Chapter 10
A week had gone by and Harry had been having a little trouble to fall asleep after hearing that. It was a full moon tonight and the first night without Sirius.
They were a little nervous about it but would get used to it. At Gramauld place Sirius was a little nervous to. After hearing the prophecy he was stressed out.
"Calm down Padfoot, they've been through plenty of things since year one. Ron and Hermione can do it." Remus said though he was a little worried himself.
"I should have waited till next week to let Albus tell him the prophecy!"
He sighed.
"Sirius, he had to hear it eventually. The sooner the better."
"Harry's right about one thing."
"What?"
"What if Voldemort finds out he is a you-know-what? With the rat being anywhere, you never know."
"Good point."
They sighed together.
Back at school the trio was on their way to dinner.
"I can't wait till summer vacation." Ron said.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Because, no detentions, more sleep and more quidditch!"
Harry rolled his eyes.
"Don't forget we have homework to do during the summer to you know."
After that Ron went from smiling to whining. While they had dinner they were talking about what they were doing over summer.
"I'm gonna relax and do nothing for a bit." Seamus said.
"I'm gonna play a little quidditch, eat a lot and sleep a lot." Ron said.
"Do you ever stop eating?" Hermione asked.
"I don't think he does." Dean said which got everyone but Ron laughing.
"What about you Harry?" Neville said.
"I'm gonna get used to not being at my aunt and uncle. Get some new clothes and hopefully get the weight I need." he said.
'And hope I can control my wolf part with it being me and Remus.' he thought.
After dinner Harry, Ron and Hermione headed to the Shrieking Shack.
Harry took his wolfsbanes before they left as usual. Just like last time it hurts to switch into a werewolf but Remus said he would get used to it.
It was their first month by themselves and were doing good. At the end of it Harry had hurt himself more than usual this time.
Hermione slowly walked over to him and checked on him. He could see what she wanted and he nodded. As usual they headed to Madam Pumfry to get checked on.
Just like last time Madam Pumfry fixed him up and he stayed at his usual spot. While he was asleep Sirius came to see how he was doing. He saw a lot of scratches he didn't like.
While he sat down Dumbledore came to see him like he always does.
"I hate it that I had to leave him bye him and his friends alone." Sirius whispered.
"You heard them before, you take care of Remus and Ron and Hermione will take care of Harry. And during summer you will be able to help them both at the same time."
He sighed and nodded.
"Now we have to try and not let them fight each other. Without the wolfsbane it's not gonna be easy."
"We can ask Severus to make it for them during the summer too." Dumbledore said.
"Albus, he hates me, isn't a big fan of Remus or Harry. Why would he help them during summer?" he asked.
Dumbledore went quiet for a while. He was right, the four don't get along that well.
"We'll think of something."
"If I could do it my school years when they hadn't created wolfsbane I can make it a summer. I have Ron and Hermione to help when they can anyway."
"Good point."
A few days later Harry was all set and back to class. Hermione would still help him with things he missed. They were on their last Hogsmead weekend and were having a butter beer.
"This will be an interesting summer." Hermione said.
"With what happened earlier this year and Remus, it's not gonna be easy. But we can do it. We have Sirius to help us and he has us to help him."
Harry and Ron nodded smiling.
"I don't know if we're gonna get the potion with Snape on vacation but we can do it." Harry said.
When they got back to the common room Hermione read for a bit and Harry and Ron played chess. Harry won this game which isn't easy to do with Ron. Sure enough they were on their last day of school and waiting to find out who wins this year.
"For the quidditch cup for the fifth time in a row, Gryffindor."
They started clapping and patting Harry on the back.
"As for house cup, in fourth place, Hufflepuff with three hundred and eighty six points. In third place, Slytherin with four hundred and twelve points. In second place, Ravenclaw with four hundred and forty eight points. And in first place, with four hundred and sixty five points, Gryffindor. He then clapped his hands and went from Ravenclaw to Gryffindor. Gryffindor wins the house cup."
Then almost everyone clapped hard.
The next day after the ride home Harry, Ron and Hermione were looking for their families. When they smiled.
"Don't worry Harry, we'll be there for the full moon." Hermione said smiling.
"Yeah, Sirius told my parents what happened and they were fine with it."
"We just have to keep this really quiet. Sirius had brought something up a few weeks ago."
"What?" Ron and Hermione said together.
"Wormtail, his animagus is a rat which means he could be anywhere. If Voldemort finds out he'll think of something to prevent me from dueling him."
His friends were shocked at that.
"We weren't even thinking about that. And he knows where everything is." Hermione said.
"Don't worry Harry, we can do it. He didn't get the prophecy like he wanted this year, so we should be good." Ron said.
"I really hope you're right." he said.
"Well, I gotta go, I just saw Sirius. See you guys later."
So they split up and found their families.
"Hey pup, how ya doing?" Sirius said smiling.
"Good. Nervous about what will happen without the potion this summer but we can do it."
Sirius smiled and nodded.
"I have plenty of experience with that. They hadn't made it yet when we were at school and look at me. I'm still in one peace!"
They started laughing and then apperated home.
