Remus is a big Gru fan…

The irony is not lost on him.

What better place to hide than in plain sight?

“Ron… haven’t I been a good friend… a good pet?”

Ron didn’t answer, but it looked like he was under a lot of stress. His skin was pale, and clammy, and his right eye was twitching. Pettigrew seemed rather confused at this. No one else said a word.

The silence in the shrieking shack was overwhelming, and Harry could swear he could hear his own heartbeat. The idea of Sirius Black being innocent, and Ron’s rat killing his parents, it was almost too much, yet it made perfect sense.

“Accio Wormtail’s wand,” Remus cried out, breaking the silence.

The wand flew out of Pettigrews hand and into Remus’s. Quickly and without waiting, their professor then swiftly brought his knee up and snapped said wand over it, splintering it into two.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Ron screamed, his eyes rolling up into his head, before passing out.

Ronald Weasley looked ahead vacantly as he sat in the Hospital wing. Who was he? Next to him, occupying the other beds was Ginny, Fred, George, and Percy. They too all had vacant looks in their eyes. As it was discovered shortly after Ron passed out, they all had been under the imperious curse most of their lives. A curse cast by Peter Pettigrew when he arrived at the Burrow.

As far as he could remember, everything had been blurry and distant, yet clear at the same time. It was all Ron had ever known, and he thought it was perfectly normal. He didn’t know there was anything to break out of. None of them knew.

Fred and George no longer had a mischievous spark in their eyes, and Ron heard Madame Pomfrey wonder aloud if that was even their actual personality’s, or an attempt at Pettigrew to relive his Marauder day’s vicariously.

Ginny had reported that she had actually broken the Imperious curse when Riddle had possessed her the year earlier, but that situation had scrambled everything to where she didn’t even notice at the time, and was quickly put back under by Pettigrew when Riddle had been destroyed.

Percy had taken it the hardest, because he felt responsible for Pettigrew getting into the house in the first place. He was in a near comatose state overall.

Reportedly Dumbledore himself went to go and check on Bill, Charlie and his Parents as they broke out of the curse.

Ron could remember everything, yet he couldn’t. He knew he went to Hogwarts, he knew he had friends, yet it felt like someone else’s life, not his own. He knew his siblings were feeling the same thing.

“Ron?” Ron looked over, his train of thought broken, and saw a concerned Harry and Hermione. They had said they were best friends with him, and in a way, it had seemed familiar, and he knew it had to been true, but it was still distant.

“I’m sorry, I—I don’t know either of you—not really.” Harry and Hermione looked at each other sadly.

“We know, Ron,” Hermione said. “But it couldn’t have all just been Pettigrew! Somewhere, deep inside, we actually were—are your friends.”

Ron knew he should feel something, but he felt nothing.

“I’m—I don’t know.”

Harry took a deep breath. “We… we understand. But we would still like to become your friends at least. We would like to be all your friends,” Harry said, addressing the rest of the room. This got the attention of the other Weasley siblings.

Ron smiled. “Thank you… I… I would like that as well. I just need time.”

Hermione touched Ron’s hand. “Take as much time as you want.”

Ron nodded at this, closed his eyes and leaned back into the bed. He wasn’t going to let the Rat bastard ruin his life. He was going to take it back and make it his own.

Edit: Some grammer

Despite having a house elf at his beck and call, somehow Harry still does not know about magic…

7th Horcrux, but in 5th year, and Voldemort as Superior Spider-man.

With a rough 2 to 3 year age gap each kid, that is another 4-5 kids (not counting possible twins) by time of the first book.

Per Canon, Arthur’s mother is a Black, and is first Cousin’s once removed with Arthur.

Percy Weasley is oblivious

Dumbledore to Fawkes: Dude, your embarrassing me in front of the Wizards.

“He’s going to need to look in your eyes briefly, but I assure you this will hurt Voldemort far more than it will hurt you.”

“Im sorry, What?” Harry asked as Mr. Blaze burst into flames.

Happy Christmas in July!

Remus Lupin groaned as an alarm blared. He really didn’t want to get up.

“Good Morning Professor Lupin,” the voice of Hermione Granger called out, “what is the most powerful magic number?”

“Seven,” Remus responded instinctually.

“Correct! What is the wand lighting charm?”

“Lumos.”

“Correct. Activating magical stowaway procedure.”

“Stowaway?” Remus wondered to himself. It was only then that he realized he was strapped down to a four poster bed, and that the sheets were now floating.

Slowly, Remus undid his restraints and started to float up. Where the hell was he?

Looking around, he found the room eh was in was a bit cavernous, with a small library filled with books, and sitting on a Pedestal was a large basin. A Pensieve, Remus realized.

Making his way to the magical device, he saw a bottle with a memory in it, along with his wand. He soon placed said memory in the basin, took a deep breath, and submerged his head. He is met by the image of an older looking Minerva McGonagall.

“Hello Professor Lupin, it’s been a while. By time you wake up, it will have been 13 years since you left Earth, and will be in the Tau Ceti System. Long story short, magical power has been fading all over the galaxy, except in the Tau Ceti system. The unspeakable’s think it is related to a dimming sun issue the muggles noticed. We want you to join the mission, and figure out what we hope is a common solution. The good news is that the statute of secrecy no longer applies for your mission and the actual crew, and should make things easier. The bad news, and I do hope you can forgive me one day, this is a one way trip. You are our only hope Remus, good luck.”

Remus pulled his head out of the Pensieve.

A one way trip. But he must have volunteered for this, right?

Looking around, he noticed a large door that hadn’t been there before. That must be the way to the muggle ship. Well, bets to introduce himself to the rest of the crew.
