Guys,
There as been a mix up in the previous chapters. I have corrected it. So read them again.
.....
Remus Lupin woke with the familiar morning after pains of his transformation. He winced as he struggled to sit up. Oddly, he didn't feel as stiff as most of these mornings. A holdover result from taking wolfsbane the past several months? Maybe.
"Hey Moony! You're awake!"
Remus turned his head slightly to see a grinning Sirius Black sitting with his back to the wall. Remus realized he was back in the Shrieking Shack in the room they had confronted Peter.
"Merlin, I hate morning people," Remus groaned.
Sirius slid a potion bottle towards his friend. "Here. Harry's little friend thought to send this out for you. A pain relief potion with a muscle relaxant. Just like Lily used to make!"
Remus hurt too much to snicker. Instead he drank down the potion Ms Granger had helpfully sent out.
After the potion was gone, Remus asked, "So, what happened?"
"You missed all the fun, Moony. I got to Oblivate Snape! Hope I didn't do too much. I am a bit rusty. Plus, we stunned poor little Peter a few times before Hermy and Ron took him to Dumbledore's office. Amelia has the bastard now. Like a pitbull that one. He was in official custody and questioned before Fudge even got wind of it. They've already called off the Dementors and the 'Kill on sight' order."
Remus returned Sirius's delighted smile with one of his own albeit mixed with pain. "That's great, Padfoot. But I meant with my change? Its jumbled but… is Harry a werewolf too?"
"Oh, that. Well, first you went all Captain Wolf-n-whine on us. I was all set to by the brave Gryffindor animagus and lead you off when Harry suddenly goes Wolfman Jack and bitch slaps you into being a good puppy. Then he took you into the Forbidden Forest to play."
Remus felt one of his greatest fears coming true. "So, he's infected too?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Not exactly," a familiar voice answered. Remus turned to see Harry entering the room with a box with some delicious odours coming from it. Harry set the box down on the floor and started to pull out plates with full breakfasts already served.
"I asked Dobby to bring these out. Figured you two could use them," he explained.
"That's the Lily in you. Prongs wasn't that smart," Padfoot announced as he grabbed a plate and started to eat.
Remus however was just looking at Harry with a scared expression. "Harry, can you explain what happened?"
Harry settled down against a different wall so Remus was on one side and Sirius was on the other. "Well, I was bitten when I was almost 9. The curse started to infect me but then it was like something in me was fighting it. "
Harry paused and smiled briefly. "Hermione researched what could have happened but found nothing. She hated that," he confided with a smirk. "When I woke up the next morning, I was starving and had black ichor of some type drying on my face and chest. It seems to have come out of my scar. It used to be bigger and bright red but now it's just the thin white scar you see now.
"Hermione tested me for Lycanthropy. The charm makes werewolves glow red. I was blue. The animagus detection charm does the same thing but I was green. Hermione's theory is that the lycanthropy somehow interacted with leftover Dark Magic from the Killing Curse and it made me a freak werewolf animagus. It really paid off with the basilisk last year. But the full moon means nothing to me and silver only gives me a rash. We don't know if my bite is infectious or not."
The two adult Marauders sat speechless in their places. Harry's casual revelations locked up their brains. A werewolf-animagus hybrid? And what did a basilisk have to do with his form?
It was Remus that finally managed to ask a rational question.
"And Dumbledore knows nothing about this?"
Harry shrugged. "The Headmaster has never spoken to me about it, but I wouldn't bet against his knowing. Ron, Hermione and two others are the only other ones I've told."
"And the wolf doesn't try to take over?" Remus asked curiously.
Harry shrugged again. "There isn't a divide between us really. Hermione calls it a symbiotic relationship but it isn't really. That is too separate. It's more like getting nudges from my subconscious but instead of a human subconscious it is one for the werewolf form. He really hates Snape and the Malfoys. Every time I have another run in I keep getting funny images of what the wolf wants to do to them."
Sirius grinned at the other two wizards. It looked a bit ghastly on the emaciated and dirty wizard but his eyes reflected his joy and excitement. Looking directly at Remus, he said, "Mr Moony, Mr Padfoot submits this young wizard as member of the Marauders. He has the animal shape and has shown his ability at pranking."
Remus laughed before schooling his face into a serious expression. "That is a serious request, Mr Padfoot. Being that the wizard in question has seen fit to prank me all year," Remus paused and threw a mock glare at Harry. "I would have to agree he meet both requirements. Do you have a name for our newest Marauder?"
"I submit 'Mr Jack'."
Remus nodded. "Representative of his form but not immediately apparent. I approve."
Sirius turned to Harry and said, "Welcome to the Marauders, Mr Jack."
