"Let's check around the Quidditch stands before we split up," Draco suggested to Hermione, "Since Harry was seen talking to the fake Luna here maybe we can find some clue as to what happened."

"Good idea," Hermione nodded, "Ron, which area was Harry sitting in when you saw him?"

"Umm, they were over in the Ravenclaw stands," Ron replied, "Somewhere near the middle of the stands I think."

"Even if something was left behind it might have fallen or gotten kicked away," Seamus pointed out, "The imposter may even have dropped it somewhere else on the pitch."

"So we break into pairs and search," Hermione said, "Ron with me, Seamus with Neville, and Draco and Luna. Seamus, you and Neville should search the pitch, and the four of us will search the stands." Seamus and Neville nodded, and started to walk the Quidditch pitch, while Ron, Hermione, Draco and Luna headed up to the Ravenclaw stands. By unspoken agreement the four students split up and began slowly making their way up the stands, looking under the benches for anything suspicious. The stands were cleaned after every game, so there wasn't much to be seen, although Ron did find seven sickles and a handful on knuts which he quickly put in his pocket despite Hermione's disapproving look.

"Here!" Draco called, leaning down to examine something about halfway up the stands, "I think I may have found something!" Hermione, Ron and Luna hurried to join him, and Draco pointed at a silver goblet lying under one of the benches. "I need something to put it in, and a way to pick it up."

"Here," Hermione handed him a small bag that she pulled out of her pocket, "If you hold this I'll levitate it into the bag."

"No levitating," Draco countered, "The goblet should have traces of the magical signature of anyone who touched it, and if we use magic that will make the traces harder to sort out. "I need a cloth or something…"

"Here," Luna took a purple sparkly scarf out of her purse-Harry was right, Draco mused absently, he hadn't even realized Luna brought her purse until she pulled out the scarf-and handed it to Draco; "I transfigured it when Harry was still in the labyrinth, so the snifflepods should be gone by now."

"Yes, it has been long enough that your magical signature should not interfere with those already on the goblet," Draco nodded and took the scarf from Luna, carefully wrapping it around the goblet before placing it in the bag, "If Sev was here he could separate the signature's quickly, but since he is gone I think our best bet would be to contact Fred and George. Harry got a letter from them before we returned to the realm to rescue Sirius, detailing some of the inventions they created to help out the aurors, and one of them is a magical signature detector."

"I don't think we should take the goblet off school grounds," Hermione protested, "What if something happens to it?"

"You hold on to it then," Draco said, "Luna, Neville and I will go to the twins store and return with the magical signature detector, while you three can continue looking for more clues as to what actually happened to Harry. Actually…it's been long enough for any spilled liquid to have dried, but I remember one of the Weasley Professors-Bill, I believe-mentioned a spell that can-"

"Oh, yes! I remember!" Hermione interrupted excitedly, "It's one the auror's use when looking for traces of spilled potions!" She pulled out her wand and aimed it at the bench, murmuring an incantation that made the area in which they had found the goblet glow for a moment before a small amount of liquid was drawn from the wood. Draco reached into his pocket and pulled out a small crystal phial and Hermione directed the liquid in there.

"Maybe we should take what we have and go into the school," Ron suggested, "What if Dumbledore had something to do with this? He can see the pitch from his office, and we don't want him to catch us."

"You should go then," Draco nodded towards the school, "Here comes McGonagall, and she seems to tell the headmaster everything. You guys head back up to the school; tell her we were looking for clues, but don't tell her what we found-not yet." Hermione nodded and hid the clues that they had found in her pocket as they headed back down the stands to meet Neville and Seamus who were coming to join them.

"We found some clues," Hermione informed the other two boys, "but we need to get back to the school and to the Room of Requirement. Neville, you guys are going to the twins shop. How will you get there Draco?"

"By using a portal," Luna replied, taking Neville and Draco by the hand and pulling them towards the Forbidden Forest, "We have to hurry before the whifflehammers stop us!"

"Go," Hermione said, "We'll distract McGonagall. Come on Ron, Seamus. Professor!" Hermione shouted and ran towards McGonagall with Seamus and Ron close behind, while the other three headed towards the Whomping Willow. Draco pulled out the map provided by the Room of Requirement and tapped the picture of the tree with his wand; the image of the tree enlarged and showed Draco using his wand to levitate a stick and probe at a knot on the tree. Draco quickly put the map away and copied the illustration; the tree branches quickly stopped moving, and Neville moved forward to enter a hidden tunnel. Luna followed Neville, and Draco came last, sliding in just as the tree branches began to move once again. The tunnel went on for quite a while, finally emerging into a dilapidated and obviously abandoned house.

