Oh, I don't know...I always assumed that after his frenzied run into 
the Forbidden Forest during the climax, Lupin found the sense to 
return to the Shrieking Shack, where he regained his human form and 
made his way back to Hogwarts Castle, and -- oh -- what's this in my 
pocket?  Oh, it's an Invisibility Cloak...that's right, it's 
Harry's.  Well, I'd better give it back to him, hadn't I?

Ta-da!  But give Cindy a L.O.O.N. membership anyway; Lord knows I 
would never pass the entrance exam....
