"Were you? Maybe worry less about me and more about the wizard you sent into a
den of savage werewolves!"
"I believe I sent a werewolf into a den of werewolves, though yes, Remus is also a
wizard. I had hoped that perhaps he would find that in common with the other wolf packs,"
Dumbledore admitted. "You must understand that should the Dark Lord find the
werewolves to be allies, it would mean the worst for us. Remus is our only hope to gather
information on where they stand."
"The only wolf that'll have any effect on this war is.. ." Greyback. Greyback.
Fenrir... "G-G-Gre... Greyb-b-back," she stuttered the word through clenched teeth;
the moment she spoke, the headache worsened.
"Ah. Now I see what James was saying. You've found a way to fight through the
Tacere Veritas." He was nodding, and the simple movement was enough to make Mia
dizzy. "Much like fighting off Veritaserum actually. You use the same magic and muscles
used with Occlumency, but you already know that. The same way you now know the pain
that comes from fighting it. You do realise, I'll have to strengthen the charm."
His tone of voice indicated he was upset by the necessity of it, but Mia could not
find it in her to sympathise with the man.
She let out another snarl as she forced herself to sit up, holding her head in her
hands as she muttered, "Remus is missing. You sent him in unprepared―"
"I have faith in Remus's abilities," Dumbledore remarked, waving his wand over
Mia's head, presumably strengthening the Tacere Veritas Spell.
"I didn't say Remus was unprepared." Mia glared as her headache began to fade and
a thick magic settled over her that felt like warm water. "You were unprepared. You have
no idea the danger you've put him in. You know nothing of how werewolf packs work.
He'll be attacked. He's been attacked, and that's likely the reason you've lost contact with
him."
"We expected that he would have to go through a physical altercation to prove
himself worthy of joining the pack, temporarily at least," Dumbledore admitted, looking
unphased by her panic. "Once properly infiltrated, Remus can gather the needed
information and return to us. The pack we've sent him to is not Greyback's. He'll have no
desire to permanently serve the current Alpha wolf."
"He can't join another pack!" Mia snapped. "Don't you get it? Remus is an Alpha!"
