You're the saviour now

Ch26.Alone

The two men sat in the mud in silence for a few minutes. Harry picked a blade of grass and fiddled with it. Draco stared at his shoes. They weren't as nice as he thought they were before. The laces trailed across the forest ground. Draco took his wand from his pocket and pointed it to the side of his head. "Obliv-" Harry quickly noticed. "Protego!" He shouted in panic. Luckily the charm shielded Draco just in time. Draco knew that his plan failed, which triggered him bawling out again. "What the hell are you doing!?" Harry screeched. "Did you seriously think that would solve the mess you're in? Draco no, you're not going to do that." Harry grabbed the blond's wrists in his hands. "Look at me." He demanded. Draco squirmed to get free. "Get your hand off of me this instant." He fought back. Harry soothed his words. "Dragon, look at me." Draco relaxed and focused on Harry's emerald green eyes. "If you think it's the right thing to do, you can leave, but just let me help you sort yourself out." Harry smiled and rubbed the side of Draco's face with his thumb. "You've got dirt on you're face...'Mud'foy." Harry laughed as Draco rubbed the mud over the rest of his face. "I'm sorry Harry, I mean I really am. I-" Draco was cut off by the sound of footsteps. "What's that?" Harry panicked. They quickly got to their feet and drew their wands in the direction of the noise. The footsteps got closer and closer. Then suddenly Petrus popped out from behind a tree. "What the hell! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Draco placed his spare hand on his chest. Harry frowned, "where's Teddy? We need to talk." He said trying to be serious but failed and was smiling madly. "I don't know. He was behind me a minute ago." He turned around. "We were...oh." He began laughing. "We were running. He can't be far." Harry and Draco looked at each other. "I'll go look for him. You and Petrus get back to the house, it's getting dark. Don't worry Harry, I won't ditch, Petrus can make sure of that. I'll find Teddy and we'll come back to the house, okay?" Harry nodded in response. Petrus and Harry made their way back to the house while Draco searched for Teddy.

"Teddy! Where are you!? Ted it's getting dark! Teddy! Teddy!" Draco looked up in the sky. Full moon. Terror washed over Draco's face. He'd now wished that he never shouted because now a strangely coloured werewolf was running towards him. "Why me?" He scattered around and ran as fast as he could. The giant creature was gaining on him, if he ran back to the house he would put everyone else in danger, he didn't know how to drive and if he stops now he'll be ripped to shreds. So he kept running, away from the house. Draco knew soon that he would run out of breath.

"Harry, Draco's still not back with Ted." Petrus spoke up. Hermione sat in an armchair with a hot mug of tea, Harry and Petrus playing wizard chest beside to the fire while Ron sat next to the window. "Harry!" Ron squealed. "Harry it's full moon! Harry!" He scattered around franticly, pointing at the bright moon in the sky. "What!?" Harry shouted as everyone ran over to the window. "Harry, Draco's out there!" Petrus whimpered. "Teddy will kill him!"
"What are we going to do? Teddy's not registered as a werewolf at the ministry yet, if anyone gets hurt, he'll be locked away." Hermione stepped in, delicately placing her hand over her mouth. Ron glared at Harry shocking his head. "You can't Harry, it may have worked last time but it might not this time. It's too risky. What is it now his third full moon? Like Remus, he'll become more werewolf each moon. As much as I like Draco now, we can't risk the rest of our safety." It pained Ron to say such selfish things but he couldn't bare to see Harry endanger them anymore. "So your saying we just sit here, let Teddy deal with the fact that he has Draco's blood on his hands for the rest of his life. Hermione?" Harry looked at Hermione for some backup. "Ron does have a point Harry. We can't be doing this kind of thing anymore. Rose spent the first few months of her life with out me, I don't want her to spend anymore months without her mother, or father for that matter. As much as I want to help, I have to back down for the protection of my family." Hermione marched into the kitchen, out of the way. "I'm sorry Harry." Ron followed his wife into the other room.
"I'll help you. I can see where Draco is. I can distract Teddy, I am faster than him after all." Petrus gulped, hoping his facts were true. "Let's save them, then this nightmare will be over."

Draco was becoming more exhausted by the minute. He'd managed to lose the werewolf for a couple minutes but was afraid to stop just in case he was spotted by the beast again.

Harry and Petrus ran as fast as they could through the twisting forest.
"Draco!"
"Teddy!"
No answers were heard. "Draco!" Harry shouted. "Petrus do one of your vision thingys." Petrus frowned at the older man then closed his eye, leaving 'Draco's' open. As they ran past a stream. "I don't know where he is, we're all in a forest. Trees, trees is all he sees...wait lights in the distance, a busy muggle road." Harry's eyes widened. "Is Teddy behind him!?" A long pause before Petrus answered. "No not at the moment." They stopped. "Then where is he?"
"Harry look out!" A huge beast-like animal pounced out from behind the thorn bushes. It tackled Harry to the ground, snarling and biting at the poor wizard. "Harry!" Petrus squealed. "Ted stop! Stop it, stop it! You're going to kill him!" He sprinted over to the large wolf and began pushing the side of it. "Teddy stop, you can't kill him." He faced the beast. "Look at me!" The wolf stopped and scowled at Petrus. He became nervous after seeing Harry unconscious under one of Teddy's heavy paws. "Now you look at me, Teddy Lupin. I'm your boyfriend, does that mean anything to your cold heart? I know it's getting harder for you to control and we were off guard this moon. But you need to realise what you're doing. Chasing Draco, hurting Harry. Ted you need to wake up." The wolf growled a little and slowly prowled towards Petrus. The young wizard took a few steps back. "Teddy you stop right there. Don't take another step closer." Teddy didn't listen and continued to walk towards Him.
