Harry raced to the camp Quiditch pitch which was in an indoor arena. He learned some new tricks to catch the Snitch. Harry found out that he was pretty good at painting. He went to his cabin for a nap until lunch.

Robert yelled, "Wake up, Harry!"

Harry said, "I'm up. Let's go to lunch!"

Harry and Robert walked to the mess hall for lunch. They ate hot dogs and an apple with a glass of milk. Everyone went down the Quiditch pitch. It was Wolves vs. Phoenixes. Harry faked out Tina by diving for the Snitch when it was really up high in the air. He grabbed the Snitch and won the game. He had a cold ice cream bar for snack. Harry changed into his swim trunks and went to the pool. He climbed up to the high dive board and jumped into the water. After swimming, he showered and put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

Ryan asked, "Harry, where are you going?"

Harry said, "Just for a short walk before dinner."

Ryan said, "See you."

Harry walked up a hill and heard a growling sound coming from a nearby tree; he looked up at the full moon in the sky. He saw a white werewolf coming after to him. Harry tried to run, but the wolf pounced on him. He felt a tremendous pain of the werewolf's teeth ripping into his left shoulder. Harry blacked out when a person shouted a stunning spell at the werewolf knocking him unconscious.

The next morning, Harry woke up in a strange place and was feeling awful with blurry figures. He put on his glasses and saw that he was in a hospital room with Dave, a tired looking Kevin, Remus who was looking as bad as Kevin, and Prof. Dumbledore.

Harry asked hoarsely, "Where am I at?"

Prof. Dumbledore said, "You're at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries in "Dangerous" Dai Lleywellyn Ward. How do you feel, Harry?"

Harry replied hoarsely, "I feel awful; my shoulder and throat is killing me."

Remus asked softly, "Do you remember what happen last night?"

Harry answered hoarsely, "Yes, I was taking a walk on the full moon at camp and a wolf attacked me."

Remus said, "Harry, as much as I hate to tell you this, you were bitten by a werewolf like me and another werewolf in this room."

Kev said sadly, "I'm the werewolf that bit you, Harry. I'm sorry for making you a monster like me. I was so stupid to go to camp when it was the week of the full moon. I'm sorry."

Harry said hoarsely, "It's okay after all it was kind of my fault if I hadn't been stupid going on walk on a full then I wouldn't be here. I will just turn into a wolf on the full moon; I don't mind it."

Kev said sadly, "I'm a monster."

Remus said as comforting the younger werewolf, "Kev, please calm down. You're not a monster either is Harry or me. You just made a careless mistake; it happens sometimes. The only real monsters are Voldemort and his Death Eaters."

Kev smiled and said to Remus, "I guess you're right. Have you ever bitten anyone?"

Remus said, "No, I think it is rude to bite people. I take the Wolfsbane potion every month when it is the full moon."

Kev said, "I agree with you. I usually do too when at home; my dad makes it for me."

Dave said, "The whole camp was given a memory charm about your werewolf encounter now they just think you were attacked by dog and had to leave early. Kev, we have to leave. Bye!"

Kev said, "Goodbye, owl me, Harry!" Dave and Kev both left the hospital.

Harry asked, "Prof. Dumbledore, will I be expelled?"

Prof. Dumbledore said, "No of course not after all there was a werewolf at Hogwarts before. We'll just have to keep it a secret from Voldemort and the students only the staff will know about your lycanthropy. Now for the good news, Sirius is alive; he is going to be helping Prof. Lupin with DADA under a disguise as Prof. Orion Lucas until Peter is caught. Fudge resigned from being the Ministry; the new Minister of Magic is Arthur Weaseley. I have to go now. Bye." He apparated out of the hospital back to Hogsmeade.

Healer Pye and Nurse Becky came into the room to give Harry a potion and some lunch. After lunch, he took a little nap.

Remus said, "Harry, Happy Birthday! I have brought you something."

Harry yawned and said sounding a little better then before, "Thanks! I guess I forgot about my own birthday."

Remus said, "I got your new school books for you, and I brought your presents and some of Mrs. Weaseley's cooking."

Harry said, "Thank you! I don't know how long I can stand hospital food."

Remus said, "You're welcome! When do you get out?"

Harry replied, "On August 30th! I can't wait! I'm going to spend the last two days summer in the Leaky Cauldron. Well, I'm a little nervous what is going to happen on the full moon."

Remus said, "Don't worry, without the Wolfsbane potion, you'll want to bite people, but you will be locked up in a room so no one will get hurt. Are you going to tell your friends what happened at camp?"

Harry said, "No, I'm going to keep it a secret. I really want to go to sleep for the night. See you on September 1st if not sooner."

Remus said, "I have to go now too. Bye! See you!" He disapparated back to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.

Harry fell asleep for the night.
