Hello! The last and final round of editing for Fiction is finally here!

Now, I know some of you asked why I used the movie more than the actual book. The answer can be found in chapter twelve, I remember that. So, if you're wondering why, you'll find out.

Thanks to chapter eleven's reviewers:

Previously In Fiction: Professor Trelawney's prediction may be truer than Jazz claims. Or is she hiding something…? Either way, Buckbeak will be executed and Sirius Black is closing in on who he thinks is Harry.

Fiction

Chapter Eleven
The Lies Within

Jazz screamed, latching her hands onto Danny's arm. She knew Hermione had somewhere in the book, not the movie. Besides that, Black's appearance did actually frighten her.

"I thought you'd come and help your friend. Your father would have done the same for me," Sirius said, staring at who he thought was Harry. "Brave of you, not to run for a teacher. I'm grateful…it will make everything much easier…"

Jazz stepped in front of him this time, and searched her mind for movie lines or book lines. "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too."

"Oh, thanks," Tucker said. She silenced him with a look.

"Only one will die tonight," Sirius said, stepping towards them.

She remembered Harry was supposed to say something and do something here, but Danny didn't know that. What was she supposed to say?

"And…what are you going to do? M-murder us like you murdered all those other people?" she managed to stammer.

Black laughed, a harsh sound. "Foolish girl. None of you will die tonight."

"Now I'm confused," Tucker stated.

"Shush!" she insisted. "W-what are you talking about?"

"I'll show you," he said, taking another step towards them.

Jazz whipped out Hermione's wand and pointed it furiously at Black's chest. "Stay away!" she ordered, louder than she meant.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he said.

"Expelliarmus!" said a voice. The wand flew from her hand and she gasped, startled, shifting her gaze toward the voice.

A man walked through the door, holding his own wand, and now Hermione's and taking in the scene in front of him. It was Lupin.

Jazz breathed a quiet sigh of relief. She'd gotten them this far. Now the story would probably go without her help. Which meant, all she'd have to do is remember her few words.

"Remus-" Sirius pleaded, hurrying over to the man. He ban speaking hurriedly, his words breathless, and they could hardly understand what he was saying.

"I know," Lupin said. "Sirius, I know. We'll be able to do it now, where is he?"

She stepped forward more. "I don't believe it!" she shouted. "You!

"Hermione-" Lupin began, his eyes wide.

"No…I—I trusted you. And all the time you've been his friend! Don't trust him Harry. He's been helping him the whole time and he wants to kill you too," she said, pretending to be angry. "He's a werewolf."

Silence. And then—

"Man, this place is messed up," Tucker commented, clutching his bloody leg.

Lupin stared at him curiously and Jazz fought the growing urge to slap Tucker. Lupin sighed at last and turned towards them fully.

"Not up to your usual standards, Hermione," he said. "Only one out of three, I'm afraid. I have not been helping Sirius get into the castle and I certainly don't want Harry dead…" He closed his eyes for a moment as if wishing something would happen that could allow him to escape his next thought, but nothing did, so he had to continue. "But I won't deny that I am a werewolf. How long have you known?" He said after a short pause.

"Ages," she said. "Since I did Professor Snape's assignment on them."

"Ah, before the Quidditch match, and before your possession incident," he said. "I should have known you would have figured out-"

"Possession incident?" Jazz blurted. "What possession incident?"

"You don't remember; I forgot for a moment, excuse me," he said. Sirius turned to him, about as curious as she was, waiting for an explanation. "Near about the time of the first Quidditch match, we received some strange information that you were possessed by Headmaster Dumbledore. The spirits inside you, for some odd reason, knew exactly what to do, so we had no idea for a while."

Jazz cursed herself, and prided herself at the same time. Things hadn't really gone well and she knew it.

"What were these spirits?" she asked quietly.

"Two of them were humans, residing with you two," he said, pointing to Ron and Hermione. "The other was a paranormal species inside Harry. Someone Snape discovered was half human, half ghost, by the name of Danny Phantom. We never found out whether he was good or evil."

