The rest of the night passed uneventfully, and we left the Shrieking Shack just before sunrise, racing for the Entrance Hall to deal with Snape.
I hesitated to turn back in front of Severus, not wanting to give him anymore ammunition, but I followed Leo's lead nonetheless, and rolled my eyes as Snape gasped.
"All of you-? Animagi? How?!" I bit my lip, thinking it was a mistake to let him see us like this, but Leo soon quelled those fears.
Stepping forward, he gripped Severus' jaw, forcing him to look at him, blue eyes boring into brown ones, before the blue ones darkened.
I heard Snape squeak in pure terror as Leo's teeth lengthened, and he slipped into something he liked to call 'Sensory Alert'. For one, very long second, I thought he was going to bite him, but instead, he started to speak.
If you can even call it speaking. It was more of a hissing, growling jumble, but I caught a few words here and there, none of them making sense, and trying to figure them out gave me an instant headache.
When he finally released Severus the other boy blinked, frowned slightly, and turned to James.
"Thank you, Potter." He mumbled begrudgingly before spinning on his heel, and I watched as Leo just let him go.
"Did you just- Did you just influence him to thank James?!" I cried in a whisper, and Leo winced.
"More than that. He won't remember we're animagi, so he just thinks James- human James- saved him from being attacked by Remus- who was at no fault, because Severus went looking for him." He glared rather heavily at Sirius here. "He also won't remember I influenced him, because uh, I can uh... get expelled and uh, killed for doing that under these circumstances." The boys eyebrows shot up, but I already knew the consequences, so I threw Leo a weak smile.
"Let's hope you're good at it then." He nodded, and we started towards the Hospital Wing to wait for Remus and Madam Pomfrey.
It was about twenty minutes longer than normal before Madam Pomfrey pushed open the door to the Hospital wing and Leo took Remus off her hands, probably because Remus was still unconscious, rather than just unbearably weak.
In the blink of an eye, Remus was laid on delicately on one of the hospital beds, and Leo was back flopped onto the one next to that.
"What happened, and why does Mr. Lupin have a hoof print on his face?" She asked, not sounding angry, but instead simply exhausted.
Leo shrugged, smirking ever so slightly. "Maybe he pissed off Bambi."
(A/N): So, what did you think?
Yes, Leo would be killed for influencing Severus like that. The Ministry of Magic would see it as a corruption of human will or something like that, brand him as a monster and have him put to death.
