Unfortunately Cub, Wolf, and Dog will be on hold for awhile since I have a case of writers block for it.

Reviewers: -

PotionsPet: Did I miss it oops sorry, I don't have a copy of the OoTP on hand at the moment so I could not check which test they took.

Lunawolf: Here is your update, I know that A is acceptable which if you think about it doesn't always mean you have got that class does it? Yeah Death Eaters nicely toasted on one side and crispy on the other exactly how I like them. The actual H/G wont show its self until the second fic, because next chapter is the last one I'm afraid. Powefulist isn't actually a word as I am typing this up it has a red line underneath it, ah well I like making words up to fit. When you going to update your fic?

Oracale: Thank you for the review.

Well after this chapter it is the last chapter for this fic but I assure all of you that there will be a sequel I wont tell you exactly how it ends but it will be a good ending, so keep looking out for updates.

Chapter 5- Lectures, Revelations, and Attacks!

Ginny was worried, it wasn't the fact that it was the full moon in a day's time and Remus would become a werewolf, no. It was the fact that Harry was going to be spending the full moon with Remus but he claimed he wasn't an animagus.

Harry knew he shouldn't have been lying to his friends about his powers, but he wasn't ready to tell them besides after tomorrow night they would know one of his secret.

The foursome was currently sat in Harry's bedroom quietly working on assignments or rather three of them were whilst Harry helped or just sat and watched.

"So when do you think we'll be able to go into Diagon Alley that's if were allowed at all?" asked Ron, stretching his back from leaning over his work for an hour.

"Ron you know we can't go till Remus is feeling well again," replied Hermione rolling her eyes.

"Well excuse me Hermione how am I supposed to remember what the man turns into?" asked Ron.

The quarrels began arguing again. Shaking his head Harry caught Ginny's eye and nodded towards the door as to say 'lets leave them alone' a few minutes later the two teens were sat outside under a tree enjoying the warm sunshine.

"I don't think Ron meant what he said," commented Ginny.

"As long as Remus don't hear him he'll be fine," replied Harry.

"You've changed Harry," Ginny said suddenly.

"How have I changed?" asked Harry curious to see what she would come up with.

"I don't know it's kind of like you're at peace with the world," answered Ginny thoughtfully.

"Believe me I am anything but at peace," began Harry, "I have Tom breathing down my neck, a Ministry that will turn on you at any second and my godfather died two-three months ago,"

"So you don't want to work in the Ministry then?" questioned Ginny curiously.

"No way," answered Harry.

"So where does Remus fit into all of this?" queried Ginny.

Sighing Harry replied, "After Sirius died I was angry at the wizarding world for the unfairness of it all. I came here after writing a pretty nasty letter and I just had an outlet for all my grief; Remus. I was constantly shouting and back-chatting him and he never once raised his voice to me. I was taken away-no I can't say where yet- and I was told that soon everyone would give up if I didn't stop acting like a spoilt brat," explained Harry.

"Spoilt Brat? Harry you were grieving!" defended Ginny.

"Yes I was grieving but I was pushing everyone away and acting as though I was the only one hurting," replied Harry, "I do still miss him,"

"I know," responded Ginny.

The two sat in silence for a bit just enjoying each others company, when the back door opened and Ron came out without Hermione.

"Hey where Hermione?" asked Harry, as Ron sat down.

"Gone in search of Lupin for some help on homework," grumbled Ron.

Groaning Harry replied, "Great,"

"What wrong Harry?" questioned Ginny.

"If Hermione keeps annoying Remus I'm pretty sure he will end up shouting at her," explained Harry getting up, "I'll be back in a bit,"

Harry ran back to the house opening the door he entered the kitchen to find Hermione looking quiet put out sitting at the table with a glass of water in front of her.

"Hermione?" asked Harry, closing the door.

"I didn't know, I'm sorry," apologized Hermione.

Sitting down Harry asked, "You annoyed Remus didn't you?"

"Slightly I really didn't mean to besides he could have just sent me away, why didn't he?" asked Hermione confused.

"Because Remus loves to teach," answered Harry standing back up, "I'll go talk to him.

"Tell him I'm sorry," called Hermione.

Leaving the kitchen he headed up the stairs, coming to a stop outside Remus' room Harry knocked once and entered he knew this was not going to be easy to convince Remus he did nothing wrong.

"Hermione- oh hi Harry," greeted Remus.

