"Are the magical binds necessary? I'm pretty sure I proved I was on your side by beating all those assholes."
"Shut up, werewolf" Was the response I got.
After sending off the twins and Ginny, I beat up some death eaters. I got hit a few times, so my head was a little fuzzy, but then I saw a ministry official. It was hard to miss him, but instead of thanking me, like he should have done, he had his Aurors bind me with magical rope. Now here we were walking around, looking for survivors and criminals.
"You know, werewolves tend to have a heightened sense of smell," I said.
"And?" The ministry official asked, quite irritated.
"I can find people a lot quicker than most," I said.
He stopped, which made his Aurors stop as well, "And you'll help us?"
"Of course, but I want out of these binds."
"How do I know if I can trust you?"
I sighed, "Look, if Moody didn't trust me, I probably would've been dead a long time ago" I said, "Same with Dumbledore. If he didn't trust me, I wouldn't be attending Hogwarts"
It took a few moments before he sighed and nodded to the auror who bound me. He waved his wand and the invisible ropes around my wrists disappeared.
"Just find someone," The official said. I nodded and lifted my nose, taking in the scents around me. A lot of burnt wood and cloth. The smell was overpowering every other smell due to the sheer amount of it. I switched my focus to my ears and waited. Finally, I heard someone running. I turned to my left and opened my eyes.
"Over there," I started running and was met with the sight of a man murmuring a spell I've never heard before. The smoke in the air took the shape of a skull with a snake. It also turned green. I swore I saw him lick his lips before he ran away
"Dear Merlin!" The official exclaimed.
"I'm going to guess that whatever this is..." I gestured, "Is very bad"
"Extremely bad. That's the mark of the Dark Lord," The female auror with us said.
"Oh goody,": I said sarcastically. I heard more footsteps and turned towards them. It was Harry, Hermione and Ron, "Harry!" I called.
He turned towards me, and I could smell the relief coming off him. With one gesture, the three started running towards us, but the official seemed to have another idea. He and the Aurors started shooting spells at them.
"Stop! That's my son!" As Arthur came to save the day, I saw the twins with Ginny. I sighed in relief, "Ron, Harry, Hermione, Dani, are you alright?"
"Which of you conjured this?" The official
asked, pointing his wand at them.
"You can't possibly think," Arthur started.
"Do not lie! You have been discovered at the scene of the crime!"
"It wasn't them" I tried telling him about the man, but he wasn't listening to me.
"Crime?" Harry asked
"Barty, they're just kids," Arthur tried to reason with the man.
"What crime?" Harry was really confused now.
"It's Voldemort's mark" I pointed at the sky, ignoring the winces around me.
"Those people tonight, in the masks," Harry trailed off, looking around, "they're his too, aren't they? They're his followers."
