Lupin.

"Ah! Young love... so annoying." Sirius said as he watched Hermione and Pansy leaving for Hogwarts alongside Snape as Draco sat in the same place quite with a bitter smile on his face.

"Oh! Finally decided to come out of hiding?" Draco asked snickering as he turned back, "Are you really that afraid of Professor Snape?"

"Afraid of Snivellus? Me?" Sirius laughed, "I survived Azkaban, do you think I'd be afraid of him? If you have forgotten I am a wanted criminal that's on the loose and I can guarantee you that the moment he notices me, he will do everything in his power to send me back even if it meant exposing our little charade. And I think we have already got enough on our plate right now."

Draco just laughed and shook his head as he took out the letter Snape gave him. Sirius didn't think much and decided to look to see a family picture. There was Draco sitting in the front with Lucius and his cousin Narcissa behind Draco holding two babies.

"Aren't they cute?" Draco asked looking at the family portrait. "They're not even a year old."

Sirius didn't reply as he shook his head, "So why send a picture to you now? It's not going to be of any use is it?"

"Of course, it is." Draco said walking towards the fireplace as he threw the picture in.

Sirius watched the picture burn as a lot of smoke began building up when suddenly an image formed on the smoke. Sirius obviously recognized the face as he watched what the figure had to say:

"Draco, according to the plan we've gone into hiding but we want you to come back as well." The image on the fire who was none other than Lucius said, "Since we're in hiding we don't have access to outside information as well but as far as we know, all hell's breaking loose. Your mother's worried sick and so am I. Though I want you to come back, knowing you, I am sure you wouldn't so other than providing you with help, I can't help you anything else."

"The few of my men who are trustworthy are gathered in our usual base, you can use them how you want to. Also, you have another trouble following behind you. The Veela Queen, from the forest you were in, wants revenge. I tried to find information on her but couldn't as the men I had sent after her, turned out dead one after another. The Veela Queen isn't so simple after all. So I want you to watch out for her as well."

"And last but not least stay safe and come back alive. At least, for your mother."

"Well, he's less annoying than I remembered." Sirius snorted, "Turns out the big bad death eater cares about his son as well."

"After the twins were born, my father has gotten soft, if you will." Draco said not minding Sirius's tone, "The Malfoys care about themselves more than anyone and this time as you can see, we care about each other as well."

Sirius rolled his eyes not wanting to hear any part of it, "So what is this new enemy again?"

"Oh! The Veela Queen is likely after me due to a very interesting reason." Draco said, "As you know, I am a half-veela, but obviously I wasn't born this way. So long story short, I might have drunk a valuable potion that belonged to Veela's to turn myself into one."

"Are you serious?"

"No, you are." Draco laughed, "Well if it's any consolation, I didn't purposefully drink it, instead it was some who wanted to save me... and that's exactly who can help me with this situation."

"You seem calm for someone who has a new enemy every other day."

"What can I say, the experience in I had just within this year, doesn't even surprise me anymore." Draco laughed as he took out a ink and paper, writing a letter to his dear vampire wife.

Draco was sure that if anyone could help him in this situation, it was her and her family.

Sirius didn't bother with him as he sat back on the couch, "So how many men do we have?"

"We should have at least 30 wizards at our disposal." Draco said, "We used to have a hundred but I guess, they weren't as good as I thought they were."

"So the Malfoy's were building a wizard army themselves? Did you plan to rebel?"

"Not exactly." Draco said as he shrugged his shoulder, "With the help of my brilliant mind our sales in the black market increased a couple of years ago, If I remember correctly, I was still eight. And after that, we decided to hire mercenaries to do our bidding for us."

"The business turned out so well, that my father ended up buying the mercenary company for himself and using them to our advantage."

"If the Ministry find's out, you're sure to be doomed." Sirius said, "Even if I was found to be not guilty if I get caught with you I am sure they'll pack me back to Azkaban once again."

Seeing Draco not respond, Sirius snorted and continued, "I know of someone who can help us."

"Who?"

"One of the marauders." Sirius said, "You should know him."

"Well, one is dead, the other one's a rat. Then there's you... are you talking about your werewolf buddy, Lupin?" Draco said in a monotone voice not looking up at Sirius.

Sirius didn't have smiles on his face with the mention of his dead friend as Draco looked back to him seeing the other party silent for too long.

"Sorry, forgot the topic is stingy to you." Draco apologized, "But Remus Lupin... I don't know much about him but are you sure. I mean, the man can't even control himself during the full moon and not to mention the fact, that he thinks you're the informant of Volde and a criminal."

"Hmph! He's good and trustworthy than any of your so-called Mercenaries." Sirius said with a snort, "Also, I am sure that with the same explanation you gave me, we can convince Lupin that I am innocent."

"Sounds like a plan." Draco nodded, "Fine, I'll have my men look out for Lupin but if we can't find him within a week, we have to do this by ourselves. Otherwise, the longer we wait the bigger his army is likely to get."
