As Harry and Draco made their way to the Hostpital wing for Medicinal Magics, they were followed by a gossipy twitter, and many stares. Harry placed a hand on Draco shoulder and whispered, "What is going on?"

Draco shrugged, "Your guess is as good as mine."

"Maybe it's because we're actually friends."

"Entirely possible."

Harry let his hand drop from Draco's shoulder. His hand brushed Draco's on it's way to his side, which seemed to encourage the whispers even more. They hurried to the Hospital wing as fast as they could, and all but slammed the door behind them.

"Class is canceled today, boys, I'm swamped with cases, and cannot teach today. I want a four foot essay from each of you on the different ways to heal broken bones."

The boys stepped back out of the Hospital wing and were once more engulfed in the wispers.

"This is getting to be bloody insane," Draco muttered.

"Well, we can at least avoid it for now. I know a passage, come on."

Harry led the blonde to a small alcove behind a staircase nearby. "This is your passageway?"

Harry glared at him. "Hush a minute will you," he scolded as he began feeling the wall. Finally she stopped, drew his wand, and placed the tip in a crack in the bricks. "I solomnly swear that I am up to no good."

"No bloody shit, I know you're - holy fuck!"

The wall had become invisible, and he could see a winding dust-free passageway though it. "Come on, before it seals again," he said grabbing Draco's hand and pulling him through the shimmerings where the wall had been.

Draco gaped at him once they were inside. "How did you find out about this thing?"

"I made it," Harry shrugged.

"Bloody brilliant. Where does it go?"

"Wherever I want it to. Kitchens, dorms, or library?"

"Hmmm, kitchens."

"Alright, follow me."

"Dobby is glad to see the young masters Harry and Draco again. Twice in one day, Dobby is honored. Dobby has made some of Master Draco's favourite candy. Dobby will be right back."

Harry quirked an eyebrow. "Stained glass candy. I hope he made cinnamon."

Dobby, who had just returned shifted his feet uncomfortably. "Dobby is sorry, Master Draco, it is clove."

"Clove's good, too."

"Clove!" Harry suddenly yelled. "Draco, that's it. Come, on we're going to the library."

"Candy first, Master Harry?"

Dobby and Draco were looking at him with their best lost puppy looks, that Harry had to give in and sit for a bit sucking on the hard candy.

"Now, what's 'it', Harry?" Draco asked.

"Clove. We can add clove to the Wolfsbane potion. Probably fresh clove, but it probably won't work on its own, there'll have to be other elements for exorcism, and some others for healing, and purification. And - Draco does the Wolfsbane have rose in it?"

"No, it doesn't, why?"

"Lunar magic, healing and protection, and banishing. What else is for lunar magic?"

"Jasmine, Calla Lillies, Anise, there's quite a few, but I see where you're going. Maybe we could talk Snape into letting is see if we can come up with a completely new potion. Wolfsbane isn't meant to cure, simply, simply ease the symptoms."

The boys left the kitchens and made their way to the dungeons. Harry was about to knock on Snape's door when it was flung open. "What is it, Potter?"

"Professor Snape, instead of trying to alter Wolfsbane to cure lycanthropy, can we try and make an entirely new potion!" Harry was positively glowing, and Snape found it difficult to say no. "Yes, Potter, you can. Though, even with Mr. Malfoy's expertise, I doubt you can."

"I don't know, Professor," Draco cut in, "he has some brilliant ideas. But you'll see when we get working on. We need to get some major research in."
