"War does bad things to good people."
Marlene Lupin-Black, running from the Death Eaters but this time she's fighting from the inside of the enemy.
Making new friends and allies is hard especially when you don't know who to trust

The next morning Marlene woke up on the floor of the basement, she sat up and realised there were no broken boxes or blood on the walls, "Alex?"
"Yeah, I'm here, thought I'd wait for you." Alex said as he was sitting against the wall
Marlene sat up pulling the blanket over her, "Thank you for this...last night, I remembered some things. I remembered where I turned before this and who I was with."
"Because they tortured you, not the wolf." Alex said as he walked over to her and held out his hand, "Come on, I think it's Carina's Day to cook."
Marlene took his hand, and he pulled her up, "Thanks for not killing me by the way."
"What kind of friend would I be?"
. . . . . . . .
After changing the pair walked into the kitchen where there was food all over the table, "Oh my Merlin, yes." Alex laughed as he sat down with a plate
"Who?" Marlene asked as she sat down
Carina nodded over to the cupboard, "He won't admit it, but I saw him down here earlier cooking. Saying something about Mistress Black would need it."
Marlene smiled as Kaz and Marcel walked in, "Coffee. Is needed." Kaz said as he walked over to the pot, "You two feeling okay?"
Alex nodded as he ate some bacon, "All good. We didn't kill each other, and good news, Lene remember some bits."
Carina smiled as she turned the radio on, "That's amazing. Let's see what your friends have to say this time."
"Hello and Welcome to another Potter Watch. Today we are talking about undesirables. The Ministry has licenced so called "Snatchers" to hunt down and bring in anyone who is deemed to be undesirable."
"That describes everyone in this house." Alex said
"Well technically I'm dead, so not Undesirable." Marlene said
Kaz chuckled and said, "To the world you're dead. To the Death Eaters you're undesirable."
"So, to all those who find themselves being unjustly labelled Undesirables we here at Potterwatch salute you! And to all those people who really are Undesirable. Your time will come. Now for the list of people who are considered Undesirables if any of you are listening and have been unfairly labelled stay strong. Onto the names: Alexander Fenwick, son of a Death Eater so who knows what his status it."
Alex looked at the radio, "My situation is I'm a werewolf so my dad hates me."
"Carina Hopkins. She hasn't been seen or heard from in weeks. Carina if you're listening you're grandad's worried about you."
Marlene saw Kaz put his hand on Carina's shoulder, "You'll see him soon Cari."
"Kaz Lauder. Another Death Eater son, so who knows. As always Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Undesirables number one, two and three. Tracy Cadogan, Toby Gifford, Nina Hatton. And finally, as a request from one of our own. Marlene Lupin-Black, if she's not dead which we don't believe she's an undesirable. So, if any of you are listening get in touch. People miss you."
Angus then apparated into the kitchen, making everyone jump, "Carina, Kaz. Snatchers are waiting. Good luck."
Kaz sighed as he put down his cup, "I can never finish my coffee. Ever." He took Carina's hand and they apparated out of the kitchen
. . . . . . . . . . .
Later that day, Marlene was sitting on her bed with the video camera
"You know I have a saying with my brothers touch my stuff you die. Sometimes I think you're not even listening to me it is a pretty clear instruction but not for you apparently-"
Marlene was cut off by James grabbing the camera, "James!"
"There we go. Uncle James here."
"I didn't say you could use it!"
James scoffed and said, "What do you mean? Lily and Pads got to. Baby McKinnon-Black she's picking favourites again."
"I will pick your brain from your skull. I'm tired and emotional right now don't go and snitch on me to my unborn child James."
"Holy Hippogriff remind me never to piss you off. Nice tip doesn't piss off your mother she's violent." James said
"That is the smartest thing you have said all week."
"Fine jeez take it back then. I'll see you when I see you baby Marlene." James said as he handed the camera back
Marlene came back onto the screen, "When you are here and able to, I am going to teach you so many ways to mock the man."
"Pads?" Marlene said to herself, "Dad."
She flicked through a few more videos until she saw one that had a younger Sirius in it
"New day a new person who want's to say hi. I don't even know why he wants to he's going to be there the whole time but-"
"McKinnon!"
"Right now are you kidding me?"
The camera was taken from Marlene and Sirius came on the screen, "Hello baby me and Marlene."
"You are a rabid dog."
Sirius smiled, "She loves me really."
"I'm watching you."
"I don't know what she is talking about. She's let everyone else on here."
"Yeah that's because I like them. You I tolerate. You know we can't leave the house, right?"
Sirius nodded, "Yes I know we can't leave the house. Constant Vigilance and all that nonsense."
"Oh Moody he listens to how does he do it?"
"Anyway. Usual stuff here. Can't wait to meet you, the little happy accident."
"Don't call her that!"
Sirius looked off the camera, "Her? You think it's a she?"
