A/N- Yay! Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews. I love reviews
so much. I got 20 reviews for the last chapter! I can't believe it! I have
thought of an idea about how Hermione and Ron are going to find out with
the help of a couple reviewers and one of my good friends Rikki. It will
probably take a couple of chapters to cover it all. I will update tomorrow
probably. I got some ideas for this chapter from Pirates of The Caribbean.
It is the best movie ever! I love it so much. Johnny Depp is so hot! N E
ways. I am looking for a co writer for a story I want to start. If you are
interested tell me in a review please. Leave your email address and I will
get back to you. This chapter is a little break from all the angst that has
been going on lately but it does have some angst. Enough talk.. here is the
chapter 11!
Monkey See, Monkey Shoo
Harry left Remus' room after he assured him that it was okay. He hated that he was a werewolf and he did partially blame Moony but guilt was such a terrible feeling that no person (besides the few exceptions) should feel. He knew that was how Moony felt though. He felt guilty and dangerous.
After he left Remus' room there was forty-five minutes left of potions class. Knowing that Snape would be furious if he ditched it completely he made his way to the dungeons. When he got there Snape snarled at him
"Potter, why are you late?"
Harry gave him a pointing glare but said nothing. He sat down and ignored his professor.
"Potter, stay after class," Snape said simply and went back to throwing as many insults as he could at the Gryffindor potions.
"Come on Harry," Ron said poking him on the shoulder. "Help me make this memory potion."
Harry whispered an "okay" and helped his friend chop the different ingredients into pieces. After class, Harry went up to Snape and sent him the most piercing glare. He heard Snape mutter a locking and silencing charm and then he strode over to Harry.
"Is there a reason why you are looking like you just ate an eye of newt?" Professor Snape asked Harry.
"You said you wouldn't tell him!" Harry said through gritted teeth. "Now he knows everything and it's only a matter of time before everyone else finds out!"
"Potter, don't use that tone with me unless you want detention until you are out of school."
"Well that is going to be soon if everyone finds out!"
"Potter, watch your mouth. It is your own fault that he knows. You obviously weren't careful enough. What happened? How did he find out?"
"Does it really matter?" Harry asked hesitantly.
"How Potter?"
"He cornered me and asked me directly."
"You could've told a lie Potter."
"No.he had proof."
"And that proof is?"
Harry growled quietly. "He saw me on the night of the full moon. He could smell me and he knew it was me. He also figured it out but he did not know who bit me!! It could have stayed that way but you told him it was him who made be become this stupid werewolf."
"I'm sorry Potter but I couldn't lie to him directly. I am still a Professor."
Did Harry hear right? Snape apologized? That was certainly new.
"Yes, you could have not answered him."
"Potter, I don't have time to deal with you right now. Is he going to tell anyone?"
Harry shook his head
"Fine then leave me alone."
Harry sent one last glare his way and stomped off. He was fuming as he entered the Gryffindor common room. He sat down on the couch. Gathered near him were Hermione and Ron.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Ron asked.
"Snape just being his greasy self."
"What happened? Why were you so late to potions Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Lupin wanted to talk to me. Snape is so.annoying!" Harry groaned.
"What did Professor Lupin talk to you about?"
"Just about Sirius," Harry said.
"Oh."
"What are you guys doing?" Harry asked.
"I'm trying to get Ron to do his potions essay but that won't happen."
"It's boring," Ron whined. "I want to do something exciting. Any ideas Harry?" Ron asked.
"Actually yes," Harry grinned. "I was thinking we could do something to our dear potions professor."
"I don't think that is such a good idea Harry," Hermione said.
"Oh come on Hermione. Either help me and Harry pull a prank on that grease ball or go do your potions essay somewhere else."
Hermione turned her chin up at Ron's comment.
"Fine but we better not get caught." Hermione told them and closed her books.
"Okay Harry, so what's the plan?"
"I have the perfect idea," Harry grinned. "We have to embarrass Snape as much as possible. I know a spell that will make him think he has an animal on his shoulder that won't leave. He will probably talk to it and try to get it off but no one else will be able to see it but him and it won't leave."
"Where did you find that spell Harry? That is bloody brilliant!" Ron exclaimed.
"I saw it in a book in the library. Should we do it?" He asked.
"How do we put the spell on him?"
"Well, I think that is what you need to do Hermione. I can't do it because he will know it was me since we both yelled at each other."
"You yelled at Snape?" Ron bellowed.
Harry nodded. "Yeah but that isn't important."
"Why can't Ron do the spell?" Hermione asked Harry.
"Because, no offense Ron, but Hermione, you are the best person for the job. All you have to do is pretend to accidentally bump into him and whisper the spell so he doesn't hear you."
"I have to bump into him?" Hermione asked disgusted.
Harry nodded a smiled a little. "Sorry Mione. Will you do it? I think we should before dinner."
Hermione sighed and Ron jumped up.
"Definitely!"
"Alright I'll do it."
"What animal?" Harry asked.
"How about a parrot?" Ron suggested.
"No, that is too much like much like a pirate. How about..a monkey."
Hermione and Ron laughed. "Perfect," they both said in unison.
"Right then. Lets go find our victim," Harry told them and lead the way out of the common room.
