A MOMENT LATER, MADAM POMFREY CAME STRIDING BACK OUT OF HER OFFICE.

"Did I hear the headmaster leaving? Am I allowed to look after my patients now?" She was in a very bad mood. Coventina and Antares thought it best to accept their chocolate quietly. Madam Pomfrey stood over them, making sure they ate it. they heard a distant roar of fury echoing from somewhere above them.

"She looks so done with all of them. Its really funny." Chuckles Dorcas.

"What was that?" said Madam Pomfrey in alarm. Now they could hear angry voices, growing louder and louder. Madam Pomfrey was staring at the door.

"Really? they'll wake everybody up! What do they think they're doing?"
Aelora was trying to hear what the voices were saying. They were drawing nearer.

"Oh eavesdropping now?"

"He must have disapparated, Severus. We should have left somebody in the
room with him. When this gets out --"
"HE DIDN'T DISAPPARATE!" Snape roared, now very close at hand.

"I helped him. Is that a problem Severus Snape?" Taunts Achilles with a grin on
his face.

Snape scowled.

"YOU CAN NOT APPARATE OR DISAPPARATE INSIDE THIS CASTLE! THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH POTTER!" "Severus, be reasonable the girl has been locked up-"

BAM.

The door of the hospital wing burst open. Fudge, Snape, and Dumbledore came striding into the ward. Dumbledore alone looked calm. Fudge appeared angry. But Snape was beside himself.

"Why. Why are they still alive?"

"OUT WITH IT, POTTER!" he bellowed. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"Don't. Shout. At. My. Granddaughter." Gritted out Abraxas who looks ready
to hurt Snape with a powerful hex.

Fleamont nods agreeing.

"Professor Snape!" shrieked Madam Pomfrey. "Control yourself!" "See here, Snape, be reasonable," said Fudge. "This door's been locked, we just saw-"

"THEY HELPED HIM ESCAPE, I KNOW IT!" Snape howled, pointing at Coventina and Antares. His face was twisted; spit was flying from his mouth.

"Disgusting."

"That man is crazy he is obsessed with Sirius! Get that crazy man out!" No need to say that Aelora was enjoying herself.

"Face of an angel, mind of a devil."

"I love her!"

"I am totally her crush."

"In your dream!"

"Calm down, man!" Fudge barked. "You're talking nonsense!" "YOU DON'T KNOW POTTER!" shrieked Snape. "SHE DID IT, I KNOW SHE DID IT-"

"As if he truly even know me." Whispers Coventina quietly. "Even I don't know myself."

"That will do, Severus," said Dumbledore quietly. "Think about what you are saying. This door has been locked since
I left the ward ten minutes ago. Madam Pomfrey, have these students left their beds?"

"At least you still have a brain, Albus." Mocked Achilles

"Of course not!" said Madam Pomfrey, bristling. "I would have heard them!" "Well, there you have it, Severus," said Dumbledore calmly. "Unless you are suggesting that they are able to be in two places at once, I'm afraid I don't see any point in troubling them further."

Snape stood there, seething, staring from Fudge, who looked thoroughly
shocked at his behavior, to Dumbledore, whose eyes were twinkling behind his glasses. Snape whirled about, robes swishing behind him, and stormed out of the ward.

"Fellow seems quite unbalanced," said Fudge, staring after him. "I'd watch out for him if I were you, Dumbledore.""Oh, he's not unbalanced," said Dumbledore quietly. "He's just suffered a severe disappointment." "He's not the only one!" puffed Fudge.

"Good then." Sirius grins. Being a disappontment was his work after
all.

"The Daily Prophet's going to have a field day! We had Black cornered and he slipped through our fingers yet again! All it needs now is for the story of that hippogriff's escape to get out, and I'll be a laughingstock! Well... I'd better go and notify the Ministry....."

Coventina frowns. Hippogrip's escape?

Granger!

"Well even she had a soft spot for the animal.

"I want a locket that turn back time!"

"And the dementors?" said Dumbledore. "They'll be removed from the school, I trust?" "Oh yes, they'll have to go," said Fudge, running his fingers distractedly through his hair. "Never dreamed they'd attempt to administer the Kiss on an innocent boy... Completely out of control no, I'll have them packed off back to Azkaban tonight.... Perhaps we should think about dragons at the school entrance...."

"Innocent boy? Bitch please are they talking about 'dead Peter'?" Scoffed
Mary.

"Hagrid would like that," said Dumbledore, smiling. As he and Fudge left the dormitory, Madam Pomfrey hurried to the door and locked it again. Muttering angrily to herself, she headed back to her office. There was a low moan from the other end of the ward. Draco had woken up.

They could see him sitting up, rubbing his head, looking around. "Wh-what happened?" he groaned. "Cousin? Why are we in here? Where's Sirius? Where's aunty Remina?"

