A/N- Next chapter here. My life is crazy right now. Stuff is going on at
school, play practice and one of my close family members was diagnosed with
cancer and it is pretty scary. I am still updating though because it is so
much fun and my ideas are running wile. Thanks for all the wonderful
reviews! I have been getting a lot of requests for other werewolf fics and
I honestly don't know any. I do read a lot of stuff though and I am quite
familiar with everything on ff.n so I will look for some for you all. If
you have or are writing some be sure to let me know so I can tell you all.
I will keep you posted on that. This is a pretty long chapter and I am so
tired. It is past 1 a.m. The updates will probably be like this from now on
because of my hectic life. Probably every Saturday. Friday if you are
lucky. Please keep reviewing. I know some of you read but don't review and
I know some of you probably think I don't care about reviews but I really
do. The more reviews I get the better the chapter because reviews are my
motivation. I knew there was something else I had to tell you all but...I
sadly forget. I hope you like this chapter! Please please review!!

Time passed slowly but soon it was holiday break and then it was Christmas. Hermione and Ron had gone home but Harry stayed at Hogwarts. This year he was the only student that had. He spent the holidays with Sirius and Remus. It was actually pretty nice. The full moon would be on New Years Eve so he had time to relax and not worry about much. It was now the 27th and Remus and Sirius were in Dumbledore's office. Harry hadn't seen his headmaster for about a month. Sirius and Remus were sitting across from Dumbledore when Minerva walked in.
"Minerva, will you tell Mr. Potter that I wish to speak with him?" Albus asked.
"Of course Albus," she said and walked out the door.
"Albus, what is that glowing stone around your neck?"
"Glowing? Oh, of course. This is the Creatre Amuley. I don't know any of the uses yet except for the fact that it glows bright whenever I come at least five feet near a werewolf or a vampire."
"Oh well that is useful. I better get going now," Remus said and left a second later. Sirius stayed behind when a bolt of realization hit him hard in the chest. It glowed when a werewolf was near him. Harry was coming and Dumbledore would soon know that Harry was indeed a werewolf. He had to stop Harry from coming.
"I have to go Albus. Thanks for the tea," Sirius said quickly and jetted out the door.
Harry obeyed his transfigurations professor when she told him to go and see the headmaster. He decided to take the short route even though he usually took the long way which most people took. He was there within five minutes. While he was walking to the office, Sirius took the normal way back to the common room. He ran as fast as he could but when he arrived Harry wasn't there. Sirius ran all the way back to the office just in time to see Harry going up the gargoyle entrance way. "Harry!" he called but it was too late. Harry couldn't hear him anymore.
When Sirius walked in, Harry was sitting across from Dumbledore.
"Harry," Sirius said with ragged breath, "I need your help. Hedwig's gone," he said thinking too quickly.
"Yeah Sirius. I sent her to Ron's for the holiday. She took the Weasleys and Hermione some gifts," Harry said looking awkwardly at his godfather.
"Oh um...you have to help me with the skrewts. They got loose."
"What are you talking about Sirius?" Harry asked. "I already helped Hagrid earlier."
"Sirius, could you please take a seat and wait for our conversation to be over?" Dumbledore asked nicely and pointed to a dark satin chair at the far side of the office.
"Harry, I am sure Sirius can wait to talk to you," Dumbledore said eyeing Sirius through the top of his glasses. "Mr. Potter, I have called you today to talk about a special amulet. I received it from an old friend not too long ago."
Albus then reached under his robe and pulled out the amulet. Sirius watched in extreme worry. Dumbledore stared at the glowing amulet. Harry wondered why everyone was silent. The headmaster now knew. He turned to look at Sirius slowly. Realization, shock and worry was drawn on Albus' face. Sirius met eyes with the old mad and sighed. He put his head in his hands and his long hair fell in his face so it covered it. Dumbledore then looked back at Harry.
"Mr. Potter, this is the Creatre Amuley. Many of the uses are for the two of us to find out but one is already known," Dumbledore started but then stopped to put a locking spell on the door. Then he continued. "This known use is...it glows when there is a vampire or a werewolf around."
