Chapter 32
Harry walked along the hallway, mumbling to himself when he bumped into Cat.
"Err, sorry Cat."
She looked at him and smiled.
"Hey Harry, it's ok. What's wrong?"
Harry avoided her eyes, he was still trying to comprehend what Lupin and Sirius had told him and Ron.
"It's nothing Cat. Don't worry about it. Umm, have you been in to see Alex yet?"
Cat shook her head.
"No I haven't. Snape's standing in front of the doors like a watchdog. I went there looking for you and Ron. I...I had a little chat with Hermione. She told me that she told you two something very interesting."
Harry now looked Cat in the eyes and swallowed hard.
"Really? She didn't tell us anything interesting Cat. I mean I didn't find it that interesting."
Cat crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.
"You mean to tell me that you didn't find it interesting that Kagato is a full-blooded werewolf? Come on now Harry. When you and Ron left, you both looked terrified. But trust me, Kagato is harmless. Surely you don't think that he would ever..."
Harry cut her off. He looked angry.
"I don't know what to think Cat. Now, I think I'll go and find Ron. Excuse me."
Harry walked pasted her before she had time to stop him. He walked on then rounded a corner and stopped just a few feet from the hospital doors. Snape was there, looking very unhappy, but Ron was nowhere to be seen.
"Back again Potter? I assure you, Miss Reese is in no danger. I have just sent Weasley back to your common room. I suggest you get there yourself or I will take points from Gryffindor."
Harry sighed and turned around. He was almost to the corner when he heard Madam Pomfrey scream. Harry turned back around to see a blue light escaping. Cat nearly ran into him as he stared at the door.
"Harry get back to the common room. Now!"
She hurried past him as Snape struggled to get the doors open. Harry shook his head and went to help them.
"No Cat. I'm staying."
The three of them pointed their wands at the door and it finally gave way. Inside the room there were about 20 or so druids in blue and silver cloaks. Harry winced slightly. His scar had started to burn a little and he saw that a blue light surrounded Alex. Melody and Kagato were standing face to face at the foot of Alex's bed. Kagato was growling.
"You will not take her from here. She doesn't want to go. Understand? Now stop whatever it is that you're doing to her."
Melody glared at Kagato. Harry noticed that Melody's locket was glowing purple.
"She has to come with us. I have done nothing to her. She is glowing like that because there is danger here. The stone senses it. I can sense it. We have to get her to safety."
Cat's bracelet suddenly started to glow as well. She winced slightly and looked around.
"Kagato hold on. For once Melody is right. Something is not right here."
Kagato started to look around. Harry was suddenly aware of every sound in the room. The burning in his scar seemed to be getting worse.
"Yes, something is very wrong in here Cat."
Harry started towards Cat when everything went black. He felt himself falling, then he passed out.
