A Turn For The Worst

Remus' POV

Remus clutched his bleeding arm and looked around in the pitch black sky. He should have started for Hogwarts by now, but Voldemort had other plans.

~A few hours earlier~

It was getting late, and the sun had started to sink. Remus was getting ready to leave for the long journey to Hogwarts, "The order will contact you, Tiernan, if and when we get any news on deatheater attacks. We'll-"

Someone screamed.

~Present~

Remus shook his head as a similar scream tore though the night. Voldemort's nuncamys had attacked.

A guard on watch duty had seen the black shapes with silver wings, the scream was the only thing heard before the nuncamy had sliced his throat. The nuncamys had taken them all by surprise; Remus was protecting the wounded while they were brought to a cave when a nuncamy had found them. With a mixture of spells he brought it down but not before silver claws slashed and his arm was filled with pain.

He could still feel the claws hours later, which made him think they either were or covered with silver. Again shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he hurried toward a group of werewolves surrounded by nuncamys.

He cried out as a nuncamy slashed his back from behind him and fell onto the ground. Groping around blindly he grabbed his wand, turned and hit the nuncamy full in the face with a hex.

Suddenly a loud hissing/screeching sound came from the largest nuncamy. As one the nuncamys rose and left, leaving behind the injured werewolves.

Remus laid his head back down as the darkness of night grew steadily darker, as he passed out only one thing was on his mind, 'Harry'

Harry's POV

Harry jerked and looked around wildly. He sighed and laid his head back against the chair. He must have fallen asleep, while waiting for the headmaster.

Dumbledore had gotten the same result as Hermione did when she first proposed his idea fir Harry to teach DADA. However Harry couldn't really argue with Dumbledore's points and the OWLS grades Harry's DA members had gotten. He smiled slightly wondering what in the world he would do in 'his' defense class.

Harry glanced at the portraits and saw he was not the only one getting slightly impatient judging by the sighs and tapping of the feet around him. 'Where was Dumbledore?'

~Flashback~ (A/n I'm starting to like these)

He had just started to say something when Snape burst in.

"Headmaster! There had been another attack!"

"Stay here Harry" Dumbledore had said, and then with out further ado followed Snape out of his office.

~End of Flashback~

"Dumbledore's certainly taking his time isn't he?"

Harry (and most of the portraits) turned to the sorting hat, which was enjoying the use of its voice again after Dumbledore's spell.

"I wonder who was attacked." Harry said.

"Again" the hat finished for him, "The werewolves were the last attacked I think...."

Harry frowned, "Remus was there."

"Remus can take care of himself and unlike 'some people' he doesn't look for trouble." Phineus sated in his usual voice.

"I don't 'look' for trouble, trouble finds me" Harry answered dryly.

Any further remarks were cut off by the headmaster's return.

"Harry, the werewolves have been attacked once again, but this time by nuncamys. Remus was involved in the battle and is injured. But-"

Harry was on his feet in an instant, "I have to help."

"No Harry."

"But-"

"Harry you're not ready to fight," Dumbledore said as the twinkle left his eyes, "I know you're part of the order now and have new powers, but you are still not ready."

By the tone of voice Dumbledore used Harry knew it was useless to argue with him, not that he didn't try, but after a good quarter of an hour Dumbledore said the subject was closed.

"Harry," Dumbledore said laying a hand on Harry's shoulder, "I know that you would go and help Remus in a heartbeat if he needed you. But the truth is you're just not ready to be fighting. Keep training and when you're ready you will fight. Voldemort lured you out of Hogwarts once before, don't let him do it again."

"Yes sir." Harry sighed.

Dumbledore squeezed his shoulder, "Remus will be alright. His injures are not terrible. But, I have to ask you to take over his position as a teacher until he returns."

Harry nodded.

As he started to leave Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore said, "I'll arrange a way for you two to communicate once Remus is well."

Harry brightened and said, "Thank you sir," and hurried to Gyffindor tower to speak to Ron and Hermione.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile

Red eyes flamed in the darkness of the cave. The air grew hot and crackled with magic. Voldemort's smiled his lipless smile as a new being came to life, or perhaps an old one being reborn.

The being started to form; head, arms, hands, legs, and feet all appeared. The sprit form of Salazar Slytherin had arisen.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry's Dream

There was the veil again. And Sirius.

"Sirius!" Harry beamed and ran over to him.

"Hey kid. Some day huh?"

"You know-?"

Sirius sighed and ran a hand through his long hair, "How to put this.... I know what.... You know, wither subconsciously or consciously. I can explain your dreams and visions because you, even though you might not understand it, get information from them. I can also tell you what's going on with other people I was close to like Remus. But I can't tell you everything." Sirius ended regretfully.

"Why not? What is this place? What-"

"Whoa! Slow down! I already told you I don't know what this place is, but there is a.... voice I guess, inside my head that tells me what I can't tell you."

"A voice inside your head?" Harry asked doubtfully.

Sirius shrugged, "Work with me here, I'm not sure how to explain it. Anyway that's not important. Voldemort managed to bring back Slytherin's sprit. And it can-"

Sirius broke off and looked around wildly, the room was getting darker and fading.

"SIRIUS!"

"Not any more Potter."

Harry clamped his hand around his mouth to stop himself from screaming. There in front of him was the sprit of Salazar Slytherin. It floated and was transparent like a ghost, but it had a green tinge to it and a horrible expression on its face.

"What do you want?" Harry asked.

The sprit smiled evilly, "Revenge."

Stone walls appeared around them, and in a sudden whirl of color, they were in the entrance hall at Hogwarts.

Two male voices raged at each other, their words lost. The forms of Slytherin and Gryffindor appered in front of them. They were arguing about something, then suddenly wands were out. They dueled. Harry watched with fascination as Gryffindor threw Slytherin against the stone wall. Blood trickled down Slytherin's chin.

More words were spoken but they were lost as the room faded from sight.

There was silence save for the words the sprit of Slytherin said, "I want revenge for the blood the Gryffindor line spilt."

Harry felt a blade pressed against his throat.

A/n haha! Cliffy! Yeah! Faster reviews faster update. For those of you who wanted to see Remus teach, he will but in a little bit.

Thanks to~

DRAGONGT18@aol.com- thanks! I don't mind if you email me or use the review button. Yeah you're not the only one who has trouble reviewing. Ff.net did that to me a few times. Try either reviewing without signing in or if you hit the review button and it shows something other than what its supposed to close it and try clicking again. Anyway I know my chappies are on the short side and this one isn't any better due to the cliffy, but I'll try to make it longer. Thanks and please keep reviewing.

TuxedoMac- thanks, I'll try to make them longer from now on.

Kimmylookatmoi!- thanks! I wasn't planning to have them attacked again, but it just popped up. I think this will give better backround for a later scene. Anyway alright alright I'm working on making him older. Yes Remus WILL be teaching but in a little while, like you said I want Harry to start to deal with working with the other houses. Lol I have no idea where Fluffy came from. I was stuck at that part and whoop! There he was. Ummm he's still on the third floor 'cause the mirror of erised(sp) is still down there and because Hagrid's got no where to put him. Oh I only mentioned Mark Evans because of that. He's just there, Harry might teach him but that's about it. Thanks I'm glad people didn't mind the song. If you want to read a fic with Harry as a werewolf look on my favorite fics on my profile for 'The Portrait Of The Man On The Moon' by ckat44. Yeah I can't see Hermione as a werewolf.... You should make that a challenge... Thanks I really like the pack stuff I wrote and Harry will get involved with that later...
