ANOTHER WEREWOLF STORY
Chapter four
As Remus and Harry descended down the revolving staircase they could still hear the jelly babies cry's of terror….
AWSAWS
"So professor," began Harry as they made their way to the great hall , "what's the plan for today? Am I meant to attend my classes after lunch?"
"no Harry. The headmaster wishes you and I to repair the shrieking shack."
"but why? I didn't know it was damaged" said a bewildered Harry.
"it got damaged in the last storm, so we need to reinforce it before the end of the month".
"oh". Harry gulped. He didn't want to think about that so he quickened his pace into the great hall and practically ran over to the gryindor table and sat down to Ron and Hermione, who at that moment were engaged in a fierce tonsil tennis match.
'Well, goodbye to you too!' thought Remus, faintly irritated, making his way to the teachers table and sitting down to eat.
"Hey Harry!" said Ginny, who was sitting opposite him, "what was you in the hospital wing for this time?"
"erm… how did you know I was in there?" asked Harry, trying for time. 'oh fuck! What am I gonna say? Think, Harry, think!'
"Ron told me," she said, shrugging, " so come on, tell me what you were in for this time."
"er… fleabites." Harry said, saying the first thing that popped into his head.
"Fleabites?" asked Ginny, raising an eyebrow.
"yeah, turns out I'm highly allergic."
"oh right" said Ginny, giving him a 'you can't fool me' kind of look.
'Nice going(!)' Harry thought to himself angrily, before helping himself to some food.
AWSAWS
Later that afternoon, Harry found himself standing in front of the shrieking shack nailing planks of wood on the building without the help of magic. According to Remus, who was supervising instead of helping, this manual labour will help Harry work out his anger and tire him out so he will be able to sleep better tonight. This, in Harry's opinion was total bollocks.
Three hours later, along with several splinters, Harry was finally done. He looked over to Remus, who was sitting on the grass leaning his back against a nearby tree looking extremely bored. "you, know, it'd have been done a lot faster if you helped, or let me use magic!" snapped Harry crossly. Not only his many splinters needed attending too, but now his fleabites were starting to itch like mad. 'Maybe I'm allergic after all….' He thought crossly, 'That'd be all I need!'
Remus sighed as he slowly got to his feet, before dusting himself down. "You do realise I'm on your side, and only trying to help. I don't appreciate you biting my head off!"
"sorry," mumbled Harry, "I'm just being ratty because I'm tired".
"lets head back then shall we? It's getting late and you need your rest." Remus said gently. The duo walked back to the castle in silence. Neither really knew what to say to the other, so it was a relief when they arrived at the castle and went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, a large filthy man, with yellowed pointy teeth, and long hair and beard which was dirty and matted was entering the old Riddle mansion. He made his way into a dark, room, where the only light came from the fire, crackling merrily in the grate. There was a large chair facing the fire with a fat little man with ratty little eyes standing next to the chair nervously.
"M' lord, it has been done. The boy has been bitten as planned." The stranger bowed his head respectfully as a tall pale thing got out of the chair and walked around it so he was facing him. The man had evil red eyes and slits for a nose and looked somewhat snakelike.
"And what of Dumbledore?" Lord Voldemort asked.
"I ran away. The smell of sweets was overwhelming, and as you know, I'm a diabetic. If I had bitten the old fool, it'd have sent my blood sugar through the roof."
"No matter. You bit the boy according to plan. You have done well, Greyback. This has pleased me greatly."
"M' lord, what now?" asked Fenir Greyback, boldly.
"For now, we wait." Voldemort replied.
