AN Another brain child, thanks for the read R&R This is a very different take on Werewolves, this is inspired from the MTV show Teen Wolf and their werewolves.

He had to save himself and Sirius. His dad wasn't coming and if he didn't do something… he would die. So, with a calming breath Harry grabbed his wand and ran to the edge of the lake.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Harry roared, for a second, he worried that nothing was going to happen but then it happened, a blinding light erupted from his wand and a stag stood there warding off the hundreds of dementors that were hell bent on sucking their souls from their bodies. He felt somewhat drained but otherwise okay. Hermione ran to him and grabbed his arm and the two started to make their way towards Buckbeak. But then they heard it, trampling through the woods. Harry could see the dark eyes of one Remus Lupin, but it was a Remus who was not himself for this was him in his wolf form.

He was darting towards them, faster and faster and all Harry could see was him leap for Hermione. Without thinking Harry jumped in front of her and knocked her out of the way. An icy feeling enveloped him, teeth sunk into his shoulder. Pain was inevitable, but the ice was making him almost freeze in place. Hermione panicked and fired a red spell that he couldn't hear over the ringing in his ears. But the next thing he knew he was being dragged by Hermione to Buckbeak's back.

She held him on as they flew, they had to wait for Sirius and Harry to be found so they could rescue Sirius from the tower. Soon they arrived, Harry had already passed out but Hermione freed Sirius, who was reluctant to leave without talking to Harry. But eventually he was convinced that it was for the best, so he left and left his best wishes with Harry.

And now, now was her time to panic. Harry had been bit by Remus and now, now he had the bite, he had taken it for her. It would have been her who was bit but instead it was him… now… now she was at a loss as to what to do.

"Harry? Harry please? Harry please wake up!" She started to cry, her hands on his cheeks trying to wake him. His eyes began to flutter open long enough for their eyes to meet, but unlike before she wasn't staring into his emerald orbs, she was staring into bright yellow eyes.

"Not… not the hospital wing… please." Harry managed to groan while he lost consciousness once more. Hermione was in a panic, she wanted to obey Harry's wishes but at the same time, where else could she take him? She went to the only place she could think of. Hermione had to levitate Harry down and then herself down to the Forbidden Forest. She found a place for them to lay down and they did, she used a spell to light a fire and try to warm him up. His skin was ice cold and Hermione was worrying, so she wrapped her body around his while he shivered and sweated at the same time while she cried into him.

She was second guessing herself, they should be in the hospital wing not here in the woods. But she had to trust Harry, she had to trust her friend. So, she did her best to comfort him and keep herself under control. Eventually he seemed to be getting better and Hermione could relax some. At one point she eventually got to sleep.

The sun was rising above Hogwarts and the two people who were laying in the forest. Harry's eyes opened, and he felt a hundred times better than he had the night before, and if he thought about it he felt better than he had ever before. Although his vison was blurry. He took off his glasses to clean them and he could see. He could see everything clear and sharp as day, noises rung in his ears which he did his best to tune them out. But all in all, he felt good, he felt strong and like he hadn't been bitten. Then he looked to his left and saw Hermione who had her arms wrapped around him. He gently shook her awake, she stirred and eventually woke.

"Harry! Are you ok?" She asked starting to hug him tightly to which he laughed. He nodded into her shoulder while she tried to calm herself down.

"I thought you were going to die Harry! You were so cold, and you were sweating, I thought I was going to lose you." Hermione cried while hugging him even tighter. Harry tried to comfort her with a hand on her back, but she hugged him even tighter.

The contact eventually ended and the two just stared in one another's eyes. Hermione's eyes widened when it came to her, a way to see the damage and to confirm the one truth.

"Harry, can I see the bite?" She asked, already reaching for his shirt. He nodded and took it off and Hermione didn't even have time to blush before she saw it, well more like the lack of bite. It was completely healed like nothing had happened.

"Harry… I think… I think you should look." Hermione said with a hand over her mouth. Harry looked confused before looking over and seeing his shoulder completely healed from where he was bit, and it was then he realized that he had taken the bite on a full moon. Meaning that now he had the curse that Remus bore. Transferred to him. Harry's face went dark before he managed to calm down.

"Tell no one." Harry growled at her.

"But Harry, Lupin can he- "She was cut off but him

"No one." Harry said with finality. Hermione just nodded at him to which he thanked her. The two rose from their camp in the woods and started making their way back towards Hogwarts. Harry felt, for a lack of better words bloody brilliant. He felt strong and fast, he could hear better than he ever remembered and see things he never thought he would see. It felt almost nothing like how it was to be a werewolf as described by the books. And he had to wonder how that could be, but it wasn't the time. He was off to see Professor Lupin and Hermione was to the library to see if there was any more research she could do into werewolves… well more so than she had already done.

Harry made his way through the castle, feeling, seeing, smelling, and seeing much more than he ever could. It was like he was blind his whole life but now he could see. He made his way to Lupin's office. The first thing he noticed was that he could smell the wolf in Lupin. But they had a short chat to which Harry learned that he resigned, and he was also given the map back. He hugged Lupin and told the man that he would be in touch. If Remus was like Harry he would have said something already, he would have known Harry was like him in an instant like Harry knew. So that told him they were not the same, he would have to figure out why later.

He was walking to the library when he smelt something foul. Hair gel in a large quantity was fermenting the hall and before he even saw his big blond head he knew who was turning the corner. Malfoy stood before him.

"Potter, saying goodbye to that mutt of a teacher?" Malfoy said to him causing something within him to shake with rage.

"Why don't you just shove off Malfoy?" Harry said attempting to push past him, but he was stopped by the large frame of Goyal.

