THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (Ending scene of book three, Scabbers runs to the womping willow)
Out side the entrance to Hogwarts, Maru, Hermione, Chandra walk outside of castle. Maru grimaced at the recent news he had just heard. "This is just great." He said. His angry tone showed in his voice. " I can't believe Vincent, of all people would betray Harry's dad. And worse of all he helped Voldermort kill his parents." "Maru, please calm down." Hermione said. " How can I? I looked up to him. He was a Legend in Spira. I was even lucky to fight by his side when I was at Nebliheim…But now…" he clenched his fist trying to suppress an outbreak of rage. Chandra touched his shoulder lightly "Maru, It's okay." she said softly. " It's been a rough day for all of us. We know how you feel." Maru anger slowly began to dissipate. He glanced at Hermione and Chandra. She was right. Other than finding out that the reason why Vincent was locked away at Azkaban was because he had killed Peter Pettigrew and helped Voldermort, Hagrid's very first Moogle, Pudgy was sentence to be killed for assaulting a Student, Draco Malfoy. However, Hermione and Maru know for the fact that Moogles are absolutely harmless and that Draco Malfoy faked his injury to get Pudgy in trouble. Furthermore, Draco's father made the court case on Hagrid's Moogle to his favor by sweet talking witnesses with his money.
Maru took a deep breath to calm him self. " Yeah. How's Hagrid doing?" He asked Hermione. She shook her head. "Not so good. He's been crying for hours in his hut. He hasn't come out ever sense. Pudgy's been locked away out of his reach also. So he won't be able to say good-bye when he's…" she stopped to hold her tears, trying to pull her self back together. "Tch! The mud blood is crying over a pathetic Moogle." Said a voice. It was Malfoy, walking towards them with Crab and Goyle. "That thing deserved to die anything. I wouldn't let that filthy creature from Spira alive here." Hermione snapped pulling out her wand and Storming towards Malfoy. "YOU MONSTER!" she yelled jamming her wand at his neck. Draco backed up towards the walls of Hogwarts. "HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO SOMETHING SO INNOCENT?! EVEN IF IT IS FROM SPIRA!" Hermione's wand was inches away from Malfoy's face. Malfoy stood there, plastered to wall. He was quivering in fear. "Hermione, don't do it." Maru said. " He's not worth it." Hermione stood there. Her wand held firmly pointed at Malfoy. "Go ahead, you mud blood. I dare you." Malfoy taunted hiding his Frightened stated. Hermione was silent still aiming her wand at him. Then she lowered her wand. Slowly walking away from Malfoy. "Stupid Mud blood." Malfoy muttered under her breathe. And instantly Hermione snapped back to Malfoy land a full blown punch to his cheek. Malfoy Went down from the punch, groaning from the pain that erupted from his cheek. "that felt good." Hermione said to her self. Draco scrambled on to his feet as crab and goyle helped him up. " what are you doing you idiots? get her!" he commanded. " I'm not having a girl punch me and getting away from it." "really? then why do you need 2 guys to do your work for you?" chandra retorted at Malfoy. Crab and Goyle stopped for a second, pondering what chandra just said. " she has a point." crab said after a minute of thinking. "yeah, Why do we have to do your dirty work for you? why can't you do it yourself?" Goyle asked Malfoy as he turned to him. "because, I'm much smarter, better, and I told you to do it! Now get her!" Draco demanded. They stared at each other with blank expressions as if they were completely confuse at the situation. " well, It does make Since." Crab said. as they went at her. By this time, Maru had already activated his dress sphere. he body glowed as he charged at crab before he could attack Hermione. he then connected a strong punch right at his face, cause crab to stagger backwards a bit.
When the aura diminished from around his body. It reveal Maru's new attire. He was now like a beast. yellow Hair grew wildly at his wrist, feet, head, and shoulders. Claws extended from his hands and feet And a horn appear on Maru's Forehead. his ears now represented wolf ears. He was in his beserker form. He growled at Crab and goyle, revealing his new sharp teeth. " I suggest you leave, Now." he said following it with a animal's snarled. Crab and goyle ran, afraid of Maru. "what? hey! where are you going? HE'S NOTHING BUT AN OVER SIZED MUTT! GET BACK HERE YOU COWARDS!" he yelled at them. he turned around to confront them again, but didn't noticed that Maru had walked up to him. he was not right in front of his face, Snarling and growling at him. " Who are you you calling a mutt, DRACO!" Maru said in his new beastly voice which shatter all of Malfoy's courage that he had left. Hermione and Chandra saw a wet spot grow on his pants. " Hermione, I think Draco just wet himself." Chandra whispered to her. they both tried to hold back giggles. "uh...w-w-well y-you see...um y-y-you know." Malfoy stuttered unable to make words. Maru pressed moved his face towards Malfoy's making him more uncomfortable. "please don't eat me." he begged in such a meek tone. Maru glared at him with his new beast eyes. then he spoke finally. "boo!" Malfoy panicked screaming like a little girl as he tried to ran away. however, he didn't look where he was going and ran straight into a wall that he was near. he scrambled up to his feet. "GUYS! WAIT FOR ME!" he screamed running away from him. Maru got on his hand and feet as if he was a real wolf. He glance at Hermione and Chandra, giving them a fanged Smile. "should I go after them just for the hell of it?" He said. " no. I think they learned their lesson." hermione said.
