Yes Master // Wolfstar

Chapter 7

The next day it rained so the sparring was canceled as Sirius preferred to spar outside where it was more spacious. Remus was currently on his way to fetch some clothes for the prince he heard  his name be called out. He turned to see the King approaching him. He bowed "How may I serve you Sire?" Remus asked

"Oh I require nothing from you I merely came to pass along some information" King began "Tonight is a full moon, me and my family usually go for a run but do to the rainfall we will be staying indoors, now he may have control over his change, but I fear my son will most likely become irritable. So I want you to have the cane I gave you on your person at all times, understood?" There was no malice in his voice only concern.

"I understand your Majesty" Remus nodded "Thank you for the warning"

"I will let you get back to your duties then" the king said as he turned and walked away. Remus smiled and went back along his way to retrieve the clothes.

He returned to the Princes quarters and sighed when the prince was staring out the window. Remus set the clothes on the couch and then stood behind the prince.

"It's the full moon tonight" Siriussaid as he watched the sun set.

"It is your Highness. King informed me that your family will be staying indoors despite your usual tradition to go for a run" Sirius nodded

"I have nothing further for you" Remus sighed and sat down on the carpet taking his head into his hands.

"I can smell your sadness..it reeks..what is the matter?" The prince inquired turning to the servant.

"So far of being here the only moment I have spent outside the castle is when you were sparring with lord James..I miss the fresh air" Remus confessed. The prince nodded but said nothing. They both remained in silence..soon Remus fell asleep.

He awoke to the Prince growling, he quickly opened his eyes to see Sirius shifted growling at him..mere inches from his face. Remus' eyes widened in fear. "Prince it's just me..I'm not a threat" he did his best to keep his voice calm as he slowly raised his hands to show peace. The wolf didn't move as Remus slowly stood and made his way to the bookshelf where he kept the wolfsbane cane. He had made it as far as the door when the werewolf charged him. He managed to leap back and grab the door handle in time as Sirius landed where he had been just seconds earlier. He threw open the door and took off sprinting down the hallway. He knew this in futile but he had to try. He made it to the throne room before he was tackled from behind. He began screaming for help as Sirius howled. Soon the entire Hale family except for Voldemort surrounded them. All baring their teeth and their claws extended.

"Let him go Sirius" Queen ordered. Sirius just growled and leaned against the servant. Remus could feel hot breath against the back of his neck.

"Please Sirius ..just let me go" Remus begged. He yelped as he was flipped onto his stomach now he could see how Sirius's radiant grey eyes scowled at him. His arms instinctively flew to cover his face as the wolf lunged. Suddenly the weight that was once on top of him disappeared, he opened his eyes to see Sirius's still growling form though now with a look of surprise rocket towards the high ceiling of the throne room. The werewolf's body slammed into the marble with a loud crack before falling back down to the floor, landing beside Remus with a whine. Everyone turned to Remus who could only look at the unconscious wolf in shock and horror. He yelped in surprise as his arms were seized and secured behind him. "Take him to the dungeons" Queen ordered "and gag him" she added. Before Remus could plead a cloth was tied around his head silencing him.

He sat in his dark and damp cell for what he guessed were four days based off the setting and rising of the sun. No one had come to visit him, the only interaction he had was when someone opened the slot in his cell door to push a tray of fruits which he would devour with in seconds.

One day he was curled up in the corner when the door opened and he flinched. Four guards entered and grabbed him before dragging him out without a word.

He found himself being thrown in front of the royal family. He landed on his stomach and struggled to get to his knees but no one said anything. Finally when he managed to achieve the kneeling position Queen spoke.

"Remus John Lupin you are here to plead your case before us, you are being charged with not only concealing your magical abilities from the royal family but also using your abilities against Prince Sirius..what do you have to argue in your defense" Her voice was filled with anger but also curiosity

"Please your Majesty..I didn't...."his voice was hoarse and raspy from days without sufficient water. "I didn't know I had abilities..I swear" tears began forming in his eyes and he bowed his head in an attempt to conceal his traitorous emotions.

"His heart beat is steady mother" regulus commented which made Remus want to run over and hug the Prince.

"He could have learned how to calm it when telling a lie" Voldemort countered. Remus didn't see as all the royals turned to their king and queen waiting for them to make the final decision.

"Take him to the dungeons..chain him to the wall" King ordered. Now Remus did nothing to stop the tears as they flowed and fell to the ground.

As soon as the doors were closed and Stiles had been dragged out Regulus flew to his feet. "He wasn't lying and you sent him to the dungeons...we preach that we are fair and kind to our subjects and yet we just threw one into darkness because he used magic that he didn't know he had" Regulus growled before storming out of the throne room. Lily too rose and growled at her uncle. "As if someone like him would know how to maintain his heartrate Uncle" She turned to her younger brother "And you, you are just gonna sit there as this happens, as he cries and pleads..you're the one who attacked him..you're the one who pinned him. you're the one who lunged at him..he defended himself" And she too left the throne room in anger.

Sirius turned to his parents. "What is going to be done to him?" he asked. His father and mother looked at each other in silent conversation

"He'll be kept in the dungeons until further notice" his mother said. Sirius sighed and rose from his seat and exited the room.  He found himself entering his quarters and sitting on the couch..

"What have I done?" he asked himself out loud.