"Hermione says sorry for bugging you," replied Harry sitting on the bed.

"Hermione didn't do anything I did," sighed Remus, "I shouldn't have shouted at her,"

"Don't worry," responded Harry.

"Don't worry! It's a good job I'm not teaching I'd be sacked," grumbled Remus.

"Now that's just being dramatic," answered Harry, "Besides Hermione don't care, she's got to learn that learning isn't everything,"

"I still shouldn't have shouted at her though," repeated Remus.

Sighing Harry replied, "I can see I'm not going to convince you of anything so I shall see you tomorrow morning."

When he didn't get a response Harry just left the bedroom and went back downstairs to start dinner for that evening.


Harry was sitting in the living room trying to think up a ward that could be strong enough to hold a werewolf and a snow leopard when he felt Snape come through his wards that were around the house.

Five minutes later there was a knock on the door, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione shared startled looks as Harry casually got up and opened the door. The three of them relaxed at the sight of their professor.

"Well it seems Potter has friends," taunted Snape holding a goblet.

"Yes. Now is that Remus' potion?" asked Harry.

"Yes here," answered Snape, "Tell me have you been doing any Death Eater hunting recently,"

Laughing Harry replied, "So Malfoy does know how to do as he was told, yes I did, tell me Snape did the bodies actually end up in Tom's lap?"

"Harry!" exclaimed Remus.

Wincing Harry turned around to see the disappointed look on Remus face turning back to face Snape he said,

"I only owed you once and I will not owe you again,"

"Good because the Dark Lord has a message for you," replied Snape.

"Well?" asked Harry

"He said, he will come for you Potter he prepared," recited Snape.

Laughing again Harry responded, "You are pretty good as a messenger boy, now get lost. If you tell Tom where my friends are I'll kill you my self."

Glaring Snape turned around and left the house, closing the door Harry turned back to face the music.

"That's where you went isn't it? You didn't go for a run?" asked Remus.

"Here you go here's your wolfsbane," answered Harry handing over the potion.

Downing the potion Remus retorted, "Don't walk away from me,"

"I don't want to talk about it," replied Harry sitting next to Hermione.

"You aren't getting out of it just tell me what you did?" questioned Remus.

"What do you want me to say?" asked Harry before continuing, "Yes I killed two new recruited Death Eaters. Yes I used my elemental air magic to do it, this is a war and if we are going to win it then it is about time that we played just as dirty as Tom does."

There was silence in the room, Remus just shook his head and sat down whilst Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were still mulling over the fact that Harry had air elemental magic.

"Sorry," apologized Harry to his friends, "But I haven't explained everything to you three,"

"Harry what is going on with you?" asked Hermione.

So that afternoon Harry explained everything from the prophecy to his training with Sykes and he even had to explain why he called Voldemort Tom. After explaining everything Harry showed them his animagus forms of a snow Leopard-silver and his Phoenix- Embers.

"Wow Harry that's amazing," praised Hermione.

"Thank you," thanked Harry.

"But why you?" asked Ginny.

"I don't know Gin," answered Harry honestly, "but I do know that I will fulfil the prophecy to the best of my abilities and I don't think anyone can ask anything else from me,"

"Why don't you three go get settled now, upstairs?" suggested Remus.

The three friends moved upstairs and they never saw Harry casting his strong ward on the stairs or never saw Remus transform into a grey werewolf.

That night Silver apologized to Moony for Harry's behaviour and they spent the night not doing much just lazing around the house.


Three days later Harry was sitting on his bed, looking at a picture of Sirius and his parents. A knock on the door brought him out of his peaceful state.

"Who is it?" called Harry.

"Its Ginny," replied Ginny.

"Come in," Harry called back.

Ginny pushed the door open and entered before closing the door behind her she then went and sat next to him.

"What can I do for you?" asked Harry, turning the picture face down.

"Remus is thinking of taking us into Diagon Alley," answered Ginny.

"When?" queried Harry.

"Tomorrow," answered Ginny.

"I take it he is still disappointed with me?" asked Harry bluntly.

Sighing Ginny replied, "I don't think it is disappointment but more you lied to him,"

"If I told him I was going Death Eater hunting what do you think he would have said?" asked Harry shortly before giving Ginny chance to answer Harry continued, "I do not think he would send me off with a pat on the head,"

"You can be so pig-headed sometimes!" exclaimed Ginny angrily.

"Excuse me?"

