"Ron, are you okay? Is your leg alright?" I asked him helping him on an old couch. "Yes, you shouldn't have done that, your life is in danger now" he said placing a hand on my shoulder.

"And yours isn't?" I said pulling his pants up for me to see the wound. Soon, Harry and Hermione came in.

"Harry, it's a trap, he's an Animagus, he's the dog. It's Sirius Black" Ron said pointing at the door. And there he was standing with a crazy look in his eyes, murderous look. Before I could protect Harry, he jumped on Black and started strangling him and took his wand out and aimed at him.

"Are you going to kill me, Harry?" said Sirius laughing.

"Harry, no!" I shouted. Professor Lupin came in and he gestured Harry to get off him. He quickly got up and Hermione pulled him towards her.

"Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within" Lupin said, pointing his wand at him.

"You'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you?" said Sirius, I knew exactly to what he was referring to, which made Lupin lower his wand and pull him up into a hug.

"No, I trusted you! And all this time, you've been his friend" shouted Hermione in disappointment. "He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes" she continued.

"How long have you known?" asked Lupin.

"Since, Snape set out the essay on werewolf" replied Hermione.

"Well, well, well, Hermione, you really are the brightest witch of your age" he said and then he looked at me, "And you? Miss Middleton?" I looked at the others, guiltily.

"Since Professor Snape told the Slytherins and Malfoy told me!" I said looking down, not wanting to meet the eyes of my friends. Malfoy had told me over the holidays, how Professor Lupin was a werewolf.

"Enough talk, let's kill him" said Sirius looking at Ron, and not Harry. Why was he looking at Ron, while the others in wizarding world are telling that he's out to kill Harry. And then it hit me, he was not looking at Ron, but his rat. Scabbers was Peter Pettigrew. I was soon brought back to reality when Harry attacked Snape and he went crashing in the old bed, collapsing it on top of him. And then Scabbers changed to Peter Pettigrew.

"Remus? Sirius? My old friends" he said looking at them. He then latched on to Harry and started telling him, how much he looked like his father.

"How dare you speak to him? How dare you speak to him about James? How dare you take his name, when you betrayed him?" Sirius said, now both of them pointing their wands at Peter.

"The Dark Lord! You have no idea the weapons he possesses! You know right?" he asked looking at me.

Why would I know what weapons he has? Why was he saying that to me?

"Don't you dare talk to her! You have no status to talk to her like that!" Lupin chimed in.

Status? What were they talking about? Does he know about my powers? I shook my thoughts when I heard Harry shout a no.

"I know what he is. But we'll take him to the castle. After that, the dementors can have you" and Peter started whimpering.

"Sorry about the bite. I think that twinges a bit" Sirius said while Harry and I were helping Ron walk.

"A bit? You almost tore my leg off! And with all that pulling, Liv, you would've torn by arm too" he said looking at Sirius and then at me.

"I was going for the rat" Sirius said.
