The scene shifted they were in the same forest, but it was dry, and the sun was setting staining the sky orange. Greyback was sat with his younger self in his arms looking very grim. Romula was holding one of his little hands.
‘We have to do this,’ Greyback said.
‘I know,’ Romula said eyes hard.
Greyback placed his mouth around his jaw around little Remus’ arm and bit down so as he transformed, he was still biting Remus. The little cub howled in pain as his father let him go. Both his mother and father licked the wound clean.
‘What was that about?’ demanded Minerva.
Remus grimaced, ‘wereborn are considered diseased creature – the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures will put them down. By biting me they can claim I was human-born and then turned into a werewolf.’
‘So, he was protecting you?’ Minerva asked.
Remus nodded.
‘I wonder how many other wereborn he has done that to,’ Flitwick said darkly. ‘It would certainly go some way to explain his reputation for biting children. I wonder how many of those children are wereborn protected by Greyback.’
‘He told me that in the war,’ Remus gulped. ‘I didn’t believe him about anything. I should have listened.’
The three of them fell silent as the scene move once again. They were on a pebbly beach on a bright spring day. Greyback was foraging for cockles down towards the sea front. Remus looked around for his mother before spotting her towards the caves where she and other members of her packing were setting up their base. Then a shout came.
‘HUNTERS!’
‘TAKE THE CUBS AND MOVE TO THE BACK UP DEN!’ Greyback shouted.
