Chapter 11: Dogs and Wolves.
Tonks was beginning to wonder if her distant cousin would make a move before the end of the school year a few months later, walking around the grounds at that moment while looking sadly at Hagrid, who was seating with Buckbeak no doubt trying to think of a way to save the innocent animal's life without losing his job or upsetting her bastard of an uncle, Lucius Malfoy.
Harry came walking to her when she paused at the sight of Hagrid and his friend, his head tilting to one side as he says to his partner and friend, "Don't worry Tonks, Buckbeak is going to be fine, that chain isn't as strong as they all think." He finishes with a slightly evil sounding laugh which from a wolf, was enough to send a chill down Tonks spine.
"You little devil, how did you weaken the chain?" Tonks says resuming her walk while also keeping an eye out for any trouble, making a note of Hermione heading towards Hagrid's hut no doubt to offer her support for the coming execution.
"I did it myself, I really don't want to owe Zarra anything for a little while, took me long enough to convince her to stop the pranks on the Headmaster." Harry says coming to a stop on top of the large hill that was between Hagrid's hut and Hogwarts' Castle itself, just looking out at the view for now narrowing his eyes at the sight of the Minister and the others started towards Hagrid's hut.
Tonks only nodded and looked down at the small garden where Buckbeak was only just visible to her from this angle, the sight of the Hippogriff pulling back a little from the large axe that had been planted into the ground right in front of it making her snarl a little as that was just clear that the appeal that Hagrid was trying for was going to be turned down no matter what.
"Here comes Hermione… looks like she has something in her hands though." Harry says looking down at the brown haired girl had just slipped out of the back of Hagrid's hut a few moments before the Minister and Albus entered it her hands cupped in front of her holding something tightly, Harry learned forward a little and says when he pulled back in surprise. "She has that Weasley boy's rat that he claimed her cat ate by the looks of it."
Tonks shuddered at the comment about it being a rat in Hermione's hands as there was one thing she couldn't stand and that was Rats, mice she didn't care about but their bigger relatives just made her shudder no matter what.
The pair was getting ready to go meet the girl when suddenly there was a scream of rage from down near Hagrid's hut, the sight of Buckbeak running off into the forest being what greeted them, the chain having snapped when he pulled back on it sharply moments before the axe head came down.
"Nice work Harry." Tonks says softly turning to head towards the castle now Harry giving a evil sounding snigger at the cursing going on from Macnair at the fact that his axe was denied its kill, Hagrid nearly jumping for joy that his friend had broken the chain not knowing that a latter look at said chain by Albus would show that something small and sharp had hacked away at one of the links.
The pair had only taken a few steps when suddenly they heard a startled scream from over near the Whomping Willow both of them running as fast as they could towards the scream, the sight of Hermione huddled up under the tree holding Scabbers close to her chest while a large dog was slowly advancing on her, her own cat seating at the base of the tree next to her one paw pressed into a knot in the wood, stopping the tree from doing anything at the moment.
"Damn it all girl that rat is not worth your life." Tonks yelled out moving as quickly as she could, Harry pulling ahead easily but still missed the large dog when it jumped out of the way of his charge, Harry only just stopping from running into the tree itself.
Before either Tonks or Harry could make another move the large dog jumped forward and took a hold of Hermione's leg pulling her sharply into a hole that had been hidden from there angle of view, neither of them being able to do anything as Crookshanks had realised his paw from the knot in the tree bark and gone into the hole at the same time as Hermione was pulled in her scream of fear sounding like a death bell to them both.
"Damn it all." Tonks says sharply ducking to avoid one of the low swing branches of the Whomping Willow Harry jumping up over another branch and quickly moved back out of range of the tree Tonks only a few steps behind him as she started to curse up a storm. "Damn it, what in the name of Merlin is a dog going after a girl and a rat that should have died years ago."
"I don't know but I can say this much… that wasn't a normal dog, scent was way off, almost smelt like a human." Harry says looking at the hole in the base of the tree and the knot just above it that Crookshanks had been pressing.
Tonks looked down at Harry for that comment for a moment before her eyes widened a flash of a memory of one time her cousin had come to visit her and her mother the image of him changing into a large dog flashing before her eyes.