The fallen angels looked at each other and chuckles. "It's a long story!"

"You three most probably deserve all of your titles." Comments Delphina.

"Hate to agree." Sulks Draco.

When Coventina, Antares and Draco left the hospital wing at noon the next day, it was to find an almost deserted castle. The sweltering, heat and the end of the exams meant that every- one was taking full advantage of another Hogsmeade visit. None of them were interest.

A shadow fell across them and they looked 'tip to see a very bleary-eyed
Hagrid, mopping his sweaty face with one of his tablecloth-sized hand- kerchief and beaming down at them. "Know I shouldn' feel happy after what happened las' night," he said.

"I mean, Black escapin' again, an, everythin' -- but guess what?" "What?" they said, pretending to look curious. "Beaky! He escaped! He's free! Bin celebratin' all night!"

"You know, Granger is not so bad if
she was not so stuck up and cling
with Weasley." Draco sighs.

"Hm."

"That's wonderful!" said Granger who was sitting a few meters away from Coventina.  "Yeah... can't've tied him up properly," said Hagrid, gazing happily out over the grounds. "I was worried this mornin', mind... thought he mighta met Professor Lupin on the grounds, but Lupin says she never ate anythin'
las' night...."

"What?" said Coventina quickly "Blimey, haven' yeh heard?" said Hagrid, his smile fading a little. He lowered his voice, even though there was nobody in sight. "Er Snape told all the Slytherins this mornin'.... Thought everyone'd know by now... Professor Lupin's a werewolf, see. An' she was loose on the grounds las' night.... She's packin' now, o' course."

"LET ME GET HIM!" Growls Sirius angrily. "I AM GOING TO SCRATCH HIS UGLY FACE. HOW DARE YOU? WANNA DIE?" He gritted out being hold up by James and Marlene who too look angry.

"Disgusting..."

"Not gonna lie, thats mean, I love miss Lupin as a professor in the future. She seems even better than future Snape." Mutters a Ravenclaw softly.

"She's packing?" said Coventina alarmed. "Damn you Snivellus!"

"Well said!"

Remina's office door was open. She had already packed most of her things. The grindylow's empty tank stood next to her battered old suitcase, which was open and nearly full. Remina was bending over something on her desk and looked up only when Coventina knocked on the door.

"I saw you coming," said Remina, smiling. She pointed to the parchment she had been poring over. It was the Marauder's Map. "I just saw Hagrid," said Coventina. "And he said you'd resigned. It's not true, is it?"

Remina chuckles, she loved the relationship she will have with Coventina, she could see that Marlene was dying of jealousy as she pouted.

Need to say that Rabastan the sight.

"Idiot in love." Mocks his older brother.

"I'm afraid it is," said Remina. She started opening his desk drawers and
taking out the contents. "Why?" said Remina "The Ministry of Magic don't think you were helping Sirius, do they?

Remina crossed to the door and closed
it behind Coventina. "No. Professor Dumbledore managed to convince Fudge that I was trying to save your lives." He sighed. "That was the final straw for Severus. I think the loss of the Order of Merlin hit him hard. So he accidentally let slip that I am a werewolf this morning at breakfast."

"I don't think that it was accidental though." Franks sneers. He too among others was angry.

"You're not leaving just because of that do not lie." said Coventina. Remina smiled wryly. "This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving from parents.... They will not want a werewolf teaching their children, Cub. And after last night, I see their point. I could have bitten any of you.... That must never happen again."

Antares rolls his eyes. His mother should have let him know. He would have just 'imperio' everyone and she would have keep her job.

She carried on emptying her drawers. Then, while Coventina was trying to think of a good argument to make her stay, Remind said, "From what the headmaster told me this morning, you saved a lot of lives last night, Cub. if I'm proud of anything I've done this year, it's how much you've learned...Tell me about your Patronus." "How d'you know about that?" said Coventina distracted.

"What else could have driven the dementors back?" Coventina told Remina what had happened. When
she'd finished, Remina was smiling
again.

"It was a dragon, a beautiful dragon." She smiled.

"A majestic one!"

"Scary but still divine."

"How strange, oh, your father was always a stag when he transformed," he said. "That's why we called him Prongs." Remina threw her last few books into her case, closed the desk drawers, and turned to look at Coventina.

"Here, I brought this from the Shrieking Shack last night," she said, handing Coventina back the Invisibility Cloak. "And..." she hesitated, then held out the Marauder's Map too. "I am no longer your teacher, so I don't feel guilty about giving you back this as well. It's no use to me, and I dare say you, and Antares will find uses for it."

"Have you done any pranks?" Detective Sirius question his tone is a very Sirius
way.

"Yes, cruel but still pranks." Shrugs Antares.

Aerys sneers, she through many others knows of Antares' 'pranks'. Aa long as it brought him pleasure and satisfaction, it
would be pass as a prank.