No! This was not supposed to happen. Dumbledore was not supposed to find out! Not yet a least... Harry waited a second before he bolted to the locked door. He pulled hard and because of his super werewolf strength he managed to exit. The only place he felt like going was to visit Hagrid. No one would think to look for him there and he really didn't want to deal with Dumbledore.
He knocked on Hagrid's door and was quickly let in.
"Wha's wrong 'arry? Yer lookin terrible."
"Nothing Hagrid. I was just feeling like a visit was in order. There is nothing to do at the castle besides homework."
Harry stayed there for a little while before there was a knock at the door. It was...Sirius.
"Ell Orion. How can I 'elp yer?"
"I just wanted to talk to Harry. Dumbledore would like to see him too."
"Alrigh then. Ya better go Harry. Come back anytime."
"Thanks Hagrid. I will," Harry said and followed Sirius out the door.
"Hi Sirius."
"Harry, I tried to stop you but you must have gone another direction. I didn't even know about it until just a little while ago."
"It isn't your fault," Harry reassured. Sirius saw disappointment on Harry's face. He wished he could just make it go away but he couldn't, not really at least.
"Why don't we go to the common room?" Sirius asked. "No one is there and we can get Dobby to bring us some butter beer and pumpkin cake. No one will bother us there."
That actually sounded good to Harry. When they got to the Gryffindor common room, Harry plopped down in a chair across from the fire while Sirius called for Dobby and ordered some food.
"So Harry," Sirius started wanting the subject changed completely, "what are you going to do this summer?"
Harry eyed Sirius strangely.
"Same as I always do I guess. I'll go to the Dursley's, get locked in a room, then someone will pick me up a week before school starts."
That's right. Not a good subject to touch. Harry's summer was always bad.
"Do you think you, Remus, and Snape will get in trouble?" Harry asked.
"For what?"
"For not telling Dumbledore." Sirius stared into the fire. "I'm not sure. Maybe," he said.
"Ahem," someone cleared their throat and walked in. It was Dumbledore.
"Hello Sirius. I was wondering if I could talk with Harry and I would prefer if we were alone," Dumbledore said. Harry knew he wasn't really asking. He was telling.
"Of course sir. I will just go."
"You will not tell Lupin or Snape about this yet."
Sirius nodded and walked to the exit. He tried to open it but it wouldn't budge.
"I can't open it," Sirius complained.
"Ah yes, that was for...safety reasons," Dumbledore said and waved his hand with his wand to unlock the door. Harry watched as Sirius left. Why would Dumbledore have the door locked?
Hello Harry," Albus said sitting down across from him. "Do you mind if I have one of these?" Dumbledore asked holding up a butter beer. "I have not had one of these in decades."
Harry nodded and Dumbledore took a sup.
"So, he started, "it seems my amulet is glowing. Would you care to explain?"
Harry didn't move. He wanted to bolt right out the door but he just couldn't find the courage.
"I know you want to leave Mr. Potter. I see it in your eyes," Dumbledore said as if reading his mind. "You can not leave however. I have put the strongest locking spell on the portrait and I ordered her to open for no one but me. That is precisely the reason why Sirius could not get out."
Dumbledore didn't trust Harry. Harry certainly didn't like that. Of course Harry didn't exactly deserve the old wizard's trust but this was going a bit far.
"Mr. Potter, I know that you are indeed a werewolf. I should have figured it out earlier but the fact is that we are not leaving until you explain what happened. I am so sorry I have to do it this way but I must know. How about we start from the beginning?"
Harry still said nothing. He just stared into the fire.
"Potter..."
Harry didn't look into Dumbledore's eyes but he began to speak.
"It happened in June when Remus came to visit me," Harry explained. He continued on about everything that happened up until the first day of school. Then he stopped.
"Who knows? How did they find out?"
"Well...first Snape caught me trying to steal ingredients for Wolfsbane potion. He figured it out from there. He just saw the signs I guess."
"How did you make the potion?"
"I taught myself. I knew to get the ingredients back at school but I couldn't exactly do it after getting caught. After that, Snape caught me and knew that I was a werewolf. He promised he wouldn't tell anyone though and he hasn't."
"That is quite surprising. You and Professor Snape never did get along too well."
"Yeah but I think it was because he felt it was his fault."
Harry told Dumbledore why Snape thought it was his fault and then how everyone found out including Ron, Hermione and even Stratus.
