"Look, it's Lupin," the three kids whispered as their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher approached the Whomping Willow. "Immobulus!"

They waited a few more seconds, and soon enough, Snape made his way there too.

"And there's Sev."

"And now we wait," Harry sighed, as the three of them sat down on the forest ground.

"And now we wait," Ophelia repeated tiredly, resting her head on Harry's shoulder as she closed her eyes.

"Girls?"

"Yeah?" Ophelia and Hermione answered at the same time.

"Before, down by the lake, when I was with Sirius and Lia... I did see someone. That someone made the Dementors go away. With a Patronus."

Ophelia looked up at Harry, still leaning on his shoulder. "I heard Sev talking to Dumbledore, and according to him, only a really powerful wizard could have conjured it," she recalled, remembering the conversation she had overheard.

"It was my dad. My dad conjured the Patronus."

"Harry, but your dad's..."

"Dead. I know. I'm just telling you what I saw," Harry interrupted Hermione.

"Look, here we come," Harry said as Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked out. Soon after, Remus, Ophelia, and Pettigrew joined. Ophelia sat up straight to see her father.

"You see Sirius talking to me and Lia there? He's asking us to come live with him," Harry told Hermione, smiling. Ophelia also smiled at the comment.

"That's great," Hermione smiled at both of them.

"When we free him, I'll never have to go back to the Dursleys'. It'll just be me, Lia, and him." Ophelia laughed at the sweet boy.

"We could live in the country... someplace where you can see the stars in the sky," Ophelia joined in on the daydreaming.

"He'll like that after all those years in Azkaban."

"Harry! Run!"

"O! Get back!"

They all looked back at the scene before them. Lupin had transformed into a werewolf and was attacking them.

"Let's go," Harry said, pulling the girls along with him.

They ran through the woods to get a better look at when Harry faced the werewolf alone. They saw as it slowly approached Harry, with nothing in its way to stop him. Harry was vulnerable. The werewolf was going to kill him.

Just as the wolf was about to attack, Ophelia did the first thing that came to mind and howled, remembering the class Sev gave on werewolves and how Draco and she made fun of the howling.

Harry stopped Ophelia, looking at her as if she had gone crazy. "What are you doing?"

"She's saving your life," Hermione answered for her as Ophelia howled once again, finally gaining the wolf's attention.
