Remus had spent the better part of a week being interrogated and re-introduced to Fenrir's pack. But Fenrir had always liked him, and some of the others who remembered him had been happy enough to accept him back. The plan had worked, so far. Today was the day he was in the most danger.

Remus moved through the halls of Hogwarts with the rest of the people Fenrir had selected to accompany him to Hogwarts, limping just a little from the torture that had been meant to make him confess anything he'd done wrong. He'd been through worse. It hadn't been as bad as what could potentially happen to him here.

Fenrir was looking forward to having his wolves in Riddle's school, even if Riddle didn't want him to stay personally. The man got too uptight about his kids. He led his wolves up to Riddle's office and knocked on the door.

	Tom had been expecting Fenrir to bring his wolves any day. He knew the other man worked on his own time, even if he hated it. He wanted him to work on his time. But, he digressed. When he heard the knock on his door, he waved a hand and opened it, looking at the man and the wolves he'd brought along. "Are these our new guards?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Yes," Fenrir said, looking at his wolves and smiling, then looking back at Riddle. "They won't eat anyone, although some of them are a little disappointed that that's a requirement of the job. There's one thing." He gestured for Remus to come forward, nodding in approval when he obeyed readily, keeping his eyes downcast.

"This is Remus Lupin," he said. "Says he's been under Imperius. He came back to the pack and we've been... questioning him using our own methods, but I know you've got other ways of making people talk."

Remus was doing his best to look the part of a shamed dog. He kept his occlumency shields up high around his memories of Sirius and Regulus, but left everything with Moody where it would be easily accessible. Especially the times Moody had cast Imperius to have Remus practice throwing off the spell.

	Tom hummed thoughtfully as he looked the man over. He seemed genuine. "Perhaps you only saw him while you were in Knockturn and you found him attractive. I'm sure that's it. He was only a fleeting memory." He put a finger under Lupin's chin and pushed him up so he was looking at him. "Is there anything else you want to say to me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus nodded. "Of course, my Lord," he said. He looked down at his hands. It would be for the best if he wasn't seen getting close to Merlin Riddle anyway. He could still observe. And see what Regulus thought he was doing playing around with June Riddle. "I'll keep my distance. I promise." Fenrir smiled and offered Riddle his hand. "We have a deal then, Riddle?"

	Tom nodded and looked Fenrir over. His hand was filthy, but Tom knew he had to make certain sacrifices to make people happy. He eyed the hand a moment more, then shook it and nodded again. "We have a deal, Greyback." Tom looked back at the man. "Any children I see unfit for Hogwarts will be considered by you and your pack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought you would be very pleased with this. Yes." Tom smiled at the wolf and patted him on the shoulder, watching dirt and dust fly out of his shoulder. He cleared his throat. "Your growing pack will prove beneficial when we move our cause to Bulgaria this spring." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mycardigan 2012-10-11 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll be happy to help you take Bulgaria," Fenrir told Riddle, smiling at him and exposing a mouth full of pointed, yellow teeth. "There's more forest there for us to stretch our legs in. The pups will like that. When they're fresh turned they have trouble with their bloodlust. There are lots of lovely people for them to eat in Bulgaria." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Merlin felt disgusted by his own father. He grabbed Remus by the arm and drug him from the office. "I'll show you where your room is. Not that I want you here. You better not go near my friends or I'll have you executed. And fed to your fellow dogs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mycardigan 2012-10-11 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	Remus looked down at Merlin as he was dragged. "I wouldn't dream of doing anything that might not meet with you or your father's approval," he told him. "I'll stay clear of your friends. Your father's already ordered me to stay away from you. You're very good at legilimancy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2012-10-11 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't give me that shite, Lupin. Do you think I believe that you work for Fenrir Greyback?" He asked as he stopped and began to look into Remus's mind. He shook his head. "Why would anyone want to serve a man who has molested them since they were children?" Merlin shook his head. "I am not an idiot. You won't pull one over on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2012-10-12 01:07 am UTC (link)
	Merlin could see the things that Remus was allowing him to see. "You're awfully good at putting up walls. Even my father didn't notice them." He told him and shook his head. "I don't care what you had to do to get money. Do you think I care? You're even more disgusting than I thought you were previously." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Draco is not just my friend. He is the love of my life." Merlin informed him with a haughty tone. He crossed his arms over his chest. "And one day, he and I are going to get married. Because I love him. And that's all you need to know. Okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mycardigan 2012-10-12 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Remus agreed easily, smiling at Merlin. "I didn't know. I'm impressed that you've managed to keep your relationship out of the papers. Although your father and Abraxas Malfoy do keep a close eye on what they print. Perhaps it's not so surprising. From what I remember, I think everyone else thought Malfoy was in a relationship with Pansy Parkinson." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2012-10-12 05:06 am UTC (link)
	"He's not." Merlin felt offended that people thought Draco was with Pansy Parkinson. "She's a twit. And not worthy of ever being Draco's wife. The most she's good for is giving him children, but I won't even allow her to do that." He paused. "Stop talking about my friends. I don't like that you're trying to talk about them."

	A disgusted look crossed his face. "What are you?" He asked, shaking his head. "If you aren't even a good wolf, how are you going to be good at anything? What are you going to do? Sit around and bake scones?" He sniffed and looked away from him, pulling open a door. "You'll be staying here. Beside my chambers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mycardigan 2012-10-12 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Remus paused as he looked at the door. "I thought you and your father both wanted us to keep our distance," he said. "You've made your feelings on wolves in general and me in particular very clear. You'd probably be more comfortable without one beside you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2012-10-12 06:26 am UTC (link)
	Merlin stepped into the room with Remus and arched a brow. He took a look around, then pointed at the door in the corner. "That leads to my room. But, it will remain locked if I have company. Don't make yourself known." He looked down at Remus. "Where are your bags?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2012-10-12 06:35 am UTC (link)
	"You're-" Merlin wrinkled his nose at that. "You're going to wear the same outfit every day?" He asked and then shook his head. "That's disgusting. I'll make sure my father gives you... some sort of uniform." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mycardigan 2012-10-12 06:40 am UTC (link)
	Remus laughed again. Sirius had reacted similarly when he'd first really realized what being a werewolf was like, although his solution had been continually offering to buy Remus new clothes. "You'll have to tell the other wolves to bathe," he said. "Fenrir doesn't believe in washing. I still have the habit from before I was turned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	merlinsbeard 2012-10-12 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll have to share my bath." Merlin told Remus as he looked him over carefully, then shrugged. "It's between our rooms. Make sure to knock before you come in and if I'm with someone, don't even bother knocking. I'll be occupying the bathroom for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mycardigan 2012-10-12 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Remus held in a snort at that, nodding and doing his best to look like he was taking Merlin seriously. "Of course," he said. He looked back at Merlin for a moment, studying him the same careful way Merlin was looking at him. "You must really not trust me if you're willing to share your things like this."
