"First, we're going to need to find Pettigrew." BR
"How are we going to do that?"BR
"A tracking charm. I'll need help with that, though."BR
"I can help," Hermione volunteered.BR
"Of course you can. I need all the help I can get. The more help I have, the stronger the charm is and the farther it will stretch, so we'll be more likely to find Pettigrew sooner."BR
"I'll help, too, if you need it," Harry said.BR
"And me," Ron offered.BR
"I would if I could, Melissa, and you know that. I'm sorry," Remus said.BR
"I understand," Melissa said.BR
"Why can't you, Professor Lupin?" Ron asked.BR
"You see, the charm has to be performed on the full moon to be able to work properly."BR
"On the full moon? Why?"BR
"It has something to do with the arrangement of the stars. On the full moon, the stars are alligned perfectly so that the charm will be able to take effect."BR
"So we have to perform it on the full moon for it to work? I get it, I guess."BR
"Are there any other things we need to know?" Harry asked.BR
"Well, if this works............."BR
"You sure seem confident, Liss," Remus said.BR
"Remus, I've been trying this for fourteen years. I haven't found Pettigrew yet!"BR
"So you mean you've been doing this for that long and it still hasn't worked? What makes this any different than then?" Ron asked.BR
"I would have thought you had figured it out," Melissa said.BR
"I understand. The more people, the more power. With all four of us, we should be able to perform a charm strong enough to cover all of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and a little beyond. And after tonight, we know Pettigrew can't be that far away."BR
"But who knows how far he'll be by the full moon?"BR
"This is a chance we'll have to take, Ron. Just give it a try!"BR
"It's hopeless."BR
"Ron, do it for me, please! You know what it would do for me," Harry said.BR
"Oh, fine! When's the next full moon?"BR
"Next Saturday. Meet me here. I'm just hoping this works."BR
"You know what? We could get Dumbledore to help!" Hermione said, "He knows the truth."BR
"Of course! The stronger, the better! Anyone else who would help?"BR
"Dumbledore might be able to get McGonagall, and I'm sure Fred, George, and Ginny would help."BR
"This is great! That's nearly ten of us!"BR
"You've forgotten me," said a voice from the shadows. Harry knew that voice........ It was.............BR
"How are we going to do that?"BR
"A tracking charm. I'll need help with that, though."BR