"Oh Merlin! That was Sirius taking Hermione!" Tonks exclaimed looking at the tree even taking a step forward only to back up quickly when one of the larger branches came crashing down and only just missed her. "Damn, can you use your powers or something to touch that knot in the wood then we can both get after them before he douse something to her."
Harry just nodded as he vanished from sight Tonks feeling him in her shadow for a moment before jumping so to speak to another one and then another more than likely, a few seconds later Tonks saw him coming up out of a small shadow being cast near the knot in the wood the whole tree going still a moment later.
"Clear." He called out looking down the hole from his angle, Tonks giving a nod and running forward restoring her body to its base form save her face which was the same shape as it always was in public although she did change her hair to a dark blue colour and her eyes to a pink colour as that was the colour of her eyes and hair the last time she remembered seeing Sirius.
Not even pausing to pat Harry on the head for a good job as they didn't know how long the tree would remained paused, Tonks dived down the hole head first doing a quick roll to be on her feet as she goes through wand up and ready for anything, the sight of a long tunnel being all that greeted her.
"Clear." She shouted back out of the hole Harry came jumping down a few seconds later shaking his head as he looked around looking up at Tonks to find out what to do next.
"We move on and keep our eyes and ears open. Also, I've always wondered what your vision is like in the dark?" Tonks says moving along slowly down the tunnel knowing that they had to move quickly but also carefully as there was no idea what Sirius might have laid down to take out anyone who got down this tunnel.
"The Darkness is my element Tonks; I'm faster stronger and have more endurance and stamina while in shadows and darkness and as to my vision I see in colours in the light but in darkness like this everything switches to shades of gray." Harry says moving ahead of Tonks a little to sniff out any possible traps and to also help guide her through the tunnel.
Tonks gave a nod at this and says with a cheeky smile on her face always keeping his tail just in sight while feeling one hand along the wall, "More endurances you say, I wonder if that would transfer over to your human form, could be handy in the bedroom,"
"Do you think you can keep up with me and willing to test that?" He says over his shoulder. Tonks had a feeling if he had eyebrows they would be wiggling suggestively.
"Not while you're in that form and not without a ring on my finger." Tonks says fighting back the blush at the image of a all night romp in her room with Harry in his human form if his endurance and stamina transferred over from his Animagus form.
"Well then I'll go ring shopping the moment I can change back." Harry says looking back down at the ground to spot traps again. He knew that when he returned to human form he would stand at her side no matter what others may say, she was his best friend and soul mate in his mind and couldn't picture another in her place.
'I'm not taking any ring from you until after a couple of dates Harry but I have a felling I could become the future Mrs. Potter… oh that is a nice thought, damn going to have to sort out another name people are going to have to call me besides my first name, I swear mother if I find out you were sniffing one of your potions when you named me I'm going to kill you.' Tonks thought to herself going into her own little world for a moment of beating her mother over her head with her own cauldron for naming her Nymphadora.
"Door up ahead." Harry called out softly after a few minutes the sight of stairs and a trapdoor being just ahead of them both Tonks giving a nod and a quick hand signal to show that it was silence from here on in, indicating her own shadow to show where she wanted him for the sweep of the building on the other side only to come out when she needed backup or to surprise her cousin.
Harry gave a small nod and vanished from sight Tonks rubbing her middle a moment later on the feeling of him settling down around her middle in her shadow, taking a breath and brought her wand up ready for anything Tonks moved up the stairs and with a quick spell had the trapdoor opening silently.
The inside of what had to be a house was totally trashed Tonks sweeping the room carefully wand always in front of her while she did a slow circle just in front of the trap door that was in the main hallway, taking a careful step forward she winced when a loud creek sounded from the floor board Tonks lowering her head at this but kept moving slowly making a note of the claw marks and other signs that a large animal had been turned losses in this building may times in the past.
"Hallway clear." She whispers softly as Harry couldn't read hand signals from his angle in her shadow at the moment, Tonks moving slowly and carefully to make sure she didn't make another sound turning slowly to look up the stairs and the second floor hearing low crying coming from up there at the moment.
Slowly walking up the stairs Tonks paused at the landing and looked around making a note of the light coming from under a door at the far enough of the hallway but she could have sworn she heard something moving around down the other hallway.
