Chapter 13

There were barely any students left at Hogwarts. Zabrina had never seen the school so empty. She was with her dad, decorating the Christmas tree he brought from home, when Harry suddenly entered.

"Harry!" her dad walked to him and opened his arms. "Would you like to join us?"

"I…uh…" Harry looked at Zabrina, and then back at her dad.

"It's okay Harry," Zabrina said, "I have to go back to my room anyway."

"Really?" her dad asked.

"Yeah, I was gonna go after we finished, but I guess you'll have a replacement," She stood up and kissed Lupin on the cheek. She passed Harry and gave him a polite nod, and left.

She went down to the Common Room and found Draco sitting in his regular seat.

"I thought you were with your father."

"Well, he seems to enjoy Harry's company much more than mine. I didn't want to ruin their moment," Zabrina sat on the couch in front of Draco.

"You're not jealous, are you?"

"Of course I'm not," she said.

"Well then, at least act like you aren't. You look like a volcano about to explode."

"Oh shut it, Draco."

Draco smirked. "I would be if I were you."

"I don't blame him. Harry's the son of my dad's late best friend. Of course he cares for him."

"Yeah, but you're his daughter, not Potter. Why should you give up your time with your father for someone who isn't even related to him could spend more time with him?

"I got to spend all my life with my dad. Now he should have some time of his own."

"You know, these are one of the many times I question why you were sent to Slytherin. You could've made an excellent Gryffindor."

"I think so, too," Zabrina smirked and touched her ruby.

The clock was exactly on midnight, which meant it was now Christmas Day.

"Merry Christmas…Zabrina."

"Merry Christmas Draco," Zabrina smiled and fell asleep on the couch.

"So tell me a bit about yourself," Draco said.

"You already know a lot about-"

"Then tell me what I don't know already."

"Well…" Zabrina thought for a moment. "Spells don't work on me."

"What?"

"Yeah, spells don't work on me. Last time like the Disarming Charm wouldn't disarm me. It was like that ever since I was a baby. My dad couldn't use any charms when he was on a rush to get me ready, so we were often late to appointments."

Draco didn't say a word.

"He's tried almost everything on me except for the Unforgivable ones."

"And did none of them work?"

"None."

"That's something different," Draco raised his eyebrows.

"Now tell me a little something about you."

"I don't have much to say," Draco smirked. "I'm not that special."

"Well that's what you think." Zabrina smirked. "Some may not."

Draco looked down and went up to the Great Hall with her for dinner.

Lupin went out the castle furiously. Zabrina followed behind, carrying his Wolfsbane Potion.

"Dad, you forgot the potion!" she yelled as she ran behind him. He didn't listen.

"Zabrina what are you-"

"Draco, not now. I have to go," Zabrina ran off without seeing Draco follow behind.

They entered a tunnel that lead them to the Shrieking Shack, and Zabrina almost stopped when she heard voices from a room.

Lupin opened the door and yelled a Disarming Charm. She went inside to get a clear view of what was going on. There was an unfamiliar man hugging her dad. He looked like…Sirius Black, a much hairier Sirius Black. Then they turned a rat into…a human? Why is the-

It was Peter Pettigrew. Now everything made much more sense.

They interrogated him with their wands out.

She looked around. Harry was standing there with a shocked expression on his face, Hermione was doing the same, and Ron was making one mixed with pain and horror. Snape was out cold and his wand was somewhere out of his reach.

Peter Pettigrew was the reason why Potter's parents died that night. He was their Secret Keeper, not Sirius Black.

"Let's kill him!" Sirius cried.

Harry stopped her dad and Sirius from killing Pettigrew, and suggested taking him back so he can have his deserved punishment. Zabrina exited the room first, and the rest of the gang followed. As soon as she went out, she finally noticed Draco, and hid with him behind a nearby boulder. She found the potion she brought with her earlier, but it was too late. Her dad was already turning into a wolf, and he howled at the round moon. Sirius turned himself into a dog and tried to fight her dad. Her dad was stronger, and Sirius seemed badly injured. Then, another howl came from a distance, and her dad followed it. He was clearly out of his mind. She's never seen him in full-wolf form. He was always out during his time of transformation. She had to stop him or else he might get himself in danger. Zabrina and Draco followed the werewolf into the woods. Buckbeak chased him away from two figures hiding behind a tree.

She stopped right in front of her dad as she heard Harry's voice yell a Patronus Charm. Her dad circled her, as if he was trying to fight.

"Oh for crying out loud, once you remember what happened tomorrow you won't stay at Hogwarts for another minute," Zabrina said. "I have a wonderful dad, who is now about to kill his own daughter. Beautiful story. Definitely worth a few books."

The creature growled.

"I'M YOUR DAUGHTER FOR MERLIN'S SAKE, GET YOURSELF TOGETHER!" she yelled and threw the potion at him. It broke on his forehead. Blood and the potion dripped down, and finally reached his mouth.

This did absolutely nothing but make her dad furious.

Draco stood frozen. "Zabrina?"

"Yes Draco?"

"Is this…Professor Lupin?"

"Physically, yes. Mentally, no," Zabrina sighed. "I'll explain later."

The creature lunged towards Zabrina and missed, and smashed into a tree.

Zabrina sighed. "Yes, you're old, and you forget things. But this?" She walked in a circle as well, a small distance away from her dad.

The creature lunged toward Zabrina again.

"Stupefy!" She yelled just before he attacked her.

Her dad lay in front of her, unconscious. She felt a sting on her wrist and noticed the blood on her dad's nails. She rolled up her sleeve and saw a deep gash on her left forearm. She heard a few voices somewhere not far away, but she was too shocked to notice. Someone carried her off her feet, and carried her all the way up to the Hospital Wing.

To her relief, she found her dad in human form when she woke up.

"Dad?"

"Good morning Zabrina," Lupin said.

"Are you alright?" Zabrina asked.

"Yes," he smiled "are you?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Thank you for stopping me yesterday."

"Anything for you, Dad."

Lupin stopped to see her arm covered in bandages.

"I'm so sorry Zabrina I-"

"It's okay dad," she smiled. Lupin stood up and left the Hospital Wing. A few hours later, Draco came in.

"So how's your arm?"

"It's perfectly fine."

"It was bleeding everywhere. You sure it's fine?"

"Positive. Were you the one who carried me?"

"Well of course it was me, you bloody idiot," Draco rolled his eyes.

"Oh, well, thanks," Zabrina said softly.

"You should be. I had to go back for your father after I dropped you off, and dragged him back to his bloody office."

"You did that?"

"Honestly Zabrina, you're in Slytherin. Stop asking Hufflepuff questions."

"I mean, it's just-"

"Yes, yes, I know. I'm the most considerate wizard alive. I know."

"Why did you do it?"

"What?"

"I mean, you could've left him, or me, but you didn't. Why?"

"Zabrina, I am nicer than you think. Don't ignore the inner beauty of Draco Malfoy."

"You have just made me instantly regret my last question. Let's just say you were as sane as my dad was last night."

"He wasn't in his mind at that time."

"Exactly."