She was about to say something, trying to defend her brother's innocence when Sirius interrupted.

"How did I not know about this? How come I was never told?" he demanded.

"Dumbledore kept it quiet. And not that it matters anymore, but we weren't trusting of you in the first place anyway. But we're getting off subject." He paused a moment. "Look, I have not been helping Sirius until now. I'll explain, look." He held out his hand and gave Jazz Hermione's wand back.

"Now, you're armed, we're not. Will you listen?"

A sharp pain went through Danny's head and he suddenly shook it, a new look on his once confused face. "If you haven't been helping him," he shouted. "How did you know he was here?"

Oh no… Jazz screamed in her head. He can't have the memories now. He'll probably kill someone if Harry's emotions take control. Was it better this way, or worse?

"The map you gave me Harry," Lupin replied. "The Maurader's Map. I was in my office examining it-"

"How do you know how it works?" he asked, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. Through all the fog in his head, he suddenly couldn't stop the flow of words that had come from nowhere.

"I helped write it. I'm Moony—that was my nickname for me at school, given to me by my friends," he answered, nodding towards Sirius. "The important thing is, I was watching it this evening because I had an idea that you, Hermione, and Ron would sneak out to visit Hagrid before his hippogriff was executed. And I was right, wasn't I?" He paced around the dust covered floor. "You might have been wearing your father's old cloak, Harry-"

The invisibility cloak he'd been given to by his father…well not his father, but Harry's. "How did you know-"

Lupin cut him off again. "James and I were best friends. We'd sneak out all the time. If you were wearing the cloak, you still showed up on the map. I watched you cross the grounds to Hagrid's and then leave, about twenty minutes later, now accompanied by someone else."

"What?" Tucker asked.

"No one was with us," Jazz said quickly. "Hagrid left the other direction."

"I couldn't believe my eyes," he continued, as if he hadn't even heard them. "I thought the map was misleading me. How could he be with you?"

"There was no one with us," she insisted.

"And then Sirius appeared, and connected with you, and I watched as he pulled two of you underneath the Whomping Willow," he said, ignoring them again.

"Ron was the only one pulled down there," Danny replied harshly.

"No. There was most definitely two of you." He walked over closer to Ron who gave him a suspicious look. "I was wondering, Ron, if I could see that rat."

"What are you going to do?" he asked. For once, Jazz actually was proud of him for not saying anything idiotic.

"That's not a rat," Sirius said, smiling crookedly.

"Okay, so what is it?" Danny demanded.

"An Animagus. By the name of Peter Pettigrew."

"Are you insane?" he asked, walking forwards. "Peter Pettigrew died, and he killed him. Just like he killed my parents." There was a small explosion somewhere in the corner of the room, like something had just collapsed. They all turned to see dust lift into the air.

Jazz was more concerned with her brother. Was it even her brother anymore? All the things he was saying made sense in Harry's view.

"I meant to, mind you," he growled. "But little Peter got the better of me…not this time though."

Sirius jumped towards Tucker, who shifted immediately, and he recovered quickly, reaching desperately for Scabbers.

Instinctively, Danny leapt on top of him and they crashed to the ground roughly, smashing into the bed and making it break. Jazz screamed again. Sirius didn't have enough strength to fight the sudden attack and held up his hands in defeat. Reaching into his shirt, Danny brought out a wooden wand and pointed it straight at him.

"Going to kill me Harry?" he asked, almost laughing madly.

"No, he's not," Lupin said. "Harry, calm down. We owe you an explanation, too true." A pair of green eyes never left the struggling man beneath him, but he was listening. "If you still feel the same way after we get done explaining, we'll let you decide on what to do."

He felt an arm on his shoulder and turned his head slightly to see Jazz's wide, blue-green eyes staring at him.

"Come on," she said quietly.