"So, you have been keeping this from everyone for almost six months?"
"More or less. Everyone is kind of finding out more and more. You aren't going to tell anyone are you?
"No Harry, I won't tell anyone. The ministry cannot find out about this and Voldemort definitely cannot."
"So that means the school can't find out either right?"
"You are correct but...I believe the order will have to know.
"What? Why?" Harry said hurriedly.
"It is for the best. You will see. I am sorry it went this way. I think you are very brave for handling this all. You could have come and talked to me. I know we have...had our differences in the past but I would never disown you."
"Thank you sir," Harry said even though he DID NOT want the order to know. Dumbledore then got an idea...
"This might not be as bad as I was thinking. I think I have an idea but don't worry about it just yet. There is an order meeting in two weeks and you are obligated to attend. I want you to rest and enjoy the last couple days before the full moon."
Harry had nothing else to say so he nodded and watched the headmaster leave. Dumbledore went straight to his office and threw the floo powder into the fire. "Severus Snape," he called. The potions master's face appeared in the fire.
"Ah, Severus, could you please accompany in my office?"
"Albus, I was just about to eat my lunch."
"But Severus, I insist. It is important."
"Fine Albus. If I must I will. Let me clean up some potion reside and I will be there in five minutes."
"Very well," Dumbledore said and Snape's face vanished. The headmaster repeated the process and soon Remus and Sirius were sitting across from him.
"I don't understand why we are here Albus. It seems like I was just here a little while ago," Remus said.
"You will have to wait until Severus gets here."
Just then Snape popped out of the fire and dusted himself off. "What is so important?" Snape asked not seeing Lupin or Black. He looked up and cringed. "What did Black do this time?" Snape snarled.
"Nothing!" Sirius shot back in defense.
"Boys!" Dumbledore announced making Snape scowl and Sirius frown. "Sit down."
They glared at each other but quickly obliged.
"I have called you here because I just got finished with talking to Harry."
"Where do we tie into that?" Snape asked.
"Well, if you look on my neck, this amulet is glowing because Remus is near me. It glows whenever a werewolf is close to it."
Severus and Remus quickly realized what this meant.
"You know," Remus said gravely. Dumbledore nodded.
"I know. I have to say I hate the way I found out. It should not have happened that way. From what I have heard from Mr. Potter, you all know and have failed to tell me," Dumbledore said staring at Snape's dark obsidian eyes. "It is your jobs as professor to let me know when a student is in a case like this.
"Albus! Harry isn't just any student! He's Harry!" Sirius said in defense of his godson.
"Yes he is Sirius," Dumbledore said calmly.
"Albus, how can you say that? You should know the boy is different. He is your golden boy after all," Snape said.
"He is not a regular student Albus," Remus said.
"Why is it that he kept this a secret?"
"Because....he felt ashamed. He has also had some trust issues with certain people in the past and he just didn't want the world to know," Sirius said.
"So I am one of those people?" Dumbledore asked.
"I'm sorry Albus but it's true," Remus said.
"I beg to differ my children. I am not going to tell anyone."
"What about the order?" Snape asked.
"Well, I think that would be best."
"See?" Sirius asked.
Dumbledore frowned. "Very well. I am doing what I think is best even if you all do not see it. I have an idea for what we can do with Harry's super strength but that it for us to worry about later. You all may leave." Dumbledore said. They did just that with a polite "good bye."
Harry wandered around the castle aimlessly when he decided to go to the astronomy tower to sit and think. When he got there he saw no one. There was a painting though. It was the one with the circles and different symbols in each one. There were more circles that were not blank this time. Along with a potions vial, a cloud, a werewolf, a dog, there was also one with an amulet and then there was one with two things inside. It was an owl and an eagle. That is Snape, Stratus, Remus, Dumbledore and Hermione and Ron. Two were empty.
~!~
A/N- My spell check isn't working too well so if there is any mistakes please excuse them. I have great news!! I am doing a fanart of the main painting for this fic! I will put it up on a website as soon as we find out what all the circles are going to be filled with. There are two more but you will see the fanart after at least chapter 25 or so. I did the rough draft but my friend vulpes lapis is cleaning it up. Thanks a bunch to her!! I don't know if I did the Hagrid accent correct. I never really have done it. Let me know what you think.
