Soon enough, the door burst open and Fenrir Greyback emerged from the door. Lupin had called Greyback to him, with a wolf whistle. Fenrir Greyback had the wands of the trio dangling in his pocket. He also had a vial of pink liquid which looked like polyjuice potion.
”Remus, what brings you here?” Greyback snarled.
”Why is Harry’s wand in your pocket? Or a better question, why are they here?” Lupin said raising his arm at Fenrir.
”Kids, they wander off. Sometimes, they had to be punished for their relations actions. Did you know that she’s a Mudblood?” Fenrir said pointing at Hermione.
Lupin’s face turned pale as Fenrir mentioned children being punished for their relations actions. He raised his wand in the air and sent a stunner at Greyback. Greyback dodged and deflected the red beam at Shacklebolt.
”Oh no you don’t, sonny.” Shacklebolt said, sending a blue spell at Fenrir. Stuck, with no means of escape, he apparated.
Harry looked at Hermione, then Ron and finally Lupin.
”He’s got our wands, we need to get him.” Harry said.
”Harry, don’t worry. Did you try and apparate before we came?” Lupin asked.
”Yes, but it didn’t work. Why did it work for him?”
”Well, once you are more experienced at apparating, you can trick security measures. But sure enough, he will appear in a few moments.” Lupin said as a mini explosion occurred where Greyback was standing last. He reappeared and now he was trapped.
Lupin sent a spell at him, along with Shacklebolt and Harry. Greyback felt to the floor hitting his head on the wall. Remus walked up to the corpse of the Death Eater and emptied the pockets. He handed the trio their wands back, and poured out the vial of polyjuice potion on the floor.
With the noise of footsteps from the far door, Remus sent a patronus in the direction of the other members of the Order.
”It’s not safe, we should go. The others will understand the message. C’mon, before anyone else gets hurt.” Lupin said with a fearful tone, looking at the corpse of Fenrir Greyback.
They slowly walked out of the building through the fake wall in the burning room. After a short walk they were clear from any spells affecting the house.
Just before they apparated, Lupin looked at Harry.
”Well done, your dad would have been proud at the way you handled the situation today.” Harry smiled as a tear came to Lupin’s eye. With a flash, they were out of sight.

They arrived at the Hogsmeade station and made their way back to the headmaster’s office. Whilst they were walking, the second group from the trip joined them and they walked together to the castle.
The crowded office of the headmaster was noisy. Many people from the ministry were stood at the desk, or looking around trying to spot the headmaster. As they entered the room, everyone became silent. Rufus Scrimgeour looked at Harry, and then Orios.
”Where have these children been?” He asked, glaring at Professor Orios.
Professor Orios looked at him and chuckled. He slowly made his way to his desk, took a seat and poured himself a glass of pumpkin juice. After finishing it, he cleared his throat.
”Rufus, I would say that it’s nice to see you, but should I? I’m guessing that you walked into my office with no permission, and now you demand to know where myself and a few of my staff and students were? We went on a trip, which doesn’t concern you. Now can you please leave? I want to have a word with the students, privately.”
Harry looked at Professor Orios in amazement. He had just kicked the minister of magic out of his office, and he was chuckling about it.
Scrimgeour face turned a violent shade of red as he was told to leave, but he did what he was told. With a few of his friends from the ministry, they walked out of the office whilst muttering something under their breath.
One more post till the next chapter, woohoo.