"SCABBERS! SCABBERS COME BACK HERE!" a voice called out. it was ron running out of hogwarts with Harry, Rushing after a rat which bolted out the entrance and into the fields. " Hermione! Chandra! CATCH THAT RAT!" harry yelled. they all went after it as it ran off into the grassy area of the field. "why didn't you keep a hold of it, Ron?" Hermione said. " I did. But Scabbers has been acting wierd. He bit me all the sudden and now he's running off for no aparent reason." Ron replied. Maru joined up with then, moving swiftly on his hands and feet like a wolf. He rushed up to him trying to catch Scabbers but could seem to get to him. he was too small. Ron and harry looked at him shocked at Maru's Appearance. " Bloody hell." Ron said. "it's The beserker form dress sphere. this one gives you an abilities of a beast." hermione explain. " you really spend too much time with books." ron said. they all helped Maru capture scabbers. But in the end they couldn't trap in and he escaped. "oh great. where did he go now?" Ron groaned as he looked around hoping to spot scabbers. " well, he must've not got far. Maybe we can still catch him." Harry said. " look around you. this field is enourmous. Do you know how hard it is to find a little rat here?" Ron complained. then Maru got an Idea. "ron. do you have anything Scabbers has been in for a long period of time? you know like a pocket or a shirt?" he said. " I usually keep him inside my left pocket here why?" Ron said. "open it. I want to see it for a second." Ron does what he says and opens his pocket as Maru walked up towards it. he then started to sniff his pocket searching for Scabber's scent. " this is really akward." Harry said. After several moments, Maru finally stopped. " I got the scent." he said running down the field. "wow. we now have a dog." ron said. They all followed him as he ran past the hills to other side of Hogwarts.
Maru led them nearby the womping willow tree which stood their sleeping. Maru sniff around for Scabber's scent. " I know he's around here somewhere." he said. keeping his face low to the ground. "come on boy. you can do it. get Scabbers scent." Ron said. Maru stopped staring at him. "please?" " just because I act alittle bit like one doesn't mean you can treat me like one." Maru said. " aww. But you could make a good dog." Chandra teased. Maru just rolled his eyes and continued sniffing the ground. " he has to be here right? now where could he be?" ron said searching near the womping willow. There was still no sign of Scabbers anywhere. Ron searched closer towards the trunk of the womping willow. But then he heard a faint growling. "Maru, are you growling at Draco again?" he said " what? I'm not doing anything." maru said. He was away from the tree, still sniffing around for his scent. but as he glance at Ron he noticed 2 red orbs that glowed with in an opening inside the tree. They were eyes. "Ron. BEHIND YOU!" he called out. Ron turned around and noticed the eyes that glared at him as he started to back away. Then suddenly, a black wolf jumped out of the darkness pinning him down. "RON!" Harry and Hermione yelled out as Ron was then being dragged by the black wolf in to the dark void. Maru dashed at him, lunging at the wolf. But before he could get in reach, a giant branch slammed in front of him, blocking him from Ron. On reflex, he jumped back. The Womping willow tree started to slowly move, swinging it's branching. " I think we woke up the Womping willow." Hermione said as all four of them stood back from the tree. It swung violent at them with its long branches. Maru, Harry, and Chandra ducked. But Hermione was swept away from one of the branches. She held on desperately, not wanting to fall down. She screamed at the top of her lungs. "Damn." Maru Cursed to himself. He dashes towards the tree, swiftly climbing it with his new animalistic Agility. But the Willow saw his attempt and smacked him down with one of his branches. Harry and Chandra tried to duck for cover. but they were instantly swept up by the branches of the tree. It shook and swung around madly, jerking the 3 all over in the air. Maru got up again, shaking off the blow that was just stuck to him. "Hang on, Guys. I'm coming." He called out to him. Suddenly, Hermione looked at the opening that Ron was dragged into. "Wait, no! Don't get us. We'll be okay!" she called back. "What are you talking about? We're going to die!" Chandra yelled at her. "It's okay! Trust me! Just do what I do!" Hermione said and ask the willow jerk her around in the air, she jumped. Maru was about to catch her but she fell inside the small opening. Maru followed after her, dodging a blow from the Tree. Soon after, Chandra jumped followed by Harry. They both free felled in to the opening and into the dark unknown.
