A/N- Thank you for the reviews. I wanted to update yesterday but I have
been sick. I stayed home from school today. This chapter is the shortest a
chapter will ever be except for maybe the epilogue or something. I know all
of you are very anxious for Hermione, Ron, and Sirius to find out about
Harry being a werewolf but I am working up to that. I also want to let you
all know that I know sometimes my characters are out of character but isn't
Harry out of character in every book? I know he really acted different from
the 4th book then he did in OOTP. Anyway, I hope the ooc-ness isn't bad. If
it is tell me right away but sometimes ooc-ness is best to make the story
better. Wow, I am really rambling today. POTC stands for my most favorite
movie, Pirates of The Caribbean. I love that movie. Okay, here is the next
chapter. It isn't anything special or big but it's a chapter. Don't
worry.big things will happen in the next chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!! I want
150 reviews soon!!! That would make me so happy!

Hospital Wing and Punishments
~!~
Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Sirius Black all gathered in Headmaster Dumbledore's office. Everyone but Severus sat in plush chairs and waited for the headmaster to talk.
"What is going on here Severus?" Dumbledore asked.
"Albus, I saw Black go in an opening of a certain statue and I followed him there. It turned out to be a passageway that went to Hogsmeade. Potter, Weasley, and Granger were down there. Mr. Malfoy was also down there and I saw Weasley knock him unconscious. Potter was also not allowed to go to Hogsmeade today as a punishment and I have a feeling that he has been going down there for many years."
Sirius looked like he wanted to hex Snape into oblivion and Snape just looked as smug as he could with the occasional glare at his childhood enemy.
"Very well, Sevurus, Hermione, Ron, you may go."
The teenagers obliged and Snape fumed off.
"So Sirius, do you have anything to say for yourself?" Dumbledore asked.
"Nothing except I feel like I'm back in Hogwarts again getting in trouble."
Dumbledore let out a chuckle and looked at his former student and his golden child.
"Would someone please tell me how you both found the passage to Hogsmeade?"
Harry looked at Sirius to see how they were going to get out of this one.
"I found it when I was in school Albus and I told Harry how to get there. It is a passage to Hogsmeade and I would uh.go there when I wasn't allowed to. But," Sirius explained dumbly, " Now I am not in Hogwarts anymore so it really doesn't matter."
"Right you are, but it does matter that Mr. Potter uses the tunnel without permission. It could be very dangerous and not to mention against school rules. So Harry, you are no longer allowed to use the passageway. If I find out that you have you will have detention for a month. You Sirius are to be more responsible. If Harry is not allowed to go to Hogsmeade then he isn't allowed."
"Albus, I didn't even know he wasn't allowed to go."
"Very well. Mr. Potter, I am afraid I will give Snape the permission to tell you your punishment. Go see him a little later."
Harry groaned and nodded then followed Sirius out the door.
"Mr. Orion," McGonagall said coming up to them at the bottom of Dumbledore's stairs.
"Hello Minerva."
"Remus is in the hospital wing. He wanted to talk to you and Mr. Potter."
"What's wrong with him?" Sirius asked worriedly.
"He will be okay I'm sure. I am not positive of the reason he is there though."
"Thank you Minerva. Come on Harry," Sirius said walking with his godson to the hospital wing.
Remus Lupin was lying in a bed in an isolated section of the hospital wing. He didn't look bad but he did look overly fatigued.
"Hi Moony, what's wrong?" Sirius asked his friend.
Remus sat up as much as he could. He cringed then pinched his throat lightly.
"He is trying to tell you he has a soar throat Professor Orion," Madame Pomphrey said appearing in the door.
"What's wrong with him?"
"I am afraid he has wizard chill," she said.
"What's that?" Harry asked.
"It is much like the muggle common cold. The symptoms are worse and it cannot be cured Most wizards and witches don't get it but some do. It lasts about a week or two and Remus will have to lie in bed for the whole time. He will be okay though."
"Is there a cure for the muggle version of this?" Sirius asked.
Harry shook his head along with Madame Pomphrey.
"There isn't a cure but there is medicine. I am afraid potions won't work for this though. He will just have to get over it naturally."
"Okay. Thank you Poppy."
"You can visit with him now but don't be too long. He needs his rest and the hospital wing is not a social get together place."
Harry snorted as the medi-with left. Sirius and his godson sat at the end of Moony's bed.
"How are you feeling Moony?" Sirius asked calmly.
Remus coughed and answered softly.
"I'll be okay. I just feel like there is a hippopotamus in my throat."
"Don't you mean frog?" Harry asked.
Remus shook his head. "No, more like a hippo."
"I'm sorry Remus. Is there anything you need?"
"Yeah, I need to talk to Harry for a minute," Lupin said hoarsely.
"Um.is there something wrong? You have been talking a lot with Harry privately lately. What can't you tell me?" Sirius pouted.
"Please Padfoot?"
Sirius nodded and walked out of the hospital wing leaving his best friend and his godson alone.
"Harry," Remus started, "I will probably still be in bed by the next full moon. Dumbledore found a way to keep me here in case I need to stay when I transform. I just wanted to tell you because I don' think we should be with each other. I think you should tell Sirius though. He is an animagus so you won't be lonely when you transform."
"No!" Harry said suddenly. "I mean, I can't tell him. I.not yet. I'll be okay. I did it before. I just..I just don't want to tell him yet."
What would Sirius think about him being a werewolf? He would probably be ashamed just like Harry was. If people kept finding out then everyone would soon find out and that would be the end of what little happiness he had left. Everyone would be scared and would be afraid of the-boy-who-lived. Rumors would start and he would probably be locked up or something. No.it could not be known that the savior of the wizarding world was a dark creature. The community would not like that at all.
"Why won't you tell him Harry?"
"I.I just can't. I..please Remus? Please don't tell anyone," Harry pleaded. He thought he was going to burst out crying if the sick man in front of him didn't reassure him that he would keep his promise.
Remus coughed once again. "I already told you I wouldn't tell anyone Harry, but how come you don't want to tell anyone? Everyone would be very understanding. The reason I didn't tell anyone was because I didn't know how people would react. I thought I would be in serious trouble. You won't though Harry. I am telling you that people will understand. Padfoot might be a little angry with me but it will be okay. I hope you know how sorry I am about this whole mess."
"I know. I don't want anyone else to know Moony. Please keep your promise and don't tell anyone?"
"Okay Harry, but I think you should be really careful. I thought I was not obvious at all but the marauders found out. If you really don't want Hermione, Ron and Sirius to find out you have to be careful," he repeated.
Harry nodded. "Okay then. I will be."
"You can go now Harry but tell Sirius that you both have to visit me a lot. I don't know how much I can take Poppy's nagging and coddling."
Harry let out a small laugh. "I hope you feel better."
"Thanks. I hope I do too."
Harry left the hospital wing and headed towards Sirius' quarters but bumped straight into Snape.
"Potter, I believe we have a punishment to discuss."
Harry groaned. "Now?" he asked cheekily.
Snape grabbed Harry's robe and jerked him one way. "Come on."
They reached the dungeons and Harry looked at his professor.
"What?"
"Why did you go to Hogsmeade when I told you that you were not allowed?"
"Um.I don't know."
"Potter!"
"I don't know!"
Snape growled. "Your punishment is.cleaning the toilets in every bathroom in Hogwarts."
Harry could not believe his punishment. It got worse.
"No using magic!" Snape finished.