Bitting her lip for a second Tonks slowly headed towards the door with the low light coming from under it whispering softly to Harry to jump from her shadow the moment they entered the room and enter another shadow in case Sirius shot first and asked questions later, that way he could be able to take down her cousin allowing them to sort out this whole mess.
Getting to the door Tonks took a breath and then brought her foot up kicking the door open and moving forward in one quick move wand sweeping the room from left to right feeling Harry leave her shadow when her own crossed over another in the room the wolf Animagus no doubt waiting for a chance to ambush Sirius now.
The room like the rest of the house was trashed although the bed seating to one side looked like it had been repaired a little not too long ago Hermione being thrown onto it tied up and her own tie shoved into her mouth to stop her from crying out only her odd sob of fear sounding as she tried to get free, Crookshanks sitting calmly next to his mistresses side one paw holding the tail of Scabbers the rat doing everything it could to get away from the cat.
'Can we say trap.' Tonks thought to herself moving slowly into the room her eyes never remaining on one thing for long trying to spot Sirius trusting Harry to watch her back and help should she need it.
After doing a sweep of the room and not seeing anything Tonks went over to Hermione and pulled the girls school tie out of her mouth placing a finger on her own lips to show Hermione should be silent for now.
The girl just nods but kept on sweeping her eyes to a hole in the wall just behind Tonks the older woman's eyes widening in realising of what Hermione was trying to signal to her turning around sharply only to have her wand arm knocked to the side and a hand come around her neck squeezing tightly as Sirius finished stepping into the open having dived out of the hole in the wall in his dog form and changed mid jump to ambush Tonks.
"I didn't think an Auror would come after me by herself without some back up or waiting for backup as your little friend isn't with you." Sirius says pulling Tonks forward and looking at her as she took a hold of his arm and try and break his hold but despite a number of years in Azkaban he was still strong enough to hold her up a little.
Tonks just looked at Sirius with her free hand still gripping his arm that was holding her by the neck her other hand still out to the side with Sirius making sure she couldn't aim her wand at him, a small smile came over her face as she managed to say, "Who said I came here by myself."
Sirius just gave her a questioning look only to give a startled gasp when he felt his back leg pulled downwards sharply looking back in time to see his own foot vanish into the shadow he was standing on the sight of emerald green eyes looking out at him from that shadow making him realises that what he thought was a pet dog was so much more.
Tonks feeling the grip lessen a little quickly dropped her wand and in one fluent move brought a few fingers into the wrist of the hand holding her neck Sirius giving a gasp of pain as Tonks took a half step forward twisting his arm around and up behind his back as he turned to try and relive the presser on the arm only to find himself on his knees the large form of Harry standing before him teeth bared and ready to bite in a moment's notice the eyes clearly saying that he was upset with Sirius' treatment of Tonks.
"Hello Cousin, I have to say that that was a very nice way to greet me after so long apart, now be a good boy and don't move or threaten me again while SF here is in the room as he is very protective of me and won't take kindly to you man handling me again." Tonks says into Sirius' ear a smile on her face at the fact he stopped fighting her the moment she called him her cousin.
"Little Dora?" Sirius asks looking over his shoulder as best he could taking his eyes off the large wolf and what looked like very sharp fangs before his face long enough to see Tonks' pink eyes and dark blue hair a little smile forming on his face at her. "It is you little Dora, look at you all grown up and a fully trained Auror complete with a magical animal as a pet."
Tonks winced at this as Harry's head pulled back sharply at Sirius words, shaking her head as Harry snapped off at Sirius making him look back at him in surprise. "Who are you calling a pet you flea bitten inbred mutt."
Sirius looked at Harry for a moment while Tonks fought back a laugh as when Harry got started on the whole 'I'm not an animal I'm human' rant it would take a while or something major to get him out of it, Hermione not helping but giggle a little at how shocked Sirius the mass murder looked at the wolf snapping at him.
"Well sorry but I thought you were a magical dog or something so sorry, good sir," Sirius says with a smile Harry just giving him a snort and moving over to Hermione's side concentrating for a moment as one of the shadows rose up and formed a blade which quickly cut through the rope that had been used to tie Hermione's hands.
Getting back to Tonks' side Harry looked Sirius over looking up at her not paying Hermione any mind as she moved to the other side of the room so that she wasn't as close to Sirius as she had been, Crookshanks still seating there calmly not letting anyone near the rat he had under his paw.