Coventina took the map and grinned. "You told me Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs would've wanted to lure me out of school... you said they'd have thought it was funny." "And so we would have," said Remina, now reaching down to close her case.

"Aww."

"Give me me."

"Me and my mommy issues can't understand."

Regulus and Sirius shares a look at that comment soon Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa were too looking at each other.

"I have no hesitation in saying that James will be highly disappointed if his daughter had never found any of the secret passages out of the castle."

"You know-?" Remina shushed her as she pointed at the door. There was a knock on the door. Coventina hastily stuffed the Marauder's Map and the Invisibility Cloak into her pocket. It was Professor Dumbledore. He didn't look surprised to see her there.

"YoU kNoW?" Repeat an Hufflepuff in funny tone.

"Your carriage is at the gates, Remina," he said. "Thank You, Headmaster." Remina picked up his old suitcase and the empty grindylow tank. "Well see you, sweetie." she said, smiling. "It has been a real pleasure teaching you. I feel sure we'll meet again sometime. Head- master, there is no need to see me
to the gates, I can manage...."

Coventina had the impression that Remina wanted to leave as quickly
as possible.

"Ouch." Pouts Aelora whose hair was being braid by Anastacius. "Sorry, but you move too much." He says firm.

"Good-bye, then," said Dumbledore soberly. Remina shifted the grindy
low tank slightly so that she and Dumbledore could shake hands. Then, with a final nod to Coventina and a swift smile, "Take care of my stubborn son for me." She chuckles and left the office.

Coventina let out a sigh and nod. She left right after her. She didn't want to pass another minutes with Dumbledore.

"Good decision!" Cheers Evan.

Nobody at Hogwarts now knew the truth of what had happened the night that Sirius, Buckbeak, and Pettigrew had vanished except the fallen angels, the Black cousins. As the end of term approached, Coventina heard many different theories about what had really happened, but none of them came close to the truth.

Percy Weasley, meanwhile, had
much to say on the subject of Sirius's escape. "If I manage to get into the Ministry, I'll have a lot of proposals
to make about Magical Law Enforce- ment!" he told the only person who would listen- his girlfriend, Penelope. Though the weather was perfect, though the atmosphere was so cheerful.

Molly nods she was that her son would make it. She ould help him in any ways
possible.

The whole of Coventina's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was miserable about Remina resignation.

Remina smiles.

Euphemia chuckles.

"Wonder what they'll give us next year?" said Seamus Finnigan gloomily. "Maybe
a vampire," suggested Dean Thomas hopefully.

"Maybe."

The exam results came out on the last day of term. The three lions and three snakes had passed every subject. Aelora was amazed that she had got through Potion. Snape's behavior toward Coventina over the past week had been quite alarming. She wouldn't have thought it possible that Snape's dislike for her could increase, but it certainly had.

"I swear if that foolish mommy and daddy issues man lay his hand on my daughter, I will cut off his fingers one by one and sent it as a gift to his parents." Achilles muses in his mind.

James was disappointed to see that Lily would be so blind to still stay with
Snape after everythung he was doing.

A muscle twitched unpleasantly at the corner of Snape's thin mouth every time he looked at her, and he was constantly flexing his fingers, as though itching to place them around Coventina's throat.

Percy had got his top-grade N.E.W.T.s; Fred and George had scraped a handful of O.W.L.s each. Gryffindor House, mean while, largely thanks to their spectacular performance in the Quidditch Cup, had won the House championship for the third year running. This meant that
the end  of term feast took place amid decorations of scarlet and gold, and that the Gryffindor table was the noisiest of the lot, as everybody celebrated.

The Gryffindors started cheering with a plastered on their face. Only Coventina knew that if Antares was not so lazy, he would probably beat them in that.

Then again he was lazy.

As the Hogwarts Express pulled out of the station the next morning, "Let's hope to see each other at a ball?" Delphina smiled. Aelora nodded eagerly. "Would be so cool!"

"Black, wake up." Coventina was merciful enough to allow Antares to
lay his head on her lap to sleep. "No,
five minutes more." At his answer, a thud was hear. Antares groaned laying on the dirty floor. "Hello..." He sulked.

"Seastar looking so cute right now."

"Finally a scene with them being free."

"I want that type of guy."

"Don't be a baby, who know, I might send you another gift for yule." She grined. "Don't give me false hope!" He pouted.

Alphard snickers, which turn into a groan as he noticed that his bottle of wine run out already.

Coventina wonders how the Black are still so rich. Alphard was literraly finishing his own vault.

Soon enough each group was at their own home and was warmly greet by their family. Coventina, Aelora and Anastacius was happily greet by Sirius who decided to later visit his son who glared at him the all time.

"I am not surprise." Smiles Regulus.

While Antares was glaring like a raven
at his own father, Draco was getting scolded by his mother for getting hurted and Anastacius was being spoiled with books by his siblings.
