"Turn to page 394. "Snape says a he storms into the room and I look questionly at Harry who looks just as confused as I am.
"Excuse me, sir, but... where's Professor Lupin?"Harry asks Snape
"That's not really your concern, is it, Potter? Suffice it to say, your Professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time. Page 394." Snape says as he walks to the back of the room and I open up the book
"Werewolves?"Ron asks with a frown
"But, sir, we've only just begun learning about Red Caps and Hinkypunks"I tell Snape
"We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks"Mione adds
"Quiet!"Snape tells us
"When did she come in? Did you see her come in" Ron leans over to ask Harry
"Now. Which of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf"Snape asks us and Mione immediately raises her hand waiting desperately for someone to respond to Snape's question
"No one? How... disappointing"Snape mutters obviously ignoring Mione's hand on purpose
"Please, sir, an Animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice in the matter. Furthermore, the werewolf actively hunts humans and responds only to the call of its own kind"Mione explains to the class as Draco lets out a low howl
"Quiet, Malfoy! Though one must admit to feeling your pain. That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Tell me. Are you incapable of restraining yourself? Or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?"Snape asks Mione
"He's got a point, you know."Ron mutters to me but I ignore his comment
"Five points from Gryffindor!"Snape says before reading from the book "As a antidote to your ignorance, I prescribe two rolls of parchment on the werewolf by Monday morning, with particular emphasis placed on recognizing it. Passing notes, Potter?"Snape then says sand he snatches a piece of parchment from Harry
"Not exactly Picasso, are you? I hope you demonstrate more talent on the Quidditch pitch this weekend then you do as an artist.If not, I fear you'll perish, given the weather forecast. Until that time, however, you'll forgive me if I don't let you off homework. Should you die, I assure you... you need not hand it in." Snape tells Harry
Lightning Strikes lighting up the sky as it strikes one of the gold Quidditch rings and the clouds bloom with icy blue light. Far below, in the stands, rain lashes the sea of umbrellas as one flies free, soaring end over end into the sky, flying straight past me. I catch the quaffle that is chucked my way by Katie and I fly towards the goals where the Hufflepuff keeper is, I throw the quaffle into the goal successfuly as the Hufflepuff keeper narrowly misses it. The rain begins to come down harder and it feels like daggers of ice coming down upon us, I fly over to the twins just as I see a figure fall down from the sky and as it gets closer I realise it's Harry! Harry and broom tumble in opposite directions the Nimbus soars end over end, tossed by the currents, then drops right into the Whomping Willow. Harry, in freefall, drops through one cloud, then another.
"Looks a bit peaky, doesn't he?" Ron says as we gather around Harry who is still out as he lay in the hospital bed
"Peaky? What d'you expect him to look like? He fell fifty feet"Fred says to Ron
"Yeah, c'mon, Ron. We'll walk you off the Astronomy Tower and see how you come out looking"George suggests
"Probably a right sight better than he normally does." Harry says as he opens his eyes
"Harry! How're you feeling?" I ask him as he as edges up against his pillow
"Brilliant"Harry tells me
"Gave us a right good scare, mate"Fred tells him
"What happened?" Harry asks
"You fell off your broom"Ron tells him
"Really?" Harry asks sarcastically "meant the match. Who won?"Harry asks and we all exchange uncomfortable glances.
"No one blames you, Harry. The Dementors aren't meant to come on the grounds. Dumbledore was furious. After he saved you, he sent them straight off"Hermione explains to Harry
"There's something else you should know, Harry. Your Nimbus when it blew away? it sort of landed in the Whomping Willow. And well"Ron says as he tips a bag of splinted wood and twisted twigs onto the bed.
