Bad Day at Hogwarts and Beyond
McGonagall's POV for scarysecrets
Minerva spent a good quarter of an hour varying from pacing nervously around Dumbledore's office to tapping her foot impatiently, as she waited for the Gryffindor Trio to arrive.
She couldn't help but worry that something had gone wrong. A lot had gone wrong today; she had found out that Percy, an old student and member of her house, was a deatheater, Severus was to teach Percy how not to get killed by He-Who- oh forget it-Voldemort, all the while keeping Dumbledore informed of his loyalty, Peeves had tormented the house-elves again, the werewolves were furious after being attacked by deatheaters and Remus was sent to try and calm them, while the Trio, who had been with him, were being sent to Hogwarts a day early AND she had to prepare for classes and work in some time to spend with Harry for his animagi transformations.
She looked up and breathed a sigh of relief as Harry, Ron, and Hermione appered clutching a phoenix feather. "Finally! You three alright?"
They all nodded, still in a surprised stupor from the sudden change. "Don't worry, Remus will handle it. Now you three better to get to your dormitories, the password is 'phoenix rebirth'."
Ron and Hermione headed toward the door, but Harry stayed, "Could I talk to you Professor?"
She nodded curtly, after the fiasco last year she was definitely going to listen to him, she turned to the other two and said, "You two go on. I think Potter can handle going to the tower alone after I speak with him. Though knowing him, he could get into a whole mess of trouble in under an hour..."
The three of them grinned and Ron and Hermione left. McGonagall turned to Harry, "Well Potter?"
"It's a couple things Professor."
McGonagall nodded, her eyes on Harry saying nothing.
"Did Remus ask you, if you could help-"
"Yes, Potter. Remus asked me to help you control your animagi powers. You already have a form do you not?"
Harry nodded, "More than one...."
"And you have trouble holding certain forms for an extended time?"
Harry nodded again.
"I should be able to help, but mind you it will take work."
Harry smiled, "I know.... Professor, could you tell me more about what Remus' is doing?" He finished hesitantly and McGonagall could see a shadow of worry in his eyes.
McGonagall smiled at him, and as she had a few times that summer dropped her 'professional air', and laid a hand on his shoulder, "He'll be fine Harry. He's not on his own this time, and Albus is there."
"Thanks Professor," Harry said quietly.
She smiled and spoke in her usual manner, "Right, now come along Potter. I'll drop you off at your dormitories, and then getting some sleep. I suggest you do the same."
They had started down the moving staircase when Harry said, "I thought I was going alone."
McGonagall laughed, "Harry Potter at night, with no supervision and with free rein in Hogwarts! I'd be surprised if the castle survived one night like that!"
They had made it to the portrait of the fat lady when Harry turned to her, "Hogwarts already has."
It was one of the first times any student had left McGonagall with speechless.
Harry's POV
Harry had never really thought about what must happen at Hogwarts during the summer. The day before classes must be the most active though.
He, Ron, and Hermione could barely go three feet without bumping into a teacher with a stack of books, new cauldrons, or (in Ron's case) bumping into Professor Sprout and sending a crate full of some strange bouncing plants crashing to the floor.
One of the advantages however was that they could use wand magic now. And, as Ron pointed out, they couldn't lose any house points no matter how many times they annoyed the teachers.
They were just deciding to go outside and stop being underfoot; when they heard a loud bark...
Fluffy.
They later discovered that Peeves had just found out that Fluffy was in the castle and let him out to 'stretch his paws', but at the moment they could really care less who let Fluffy out, as they ran around trying to find something musical.
Of course with Harry's luck, he found himself against a wall in the Entrance Hall cornered by Fluffy.
A part in Harry's brain sardonically thought about what the newspapers would say when they found out, 'Boy who lived killed by three-headed dog named Fluffy'
Blindly he reached behind him and found a doorknob, he wrenched it open and slammed it shut behind him.
"Harry Potter?"
Harry jumped and looked toward the speaker, Firenze.
"I'm sorry Firenze! I didn't mean to barge in like this but Hagrid's errrrr pet is loose."
Firenze looked at the door, a loud growl echoed in the Entrance Hall. "Its alright. Let me show you something."
Harry followed Firenze into the forest classroom, to where a blue fire was burning. Firenze sat beside it and Harry followed suit.
Firenze gestured to the fire, "Look into it and tell me what you see."
Harry did as he was told and for a while could see nothing but the blue flames.
"Concentrate," Firenze's calm voice said, "Let your magic flow into the fire and show you."
Harry smiled slightly, now that he could do. Focusing on his ball of pure magic he channeled it though his ring into the fire.
Harry blinked, he could have sworn he saw.....
Remus?
Remus' POV
Remus Lupin was a very mild person. Very calm, rarely showed a bad temper.
But he had one.
It was cold, it was wet, and he was being screamed at for something he had nothing to do with.
Remus was not happy.
Once again he tried to reason with Tiernan, the leader of the werewolf pack, "Tiernan, I know you upset-"
"UPSET!" Tiernan roared, "HALF my pack is injured and the other restless!"
"But you can't-"
"DON'T tell me what I can and can not do! Had you not hidden away you would have know what being in a pack means!"
'He just loves to bring that up' Remus thought annoyed.
"Maybe not a pack to your standards, but a pack nonetheless. I know that I would do anything and everything I could to protect them, but-"
"But what?! Did you have limits to your loyalty? I must bring vengeance to them! For years most of them have been treated like scum and called cursed! Now that they have a family I must protect them!"
"I understand that! But being the leader of the pack Tiernan, you must think of them first! If you attack the deatheaters with the uninjured half of your pack, what will become of the injured? Would you leave them here to die to seek revenge for them? Wait till they heal. Let us come up with a plan. For all we know Voldemort could have done this to draw you out! Please, wait."
Tiernan said nothing for a moment, calming down, "Very well, Lupin. We will wait, but only for a time."
Remus nodded relieved, then Tiernan asked a question he had not expected, "The way you speak of your old pack..... are they all gone?"
"One betrayed us to Voldemort, killing two and imprisoning another. Now the imprisoned was innocent but killed while fighting to save a cub from the two betrayed."
Tiernan looked at him for a long moment, before saying, "Harry Potter?"
Remus nodded, "The last of the pack."
"Then he shall have our protection, if ever he needs it."
Remus looked up at Tiernan's grim face in surprise.
"All cubs must be protected, wolf or human."
Remus nodded slowly, "Thank you."
Back to Harry's POV
Remus?
He could have sworn he saw his face. Harry continued to stare into the fire, unconsciously running his fingers over his ring.
A large THUD from the Entrance Hall woke Harry from his trance.
"Harry?!"
Harry could hear Ron's voice calling him.
He and Firenze left the classroom and went into the Entrance Hall, where Fluffy lay fast asleep next to a softly playing flute (playing of course the hp theme song).
