Hey Guys I am back. I still have health issues but they are more manageable so you can expect more regular update (hopefully).
Today it actually a year and 2 months since I published this fanfic and I want to thank anyone who has stayed or enjoys the story, getting reviews and emails encourages me.
It is also my 20th birthday today (6th April) so I thought I would celebrate by posting.
What do you think should happen with Hermione? I am neutral do you think she should remain friends, become an enemy of become a background character?

As the group walked into the classroom. They felt the searching eyes of the teaches as they went in and sat down on the old and worn out desks.
"Explain" Professor Snape demanded
They all looked at each other, the twins were clearly the most nervous of the group. Inside the bond calmly thoughts were being sent their way to try and calm them. The lyracanites all know how close they were to being found out. If Rose had lost control at best she would have been imprisoned and everyone would get their memories whipped, most likely Rose would have been killed for being a dangerous beast. If any of the lyracanites had been attacked they would have to take the beating. While they are hiding they are trapped as they have to pretend to be humans, they cannot let anyone know about their powers as they will be feared, they can never show there pure selves.
Lance sighed and said "Rose went to the bathroom just after the train left the station. When she did not return with in an hour we were a bit worried but thought she had meet up with some of her other friends. We decided to look for her when we were approaching Hogsmead as she left her robes in our compartment." Lance took a small pause to look at the others in the room. To make sure they all understood what he was saying and to ensure the rest of the lyracanites will go along with the story.
"We eventually found her after hearing a broom fall over in a supply cupboard. Her hands and feet were tied up, her cane and glasses were badly smashed and due to how she was stuffed in the cupboard parts of the glass had cut into her foot. She was clearly confused and scared and close to panicking when we found her. Charlie had already made arrangements to contact Draco using a two way mirror that Draco had given her for Christmas. Rose has it in a protected bag that is hidden from view unless she decides to show anyone, it never leaves her side. You saw what happened next." Lance finished.
The teachers just stared at the group shock and disbelief rolling off them that the full lyracanites could smell.
"What else are you hiding?" Professor Snape demanded.
"What?!" Damien exclaimed
"On the stairs you said she thought he was there. Where is there?" Snape said anger in his voice. Clearly annoyed that they were hiding something from him when she thought he could trust them.
"That's not my story to tell" Damien snapped back.
"I thought you trusted me" Snape said a small hint of hurt showing not enough to me noticed by the untrained but enough for everyone in the room. He glared at Flitwick not caring if he had to threaten his colleague until next year this group of students always brought out the humanity in him.
"We do" Harrison replied.
"It is a hard and difficult story to tell, and before you ask it is not mine to tell" Jaime said.
"Whose is it then?" Snape demanded anger in his voice.
"Severus please calm down" Flitwick pleaded.
"Who's" He demanded again, noticing the angry glares of the group in front of him.
"Mine and Rose's" Tom said tears in his eyes as he remembered the felling of confusion and the pain of being tied down for over 30 years. Although he was asleep for most of it he still felt the feeling of abandonment, the feeling of the spell pulling him apart, the feeling of the chains, and finally after being told the full story the finally of being used and abused. How his name was used by a murder and yet the shade come from him, he still felt regret and remorse for what the shade had done even though he had never known the people or been near the place.
Snape visibly calmed after seeing how upset Tom was.
"Tom" Harrison said pulling him into a hug with the others standing protectively around the boys. "We are never ever going back, I promise."
"I thought we left that life behind but seeing Rose like that" Tom whimpered
"She's a tough nut to crack, she will be fine by the morning and she is probably already thinking of ways of escaping." Lance said with a slight hint of amusement in his voice.
Tom looked at the teacher then only at Snape. "Rose wanted to tell you but she didn't for me. I do not want any more pity, I just want to ignore it and pretend that it did not happen." Tom said between sobs "please don't tell anyone"
"I promise that anything you say will not leave this room. I am going to put up privacy charms that is all." Professor Snape explained as he pulled out his wand, noticing how Tom flinched. "Done"
"When I was three our parents were murdered by one of Voldemort's supports. They were later captured and given the dementors kiss. Being half-blood it took a while to realise me and Harrison had survived as we were at our muggles aunt house, she arranged to have us placed in an orphanage after hearing the news." Tom said he took a deep breath and lent on Tom for support the others also moved closer willing to provide comfort if it was needed.
"For Harrison is was just that, but we were separated. Harrison was a good kid a display kid. I was a freak, a prisoner, a toy. Day in and out I was tortured. We were told not to make a sound, you quickly learnt not to scream of if you did you screamed on the inside. I thought I was alone and that no one was like me, I was just a freak but then one month in I heard a scream it was raw and filled with so much pain I could not help but flinch at it. I still get nightmares about the scream. Rose was in another cell. The cells were old offices that were kept in the basement. I don't know what they did to her but that was the only time I heard her scream. Every day I wished that someone would save me. It took two years for me and Rose in a shed. Rose was tied to the wall but it was clear that she would not have been able to run. I was unable to move at all it hurt too much. Rose crawled over and went to help me but we were too far away. If we had not been found I truly believe that they were going to kill us. They would say it was an unfortunate accident that we were able to get into the shed. I did not tell you because I don't want to see pity. Professor Flitwick only knows because he saw how me and Rose acted the first day. I don't want anyone to pity the freak" Tom said no longer caring about the tears falling or that he was shaking.
Professor Snape started at the group as flashed from his own childhood filled his memory. When he came around he noticed that everyone was staring at him.
"Thank you for telling me, I am sorry that I pushed you. I will not give you any pity but you do have my respect. All of you. You are aware of each other's misfortunes and despite all of this you have formed such a close bond I am worried about anyone that dares harm one of you." Professor Snape said calmly and confidently. "And Flitwick if you tell anyone I acted like this they will never find your body."
"You mean that you acted human." Flitwick replied.
Snape sneered
"Don't worry after all what happened and what was said will not leave this room." Flitwick said amusement in his eyes.
"Off to bed all of you or it will be detention for a month." Snape snapped as the students made their way back to the common room.
