Werewolf Remodel

Last Time:

"Shut up!" Remus snapped confusing the poor bleeding wizard. "Albus told me Sirius was dead and that you people killed him after he tried to save Harry. I won't fall for your tricks!"

"Albus told you I was dead ..." Sirius murmured in disbelief as his friend prepared to attack him again ...

The manor started shaking under the werewolf's very unstable angry magic. Everyone could tell something was wrong with this magic. It almost seemed amplified and, for lack a better word, irritated. There was something more than pure anger at work here, but no one had a chance to figure out what.that was before being blown backwards. Several of them went flying over furniture or were crushed into a wall.

"Where's Harry?! I smell his blood so don't lie!" Remus roared.

Lucius winced as he tried to stand as Bellatrix sent the couch flying back at Remus, "What is he talking about?! Harry is at school!" Lucius yelled over the sound of the sound of things being thrown and ultimately destroyed by the werewolf.

Alecto kneeled behind a wall to take cover, "That's his fault!" She yelled and pointed accusingly at her twin brother.

Amycus winced as he felt several eyes on him, "It was Remus actually ... or at least a stray spell from one of us. Harry put his blood on Vesta to help lead Remus away, but as we were getting ready to jump and apparate him here ..." he reached into his pocket gently and pulled out the small fluffy limp form of a black fox. "I couldn't leave her in the Forbidden Forest. She's only stunned, but still has Harry's blood on her."

Blaise cast a strong shield charm to block a fire spell, "If she's here what's happening at Hogwarts?"

"We have enough to worry about right now." Narcissa exclaimed, albeit not without a hint of concern for Harry and Tom. However, they all needed to focus or there'd be no one to help those at Hogwarts ...

Poppy puffed up her chest and stared the headmaster and Aurors down, "The story won't change in a few hours. You can all wait to question him until the morning! Is that understood?"

"... umm yes, I'm sure we can return later." One Auror said nervously.

"Could I stay with him?" Sam asked as he looked at Harry with worry.

Dumbledore smiled, "I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem, but could you tell the Aurors anything about what happened?"

Sam frowned, "There was a fog so I didn't see much, but a group of people definitely attacked us ... and there was a mad man running around attacking them. I think he was trying to protect Harry, but he disappeared by the time the fog lifted ... Harry was hit when he tried to protect me. I ... I thought some were dead." He said playing the innocent young wizard very well.

"A mad man, you say ... hmm," One Auror hummed before glancing at the other Aurors. "The bodies you thought you saw might've been an illusion because we didn't find any bodies. They just turned tail and ran basically. We should search for the attackers. We'll return tomorrow to ask for any other details. Please recover well." They said before bowing and leaving.

Dumbledore placed a hand on Sam's shoulder, "You try to rest too, ok?"

"Of course, headmaster." Sam said, but his timid smile vanished the second they were alone. (Did the golems dissolve when we walked too far away?) He pondered after making a mental connection with Harry.

An equally confused Harry frowned, (They must've. Did Severus and Quirinus even see them? ... if no one thinks the attackers are dead ...)

(They'll hunt- ... he wants you to be the motivation for a massive search.) Tom thought furious for not seeing it sooner.
