Padfoot

Later that night, after almost pulling apart Draco and Ron who were tied in score of battles won, Bonnie was in Draco's room. She had already told him about the seal since he hated secrets. It really didn't bother her since she knew if she didn't tell Draco something, she would eventually. They were lying on his bed cuddled up together enjoying the silence. They had both changed into comfier clothes to relax in. Bonnie chose rolled up sweatpants and a t-shirt while Draco opted out for slacks and an undershirt. Bonnie seriously wondered if he had ever owned anything but fancy clothes. There was a loud banging coming from the portrait near there room. It didn't stop until someone burst in and begun pounding on their door. Bonnie and Draco immediately got up and walked over.

"What the bloody hell is going on?" Draco yelled at the door before opening it and found a sweaty Ron.

"Harry's gone missing; you have to help us find him. He got a letter from Ginny to meet him at the pitch and after he left Ginny walked in!" Ron said as he tried to breathe after probably running all the way down to the dungeons.

"Weasley, what are you doing down here causing a riot." Snape snipped as he walked over to the students from his quarters.

"Harry went out to meet Ginny at the pitch and five minutes later Ginny walked into the common room. Let's go!" Bonnie rushed out and the three students ran out of the room towards the pitch. Bonnie saw Snape's familiar doe prance off and followed behind them easily.

"You children are going to be the death of me this year." Snape shouted at them, but they didn't stop running until they saw flashes of spells near the forests edge. Bonnie watched as she saw a werewolf coming up from behind where Harry was. That overly large gray wolf she unfortunately had encountered before.

"That's him! That's my Uncle, I'd know that wolf anywhere." Bonnie said as they got closer to the scene unfolding nearby. Harry screamed as he was hit with a curse and the wolf jumped over him and chased someone into the forest. Draco caught Bonnie as she tried to run into the forest but he didn't let her go.

"Bonnie no, this could be a trap. Don't you dare think about it, I will stun you before I let you run after a werewolf, Uncle or not." Bonnie seized her struggle and looked at Harry writhing in pain. Snape was performing spells on Harry while Ron kept his best friend elevated pinning Harry to his chest.

"It hurts, make it stop!" Harry cried out which was followed by a blood freezing scream. Ron's face had turned pale white and if he weren't holding his best friend, he would be marching into that forest himself.

"Bonnie, Draco, go over to Hagrid's hut, and get me four leaves of the Bander tree and a tablespoon of pumpkin! Hurry and be careful." Bonnie and Draco ran to the hut while Snape levitated Harry to the hut in swift strides while Ron looked around, wand at the ready. Bonnie got the leaves while Draco got the pumpkin. Snape was over in a moment's notice yelling at Hagrid to get him a petal and mortar. Hagrid came out with it and saw Harry. Snape hurriedly made the simple potion with what he had.

"Weasley, hold him firmly, this is going to hurt." Snape said and after Ron's nod he lifted his shirt and pressed in the mixture to the cursed area. Harry screamed again, but not before they all heard a throaty growl behind them. Bonnie turned and in front of everyone motioning for everyone to stay quiet. Ron put a hand over Harry's mouth and Bonnie put her hands up, but saw the bloody dripping from the gray wolf's mouth. The blood from Harry's wound attracted him, those wolf urges kicking in.

"Uncle Ned it's me, Bonnie. You remember me; all those times you tucked me in at night." Bonnie flinched slightly at the bark the wolf suddenly let out, but didn't back down. "I know you're in their Uncle Ned, I know you can hear me, and I know you can fight this. You once told me the only way you can break a curse is if you want to, so break it!" Bonnie said as the wolf paused but didn't seize growling at her. She stared into the eyes of the wolf before it turned and darted back into the forest everyone taking a deep breath.

"Everyone to the castle immediately," Snape ordered and Bonnie grabbed onto Draco's hand firmly as they all rushed to the hospital wing staying on high alert. McGonagall was on her way out of the front hall when she gasped at what she saw before her.

"Draco, take Bonnie to my private stores while I take Mister Potter to the infirmary. We don't have much time. Bonnie I need you to get all the ingredients for the Rosaturi Potion, the one we made yesterday. Bring a cauldron if you can." Snape said and they ran off to the dungeons hand in hand. They got to the private stores and got all the vials putting them into a cauldron that was on the bottom shelf.

"There I got everything." Bonnie said when Draco put a hand over her mouth and quietly closed the door and pulled her into a dark alcove behind a large statue. A dark figure passed by wearing a cloak over their head and was dragging something behind them. They heard something flump against the wall before a creature appeared and sniffed the air.

