Harry couldn't believe it. After all these years of living with the Dursleys, he was finally going to leave them and go live in a wizarding household. As they walked up to the building with Peter Pettigrew, Professor Lupin pulled a bottle out of his cloak and took a swig from it. When Sirius and Harry looked at him questioningly, he simply said

"It's my potion that Professor Snape makes for me. We don't want me just up and turning into a harmful werewolf now, do we?"

"Of course not Remus," replied Sirius. "I just can't see how you trust Snivellus with something so important."

"Well, he is the only one here who has the skill needed to create such a potion, so I don't have much of a choice, now do I?"

At this Sirius just grumbled and they continued on up to the castle. As they were about to enter, Professor Lupin started changing into his werewolf form, but just drained the last of the potion and told them all not to worry, because he would be completely harmless.

When they came through the two doors, they found Professor McGonagall standing in the doorway looking livid.

"What are you doing up so late in the evening? You should have been well up in the dorms by now and-" At this she caught sight of Sirius. "Get out of the way, Mr. Potter!"

"Wait, no professor, you don't-"

Stupefy!

Sirius groaned and crumpled to the floor in a heap of tattered rags.

Chapter Two should be coming out relatively soon, please review!