Danny pulled up from him and Sirius stood up on his feet. Another sharp pain went through his head, and Jazz saw his green eyes glaze for a minute.

"I didn't mean to do that," he whispered. "I couldn't-"

"Shh…I know," she replied. She turned back towards the men. "You said you owed us an explanation. Explain."

"We can explain afterwards!" Black shouted.

"They have to know everything. But they only way we can show them, is if we can have the rat Ron," Lupin said.

Tucker looked over for Jazz, who nodded carefully in case they were looking. Then he extended his arm and handed Scabbers over to Lupin.

But he got the better of him and jumped, scampering fast underneath the bed. Lupin cursed and leaned down underneath just as he raced across the floor and towards the doorway. He took out his wand and waved it quickly, and there was a small poof as it missed and hit the floorboards instead, but had to force the rat to turn another direction.

Lupin finally cornered it and captured the small animal within his strong grasp, and just as he was pointing the wand at the creature, the door burst open.

"Expelliarmus!" a voice shouted.

Three wands flew out of Danny, Jazz, and Lupin's fingers and Professor Snape stood in the doorway, staring around at them wildly.

"Oh, how I'd hoped I would be the one to catch you, revenge is sweet," he sneered.

"Well if it isn't Severus the Snitch," Black snapped.

"There's that criminal attitude that people like you always seem to have," he retaliated.

"Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set," Sirius yelled.

Snape pressed the tip of the wand against his chin and Danny saw one of the wands drop to the floor and roll over near him.

"How excited I will be to see the look on the Minister's face as I take you back to the Dementors. I say they're all waiting excitedly for you too…excited enough, might I add, to dare give you a kiss," he hissed. "And who knows, they might have one for this traitor too." He turned to Lupin, murder in his eyes. "I've waited for this day such a long time."

"Severus be reasonable-"

"I have been reasonable! Now my time has come. Potter, Granger, Weasley, get out right now, you're facing expulsion from this school, and I have little patience to deal with you. I'll take care of these two."

"Professor, you need to hear the story too," Jazz tried, already knowing what she'd get in return. She saw Danny lean over and pick something up off the ground, but she didn't see it to know what it was.

"For once hold your tongue you stupid, foolish girl!" he shouted. "Get out this instant, you're already in enough trouble!"

Danny suddenly stepped in front of Lupin and Sirius. "Hear the story out or you leave Snape," he muttered darkly.

"Move out of the way Potter!" he shouted, running towards him.

Danny pointed the wand at him and made an odd motion with it that he couldn't remember knowing and shouted "Expelliarmus!"

A streak of green light shot from the wand and sent a wave of energy towards Snape, sending him reeling backwards into the wall. He slid down the wall, unmoving and unconscious.

"Whoa, cool. How did you do that?" Tucker said excitedly. Jazz threw him a look, wishing so much right now to slap him again. "I mean, bloody hell," he said instead. She smacked her forehead and resisted bursting into laughter.

"You attacked a teacher!" she said, trying to break the uneasiness.

"He had it coming anyway," Sirius defended. "But you should have done that. You should have left him to me."

"We're going to be in so much trouble," Jazz muttered. Danny's eyes were wide. Look what he'd done now…even Jazz hadn't expected that to happen. He just all of a sudden did it, and now he was in big trouble for it.

Lupin struggled with the rat, who apparently was biting his fingers. "Are you ready Sirius?" he asked, not taking his eyes off of the animal.

"I'm ready. I've been waiting, ready, thirteen years," he growled.

"One…two…three!" he shouted. There was a flash of light and Lupin dropped Scabbers, and the wand's magick hit it squarely.

Then it was like watching an odd movie. The rat changed slowly, but surely, into a hairy, plump, and very short man wearing a dusty, russet colored suit.

"Oh my god," Jazz gasped.

"Peter Pettigrew," Danny whispered in realization. From Harry's memories, he knew that Pettigrew had supposedly been killed by Sirius…

"My friends," Pettigrew said, trying to embrace them at first, and then try to make a run for it. Lupina and Black caught him in time and threw him back. He looked around, squeaking and sniffing like the rat he'd just been, and his gaze focused on Danny.

