Ch. 80

Chiara Lobosca

Dolores was patrolling the corridors of Hogwarts. She got away with her crimes again because she spent two days hiding after the centaurs dragged her away as punishment for her insults, though she would never acknowledge that and instead go with victim blaming. Upon hearing some howling coming from somewhere within the forest, the crazy toad strolled over to investigate. When she strolled deeper into the forest, a booby trap in the form of a magic-suppression net was activated when she stepped on it. Umbridge desperately tried to free herself even with taking a knife out to cut the net open, only to discover that it had an anti-cutting charm placed on it. Then Dolores found herself getting surrounded by a group of angry people who had graying hair and some scars that came from scratches. She even spotted Harry approaching her with a woman about average height for a lady and she had chin-length silver hair, blue eyes, and gray eyebrows. The mysterious woman was dressed in a gray short-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and dark-gray boots, and was wearing a moonstone pendant around her neck. She and Harry flashed a paralyzing glare at the frightened toad of a woman caught in the net. Next to the woman was a gray-fur wolf with brown eyes and had a bark sounding alot like 'borf' when it barked threateningly in the toad's direction.

"What is the meaning of this?" Umbridge demanded, trying very hard (but having very little success) not to sound frightened.

"To tell you that your days of terrorizing others are over," Harry told the toad, in a rather furious voice. "And that it's time for you to get your comeuppance."

"Yes," said one of the unidentified men in the group surrounding the toad dressed in pink cardigan. "You're the main reason why us werewolves cannot hold jobs because of that stupid legislation you proposed and succeeded in signing it into law. We came back to extract revenge on you. Harry and Chiara have been helping us out in making sure that we're taken care of."

"I'm Chiara Lobosca, toadie," the woman next to Harry told the crazy undersecretary, rather fiercely. "This spot in the forbidden forest was where I had to go once a month during my school days for transforming into my werewolf form. I happened to graduate from Hogwarts a couple years before Harry started. There's a cabin I stay in somewhere in the woods that's not a part of this forest, past the shrieking shack. I came across Harry on the first Hogsmeade weekend during his third year, where he was complaining about his rotten luck. When he spotted me, he backed away because he believed at first that I was out to get him. But Harry eased up and warmed up to me after I assured him that I wasn't a threat before I approached him and explained how his life and my life had some similarities. Harry had rotten luck in gaining acceptance for who he is and not for his fame as the Boy-Who-Lived, while I had rotten luck in gaining acceptance into society because of my status as a werewolf. I even invited him into my cabin so we could take some time to get to know each other."

"My friendship with Chiara strengthened more over time, especially in my fourth year when most of Hogwarts gave me the cold shoulder once more," Harry told Dolores. "Since I've been using every chance I got to spend time with Chiara and she's been helping me out in many ways my former best friends, Ron and Hermione, would never do even in their normal dreams. She even helped me out in understanding werewolves more even if I'm not prejudiced against them. I've been helping Chiara out in researching a cure for lycanthropy, but also a stronger treatment just in case the cure takes longer, which is likely to happen."

"Well, I can get you exiled from the country, Potter," Umbridge tried threatening him, with an evil grin on her face. "Since you're a werewolf sympathizer and a supporter for werewolf rights."

"Well, guess what, Umbitch," Harry replied in a snide voice. "The Potters have alot of money, something Dumbledore neglected to tell me. You try to do anything to me and I'll make sure you find yourself in hot water."

"Yes," Chiara told Dolores in a no-nonsense voice. "The Potter have even more money than the Malfoys. Unlike them, or at least Lucius and Draco, Harry doesn't boast about his fame and wealth, he tries to keep as low of a profile as he can. You try to pull any stunts on Harry and he'll make sure your worst nightmare, get my drift?"

"Now's the time for you to get your comeuppance, toadie." said Harry firmly.

He and Chiara loosened the net and made it drop the toad. Refusing to give up and keep her crimes concealed, Dolores whipped her wand out, aimed it at Chiara and tried stupefying her. Harry and Chiara were faster and both fired stinging hexes at the toad to give the stunning a double effect. The wolf next to Chiara ran and pounced on the toad in anger to see it's owner and her friend getting threatened. The wolf began attacking the toad in retaliation, to the point where it managed to slice Umbridge's jugular veins. It didn't take long for the toad to die from hypovolemic shock, much to the delight of everybody surrounding the toad's corpse.

"Good boy, borf!" Harry and Chiara praised the wolf, giving it affectionate pets as the rest of those infected with lycanthropy cheered.

Then Harry and Chiara left the toad's corpse in the middle of the forest to be consumed by any creature that spotted it, then they led their friends back to the cabin where Chiara stayed in. Upon opening the door, there was actually a tunnel. Everybody walked in and followed it, eventually leading them to a private island owned by the Potters. Harry set this island up for those infected with lycanthropy and Remus Lupin greeted everybody with a wave. Sirius also walked outside to greet his godson and the rest of the crowd. The building on the island was a home for those who had lycanthropy and they could live there free of charge. There was also a potions lab where Harry and Sirius could go to research better treatment and even a cure.

"I'm proud of you, Harry, for helping my kind out!" Chiara praised him, giving his forehead a kiss and making Harry blush. "I don't know if we can possibly thank you enough."

"I don't want a reward in return," Harry told Chiara. "I'm just doing this to make our world a better place to live in."

Chiara put an arm around Harry's shoulders affectionately, then the two followed Remus and Sirius inside to continue helping those infected with lycanthropy. With Umbridge dead, Harry didn't have to worry about her getting under his hair anymore. For the first time, luck was on Harry's side."

The End!

Author's note: I'd like to give a shoutout to the anonymous reviewer 'Nicholas' for suggesting that Harry not only get paired with Chiara, but that those infected with lycanthropy get even with the toad by having her run into them and rip her a new one for making them live in poverty and forbid them from having jobs.