"Say Dora dear, you wouldn't be willing to let go of my arm as its clear I'm not armed and your friend here isn't likely let me do anything to you." Sirius asks wincing slightly when Tonks just pulled up on the arm she had in her grip.
"My name is Trainee Tonks to you dear cousin, or it is until I get you to Madam Bones who wants to talk to you about the fact that you have no trial listed on your file, also my partner is Shadow Fang to you." Tonks says with a slightly evil smile as in her mind this was her way of paying him back for all those pranks he pulled on her when she was little.
"Only a trainee still." Sirius says the smile that had formed on his face at this information vanishing quickly however when Tonks pulled on the arm again Harry giving a snigger from just behind Tonks Hermione doing the same once again moving a little closer to Tonks as it was clear Sirius wasn't going anywhere.
However before anyone could do anything else Tonks was hit in the side by a spell that sent her flying onto the bed Crookshanks jumping off with the rat in his jaws now, Harry turned sharply to see Remus in the doorway wand out and pointed right at Sirius now not paying Tonks any mind his eyes however where watching Harry closely.
"Where is the real traitor Sirius as I saw his name on the map when I was doing a sweep of it not too long ago and also Tonks don't move as that spell was a standard banishing spell but I didn't expect you to go flying into the bed so you might have injured something on impact." Remus says moving his wand to point at Harry who had lowered himself into a pouncing like posture.
"I'll look the other way for that assault on me Remus if you drop that wand right this minute and back away as Sirius is coming with me to see Madam Bones one way or the other." Tonks says getting to her feet slowly feeling the muscles along her side that the spell hit act up a little as it was clear she was going to have a large bruise or something on that side by morning.
"I can't do that Tonks as if you take Sirius your boss is just going to hand him over to the Dementors and if the map is right then the real traitor to the Potters is in this room and your partner might get his chances to avenge his parents." Remus says looking down at Harry with a knowing look.
"What do you mean he might get to avenge his parents Moony?" Sirius says getting up and looking at the other three people in the room all three moving closer together Harry in front of the girls while Tonks was just in front of Hermione who was looking at Remus as if he had betrayed her trust.
"What was Lily Animagus form old friend?" Remus asks with a knowing smile Sirius taking a few moments to think on this before his eyes widening looking down at Harry and just looks at him looking at Remus and then back again.
"That's an Alpha level secret Remus to reveal it to anyone is to see a number of years in Azkaban so don't say a word about Shadow Fang's real name." Tonks snapped off moving to stand at Harry's side bringing her arm up sharply as her wand that had been lying on the floor unnoticed until now came flicking up to her hand.
"It doesn't matter much at the moment Tonks as Sirius has already worked out who your partner really is and Hermione is smart enough to work it out herself in a few moments." Remus says moving his wand to point at Tonks narrowing his eyes a little at her as he says after a few seconds of the two groups standing off Crookshanks just sating between the two groups the rat once again trapped under one paw. "Drop the wand Tonks, you might have Auror training but I have years of experiences on you."
Tonks just smiled as she gives a small nod and then throws her wand up into the air Remus watching its path closely only to look sharply behind him when Sirius gave a cry of warning Harry coming up out of his shadow after sinking into Tonks one a few seconds before hand.
Thinking on his feet Remus cast the most powerful light spell he know a small smile on his face when Harry was thrown backwards when the spell was cast the light acting like a wall on Harry stopping him dead in his tracks but he had an evil looking smile that showed a lot of teeth on his face as suddenly the shadow at Remus' feet rose up and grasped him like a hand pinning his arms at his side and concealing the spell.
"You have experience alright Werewolf but she has one hell of a partner and friend in Shadow Fang." Hermione says with a smile as Remus tried to break free from the shadow that was holding him another one rising up and capturing Sirius as Harry just sniggered and Tonks pulled her arm back again to catch her wand.
"For assaulting an Auror Remus I have to charge you with a two hundred Galleons fine or two months in Azkaban your choice when we get out of here, but first what is this about the real traitor being here and where is he?" Tonks says moving up to the two bound men waving her wand to make ropes appear on them both so that Harry could relax his power.
Sirius was about to answer her when Harry was hit in the back by a stunning spell going down without a sound Tonks turning sharply to the doorway to see Snape there now his wand moving to her a sneer on his face as he just looked at her as if challenging her to dare fire a spell on him.
