'What have u done!!' Remus screamed, the tears threatening to spill.
"Nothing we've just made sure," Greyback said shrugging his shoulders.
"Made sure of what?" Remus hissed through his gritted teeth
"You know exactly what betrayal feels like."   ...

He remembered feeling was a cold stone hit his head, and hitting the ground, his eyes were beginning to close and he could feel the drops of blood trickle off of his face, he was facing the poor girl who couldn't even move, her breaths were so uneven and so deep, the blood continued to spill out of her but at a much much slower rate. The sun had set and Remus could feel his body weakening. Why did all of this have to happen today? One of the few days of a month of which he was completely useless. He couldn't even do as little as stretch his hand out to give as little comfort to the girl as he possibly could. Perhaps for once the werewolf side of him would be of some use, give him some strength able to murder all those standing before him. The rage in Remus' mind was undeniable but the strength in him stopped him from doing anything. He was unable to even slightly move his body to turn over and look and familiarise himself with the surroundings once more. 

Out of nowhere he felt a crazy pain in his chest, causing him to scream which just made it worse. He tried standing up but he head was spinning and his eyes were clutched tight. The pain just increased and he  was weak, unable to do anything or even understand what was going on. his mind suddenly became black and the new skin suddenly became familiar. 
He got up and howled into the full moonlit night. Surrounded by humans, the only thing he wanted to do was tear each and every limb apart. He stared at them and saw every single wand raised in his direction. Red light shot right at him from all directions and he fell to the floor. 

(I can't remember if you can stun a werewolf or not but I feel like someone stunned Greyback in the HP series soo I wrote it in)

Alice and James were wandering the streets of a completely unfamiliar place at the dead of night, they were lucky enough to have their wands on them but it proved quite useless as if they were to cast a Patronus as well as alerting their fellow order members it will also catch the attention of death eaters that may be lurking around. And apparition, far too loud in such a secluded area and Dumbledore changes the disillusionment charm on the headquarters quite often so they are at risk of ending up at a random place. Either way neither one of their brains were working properly, their friend was still left captive in the hands of death eaters on such a vulnerable night. Both had felt a great surge of anger towards Dumbledore, though James more than Alice, how could he have allowed this to happen. Right now they're main priority was to get Remus back safe before he was tampered with any more evil.
'Alice, what do we do?' James asked after hopelessly looking around. Alice's face was tear stricken, you could see the lines on her face where the tears had fallen. James immediately went over and hugged her. 
'It's fine,' he whispered into her ear, 'trust me it'll be ok and Remus will be safe as well and before long we are all going to be living in a world with much less evil after the downfall of Voldemort and there will be smaller feet running around our houses as well I hope,' Alice had begun to sob louder as James spoke but the last few words had brought a watery smile onto her face. James wiped the tears off of her face and the two continued walking down the street hoping to find some sort of sign. And with luck, they did, they had just turned a few corners unsure of where to go and saw a bird was perched onto the end on a sign that read, 'Privet Drive'. That name seemed so familiar to James, he continued to think about it for a few minutes before realising that this was where Lily's ungrateful sister and her vermin like husband were. James stopped himself before he started muttering more rude words about his wife's family, though he was sure she would agree with him. As they went closer to the bird, James recognised it immediately as Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, he'd seen it multiple times when he was sent to the headmaster's office for any sort of mischief him and his friends caused. Though the bird looked much more majestic than the last time he had seen him. 
'Hey Fawkes,' James said and in return he got an elegant caw in return, James was hoping that meant he recognised him and he was going to help them. And it did, Fawkes rose up into the sky and the two followed him. 

No one had any time to rest or even say hi after the long journey on which they had to fight a couple of death eaters. They had just gotten the news that Remus had been taken into questioning by the ministry as he was found holding a wand which had been the same one to cast the many curses on the now cold and dead body of the girl they had seen previously. Remus was also found half transformed when they had found him, but the ministry had shut this up as f the public were to find out that there were werewolves lurking in these areas, it could cause a big riot which is unnecessary at this time. It was very clear that Remus couldn't have caused any damage to the girl as he was found half transformed and the wounds cast on the girl were clearly the work of dark magic that required a wand and a werewolf doesn't know how to work a wand, and a werewolf would want to rip apart or bite the human not cast a spell on it. Everyone kept muttering how the ministry were being foolish and weren't looking at the picture but doing what they thought would please the audience. As obvious as it was, the ministry still wouldn't release Remus or listen to the protests by members of the order. They had tried to ask the ministry officials to use veritaserum on Remus, but they believed it wouldn't work because he was a werewolf. Where that logic comes in, no one has a clue. Not to mention, Remus wasn't recovered at all as despite the stunning spells were shot at the werewolf, it was still Remus on the inside so it had affected him as well. 

For the next few days, that's all that went on : making sure Remus was recovering fine, helping him get out of the ministry captivity before they sent him to Azkaban, and providing proof to the ministry to show that Remus couldn't have committed those murders. But of course the ministry were too full of themselves and didn't believe a word they said. 
They were unwilling to even listen to Dumbledore and whenever he asked them to talk, they wouldn't reply so Dumbledore decided to go to the ministry himself no matter how many rules he was breaking. 

They weren't expecting an easy way in but they definitely weren't expecting the ministry to threaten Dumbledore out, but luckily enough for them Dumbledore wouldn't budge and in return he threatened them back, he shouted at them saying how foolish they were to believe a student like Remus would do such a thing and how they were so invested in caring about their reputation that they couldn't see the evidence that had been placed in front of their eyes. Having been badmouthed in public by a wizard the majority of public respected a lot, the ministry had changed their minds and instead of taking him to Azkaban they decided to keep him in a room for a few days and then release him. To Dumbledore this seemed like the best option they will get despite the protests from the younger youths.