"Not so fast Potter, now that your little mentor is gone, what are you going to do? Nobody to protect you from Dementors, oh I know what you'll do, you'll feint, isn't that right Potter?" Malfoy continued to taunt him to which Harry did his best to stop the primal blood lust from tearing through him and letting him tear out the boy's throat with his teeth. Harry once again tried to walk through the larger boy, but he was stopped by both of them.

"Your little mudblood may think that she's tough. But she wasn't so tough in front of Salazar's beast, was she? Maybe Dumbledore will wise up and hire someone that is actually competent this year. And someone who isn't a half breed." Malfoy sneered. And that is when Harry had the last straw, Draco could swear he saw Harry's eyes turn a menacing yellow before he lunged but was suddenly suspended from his attack by the all too familiar bushy brown-haired girl.

She grabbed Harry by the shoulder and was pulling him to the abandoned girl's lavatory. Harry was in a rage, blood ran down his palms as his nails which had grown into claws around four inches long cut into them. His yells of anger resembled howls of a beast and his eyes were yellow. But when he was faced with Hermione he could feel his anger lessen some but that didn't stop his transformation.

"Harry please, Harry calm down please. It's okay, you're here, with me, you're safe." She said to him as she came even closer and put her hands on his face which now had started growing hair down the sides as his brow thickened. She could see his teeth were now better referred to as fangs. But that didn't scare her, she caressed his face with her thumb and his breathing slowed down and slowly the hair left his face, his claws retracted, and his eyes turned back into the green she adored.

"It's okay Harry, everything is okay." She said to him while gathering him in a hug which he melted into. She held him in the bathroom while he calmed, and his hands healed within seconds. He was calm again, while they both wondered why that had happened. They knew enough to know that this was not normal for someone effected with his condition. One thing was for sure, something was wrong.

But he didn't fear, he knew that Hermione would help him find out what was happening to him. He only feared what he would have done if she had not come. He knew he would have ripped Malfoy to shreds of a human. Even the thought of it made him want the blonde to walk in the room.

"Harry, why did you want me to keep you away from the hospital wing?" She asked him when he had calmed.

"I didn't want anyone else to know, they need someone to be their savior. And if it isn't me it'll be Dumbledore and he has had enough. They won't believe in a half breed…" Harry whispered unsurely to her.

"Harry, don't you ever think that I will care about you any less. You're my best friend and you saved my life and while doing so you got bit. So, it really is my fault. And don't think for a second I would leave you." She pleaded with him.

"Hermione… what am I going to do when I'm back at my relatives? If this happens to me when I get angry then they'll be dead within a week and that's pushing it." Harry said with clarity. Hermione nodded in understanding of what he said. She knew exactly how bad his relatives had been to him. Harry had never gotten into the details, but Hermione wasn't called the brightest witch of her age for no reason. She could tell there was something not right about the relationship when at the end of the year Harry looked so torn about having to go home. She could see it during the holidays when people went home, and he would always stay.

"Harry it's okay. We can talk to Dumbledore, I know he will understand. Just explain to him why it isn't safe for you. You don't have to explain everything but tell him enough and maybe he'll understand. Harry… He cares about you, how many students do you think have a one on one with Dumbledore? The closest thing I've had to that was in the hospital wing." Hermione explained to him.

"Ok Hermione, you're right. I can talk to him." Harry started to calm down. Hermione nodded, and they began to make their way towards the headmaster's office.

"Lemon Drop" Harry spoke to the gargoyle, it nodded and moved to the side and Harry gave Hermione a small smile and made his way up the stairs.

Dumbledore's office was much the same as it had been since his first visit. Except this time Fawkes was humming softly in the corner

"Harry, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Dumbledore asked softly, in a much more controlled tone than usual. It seemed like he had lost some of his trademark mirth he always seemed to possess.

"Sir there are some things I think we need to talk about." Harry said gravely. Dumbledore looked nonplused by his proclamation and nodded in permission to speak.

"Sir, I don't think I can go back to my relatives this summer. There have been some… developments. And it would not be safe for me to return there." Harry tried to explain vaguely, one look at the headmaster was more than enough to see he needed to explain further if he wanted to be heard.

"Harry, I'm sorry but you'll need to explain more if you want me to do anything. Otherwise I cannot remove you." Dumbledore said sadly.

"Sir, in the woods when I went to save Sirius and myself there was an incident. The professor and I… we had a confrontation and I was bitten. Since then I have turned into something and it isn't like the professor. I started changing today, just minutes ago. When it happened I was angry, but it was no angrier that I get on a daily basis at my relatives. Hermione managed to calm me down… but otherwise… I would have killed Malfoy, and that's for sure. They won't be safe while I'm there. I'm not sure what I'm capable of, when it happened I felt strong, so strong. Even now, ever since the bite I have felt more alive and stronger than I ever have. I can hear and smell things I never would have before. And my sight is corrected, I can see for so far now professor. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time. I wasn't going to say anything, but then after Malfoy I knew I needed to." Harry explained to the man, Dumbledore for his part looked almost heartbroken at what he had learned.

"Harry, I am so sorry. I am so sorry for failing you all of these years. I should have been there for you, I should have taken you in and protected you. But I didn't, I feared that I would not be able to care for you. And now you have been changed in ways I cannot even imagine. Pain beyond anything that I would have ever wished on another. Harry… I will fix this as best I can. As far as your relatives go, you will be staying here at Hogwarts for the summer. I will see to that. And from there I will help you figure out what we can do to fix you." Dumbledore ended with tears brimming his eyes.