"So are you going to fire a spell on me girl or should I put you down like I did that mutt of yours." Snape snarled out taking a step forward, Hermione moving to hide behind Tonks while Tonks just narrowed her eyes and kept her wand pointed at the potion master.
Tonks narrowed her eyes even more as she went over in her head what to do as Snape had attacked Harry and as such that was the same as Remus had attacked her, it also meant that she was in her full rights to attack him and bring him in for assault and obstruction of justice.
"I'm going to give you the count of ten to leave this place otherwise I'm going to bring you in for assault of an Auror and also obstructing an Auror while arresting a suspect." Tonks says taking a step forward wand always pointed at the potion master.
"You don't scare me girl, now stand aside so that I can hand Black over to the Dementors and enjoy the show of them sucking out his soul." Snape snapped out only to be pulled backwards into a shadow an evil sounding howl of anger and a promise of pain sounding a moment later as everyone looked to were Harry had been laid out only to see that he was missing.
Tonks just smiled as Harry came out of her shadow a moment later a evil look on his face going by how the lips were pulled up to show his full set of fangs as he looked up at her and says calmly, "I've left him to think on his mistake of attacking me and not making sure I'm out, I hear that the Shadow Plain is lovely this time of year."
"Oh Merlin those things will rip him apart if what happened to that diary the other year is any indication you better get him back now." Tonks says sharply Harry just looking at her and sighing rolling his eyes as he vanished again.
"Does he have to bring that slim ball back?" Sirius asks from his place on the floor Remus nodding in agreement even Hermione a little as everyone in the room hated the man with a passion, Tonks not even answering the question when Snape came back into the room falling over to show that he was out cold, blood dripping from many cuts and teeth marks on his body Harry looking rather pleased with himself.
"They had just started to work out that his fingers could be cut off when I showed up, but his still all here mostly I think he might be missing a toe or something but otherwise he's fine." Harry says with his evil smile still in place moving over to Tonks side once again looking at Sirius and Remus "Now then you were going to tell us who the real traitor was for the death of the Potters."
Sirius didn't waste a moment as he started to tell everyone about how he and James had been able to talk Lily into swapping Secret Keepers and make Peter the Secret Keeper, he told them of his mad hunt for the rat that lasted a few days and how he was thrown into Azkaban without a trial when the rat blow up the street and left him to hang, he didn't miss a thing out telling them everything he could remember and his reasons for just about all of the mistakes he had made that night so long ago.
When he finished talking Hermione says softly looking at the rat that was still trying to get away from her cat to one side. "So what your sayings that this rat here is Peter as like you and Mr. Potter in school become Animagus to be with Professor Lupin here on the nights of the full moon."
"That's pretty much it Miss. Granger, we also made a map that showed the location of everyone and that was how I spotted you Miss. Granger coming back from Hagrid's hut and the fact that you had one extra body with you." Remus says looking up at Tonks after he finished offering his arms and asking softly, "Could we be untied now and sort all of this out back in Hogwarts?"
"You can be as I need an extra pair of hands to carry him back," Tonks finished by pointing her wand at Snape's body before saying looking down at her cousin "Sirius I'm sorry to say you're staying tied up until I hand you over to Madam Bones along with that rat… SF mind getting that thing for me and dropping him in this cage." Tonks says trying not to look at the rat as she waved her wand and made a nice little cage that wouldn't be breaking any time soon.
"Don't like rats Tonks?" Hermione asks staying close to Tonks for now as she still didn't trust Sirius or Remus now really Harry just taking the rat in his jaws and moving to Tonks side dropping it into the cage Hermione kicking the lead shut.
"Not really, anyway Remus if you have Snape and we are all ready to go let's get moving." Tonks says leading the way with Hermione next to her behind the pair was Sirius, Harry and Remus with a floating Snape bringing up the rear.
The odd group made its way quickly through the tunnel and were soon back on Hogwarts grounds Tonks pushing Sirius a head of her once they were all out of range of the Willow, Remus moving to follow his friend only to stop dead in his tracks his eyes looking towards the sky as he felt the call of the moon raising.