"I smells someone, I smells a veela." The voice was inhuman and smelled of rotting flesh, smaller than the other figure before,

"We don't have time for that. Do your work." The soft feminie voice hissed at the creature. They heard the ripping of flesh and nails scrapping the stone wall. Bonnie screamed when the creature hit the statue and its nails dug into her face. She put up one arm to block his claws when it bit into her arm. The space was so small Draco could barely move

"Stenr Reisa!" Bonnie screamed as the statue rose and squashed whatever it was that was on top of the statues head. The creature fell to the floor and there was the sound of hurried footsteps. Draco ran out to cast a few curses, but whoever it was had disappeared. The wolf she had seen earlier lied dead on the floor with anther note written in blood.

'One, two, three, soon I will kill all three. Their heads mounded on my wall as trophies.'

"We need to go now, come on, you're bleeding." Draco said urgently.

"Bring the creature," Bonnie felt the blood running into her eye and hissed at the pain. He cast a levitating spell on the creature before he grabbed the cauldron and they rushed to the hospital wing.

"What took you so-" Draco dropped the dead creature on the floor and gave Snape the potions.

"We were attacked. McGonagall, there's another note written in blood on the wall near Snape's private stores. That thing attacked Bonnie after smelling her veela blood. Someone in a cloak ran off before I could hex them." Snape hurried with the potion and Ron came over to help get Bonnie on the bed. Madame Pomfrey ushered the boys aside as she got to work.

McGonagall sent out another patronus to the teachers and told the portraits to look for a cloaked figure. For now, the school was in lockdown until further notice. She went to the spot Draco had said to see what the message said this time. Ron and Draco were both following orders that both Snape and Madame Pomfrey were barking out.

"Draco, get me the tub of green gel on the top shelf in that cabinet labeled miracle balm." Pomfrey said and began applying liberally. Thankfully the wounds were fresh on Bonnie so Pomfrey was able to heal them with an excessive amount of spells and potions. Snape finished the potion to counteract the curse and Harry was going to be fine. Snape came over to her bedside and scourgified her blood streak hair and brushed it behind her ear before he walked over to the dead creature in the wing. Its skin was almost black with the amount of dirt covering its green skin. The body was covered in slashes and looked like a goblin from the hobbit.

"What is it Severus?" Pomfrey asked and McGonagall walked back into the wing.

"It's some sort of half-breed. It looks as if it were torn to shreds on multiple occasions. It seems its loyalty was to whoever has been writing those notes on the wall. This creature was probably doing all the dirty work." Snape spoke in disgust before he vanished the vile creature and scourgified the floor multiple times. All three Professors walked over to where Bonnie and Harry laid down to rest.

"How did you kill it?" McGonagall asked and Bonnie smirked even though she had a large piece of gauze covering the left side of her face.

"Stenr Reisa, it's an enchantment I picked up from a book for advanced magic users. It makes stones rise literally. I used the statue we were hiding behind to squash it against the alcove." They all nodded at her and turned to Harry. Draco held her hand in his lightly kissing the top of her hand once in a while.

"What exactly happened to you Mister Potter?" Snape asked and Ron handed Harry his glasses when he tried to lean over and get them himself.

"I opened the letter the school owl gave me and even after I read it I wasn't actually going to go but I felt my body moving on its own accord like I was under the imperius. I got way past Hagrid's hut by the time I broke whatever was making me move. Suddenly curses were being thrown at me, but I couldn't see who it was. It was dark and whoever it was wore a cloak to obscure their face and was inside the forest. Actually I do remember their cloak being in absolute shambles. It was torn in many places and looked a hundred years old. All I could tell it was a woman when she spoke the last curse and you all arrived as the giant wolf jumped over me." Harry said with a sigh that he couldn't be any more help. Draco sat up remembering something Harry said and Bonnie seemed to be on the same path as he was.

"Alecto Carrow," Draco and Bonnie said at the same time and all eyes turned on them.

Hermione said that was the only death eater not capture and was spotted near Hogwarts right? Harry said it was a woman, her clothing in shambles, and she was cursing Potter from inside the forest. Could that be who attacked Potter?" Draco said with a look to his Godfather and McGonagall.

"It was a dark curse and very well could be. Draco call your owl, send a note to your father immediately." Snape ordered as he went to get parchment and a quill.

"I shall floo the Minister as well." McGonagall said as she walked into Pomfrey's office to use her floo network.

Draco went to the infirmary window and whistled into the night sky. Soon the owl flew over and landed on the sill before hopping on Draco's arm. Draco wrote the note and attached it to the bird's legs firmly.

"Go directly to father as fast you can, it's urgent." He told the bird as he held his arm off the window and the owl took off. Draco shut the window and walked over to Weasley holding out hand.

"What's this for?" Ron asked curiously not taking his hand just yet.

"For trusting me to help you find Potter because Granger was in bed sick," Draco said and Ron smiled and clasped his hand with his.

