Snogging Pox

Medicine

Last Time:

"We received a potion from Severus and a note explaining what happened. We are going to kidnap Remus!" Arthur said cheerily. Percy blinked, but soon followed his father ...

XXXXXXXXXX

Remus sighed, "I need a break." He muttered as he apparated to the spot outside Grimmauld Place and went inside. He has spent another week trying to convince any werewolf pack or vampire coven to join the fight against Voldemort and he was so tired. It didn't help that his head seemed to be in a fog he just couldn't shake. It was a fog that has been bugging him for months, but he couldn't bring himself to bring it up and bother Dumbledore who has done so much for him. There was a little guilt gnawing at him for just stopping a little early, but technically he was told to meet Tonks here in a few hours so it wasn't a big deal. At least, this way he could clean up before meeting her.

As he started up the stairs he paused as the smell of blood coming from the kitchen hit his nose. "SOMEONE HELP!" The werewolf jolted down the steps at the scream and ran to the kitchen where he found a bleeding Arthur Weasley laying on the floor and Percy kneeling next to him in a panic. "I can't stop the bleeding!" Percy yelled as he pressed on the deep wound on the abdomen.

"There are potions in the cupboard! Go get those and I'll apply pressure!" Remus yelled, but once he kneeled down to help he turned his back to Percy, who he thought was going to get the potion. That was not the case.

Percy pointed his wand at Remus's back and fired a very strong binding curse at him, "I am sorry, my friend, but since stunners don't work on werewolves I need to be rough." He apologized as he pocketed Remus's wand for safe keeping.

"He won't be mad once we give him the potion. I'll hold his upper body, you take the legs." Arthur said as he jumped up revealing that the bloody wound across his gut was completely fake.

"Watch your hand, Dad." Percy warned as he saw his Dad try to lift the werewolf up without hurting the cut on his hand.

"I'll be fine, Percy." Arthur said as they moved Remus to the floo. "Let's go before anyone gets here. We can force the potion down his throat at home." Arthur said as he lowered Remus for a moment to grab some floo powder. "Nice idea with the blood by the way. I never thought using the twins pranking products to make a wound would work, but it looks real." He said taking a second to admire the wound before flooing the three of them to the Weasley home.

"I know. I surprised myself really, but we still needed real blood to trick that werewolf nose ... speaking of, you should heal your hand before Mom sees that. I'll handle the potion." Percy said as they set Remus on the floor.

Arthur frowned as he felt his hand sting, "Good point. Don't want your mother to skin me for getting hurt." He said with a fond chuckle as he went to get an ointment for cuts. "I left the potion on the table near the snitch."

"Near the snitch ..." Percy mumbled as he scanned the table for the snitch and grinned as he found it and he potion right next to it. "Got it!" He called out as he grabbed it and kneeled down next to the werewolf who was glaring at him despite the binding curse. "I know you're pissed now, but you'll see why we tricked you in a second." Percy aid as he skillfully unlatched Remus's jaw so it hung open and poured the potion in. Though the taste was probably terrible the werewolf refused to swallow, but Percy wasn't surprised really. Anyone drugged with any type of loyalty potion will natural avoid anything that will undo the potion's grip even fighting, which Remus was trying to do by not swallowing. Percy, however, wasn't having it and he pinched Remus' nose shut. "Swallow or choke."

A moment passed, but the need for air grew too strong and Remus swallowed before breathing deeply through his now freed nose, "I'm going to release the binding curse now." Percy said as he saw Remus's eyes tear up.
