“Heavens. Hasn’t that potion worn off yet?” Patricia approached the small group. “Not yet.” Veronica smiled broadly. “James has tried everything that Mom has in her bathroom to try and make it stop but nothing’s worked yet.” “That’s because Mum won’t give me the antidote.” James glared at Veronica while as she and Lily lifted their trunks onto the train.

Esmeralda held her hands out to the side as she bowed to the griffin. “Please, my friend, allow me to take the chains from thy neck.” The griffin shrieked again. “I promise to free thee.” Esmeralda slowly straightened as she reached for the chains clamped around the griffin’s neck. The chains clanked and clattered as they fell to the ground. She didn’t notice that Salazar Slytherin and Godric were moving toward her and the griffin but the griffin did. He reared up as Esmeralda released the chains. She fell back hard. “Esmeralda!” Godric and Salazar started to hurry toward the fallen woman.

James dropped several shampoo bottles on the common room table while Veronica watched from her perch on the window seat.

She knew that she needed to focus her time and energy on the fact that she was wanted by Voldemort, had to keep James and Sirius in line, do her studies, and spend time with her boyfriend, Remus. Remus would have understood if she wanted to stay on the team but Veronica felt that it was in her best interest to just give it up and get on with her studies and life, such as it was. She knew that the Potters would understand that she wanted to be good at what she did and her reasons for giving up on Quidditch. She waved at James who was hovering over the pitch as she entered.

Her fingers slid along Veronica’s hairline, looking for any bumps. Not finding any, she swiftly moved Veronica back over to Remus and made her way to the small patch of weeds in the alley. “Wolfsbane…Ah… Athelas.” She plucked the tiny white flower. “This should help her.” She gently ground the flower between her fingers and rubbed it along the inside of Veronica’s lips. “This is rarely found here.”

A roar echoed around Veronica as she watched a lioness walk toward her. The tawny fur shimmered slightly in the pale light coming from the fog. Its tail whipped from side to side as a large dark brown wolf jumped into the clearing. A small falcon landed on the wolf’s back. The wolf walked toward Veronica, who had knelt onto the ground. The wolf licked Veronica’s cheek as the falcon flew up and landed on Veronica’s shoulder. The falcon nipped lovingly at Veronica’s ear making her giggle. Veronica reached her right hand down to pet the lioness that had laid down to her right side. The wolf was sitting regally at her left side.

Veronica jumped from the window sill and followed Professor McGonagall out the door. She bounded down the stairs toward the Front Hall. She slid to a stop before the front doors and pawed at the ancient wood. Professor McGonagall pushed open the door and let the lioness out into the snow. Veronica raced across the frozen ground to where she had seen the deer and started to sniff looking for any scent. She pawed at the snow slightly when she heard barking coming toward her. Fang broke through the trees of the Forbidden Forest and tackled Veronica to the ground. Veronica swiped at him and jumped away.

“I guess not. Maybe Sirius put them in here.” James flipped open the book about werewolves to the page that Veronica had marked for him. “’Werewolves are only dangerous to humans. If a human were an animagus, they would not be harmed when a werewolf bites them. No one is sure if this is fact or fiction but many speculate that a werewolf will even adopt other humans into his or her pack with the werewolf as the Alpha male or female. If this were to happen, all others would be subjected to the whims and fancies of the Alpha werewolf.’” James laid the book onto the table and rummaged through his bag for a quill and parchment.
