"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Hermione screamed.
Lupin let go of Black and turned to her. She had raised herself off the floor and was pointing at Lupin, wild-eyed. "You- you-"
"Hermione-"
"-you and him!"
"Hermione, calm down-"
"I didn't tell anyone!" Hermione shrieked. "I've been covering up for you-"
"Hermione, listen to me, please!" Lupin shouted, "I can explain-"
Harry could feel himself shaking, not with fear, but with a fresh wave of fury.
"I trusted you," he shouted at Lupin, his voice wvering out of control, "and all the time you've been his friend!"
"You're wrong," said Lupin. "I haven't been Sirius's friend. But I am now- Let me explain..."
"NO!" Hermione screamed. "Harry, don't trust him. he's been helping Black sneak into the castle, he wants you dead too- he's a werewolf!"
There was ringing silence. Everyone's eyes were now on Lupin, who looked remarkably calm, though rather pale.
