Early the next morning Fawkes lead Janna back to the Shack, she was wary of anything, she kept close to the bird's tail as he flew above her. Greyback was long gone, however his paw prints showered in a layer of new snow, she swayed as she moved through the hole in the Shack's wall. Soon collapsing on the tilting sofa that was in front a fire hearth, Fawkes settled in the hearth, bursting into flames he warmed Janna. After a few moments a chick cheeped from the ash near the flames of the wood, the chick hopped onto the sofa to lay on Janna's chest between her two front legs, Janna twisted her neck then laid her head on her paws to keep the Phoenix safe.

There was a clomping of large claws on the floorboards, only two steps at a time, the dragging of a tail caused Janna to raise her head, she saw was the vague gold and white form of Goldfeather. The thunderbird laid at the foot of the couch, he snored loudly as he send statics through the air to warm it up slightly.

As the sun rose Janna felt her heart in her head, she kept her eyes closed through the shift, her claws cradling the small Phoenix chick turned into hands stained with dried blood. As her shift ended, Janna pulled the blanket on the back of the sofa over her, she covered herself and a bit of Goldfeather  who cooed to Janna before resting his giant golden head on the sofa.

Janna knew she was not going to make it to the castle with this much blood missing, her mind wandered off, thinking about at last having a place to call home with Mr Winslow, not a house with Mrs Winslow, she smiled to herself. Thinking about maybe running about in a field, not in a basement. She relished in the sensations of running through the snow, the cold air in her hot lungs.

   "Miss Black?" McGonagall's voice came from behind Janna, the headmistress gasped "Black!?"

   "Ma'am" Janna croaked, just loud enough for McGonagall to hear, there was a pitter patter on the broken wood, soon the headmistress came to the sofa to see Janna curled on her side under a dusty blanket "Greyback...was—"

   "I know, I came here last night to find Leana Gasto looking for you, I saw him in the shadows, I was not able to stun him, I was worried he would attack Leana" McGonagall came to Janna's front to see the scratch on her face "where were you?"

   "I was outside..." The headmistress frowned at her "I... I was nearly taken by Greyback so I fought him—"

   "Miss Black! He's a much older werewolf," Janna heard the worry in McGonagall's voice "how did you survive?"

Janna lifted the blanket off her side "I gave it my all; he gave me a real beating, though" the five gashes were swollen and black at the centres "he knocked me about a good few times as well... He must be five times bigger than I am"

   "Never mind that, Miss Black, we need Poppy to look at this" McGonagall's voice was shaken "I will need to have the wall there boarded up again, he must have come through there"

Janna sat up, her back groaning as she held Fawkes to her chest over the blanket "Do you know this bird?"

McGonagall's eyes traveled down to the little red chick "Fawkes" McGonagall's voice softened "he has been missing for twenty years... Keep him close... I wonder why he has come back"

   "He healed most of my wounds, I got a really bad one on my face" Janna patted her cheek, directing to her nose, a bloody mess of caked blood and blisters of drying blood had surrounded the scratched skin "my left eye is a little blurry"

McGonagall brought a chair to sit in front of Janna "Poppy will be here any moment" she looked at Janna's left eye "yes, your eye is bloodshot, how did this happen?"

Slowly Janna looked over her shoulder to the wall that faced the staircase, remembering being flung across the room like a ragdoll, she closed her eyes as she moved her face forward "I... hit the wall after he flew me, the wall opposite to the steps, during the fight he hit me a few times"

   "I need to send Potter to take care of this, he might have to take charge at the Ministry's Auror Office again" McGonagall explained, summoning a bandage for Janna's forearm.

   "And then what? Tell them that Greyback attacked another werewolf and he must be caught?" Janna shook her head "they'll become suspicious of the school, there have been werewolves here before. They'll have my head before tomorrow, specifically Jackdaw... he's been on my case for being a werewolf for ages, not a single person believed him—but now they might"

   "Don't jump to conclusions, Miss Black, Potter will not mention you, Greyback is a wanted escapee of Azkaban, he'll be caught—"

   "Greyback is never caught, even when he is contained, it's only for when he attacked someone, not for when he tries to recruit werewolves. Even when he's in prison Greyback... Greyback finds a way to get his pack to bite and take over people" Janna's ear twitched, she looked over her shoulder to see Pomfrey coming to her with a medical bag.

   "Thank you for sending me a Patronus, Minnie" Pomfrey said as she waved her way through the debris from the previous night's fight. Pomfrey moved past McGonagall who was just about to leave "Oh dear, Black, let me see your face"

   "I'll be going—"

   "Please don't tell Harry!" Janna got a hold of McGonagall's robe sleeve "Greyback'll use someone to get out, he'll be better off keeping track Greyback, not capturing him! People will disappear either way! Greyback cannot be imprisoned, he'll just get lost by the Ministry again, then whomever he bites, the Ministry won't care about them" Pomfrey moved Janna's face by tilting her chin up, Janna kept her eyes on McGonagall, "believe me, Greyback—" Janna took in a deep breathe, her eyes softened "—werewolves... we get what we want, no matter what it takes. Greyback shouldn't be underestimated, he can't be locked up, I know what goes on in his head because... I—I just know... He'll bite anyone, kill anyone who'll contain him, I don't want anyone to die, neither do you"

McGonagall watched Janna, the young girl pursed her lips, her face tired from the long, cold night "you need rest, Miss Black, please, do not carry on pressuring yourself, Harry knows what he is doing"

The two stared at each other, like a cat watching a dog, anything could set off a chase.

Pomfery broke the stare "Come now, Minnie, let me get my work done"

McGonagall looked at Pomfrey before turning away to walk to the trap door, she stepped slowly, shrinking into the tabby cat. The cat skulked down the trap door's hole, a pitter patter of her paws alerted Janna where the Professor was. Janna took in a deep breathe, Greyback would never stop until he got her, he would kill everyone to get to her. Apparently when she was bit she was an automatically added member of his gang, she hated him, Janna did not want to be near him during the full moon at all. Janna needed to go ask Remus Lupin some questions.
