The Marauders Story- 1971-72

Fenrir Greyback

"I don't understand you, Hope, why would you destroy me like that?" Lyall asked Hope, the night of his speech.

"Look, Lyall, I really did believe you but that little girl, Isabella, she sparked something inside of me. She was held at knife point but still remained calm. She faced death inches from it yet she sparked hope.

Also I can't believe you faced the crowd with a sombre expression and said that you would kill us, Lyall! We would still be human, you can't simply do that, would you?

I mean the little girl spoke so much truth that what she said was true 'innocent people are transformed into hideous beasts' and that famous line 'They don't choose the wolf, the wolf choses them!'

why can't you just see it? that not all werewolves are bad and that fenrir was once a little boy like remus, he had a mum and a dad and probably siblings he is a human not a monster"

Lyall stared at her then took a sip from his wine contemplating Hope's questions.

"Yes hope i would, i would put you out of you're misery and i form it as suicide so than your honor and respect isn't ruined, and no you'd no longer be anything to me, i've already told you this you'd become a monster nd nothing less. I'd hope you would understand my reasons because I'd be keeping all the other innocent people safe from the monster that you and your kind would be."

Hope drunk the rest of her cider, choking back tears she mumbled.

"I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to Zoë's to organise Remus's birthday party." Hope left with a short kiss on the cheeks then went to the garage and zoomed off into the dark night to seek comfort in her adoptive sister and best friend.

Little remus came out just as hope was leaving. "Daddy where's mummy going?"

"She's going to Aunty Zoë's she'll be theri all tomorrow when you're going to go over, now off to bed my little wizard"

And with that Remus went to bed obediently, sleeping deeply the next morning excited to go to aunty Zoë's; she was by far his favourite aunty.

Remus woke up and knocked on Lyall's door. "Daddy, can I go to Aunty Zoë's now?" Remus asked his father.

"Yes, you may."

With that Remus was in his Aunty Zoë's house and just as quickly Lyall left.

"Aunty Zoë! Grandma jen! Grandpa alfred! Great-grandpa george! Great-granny astor! Great-pa just! Grandest-granny nelly! Grandest-pa george! Dubble grandpa fred! Double grandma ophie! Uncle rod! Aunty edith! Uncle jack! Cousin mary! Andrew! Vic! Esther and cousin will!" remus said each family members name full of joy and hoped into each of their arms

"Mummy! I missed you!" Remus said lastly, giving hope the biggest hug.

"Aunty Zoë, where is Uncle Eric?" remus asked his favourite aunt

"He's with Aunty Erica, he'll be coming back soon with her."

Remus scrunched his nose up at this, he didn't like any of uncle's sisters, he had two Erica and Sharon the two were easily his least favourite aunts. They weren't technically related to him only by law, but aunty Zoë and mum really like them. Zoë sent him a look and he understood, he will have to be kind to his aunts, no matter what.

"Right, who wants to bake a chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and lemon curd cake with me?" Zoë asked the group, Remus' hand shot into the air lighting fast, it was his favourite cake ever as the flavour never got boring and it actually tasted really well. Zoë knew this, and that was why she was baking the cake as a practice for her favourite nephew's birthday.
