Rosie slapped a piece of paper in front of Charlie. He blinked and then picked it up. It was a symbol of the Goddess or at least that's what it looked like. He gave Rosie a hopeful look.
" One of the books on identifying werewolves had a section on Greyback. This symbol just below his elbow on his left arm. Now you have it. Exactly how were you planning to do this? "
Charlie jumped up and hugged her tightly. After a moment she sighed and hugged him back. Potter appeared looking interested. Charlie motioned for them to have a seat.
" We can't go home over spring break. We need to find a map to get to Low Hollow and we need to figure out transportation. Once there I can set up the spell. We have to get Fenrir close by in order for me to throw the binding spell on them."
Potter shook his head again. " I don't know Charlie I mean...I just keep thinking about Lupin...dad said he was a wonderful man except during the full moon. Wouldn't it have been a little mean to stick him with someone else before he got married? She might have been more like Fenrir too which would have really hurt him."
Charlie sighed. " Look I've thought lot about this...and I think that what the spell is doing is forcing something that would happen naturally no matter what. The only thing we're really doing is bringing two beings together. If we didn't complete the spell they would complete it somehow themselves...in fact I get the feeling that it's just done without them doing anything. So if it's bound to happen anyway then really what's the harm? Obviously they won't hurt each other or kill each other right? Besides maybe this will make Fenrir more..." he curled his nose up .." Human? "
For a moment Potter and Rosie stared at him. Then the three of them burst out laughing. " Ok...ok it was a dumb thought but really...I'll keep looking and if you help me look too maybe we can find something else to do instead but we only have about a week and half so we need to hurry!"
They agreed to start spending some more time at the library and brain storming. Charlie waited until Potter and Rosie were a bit further away then he pulled out a photo of him his dad and his mum. They were all happily grinning at the camera. His father was a big man with large hands and he kept playfully rubbing his sons hair while his mother smiled and tried to smooth it down. She had been a bit on the meaty side. Not now. Charlie squeezed his eyes shut. I'm not giving up on you dad. He thought fiercely one way or another he was going to find his father.
