Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except Stewart, Lewd Xaven/owl. Here is chapter 6! (sorry it took a while!)

Chapter 6: The Brew

1 Potions dungeon

"Where is the-," Lewd was demanding of Snape, but then he turned to see Harry. "Harry. Harry Potter." He threw Snape who then hit the stone walls. Snape started to cough.

Harry immediately went to Ron and Hermione's sides, shaking them. "Wake up. Wake up. Wake-"

"They will eventually. And if you don't help me, they never will," Lewd said, taking out his wand and yelled out some spell. Harry felt something grip his right leg, and before he knew it he had been dragged to Lewd's side.

"Get up, boy. Before I make you."

Harry got up, and could see that Lewd was very tall. He avoided his penetrating stare.

"Harry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-," a voice behind Harry said. Harry turned around and saw Stewart. Lewd pointed his wand and tape covered Stewart's mouth.

"Harry, I'm not that good at mind-reading as a human, but I can tell that you know something," Lewd paced around the room, and stopped again in front of Harry. "Tell- me- where- it- is?" Lewd said, pronouncing each word carefully, as if Harry was an idiot.

"Where- is- what?" Harry said, knowing it was wrong to mock him.

"Don't be stupid," Lewd said and carelessly slapped Harry right across the face. It hurt. Harry bit his lip and held his cheek. He thought he was crying, but it was really Stewart. Lewd started pacing again. "The brew? Where is it? Have you seen it? Maybe it was in a pouch or a box?"

Suddenly, a flash of memory jolted in Harry's brain. A few days ago, or maybe yesterday (Harry's mind couldn't keep track of the days, what with all his dreams and secret door stuff), Harry remembered seeing a girl coming into the potions dungeon with a paper bag. She had given it to Snape? But where was it now?

Harry tried distracting Lewd so that he could think. "How- are you human? You haven't drunk the potion yet."

"Oh and I thought you did your research! Idiot boy needs that witch girl to find everything out for him, huh?! Look, once the eclipse comes, I become temporarily human. I need the stupid brew to become human permanently! And I don't have that much time, so if you don't mind."

"I'm not sure I should tell you," Harry said. "What made you become an owl in the first place?"

Lewd went up to Harry and leaned down so low that they were face to face. "Don't you even." Harry closed his mouth and eyes, afraid of Lewd's spit. "Don't play games. Don't be a smart alleck. You're trying to distract me." Lewd stood up straight and looked around.

Harry looked out the corner of his eye at a shelf full of potions. There was a locked box in the back corner of that shelf.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" Lewd shouted out in rage. Then, he went crazy. He started emptying drawers right and left. He threw things off of Snape's desk. Things broke as they landed onto the floor.

Snape growled. "Hey! Don't touch that stuff you stinkin-"

But before Snape could finish, Lewd picked up a small but heavy mini- statue that was on Snape's desk and threw it right on the side of his face. Snape got knocked out and Harry closed his eyes and didn't turn to look at Snape anymore.

Lewd started to empty more drawers and snap locks open. Harry looked over to the side and saw the locked box, glittering with jewels. Harry slowly, hands on his wand, slid over as Lewd was searching. Harry was so close to the shelf. He tried stretching his hand, but he couldn't reach.

"Little boy? Do you need something from up there?"

Harry's eyes widened as he turned around to see Lewd right behind him. Lewd pushed him out of the way and started throwing things out. Harry stared in horror as Lewd got a hold of the box.

"I wonder." Lewd said as he shook it. It made noise. Then he smashed the lock and it shattered into hundreds of pieces.

Stewart moaned louder. He tried getting up with the help of Snape's shoulder, but Harry noticed he kept rubbing his left knee.

Lewd smiled and snapped the lid open. It actually broke, and fell onto the ground. Harry had since realized that Lewd was extraordinarily strong.

Inside was a small brown paper bag. And inside of that was a small bottle with blue/yellow contents. Lewd smiled and popped the bottle open.

Stewart began to wail and scream, trying to rip the tape off.

"No!" Harry ran to Lewd, but Lewd pushed him aside, his eyes never leaving the bottle. He lifted the bottle and all the contents poured into his mouth.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Harry yelled, as Stewart cried and wailed.

Lewd laughed evilly as he threw the brew aside. Harry felt shocked. Stupid. How was it possible that he could defeat Voldemort and not this guy?

"I feel it bubbling-" But then Lewd stopped. Harry stared as Lewd looked like he was going to throw it up. "What the-"

Harry frowned and so did Stewart. Lewd wasn't turning into anything. He was also still talking- yelling- but no sound was coming out of his mouth.

Lewd looked at Harry. He mouthed 'you' and started to walk towards him, only he fell. His legs seemed to have become some kind of rubber. He could not talk or move his legs.

Harry immediately ripped the tape off of Stewart's mouth. He helped Stewart get up.

"I don't think that was the brew," Stewart said, grinning.

"Me neither," Harry said searching the shelves for the real brew. On one shelf, behind potion books, Harry noticed a small door in the wall. It was locked.

"*Alohomora*," He said, and then opened the door. There was a small brown paper bag. He pocketed it, and closed the little door.

Harry noticed the eclipse fading away, at the same time that Lewd was turning back into an owl. Harry used a Summoning spell, to summon an owl's cage from the Owlery, and then placed Lewd in it.

Harry heard a thump.

He turned around to see Stewart kicking Snape. "What did you do that for?"

"Can't I kick him? He's the one who's failing me!"

"Hu," Harry said, wanting to kick Snape too. "No! Can you- just call for help." Harry said.

***

"I can't believe we missed it all," Ron said angrily. "We were knocked out just like that, right when we got in," Ron said.

Harry, Ron and Hemione were in the hospital wing. Ron and Hermione had beds that were next to each other, Stewart was three beds down from them, and on their other side, Malfoy was one bed down.

"First, tell me what happened to Malfoy," Harry said.

"Remember, he got hit by your spell, and when he was knocked down, some people hit and kicked and shoved him, then was beat up by this girl-- do I really have to say why? 50 points from Gryffindor, because of your spell."

Harry sighed. He went over to Stewart next.

"I need to know something," Harry said. "I'm just curious."

"Sure, anything," Stewart said sitting up, a little nervous.

"I need- I want- to know what happened. Why did you let out Lewd in Ireland, when he was an owl?"

Stewart's face became pale, and he avoided Harry's gaze.

"Voldemort said that you opened the cage because of your dad-" Harry paused. He knew it must've hurt Stewart to talk about this. "I'm sorry- I just want to know how you got to the owl. How you knew about the eclipse and stuff."

"It wasn't my fault.." Stewart said softly. "I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to get mad or interrupt-"

"Ok, I won't. I promise." Harry said eagerly.

Stewart nodded and cleared his throat. "Ok- this is how it went.."

I will continue this conversation to chapter 7. Sorry I keep ending it at cliffhangers like this. I also know that this isn't my best chapter but this chapter was meant to tell what happened with Lewd. In the next chapter, possibly the last chapter I will fill in most of the stuff. (Stewart, Lewd the brew)
