Chapter Twenty-Eight
On Wings
"Fawks!" Harry breathed desperately.
The song bird swooped around the room, singing a soothing, restful melody. It was so calming and graceful.
Remus stopped and his yellow eyes followed the bird.
Fawks rested on Harry's shoulder, its song ceasing.
Harry, over taken by Fawks's arrival forgot about Adam and Mark. that was till Remus gave a nasty snarl.
Harry, shaken awake like. shuttered and concentrated; only till Seri can help. only till Seri can help.
He changed into a stag.
He felt his four long legs under him. it felt. somehow complete.
Harry grinned to himself. He reared up at Remus and landed his strong hooves on Remus's chest, making him fall on his back.
Adam gave an awe stuck sigh.
"Adam. knock it off and get me out of here!" Mark screamed, seeing Remus regain his footing.
"Right. sorry mate!" Adam said, untying the last knot the restrained Mark.
Harry reared up once again and Remus backed away into a corner.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw and big black dog push Mark and Adam into the tunnel and Snape standing behind him with Umbridge and Trawnley.
"Get me out of here!" Umbridge cried.
"Shut up you old witch!" Snape hissed, his wand pointed at Lupin.
"Severus, don't. that's Remus." Seri said softly, bringing his wand down to his side.
"But what if he tries to kill some." but before Snape could finish his sentence, Seri was a black dog again.
Harry charged toward Remus and body checked him into the wall.
He gave a loud, painful yelp followed by a growl.
Seri took hold off his face with her paws, keeping his nose turned to the wall.
They were actually doing very well. Remus was calming down, almost to the point where he didn't fight so much, and Snape and Trawnley were busy locking the Death Eaters into the cage.
Then it happened.
Harry felt his body jerk.
He stumbled back, falling to the floor. But by the time he hit it, he was a sixteen year old boy again.
Remus, noticing his freedom, whipped his head away from Seri's paws and his yellow eyes fell on Harry.
His blood ran short and cold.
Without thinking, Seri swept by and drug Harry out of the way into a corner right before Remus had a chance to bite or attack.
But Harry wasn't the only one Remus could attack. Right behind him was Snape, Trawnley and Umbridge.
Seri had pushed him the corner, standing in front of him protectively.
Trawnley jumped aside Snape following hers, but Umbridge was frozen to the stop.
"Help." She whimpered.
Remus growled.
Harry struggled. he had to help Remus.
Seri held him in the corner tightly.
Remus had Umbridge pressed against the wall.
"No. please. get away. no. please." Umbridge said.
Remus stepped closer.
Umbridge sank to the floor.
"Noo.. Nooo nooo nooo nooo..." She whispered, her eyes filling with water.
Remus was bearing over her.
His teeth showing.
"AHHHHH!" Trawnley had buried her face in Snape shoulder, shaking her head.
Seri turned her dog face away, her eyes shut tight.
Remus gave one more bark and his long sharp teeth broke into Umbridge's flesh.
"Help Me!" she shrieked! "Please, someone help me. O God Help!" Umbridge cried out in pure horror. "Please!"
Remus was on top of her, her arm in his mouth.
It was the most vicious thing Harry had ever seen. Remus was snapping and biting. tearing and ripping. It was ungodly.
"Stupify!" Someone yelled. Harry jerked around.
Peter was standing there, his wand outstretched pointed at Remus.
He had stopped dead and werewolf Remus was fallen off of Umbridge.
Seri, jumped at Peter and her teeth sunk into his arm.
"AHHH!" He screamed. "Get off me you flee bitten stay!" He waved he hand, but Seri didn't let go. His wand slipped from grasped.
"Let her go!" Harry said, standing and his wand in Peter's face.
"Stupify!" Yon said and Harry went flying backwards, hitting the wall.
Snape and Trawnley had there wands pointing at Gaylord and Haden.
"All right Potter?" Trawnley said firmly.
"All right." Harry said, standing up slowly.
"You were a waste of out time!" Yon screamed.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Green light filled the room and Harry stumbled back, finding the wall for support. Images flashed before his eyes. and they were images of Seri. Her standing in the front door on Privet Drive. her knelling in front of a torn canvas crying.Seri sitting in the rocking chair, playing with the tiny ring on her finger.. Seri standing up in the Minister of Magic. little Seri sitting on Sirius's lap giggling. and then there was an image Harry couldn't remember. but he expected it was something from the future. Seri was a heap on the floor, her now shorter hair had fallen in her face and blood was swarming around her motionless body..
"NOOOO!" Harry cried, pushing away from the wall. He couldn't lose Seri. she was the only family he had ever had.
The green light vanished and Professor Trawnley laid a mound on the floor. dead.
"Avada Kedavra!" Snape hissed and Yon was on the floor next.
"Who would like to be next?" He asked, smirking slightly.
"We don't have time for this!" Haden screamed. He hissed a spell and Snape was on the floor, eyes wide open and stiff.
"Get the Minster women and let's go!" Haden ordered.
"What about the Potter?" Gaylord asked, his wand pointing at Harry.
"We have the Dark Order now. he's time will be soon." Haden said.
Peter grinned and flung Seri off of him and at Remus.
The three men drug the bleeding and crying Umbridge out of the house shutting the door with a snap.
As though it was a wake up call. Remus stirred. snarling and shaking his head.
Then his senses kicked in and his eyes froze on Seri.
Harry was horror stuck.
Remus was on top of her in seconds, his paws holding her down and his mouth so close to her neck. (She was still a dog.)
But Werewolves wanted human flesh. but Harry suspected Remus had never bitten anyone but himself before. and his wolf instincts wanted more.
He did what he had to do.. Before he even thought about it logically.
Harry leapt from his spot and wrapped his arms around Remus's neck.
Remus reared up, Harry "riding" his back.
Remus was bucking and biting at Harry.
But Harry hung on and somehow Remus didn't get him.
It was a fight. Remus was jumping and trotting all over the room with no luck of getting Harry off of him.
Remus bit at Harry again and this time caught his robes pulling him to the floor.
His yellow eyes bore into Harry's.
His teeth showing.
His paws were holding Harry's robes down.
Remus's wolf like face got closer and closer to Harry.
He kept thinking. 'I'll see you soon dad.'
Remus's breath was on his face.
'This is the last time I'm going to be Famous Harry Potter. now I'll be Famous Werewolf Harry Potter.'
Remus's gave a low growl.
'This is it.' Harry thought. 'oh god this is going to hurt.'
And Harry closed his eyes.
He could already feel long fangs sinking into his skin.
But that pain never came.
Remus was pulled his head out of Harry face.
Harry opened his eyes.
There was music.
A soft, hopeful song was being played.
It was Fawks.
Harry grinned softly.
'Oh to be able to fly away.'
The music stopped.
'To come and go as you please.'
Remus was in his face
'Fawks and her scarlet wings.'
The werewolf howled.
'Her golden beak.'
Remus jumped back.
Harry snapped out of his thought.
He felt weird.
His body felt like his, but different.
He looked up.
Werewolf Remus was staring at him, horror struck.
Harry looked at his hands, but they weren't hands anymore. they were deep green wings.
He flapped them and with ease Harry elevated into the air. He felt remarkable. He did a flip or two till he saw something standing in the door way.
Albus Dumbledore with two short figures behind him and a scarlet bird on his shoulder stood.
"Fawks!" Harry breathed desperately.
The song bird swooped around the room, singing a soothing, restful melody. It was so calming and graceful.
Remus stopped and his yellow eyes followed the bird.
Fawks rested on Harry's shoulder, its song ceasing.