"Now you can open the portal," Luna said, "It should open into the twins shop."

"I've only ever opened portals between here and home," Draco frowned, "I wasn't even aware that I could open portals between different areas here, but I suppose it should be the same principal…what is the name of their shop again? Weasley's Wizarding Wheeze's?"

"Yeah," Neville nodded, "It's in Diagon Alley, near Gringotts." Draco nodded and walked over to a door on the other side of the living room which he assumed led to a bedroom or study and grasped the doorknob, closing his eyes and focusing on creating the portal. A few moments later the door glowed blue and he smiled in triumph; he pulled the door open and saw a storeroom with the triple W logo he was familiar with.

"Okay, let's go," Draco motioned Luna and Neville through the portal and then followed, hoping that the twins really would be able to assist him with locating Harry.

"Welcome to-oh, Hullo Mrs. Malfoy!" Narcissa was greeted by one of the Weasley twins as she walked through the door and into the shop, "What can we do for you? Are you in the market for extra protection? Or perhaps pranks to play on young Draco?"

"Perhaps some other time," Narcissa declined, "I need to speak with my cousin; is Sirius here yet?"

"Yeah, he's upstairs," the boy replied, "Fred and I offered to let him stay in our spare room until he takes care of things with the Order. Is everything alright?"

"No," Narcissa shook her head, "Severus just gave me some news about Harry that Sirius needs to be made aware of; in fact, you and Fred should probably hear this as well-Harry has said numerous times that you are brilliant, so perhaps you can help."

"I'll help in any way I can," George replied, "and I can guarantee Fred will as well. Is Harry in a lot of trouble? Is it Dumbledore?" He led her up the stairs as they spoke.

"I will tell you all I know once we are all gathered," Narcissa replied, "Although I am afraid that is not much at the moment." George nodded his understanding as they came to the landing.

"Fred! Sirius!" George called, leading Narcissa into the sitting room and gesturing for her to have a seat, "We have company!" A moment later the other twin, Fed, came out of one of the other rooms with Sirius following.

"Cissa!" Sirius greeted her with a smile, "You'll never believe some of the things the twins have invented! I can't wait to try them out on Severus; he won't know what hit him!"

"Oh, I am sure he will know it was you," Narcissa replied with a wry smile before becoming solemn, "Sirius, I am not here just for a visit; Severus contacted Remus and myself and advised us that Harry has gone missing."

"What?!" Sirius exclaimed, "Harry's missing? What happened? They haven't even been back for a full day and Snape lost my godson already? What the fuck?!"

"Sirius! Watch your language," Narcissa glared at her cousin, "It is hardly Severus' fault that Harry has gone missing, however I am unsure as to exactly what happened; Severus and Remus had to leave immediately because Dumbledore convinced Severus that Greyback's pack of werewolves may have kidnapped Harry. We need to go to the school and speak to Draco to find out what happened and-what are you doing?" Narcissa directed the question to Fred who, upon hearing that Harry was missing, had run into the room he and Sirius had just exited and returned with a map.

"This is our Family Locator Map," Fred replied, "We have it attuned to all the members of our family, including Harry and Hermione; we planned to add Draco, but we hadn't had the chance yet. Locate Harry Potter." The map glowed for a moment and then an indistinct image appeared, along with the words "In a secure location".

"Well, according to the map he is in a safe place," George said, "but it's warded so we can't find him."

"He's safe?" The small group turned to the door and saw Draco, Neville and Luna standing there; Draco looked extremely relieved, then frowned, "No, wait; you just said he's in a safe place, but not whether or not he has been injured."

"Right," Fred nodded, "Wherever he is he's safe, but that doesn't mean he wasn't injured before he got there…George, why is his name glowing red?" George frowned and stood next to his brother.

"That means he is injured," George replied, "So we need to find him. Hey, how did you guys get here? Does Dumbledore know you left the school?"

"We snuck into the Shrieking Shack and then I opened a portal," Draco replied, "and Dumbledore has no idea where we are. We actually came to ask for your help in finding Harry, or at least figuring out what happened to him."

"What did happen, Draco?" Narcissa asked, "Severus just told me Harry is missing, however he did not have time to give me the details." So Draco filled Narcissa, Sirius and the twins in on what he knew, and told them about the clues they had found.

