Harry and James jumped up from their seats, watching as Sirius, Lily and Ron did the same. Harry's eyes were wide with fear, Hermione was in trouble.

"Where could they have gone?" James asked, knowing that they would have heard Remus howling had they still been in the forest.

Harry was beyond the point of panic, his brain refusing to work properly.

"They went to Hogsmeade right?" Sirius said, "Maybe they're hiding out in the shrieking shack."

James nodded, it was a likely possibility.

"They could've gone to Hogwarts" Ron said, "Hermione would have headed straight there had there been trouble"

James nodded again, another likely possibility.

"Perhaps they went back to Andromeda's" Lily suggested.

James was beginning to worry, there was no way they could search all of these places alone. There was no time to call reinforcements; they would have to split up.

"Where else?" He barked, directing the question at Harry.

"Hermione's Muggle house, Grimmauld Place, The Burrow"

James nodded, taking it all in. He started to form a checklist in his head, trying to figure out which locations they were most likely to seek refuge. If Remus and Hermione had encountered trouble, there was a large possibility that they could be somewhere entirely different.

Someone would definitely have to check the shrieking shack; it was within walking distance of their last known whereabouts.

"Ron, Harry, I want you to go and check out the Shrieking Shack, if anything should happen I want you to send up red sparks with your wand, whoever is nearest to you will come to your aid."

The boys nodded, looking back at James before running off towards Hogsmeade.

Professor McGonogall was more than capable of handling Remus' 'problem', there was no point in visiting Hogwarts. Someone would definitely have to check Hermione's Muggle house, they couldn't have a werewolf wreaking havoc through the streets of London.

"Sirius, I want you to check out the girl's house," He said "I'm sure you are more than capable of handling the situation should anything happen."

Sirius nodded in return, pulling out his wand and apperaiting almost instantaneously.

"I'm sorry Lils," He said "but I need you to stay here, should anything happen to the boys or myself. I need you to contact the Weasleys, make sure that Remus hasn't shown up on their doorstep."

Lily hugged her husband, "Where are you going?" she asked

James shrugged.

"Sirius' place I guess."

oOo

James and Ron sprinted through the forest, their faces being whipped by tree branches and twigs.

"God damn it," Ron yelled, another branch having swung and it him in the eye.

The boys didn't stop running, they couldn't. No matter how hard Harry tried to shake it, he couldn't help but feel as if they were being watched. The forbidden forest was full of strange creatures, deadly creatures. The faster they got out of there, the better.

Harry picked up the pace, running faster than he thought humanly possible. He could hear Ron's footsteps behind him, the boy not seeming to have any problems keeping up with him. Ron and Hermione had been going out for a while now, it was only natural of Ron to want to save her.

Harry wasn't going to lose another friend, not at the hands of another. He wasn't going to let Lupin kill her, he wasn't like Bellatrix and the others.

I killed Sirius Black, I killed Sirius Black.

Harry shook his head, no, Remus wasn't like the others.

Remus was caring, he was strong willed and kind. He too had been like a father to him, watching over him whist he was a teacher at Hogwarts.

Mr Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business

Remus was something else alright; he wouldn't willingly hurt someone he loved.

Harry ran faster, he wasn't going to allow Remus to live with the guilt. He wasn't going to let Hermione get hurt.

Harry heard a branch snap and was sure that neither he nor Ron had made the noise. He stopped running.

Ron, unable to see that Harry had stopped, ran straight into him.

"oof"

Ron looked at Harry questionably. What the hell was he doing?

Harry placed his finger against his lips, willing Ron to be quiet. Both Ron and Harry stopped breathing, they had done this several times before. Listening intently to their surroundings, they could hear the unmistakable wheeze of a human. Somebody was definitely following them.

Both boys pulled out their wands, standing back to back to ensure nobody could sneak up on them.

Ron was skimming the trees, trying to catch a glimpse at whoever it was. They didn't have time for this, they needed to find Hermione and Remus.

"WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Harry called, "WHY NOT MAKE IT EASIER FOR ALL OF US AND SHOW YOURSELF?"

The boys heard the scuffling of shoes on rock, whoever it was, they were getting away.

Harry took off first, having located the persons of interest. Running full pelt through the forest, he never lowered his wand.

"STOP" he shouted, hoping to grab the man's attention.

He turned towards Ron.

"Go find Hermione and Remus," He said "I'll be fine on my own."

Ron nodded, time wasn't on their side. Remus had probably already begun his transformation.

Harry, continuing the chase, ran even faster than before. In a vain attempt to catch up, Harry leaped to the side, tying to trick the man into running straight towards him. The cloaked figure was headed towards Hogwarts, a bad move on his behalf. Since the end of the Second Wizarding War, Hogwarts had strengthened the spells that prevented intruders from entering the grounds. He was trapped.

"Take one more step and I'll blow your head off!" Harry said, pointing his wand rather threatingly towards the man.

The man raised his hands above his head, unable to run any further towards the school.

"DROP YOUR WAND" Harry said, not really having the patience for kindness.

The man shook his head.

Harry gripped his wand a little tighter, "Expelliarmus"

The Man's wand fell to the ground, his body being thrust upon the imaginary wall.

"Who are you?"

The man shook his head, he was beginning to get on Harry's nerves.

"WHO ARE YOU?" he said again, perhaps a little more forcefully.

In the darkness he could see the man smile, his teeth rather crooked and yellow.

"You honestly can't remember me Harry?" The man asked "Funny that!"

What in the world?

"I'll ask you one more time," Harry said, ".You?"

The man laughed, his disfigured, yellow teeth sparkling in the moonlight.

"You're too late," He said. "They already know"

"WHO ARE YOU!"

Harry was not in the mood for games, he either told him who he was, or Harry would cart him back to Hogsmeade on a stretcher.

"Your scum of a godfather was no match for my sister-in-law Harry;" He said "He would have been better off in Askaban"

Harry ran towards the man, thrusting his body against the imaginary wall. The tip of his wand plunged deep into the man's neck, as if daring him to give Harry a reason to use it.

"MY GODFATHER IS TWICE THE HUMAN BEING BELLATRIX EVER WAS! IT WOULD BE IN YOUR BEST INTREST TO SHUT YOUR GOD-DAMNED-MOUTH" Harry spat.

"IF YOU EVER SO MUCH AS SPEAK HIS NAME AGAIN I WILL DO EVEYTHING WITHIN MY POWER TO ENSURE YOU NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY!"

The man laughed, his hot breath fogging up Harry's glasses. Something inside him just snapped, Harry simply didn't have time to deal with the man. He raised his wand to the sky, bright red sparks shooting up into the atmosphere.

"You had better hope that my godfather doesn't hear about this," Harry hissed "He doesn't take kindly to Death Eaters."
