Chapter 22

It was a good thing that Harry didn't have classes the next day, since he didn't wake up until noon. He entered the Common Room to find Ron, Hermione and Ginny looking very mad.

"Where were you last night?" Ginny asked.

"Out." Harry answered.

"Well that explains everything then." Ron said, as Harry just shrugged.

"We thought that Voldemort had gotten you." Hermione said sounding worried.

"Yes, and we all know that I can't defend myself." Harry said glaring at his three friends as though daring them to disagree.

"Your parents and Sirius didn't die just so you could go and get yourself blown up." Ginny said.

A split second later Ginny knew she had made a mistake. Ron and Hermione noticed also. The three friends were slowly backing away from Harry. The hatred that had haunted Harrys' eyes all summer was back. Only this time it was directed at his friends. Ron, Hermione and Ginny could all feel the power radiating off Harry. They knew that whatever happened next was not going to be good.

Harry had lost control of his own mind. He couldn't even force himself to calm down. He didn't have any idea what was going on. Right as Harry was about to let off his first round of curses the portrait hole opened and Professor McGonagall walked in. She quickly took in the scene and said-

"What do you think you are doing Potter?"

Harry regained control of his mind again. He couldn't believe what he had almost done. He started to force himself to calm down. Harry saw that his friends looked terrified.

"Well Potter, I'm waiting for an answer?" Professor McGonagall said briskly.

"Nothing." Harry answered not looking at his friends.

"Good. The Headmaster would like to talk to you." McGonagall said as she led Harry out of the Common Room.

When Harry arrived in Dumbledores' office he that along with Lupin and Zombini were sitting next to the Headmaster. He quickly sat down trying not to think about what he had almost done.

"Good afternoon Professor's, Remus." Harry said still not meeting anyone's eyes.

"I trust that you are feeling better after your 'adventure' last night." Dumbledore said more as a statement then a question.

For the first time Harry met Lupins' gaze. How could Lupin tell Zombini about him being an Animagus? The look Lupin gave Harry back told him that Zombini still didn't know he was an Animagus.

"A little." Harry answered.

"Would you like to tell us what happened this morning?" Dumbledore asked.

"How can he already know about that?" Harry thought.

"I lost control. Ginny said something about my parents and Sirius and it was like I was pushed out of my mind. Had Professor McGonagall not entered the Common Room I don't know what would have happened." Harry said.

"I guess we need to work on controlling your anger a little bit more in your lessons." Zombini said. Harry nodded.

"Can I go now?" Harry asked he could feel the tears burning.

Dumbledore nodded and Harry ran out the door. He kept running until he reached the grounds. Harry looked around for somewhere where he was separated from everyone else. His eyes landed on the Whomping Willow tree.

Ten minutes later Harry was in the Shrieking Shack. He headed straight for the bedroom where he had first met Sirius. Harry flopped down on the bed trying to not think about anything, but the images of his friends cowering away from him wouldn't leave.

"I almost killed them." Harry thought to himself. "I almost killed my friends just because they said something I didn't like."

Harry spent forty minutes destroying what was left of the bedroom. He heard someone make a noise downstairs. His emotions were so out of whack that they were effecting his magic. He couldn't even tell who had just entered the Shack. Quickly he changed into a wolf. He didn't want anyone to know he was there.

The person walked up the stairs and headed for the room Harry was in. The footsteps stopped right outside the door and a familiar voice said-

"I expect you to be in your human form when I enter Harry." Harry changed back as Lupin entered the room.

"How did you know I was here?" Harry asked.

"I have my ways." Lupin said. "Now do you want to tell me why you to the liberty of destroying what was left of this room?"

"I would've killed them today." Harry said quietly. Lupins' face fell.

"I'm sure it wouldn't have gone that far." Lupin said.

"Yes it would have. You didn't see me, Remus. I had no control over myself. The last time I felt like that I killed Bellatrix. Had McGonagall not walked in when she did, they would all be dead." Harry said the self disgust evident in his voice.

Lupin shuddered. Harry would never know how much he wanted to help. Lupin knew that Voldemort effected everyone, but he also knew that that Voldemort effected Harry more. How much he wanted to take all of Harry's pain away. Then something Dumbledore said to him in his first year filled Lupins' mind.

"You must fight and overcome your own monsters." Dumbledore had told Lupin. Lupin knew that Harry would have to do the same thing.

When Harry made his way into the Common Room that night he went to apologize to his friends. After having a long discussion about what had happened, everything was back to normal. Or as normal as it gets. As Harry was getting ready to go to sleep the phrase 'life isn't fair' popped into his head.

"I know that better then anyone." Harry thought before clearing his mind.