"Well, just let us lock up the shop and we'll come with you," George said as Fred headed downstairs, "Can you open up a portal back into the Shrieking Shack?"

"Of course," Draco replied, "In fact, I may even be able to open one directly into the school…Mother?"

"Hmm, I believe it should work if you open it into the room you share with Harry," Narcissa mused, "Sirius and I shall apparate to Hogsmeade as we need to speak with the headmaster and he would become suspicious if we suddenly appeared in the school."

"Meet us in the Room of Requirement after you speak to Dumbles then," Draco said as Fred re-joined the group, "We'll start by figuring out what happened, and remember to be careful because we still haven't located the fake Luna."

"And I still want to know how she fooled the map," Sirius scowled, "Even with polyjuice potion it shouldn't be possible, as the map reads a person's magical signature."

"We'll figure it out," Fred assured him, "And we'll find a way to fix it."

"You children be careful," Narcissa cautioned, "and send us a message if you encounter any trouble or when you find Harry."

"Don't worry," Luna said, smiling sweetly at everyone, "we will have help soon, the blibbering humdingers have assured me of it." Without waiting for a response she nodded at Draco, and he opened a portal into the school; it took more concentration than any of his previous portals, but the group was able to step into his and Harry's private quarters, and from there make their way up to the Room of Requirement, courtesy of the Disillusionment Charms cast by Fred and George. They cancelled the charms when they got to the room, and found Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Theo, Pansy and Blaise already there.

"What happened to the others?" Draco asked.

"We decided that they should continue searching while we meet up to solve the clues," Hermione replied before looking anxiously at the twins, "Can you guys help us?"

"Of course," George replied, taking a small green bottle out of his pocket, "This potion will discover the magical signature of anyone who has touched the object, so we will use it first, but then-"

"We can use this potion," Fred continued, pulling out a purple bottle, "to see the objects memories; it's a new potion, which is why we should use the other one first."

"Good; we may know why Harry passed out," Ginny said, "We searched in the infirmary and spoke to Pomfrey; she said that she gave Harry a potion to prevent pregnancy at his request, and that he was told not to combine it with any other potions or it could react in very bad ways."

"A potion to prevent pregnancy?" Draco frowned, "Those are normally reserved for witches, or if a male has already taken a pregnancy potion and wishes to have it reversed. Harry knows that he would need a potion to get pregnant, so why would he take one to prevent pregnancy? Especially without talking to me first?"

"Well, he took it after speaking to Dumbledore," Pansy replied, "So perhaps the headmaster convinced him to take it."

"Which means we need to identify that potion immediately," Hermione said, "Draco, isn't there a potion that can be used to identify other potions?"

"Yes," Draco replied, "However it takes twenty-four hours to brew, and Sev has increased the wards on his potions cabinet so I doubt I can break in; what we need is a vial of the potion available to us now." There was a shimmer in the air in front of them, and Draco reached out just in time to catch a phial filled with a pale blue potion. "Well, that was easy. Can we have a cauldron please, and the other items we will need to figure out what happened to Harry?" A cauldron appeared with other necessary potions instruments, as well as a vial of silver potion and a single black hair in a vial.

"What is that?" Ron frowned, pointing at the new potion.

"I have no idea," Draco replied, "but we should worry about one thing at a time. Fred, George-while I identify the potion, you two go ahead and examine the goblet." The twins nodded and Hermione handed over the goblet, before giving the liquid they had discovered in the Quidditch stands to Draco. The group of students separated, with Hermione, Luna, Theo and Pansy following Draco over to one side of the room to watch him work, while Ron, Neville, Blaise and Ginny followed the twins to the other side of the room.

They worked quietly for the better part of an hour; Draco had already discovered the purpose of the liquid they had found on the Quidditch pitch but was keeping the information to himself while he worked on the silver potion provided by the room. Once he was finished with that one, he growled and faced the room; he saw that Fred and George obviously had some answers as well, so they met around the table.

"Dumbledore is involved in this, I am certain," Draco began, "The potion we found outside earlier is designed to make the person who takes it believe anything that the person who gave it to him says; the potion simply requires the hair of the person who wants to make someone believe them. I was able to determine that Dumbledore gave Harry this potion, which obviously reacted badly with the one given to Harry by Madame Pomfrey and caused him to faint. This other potion that the room provided us allows you to basically invade someone's mind and change the way they perceive reality."

"Which means Dumbles is still trying to tear you two apart," Theo said thoughtfully, "he must be using Harry's unconsciousness to convince him to turn against you."

