Flashback and Patronus Charm

April had just begun and Althea thought about what had happened in the past months as she waited for the morning mail.

Flashback

Remus Lupin woke up tied to a chair, in a room that looked like a mix between a library and a training ground.

He panicked, but within moments the panic turned to anger, in front of him was Sirius, Sirius who had been like a brother, Sirius who had betrayed Lily and James, who had betrayed their family.

But before he could say a single word, that could accuse him, a girl entered his field of vision with a paper in her hand, not just any paper the marauder's map, which they had created while exploring the school, turning his attention away from the map he recognized the person holding it.

Not very tall, ringed raven hair adorned with white feathers and emerald eyes.

Althea their puppy.

Only she wasn't a cub anymore, his wolfish side was whispering to him. She was on her way to becoming a predator and a very dangerous one at that.

Lupin silenced moony, it wasn't the time, he just wanted to free himself, smash Sirius face and above all get Althea away from him.

Althea interrupted whatever he was about to say by shoving the map under his nose, "Sirius could never have betrayed my parents, when he became my godfather he took an oath, an oath on his magic" Lupin listened in shock but when he read the name on the map in Gryffindor tower all thoughts simply fell silent: Peter Pettigrew.

Peter was alive

Peter has hiding

Sirius had sworn the most sacred of oaths, and he was still alive.

He hadn't betrayed them.

Sirius was not the secret keeper

It was peter

For the first time in years Remus and Moony had a common goal.

Peter would pay.

The following day, while Sirius was explaining the finalized plan to take Althea away from the Dursley's clutches. Fred,George and Neville were chasing a rat with the map.

Or rather Fred was directing a prank of epic proportions against Ronald to distract the residents of the tower, while George Released hundreds of frogs in the dormitories (the twins,Neville and Althea would spend the night in the RoR), finally Neville was given the task of taking the rat and putting it in a cage specifically prepared to prevent it from transforming again or escaping, capturing the traitor was extremely simple, after all the rat had no idea that he had been discovered.

Sirius and Remus would have liked to claim that they were the ones who made Peter confess and gave him what he deserved, but in reality Peter was immediately transferred to the Varia's temporary base in england.

Sirius had decided to offer Grimmauld place n 12, he would never have imagined that as soon as his mother's portrait started insulting Xanxus she would not only be silenced in 3 seconds, nor that his mother would do an 180 as soon as she discovered that the man in question was Lord Slytherin, Xanxus decided not to incinerate the painting, listening to the woman and Squalo argue was hilarious.

To his eternal regret however, Walpurga Black and Kreacher decided that he had finally done something good for the family, even if Sirius managed to have the last word, Walpurga had defined his friendship with James Potter horribly, Discovering that his daughter was the half-sister of Xanxus and therefore heir of Slytherin was an absolute slap in the face for the portrait.
While Sirius was arguing with his mother, Viper had started cataloging the objects to evaluate their price and figure out a way to sell them.
