The Lost Story Of Lucy Black (Book 4 of Danni Hope)

Chapter 26: Suspion

Lucy woke up the next morning to snoring. She smiled, remembering the night before- everyone was okay, and She had living proof that her dad wasn't the killer.
Lucy poked her dad, a grin on her face, "Padfoot!"
Sirius jumped, looking around until his eyes settled on Lucy, "Your awake."
Lucy nodded, "Yeah, and your free! right?"
Sirius sighed, "No, the ministry is hunting me down at the moment."
Lucy tried to stand but put a hand to her head and sat back again, "I can justify that it was Peter, I have the memory-"
Sirius sighed, "Lucy, they won't trust anyone who had contact with Danni at the moment."
Lucy slammed her fist into the wall," It's not fair! It's not fair that...that... Bitch ruined everything!"
Sirius stood up, towering over his daughter, "Don't speak about your mother that way!"
Lucy put her head in her hands, "She ruined everything. She got my grandparents and uncle killed, betrayed me in so many ways-"
"She killed my cousin,Nacrisca too. I forgave her for that. She killed my father too. She killed a lot of people Lucy. A lot of people."

Three men sat around a old card table.
One had dark black hair and sliver eyes, with tan skin and a scared face full of maliciousness. He wore the clothes of a beggar. His name was Fenir Greyback.
The next one wore a black suit with a red tie. He had dark aubergine hair and ruby red eyes, with skin paler then snow. He spun a pen in between his fingers. His name was Jerome Durk.
The last one was the oddest of the three. He wore a gold and black t-shirt with black skinny jeans, as well as two black fingerless gloves. He wore one black sneaker and one gold one, both of the laces white. His hair was golden one the sides, and very long, but the middle was a black strip that was extremely short. He was a dark man with eyes that glowed gold. His name was Cleon, just Cleon.
"How did our plan fail?" Fenir growled, his hands denting the table.
Jerome rolled his eyes, "I don't think we had recalled Selinaes offspring being that closely related to Dan-"
"No," Cleon spoke, his eyes closed as he laid across the table, "Mitch had given Tobian those powers, not Selinae. Well except for the mind reading."
"Mitch?" Jerome snarled, "He's a windcarso, of course he would give his only son those powers."
Cleon turned to Fenir, "Jerome hadn't know the boy would be what he is, so tell me, why did you get defeated by a little girl?"
"She was a werewolf too," Fenir snarled, "Its rare for a child to be a werewolf and live after birth."
Cleon shook his head, "I know the Hope blood well, Fenir. Snow is Remus and Icess's daughter. Danni is connected to both lines. They can't have the Unforgivables used against them with out a rip point- Lucy's brand for example."
"Danni has a scar on her head. Snow has a scar she got when she was little. Remus and Icess have their bite scars. James has his death scar, Lilly a scar she got while she was in transfiguration. Citrus has a thousand little scars on his back. Peter used to have one across his hand before I killed him. I have one as well. Danni doesn't know her cat is trying to kill her. Makes my life ten times easier."
Jerome raised a brow, "What about Mitch?"
Cleon's fists clenched, "I haven't found his out yet. He knew I was bad from the first time he met me."
Fenir sat up in his seat, "Well? What are we waiting for? Let's kill these idiots!"
Cleon shook his head and sat on the edge of the table, "No. Not yet. They know we are after them. No, we wait for Tom Riddle to make his move."
Fenir and Jerome nodded.
"He always made the first move," Cleon said softly.

Remus ran his fingers along the spines of the books, stopping once and a while to check its contents.
"Find it yet?" Came a low meow.
Remus whipped around with his wand raised and sighed when he saw the ghostly cat , "It's only you, Zero."
"Only me. It's always only me," Zero meowed and floated onto the shelf.
Remus went back to the books, "No. I haven't found it. But, Zero...how did you die?"
Zero sat down, "Cleon. He was verbally attacking Tara. I tried to stop him. But...he won. He got her to kill herself."
"I'm sorry," Remus said, stopping his search. Zero floated over to a book on the third row.
"This is the book your looking for: Most Wanted Criminals By Jose Blackheart," Zero meowed, putting a paw though it.
Remus grinned, "Thanks Zero."
"Anything to get that basterd caught and put away."

August 5th, 1981
Remus pushed his way though the crowd, begging and calling out. His friends- the seven other marauders- were pushing their way though the crowd, getting further and further way from him.
"Ringtail! Padfoot! Prongs! Wormtail! Frost! Snow!" Remus called. He tripped and fell, and kept on falling.
The image changed, and Remus was now surrounded by his friends. Remus gave a sigh of relief, "Thank Merlin."
Frost smiles softly at him, her light blue hair in a small braid on the back of her head. Her image slowly faded.
Ringtail is shaking, her hands twitching at her sides, her hair no longer it's usual sliver but blood red.
She let out a scream of terror and fell to the ground, withering in pain before fading as well.
"Danni!" Remus cried, going towards her, but Sirius pushed him back.
"You killed her. Your the bloody traitor! Peter was right all along!" Sirius roared, slamming Remus back.
Remus stumbled into James who pushed him away, "Stay away from my family!"
Remus turned to Peter, "You think I'm the traitor?"
Peter laughed, "Of course! Why wouldn't the werewolf be the traitor?"
Remus stepped back, his foot hit something and he turned to see baby Harry. Harry started to bawl.
"Remus? Remus! Man wake up!"
Remus' eyes snapped open and he stared wide eyed at James.
James glasses were crooked on his face, a few various scars littering his face from when he was a Auror. Remus latched on to James, hugging him and sobbing into his shoulder. James sighed and sat down next to him, wrapping his arms around him.

"I'm sorry," Remus sobbed.

James just kept holding him,"How did you last this long with out any of us?"

"I met Remember Rose," Remus said,"Sirius' twin sister. She didn't die till about six months ago. She was attacked by Greyback. She died during her transformation."

James sat silently for a moment, "You loved her more then my sister didn't you."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Just stay with my sister now."
