Sirius abruptly finished his story as the fireplace lit emerald green, Remus stepped out of the fire and bushed the soot off his clothes, his face bore a smirk across his face, his eyes lighter than Harry had ever seen them before on a full moon.
"What's got you in a twist Moony?" asked Harry curiously
"Well" glancing at Sirius "The headmaster has given me the job he promised and a little more, he wants me to teach a voluntary defence against the dark arts club for all those who believe the Dark Lord has returned and train them to defend themselves more practically so that we are o step ahead this time around"
"That sounds great Moony, I defiantly know the Weasleys ad Hermione would be up for it"
"Well I'm glad to hear that, talking about the Weasleys Dumbledore thought it would be best if they arrive tomorrow morning, you now being cooped up in here all summer isn't good for you Harry"
"Yeah, I guess" replied Harry, trying to hide his anxiety about the whole thing "But it's the full moon tonight, wont you be sore?" he asked trying to prevent his friends coming, he knew they would be more suspicious than the two Marauders, they'd bug him until they told him what was going on, or got something out of him. Harry knew if his friends came he would not be able to feel the comfort from his blade much."
"Ok, cool" replied Harry, trying to sound positive
"Why don't we all eat and have an early night, so we can have a less grumpy teenager and werewolf tomorrow morning" Said Sirius
"Oi, who are you calling grumpy Padfoot?" said Harry and Remus in unison, both scuffing up his hair knowing he hated it, he stood up and turned into his dog form and jumped up onto the table. He started licking Hrry and Remus, his fur all scruffy like his hair.
"Padfoot!" Harry laughed "you win, you win we'll go to bed after some food. Padfoot changed back to human, smirked and started to cook food. Remus went to help him as their backs were turned Harry put his head in his hands negative thoughts bombarding him. You don't deserve this food, you didn't cook it you lazy arrogant freak. They only keep you about because they have to, on Dumbledore's orders. Yu should have let Voldemort kill you, you are a mess, you let Cedric get killed. Harry was shook from his own mind when he heard someone calling his name.
"Harry, would you like beans or peas with this?"
"Beans please"
"No worries"
Harry made sure he wasn't overwhelmed with his thoughts as dinner was put on the table luckily the conversation drifted to quidditch as they ate their food. The Chudley Cannons were on a good run and may be able to win the league this season. Harry struggled to eat the food even though it was a small portion. He made sure he ate it all and after quickly excused himself to bed.
Harry went up to his room to get his blade before going into the bathroom. Initially he threw up the food he just ate until he couldn't no more. He then cleaned up and let himself release the overwhelming feelings on his arm. He didn't realise how deep he was going, he even came to the conclusion that he didn't care what happened.
He didn't know how long he was in there before he heard the Marauders climbing the stirs. Panicked he quickly cleaned up and found an old bottle of perfume and sprayed it all over the bathroom and hoped that Remus' werewolf sensed wouldn't pick up the metallic smell of blood.
Unfortunately, there was a soft knock on the door. Harry opened the door and looked at the people outside. Luckily there was no hint of worry on their faces just curiosity.
"Harry, I'm not going to let you turn into my mother, this place smells like the wretched woman, what have you done?"
"I just found it and wondered what it smelt like" exclaimed Harry, trying to sound calm
"Like it's not strong enough already. I thought I had cleared this bloody house clean of this stuff, I thought I'd never have to smell it again. Oh well I'm glad you have found it I always wondered why Creature is always in here and always smelling of it. Give it here" said Sirius seriously "Now off to bed with you" Harry nodded as h made his way past the Marauders. Remus still looked the same as he did when he opened the door, curious even suspicious. Harry hoped that he didn't suspect anything or eve if it was part of the full moon.
He went into his room and got ready for bed. He put a silencing charm around his bed so that no one would hear him in the night. He tossed and turned for a while, he couldn't sleep the anxiety was too much. The Weasleys and Hermione are coming in the morning, they will be suspicious, you didn't answer their letters, they will hate you, you deserve hem to shout at you, you don't deserve their company. You are better off dead, punish yourself, keep doing it, you deserve it. They will know something is up and you better not show them how weak you are, you are supposed to be the chosen one saviour of the wizarding world.
His mind stopped as he heard a howl from upstairs, he knew Remus' transformation was complete. He listened to him running about for a bit before settling down to sleep, he did the same, there was something comforting about the werewolf. He drifted off quite peacefully until his nightmare returned… it was the very same one.
Harry was surrounded by the people dearest to him looking livid "What have you done Harry?" whispered his mother's voice.
"You have shamed our family" said his father's voice. "I would have thought you were better than this"
"He killed me because you let him do it. Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you save me?" Snarled an angry Cedric.
"No, Cedric No, I couldn't stop him. CECRIC PLEASE" Harry shouted in return, so he could hear him. The ghostly figures turned their backs and walked away leaving him to the mercy of the dark lord. "No, NO!" Harry yelled.
Harry sat bolt upright and realised what had woken him up, Sirius' dear mother was shouting in the hallway and a persisting knock at the door. The Weasleys were here…
