Monster (Marauders Era)
Rachel Wagner doesn't want to have anything to do with the Marauders. She wants to stay the quiet, ignored girl that she was since she started school.
But when she and Remus Lupin begin studying together at the library every night, she wonders if all the Marauders are as bad as Sirius and James.
Meanwhile, a brilliant and powerful wizard named Tom Riddle is gaining followers all the time. He is looking for excellent wizards all around England to carry out his duties. He decides to look at Hogwarts first, disguising himself as a temporary Herbology teacher. Few students even know about Tom Riddle's growing power, and not many of them are willing to warn others about “Professor Delrid.” Luckily, one of them happens to be Remus John Lupin, who is willing to tell Dumbledore about this either brilliant or monstrous wizard. But what happens when Rachel finds out about Remus's “furry little problem,” and Rachel decides to confide in Professor Delrid?

Chapter Twenty-Eight - Remus
Chapter 29
We scurried through the halls,
under a clear cloak. The Invisibility Cloak. As we got closer to the
library, I tried taking deep breaths. Didn't work. I was about to
tackle Voldemort. There was no way to calm down.
We rushed through the door
and ducked behind a bookshelf. Rachel peeked her head out and
searched for Voldemort.
She finally found him
crouched by a desk, grasping at his shoulder where I aimed the hex.
Injured him, but didn't kill him.
Dumbledore nodded at us. We
tore the cloak off of us and raced in different directions. Lily and
Rachel scurried to the entrance and blocked it. Dumbledore and I
raced to Voldemort, wands ready.
Voldemort's wand was still in
Dumbledore's office. He was defenseless, helpless. We could have
killed him then.
But we didn't.
None of us spoke as
Dumbledore mumbled a spell and guided the wizard with his wand. We
went out of the castle, past the lake, and into Hogsmeade.
“We can Apparate here,”
he said. We nodded and held hands.
“One, two, three!”
I opened my eyes to see clean
walls and floors. People bustling all over. This could only be the
Ministry.
Voldemort's disguise began to
fade until he was Tom Riddle again. Dumbledore held him up with his
wand and led us to Minister's Office.
He didn't knock. He just
walked in and smiled a little.
“We found him,” he said.
The Minister nodded grimly.
“Take him to Azkaban. Hello
and Good-bye, Tom Riddle. You shall always be my favorite dark
wizard.”
