Back from the veil

Chapter 20 : necklace and injuries

The order was now moving faster Sirius Fred and Kingsley were assigned to a more serious mission which was following Fenrir Greyback who was spotted in one of the forests outside London. Sirius thought instantly about Remus when he was assigned this mission and wondered how he was doing with the rest of the werewolves. Apparently not great regarding to Greyback. He really hoped his friend was okay but tried to worry less by reminding himself that his friend was quite capable of defending himself and was a very skilled wizard even though he tends to forget it due to his condition.

The three of them left headquarters at five in the morning and apparated in the forest that seemed almost haunted with the morning atmosphere. Sirius could not explain it but he had a bad feeling, like something wasn't normal here.

"What a welcoming atmosphere" half joked Fred

"I was thinking the same" responded Sirius

"Something isn't right here it is clear, if we split ways and something happens remember to send a patronus to us right away and if tsittion goes under control to the headquarters too". Advised Kingsley in a serious tone

They kept going under the desillusionment charm and started hearing voices.

"So as I was saying, if you don't do as we say we won't hesitate biting you and your dear daughter here so you can have a taste at your own medicine, as you were so proud to have help creating the last laws about werewolves" Greyback's voice spoke viciously

Cries from a little girl and laughter from the other werewolves could be heard too but from the spot they were they couldn't see how many they were. Sirius could only see a middle age man which he deduce was an employee of the ministry who worled with Umbrige on the making of the anti werewolves legislation

"Please, stop I don't know anything I swear, I was just doing my job" sobbed the man

"That's exactly what we need you to do. But for our purposes. You see in a short time we won't care about laws anymore cause the dark lord will rise and we'll be freed of your vice against our kind" continued Greyback

"Please, no, please at least let my girl go she hasn't done anything" the man was still sobbing

"You don't seem to understand, I guess  having a werewolf daughter will make you change your mind" said Greyback aggressively and turned to the spot where they were thinking the little girl was.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye "NO !" Said Fred while starting to run on that direction "STUPEFY" he aimed his spell at Greyback but it was already too late. Fred had lost his temper and they were spotted by the enemy. He moved so quickly that he fell to the ground while pronouncing his spell

Greyback was now facing him, his mouth still covered in blood with a cruel smile "Well Well well, I guess we have company" He was walking towards Fred, still on the ground who was trying to wandlessly summon his wand which have fallen a few inches further.

Sirius instantly turned into padfoot and managed to jump on Greyback to bite him so Fred could summon his wand. In the meantime the three other werewolves had spotted Kingsley who was now duelling with both of them, spells aiming everywhere. Fortunately the were not very skilled wizard so he managed to stun one quite quickly. Fred came to help as soon as he was able to retrieve his wand leaving Sirius facing a furious Greyback who really wanted to break the dog that prevented him from attacking Fred in half. He managed to throw padfoot violently against a tree which hurt him enough to make him escape escape a dog cry. But still he managed to get up and run forward Greyback to attack him again.

He managed to get a look at the man and the girl and saw them both immobile on the grass, dead. The man probably hit by a spell and the little girl by the bit. This made him so furious that he attacked more rapidly and precisely Greyback but he finally managed to bit him so deeply that one of his legs was impossible to walk on. He tried one last attack but after the second bit he hit the grass violently, thrown away again and everything went black.
