Chapter 10: The Order's Worry

In England the Order of the Phoenix was having their usual meeting, with Eileen's death the center of conversation. Alister was worried because her death was just another in a long line of murders commited by the famous Death Eater.

"She's worst then Snape," Arthur commented.

"I'll agree with that," said his wife. "Bellatrix was evil when she was with us in school and now killing Snape's mother out of some sort of sick revenge."

"Do you think this has anything to do with who she married?" Fred asked his mother.

Molly gave this some thought, but Minerva spoke up.

"I remembered Eileen when she was in school, she was a couple years below me and in Ravenclaw," she said. "She was pretty, popular, and loved everyone, it didn't matter what house they were in. Dumbledore seemed to take a shinning to her."

"I bet," said Alister. "However, what does killing Eileen Prince do for this whole thing? I mean, what does she get out of it?"

Molly snorted at that.

"Can I speak?" asked the painting of Dumbledore.

They all nodded and he continued.

"When Harry was about to come to Hogwarts I asked Severus to take an unbreakable vow that he would ensure that no one hurt Harry while he was around and able to help. He agreed without a second thought. If Severus is taken to Azkaban he won't be able to fulfill his vow and he will at last die."

Everyone gasped at him and Minerva was sure that he hadn't told the Order this bit of information.

"Albus, what happens to someone that doesn't fulfill their vow after death?" Alister asked.

"They become a ghost," Dumbledore said. "Severus will be tied to Harry until Harry dies and then he'll be connected to any children that Harry has. This is to ensure that the Potter's always have a protector when they are in need the most."

"And Snape agreed to this," Fred said, shocked.

Dumbledore nodded.

"Well I don't care about old Snape," Tonks said. "He's just another Death Eater to me."

Dumbledore sighed.

"Albus, Hermione saw Eileen getting killed," Kingsley said. "It must mean that Snape was in France as well if Bellatrix took her there. Any reason why?"

"Don't know why he was there," Dumbledore said. "But he sort of got himself into a jam when he knocked Flitwick out."

"What do you mean?" Alister asked.

"Well Flitwick is famous for those silent charms that he places on himself," he told him. "If he gets attacked some sort of reaction occurs. I don't know what charms he placed on himself, but apparently Severus has been hit by one of them."

They all turned to the tiny Charms Professor.

"So what kind of charm was Snape hit with?" Ginny asked.

He grinned at himself.

"A charm that causes the victim to suffer the effects of a werewolf bite," he said. "Severus got hit with it and now he's a werewolf, until I get the countercharm and cure him."

"FLITWICK," Minerva roared. "YOU PUT AN ILLEGAL CHARM ON YOURSELF AND NOW SNAPE IS SUFFERING FROM IT."

Flitwick shook when she spoke.

"It's only temporary," he said.

"Temporary my wand," Minerva snarled. "You've just put everyone in danger."

He looked down.

"I need to inform someone at once about this," Kingsley said.

"Like who?" Minerva asked.

"Like Hermione."

"Hermione, you're going to have to talk to Harry," Ron said that afternoon.

Hermione glared at him and he backed away.

"What's wrong dear?" her mother asked, not understanding why her daughter was looking so upset.

"It's nothing, mum," she said. "Just putting assholes in their places."

She conjured dinner with a wave of her wand and then brought it in. When she arrived she saw that Harry was sitting, looking over something. He glared at her when she sat down the mash potatoes.

"I'm not talking to you," Hermione said.

"Good, because I'm not talking to you," he said.

"Well I'm not talking to either of you," Ron retorted. "Until both of you start acting your age and not your I.Q."

Hermione huffed at that and then she heard a tapping sound. Hermione went over to let a large barn owl in.

"What is it?" Ron asked.

"A letter from Kingsley," she answered.

She opened it and read:

Hermione,

Flitwick put a charm on Severus to turn him into a werewolf. Please inform whoever is with him that he's dangerous.

Kingsley.

"Oh no," Hermione gasped

And she went to write a letter to Remus.
