The Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter 15

As Remus and Fenrir pulled away, Vishaka and Jasper come running to them. Vishaka was smirking at them. Remus rolled his eyes. "I have the potions. Now let's get out of here."

They all appartate back to the den. Vishaka and Jasper go to the back room to finish perfecting their plan. After they left, Fenrir turned to Remus. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Remus said quickly. 

"Don't lie to me Remus." Fenrir's voice softened. "It's okay to not be fine."

Remus groaned in annoyance. "Well, what do you want me to say? I already broke down on you yesterday and now you had to save me from Potter and Black. You most likely think I'm weak and-" Remus was cut off by Fenrir pressing his lips against his. Remus's eyes widened. 

Before he could respond to the kiss, Fenrir pulled away. "Was that okay?" Fenrir asked. Instead of replying, Remus wrapped his arms around Fenrir's neck and pulled him in for a more passionate kiss. 

They broke apart when they heard a cough. They turned to see Vishaka and Jasper beaming at them. "Took you dumbasses long enough," Vishaka said. "Now come on, we have a Ministry to break into."

"That's the fourth one," Vishaka said as she shoved the last body into an alleyway after taking fistful of hair and the wand.

Remus muttered a spell to make the bodies invisible. "Here give me the hairs." Remus put the hairs into the last potion. The potion turned a murky green color. He passed the vial to Vishaka. 

"Ew. That looks disgusting," Vishaka said, while wrinkling her nose. 

"Trust me it is," Remus said while grinning. Vishaka raised an eyebrow. "How would you know?"

"The Marauders and I-" Remus stopped talking as the memories began to play in his head. Remus remembered the time they used Polyjuice Potion to transform themselves into different teachers and go around and create chaos. That earned them two months of detention.

Fenrir noticed Remus's expression dim and placed a hand on his shoulder. Vishaka looked at Remus guiltily. "Sorry, Remus."

Remus shook his head. "Let's get this over with."

"Bottoms up," Jasper said before tilting his head back and drinking it in one go. Remus closed his eyes as he felt his body morphing into someone else. He felt hair brush pass his shoulders and felt his body grow shorter.

 When he opened his eyes, he sees a short, bald man with a beard, a handsome young man with dark blonde hair, and a woman with very curly hair. The woman felt their hair and face. "I'm a woman," they said. They slapped their hand over their mouth. 

"Jasper?" Remus asked, surprised that his own voice sound so high. 

"Yeah," the woman said.

Remus's eyes roamed over the other two. The bald one was patting their head. "I don't have any hair. I have a beard. What the fuck?" They noticed Remus looking at them. "It's me Vishaka."

Remus's eyes widened and he let out laugh. "So that means you're Fenrir," he said while looking at the other man. Fenrir nodded, "Could have been worse."

The four of them made it to the Department of Mysteries with only one bad interaction with the other Ministry workers. It was at the receptionist's desk, where the worker decided it was a great idea to flirt with Remus, or rather Christina Mallory. He backed off when he noticed the glare he was receiving from Fenrir, or rather Tony Gibbins. 

Vishaka was still grumbling under her breath. They walked through the door of the Department of Mysteries and came face to face with a bunch of other doors.

"Which one?" Jasper whispered. 

Remus felt a pull toward the fourth door. Apparently, Vishaka did also, since she went and pushed that door open. 

When Remus walked in, he saw the moonstone. It looked a lot more magical in real life. It was a large, smooth rock with a blue glow around it. The werewolves stare at it in awe. 

Vishaka clapped her hands. "Well it isn't gonna move itself."