"You're not a bad bloke anymore according to Harry. Though I still kick your arse in chess," Ron said and he burst out laughing as Draco yanked back his hand and huffed away in annoyance.

"In your dreams Weasley, last I remember we were tied." Draco said grumbling to himself as he sat down. He took Bonnie's hand and she just smiled at him.

"Someone call the Minister, the ice prince is melting." Bonnie commented and that made the Gryffindor's snicker.

"Oh shut it, you're hurt, go to sleep." Draco snapped though there was no heat behind the retort.

"And miss teasing you, I don't think so. Laughter is the best medicine after all." Draco smiled deviously and tickled Bonnie who tried not to scream with laughter.

"No stop it! Mercy! Mercy on the wounded," Bonnie said between fits of laughter.

"Malfoy, stop tormenting the poor girl or I'll have you sit in the Slytherin common room until she's healed." Pomfrey threatened and Draco immediately stopped and sat down biting back a grin.

"Pomfrey I'm going to make you a plaque that says in this wing Pomfrey's word is law. Even though everyone in Magical London already knows that," Pomfrey laughed and patted her leg affectionately before Snape came out of the room with McGonagall.

"They are sending auror's now along with your father Mister Malfoy to look for Alecto Carrow in the forest. I also called Remus and Sirius for you Harry Remus offered his help should they need anything, and said to get better. Sirius is on his way. It's a good thing you cleared those charges against him, I'm not found of a dog roaming my halls." McGonagall stated as Snape practically growled at the name. She figured he didn't like Sirius much.

"Hey Draco," Bonnie asked getting his attention, "Why does Snape look like he's about to explode?" Bonnie asked in a hush tone, but Snape still heard her.

"When you meet him, and I'm sure you will, you'll find out why we do not get along. I went to school Harry's Godfather as well." Snape spoke ignoring Harry's eye roll. Bonnie laid back and figured she might as well get some sleep since it was after ten o'clock now. It was going to be a long day tomorrow.

Bonnie was awoken by Snape at half past eight. She tried to roll over and go back to bed when she heard a muttered charm. Her face was then drenched in freezing cold water. She shot up into bed and tried to wipe the water off as Snape did a drying charm on her face. He had a pleasant smirk on his face as she grumbled about getting rudely awakened. She forgave him when he handed her a cup of orange juice.

"Glad to see you have awakened Miss Bonnie. I would like to inform you that they have indeed found Alecto. She was captured by Draco's father earlier this morning, she's now in Azkaban. The dementors are going to perform a kiss." Snape said as Bonnie nodded and sat up. Snape took a look at her wounds and the ones on her faces had all healed except a rather deep one on her jaw. Snape put a light coating of her balm on her forehead and cheek where the cuts were so they would not re-open. He then took his time adding a few balms to the healing wound on her jaw before putting gauze over it and sealed it. He nodded in satisfaction before working on her arm which was the worst. The beast had actually taken a chunk out of her arm so she had to re-grow it. Bonnie looked over to look at the beast and realized it was gone as Snape spoke.

"A few auror's took the beast with them to the ministry as well." Snape said concentrating on her arm. Pomfrey had quietly awoken Harry before she worked on re-applying the potions to the cursed area.

"Good, I'm glad all that's taken care of. I don't think it's over though." Bonnie said solemnly and fiddled with the bed sheets. Snape put two fingers under her chin and made her look up at him.

"McGonagall will have Auror's patrolling the castle and the grounds for the next week. Even after they leave, we will all sty on high alert until this person is caught. I promise to protect you." Snape said softly with a slight smile on his face. Bonnie smiled at his words and hugged him with her unwounded arm. Snape froze stiff before he relaxed into the hug and placed a comforting hand on her back.

"Thank you." Bonnie whispered into his ear before pulling away. Snape nodded and continued his work on her arm. Draco wasn't in the room, but she assumed that since his father was here, he would be with him. Her eyes widened in realization as Snape finished tending to her wounds.

"Snape," he looked up at her eyebrow raised, "Has Draco told his dad about me?" Snape's lips curled into a smile.

"I was wondering when that would click into your mind. I picked out some clothes for you and setup the bathroom for you just in case you should feel the need to primp up." Snape quickly set a water repelling charm on her gauzed areas before watching her scramble out of bed. Snape laughed to himself as he heard the door clicked shut. He'd never seen Bonnie move so fast in her life. Snape was busy helping Poppy with clean up when Sirius burst in through the doors of the hospital wing.

"Harry!" He called out and rushed to the boy's side hugging him and apologizing when he groaned. Harry had a large smile plastered on his face regardless.

"Sirius, I'm glad you're here." Harry said patting his arm.

"I came as soon as Minerva called. I read the paper and Minerva told me this wasn't the first incident. You should have called me sooner my boy." Sirius said patting Harrys shoulder as Snape huffed in the background.

