Chapter 26 - 25

Iris pov

I sat in the courtyard letting the sun warm my skin. It was one of the oddly warm days but soon I will have to go into the dungeon. Looking down at the last vile I have to drink down. This will open some suppressed memories and hopefully give me the answers I am looking for. I was about to drink down the potion when Harmonie came beside me. "What is that?" She asked making me cough a bit after drinking it down. "Its a memory potion." I said placing the vile in my  pocket. "Why do you need that?" Shadow said from my left side, as he sat down. "As silly it may sound I recognize you sir name. I know you but don't remember how. If that makes any sense?" I said and he looked guilty about something. "Thats not silly at all Iris, we should get to our lesson come on Harmonie." He said pulling the young witch with him. This made me suspicious of him knowing something but before I could stand, A burst of energy floods my body making me gasp looking to the sky. A white light envelopes my vision before, I am standing in the old house in Godric hollow. I see my mother speaking with a woman. She was holding Harry laughing.  I feel like running up and hugging her telling her how much I miss her. I know I can't because this is only a memory. I see my dad and uncle Sirius and Remus walking in with me. "Oh James are you Serious?" Mum said shaking her head. Dad laughed "No he is Sirius and its fine I will go wash her up." I laughed seeing mom roll her eyes at his comment. "Fine go on I swear you better not corrupt her." She growled knowing full well I had him wrapped around my finger. A man who looks like an older version of Shadow laughed. "Come now you know full well that by having her around those three, she is already corrupt. She will be a handful can't wait to see what she will be like is school." Making the woman next to him giggle. "Oh Drake let us hope our Son will be a good influence on her then." She said softly rocking a small boy who I assume to be Shadow. "You are right Fae. Well I am glad you are all doing well. We must be off Shadow needs to be dropped off at his grandparents." Drake said making his way to the door. He gives me a side eye making me feel as if he can see me. My mom looked sad knowing something watching them leave. My dad comes down with me in a hand made red and gold jumper. Wait this is the Jumper I wore that night. Is this the night he came.  "Oh Iris you are not a boy stop ruff-housing" she sighs before uncle Sirius jumps in. "Ah don't stop her she will not let young wizards walk alover her. Thats what we are showing her what to do." He said only to be elbowed by Remus. "Come on love let her have fun she is a child after all." James said bouncing with me in his arms. This made me smile knowing how much he loved me. "James" she said shaking her head. "I will never win fine as long she isn't hurt." She said before laughing. I walked up to her and hugged her. "I love you mum and miss you so much." I said as the potion was pulling me back. "I know you do sweetie your father and I are so proud of you." She said before I could pull away and look at her I was back in the courtyard. I smile knowing she is always watching over me and Harry. I should probably head to my lesson then again I am late so I could head to the library. This way I can say lost track of time.

Harry pov

I walked into the Defense against the dark arts class room and sat down. The students all looked confused by the set up. That was till Professor Snape walked in. Shutting the windows."Turn to page 394." He said sounding annoyed as usual. "Excuse me, sir. Where's Professor Lupin?" I aske concerned "That's not really your concern, is it, Potter? Suffice it to say your professor finds himself incapable of teaching... ...at the present time. Turn to page 394 ." How is my sister able to put up with him? "Werewolves? Sir, we just learned about red caps and hinkypunks.  We're not meant to start that for weeks." Harmonie said out of the blue. "Quiet." Snape said in his normal distant tone. "When did she come in? Did you see her come in?" Ron asked but I pay him no mind. "Now, which one of you can tell me the difference... ...between an Animagus and a werewolf? No one? - How disappointing." Snape said ignoring Harmonie "Please, sir. An Animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice. With each full moon... ...he no longer remembers who he is. He'd kill his best friend. The werewolf only responds to the call of its own kind." Harmonie said only for Draco to howl. "Thank you, Mr. Malfoy. That's the second time... ...you've spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself... ...or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?" Snape said heartless as always. "He's got a point, you know." Ron said agreeing with Snape." At least she gave an answer unlike you weasley" Shadow said glaring at Ron. "Five points from Gryffindor. As an antidote to your ignorance, and on my desk, by Monday morning... ...two rolls of parchment on the werewolf, with emphasis... ...on recognizing it." Snape said I swear he enjoys making people miserable. "It's Quidditch tomorrow." I said looking up at Snape. "Then I suggest you take extra care, Mr. Potter. Loss of limb will not excuse you. Page  394. The term "werewolf"... ...is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word "wer"... ...which means "man," and "wolf." Werewolf, man-wolf. There are several ways to become a werewolf. They include being given the power of shape-shifting... ...being bitten by a werewolf." I stopped paying attention to the lesson thinking about the match between Gryffindor and  HufflePuff.
