This is my take on a werewolf Harry it will start in third year and go from there to maybe end of seventh there will be a little bit of everything, strong language, mature themes, violence, character death, torture, prejudice, canon divergance, character bashing. Let me know what you all think.

"HARRY! HARRY! Please don't be dead." Hermione screamed. As Harry opened his eyes all he could register was the horrible burning pain in his left shoulder.

"Her-Hermione? We got away?" Harry asked.

"Buckbeak chased Professor Lupin off just after…." Hermione said, pointing to his shoulder.

"He bit me. Does this mean I'm gonna become a werewolf? Wait nevermind help me up, we haven't got much time to save Sirius." said Harry quickly.

Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him to his feet just as the winds picked up and the air turned frosty. They knew this meant the dementors were close. They ran to the edge of the Black Lake opposite past Harry and Sirius.

"Ok now we wait. My dad will come right there." Harry said, pointing to the rock jutting into the water.

"Harry, listen no one's coming." said Hermione. "You're dying, both of you."

Harry ran out onto the rock, pulled out his wand and shouted "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Out of his wand a blinding white shape burst forth and started chasing off the dementors. Several minutes later the white shape cantered back to Harry to reveal a magnificent white stag.

"Prongs." Harry said with a chuck the stag bowed and faded away.

"Harry, what did you do? We weren't supposed to be seen." Hermione called out.

"It's alright Mione. Haven't you been listening to me? It was me all along. I just thought I saw my dad so we are ok now. Come on, we need to go save Sirius from Professor Flitwick's office. What did Dumbledore say, thirteenth window? Come on up on Buckbeak you can hang on to me just be careful of my shoulder." Harry said quickly.

The two climbed on to the hippogriff and set off into the sky. Hermione cautiously held tight to Harry's waist and buried her face into the right side of Harry. Her fear of heights was not important right now. When they got to the window of Professor Flitwick's office Hermione reached over to open it.

"Someone request a hippogriff escape route?" asked Harry, smirking.

"How is this possible?" Sirius asked.

"Hop on no time to explain." Hermione cut in.

Sirius climbed out the window and onto Buckbeak. Harry spurred the hippogriff into the air and up to the Astronomy Tower. Landing Harry helped Hermione down before getting off himself and turning to say goodbye to Sirius. It was at this point Sirius saw Harry's wound.

"Harry, is that what I think it is?" Sirius asked with a worried look.

"Yea Lupin bit me." Harry confirmed.

"Oh Moony. Harry there might be a place to get you away from your aunt and uncle that will be safe. I just need to know if it's available. I'll be in contact before the next moon with both you and Moony. We will not let you face this alone pup that is a promise." Sirius said softly, hugging Harry. "Hermione I can't thank you enough but I do have a favor to ask. Keep an eye on him please I'll let you both know where it is as soon as I can."

Hermione nodded. Sirius hopped on Buckbeak, gave one last smile to the two teens and took off into the night.

Harry and Hermione quickly made their way back to the hospital wing where Dumbledore was waiting.

"Well what happened?" Dumbledore asked as they walked in.

"We got Sirius free. He left on Buckbeak, now I'm gonna go lay down." Harry said quickly, trying to hide the bite from Dumbledore.

"Harry I may be old but I'm not blind what happened to your shoulder?" He asked.

"I was just a bad uh." Harry tried to lie.

"Harry, we can't hide this from Professor Dumbledore, he is the Hogwarts headmaster. He will need to help next year. He got bit by Professor Lupin protecting me sir." Hermione explained.

"Oh dear. Ok Harry get into bed I suspect the Minister and company will be back soon. While I believe you I'm going to lie to keep this secret so do not react to what I say just pretend to be asleep you should to the same miss Granger we will discuss things with Madam Pomfrey after. Go on now." Dumbledore instructed.

They could hear Snape shouting and accusing Harry of helping Sirius escape and that's when Dumbledore finally spoke up.

"Severus, how could Harry have helped Black escape? I took what you said about them being confounded and put a heavy sleeping charm on them both. If you peek in you will see them in their bed sleeping." Dumbledore explained.

"Potter has been crafty before sir as you well know I know he is behind this." Snape shouted.

"See here Snape Dumbledore is a well respected man. It sounds like you are looking for any excuse to get Mr. Potter in trouble over something that he had no control over. He has been in the hospital wing since we left him and Dumbledore just told us he put them to sleep. How could it have possibly been him?" Fudge asked.

Snape turned around and left the hall fuming.

"That man seems to be rather unstable Albus you might want to reconsider his employment or at the very least have him checked again." Fudge said, shaking his head.

"No Cornileus he has just suffered a rather large disappointment. If that is all I think we must bid each other good night. Oh and since Black is no longer here and the danger they have presented to one of my students I expect the dementors to be removed from the school as soon as you are able yes." Dumbledore said.

