Harry Potter

and the Curse of the Full Moon

Chapter #02: The Full Moon

Harry walks straight into Hermione where Ron and Harry's Past self were not far behind not having time to think Harry grabs Hermione and hides them in the Hospital Wing covering her mouth they both hear.

Ron laughs "Your gonna do amazing Mate! I just know it! Harry Potter, the boy who lived, star seeker, and the youngest Tri-Wizard Champion there's ever been!"

Harry laughs "Thanks, I'm glad one of us at least has confidence but… Hey where'd Hermione go?"

Ron looks around "Huh, I guess she headed up to the Common Room to try and make things easier for you, you know how freaked out she's been since your name got thrown out of the goblet."

Harry nods "Alright, I'll see you later Professor Mad-Eye wanted to talk to me about something."

Ron nods "Later mate!" he turns back to head to the Great Hall its almost lunch time and I'm getting first dips on the chicken today" he laughs to himself.

After both Harry's past self and Ron have left he let Hermione go he looks at her and sighs "I guess that's why McGonagall gave you the time turner last year and not me."

Hermione sees the time turner hanging from Harry's neck and in sudden realization slaps her forehead "Honestly Harry were you in so much of a rush that you couldn't plan ahead!"

Harry nods "Yeah, I was"

Hermione sighs "Alright, what do you need?"

Harry sighs "I can't tell you, you of all people know the dangers of messing with time…" he sighs "as much as I want to."

Hermione puts her hands on her hips "Well there's got to be a reason you have come back, I'm your friend and I want to help besides this has already happened and you know it."

Harry nods "Okay so I can't go into express detail but Voldemort is back or will be back by tonight."

Hermione nods "Yeah, but we always defeat him don't we?"

Harry realizing she doesn't get what he means "No, I mean back fully all powerful physical body not on the back of someone's head back!"

Hermione gasps "So you need to try and stop it from happening, right?"

Harry shakes his head "As much as I'd love to I can't but something happens that I can't reverse and need to deal with but I had little to no time to prepare and me being an idiot tried to hide it thinking I could handle it myself when it came time"

Hermione not quite understanding looks confused "I don't understand… what are you…?"

Harry sighs and reveals the bite on his arm "This is what I'm talking about!"

Hermione gasps "Did that happen during the third task?"

Harry shakes his head "No, yes, er… well it's complicated"

Hermione takes a closer look "We should get Madame Pomfrey to heal it, what was it anyway, it looked like it hurt a lot."

Harry nods "Yeah well Werewolves aren't known to be gentle when infecting others with their curse!"

Hermione gasps "You're a… you've been…" she goes to run "I need to stop Harry uh… you if I can keep you away from the task then…"

Harry annoyed sigh "Hermione! You can't and we both know it. But there is something you can do for me, I need you to bring Professor Dumbledore to me, we both know I can't be trusted to not be spotted walking around especially now."

Hermione nods "Okay, I'll get him for you."

Harry grabs Hermione's arm "Hermione, I'll be okay I mean hey, look at Lupin he's fine…ish."

Hermione smiles at Harry's attempt to cheer her up decides to play along and nods "Yeah, we will" she leaves just as Madame Pomfrey walks in.

Madame Pomfrey walks in to see Harry and she sighs "Not again!? What did you do now?"

Harry chuckles "That's a bit of a long story"

Later after Hermione had explained what she knew to Dumbledore she brought him to Harry who was being treated Dumbledore also decided to bring Professor Snape along and Harry told them everything in great detail what happened and what was going to happen after which he fell asleep having not had a break since well 2 hours ago but for him it'd been at least 12.

Snape almost immediately jumped to his feet "We need to stop the Tournament or at least postpone it. We cannot allow He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to return to power!"

Dumbledore sighs "You know that's not possible Severus it's already happened and if we did then Harry here would not exist and would thenfore disappear but then how would we know about Voldemort's return so we would continue the task as planned then Harry would exist again, and on it would go, until the very fabric of time was torn asunder"

Snape begrudgingly sighs "So what do we do then?"

Dumbledore smiles "Step One get the shrieking shack ready again, step two get lots and lots of chains, step three get four forgetfulness potions we can't remember what Harry has told us until tonight so everything plays out as it should"

Hermione stands tall and says "No, I won't need a forgetfulness potion!"

Snape raises an eyebrow "Oh, and why is that?"

Hermione smiles "because I'll be helping Harry by the time the present catches up I will have already known anyway."

Dumbledore gives Hermione a worried look "My dear, I know you care about him, but you cannot be near him on the full moon, I'm sure you already know even if we're able to get a Wolfsbane potion together it will only help him transition seeing as it's his first full moon after being bitten"

Snape nods in agreement "Yes, it is far too dangerous, not that I care what happens to Potter but if you were anywhere near him when he transformed you would not survive."