"Harry…Harry, how extraordinary like James you look. You look just like James, I swear," he whispered, coming closer to him, nearly inches away.

Sirius yanked his shoulder away especially hard. "How dare you speak to Harry? How dare you speak to him about James?" he shouted.

Pettigrew dashed around an old piano inside the room, and was closely chased by the two men.

Lupin leaned against the top of the instrument, holding his wand out threateningly towards him. "You sold Lily and James to Voldemort, didn't you?"

"I didn't mean to," Peter cried. "You don't understand the Dark Lord's powers. Sirius, what would you have done?"

"I would have died! I would have died, rather than betray my friends!" Sirius yelled.

Peter dashed underneath the piano and caught them off guard. Danny dashed in front of the door, closely followed by Jazz, who stood back, an odd expression on her face.

The crazed man threw himself upon him, digging his extra long fingernails into his shoulders. "Harry, James wouldn't have wanted me killed. He would have spared me, your dad would have spared me."

Danny felt about ready to fall over from the man's pressure, and suddenly felt a tingling in his body and the next minute, Pettigrew fell through him as he accidentally went intangible.

All of them stared as he came back to normal, and Sirius and Jazz gasped in unison. But Pettigrew took their distraction as an advantage and stood up on his feet.

Jazz picked up Hermione's wand from the floor and pointed it at him. "Frozmiso!" she shouted. Pettigrew suddenly froze, unable to move.

"Good work Hermione," Lupin said, staring curiously at Danny. Jazz felt herself near to tears. The look on his face was pure confusion as he stared at her brother.

Lupin and Sirius walked rapidly over to Pettigrew and pulled him back helplessly inside the room, where he stood twitching under her spell.

"You should have realized Peter, that if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would together," Sirius warned, holding out a wand towards him. Lupin was doing the same.

"No!" Danny suddenly shouted, another feeling he couldn't fight coming over him. He walked cautiously toward them and all three of them stared at him.

"Harry, this man-" Lupin began.

"I known very well who he is," he said. "We'll take him to the school. Make him tell the truth, then he can go to Dementors, to Azkaban."

"Bless you boy," Pettigrew said, dropping to his knees. The spell wore off with a flash of blue light. He put his fingers to his face, crying like a baby.

"Is this really what you want, Harry?" Sirius asked, staring at him incredulously.

"Yes," he said after a minute.

"Very well." Lupin waved his wand and what looked like black handcuffs appeared in thin air, and he tied it around him. "But if anything funny goes, like you try to escape, we will kill you, understand? Harry?"

He nodded to make sure Pettigrew saw him agree.

"Sirius, would you and Harry help Ron?" Lupin asked. "Hermione, you can follow them if you wish. I'll get Pettigrew. Snape will wake up on his own, but he won't be happy."

□□□□□□□□□

Danny and Sirius, carrying Tucker along, crawled out of the hole with difficulty, considering his leg was still bleeding heavily. Jazz emerged carefully next. He dropped Tucker onto a boulder with Sirius's help and massaged his tired shoulder.

"Look at that, it's still bleeding," he said, pointing to the leg. "You know, experiences like this is probably the reason people like me need therapy."

Sirius retreated, smiling to himself, down the rocky, moss covered hill. Jazz paced around, waiting for Lupin, who came out of the hole next, making sure Pettigrew was with him, still bound. The two were already bickering.

Jazz walked over to them, her face still oddly pale and frightened. Danny was confused. Shouldn't she be celebrating? Wasn't the danger over?

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She nodded over excitedly. "I'll be okay," she lied. I only know what's about to happen…

"Ow," Tucker groaned.

"Danny, go talk to Sirius. When he asks you to come live with him, accept," she instructed. She saw his eyes flicker to Tucker and sighed. "Don't worry, I'll stay with the big baby."