"We also found traces of Dumbles' magic on the goblet," Fred replied, "As well as Luna's magic, and with the other potion we found we discovered that the third magical signature belongs to Zacharias Smith, that Hufflepuff who always caused problems for Harry during D.A. meetings last year; the goblets memory showed Smith taking two different potions, one of which was obviously polyjuice."

"Smith was the Luna imposter?!" Ron cried incredulously, "But…Why?"

"Oh, I intend to find out," Draco growled lowly, "Just as soon as I find him." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Marauder's Map, quickly activating it; "Smith is in Dumbledore's office, so we can confront both of them at once. Let's go; we'll find Mother and Sirius along the way." Everyone nodded their agreement and followed Draco out of the room and towards Dumbledore's office in the hopes of finding out exactly what had happened to Harry.

"You've been doing very well Harry," Draco praised the brunet, running a hand through the thick locks as he watched Harry doing his homework, "and you haven't spoken to Smith or Dumbledore?"

"No, Draco," Harry replied, "I haven't spoken to anyone you don't want me to; I want to make you happy." He raised his head and met cold grey eyes, although Draco did have a small smile of approval on his face. "I'm finished with my potions essay; did you want to look it over?" Draco nodded and motioned for Harry to get up; the Gryffindor quickly obeyed and stood by quietly while his fiancé read his essay.

It had been three days since Harry had woken up in the hospital wing, and he had done his best to do as Draco asked ever since the blond had relented and removed the…toys. Harry still wore the collar because Draco said that he needed to earn his trust back, but it wasn't nearly as painful as the other items. Draco had apologized for hurting him, and said he was just frustrated because Harry wasn't making an effort to fit in with Draco's circle of friends, so Harry made more of an effort; he didn't speak to anyone who was not in Slytherin any longer, and he was especially careful to avoid Dumbledore and Zacharias Smith. Draco had punished him on two other occasions, once for failing his potion and once for not returning to their rooms directly after dinner, but neither punishment had been as severe as the first one, and Harry figured he could deal with it. Things were still a bit rougher than he would like during sex, but afterwards Draco would hold him close and say that Harry was his, which was all the brunet wanted to hear. He did wonder why Draco never called him Lion anymore, but decided against asking.

"This is acceptable," Draco's voice brought him out of his thoughts, "It's better than the last one you wrote anyhow. Now, I have to go to Quidditch practice-are you going to watch, or do you have more homework to finish?"

"I still have my dream journal for Divination," Harry replied quietly, "but it isn't due until Friday, so I can go with you if you like."

"No," Draco shook his head, "Finish your homework and then meet me in the Great Hall for supper." He stood up and pulled Harry in for a bruising kiss before turning and leaving the room without another word. Once Draco was gone Harry sighed and sat down at the desk to finish his divination homework, which only took him about thirty minutes. After he finished his homework he decided to go to the library until suppertime; he wanted to read up more on Pureblood bonding rituals so he could know what to expect.

"Hi Harry," Harry had been reading for almost an hour when the quiet whisper disturbed him; he looked up and then quickly away again when he saw Zacharias Smith.

"Go away Smith," he said, "I'm busy."

"Please don't do this," Smith pleaded, "Harry, don't let him tear us apart like this; I know how he treats you, and I can see that collar he makes you wear…" Harry gasped in pain when Smith touched the collar and it stung him.

"Stop it!" Harry hissed, "My relationship with Draco is none of your business, and the only thing you can do is make it worse! I agreed to marry Draco, which obviously means I have no desire to be with you, so just go away!"

"He tricked you!" Smith insisted, "We can break the bond; Professor Dumbledore said so! Why won't you let us help you!?"

"I don't need your help!" Harry replied, slamming the book he had been reading closed and leaving the library before Madame Pince could start yelling. He didn't get very far, however, before Smith grabbed him by the arm and swung him around. "Let me go!" Harry cried furiously as he fought the Hufflepuff's grip, "Please Smith! I don't want Draco to see this and get the wrong idea!"

"I'll let you go when you listen to me," Smith replied angrily, before forcibly calming himself down, "Harry, please, I love you; let me help you." Before Harry could reply Smith had cupped his cheek and pressed their lips together in a gentle kiss. The movement startled Harry into stillness for a moment, and then he was hit by the stinging hex in the collar and began fighting again, struggling to push Smith away from him.

"No! Stop!" Harry cried, "I don't want you!"

