... something that can help Remus now, and it's something I can actually do." Hermione smiled, shaking her head slightly. "Harry, you're a good person, but don't stress yourself out too much." She laughed lightly. "I know I'm the last person who should be giving this advice, but don't take on too much. You've got a lot going on, and a lot to deal with. Try not to wear yourself out." Harry nodded his agreement, smiling as well. It was amusing to see his friend tell him not to spend too much time studying and researching, considering all she tried to do herself, especially her third year. "I know," he agreed. "Right now, it's just theories and ideas. I'm not going to spend too much time thinking about it until I have the time to do so. I'll wait until after graduation, all right?" Hermione nodded decisively. "Agreed, so long as you let me help you. This sounds fascinating!" Harry chuckled, and even Snape let out a small laugh.

After a week's hard work, the potion was ready. As Harry had posited, the shade was slightly darker blue than the original, with a pale gray smoke that drifted up from the cauldron and gave it a mother of pearl-like sheen. Remus took the first goblet they offered him and with a deep breath, knocked it back as quickly as possible. He shuddered, and Harry shrugged apologetically. "As of yet, I haven't found a way to improve the taste." Remus shook his head, smiling. "It's all right, Harry. What you have done is more than enough." Harry blushed. "We still don't know if it will work," he reminded the werewolf. Remus rested a hand on his pseudo nephew's shoulder. "I trust you, Harry. You've got a great mind in that head of yours. I believe in you." Harry now resembled a tomato, as Remus left the room. Snape rolled his eyes. "One of these days, Potter, you're going to have to learn how to take a compliment."
