Chapter3: The Wolf and the Dog

The following few days were quite calm and boring. Nothing happened, and none of them saw Gabriel these days.Tonks had healed quickly,since she just had a minor magical burnout,and was thanking Harry profusely for taking care of her.A feeling had awoken inside Harry when seeing her,that he couldn't quite describe.It was similiar to what he had felt for Cho Chang the last years,but it was also different somehow.Better in a way.Thus he was quite sad when she told him that she would have to leave for a short time on the orders of the ministry.

It was night when the trio was sitting in one of the living rooms, and talked about different things. School, Gabriel, homework, Malfoy(their sworn enemy),...

Just then they heard a loud grumble coming from somewhere behind them. They all jumped up from the couch,looking around frightened. There was something moving in the shadows, next to the door.

"What is that?" Hermione asked scared.

Harry looked outside the window of the room, and saw something that made his heart skip a beat. It was full moon.

"It's Lupin!" he answered simply.

Only this was Lupin in his Werewolf form.Then the werewolf stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself.

"Professor,have you taken your potion?"Harry asked

The answer the Werewolf gave them was a loud howling scream.

"Nope,guess not!"

The trio was trapped in the room,for the werewolf blocked their way out.They were in deep trouble. And the Werewolf was closing in now on it's prey.

"Any good escaping plans you guys?"Ron said.

"How about screaming for help?"Hermione asked them.

"No,that might just aggrivate it more or something!"Harry told her

"Harry,it's a Werewolf, it doesn't need to be aggravated anymore to feel the need of killing us!"

"Okok, you have your wands with you guys?"

"No!"Ron and Hermione replied.

"Great me neither!"

They were now backing on the wall of the room.Ron had made his way to stand proectively in front of Hermione now,with Harry next to him.They could see the nostrils open as it took the scent of them.His muscles tightened as it prepared to jump on them, and his mouth opened revealing his razorsharp teeth. Then it suddenly jumped forward into Harry's direction. Harry threw up his arms in order to protect himself ,even though he knew it was hopeless. He knew that he would now either die or be turned into a Werewolf. He could never fulfill the prophecy,he hadn't even told his friends about it.All these thoughts rushed trough his mind,as he watched the werewolf leaping on him, in what seemed to be slow motion, when suddenly something large and black coming from his right crashed into the Werewolf in midair.

Then everything of time resumed back to normal and he could feel Hermione dragging him away from the battle of the two creatures, the second one Harry had now identified as a shaggy looking dog, but he wasn't sure what exactly it was, or who for that matter,since he had only ever known one Animagus who's form was that of a large black dog.The trio ran towards the door at the opposite end of the room.They hastily opened it and stepped outside. In the meantime all the others who lived at Grimmauld Place had been woken up by the racketing coming from the room were the two creatures still struggled.

"What's going on here!What's all that noise?" Mrs. Weasley asked them.

"Werewolf!"They shouted in unison.

Behind them the door suddenly shattered when the dog was thrown right through it,crashing in the wall.It lay on the ground for a second, then jumped up again and ran back,resuming his battle with the Werewolf. In the meantime,Mrs.Weasley had put a security charm on the living room, so the Werewolf could not escape.

They looked through the broken door inside the room,to see that the dog must have noticed the spell,as he suddenly dissappeared.

"That was a close one!" Ron said.

"Right,now everyone back to bed!"Mrs. Weasley said to them.

On the next morning they all had breakfast together,and Lupin apologized to them,but they knew it wasn't his fault.It was also the first time they saw Gabriel again.They also noticed that he had a few slashes on his face and hands,which looked like they were new.Harry also noticed that he threw a few dirty looks at Lupin, and vice versa.

"You look tired Gabriel,how's that?"Harry asked.

"Oh, well, I couldn't sleep much last night!"He replied with an sarcastic undertone,obviously directed at Lupin.

Then suddenly Dumbledore apparated into the room,and greeted everyone there.

"Gabriel, can I talk to you in private for a second?"

"Sure Dumbledore!"the asked replied.