"I love you!" Smith shouted back, leaning in to kiss him again; he had barely brushed his lips against Harry's when he was suddenly yanked away, and Harry looked up to see a furious-

"Draco!" He cried, throwing himself at the blond, "He-I was in the library and-"

"Go to our rooms and wait for me," Draco said in a quiet voice that brooked no arguments, "I will deal with Smith and meet you there. Theo! Blaise! Make sure he makes it there without any problems." The two dark-haired Slytherins nodded and fell into step on either side of Harry, who bowed his head and allowed them to guide him back to his room; Draco was furious, and Harry was frightened of what his fiancé would do, not only to Smith, but to him.

'Stupid, interfering Hufflepuff,' Harry thought darkly; Draco had just begun to trust him again, and now it was all ruined…

"Ah, Mr. Potter!" Harry looked up at the headmaster's cheerful voice, "Just the one I was looking for. Come up to my office, will you?"

"I-I need to go back to my room," Harry protested, shooting a panicked look at Blaise and Theo who merely gazed back expressionlessly, "Someone tried to attack me, and Draco wants me to be safe so-"

"I really must insist Harry," Dumbledore said, "Your friends may wait for you outside, but I have important news to share with you." He placed a strong hand on Harry's shoulder and led him towards his office; as the stone gargoyle leapt out of the way Harry looked over his shoulder to see Blaise staring at them while Theo was walking back in the direction they had come from, obviously to tell Draco about what had happened.

"Now my boy, Lemon Drop?" Harry shook his head wordlessly, "Very well; Harry, I have some very grave news for you. You'll remember we discussed horcruxes?"

"Yes, sir," Harry replied.

"Well, it seems Voldemort knows that we are aware of his horcruxes," Dumbledore continued, "and he has also discovered that you are one; my sources say that he instructed Draco to get you to be with him as a way of controlling you."

"Sir, I don't understand," Harry frowned, "Wouldn't Voldemort just kill me?"

"No," Dumbledore shook his head, "Now that he knows you carry a piece of his soul in you he will protect you as dearly as he protects his own life; since Lucius was able to get the prophesy for him, he decided to reward the Malfoys' by giving you to Draco. Once you are bonded, everything you own will belong to young Draco; that is why I beg you to let me help you break the bond! I have seen how Mr. Malfoy treats you, the bruises and the insults, and since you and Voldemort essentially share a soul he can do so much to hurt you without risking your death."

"I-I don't believe you," Harry shook his head in denial, "Draco would never do that; he loves me! He never hurt me until you and Smith interfered, so this is your fault! Stay away from me Dumbledore!" Harry drew his wand and sent a hex at the headmaster and then turned around and ran from the office before he could see if it hit.

"Blaise!" Harry panted as he practically ran into the Slytherin, "I-I need to-get away-Dumbledore mad!"

"Then let's go Potter," Blaise said calmly, "Draco asked me to wait for you; he was very upset to find out that you didn't do as he said, and he will get angrier the longer you keep him waiting." Harry nodded wordlessly and followed Blaise back to his and Draco's room. "Potter?" Blaise stopped him just before Harry went in, "If you ever tell Draco I said this I will deny it, but you should consider accepting Dumbledore's help." Having said that Blaise turned and left, so Harry had no choice but to enter his room. He gave the password and stepped inside, only to find that the sitting room was dark-the only light came from their bedroom upstairs.

"Draco?" Harry called softly as he climbed the stairs, "I need to tell you what Dumbledore-ah!" Harry cried out in surprise and pain as he was yanked harshly into the bedroom and slammed against the wall; he looked up into glacial eyes and gulped fearfully-yes, Draco was seriously pissed and he, Harry, was about to pay for it…

"It's no use Severus," Remus said tiredly as the potions master tried throwing another hex at the door; just like the other times he tried casting a spell, Severus' wand didn't emit so much as a spark; "The only reason they let us keep our wands is because this cell has been magic-proofed; this whole thing was nothing but a trap."

"Orchestrated by Dumbledore no doubt," Severus agreed scowling, "How he managed to convince Greyback to help him though, I have no idea. Blasted meddling fool!" He kicked over the wooden bench by the wall, desperately wishing his wand worked so that he could blast it into a million pieces. "We need to find Harry; there's no telling if he's injured, or how much danger he's in-if Dumbledore would work with the werewolves' what is to stop him from betraying Harry to the Dark Lord?"

"I doubt he would turn Harry over to Voldemort," Remus tried to calm Severus, "He most likely arranged all of this so that he could have a chance to convince Harry to listen to him; he probably staged Harry's disappearance and then arranged to get us out of the way so that we couldn't interfere."

