Chapter 1: Three wizards and a Werewolf walk into a Brawl

"Run!"

Sirius Black morphed into the black Grim that was his animagus form as he lunged at Remus Lupin who was about to pounce on to unsuspecting Hermione Granger.

The two doggish animals tore into each other with teeth and mass, both trying to get a hold of the throat of their opponent as they rolled on the ground.

Ron grabbed Hermione, yanking her along as Harry floated an unconscious Severus Snape and Peter Pettigrew up the hill as fast as he could run. Ron looked up at Harry who was staring behind them with a look of terror on his face.

"Look out!"

Ron spun around as he felt the giant Grim fly past the air he had previously occupied to crash into Hermione, hurled by Remus. The impact knocked her down the slope toward a transformed Remus who lunged toward her. Intent on the kill; meanwhile Sirius as Snuffles smashed into the ground not moving.

'Stupefy" The red light jetted from Ron's wand into Remus's chest slowing him down slightly, only for the werewolf to jump up past Hermione who was searching in the long grass for her wand.

Ron mentally yelled at himself "Hit him again Ron" as he blurted out," Stupefy".

The red spell crashed into Remus's groin as the werewolf smashed into Ron. Both combatants rolled down into the hollow of the hillock out of sight from Harry. Ron got up fast clutching his wand and favoring his right leg while bleeding with a gash from the head; while Remus was lunging up slower than before as he held one clinched clawed hand over his groin.

"Harry, I can't find my wand. Help Ron, while I get Snape and Pettigrew." Yelled Hermione as she tried to run up the hill behind Ron as he launched another Stupefy at Remus. Harry raced to the edge dropping Pettigrew and Snape while trying to get an angle to hex his current crazed teacher.

Remus blocked the Ron's spell with his right forearm which rocked back from the impact and whipped his left hand up launching a rock at Ron who was preparing to launch another spell.

Hermione shouted in anger as Remus burst toward Ron who was smashed backward with the thrown rock. That was when she noticed how odd Remus looked. When Snape was going over Werewolves he indicated from his teachings that they were wolves when transformed. A wolf was not the hybrid creature Remus Lupin had become.

Remus stood tall at approximately seven foot, his legs shaped like a wolves but still strong enough to support him easily. The once quiet small man who couldn't have been over 160 pounds had now grown to what appeared to be well into the 250 pounds margin. His head was replaced with a snarling wolfs maw while his frame rippled with muscles and hair. Massive hands were tipped with claws on the ends of his fingers. As blood dripped from the bites that Sirius had left on him.

She grabbed hold of Ron's wand as she saw a jinx from Harry hit Remus in the head as he straddled his fallen foe.

Remus preparing to bite into the boys neck beneath felt something hit him in the jaw. The werewolf wheeled as the tiny bushy haired witch pointed the fallen boy's wand at him as the tip grew bright with a blue light. Remus kicked out with his left foot knocking the witch back gasping for breath as he prepared to rush his new foe.

"Professor! Get the hell away from them!" Yelled Harry as he charged down the hill launching stupefies toward his transformed teacher who was at that moment a few feet away from biting Hermione as she scrambled for the wand which had been knocked out of her hand. Remus dodged pass Harry's spells as he moved toward the fallen girl who was reaching for Ron's wand a foot out of her reach.

"I've got to be between them," thought Harry as he slid down the slope of the hillock toward the werewolf who was about to bite his friend. A surge of anger flowed through Harry at the thought of losing Hermione, Ron, and now Sirius when suddenly everything went dark as he felt as if he were squeezed through a tube. Suddenly a giant mass toppled over him.

Remus swiped with his claws at the boy who had somehow apparated from the top of the hill to under his feet. Harry rolled back out of the reach of Remus's claws while stabbing his wand toward his foe's chess.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Yelled Harry.

Remus flew up in the air and promptly smacked back down, jaw first into Harry. Harry tried to throw Remus over his shoulders with his knees when a Remus's clawed fists smashed into his gut driving the air from his lungs. While his other paw raked Harry's head and shoulder leaving bloody paths across Harry body.

Harry heard a yell from up the hill as he struggled with trying to keep the werewolf on top of him from biting his throat. He felt something slam into the werewolf who got thrown down the hill headfirst into a tree. The sudden stillness of Remus showed that the werewolf was finally beaten.

Harry looked up as he rolled over and heard Hermione yell, "Professor Snape thank yo!"

"Stupefy"

Harry looked on in disbelief as Hermione fell to the ground as Severus Snape turned to him and pointed his wand lazily at him and muttered with an angry look.

"Stupefy"

And all went dark.

Snape looked around as he tied the party up. He had all of them. The Lily's son, the extra Weasely, Granger the werewolf, and most satisfying of all Black.

Unfortunately for Severus Snape he missed one person.

Pettigrew transformed from the rat that was his namesake as he grabbed the fallen witch's wand and fired a curse at Snape with a whisper.

"Immobulus."

Snape wheeled turning his back to his new prisoners only to be froze as Pettigrew spell caught him in the shoulder. Snape fell to the ground watching the rat. As Pettigrew's captured wand turned green he gasped before dropping the wand as he ran away from the oncoming dementers.

Snape fought hard against the charm as he heard the voice of Potter.

"Expecto Patronum"

Harry watched as the crowd of dementers rushed them from all directions eager to feast on the fear of the conflict. He tried to cast the Protector charm again and again without success only getting a glowing tip or mist as the Dementors steadily overwhelmed Him. The boy grew weary from what was becoming an impossible task as he dropped to the ground in exhaustion and dispair.

Harry watched as a dementor approached feet away. The dementor approached him and there was nothing he could do about it. As the rest of the dementors hands went up to take off their hoods to perform the dementors kiss on their helpless victims.

A white light flashed around Harry as the nearest dementor dove away from a light forgetting Harry as it fled from a the Patronus.

Harry watched as the stag chase away the dementors from fallen party while recognizing the shape from a forgotten memory,"Prongs? Dad?"

The magically exhausted teen fell asleep as he tried to turn around to see who had cast the Patronus.
