CHAPTER 3
Without even turning around, he closed the door behind him and muttered towards the left of him "Hey, professor, I seem to be very popular with you guys this evening, eh?"
Remus Lupin rolled his eyes, "Kingsley is still laughing about your comment to Dudley"
"Which one, professor, the one about me enchanting the garden gnomes to kill him in his sleep, or the one about the apple strudel?"
"Neither," replied the werewolf, "it was the one about him getting eaten by the cow that wanted revenge, and stop calling me professor, I haven't been your teacher for three years!"
"I aim to entertain." Commented Harry wryly as he passed half of his breakfast to Lupin. "And what am I supposed to call you," Here he adopted an oily, condescending tone not unlike Snape's, "werewolf?"
Remus choked on his sandwich and coughed loudly, "cough, you can always call me moony," he choked out between coughs that sounded suspiciously like laughter, "and don't let sniv-Snape hear you!
Harry rolled his eyes good-naturedly. "So, what's going on back at the grill?" This was Harry's new nickname for the Order of the Phoenix.
Remus' eyes darkened and he smoothed his robes nervously, "Ron's gone haywire" he muttered"
"Like I didn't see that coming," grumbled Harry while patting the space next to him on the bed, "sit down…"
Remus took a seat while speaking; "We think it might be imperious."
"Trust me, it isn't. I always saw it coming. Could you give Hermione this?"
Remus took the envelope and placed it in an inner pocket in his robes, nodding distractedly.
The raven-haired boy narrowed his eyes at Lupin, "Remus, is there some type of enchantment on you, a secrecy spell?"
The ex-professor's eyes widened comically, and had it not been such a serious situation Harry would've laughed.
Harry's brow furrowed, and he pulled out his wand, "Could I see something?"
Remus nodded mutely, hands wringing in his lap.
"Finite Incantatum Apirito Castello" muttered Harry while swishing his wand around Remus' fingers.
The older man's mouth popped open and he gasped, rubbing his wrist gingerly, "That's not supposed to work!"
Harry shrugged, "Is it gone?" he asked, referring to the secrecy bonding spell that had been based on the werewolf's right wrist.
Lupin's eyes glazed as he searched through his mind for the tell-tale thread of magic that was the secrecy spell. His vacant eyes suddenly snapped back to the present and he looked at Harry in what could only be called pure awe. Harry glared.
"So is it gone or what?" he snapped.
Remus nodded and grinned widely, pulling Harry in for a hair-tussle. "You did it Harry! I'm not quite sure what you did, but you sure as hell did it!"
Harry freed his head from Lupin's grasp, and took in a deep breath. "Moony, I've been keeping a few things from you…"
