The Werewolf's Cub

Chapter 1 - Simple

Two men are sitting on the couch discussing the ongoing war, they are attempting to decide what the best course of action for their small family is. In the back ground of the large manor you can hear a woman crying . The crying has been going on for almost three weeks but the last couple days have been disturbed by the sounds of retching periodically.

"Siri, can you go talk to her? Ever since the headmaster spoke to us a few weeks ago she has been so stressed and has been incredibly sick the last couple of days. It's been so bad that I can't even let Jamie near her she just starts crying and it makes him start crying and then everything just spirals out of control." The brunette male looked incredibly sad when he asked his best friend to help his wife.

" Why don't you talk to her? I'm a lot less likely to know what to say especially since you never told me what the headmaster said to you."

"I've tried but she just keeps telling me she's sorry and it's all her fault, and I have no clue what she is even talking about. I don't know what to do anymore. I even tried asking her to go see Poppy at the school about her sickness and she just cried harder....."

"James, If she is reacting like that to you , there is no way she will want to speak to me. I know you don't want to think about it but if she's this upset there is only two people she will talk to. One of them I know you will never let into your home but the other can solve all of this. I know your mad at him but he's our best bet for making Lilly feel better."

"NO! Sirius he has been sneaking around and no one knows what hes been doing. What if he's the spy in The Order? What will we do?"

*SMACK* 

James was not expecting Sirius' hand to fly against his face. He looked at the man he considered a brother and was mildly terrified by the look on his face.

" I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! James why the hell do you think Remy would ever betray us? He loves us and he is just as much a brother to me as you are. Why, I just don't understand."

"Dumbledore, he said there is a spy in the order and he doesn't know who it is. Lately he has mentioned that HE has been recruiting the werewolves more and more. Just a day or two ago he mentioned that most of the werewolves have been joining HIS side. Remus has been missing a lot and when we ask him where he is he doesn't really answer. He has even been refusing a couple of missions according to the head master."  The bespectacled man began pacing back in forth in front of his friend as he ranted about their other friend supposed betrayal.

Sirius Black looked over at his best friend and couldn't believe what he was hearing. It just boggled his mind that James would believe Remus capable of being a traitor to his pack. They had known the man since they were eleven and as the four men grew up together he James Peter and eventually Lilly and Jamie had all become part of Remy's pack. Despite his hatred of his mothers teachings, when he was younger he was taught about all the realities of the magical creatures that inhabited their world and he was well aware that Remus would never be able to betray them. No werewolf could betray their pack once the bond finalized and as of six months ago when Jamie was born all of their odd little family's bonds had finalized.

" James, Remus is magically incapable of betraying us. His inner wolf would never let him put his bonded pack in danger... you must know that, right?"

"I thought so too, but why else is he never there,why is he refusing to do missions,why does Albus think its most likely him?"

*Sigh*

The sounds of Lilly Potter have quieted down but the tension in the air of Potter manor is thicker than ever. The two friends ,who are actually cousins of a sort just stare at each other for a few minutes before Sirius shakes his head ,ebony curls bouncing almost listlessly, as he responds to James' questions.