"No I don't think Remus would have let you go and kill them but the war does not just revolve around you and Voldemort," explained Ginny, not even realizing she had said Voldemort with out flinching, standing up she continued, "Now until you realize that, I will be downstairs with the others!"

With that said Ginny turned on her heel and left the bedroom with a slam of the door. When she entered the kitchen she sat down with a loud 'Humph.'

"What's wrong Gin?" asked Ron.

"Harry," answered Ginny simply.

"What about him?" asked Remus joining the conversation.

"Just being a prat," replied Ginny, "He thinks that the war is centred around him and him only,"

"Oh right," responded Remus quietly, "Tell me what was he doing when you went in?"

"Um... looking at a photo I didn't see who was in it though," answered Ginny.

"It was of my parents and Sirius," cut in Harry from the doorway.

Spinning round in her chair Ginny asked, "How long you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know I'm a prat," answered Harry, "I'm sorry for losing it with you Ginny,"

"That's okay but I stand by what I said before," replied Ginny smiling.

"Come and sit down, Harry, "instructed Remus.

Harry moved from the doorway top the other side of Remus and the kitchen lapsed into an uncomfortable silence.

"Ron why don't we go see what homework we have left?" suggested Hermione noticing the strained silence.

"But I thought-"

"Come on," interrupted Ginny.

Both girls got up and dragged Ron from the room leaving Harry and Remus to talk.

"Think they are trying to tell us something?" asked Harry amused.

"Yes and I think you know what," replied Remus.

Sighing Harry asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Why you didn't tell me? What exactly you did to them?" questioned Remus.

"Because I knew you wouldn't have let me go and to your other question I electrocuted them with lightening," explained Harry.

"But Harry why do it?" asked Remus, "Why risk your life when there was no need to?"

"No need! There was every need they were to close to finding us," answered Harry.

"Fine," sighed Remus, "Just say next time and we are going to get your books tomorrow," added Remus.


"Harry you flooing or apparating?" asked Remus.

Slipping into a cloak Harry answered, "Apparate can't stand floo,"

"Harry what about the Ministry won't they be able to detect you?" asked Hermione worriedly.

"Hermione no one can trace me stop worrying," answered Harry, "Ready?"

"See you in a minute," replied Remus.

Harry smiled and then diasapparated with a 'CRACK' to The Leaky Cauldron. The other four followed one by one through the floo network.

Harry was scanning the crowd to see if anyone had the Dark Mark he knew that if any of his friends got kidnapped then the prophecy would be revealed. Turning back to face the fireplace he was surprised to see several Order members there, before he had time to dwell on it the fireplace came to life and Hermione stepped out.

"Hermione," called Harry.

Looking up from dusting herself down Hermione saw Harry waving at her, smiling she went over and she also noticed the Order members.

"They really are expecting trouble aren't they?" asked Hermione.

"Yes so be careful," answered Harry.

Five minutes later and the group were heading to their first shop- after getting some money from Gringotts- Flourish and Blotts for their school books.

"Remus I think something is going to happen," whispered Harry.

"If it does you are to stay with the others no heroics," instructed Remus quietly.

"And if Tom shows?" asked Harry.

"We'll handle it," answered Remus, "Now I am not going to get into an argument over it just enjoy your self."

Giving in Harry re-joined his friends and tried to take his mind of the sense of trouble that was at the back of his mind.

By lunch time they had –surprisingly- managed to finish all of their shopping and were now enjoying a ice cream laughing at a joke Ron had just told them when a shadow fell across them.

Looking up Harry saw Draco Malfoy standing there looking as arrogant as ever.

"Looking for something Malfoy?" asked Harry coldly.

"No I was just looking at the dirt you seem to keep for company," taunted Malfoy his eyes flicking over to Remus then to Hermione, then back to Harry.

Harry jumped up and spat, "It's no lower than the company you keep Malfoy, I mean Voldemort just loves people licking his boots!"

"Harry sit down now," ordered Remus sternly.

Laughing Malfoy smirked, "You need to be a good boy Potter otherwise the werewolf will get you."

Harry made to lung at Malfoy but he was stopped by Remus and Ron holding him back and pushing him back down into his seat.

"Get out of here Malfoy before I think about hurting you," snapped Ron still holding Harry back.

"Be warned Potter I will get you back for sending my father to Azkaban," warned Malfoy stalking off.

Ron and Remus waited till Malfoy was out of sight before they let go of Harry and resumed their seat.

