Okay everyone here is where you find out whats wrong with Harry. And if there are any fans of the CW show Supernatural i just posted the first chapter to a fic i'm writing based on the show.

"Cursed?" Hermione asked, "What kind of curse can alter someone's personality so drastically?"
"Well" Said Remus pulling a piece of parchment out of his robes. "Dumbledore found this on Draco Malfoy when he was arrested. I'm not sure it it's in Spanish or Italian. It says: da accendere a buio da ottimoa male cambiamento adesso."
Hermione took the parchment from him. "I think it's Italian."
"It is Italian." Constance agreed.
Severus nodded. "It's a spell. Translated it says:
From Light To Dark
From Very Good To Evil
Change Now"
"I've never heard of a spell like that before. Aren't most spells in Latin?" Hermione asked.
"That's the first thing I thought." Remus agreed
"This particular spell is homemade. The problem is if it's homemade the only person who would have the counter curse is the spells creator."
"You think Draco created that spell?" Severus asked with a skeptical look.
"Well he had the spell on him." Remus said.
"Having the spell on him only means that he cast the curse not that he created it." Constance rolled her eyes.
"I bet you anything that this curse is a Lucius Malfoy creation." Severus said.
"But Lucius Malfoy is dead." Remus said. "He was killed months before the final battle."
Constance again rolled her eyes. "Remus I swear if you were any slower you would be going backwards. Yes Lucius Malfoy is dead. But upon his death all of his belongings including spell books went to his heir. His heir is, wait for it, Draco Malfoy!" she gasped in mock surprise.
Remus looked at her with a look of annoyance. "Must you be such a bitch?"
"To you yes." Constance nodded.
"Would you two knock it the bloody hell off." Severus snapped.
Remus and Constance stopped bickering but continued to glare at each other.
"Not that you two are acting your age…somewhat. What do we do to fix this?" Hermione asked.
"You are not going to do anything your six months pregnant." Severus told Hermione.
"He's my friend, I can't just abandon him."
Severus sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "Hermione think about it this way. If Harry was in his right state of mind would he want you putting yourself and our baby on the line to save him?"
Hermione mumbled something incoherently.
"What was that love?"
"No" Hermione ground out.
"Exactly."
"Someone should make a trip to Azkaban to see if they can get the counter curse out of Malfoy." Remus said.
"He won't give it up unless he can get something out of the deal." Constance said.
"Or someone can shove vertiserum down his throat." Severus suggested.
"Until we find a way to reverse this spell someone needs to keep an eye on Harry." Hermione said.
"Not you!" Severus glared.
"I was thinking maybe Ron." Hermione glared back.
"Hermione can I speak with you in the other room please." Severus grabbed Hermione's hand and dragged her into their bedroom, closing the door and locking it.
"What Sev?" Hermione tapped her foot impatiently.
"Hermione you can't play a part in this thing with Harry."
"Why not? He's my friend. And a long time ago Harry, Ron and I made a pact that we would never turn our backs on each other. I will not go back on my word."
Severus sighed "Love I know your loyal to Harry. But look at me." He gently tilted her face to look at him. "You have our son to think about. This involves Malfoy; nothing good can come from this. Hermione he raped you, you can't be involved."
Hermione sighed, "I know. But in all fairness if Malfoy hadn't done what he did I wouldn't have you."
Severus gently kissed her. "You would have had me anyway."
"But I would have been to scared to admit I was in love with you if it hadn't happened." Hermione pointed out.
Severus wrapped his arms around her. "Yeah bit I would have lost all control and jumped you eventually."
Hermione laughed. "You've yet to jump me."
Severus raised an eyebrow. "I fully intend to have my wicked way with you once the baby is born and once my ring is on your finger trust me."
"Mmmm and I fully intend to let you but right now we need to get back out there before Constance and Remus kill each other."
"Can't we just stun them and be done with it?" Severus asked.
"No." Hermione shook her head.
"Damn."