"Where do you think he is?" Hermione asked following Harry towards the dungeons.
Harry stopped and the other two did too.
"There he is," Harry said. "Come on Ron, we have to hide. Hermione the spell is slevistela."
Hermione nodded as both boys went behind the nearest statue. Hermione was nervous as she walked the opposite way of the potions master. She quickly got an idea and opened a book and pretended to read it. They both turned the corner and Hermione rammed straight into him. Snape just thought the annoying know-it-all was distracted by her book and wasn't looking where she was going.
"Granger, get off me now," Snape spat.
Harry and Ron watched anxiously.
"Sorry sir. I.wasn't watching where I was going."
Hermione didn't listen to Snape's long lectured. Instead she cast the quick spell unnoticeable to the Professor.
"Now, go away!" Snape finished and Hermione hurried off.
Harry and Ron waited for Snape to pass until they caught up to Hermione.
"I can't believe I just did that!" Hermione stammered disgustedly.
"You were completely on him!" Ron laughed.
"Oh don't remind me. Lets just go so we don't get in any trouble or anything."
Ron laughed and Harry rolled his eyes. After defense against the dark arts class Harry stayed back to try and talk to Lupin but he didn't want to talk.
"Hi Orion."
"Hi Harry, what's wrong with Moony? Do you know?"
Harry wasn't sure what to say but he remembered that Remus said he wouldn't tell anyone so Harry shook his head no.
"Oh because he has been acting pretty sad lately. I wish I knew what to do."
Harry didn't say anything.
"So what have you been up to Harry?"
"Well, Hermione, Ron and I just put a certain charm on Snape."
Sirius' face lit up. "What did you do to our dear Snivellus?" Sirius laughed.
"You will see. Just wait until dinner."
Sirius pouted like a baby. "But I want to know now!"
"Sorry, it will ruin the surprise if I tell you."
"I hate surprises."
"Then I guess I won't get you a Christmas present."
"No, nevermind. I love surprises."
This made Harry chuckle. He loved having Sirius back. He remembered fondly the last Christmas that he spent with his godfather.
When suppertime came the trio sat at the Gryffindor table as close to the head table they could get. Then they waited for the potions professor to come in.
"It should start working right in the middle of dinner. He should notice a monkey that isn't really there and that won't leave after a while," Harry whispered. The Gryffindors around them heard this and laughed.
Snape soon walked in the great hall glaring at everyone within his line of vision like always. Harry and his two friends tried to act neutral but when Snape started shooing an invisible thing off his shoulder that wasn't really there they couldn't hold back their laughs.
"Get off monkey. Albus why is there a monkey in the great hall? Shoo monkey," Snape said loudly causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look at the head table. They thought Snape was insane. There he was smacking the air over his right shoulder and yelling at nothing. Everyone erupted in great laughter, especially Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Orion's eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched his enemy struggle with the strange task.
"Severus, there is no monkey on your shoulder," Dumbledore spoke softly. Harry muttered the counter curse but he couldn't stop laughing. Lupin saw Harry laugh and he brightened up a bit. Both Sirius and Remus realized that it was Harry's doing.
Snape looked at his shoulder and stood up quickly once he saw no monkey.
The trio covered their mouths so they wouldn't laugh but everyone could hear their burst of sniggers every now and then.
"Who ever is responsible for the invisible monkey that was just on me will have detention for the rest of the year."
"Now Severus, I think that is a bit harsh," Dumbledore said looking over at Harry. Harry didn't look back at Dumbledore. He still wasn't ready to face him.
Snape stopped in his berating and looked at the trio. "You three!" he yelled pointing to Ron, Hermione and Harry, "go to my classroom now!"
The three hurried out of the Great Hall with Professor Snape following behind. All eyes were on them. Once the four had left everyone in the hall burst out laughing including all the teachers and Dumbledore.
When they all got to the classroom Snape slammed the door and glared at them.
"Explain yourself now!"
Harry spoke up. "Sir, it wasn't them. It was me who cast the spell."
Hermione and Ron were about to protest but Harry went on. "Please don't get them in trouble.
"Fine, you two leave!" he growled and pointed at the door. Once Harry and Snape were alone Harry was about to leave but Snape stopped him.
"Where do you think you are going?" Snape asked icily.
"No where," Harry stopped.
"What the bloody hell did you do? One hundred points from Gryffindor and detention for a month."
Harry didn't move nor change his expression.
"What did you do?" Severus asked again. His face was turning red from anger.
"Nothing sir," Harry said trying to act smart.
"Potter, I know this is about Lupin but I am still your teacher!" he yelled.
"I shouldn't have trusted you," Harry murmured. Snape heard it clear enough.
"You had no choice Potter. I found out through Occlumency. I actually kept a secret for you but no one asked me directly so I wasn't lying."
"He feels so bad Professor. This is just another stupid thing that's my fault."
"What are you talking about boy? If it is anyone's fault its Lupin. He bit you remember?"
"He forgot about it. It is probably like selective amnesia or something. He didn't mean to bite me."
"You didn't mean to do stuff that you say was your fault."
"That's different."
"How?" Snape asked.
"Um.sorry to interrupt but I.just came to tell you Severus that there will be an order meeting the day after tomorrow," said a figure in the door.
It was Remus Lupin.