"Oh my yes I never expected them to try and perform the kiss on a child let alone Mr. Potter, I will have an Auror dispatched tomorrow to send them back to Azkaban." Replied Fudge.

The two men parted ways and Dumbledore returned back to the hospital wing to speak to Madam Pomfrey and Harry. Inside Madam Pomfrey was taking care of Hermione's minor cuts and gave her a calming potion.

"Poppy have you begun tending Mr. Potter?" He asked.

"No, he insisted I take care of Miss Granger and wait for you. Since you are here and Miss Granger is set for the night I assume we can begin?" She explained.

"I do think that would be wise." He replied.

They went over to Harry who was already dabbing a piece of his shirt in his water glass and wiping the dried blood off the outer portions of his wounds.

"Mr. Potter please allow me to tend the wound. I'm assuming this is from Professor Lupin Severus alerted the staff he was loose on the grounds without his potion as soon as he could. I'll need to take a sample to test for the infection." Pomfrey told him and Harry just nodded.

"I hope he doesn't blame himself too much. It was my choice to get between him and Hermione and I wasn't about to let her suffer that. She would never be able to go home and never see her parents again. I couldn't let that happen if I never have to see the Dursley's it won't matter much not like they miss me." Harry said solemnly.

"Oh don't you worry Harry I'll be going to your family in the morning to work something out so you may return this summer. After all, I'm sure you would miss each other terribly. I'll make sure there are sensible protections in place for the times in which you'll turn if that is the case. We will have to wait for the test for sure." Dumbledore said.

Hermione couldn't believe what she was hearing. Professor Dumbledore was going to send Harry back to the Dursleys even if he was turned, which would put them all in danger. How could he possibly allow that. At that moment Madam Pomfrey came back in with a grave expression which just confirmed what everyone already knew.

"I'm sorry Mr. Potter I'm afraid the test came back positive for lycanthropic infection. You are as of this moment a werewolf. I can clean the wound but I'm going to need to remove the rest of that shirt." She explained. Harry's expression turned to one of complete fear.

"It's fine I can clean it without taking my shirt off. I'm sure you have better things to do. I can manage a wound like this." Harry said quickly.

"Nonsense a werewolf bite needs a silver laced potion to heal the wound but if you are that determined I will put up the privacy curtains while we take care of it and of course you have my oath as a healer while that screen is up." She told him reading the worried expression on his face.

Harry nodded and waited while she grabbed the potions and put up the privacy screen.

"Now let's get this over with shall we. Don't worry, not only are the privacy screens preventing people from seeing us but they are also charmed to keep what is said from being overheard. Now let's get that shirt off." Pomfrey told him waving her wand and vanishing his shirt revealing Harry's greatest shame. Scars were covering his torso and back from many different forms of beatings and abuse from Vernon over the years. Madam Pomfrey looked appalled.

"Harry, what in Merlin's name has happened to you? Is this the work of your relatives? These scars are years old. How long has this been happening?" She asked as she examined all the scars.

"Can we not go into details? I want to tell you something that the headmaster probably doesn't want many people to know but it will put things to rest. Sirius Black is truly innocent. He told me himself that he is my godfather by oath and bond. Which means he cannot do anything that would cause me direct harm or put me in danger. I'm telling you now because Hermione told me that the Healer's Oath is a magical failsafe that protects from any form of reading like truth serum or legitimency. I'm not so sure I trust Professor Dumbledore as much as I used to. We freed Sirius and he told me he is going to find a safe place to take me before school lets out so we don't have to worry." Harry said.

"Mr. Potter, while I am glad for that bit of news this crime needs to be dealt with, they can't go unpunished for this abuse. I'll get you cleaned up and have a fresh shirt for you but I recommend you tell someone of authority about this and definitely tell Miss Granger if what you told me about the bite is true then there is a conversation the three of us need to have." She told him.

He nodded and she proceeded to clean the wound, dress it, then brought him a clean shirt to sleep in, after that she dropped the privacy screens.

"Professor Dumbledore he is all set. I'm just gonna give him a draught of dreamless sleep and they will be able to leave in the morning." Madam Pomfrey told him.

"Very good, well I have some things to arrange. Poppy, Miss Granger, Harry I bid you good night we shall talk shortly." Dumbledore said and proceeded to leave the hospital wing.

"Mr. Potter, would you like to have that conversation now or in the morning?" Promfey asked.

"Can we do it in the morning? I'm very tired and would like to sleep some." Harry said.

Madam Pomfrey nodded and brought him the potion of Dreamless Sleep with a look of disgust Harry quickly drank it and laid down to rest until morning.
