Game Over▬RL 2

Direct Invitation

"Stupify!" Remus Lupin was shot backwards. He landed with a grunt a few feet away from where he stood. His body was still aching from the day before. He wouldn't say it was a tough full moon. It was probably one of the best he's had. They were never bad when he was with the pack. The man tried to stand again, looking over at his attacker. "Well, isn't this a fun coincidence? How's it going, Lupin?"

"Wilson," Remus uttered, pulling himself back up. He was very thankful he had gotten dressed before the event. Unfortunately, he didn't have his wand yet. Too many werewolves were fearful of it. So, he kept it by the same tree by the entrance of the forest. All he could do was get ready to take the next attack. "What do I owe the displeasure?"

Wilson crept closer to the werewolf; his wand still held toward him. "We're going to have a lot of fun together, Lupin."

"I'm glad, I feel like we haven't been getting along."

"Where is Remus!?" Sirius shouted at the man tied to a wooden chair. The silver rope was cutting deep into their wrists, causing blood to trickle to the floor.

"What do you mean?" He uttered out, head facing the Black. His eyes were full of sorrow but neither Sirius nor Renee were falling for it. "I don't understand why you're doing this to me." He cried, hanging his head. Sirius' wand shot up to his neck, having him rip his chin away from the area. Glaring at him, he grunted.

"Siri, that's enough," Ren stated, putting her arm around him.

"That's right. Listen to her, Black. I always knew she whored around with you." He directed his attention to the dark-haired woman. Suddenly rasher, as if his front had dropped. He was no longer playing the role of Remus Lupin.

"Out of the way! Pettigrew, hand me the phial." Moody stretched his hand towards Pete, not taking his eyes from the man in front of him. Renee and Sirius watched from the entrance to the kitchen. Not getting any closer. Peter rubbed his hands together nervously, backing to be beside the two. James and Lily weren't answering Renny's calls, through floo or Patronus. Peter was the only one to respond. Renee was glad that they didn't have to do this alone. Though she thought that Moody would at least bring it back up. He didn't want her too close to the wizard. He tricked her once.

"What if he's gone? I don't know what I'd do." She leant her head onto Sirius' shoulder as they watched Moody pour veritaserum down the intruder's throat. Ren cringed as he spat it up.

"Where is Remus Lupin?" Mad-eye asked, leaning closer to the person.

"Malfoy Manor."

"Is he alive?"

"Barely." That's all he had to say before Renee jumped into action. She gave out a quick patronus, sending it to Alice and Frank. Sirius sent one to Dumbledore. Alastor declared that both Sirius and Renee were meant to stay at the cottage. The latter nearly cursed him out.

"What are we even supposed to do?"

"Just sit and wait I guess."

If Remus survived this, he was going to live every day with joy. A love for life. He was going to celebrate every moment he had left on this Earth. If Remus survived this, he wouldn't go a day without telling Renee Potter that he loved her. Never again. The four days he had been without her in the forest was torture in of itself. Now he was thrown on the ground in front of tons of Death Eaters. He didn't know what day it was or how long he had been in the basement. Which was the first place he ended up. Had been hexed and beaten by the hands of Matthew Wilson. The Ravenclaw had declared that he was the only one to deal with him. But now he was nowhere to be seen.

A darker man lifted Remus' head by his hair and crouched in front of him. He hadn't even realized the commotion around them. Death Eater after Death Eater were apparating out of the room. "You tell them they are to join us. Direct invitation from the Dark Lord himself." He then stood, bringing his mask to his face. Remus' head landed back onto the marble flooring. Which was now painted red by his blood. The man brought his leg back in a swinging motion, letting it encounter the bridge of the werewolf's nose.

The room around Remus changed when he awoke. Turning into something very familiar. He coughed abruptly when he tried to sit up. "Hey, no. Lay back down." A gentle voice erupted from the silence. Now Lupin could see a figure pushing him back into the bed. The smell of cinnamon and vanilla overwhelmed his nasal cavity as Renee kissed his cheek.

"I love you, Sugar." Renee laughed at the nickname, lying down beside her boyfriend.

"I'm so glad Jamie forgot about those stupid names. But I think I do need a codename." Remus pulled her closer, letting her head rest gently on his chest. She hovered over him until he pulled her head down. "I don't want to hurt you." He let his lips fall on the crown of her head.

"You'll only hurt me if you leave me. I can't be away from you anymore." A soft hand ran along her back, soothing both wizards.

"I love you too, Rem. Go to sleep."

"A kiss? Please?" She laughed, turning her attention to his lips. Suddenly remembers the last person she kissed.

"While you were gone, they sent someone with Polyjuice potion. I kissed them because I thought they were you. Then ten minutes later, while I was making them food, Sirius claimed it was someone else. I'm sorry." Remus nodded, looking up at her. She sat with her back straight and arms laid in her lap. Looking as if she was about to cry.

"You don't need to apologize, love; I can't believe they'd think it would work."

"They did send someone with a lot of intel." He sighed pulling her into a kiss. She almost allowed him to deepen it.

"Who was it?" Remus asked, soothing the hair that draped over her forehead.

"Matthew Wilson."

"Oh hey, Moony. I didn't know you were awake. Mad-Eye wants a statement soon. James wanted him to wait until tomorrow." Renee stood, stepping towards the bedroom door. Sirius stepped into the room, holding a large cup of water. He offered it to Remus and he accepted it.

"Jamie's here? Where were they?" Sirius laughed, ruffling her hair.

"A date in the Muggle world, my dear Renny."
