Harry, Nym, Ron and Hermione were sitting around Dumbledores office when the man entered.

"Harry, I hope you know just how serious this is, you could be arrested."

"I don't think so: for starters he issued the challenge I accepted as a law if someone of noble stock asks for a duel like that neither are punished for anything to do with it, you should know that, secondly he holds the dark mark, as such he has a bounty on his head, I have a hitwizard license so strictly speaking I will be getting paid for tonights events."

"Very well, but it would seem killing him hasn't effected you much."

"Thats because it hasn't, he picked the fight, which I thought would be to first blood, but no he raised the stakes, I had to kill him or my estate would be taken from me, and I'll be damned if the Malfoy's ever enter the Potter estate, it just won't be happening."

"Very well I suggest you answer Ms. Granger's question then you may leave."

"What was that light?"

"That was the goblins being notified that I own everything in the name Malfoy. I wonder how much I'm worth now? I wasn't exactly poor to begin with."

"Well, I'm going to have to ask you to leave I have to notify Mrs. Malfoy she no longer has a son."

"Could you also tell her she has a week to get out of my house."

"I can Harry, goodnight."

-------------

On the way to Gryffindor tower Ron was in funny mood, he said very little yet had a slight smile on his face. While walking up to the fat lady Harry made his peace with Hermione and made sure she knew he's forgiven her. Once Harry and Nym had walked them to the tower they went to Harry's room and were asleep within minutes.

------------

Harry had a lot of work to do today, tonight was full moon, Nym had the afternoon off and Harry had told her he would meet her for lunch in the entrance hall at 12:30.

Once Nym was teaching Harry apperated to the nearest coast and started searching for a few big pieces of flint, once he had found three fist sized pieces he headed back to Gryffindor's work shop. He spent the morning breaking the flint into suitable sizes and the napping it into 3 different sized knife blades and an axe he cast iron handles for the tools. All the big chips he trow into a canvas sack and hung on a peg. he put the axe and hammer (from the workshop) into the slot's he had left on his belt,and headed back out to the forest, using a tracking charm he located and removed some branches from every tree he marked, he found a particularly good tree which he harvested a lot of twigs for his broom from.

At 12:30 Harry went to meet Nym, when he found her she greeted him with a hug and a kiss and then made to go to the great hall, he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the main doors. She followed him down to the school gates and he pulled her into another kiss, when she opened her eyes she was in the foyer of a very expensive restaurant.

"When are you going to tell me how you do that, and I'm not dressed for a place like this" she hissed.

He waved his hand and she watched as both there attires were transfigured into more formal clothing.

---------------------

After a meal Harry and Nym headed back to Hogwarts, Harry put there cloths back to how they should be and she followed him down to the dungeons, Harry knew the best potions lab was Snape's, but he would NOT be putting up with that streak of grease, so he chose one on the other side of the dungeons.

Harry set up several potions and asked Nym if she would mind brewing some simple healing potions (headache cure, one to soothe aching bones and one for concussion) while Harry brewed the pinnacle of his plan, the elixir of life.

When Harry pulled a philosophers stone from his pocket Nym had almost wet herself. He scraped some of the stone into the cauldron and set to work.

-------------

Later that afternoon he gathered Nym, McGonagall and Dumbledore into the headmaster's office and explained his plan for the night, Dumbledore was apprehensive and wanted to get Snape to help, Harry flatly refused.

Dumbledore had to persuade Remus to transform in the shrieking shack claiming that he had important business to discuss early in the morning, and using the fact that Harry would be spending the night with him in is animagus form sweetened the deal.

-------------

That night Harry was sitting waiting for the full moon.

"Harry I can feel it coming you better transform."

Harry just stood there waiting.

"Harry, NOW!"

Harry stood and watched as Remus went through his transformation.

"Haaaaarrrrrryyyyy" he growled

When the transformation was complete he shot six stunners from each hand and the werewolf was subdued. The others entered quickly and helped to make Remus as comfortable as possible. When he was laying on a conjured bed: still in wolf form, Harry took out his silver knife and sliced the beasts arm, then taking out some finely ground silver, rubbed it into the wound.

"Are you quite sure you know what your doing Mr. Potter?" McGonagall asked.

"Bit late if I'm not don't you think?"

They watched for when he shuddered as he took his final breath before Harry quickly threw the elixir of life down his throat and watched as the wolf transformed back into the timid man.

"Lets get him to the hospital wing." Nym said.

Harry looked at is watch.

"Professors can you take Remus, I still have some time and theres something else I need to do before dawn."

"Of corse Harry."

"What about me?" Nym demanded

"Your coming with me." he smiled

She grinned and mock pouted "As if you could get rid of me!"

--------------

20 minutes later Harry and Nym were standing on the dias in front of the veil of "death"

"OK, you need to hold onto this and pull when you feel it tug" he said handing her a rope he had conjured, he grabbed the other end and jumped in. Nym pulled him right back out.

"Hey, whats the big idea?"

"You just jumped into the veil of death, no warning nothing, you can't do that!"

"Sure I can, watch."

He jumped back through.

On the other side of the veil was a large room, there was no sense of gravity and he felt no need to breathe it was a very strange feeling. There was a multitude of items that had been thrown into the veil many thing he assumed were to get rid of evidence as there was several blood stained items. There were a couple of people in the room which had obviously been either stunned or killed before being pushed through, he spent half and hour looking before he found Sirius who had floated to the back corner of the room. he grabbed him and tugged on the rope so that Nym would pull him back out. he moved back toward the exit VERY quickly.

When he fell back onto the dias with Sirius Nym launched herself on him.

"YOU BIG IDIOT WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!"

"Relax I'll explain back at the castle," he suddenly grinned "Come on lets wake him up."

"I completely forgot I was so worried about you." she said very quickly.

"I'll let you do the honors."

"ENERVATE!"

Sirius' eyes shot open and he sat bolt upright.

He looked over at the two of them looked at Harry and then to Tonks, clearly not recognizing Harry.

"Tonks what happened? I can't believe I got stunned! What happened to Harry? Where's Bella I'll kill her, who is he?" he said in quick succession

"Come on we'll get you to the castle we'll explain there."