"Ah, damn it, not now." Tonks says quickly pulling Hermione and Sirius behind her a wave of the wand had Snape behind the group and half way towards the castle at the force of the throw Harry however jumped in front of her and just snarled a challenge at the changing Werewolf before the group.
"Dora let me go there is no way Harry can take on a Werewolf by himself and live through it no matter what spells he can cast in his Animagus form." Sirius says sharply trying to move past Tonks only to be stopped by Hermione pointing a wand at him not showing any surprise at the real name of Shadow Fang as like Remus said she worked it out without a problem. Tonks moving backwards making sure she was always between the Werewolf and the others.
"His more skilled then you think Sirius and also don't tell anyone you know his real name if you are cleared now move to the castle now… Harry you going to be able to handle him on your own?" Tonks finished by calling out wand moving to the now fully transformed Remus who was returning the challenge snarl with one of his own at Harry.
"The night is my element Tonks dear and I'm not going to lose to some half breed mutt." Harry snarled back the shadows themselves seeming to pulse with power all around him as they rose up and seemed to reshape all around some into long spear like shapes other into a hammers and a few even looked like lengths of chain.
"Good luck then and I'll see you back in our rooms when you have him under control." Tonks says quickly heading for the castle everyone else moving ahead of her not even looking back when twin howls sounded out in the darkness.
Remus' wolfish side just looked at the wolf before him that dared to challenge him, didn't it realise that he was older and as such it should bow before him and let him decide what to do with those humans that were moving away but instead it stood before him and dared challenge him.
Harry just stood there looking at the Werewolf with narrowed eyes a mental command later had all of the lances of shadow shooting forward slamming in to the group all around them forming a perfect dome of darkness around the pair.
"A battle in the darkness this night Remus, can you track something that uses these very shadows to attack or are you destined to fall this night." Harry called out as he vanished into the darkness the Werewolf sniffing the air wildly trying to catch Harry's scent before he attacked next.
He turned quickly and brought a clawed hand down sharply connecting with a shadow shaped into a hammer sending it into the group and stopping it from hitting him a small growl being the only sign that he was happy with himself at stopping the surprise attack the growl turning into one of pain a moment later however when Harry himself jumped out of nowhere and landing on his back jaws locking around the back of his neck and hanging on as Remus tried to throw him off.
Giving a loud snarl Remus brought one clawed hand up and got a good hold of the back of Harry's neck and with a show of strength that any weight lifter would be green with envy of pulled the Shadow Wolf off his back not paying the large teeth marks he left in his wake any mind as he throw Harry off to one side and charged forward before he even landed punching him in the side when he got even with him a few seconds later.
Harry gave a gasp of pain as the air was punched out of his lungs on that one move melting down into the shadows before Remus could give another attack of that strength his command over the shadows coming into play again as lances of darkness and even a few sets of chains came out of the dome that surrounded them Remus showing that a Werewolf was a lot more than just physical strong as he jumped and weaved around many of the attacks his clawed hands catching a set of chains that tried to wrap around him and throwing them off to one side the chains melting into a fine mist before they even made it halfway across the field.
Giving a dismissing snort at the weak attacks Remus was about to go smash his fist through the dome that was keeping him and Harry there planning on entering the castle and laying claim to Tonks as his acting on the slightly lustful thoughts of his human side on the young Auror. He had only taken a few steps when suddenly Harry stepped out before him the challenging look still in his eyes.
"Where do you think your heading I'm not finish with you yet." Harry snarled out his fur standing on end as more and more shadows rose up all around him shaping into weapons once again the Werewolf before him just giving an evil looking smile as it brought is clawed hands up and beckoned Harry on. "Don't underestimate me!"
Remus just snorted again as lance after lance and a few other weapons came flying at him from all sides Harry himself charging forward and shaping a quick ramp before him so that when he jumped forward he was going to hit square in the chest area. Remus ducking under and weaving around many of the attacks getting back up in time to take Harry in the chest his arms wrapping around the black wolf and starting to squeeze with all his might Harry howling out in pain and started to bit and rip into Remus chest with his smaller claws to get out of the death grip.
Harry winced in pain and even gave a low whimper when Remus dug his clawed finger tips into his side the look in his eyes however didn't change while Remus' went to one of blood lust as Harry's blood started to seep out through the claw marks in his side. 'Not here and not like this, I made a promise to Tonks and I'm going to keep it.' Harry thought as the dome started to fall all around them the shadow it was made out of reshaping and plunging inwards towards the pair Harry looking the Werewolf right in the eyes as this happened.
