Chapter Eleven

"You wrote my book," Harry said as they were served tea.

"And how did you like it?"

"It was great," Harry said, "Hagrid is a big fan of yours."

"Everyone is a fan of Newt," his wife said.

"So I heard that you gave the infection to someone," Newt told Harry.

"It wasn't that I meant to, I mean," Harry told him and then stopped.

"My son was force to give someone blood that caused the infection," Severus told him. "And now he's causing trouble."

"I heard about what happened," Newt told him, "Not that I understand why anyone would want to infect another person."

"Tom Riddle is sick! He doesn't care about anyone but himself."

"I've met plenty of werewolves during my time," he said, "And most of them are good people. It's the bad ones that you have to worry about."

"He infected my mate," Harry told him.

"Oh dear," Newt stated.

The food took Harry's mind off of what happened while his father asked him about whatever discoveries that he had discovered during his time. Newt mentioned his time in New York, earning a glare from his wife. Harry had a feeling that the meeting of these two hadn't been on the best of terms.

"So how long are you staying?" Newt asked Severus.

"Until the middle part of August," his father told him, "And then I have to take Harry back so that he can get his things for the coming term."

"Then I think that I need to take you both somewhere," Newt said, "That is if you haven't been there already."

"And what place are you talking about?"

"Why Pompeii," he answered.

When they arrived all Harry saw was ruins, like his life. However Newt explained that the town had once been filled with people. Where the people were was explained when Harry saw strange shapes that Severus explained where the people.

"That thing up there," he pointed to the mountain, "spews hot lava and smoke."

"A volcano," Harry reasoned.

"Correct," Newt said. "It came down and killed all these people. That's why life is so precious and important. You never know when it will be snuffed out."

Of course Harry wasn't allowed to enter one of them called 'The Wolf House.' Severus told him that it was filled with paintings that he didn't want Harry to see. He stayed outside while his father and Newt went inside. Ten minutes later they came out to find that, somehow, Harry had gotten something to eat.

"How?"

"I had it in my pocket," Harry told him.

"Remind me to find out what else your hiding," he said.

Severus and Harry parted ways with Newt and they headed back to the villa. Harry was so tired that he just went to bed and fell asleep.

Hermione opened her eyes and looked around. She knew that she wasn't in her room so this had to be another place. Suddenly a healer appeared and saw that she was awake.

"What happened?" Hermione asked her.

"I'm afraid that you've been bitten," she told Hermione. "You're a werewolf!"

Hermione broke down in tears.

"I don't think that this was a chance that Tom chose Hufflepuff's cup," Dumbledore told McGonagall.

"And how do you figure that?"

"He's obsessed with the founders and what they owned," Dumbledore told her. "This cup proves that I was right."

"So do you think that he made others?"

"Yes, but I don't know how to figure out where the others are."

McGonagall thought this over and then said, "Why don't we ask Severus. He's an expert in this kind of thing."

"I will once he returns," Dumbledore promised. "Let's just make sure that this thing doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

"I agree," McGonagall said.

Harry and Severus packed their bags and headed back to England. It was the middle part of August and he was looking forward to being back among things that he recognized. His transformation would take place a week before the end of the month, meaning that he would be healed enough to return to the school. He thought over what had happened to Hermione and wished, for once, that fate hadn't been so harsh.

They settled into Prince Manor where Harry saw that his father had a message waiting on him. Picking it up he opened it and read it. Harry didn't dare ask what was written.

"Harry, I'm going to have Remus come and watch you," he said.

"Does someone need you?" Harry asked him.

"The Headmaster," his father explained. "I'll pay the man money and he can raid the fridge."

"I'm sure that he'll like that," Harry reasoned.

He made a quick fire call and then he was off.

"Dad said that you can raid the fridge," Harry told Remus went he came in.

"Thanks," Remus said and then, "Harry, I'm sorry about what happened."

"It wasn't your fault," Harry told him.

"I know that, but I could have killed you," Remus told him.

Harry could feel the pain coming from Remus and said, "If you get me some ice-cream from the freezer then I'll forgive you."

He grinned and said, "Sounds like a good idea."

"Can you brew something that will help us locate the others?" Dumbledore asked when Severus arrived.

"It can be done," he said, "But Riddle most likely put other protections in place."

Dumbledore suspected as much and said, "Do what you can."

"Yes, Headmaster," Severus said.

"So how did you like Newt?" Dumbledore asked him.

"Completely nuts," Severus answered.

Dumbledore laughed and said, "He was in Hufflepuff, you know. Fine student!"

"Who did the same thing that Hagrid was accused of doing," Severus pointed out.

"Yes, but both are very different," Dumbledore told him. "Everyone is different!"

Severus took the cup and left the office.
