Worries and Discoveries
Remus' POV
Remus sighed and flopped exhaustedly onto the bed and stared at the stone ceiling of Tiernan's castle. The order had helped the werewolves move here before the meeting with the covens and packs took place. Tiernan usually only used this place in the winter, as his pack preferred to travel and live outdoors, but it would be safer for the injured here and it would become a meeting place for the other werewolf packs and vampire covens.
Remus felt sympathetic toward the injured werewolves, as they would have to wait until after the full moon for the healing potions from the order. Turning into a werewolf would heal the wounds, but it would make the transformation into a werewolf all the more painful. The order chose to do this so any injures sustained in the actual transformation would be healed and the potions would not be needed again.
Rubbing his temples, Remus tried to force his tired mind to concentrate.
'Slythiren's spirit has returned......... his only way to get his powers back it to have Harry...... Harry's safe at Hogwarts......... for now anyway........ Dumbledore thinks Harry could be having contact with the spirit........... the ritual to bring the spirit's power back would kill Harry-NO'
Remus pressed his palms against his face and gripped his graying hair with his fingers as he remembered what the ritual was; Voldemort would force Harry to take him to the shard of Heka and there he would spill Harry's blood in a dark ritual so Slythiren could regain his body and if he took the shard............Being a descendent of the first magic users, Harry wouldn't survive the shard being removed from Gryffindor's hiding place. His magic core would instantly pull back from Harry's ring (destroying it in the process) and would get as large as possible in attempt to protect itself. Harry's body would die in the shock.
Remus shook his head to clear away his dark thoughts when he realized he was shaking. 'Harry couldn't die......... he couldn't live without him........... he is only sixteen....... Concentrate............. Could the spirit lure Harry out of the school? He had warned Dumbledore....... No Harry's too clever to be drawn out by a vision again........ Then how could Voldemort get him, if he doesn't leave the school?........ Hogsmead trips, but he's surrounded by people.'
Screwing up his face in frustration, Remus thought, 'I need to talk to Harry. I'll be able to leave after the full moon, and it will be holidays at Hogwarts by the time I get there, so I'll have plenty of time to speak to Harry then...........'
'If he doesn't get kidnapped and murdered before you can even get there.' A nasty voice inside Remus' head commented.
Throwing his legs over the side of the bed, Remus forced himself up and reached for the small mirror he kept on his bedside table.
Harry's POV
Harry frowned as he sleepily pulled on his Hogwarts robes. He dimly recalled the dream with the bouncing crystal ball, but as he fought to pull back the images they only faded into his mind.
A loud snore broke Harry out of his thoughts. Leaning to one side and looking through the red curtains, he saw Ron sprawled on his bed still fast asleep. Deciding against going over there and shaking Ron awake, Harry twisted the gold ring on his finger and grinned as he heard a splash and a yelp from the next bed.
Finishing pulling on his shoe, Harry walked over to the bed and grinned at his friend. Ron glared back with his hair and pajamas soaking wet.
"Why Ron you look a tad damp." Harry commented and ducked to avoid the dripping pillow Ron chucked at him.
They were both distracted when the mirror Tonks had given Harry flashed blue and Remus' voice called out Harry's name.
Grinning, Harry flopped back onto his bed and grabbed the mirror. "Hey Moony, what's up?"
Moony smiled tiredly, "Well besides forging alliances with vampires and other werewolves, standing guard every night, and worrying over you, not much." He grinned suddenly, "Well that and wondering what'll be left of the poor DADA classes you teach."
Ron gave a snort of laughter from behind Harry as he searched his trunk for his robes and Harry pretended to be affronted.
"They happen to like me as a teacher, Mr. Lupin." Harry then shifted and looked at Remus helplessly, "But they keep calling me-"
"Professor Potter?" Remus finished grinning cheekily.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Dumbledore."
"Oh," Harry grinned, "So why are you worrying about me this time? Not being a mother-hen are we?"
"I'm NOT a mother-hen" Moony stated loudly, "And anyway, Dumbledore also told me about Slythiren's spirit. You haven't gotten any visions have you?"