"Let's go for a little trip and meet some of my friends." Harry snarled out as both he and Remus sank into the shadows that had pooled all around them after the last of them slammed into the ground and made a large lake like pool of blackness all around them.
Within a few seconds the pair found themselves in the Shadow Plain Harry bitting into Remus' exposed neck as he looked around wildly at all of the creatures of this Plain some even coming forward at the smell of blood and even fear from Remus.
Remus quickly looked back at Harry and brought one hand up to take him by the back of the neck to try and pull him away before he got too good a grip Harry digging his back claws into Remus' unprotected belly as on this level of the Shadow Plain the Shadow Wolf was nearly at the top of the food chain as such he only grow in strength with ever second they remained here.
Giving a howl of pain at the feeling of the teeth leaving his neck Remus finally managed to get one hand up to Harry's lower jaw and pulled it back from his own neck pulled the Shadow Wolf from his neck fully a moment later and throwing him away only to realise that was a mistake as one of the large humanoid shapes charged forward one long hand that the fingers looked like blade digging into his side making him howl in pain.
Harry shook his head to clear the spots before his eyes looking up at Remus who was trying to fight off one of the most powerful creatures of this plain the Nightwalker the huge humanoid shape was void of all features save the fact that it was human in shape over nine feet tall and had a pair of blue glowing eyes.
Jumping forward Harry slamming into Remus chest the Nightwalker letting go of its pray the moment Harry made contact the Shadow Wolf quickly locked its jaws once again around Remus' neck and then pulled them both back to the normal world the moon light soon hitting them both as he jumped off the now wounded and barely concusses Werewolf.
"I win…" Harry gasps out as Remus tried getting up but was quickly pushed back down by the chains made out of the shadow of the Willow as the pair had come back closer to the tree then they had been when the match started.
"Nice to see you can take on a Werewolf and come out on top Harry now come along and let's get your injures treated and back to your partner's side before she panics any more then she has." The voice of Amelia Bones came all of a sudden from near Hagrid's hut a cup of tea in hand as she moved towards him finishing her cup as she goes watching as Harry finished binding Remus and then slowly moved towards her limping slightly on ever step but otherwise he was walking fine.
"How long have we been at it?" Harry gasps out trying to catch his breath moving to Amelia's side as she cast a few spells to bind Remus until the sunrise the pair making their way towards the school a few minutes after that.
Amelia looked at her wrist and says after counting the minutes, "Well I came up from Hogsmeade about ten minutes ago and I did see that dome you had up around the pair of you go down five minutes after that then you both appeared not long after vanishing so I would say a total of about twenty minutes give or take you two have been fighting it out."
"That all; I could have gone another five minutes." Harry says trying to salvage a little of his pride as he know that he wouldn't have lasted much longer against the full grown Werewolf and even then, he technically didn't win as the Nightwalker had weakened Remus a lot with that single attack as the touch of one of those things could weaken a dragon to that of a normal human.
Amelia didn't look to impressed with his bravado and just sighed pointing at her shadow when Harry stumbled a little on a rock, "You can hitch a ride and we'll go get your injures treated." Amelia finished with a small nod as Harry went into her shadow the middle aged woman quickening her step to get to the Hospital wing that much quicker knowing that soon she would be helping her favourite trainee out with her cousin and that justice would be seen this night one way or the other.

Information
Despite her young age Hermione Granger has proven to be one of the brightest witches to ever enter Hogwarts and has yet to fail anything that is put to her. Although she started out with very few to no friends in Hogwarts thanks to the kindness of Trainee Tonks and her partner Shadow Fang though she now has good friends in her dorm mates and also most of Gryffindor house.
Her intelligences and skill with a wand make her one of the best in Hogwarts at this time and may even be one of the most knowledgably witches in the Wizarding World when she leaves and enters the working world. Her bossy attitude might prove to be a problem though, although she is starting to loosen up and not quote everything from a book and drive information into everyone's face.
Has had a loving family life and is very close to her parents and other relatives Hermione will go to any length to help her family and friends and is always speaking of equal rights between the Wizarding world and the other races.