Scowling Harry asked, "Why did you stop me?"

"We do not need the attention Harry," answered Remus calmly.

"I would only have knocked him out then sent him to his dad," explained Harry, "At Toms feet,"

"Exactly you do not want to flaunt how powerful you really are, do you?" reasoned Remus.

Grumbling Harry went back to eating his ice cream, they finished there lunch and a couple of minutes later they were setting off.

"Come on then lets go," commented Remus.

Gathering up their bags they began to walk back to The Leaky Cauldron just as they passed Madam Malkins Robes for all Occasion several 'CRACKS' were heard behind them.

Spinning round Harry saw twenty odd Death Eaters a split second later he shouted, "DEATH EATERS!"

There were screams as people hurried to leave the Alley; parents began dragging children into near by shops. The on duty Order members appeared by there side but they were still to numbered by five.

"Harry take the others and leave," whispered Remus.

"No," stated Harry stepping forward against protests, "Leave and you won't get hurt stay and we will kill you!"

"Aw look baby Potter has all grown up," taunted the nearest Death Eater; Bellatrix Lestrange, "Do you miss you god father Potter? Shame the only thing he ever did right was to get people hurt,"

"Bellatrix Lestrange," retorted Harry, "I'll enjoy killing you."

The fifteen Death Eaters began laughing and then suddenly cursers were flying every where. Quickly Harry cast an unbreakable shield charm around Hermione, Ginny, and Ron the shield could only be broken by Harry.

Harry started throwing his own cursers as well as conjuring fire balls and throwing them at every other Death Eaters.

Five minutes later most were fighting one on one and Harry was fighting Wormtail a.k.a Peter Pettigrew the traitor that had sold his parents to Voldemort 16 years ago. There was a fire circle around them stopping anyone leaving and entering the circle.

"We meet again Harry," taunted Peter.

"Get lost Pettigrew," spat Harry sending another fireball which Peter side stepped it.

"CRUCIO!" shouted Peter.

Harry tried to side step the unforgivable curse but he wasn't fast enough and the curse hit him. It felt as though his whole body was on fire and although he tried no to scream he was screaming alerting everyone to where he was.

"HARRY!" shouted Remus.

Peter took the curse of the young boy, then out of no where a dagger appeared and just as Harry was standing up he threw it and it hit Harry in his side then he diasapparated.

Harry was lying on his side trying to get up but every move he tried to make sent a shooting pain up his side, finally he managed to get to his feet killing the fire Harry slowly got up and went over to Remus.

"Harry," asked Remus.

"Got...to... take... shield... down..." answered Harry stumbling towards the other three.

It took him five minutes to take it down once that was done he fell to his knees and Remus and Ginny were supporting him and trying to keep him awake.

"Harry you okay?" asked Ginny.

"Need... to... pull..." answered Harry gasping for breath.

"Pull what?" asked Remus trying to stay calm.

"Give... me... your... hand..." answered Harry.

Instead of answering what he wanted his hand for Remus held out his hand Harry took the hand and placed it around the dagger.

"Pull," instructed Harry weakly.

"What? NO I won't hurt you more!" exclaimed Remus.

Trying to pull his hand away Harry used the last of his strength to put a magnetic field on the surface of the dagger and Remus' hand. So as Remus pulled his hand away the dagger came with it.

"ARGH!" shouted Harry before falling into blissful blackness.

Opening his eyes again Harry found himself on the bed back at Remus' house. Reaching for his glasses he put them on and looked around, he spotted Remus fast asleep in a chair next to his bed.

"Hey Remus," Harry said loudly.

Opening his eyes Remus saw Harry and asked, "You okay?"

"Yep did anyone get hurt besides me?" asked Harry.

"Luckily no, what did you do to my hand?" questioned Remus.

"I used a magnet charm, I needed to get the dagger out of me before I died from a rusty blade," explained Harry.

"You could have been killed anyway Harry, next time I say something for you to do I expect you to follow my instructions. Last night I nearly lost my last member of family," lectured Remus.

"Sorry but you were out numbered I had to do something and I don't plan on dying till I'm at least Dumbledore's age," replied Harry yawning.

"Just rest then Harry," added Remus.

Harry just nodded as he drifted back to sleep, he never saw Remus leave his bedroom and go and tell the others that Harry was alright. He never saw Ginny come into the room and sit by his side with tear tracks down her face.