Chandra and Harry then found them selves into a secret room of some sort. The floor and walls were made of wood. The roots of the Womping will sprouted from floor. The opening served as a window that shed some light into the room along with a few other holes in the walls. " So, the Womping Willow was actually guarding something." Chandra said. "The only question is what." Harry said looking around in the area. They both got up, walking around the room. Then they heard a small grunt. It was Ron. They followed the voice to Hermione and Maru, who were gathered around Ron. His leg had a gash on his lower leg and was bleed. "Ron, are you all right?" Harry said. " Yeah, I'm alright." Ron said grunting in pain as he tried to move. Hermione stopped him. "Keep still, you're badly wounded. We need to get you to madam Pomfrey." She said. Ron stopped moving after a moment. " Ron, who did this to you?" Chandra asked. Before Ron could speak he suddenly went pale as if he was seeing a ghost. He stared off behind them. " What's wrong?" "B-behind you! H-HE DID IT!" he said pointed. They all turned around and Maru automatically knew whom it was. Behind the five of them was Vincent Valentine himself. His blood cape hid is torso. His long black hair covered half of his face as he stared upon the five. His left arm was made out a golden metal and was dangling on the side. He stood there walking slowly towards them. Then he raised he right hand, which was hold his handgun: Cerberus. "EXPELLERIUS!" Harry shouted pointing his wand at him. Vincent's gun flashed, forcing him to drop the gun. In a instant, Maru Charged into him knocking him down and growling at him. Harry stood next to him still aiming his wand at him. Maru pinned him down getting ready to strike him. " YOU! HOW COULD YOU?! YOU BETRAYED ALL OF SPIRA AND HARRY! YOU…" " RITACEMPRA!" A voice cried and instantly a jet of silver energy blasted Maru off Vincent. Harry and looked out over to who had cast the spell. It was Lupin. He had came inside by a secret door way which what now visible to every one. " Lupin?" Harry said in confusion. He pointed his wand towards him. But Lupin was quicker. " EXPELLERIUS!" He said which disarmed him. Chandra and Hermione reveal. But Vincent had grabbed his gun as they aimed at Lupin. " EXPELLER…!" BANG! Vincent fired at their wands breaking them as the bullet snapped them in half. The barrel of Cerberus was now smoking. Vincent kept his aimed at the four. He started to get up, smirking at them. " It's been a while, Vincent." Lupin said. "Yeah… I've been a little locked up lately." Vincent replied. He walked towards him embracing each other as if they were brothers. " Lupin no. You're with this Murderer?" Chandra said in disbelief. Maru got up. His temper flared from the sight of Vincent. " YOU TRAITOR!" He snarled at him. " It's not what it seem, Maru. Vincent and I are on your side." Lupin said. " What do you mean on our side. You're helping a criminal." Harry said. " It's not what it seems. Now let me explain." " NOT WHAT IT SEEMS?! THEN WHY ARE YOU HELPING HIM! " Maru snarled again. "Maru, calm down. We are your side." Lupin said not raising his voice. He dropped his wand on the ground. Vincent opened his cape, stripping away his handgun, machine gun, rifle, and his Materia from him. They pushed them in front of them. "There. Now you are armed with our weapons. Now may I explain?" Maru simmered down. Growling at a very soft tone to him self. "Yes. How do you know him?" Harry said.