"Oh look who's crawled out from his cave." Sirius drawled in an all too happy tone. Snape glared at the man as he folded his arms across his chest.

"I see they still let you roam around you mangy mutt. Did you remember to get a flea bath?" Snape shot back as Sirius came over in his face.

"At least I wasn't branded was I Snivelly?" Bonnie came between the two boys and pushed them apart.

"Whoa now boys, let's just relax. Sir I think you should be worrying about your godson, not sparing with my Professor."

"Oh, I see you've corrupted yet another minion Snivelleus. From America no less," Sirius shot back pushing Bonnie aside.

"Grow up you impudent little cockroach." Snape growled at the man staring down his nose at him.

"Why don't you go play with your Chemistry set?" Sirius growled back as McGonagall, Draco , and Lucius walked in to see Bonnie push Sirius away from Snape.

"Hey jackass, lay off my guardian or I will personally show you what Snape and I can do with one of our Chemistry sets. Snape saved my life, so why don't you cut the crap." Bonnie growled at the man and he took a step back. Snape was practically radiating acceptance behind her before placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I would be careful Sirius," McGonagall spoke from behind him making him spin around. "The sorting hat couldn't decide where to put her. She's also a friend of Harry's, Slytherin or not." Sirius went slack jawed as he looked over to see his godson sitting up and looking at him with a displeased expression.

"Sirius, just come over here, I'll explain everything." Harry said motioning to the chair next to his bed. Bonnie's hair was still wet and soaking her back as she turned to Snape. He was smirking deviously at her and gave her a nod.

"Ten points to Slytherin for successfully shutting up Black." Bonnie was about to remark when she heard an unfamiliar voice behind her.

"Oh come now Severus, I believe she earned at last thirty. After all, we tried to shut him up for years and she did it in a matter of seconds. Though I did not approve of the ladies language, it was properly directed." Bonnie slowly turned towards the voice after gulping. She was wearing dark black skinny jeans and a simple blue button down rolled sleeves collared shirt. She took one look at the long blonde haired man standing next to Draco and felt extremely under dressed.

"Hello, I don't believe we've met yet. Draco has told me he has been courting you for the past week. I do hope he has been behaving. My name is Lucius Malfoy, Draco's father." Lucius said with a polite smile and Bonnie cast a drying charm on her hair and wet shirt with a switch of her index finger.

"Pleasure to meet you Mister Malfoy, I just wish it were under better conditions than this. I'm Bonnie as I'm sure Draco has told you." Lucius looked shocked at her wand less magic then smiled at her.

"Very good manners and I couldn't help but notice your wand less magic. Are you completely wand less?" He asked curiously though she saw Draco's glance to his father. She chuckled softly and nodded.

"Yes, I tried using a wand, and blew up each one I tried using." She commented making Lucius laugh and that helped her nerves.

"She's also quite gifted in potions. She actually made her own balm which Pomfrey uses often. After I of course made sure it was completely for the students." Snape spoke with pride and she felt her cheeks warm.

"It was wonderful meeting you," He kissed her hand and gave a curt nod to both Snape and Draco before sauntering out like he owned the place.

"Guess I learned who you got your saunter from." Bonnie teased Draco who came over and poked her sides.

"Oh sod off, I am glad he liked you though. My father isn't exactly easy to please. I filled him in on mostly everything. I left out the whole change bit. Didn't need to give him a heart attack today anyways," Draco said pulling her into a hug and went over to Pomfrey when she called him over.

"He's right; I've been friends with Luscious for a long time. He is a very hard man to please. I'm not surprised that he took to you so quickly." Bonnie turned to face Snape and tucked to her hair behind her ear.

"Thanks, I'm glad he didn't write me off. I don't need my boyfriend's date to hate me after the first meeting. Oh and who gave you bragging rights Mister?" Bonnie asked putting her hands on her hips raising an eyebrow at Snape.

"Since you made me your guardian apparently," Snape spoke back and was watching her reaction carefully.

"You'll be my guardian, really? I mean you could think about it if you wanted to, no pressure. McGonagall did give us until the break to decide things and if you don't want to do it then I totally understand. After all it's not like I asked you in private and consulted you properly before I burst out saying it-" Snape raised a hand to pause her babbling with an amused smile.

"It will suffice. The look of Black's face was well worth it." Snape said and Bonnie hugged him around his middle with a bright smile. Snape was taken aback before she felt his pat her back. She let go and laughed when she found Harry's hands firmly clasped over Sirius's mouth. Snape motioned for Bonnie to go tell McGonagall as Draco finished what Pomfrey asked for and walked over to Snape.

"Not a word of that to anyone Mister Malfoy or I should tell your father just the lack of courting you have been doing." Snape said in a monotonous voice as Draco immediately closed his mouth, retort dying on his lips.
