Problems part 2

Harry P.O.V

Mundungus had left an hour ago. I was sitting at the kitchen table, rubbing the back of my right hand. The scars, I must not tell lies stood out to me. Umbridge had forced me to use a blood quil in the many detentions she'd given me in fifth year, when she was the DADA teacher.

"What are we going to do?" Hermione asked. "How do we get to it?"

"I'll try using my power. Hopefully it'll work." I said. "But, I've never, intentionally, summoned an object from that far a distance before."

"I'm sure that you can do it, mon amour." Remy said. "You just need to concentrate."

I nodded and closed my eyes. I thought only of the locket the real locket, the one containing a piece of Voldemorts soul. It was in the Ministry, in an office, around the old toad's neck. I willed it to come to me, to be in my hands.

I felt my energy start to seep from me as I felt the locket come to me. I was on the verge of collapsing when the locket appeared in my hands. I placed it on the table and sat back.

"Give Kreacher the knife." I said.

"What?" Ginny asked.

"He should be allowed to…" I was really tired.

Hermione smiled at me and fetched the knife. When she returned I called, "Kreacher!"

"Yes, Misstress Harriet?" He asked, coming out of the pantry.

"Take the knife from 'mione." I yawned. "Then, when I open the locket, stab it, quickly."

"Yes Misstress." Kreacher bowed. He took the knife and then got up onto the table. Kreacher stood next to the locket, ready to stab it.

I willed myself to speak in parsletounge. "Open." it did so, but, before the locket could do anything more, Kreacher stabbed it. "Well done Kreacher." I said. Then I let my eyes close.

When I came round I was in bed. I opened my eyes to see Remy. "Hi." I said.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Fine, what happened?"

"You passed out, right after Kreacher destroyed the Horcrux. You've been out for two days."

"Two?" I asked, sitting up quickly. "Wow. Didn't think that I'd pass out. I must've over taxed myself." I said.

"Overtaxed yourself? When someone overtaxes themselves, they only sleep through the night, you were out of it for two days. I'd say you exhausted yourself!"

"I'm sorry if I worried you." I said.

"That's all-right, mon amour. Now, how do you feel about breakfast?"

At that, Kreacher appeared with a tray of food and started fussing over me.

The days passed and we started planning. Not only did we need to find the Horcruxses, but we needed to prepare for what we would do after we'd destroyed the Horcruxes. Also, we needed to know what was going on in the wizarding world. So, we took it in turns to leave the safety of Grimmauld Place, under my cloak, in the night or early hours of the morning, to watch the entrance to the ministry of magic, for any discarded issues of the Daily Prophet. It was my night when it happened. I definitely had no luck. I'd just picked up the latest copy to see, on the front page, that Snape had been appointed headmaster of Hogwarts, and the Carrows were also teachers. Then I heared it, a growling noise. I stood to my full height, and caught a glimpse of the moon. The bright, large, full moon. I turned round, knowing that my invisibility cloak wouldn't hide my scent from a fully transformed werewolf.

I turned round and saw a very matted looking giant black wolf, with a grey streak down its back. I instantly knew who this wolf was, Fenrir Greyback. The wolf growled at me.

"Uh-oh." I breathed. The wolf lunged and I dived to the side, my cloak slipped off. It lunged again and again I dodged, but Greyback chaged quickly, expecting the move. I felt his moth clamp down on my left arm and the teeth pierce my skin.

"Shit!" I cursed. I fliked my right wrist and had my wand in my hand. I pointed it at the large wolf. "Bombarda!" I yelled.

The wolf let go and I grabbed my cloak and put it on and apparated away.

I apparated right on the doorstep of number 12 and hurried inside. I leaned heavily against the wall of the hall, trying not to collapse from the pain, or cry out and wake Mrs. Black. I walked slowly to the kitchen and stumbled into it.

"What happened?" Remy asked hurrying over to me and supporting me. I only felt the pain.

"Oh my god! What went wrong? How did you get hurt?" Hermione asked.

"Are you ok?" Ginny fussed worriedly.

I was guided to a chair as Kreacher came out and started fussing over me too.

"The cloak doesn't hide scents." I said.

Hermione was rooting around in her beaded bag. Suddenly she whipped out her wand and said, "Accio Dittany!"

"What are you talking about?" Remy asked.

"There was a growl, from behind me. I caught a look at the moon. The full moon."

Ginny gasped and Hermione almost dropped the small bottle of dittany. Remy rested his head on top of mine. I didn't need to explain further. They all knew what I was now. A werewolf. Hermione quickly opened the small bottle and poured a couple of drops onto the bite. It healed over.

"There are spells, but I am not confident enough with them. I could do more damage than good."

I nodded in understanding. "That's ok Hermione. You just need practice, which reminds me, we need to start teaching ourselves spells, we need as many advantages as possible. Remy, can you teach us muggle fighting?" I looked at him hopefully.

"When you're better, definitely." he said.

"I'm all healed." I said.

"You need sleep." Remy said.

"Remy's right, you do eed to sleep." Hermione said.

Remy smiled at her, causing Hermione to blush. I swear he could charm even the Giant Squid if he wanted to. Remy pulled me onto his lap, and then stood up, with me in his arms, bridal style.

"I can walk, you know."

"Well, I don't care." Remy said, smiling at me and he carried me out of the room and into the hallway. I swear I heared Ginny sniggering. Remy carried me up to the room we shared. We didn't do anything, we were still taking things slow, but Remy liked to see me in the morning, when he woke up, it seemed to reassure him.

He placed me on the bed, and lay down beside me.

"Remy?" I asked.

"Yes mon amour?"

"At the wedding, what did the twins say to you?"

"They told me that they were the best pranksters in the world who owned a joke shop. They also made a point of being apart of the DA, I remember you telling me about that, and they said that if I hurt you, in any way, shape or form, I'd regret it, big time. They also mentioned something about dragons?"

"They were probably talking about getting Charlie's help. The Weasleys view me as a part of the family."

"That explains the warning." Remy smiled. "Now go to sleep. I'll be here when you wake up."

"Then we can deal with my new furry little problem?"

Remy laughed.
