Summary
Sequel to “Creatures of Worth” and “Creatures of Pride.” Harry reacts to the news that Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban by increasing his study of violent magic, so that he can punish his traitorous godfather when he finds him. His life is also disrupted by the return of Remus Lupin, who knew his parents, as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. But Harry doesn’t intend to let either of these men stop him from protecting himself, or endanger his living situation with Madam Marchbanks.

Summary
Harry is looking forward to a summer free of Sirius Black. And he gets it—but not without his Defense tutor, who has begun to study esoteric magic, giving Harry the bad news that he’s a Horcrux. The race is on to remove the Horcrux from Harry and defeat Voldemort. Because the one thing Harry’s not going to do is die.
(Note: the rating is for violence).
This is the sixth entry in my “These Creatures” series, following “Creatures of Worth,” “Creatures of Pride,” “Creatures of Strength,” “Creatures of Truth,” and “Creatures of Faith.” Don’t try to read this without reading those first. As well, be advised that this is an extremely dark fic.