"That may be true," Severus mused, "Of course, that doesn't make this situation any better; if Dumbledore wanted to get us out of the way so that we are unable to influence Harry he would most likely try to get rid of Draco as well."

"Not to mention Narcissa and Sirius," Remus frowned, "Sirius is probably confronting Dumbledore right now-I hope Narcissa can make him keep his temper, or at least cast a silencing charm on him; there's no telling what Dumbledore might do if Sirius makes him angry enough."

Severus didn't respond, and Remus saw that he was pacing, moving his lips silently as he worked through an idea.

"Of course!" Severus cursed under his breath, "Dumbledore knew Parkinson was in the school-remember how hard he fought to prevent him from getting a trial? Dumbledore managed to get Parkinson's trial pushed back two years-which he will be spending in Azkaban; he obviously did not want Lord Parkinson to inform the ministry that Dumbledore allowed him into the school!"

"But why would he let him in in the first place?" Remus questioned, "And when did he let Parkinson in? Has something else happened?"

"Yes, I forgot to mention it in the rush to locate Harry," Severus admitted, "Earlier today Harry and Draco each encountered people impersonating their friends; Parkinson impersonated Blaise, but whoever was impersonating Luna managed to get away before we could discover their identity. The imposters seemed to be focused on driving a wedge between Harry and Draco, and almost succeeded; Draco was nearly convinced that Harry had been cheating on him with Ginerva Weasley. Parkinson was arrested, but the fake Luna was still on the loose when I left; she may have played a part in Harry's disappearance."

"This doesn't make any sense!" Remus growled in frustration, "Why would Dumbledore work with Death Eater's and werewolves'? Dammitt! We need to get out of here and make sure everyone is safe!"

"We will find a way," Severus assured him, "They will open the door eventually and we must be ready for them. Luckily, I never depend on my wand alone." Severus reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a vial filled with a smoky-looking potion. "I need a drop of your blood Remus." The werewolf looked confused, but complied with the request; he pulled a small dagger out of his boot and used it to prick his finger before allowing a single drop to fall into the vial. "I added a drop of my blood when I brewed the potion," Severus informed him, placing the cork back in place and shaking the vial, "This is a Secrecy Potion; it will muffle the senses of anyone who tries to spy on us-adding our blood makes us immune to the effects of the potion." Having said this Severus promptly threw the vial at the wall and it shattered; a smoky grey fog filled the room for a few moments before settling along the edges of the floor, walls and ceiling.

"So now we are secure?" Remus questioned and Severus nodded.

"Yes; this is a potion that I just recently developed," he explained, "Neither Dumbledore nor the Dark Lord are aware of its existence. Now; here are a few offensive potions I created." He pulled several vials out of his robe and handed them to Remus, explaining what each of them did. There was a potion to create a blinding light, freezing and burning potions, potions to mimic the cruciatus curse, the body-bind hex, jelly-legs jinx, several knock-out potions as well as numerous others that would mimic specific hexes and curses. Severus had Remus add a drop of blood to each potion; Severus had created his arsenal of potions to be safe to his allies, while causing maximum damage to his enemies.

"Well, this will help when they open the door," Remus admitted, "but what if they leave us in here until the full moon? Without the wolfsbane potion I'm sure I will attack you."

"Which is why I brought this," Severus smirked as he held up a small vial, "This potion, once I take it, will cause me to smell like pack to any werewolf that comes across me, and it lasts for five days just to be safe." He uncorked the vial and downed the potion before placing the empty bottle back in his pocket.

"Now comes the hard part," Remus sighed, "This is where we wait for them to make a move, right?"

"Perhaps," Severus said slyly as he tilted another vial in his hands, the small overhead light caught gold and red flecks in the purple potion, "Or-we could always do this on our own terms. Ready Lupin?"

"No time like the present," Remus replied with a wolfish grin; he slipped behind Severus and watched as his old school nemesis threw the vial at the cell door where it exploded on impact…

AN: Okay, so lots of scene-jumping and mini-cliffhangers in this chapter. I hope that this chapter cleared up some of the confusion from the previous chapter; the main question people seemed to have was concerning Harry, so to explain: The potion that Harry inadvertently drank during Quidditch practice reacted badly with the contraceptive potion, causing him to pass out and now he is in a sort of coma. The events that have happened to him are all in his mind; I'll give you three guesses as to who is manipulating his thoughts and the first two don't count, lol. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, and I will update again as soon as I can. Till next time!