They both were about to leave when Harry suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, professor,do you by any chance know if there is another Animagus staying at Grimmauld place?"

"Animagus?"Dumbledore said confused,"None that I am aware of!"

Harry turned around to face Ron and Hermione,just to see that they also wore an confused expression on their face


Chapter4: Wild train ride

Time flew by at Grimmauld Place 12, and soon enough the holidays were to end.All of the trio had gotten their OWLs back,and Harry had passed all the subjects he needed to become an Auror,while Ron also did,and Hermione got an O in all the subjects,which didn't come as a surprise for the boys.They also had already been at Diagon alley to do their shopping, were they noticed that most people were going out of the way of Gabriel,who was also coming with them, or just threw dark looks at him, or pointing their finger at him.When Harry asked him about this he had just replied:"It's always like this, don't worry!".It was the 1st of September,and they all prepared to leave for their sixth year at Hogwarts,except for Ginny,who was now in her fifth year.They were driven to Kings Cross station by the Ministry.As soon as they were there they boarded the train,after saying goodbye to everyone else,and promising them to stay out of trouble.Harry was taking a long time talking to Tonks and saying his goodbyes to her,until she finally told him that he would see her soon again most likely. They got a train compartment for themselves,and soon Ron and Hermione left for the Prefects meeting,leaving Harry and Ginny alone. So they talked for a while and were joined by Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom, two of their friends. They were talking about their summer holidays and Quidditch when the compartment door slid open,and they saw their archenemy Draco Malfoy, flanked by his dumb "bodyguards" Crabbe and Goyle.

"Now, now, what do we have here. If that isn't Pot-head and his so-overrated friends.Still not dead Potter,I see!"sneered Malfoy.

Harry who had gotten up from his seat said calmly.

"No,and I see you haven't joined your scum father in Azkaban yet!"

Harry had hit a nerve there, and Malfoy took out his wand,summoning Harrys and the others wands,before they had time to react. Harry looked dumbstruck at this new maneuver.

"What should I do now to you as you don't have any way to stop me.Let's see...Ah yes, I know! Furunculus."Said Malfoy,shooting the spell at the now wandless Harry.

But the spell never reached him,for a voice from outside the compartment in the corridor muttered Protego, effectively saving Harry.Malfoy and his cronies turned around to see who their new opposer was,and so did Harry. Standing there in the middle of the corridor was the one Person Harry hadn't believed to see until the next summer holidays,and a young girl next to him,sporting bright neon green hair.

"And who are you,if I may ask you, for saving Pot-head?"Malfoy asked the boy.

"Give them back their wands, and I might tell you my name!"

"Why should I do that?"

"Because I am entirely sure you wouldn't want to duell me for them!"

"Are you so sure of that?"

"Yes."

"Well then, let's duell!"Malfoy spoke while getting into a ready stance.

"OK,your own fault!"said the boy,copying Dracos actions.

In the meantime there were several people now poking their heads out of their compartments to see what was going on outside. And the fact that it was a duell made only more people appear on the scene.Malfoy and the boy now both had their wands out.They bowed to eachother.But Malfoy being an unfair dueller,shot his spell as the boy was just bowing down. But he must've sensed that and already had made an invisible barrier around him, making him not vulnerable to the spell.

"Expelliarmus."he stated calmly,but did not only disarm Malfoy,but also Crabbe,Goyle who were standing behind Malfoy and had their wands out.He caught them,and also those from Harry and the others,with the help of the girl standing a few feet back.Ron and Hermione had also arrived and were now telling the curious students to get back in their compartments, Malfoy was still standing there,looking slightly irritated, about what had just happened.The boy walked towards him and gave him his and the Slytherin's wands back.

"Oh, in case you want to know,my name is Gabriel."the boy said and got into the same compartment as Harry and gave them their wands back.

"What are you two doing here!"Harry exclaimed,once the door had closed behind the two new arrivals.

"Infiltrating the student body of course!"Tonks spoke happy,in her disguise as a approximately sixteen year old teen.
