Remus laughed. 

James looked at Remus with disgust. "How long?"

"Since you tried to poison me."

Whatever James was expecting, it wasn't that. "How'd you know about that?"

Remus looked at him incredulously. "You don't even fucking deny it?" Remus got off the ground. Sirius and James take a step back. "I joined the Death Eaters because you fuckers thought I was the traitor and wanted to kill me. You poisoned my drink after the full moon you didn't show up for."

Sirius glared at him. "Dumbledore said that you were passing information on to the Death Eaters. And Dumbledore is never wrong."

Remus laughed. "Of course that old fool thought that. There was a traitor. It wasn't me. It was Peter. But of course you would blame the werewolf. Because they're monsters. They only deserve death. Right?"

"Of course you deserve death. You betrayed us." Sirius yelled. James stayed silent. He lowered his wand a bit.

"I betrayed you. Are you fucking deaf? Peter betrayed the Order. I joined the Death Eaters after you all tried to fucking kill me." Remus yelled back. 

"You still betrayed us." Sirius screamed. 

"Are you fucking kidding? You think I wanted to stick around after almost being fed poison."

"You killed Peter, you monster!"

"He was the bloody traitor. You tried to kill me, yet I'm the monster for killing the actual traitor."

"You did it for the Death Eaters."

"And you tried killing me for the Order."

"ENOUGH!" James yelled. "Remus you tried to kill us at the Malfoy Manor." James trained his wand on Remus. The two of them were about to yell a spell, but was tackled down be a large figure. 

Fenrir held Sirius by the throat and James using his foot. "*If you two bastards touch Remus ever again, I'm going rip your throats out...with my teeth." He let them go.

They scrambled to pick up their wands. James threw Remus wand at him and then apparated away with Sirius. 

Remus picked up the potions that were surprisingly still intact and turned to Fenrir. Before he can say anything, Remus felt himself being hugged by Fenrir. 

Remus smiled. Despite everything that just happened, he couldn't bring himself to regret any of it as he was being hugged by Fenrir.
