Time quickly passed as the end of the year continued to draw closer. The fifth and seventh years have begun to hit the books harder than before. All while the other grades only the more studious ones began to review a little bit.
"What do you think, Athena?" Felix scratched his phoenix chin.
She is a lovely phoenix with an orange feather on her head as her body is covered in beautiful feathers. Felix has noted that she is getting quite big as she seemingly grows bigger each day, that while not fully grown, she can already carry an impressive amount of weight.
Athena just stared at him with her black eyes before looking away with her head up. Clearly rejecting the idea he asked of her. Hence, Felix had to resort to other tricks as he began to pull out various treats he bought or made himself.
"What are you doing?" Angel asked.
"Chatting with her while looking over the list of potions to give Severus." Felix replied.
"Why? Most of the potions I see sound amazing, but aren't that useful or necessary." Angel said, looking over the list.
"It's because he broke our agreement." Felix replied.
Naturally, since that day of his prophetic dream, Felix investigated and found out that Severus still in fact stayed among the Death Eaters among the students. It was sort of an open secret that they were Death Eaters as their families supported Voldemort and they didn't really hide it all that much. All that was missing was the Dark Mark on their forearms.
Due to still hoping Severus Snape of remembering his deal, Felix still gave out his end of the deal. Yet, each time it was becoming increasingly clear that Severus isn't going to turn back. So Felix just feels hurt each time as his kindness is trampled upon.
"If he broke it, why do you continue to give?" Angel asked with a weird expression.
"Because I am a fool." Felix replied. "I hope to show him that the world isn't full of torment, bitterness and darkness like he thinks it is. While it's not all sunshine and rainbows, it isn't as dark as he believes it to be."
"You seem to care a lot about his situation." Angel commented. "Is there something special about him?"
Felix shook his head. Besides being a man child in a movie and book series in his last life, Felix didn't think he was special all that much. While many would praise him for risking his neck to be a spy and giving Harry the Gryffindor Sword to destroy a Horecrux. Most of Severus Snape's actions can be described as selfish as he took pleasure in tormenting Harry and others. All that tormenting couldn't even be described as keeping his cover as a spy, but more of an excuse.
"Special, not really." Felix shook his head.
"Then is there a reason?" Angel asked.
"Because I want to help him." Felix replied, unsure of his answer.
"What if he doesn't want your help?" Angel answered.
Felix just stayed silent since he knew there isn't a good way to answer this. He just wanted to help others, but it doesn't mean others would want his help. If he tries to force it, they will resist, but if tries to be soft, he is basically a nanny.
After tapping his finger a few times, Felix decided to cut off Severus Snape. He had honored the agreement and even kept going hoping Severus would remember their agreement. In the end, it came to nothing and he could only wish the teenager happiness in his world of self inflicted bitterness.

"Sirius, what got you so happy?"
Inside the Gryffindor's Common Room, James asked his best friend. Felix lifted his head from his book and looked over to notice that Sirius seems to be in a very good mood. The black hair teen seemed to be more cheerful than normal.
"Snivellus is going to have a cold night." Sirius replied. "You know how he's been following us around lately? While I might have 'accidentally' leaked how to get past the Whomping Willow. So he is going to have a long night in the slightly windy cabin."
Suddenly Remus, who was focused on his homework, froze. His head in a very stiff movement raised as he looked at Sirius with immense worry. Which made his friends look at him strangely.
"What's wrong Remus?" Sirius asked.
"A grandchild of the Headmaster's old friends was bitten by a werewolf. He is taking residence in the Shrieking Shack tonight as the potion isn't ready." Remus whispered.
"Tsk, serve that guy right for snooping around our business." Sirius grumbled, yet a hint of fear crept into his voice.
Due to not taking part on the front end of the war and losing his friends. Sirius still held a childish heart and while he disliked Severus immensely. A small part of him dislikes the current situation, though it more for this unknown grandchild of Dumbledore's old friend. Since finding out that you bit or torn apart someone during the full moon might be devastating for the werewolf.
"You don't think he will go tonight right?" James asked worriedly.
If he were worried about Severus' safety or how Lily will take the news if she finds out remains a mystery. It is clear he was very nervous about this situation at hand. Especially since his friend most likely will go to Azkaban for this when it's investigated.
After seeing the Marauders beginning to panic among themselves. Felix opened up his communication watch to look as it began to glow in his pocket. He saw that Bellatrix had sent him a message.
Mainly due to inconvenience and often not a good idea to call or video chat, Bellatrix mainly sends him small bits of text similar to a text message. Usually it's just small bits of information that isn't really that useful but tonight it had to be different.
[Be wary that Fenrir is sent to assassinate you. After months of begging on his knees did the Dark Lord grant him permission. So his remaining pack is coming to Hogwarts for you.]
Felix just tapped his watch for a short while as he rubbed his forehead. The easiest thing to do is warn Dumbledore about the impending attack. However, he isn't in the castle as he is stuck at the Ministry of Magic due to a big event Voldemort did recently.
Next option is to tell a professor, but whether they believe him or not is up in the air. Not to mention they tend to allow students to roam about at night. Since if one isn't caught then it is not a problem.
"What's the issue?" John asked.
"Nothing to really worry about." Felix replied. "Just another assassination attempt. So I have to prepare a few things for the incoming guests. There seems to be quite a bit of them this time."
"Shouldn't you tell a professor?" Angel asked worriedly. "You shouldn't need to worry about this all the time by yourself."
"Then try to explain how I know?" Felix rolled his eyes. "They would tell me I worry too much and should just go to sleep. Then when the attack happens, they will scream "why didn't I warn them?" Especially Professor McGongall, she still doesn't seem to like me at all."
"This is a tradition and Hogwarts motto. If the students are capable they should handle their own problems." John patted Felix in an attempt to comfort him. "Unless there is a large army coming to attack "
'Does a pack of mad werewolves count?' Felix wondered to himself.
Shaking his head, Felix closed his book and began to move. He had quite a bit of work to do and he needed to figure out what he was going to do. Facing a pack of werewolves head on is just plain dumb, but he didn't know if he had enough time to set traps.
'Is it possible to put werewolf repellent in a rainstorm and make werewolves very uncomfortable so they will call off the attack? Something similar to Newt Scamander did in the first Fantastic Beast movie' Felix thought to himself.