"Big baby? Okay, next time you get bitten with razor sharp teeth and we'll see how you feel," he retaliated.

"You know, maybe they'll have to amputate your leg," she said.

"That's not funny," he said, glaring at her.

"I'm not kidding," she insisted seriously.

"Man, they ain't touching me," he said.

Danny laughed and did as Jazz told him to, following Sirius on the hill. He stopped, even with him. Sirius was gazing up at the stars, and turned his head to look at him better.

"Is your friend alright?" he asked, amused.

"Physically, probably. Mentally, I'm not quite sure," he replied.

Sirius laughed, a sound he never imagined was possible with the appearance of the shaggy, beaten man. But suddenly, he seemed younger and happy.

"But he's delirious I think," he finished, running a hand through his hair. Then he remembered it wasn't his hair and that just messed it up according to Jazz, so he patted it down flat.

"I remember walking through the doors in my first year," Sirius said, staring at the school. "It will be nice to do it as a free man."

"Yeah, and you're free," he realized. "With Pettigrew going to the Dementors and all."

"It will be certainly nice. Listen, Harry… I don't know if you knew this, but before they died, Lily and James appointed me to be your god father."

"I know," he said. A vague memory popped into his head, but he couldn't hold onto it, and he was getting a headache, so he didn't try it.

"Well, once my name is cleared, I was wondering if you would like to come live with me. But I'd completely understand if you'd rather live with-" he began.

"I'd love to," he said. "Leave the Dursleys forever, it really sounds good." He couldn't remember why they were so horrible…all he could remember were clips of them from the movies.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Imagine, I can teach you loads of things your father and I used to do all the time. But you do have to show me what you did in there when Pettigrew attacked you," he said.

"Uh-" he began, his eyes wide.

"HARRY!" shouted a terrified voice.

They both whirled around to see Jazz, standing frozen, pale, and pointing towards the sky. He followed her gaze. A full moon peeked out of the clouds as they shifted.

"What?" he asked. What was so significant about a full moon?

Professor Lupin had started to tremble horrifically, and the wand dropped from his hands, falling to the earth ever so close to Pettigrew.

"Remus!" Sirius yelled, rushing to him. Danny's eyes widened. Full moon. Werewolf. Lupin was the werewolf, and he was now transforming before their eyes.

"Remus my friend, did you take your potion?" Sirius asked. There was no answer and Danny rushed over to Jazz.

"What in the heck is going on?" Tucker asked, watching.

"Shh!" she said.

In slow motion, they watched Lupin's body form into a hairy, long limbed creature completely shrouded in shadow. Sirius concentrated and within seconds, he was once again the large dog. The two began fighting viciously.

"You three!" shouted a voice.

"Uh oh," Jazz said as she watched a shape come out from the bottom of the tree.

"What is wrong with you? Have you learned nothing? You wait until the headmaster-" Professor Snape saw their white faces and twisted around.

The werewolf charged straight at him and he pulled out his wand. Sirius was nowhere to be seen. With a growl, the wolf knocked Snape to the ground.

"Professor Lupin," Jazz said warily. The beast halted a minute, whimpering.

"What are you doing?" Tucker muttered.

"Professor Lupin?" she asked again, not daring to move.

She jumped backwards as it roared at her and then inched towards her slowly. Then it leapt backwards as something crashed into it. Sirius.

With easy strength, the wolf tossed Sirius's dog form into a large grassy area. Danny bent down and reached for a wand, but there was none around. The closest thing he could find was a rock. He grasped one in his hands and ran off towards the two fighting beasts.

Then he launched it, throwing it as hard as he could. It caught the wolf in the head and he turned around, distracted. Yellow-gold eyes locked on green ones and he raced forward, preparing to strike.

"Awooo!" yelled a faraway voice.

Both opponents looked to their right at the sound. It sounded like another werewolf…only female. And it was coming from the huge, wicked forest. To Danny, the sound sounded oddly familiar.

