Chapter 29

Harry and Bella spent all their free time together over the rest of the semester; she would watch him train or they would find a quiet place where they could be together. Harry and Draco had still not continued speaking but Hermione had taken to spending more time with Draco which made Harry feel like he was wrong. He needed Draco though; so he wrote Sirius and found out if he and Lupin could come up to Hogwarts to have dinner with them.

They decided to come up on the evening of the full moon so that Moony could run around the Forbidden Forest with Sirius; they arrived at around five and saw Hermione running down to the dungeons with a potion in her hand. Sirius watched as she missed the trick step and went flying; Neville managed to catch her to everyone's surprise but the vial was smashed.

"No!" she cried

"Hermione don't worry about it, we can try and explain it to the Professor, I'm sure it was for extra credit" Harry said trying to console her

"No, it wasn't for school" she said

"Who was it for?" Sirius asked

"No one" she said and took off down the passage

"Why is your life so exciting pup?" Sirius asked

"Hey I hope you're not thinking about leaving it" Harry said sternly

"Definitely not, it's more exciting than when James was alive. He would have loved being with us" Lupin said while Sirius nodded

They walked up to one of the meeting room that the Headmaster had allowed them to use; they arrived and found that the elves had done quite a good job of making the room decent.

"They never cease to amaze me, but why so many chairs?" Harry asked

"We decided to give all your friends a chance to see their parents" Sirius said as the rest of the group's adults arrived. The Grangers looked amazed at everything that was happening

"This place is so amazing" Hermione's dad said but she still looked nervous

"Yes it is!" her mom said

The group sat down for supper and had an amazing time; everyone was reminiscing about their Hogwarts days while Draco had sat between his mom and Sirius. She was complaining about how skinny he had gotten and Sirius had been making jokes about he looked like Remus and everyone but Hermione and Draco laughed

"No!" Harry said "Please tell me it isn't true" Harry said to Draco at the one end of the table

But it had been too late the sun had set and the moon was out; Lupin started shaking.

"Harry we have a problem" Bella called from the other end of the table

"I know, Draco is a werewolf" he said getting people to the other end of the room

"Harry, Remus hasn't had his potion" Sirius said looking at the other end of the table

Sirius grabbed a shaking Draco by his shirt and threw him across the room to where Remus was

"Everyone get this side" he shouted as the rest of the room got behind Harry and Sirius

"Sirius we're going to need Padfoot to make an appearance" Harry said and tossed off his robes

"It's not going to be enough" Sirius said panicking

"It won't be" Harry said pulling his wand

"Don't hurt him" Narcissa said

"Bella get Dobby to get you out of here while Sirius and I try and keep them back" he said

The group all held hands and Dobby apparated them out of the room to safety

Sirius had taken his Animagus form and was dodging blows from Remus who was clearly the bigger threat. Draco came after Harry and he cast non-lethal spells but they weren't helping him at all as they all just bounced off Draco.

Draco pressed him into a corner and took a wild swing which Harry dodged but lost his wand in the process.

"Fuck it" he said and lunged at Draco and transformed into a black panther. He jumped over the werewolf Draco and bolted to the corner where Remus had forced Sirius into

Sirius was taken by surprise when the panther knocked Remus into the wall with all its force, next they tag teamed Draco and managed to knock him out too.

Sirius transformed back into himself and cast a spell to force Harry back into his human form; which was a painful process for Harry. While Harry recovered he put chain and muzzles on both werewolves

"What the hell was that?" Sirius said sitting in front of Harry

"There's been rumours that people have been seeing and hearing werewolves but we dismissed it"

"Someone must have been making him Wolfsbane, he went down like a tame werewolf not like Remus was in the beginning" Sirius said

"Hermione" Harry said "That's why she was so panicked earlier"

"And you what the hell was that panther?" Sirius asked

"I've been reading up on transformations and I was being pressed into a corner so I went for it" Harry said

"That was stupid, you could have hurt yourself" Sirius shouted him

"I know but we were in trouble and I didn't want to hurt Draco" Harry said embarrassed that Sirius was being so firm with him "I failed him Sirius" he said

"You did, but we'll deal with that tomorrow morning. You need to go to Madam Pomfrey and get checked out, tell her everything that happened so she'll be expecting Draco tomorrow as well" he instructed and watch Harry leave

"Dobby!" he called

"Yes Master Doggy" the elf smiled

"Take these two to the dungeons in Grimmauld place" he said and started straightening his robes. Once he left the room he saw the rest of the group waiting for him

"Is Draco okay?" Hermione asked first

"Yes Hermione but you should have told everyone what was happening with Draco. I commend you for being able to deal with it on your own for almost 8 months but you could have gotten hurt sweety" he said and gave her a hug

"Where is he now?" Narcissa asked

"I've had Dobby take him to Grimmauld place, in the dungeon so don't try and see him yet" Sirius said "I'll make sure he is okay, no one ever needs to know about his condition" Sirius said to the entire group

Everyone nodded

"Now, Bella check on Harry and have him meet me in an hour at the main doors. Everyone else; tonight was a success as far as everyone other than us is concerned. Harry and Draco made up and realised they were just stupid teens"

"Sounds like you've done this before Sirius" Johnathan joked as he rounded the corner

"I have unfortunately" he said "I guess I'm summoned to the Headmasters office?"

"Invited" the Headmaster smiled

"Same thing" Sirius said and the group laughed at him
