"We've got to get to Wormtail before Voldemort does," whispered Harry
outside the Potion's classroom door. Ron quivered at the name of the Dark
Lord.
"What are you going to do?" asked Ron, "After all he was trying to save your life."
"It doesn't matter," said Harry, "I will not forgive him for everything he did no matter what he does. I'll turn him in to the ministry and get Sirius's name cleared."
The two of them headed towards the Gryffindor tower. They found Hermione and the big black dog in the commons room. Hermione was reading a bulky book she had gotten from the library.
"Hermione," said Ron, "You were right!"
"I know," she said continuing to read, "about what?"
"About Riddle being a veela," explained Ron, "You-know-who killed one and stole her power and gave it to her."
"You mean she is working for Voldemort!" exclaimed Hermione.
"Shhh," said Harry, "We don't want everyone to know that we know. Also, we found out that she wants Wormtail dead. He blotched up the attack on the Dursley's house."
Hermione stared at him.
"We need to find him before he ends up dead," continued Harry, "I need him alive to prove that Sirius was innocent."
The big black dog got to his feet and ran out of the tower. He ran across the grounds to the Forbidden Forest where he found a deer, wolf, and owl.
"What's the matter?" asked Lily.
Sirius repeated everything that he had heard.
"I can't believe that Melanie would have turned to the Dark Lord!" exclaimed Lily.
"And now she is probably after Harry," said Sirius.
"You and Lily will have to keep an eye on him," said James, "Remus and I can keep an eye on him when he is on the grounds."
"Right," said Sirius. He and Lily left to find Harry.
"James," said Remus a few minutes later, "Something has been on my mind."
"What?" asked James.
"Why did Lily become an illegal animagus? That does not sound like her," said Remus.
"Well, it was kind of my idea," said James, "After we left Hogwarts, Sirius and I started fighting the Dark Lord. We found that we could easily sneak up on Death Eaters in our animagus form."
"Yeah, I know," said Remus.
"Well, neither one of us were good at charms and healing," said James, "We needed someone to come along that could break charms and do some quick healing if one of us got hurt."
"Oh, I see," said Remus, "and those were Lily's specialties."
"Exactly," said James, "So, Sirius and I convinced her to go through the procedure, but keep it secret so the Death Eaters wouldn't know. I don't think she would have done it if she didn't feel so strongly against the Dark Lord. Now I have a question for you."
"What?" asked Remus.
"Why did you forget that that night was a full moon when you were guarding Harry?" asked James.
"I don't know," said Remus, "I guess it was the stress. Sirius had to remind me often for the past few years. With him gone, I never got reminded. I've been a werewolf for so long, and I don't think I will ever get used to it."
"You may not have to," said James, "You already are dead. You don't have to worry about the full moons anymore."
"I guess your right."
"What are you going to do?" asked Ron, "After all he was trying to save your life."
"It doesn't matter," said Harry, "I will not forgive him for everything he did no matter what he does. I'll turn him in to the ministry and get Sirius's name cleared."