"Awoo!" the same voice called a moment later.

"Jazz?" he whispered.

The wolf looked at him, then ignored him, dashing off towards the noise. It left a trail behind, large footsteps in the mud, and began howling as it made its way down the hill.

"Where's Sirius?" he asked, turning around.

"He went that way!" Jazz called back, swallowing. She watched her brother look behind him.

"I'm going to go find him!" he shouted back.

"Okay, we'll be there in a minute," she said. She saw him head down the hill, following where she had told him Sirius was.

"You're going to carry me right?" Tucker asked.

"We're not going anywhere," she said, feeling her throat close.

"What? What about Danny?" he asked, staring at her incredulously.

"He has to go alone."

"So why do you look so worried?" He grabbed her arm. "Jazz, what is going to happen?" For once he appeared very serious.

"I might have just sent my brother to his death."

□□□□□□□□□

Danny slid down the grassy field, following a long trail of grass that bent like someone had walked through it…or dragged through it.

"Sirius?" he called, hearing his would-be voice had he been in his real body. As soon as he found him, they would get him help; he appeared to be hurt. But what angered him most was that Pettigrew had gotten away. Somewhere in the fight, he'd disappeared.

He looked around and saw a large lake. At the base of the water's edge, there was a limp figure in shabby clothes. Sirius.

"Sirius," he whispered. He ran over to him, dropping down beside him. The man's eyes were closed and he seemed to be unconscious. Danny shook him gently. "Sirius?"

The air around him shifted and his breath suddenly came out in a little puff of air, not like his ghost sense, but just like he was cold…

A loud, cracking noise erupted in front of him and he looked up and gasped. The lake before him transformed before his eyes, shifting to a calm wave to a rock solid, white ice.

Sirius's eyes flew open and he gasped, pointing upwards. Danny followed his gaze and stood up in horror.

At least a hundred of the dark, scaly Dementors were floating above him, heading towards him in swirls.

Quickly, he dug around in his pockets. But he couldn't find a wand. Besides that, he couldn't remember the incantation that was meant to repel them… All of Harry's memories had left, vanished from his mind.

One of them swept over to him and he felt cold pierce his every limb. He couldn't see, everything was fogged. All the hope was gone, dispersed with one wave.

He dropped to the ground, strength leaving him. Dementor after Dementor came, sucking the life force from him. A white fog blinded him. He dropped the rest of the way to the ground.

Through the haze, a dazzling light came through and he opened his eyes to see a flash of white and green colors surge through the air. The Dementors rushed away, screaming in terror. They were safe.

The light disappeared and he saw two figures standing across the lake through blurred vision. He hardly recognized either.

And then everything went black.

Tell me how I did! One of the most important scenes in the whole book/movie. Please R&R! (One of the things I'm actually keeping too. I didn't change much for that for once.)

Only three more chapters left! Please R&R! Here's your sneak peek!

Chapter Twelve: Innocent

"Jazz? What are you doing, trying to get us killed?" Danny said, covering her mouth. She shrugged him off and glared at him.

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry," she said. "Awoo!" she cried as loud as she could.

It worked. Danny saw the past form of himself watch as the werewolf sniffed the air and howled, then treaded their way.

"Now would be a good time to run," he suggested. "You know he's coming right towards us."

"Thanks Captain Obvious," she said. "Run!" She took off and he followed, dashing underneath a tree.

"Know what you're doing huh?" he shouted after her. "It sure looks like it."

"Danny, shut up, you'll lead it right to us," she said. She hid behind a tree and he came up behind her. Both panted, breathing heavily, and then stopped. The werewolf headed towards their direction, sniffing the air.

"Over there," Jazz mouthed, pointing to a large oak tree.

He nodded to show he understood and carefully, they inched their way towards it, just as the werewolf went the opposite direction.

They came out, and she took his arm and began leading him to another tree. "I think we lost it," she said, brushing herself off.

And both jumped when it leapt out from a bush beside them.
