On the Offensive
~
Gideon and Fabian were quintessential Gryffindors, immediately ready to go on the offensive. “Sodding Malfoys,” muttered Fabian darkly. “What say you, Gideon? Ready to take them on?”
“Absolutely.” Gideon eyed Severus and Regulus. “So. Any idea where to find this Riddle chap?”
“I’d say Malfoy Manor,” said Regulus.
Gideon groaned. “Damn and blast! That manor’s a fortress. Hexes bounce. Even Expelliarmus doesn’t work right there.”
“True,” agreed Fabian. He winked at Severus. “Don’t ask how we know that.”
Despite himself, Severus laughed. These Prewitts seemed competent, and for the first time, he started believing there was a way out.

“Our main problem’s finding a way in,” said Fabian.
Severus exchanged a speaking look with Regulus, who finally nodded. Severus coughed. “We’ve an invitation, Regulus and I. We could get you in.”
Gideon’s eyes narrowed. “It’ll be dangerous,” he warned. “When things start happening, they’ll know it was you who betrayed them. Can you defend yourselves?”
“I’m top of my class in Defence,” said Severus. “No one I’ve met’s been able to resist my Expelliarmus.”
Fabian’s eyebrow went up. “Then maybe this could work.”
“No,” said Remus, who’d been sitting on the side, just observing. He frowned. “It’s too dangerous.”
~
“I must!” Severus hissed.
Remus, who’d pulled him aside, scowled. “Remember the trouble we had getting you away from them? You can’t hand yourself over on a plate. Madness!”
“What’s really mad is letting Malfoy and Riddle continue recruiting.” Severus sighed. “Have you heard? They’re calling themselves the Death Eaters.” He shivered.
Remus sighed. “Still, Severus, I can’t allow you to--”
“Remus,” Severus interrupted. “It’s not your choice, it’s mine, and I’m going.”
Remus stared at him for a long moment before snogging him fiercely. “Fine. But you’re taking someone with you.”
“Who? You?” Severus rolled his eyes.
“No. Sirius.”