Hermione sighs "I'm not going to stay in the shrieking shack with him until he turns just until night and I'll be able to let you know if anything goes wrong if I'm watching the shrieking shack"

Snape annoyed sneer "Dumbledore…?"

Dumbledore starts thinking for a moment "Hmmm?"

Snape gasps "Dumbledore you cannot be considering this!?"

Dumbledore sighs and shrugs "Well, she does have a point, we need someone to be able to let us know if something goes wrong."

Snape sighs "Fine, but I refuse to play a part in this plan I'm heading off according to Mss. Granger I need to be by my storage closet to have an argument with Igor before accusing Potter of stealing Polyjuice Potions Ingredients" he leaves annoyed.

Harry stirs but stays asleep and he whispers as he dreams "Hermione…"

Hermione's cheeks turn bright pink as she shyly looks up at Dumbledore who is looking at her warmly who then says "Do not worry Miss Granger I can keep a secret or two, I will get the Shack ready."

Later that Night while the Past Harry was entering the Maze to get bitten by Fenrir the Present or Future Harry was being chained up by Hermione, Harry was still really tense and scared albeit less worried about hurting people now.

Harry smiles "Thanks again for doing this Hermione."

Hermione just laughs "Well, we are friends and what else are friends for if not to help chain you up after getting bitten by a werewolf so you don't accidentally kill hundreds."

Harry laughs at her joke then sighs as it hits him, he's going to become a monster in a matter of hours "I just can't wait for this night to be over and never have to turn into a werewolf again."

Hermione nods "Yeah… hey where do you think Lupin is right now? I mean he's probably going through the same thing right now too right?"

Suddenly they hear a voice coming from the doorway of the Shrieking Shack "Not quite." They both see Remus Lupin standing in the doorway.

Harry is shocked and a little ashamed "Professor I…"

Lupin sighs "It's no longer Professor you know… now Mrs. Granger things are going to get very interesting for Harry in a moment so why don't you get out of here, I'll send for help if any is needed."

Hermione nods and leaves with due haste once she makes it a fair enough distance from the Whomping Willow she sets up to watch she wasn't going anywhere while her friend was in trouble.

Harry looking around awkwardly as Remus double and triple checks the chains and nods "She did a pretty decent job."

Harry nods "So, what are you doing here?"

Remus sighs "Well, I was getting ready to deal with this month's full moon when Dumbledore messaged me and told me what happened, so I flu over here as quickly as I could to help out."

Harry looks confused "How, by killing me if I escape by making sure I don't hurt anyone?"

Remus thinks for a moment before saying "Kind of but it's a little more complicated than that, thanks to the Wolfsbane Potion I took while I taught here and try to take as much as possible when the Full Moon comes around I'll explain nmore about it tomorrow it allows us to transform but stay in control, so just how James learned how to be an Animagus for me, I'm going to transform for with you to help ease you into it, and yes stop you if you get out of hand."

A Few hours pass and the full moon rises above the mountains by this time the other Harry was probably already at the Graveyard and Cedric was dead by now but the Present Harry had more pressing issues to focus on as the inside of him felt like a burning more painful than anything he'd ever felt not even his scar got this painful.

Harry screams "Ahhhhh! It burns! IT BUUURNS! What is happening to me!?"

Lupin nods sadly "It's like this every time it doesn't get easier but it will get smother your body is breaking itself apart then reforming itself so you can take on the shape of a wolf, each werewolf form is different much in the same way every person is different. The key is to let go, the more you fight it, the more pain you will feel, I know trust me, but I am here and you will not hurt anyone I give you my word."

Harry looks weak and defeated and devoid of any life "Please Lupin I can't do this please just kill me"

Lupin sighs and shakes his head "I cannot, I promised your father I would look after you, I cannot break that promise now, do as I say and let go."

Harry unable to fight back against the wolf lets go and every single bone in his body begins to break, his bones reshape themselves and it is a terrible sight especially on the first night.

Harry's paws slip out of the chains and Lupin sees nothing more than a wolf but just as this happens Lupin's transformation occurs and thanks to him taking his potion his transformation is a whole lot smoother and he still has his mind but Harry has left the shack the transformation took longer than expected.

Lupin starts sniffing for Harry's scent but because he was in his wolf form now he couldn't smell Harry so he used his other heightened senses to track Harry it didn't take long though because Harry had taken refuge in the forbidden forest however there were students, a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin both sixth year students a girl and a boy probably a couple that don't like showing affection out in public, Harry sneaks forward towards them he lunges and startles the couple.

Lupin however in his werewolf form strike Harry back and growls at the students unable to form a single English sentence in that state but they understood that he was telling them to run and so they did, four hours Lupin and Harry fought then stared each other down until it was only a matter of hours before Harry would turn back that's when everything went to Hell…