Harry was just about to answer when Ron cut in, "Harry's neck got cut! And he had a vision yesterday and he-"
"Ron!" Harry interrupted, he didn't want Remus to know. He had enough things on his mind, and Harry didn't want Remus to constantly worry and mollycoddle him.
"WHAT! Harry if the spirit can physically touch you, you're in a lot more danger then we thought! Why haven't you told Dumbledore? Go and tell him right now!"
"I can't," Harry muttered giving Ron a hard look, "I have to go to McGonagall for animagi lessons first thing this morning."
"Then go afterwards. I'll talk to Dumbledore later, so don't even think of getting out of it."
As Moony's face disappeared, Harry rounded on Ron.
"Why did you have to go and say that?!"
"He cut your throat Harry! Or it did or whatever. You need help, Hermione and I have been looking for ages on how to keep spirits away and we can't find anything that would stop a spirit that can touch you! Look mate, I thought Remus could help. Dumbledore certainly can. Hermione's been telling me that you have to go and talk to Dumbledore mate."
Harry glumly leaned against the headboard of his bed, "Occlumency doesn't work, I've tried wandless magic shields but nothing works" he sighed, part of him wondering why he even bothered to learn all this new magic if he couldn't even defend himself and need constant protection.
Ron smiled sadly then in an attempt to lighten things up said, "No shame in asking for help, after last year the teachers owe you big time."
"Speaking of which," Harry said standing up, "I've got to get to McGonagall."
"See you later mate."
McGonagall's POV
Professor McGonagall watched as the nuncamy in front of her paced restlessly and shifted its muscles uncomfortably. It turned its emerald green eyes to her for a moment before its silver wings folded over its body and shifted back into Harry Potter.
He had been coming to her lessons for a while now, yet had not seemed to have made any progress. She could easily see the frustration his eyes as, once again, he could not hold his nuncamy form for more than ten minutes.
"I don't know what to tell you Harry. Muti-animagi aren't very common. Many animagi have more than one form, due to the complicated human personality, but can only take on one form. You should be proud that you can take on the forms you have, perhaps your body can only handle those forms, the panther and the nuncamy, for a short period of time." She paused and the corners of her mouth twitched, "However I must ask you not to take out any frustration with this, on Professor Snape."
Strange pranks had started to occur to the Potions Master at the most bizarre times. After he had made a Gryffindor first year, whom Harry taught, burst into tears, he had a bucket of water and bars of soap chasing after him while the school song played incessantly. That among other pranks seemed untraceable to the students.
While Harry hadn't been accused McGonagall had her suspicions.
Harry smiled sweetly at her, "What on earth do you mean Professor?"
"You know," McGonagall said peering down at him through her glasses, "Now go on, lessons are over."
Dumbledore's POV
Dumbledore stroked Fawkes' plumage gently as he looked out onto the Hogwarts' grounds. The alliances with the vampires and werewolves would greatly help the light side.
Dumbledore sighed tiredly, as he tied the letter to Arthur Weasley explaining that the alliances had been made, and that the other ministers should be informed.
Normally Dumbledore, would have himself seen to that, but he was exhausted from all the stress of war. That and worrying over Harry. His blue eyes flitted once again toward the shelf when there was a soft knock at the door.
"Come in" Dumbledore called trying to remain his usual cheery self.
Harry walked in.
"Ah Harry, can I help you with something?"
'Please be here on account of a prank. Please tell me you haven't had any contact with the spirit.'
Fawkes ,oblivious it seemed to his master's worried thoughts, chirped a greeting as he patiently waited for Dumbledore to finish tying the letter.
"Remus told me to talk to you." Harry started, "I had a vision about Slythiren's spirit."
Dumbledore's heart sank but Harry hadn't finished.
"It held a knife to my throat and cut me. Two days ago I had another vision about a bouncing crystal ball and something about the first of something."
Dumbledore sighed feeling every year of his life settle on his shoulders.
"Sit down Harry, we have much to talk about. Its time you learned a few things about your family history."
