Chapter 10 The New Marauders
It was the day of the full moon; Harry slept until noon. He got dressed and went down for lunch.
Ron said, "Harry, you're finally awake!"
Hermione said, "Ron, don't be so rude. You know werewolves like to sleep the day of the full moon."
Ron said, "Sorry, Harry. I guess I forgot about the full moon, today."
Harry said, "Let's restart the Marauders."
Neville, Ron, Aquarii, Ginny, and Hermione said, "Yes."
Harry said as handing each of them a skiving snack-box, "I want to take it right when you get to Hagrid's class then we'll have the common room to ourselves to talk about you-know-what. Dumbledore wants to see me now."
Harry went into Dumbledore's office; Harry sat down on the chair.
Dumbledore said, "Three people were killed by Death Eaters last night. They were Dudley Dursley, Hannah Abbot, and Tim Zander."
Harry said fighting the urge to yell at his headmaster, "Voldemort is always ruining my life."
Dumbledore said, "The Death Eater was caught in the Forbidden Forest; it was Bellatrix Lestrange. You may go, Harry."
Harry walked back to his common room and sat down on the couch. He said, "Hi Ron, Hermione, Neville, Aquarii, and Ginny."
Hermione said, "Let's come up with nicknames. I'll be Wiseeyes because I'm an owl."
Ron said, "I'll be Prowler because I'm a tiger."
Aquarii said, "I'll be Blackpaw since I'm a dog."
Neville said, "I'll be Thumper because I'm a hare."
Harry said, "I'll be Lunar because I'm a werewolf."
Ginny said, "I'll be Foxtail."
Hermione said, "Harry, you need to go to Prof. Lupin's office, now."
Harry said, "Okay, Wiseeyes."
Harry went to Remus's office for the Wolfsbane Potion.
Remus said, "Hello Harry."
Harry said after drinking the potion, "I hate this stuff."
Remus and Harry both went into the Shrieking Shack followed by six animagi, two dogs, an owl, a hare, a fox, and a tiger. Harry knew who they were, and so did Remus. Harry's and Remus's begin screaming in pain as they became werewolves. The five canines play chased and wrestled with each other while the tiger tried catching the hare and the owl. They finally fell asleep.
The next morning at 5 o'clock, Harry woke up in his human form with his robes torn, and he was extremely sore and tired from his transformation. He saw Ron, Neville, Aquarii, Sirius, Hermione, and Ginny in their animal forms and Remus in his human form sleeping. The animagi became humans, and Remus woke up.
Remus said groggily, "Good Morning, Harry!"
Sirius asked now in his disguise, "Harry, how are you?"
Harry said tiredly, "I'm just glad the full moon is over with for this month. It was nice to have my friends with me."
Ginny said shivering, "It's freezing. I'm sore all over."
Sirius said, "You five go back to your dorms and get some sleep before classes."
Ron, Hermione, Nevile, Aquarii, and Ginny went back to the castle and to their dorms.
Sirius said, "I'll walk with you, Moony and Harry."
They ran into Draco wearing a Death Eater uniform. Draco said, "Potter, you're a werewolf. I'm telling everyone! Werewolves shouldn't be at school, and the muggle-loving fool shouldn't be the Minister of Magic!"
Harry said as rubbing his scar, "Malfoy, you're a Death Eater! Death Eaters are more dangerous than werewolves."
Sirius said sternly, "Malfoy, come with me to Prof. Dumbledore's office now. Prof. Lupin and Harry go to the Hospital Wing now." Sirius and Malfoy left.
Remus and Harry walked into the Hospital Wing and slept until 6 o'clock. Remus walked over to Harry and said, "Wake up, Harry. It's dinner time."
Harry said, "Okay. I think it was a lot easier for Padfoot last night because he had other animals with him."
Remus said as they walked to the Great Hall, "Padfoot can't control two werewolves. It was nice having a bunch of animagi with us."
Harry sat down with his friends and Remus sat at the staff tabble.
Dumbledore stood up and said, "Today, three of our students were found to be Death Eaters. They are Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle. All of them were sentenced to a life time in Akazaban and were expelled from Hogwarts. Now tuck in!"
Ron said using Harry's nickname, "Lunar, we don't have to deal with Malfoy and his cronies anymore."
Harry said using Ron's nickname, "Prowler, yea great!"
Ginny asked, "Lunar, are you okay?"
Harry said yawning, "I am just really tired. I think I'll go to bed now. Good Night, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Neville, and Aquarii!"
Harry went to his dorm for the night and fell instantly into a dreamless sleep for the night.