Lupin paced a bit before speaking. " Harry, you must be familiar with the death of your parents by voldermort. Correct?" Harry nodded. " I knew father very well. So did Vincent here. Even though Vincent never went to school here. He had a job as a body guard for a scientist name Lucretia. But we would be able to see him often. I remembered when I was attacked by that werewolf, Vincent and James were there to comfort me when I was...changed." "you're a werewolf, aren't you?" Harry said. "that explains the sphere when you you faced the boggart. you fear the moon the most because you change in to a werewolf." Hermione said. " right you are, Hermione. you were always such a smart girl. You must have the same fear too, Chandra." Lupin said. Chandra nodded. she was a werewolf too. but only Maru and other 3 knew about this. the rest of hogwart know nothing about that. " Yes. If it weren't for my friends Vincent, Peter, and James, I wouldn't know what I would do. I would maybe commit suicide. But both James and peter secret became animaguses and on the night that I would change, they would change with me. Although it was illegally registered, we pulled it off with out getting caught at all. We couldn't do it to vincent at all though." he paused for a moment. " Then, we heard about Voldermort. Voldermort tried relentlessly to find your parents and kill them. And he stopped at nothing to fullfil that. I was such good friends with james. I couldn't let him get killed by that fiend. So we thought of a plan to keep James and his wife Lily concealed from Voldermort grasp. And to Protect him with we would bestow upon one of us the information and that person would be the keeper. It was a charm that I knew well and was meant to be fool proof." " At first, I was to be the keeper." Vincent said " at the time, I was what you people called a muggle. I was too weak to use Materia or any spells at all. The only thing that really stood out was my Marksmanship." He glanced at Cerburus which was right by Harry's foot. " No one would have expect a Muggle to be the keeper. it was perfect. But then, I heard some news back at the lab that I used to work at. My father, who had been working with Lucretia had been severely injured by a freak accident. Not knowing about when Lupin was going to cast the spell, I left to see what happened. By the time I got there, he had died. And Lupin had choosed Peter pettigrew as the Keeper. I didn't find out until several months later, after the experiments that I did for Lucretia. Except I was their test subject." Maru knew that way too well. It was the reason he was why he looks like right now. " when I got in touch with Lupin again, he told me all about who was the keeper. A day later, I heard that the infor about James slipped. Voldermort some how found out. I didn't believe it at first. Until, I found Peter Pettigrew Betrayed us and told him where to find James." " so...that why you killed him?" Ron asked. Vincent grimaced. his golden fist was clenched in a fist. " I wish I did when I had that chance to pull that trigger." He said. "what? you didn't kill Peter?" Hermione said. " No. He was framed for that." Lupin said. " in fact, he is still alive in this very room." "In this very room? where?" Chandra said. "he's not the only one." Vincent said.
Suddenly appearing from thing air was Snape. he appeared behind Lupin automatically pointing his wand towards him. In the other hand, Harry could see that he had His father's invisibility cloak. "severus." Vincent said calmly. " Well, I wouldn't have thought of you being so stupid as to come back to the school for Harry." Snape said. " and you, Lupin. helping him hide out near by the walls of hogwarts. I shouldn't have known not to trust you." " Severus, it's not..." Lupin said but was cut off Snape. " I do not want to hear your lies, Lupin. Unlike the children I am not easily brain washed by such things. I must say. It was absolutely foolish of you to disarm your self of your weapons in front of them." "Severus, if you please..." " INCARCEROUS!" snape pronounced as snake like cords sprung from the tip of his wand entangling and tying up lupin. Vincent went for his aid but Snape pointed his wand to him next. " do not try to help him, Murderer. You'll be happy to know that when I turn you in, you'll be glad to recieve a special kiss from one of the death eater. I'll be taking the children thank you." " Professor, none of them are evil." Hermione said defending them. " stay out of this Ms. Granger. You know nothing of this situation." " She's right. Vincent was framed." " Be silent, Maru. I will not hear anything about this. Now come with me." " we are not going anywhere." Harry stated in a firm voice. Snaped glared at him. " Harry. you do not have to be like this deliquint. There is still hope for you ironically. now come with me." Snape said. Harry stood firm not budging from where he stand. Still pointing his wand at Vincent, Snape approach Harry. " Harry you will now come with me!" he said grabbing for him. Before he could touch him, Harry tried to grabbed for his wand but instead grabbed Vincent's handgun and with out thinking twice, he pulled the triggered. A burst of thunder sparked out of the 3 barrels of the guns as Electricity blasted Snape, launching him into the ceiling of the room. he fell with a big thud. " Harry...what did you do?" Hermione said shocked at the fact that snape was now knocked out on the floor from the charge of Electricity. " did...did you just killed him?" Ron asked. Vincent smirked. " Nope. just knocked him out. I got say though. Nice shot kid." he said. Maru walked up to harry taking the gun from him. " Rule #1 when using a gun." he flip the gun around and at the bottom of the handle was green glowing Materia stone. " even if the gun's out of bullets, it's still dangerous. You're just lucky you him with a Thunder spell and not actual bullet. then you'll have to deal with the fact that you just killed someone." he said. Harry nodded then ran to aid Lupin. He untied him. "OW! SCABBERS!" Ron yelled as scabbers bit his finger and ran out of his pocket. Vincent and Lupin saw the rat run as fast as it could across the room.
