What if Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Tonks didn't die during the war? What if 13 years after the fight in the Department of Mysteries Sirius is married and Minister of Magic and Remus was back in Hogwarts teaching?

P.S This is before Sirius gets married xx It's like a prequel to my main story. Set only just over 3 years after the Battle of Hogwarts, it is building up to the main story.


15 December 2001

"I can't believe that Sirius is getting married to Sam!" Ron commented walking down the stairs of 12 Grimmauld Place. Harry and Hermoine trotting behind him. The 20-year-old boys wearing black tuxedos with silver waistcoats and ties. Hermoine was in a short, crumpled, gold silk dress. The bottom skimming above her knees. Gold high heels clattered against the wooden floor boards, her hair bunched on top of her head nicely done by Ginny.

" Yeah well, she's a nice woman" Harry replied "and Sirius deserves some one in his life. She is good for him, when they met after his name got cleared and the ministry apologised she comforted him through the hard times and stayed with him through the happy ones."

"That's true, Harry. You two are going to be good groomsmen."

"Thank you, love, I bet Remus' best man speech is going to be good, with all the stories from the Marauder times it is going to be hilarious!" Ron held the kitchen door wide from his girlfriend and best friend to pass before him. Sitting at the old wooden dinning table was the best man, Remus Lupin, and the ringberrer, Teddy Lupin. The 3-year-old had a mini version of Harry's and Ron's tuxedos, he was facing Remus, who was sorting out his son's shoe lace. Remus had a gold tie and a silver waistcoat with gold patterns. In his breast pocket a gold handkerchief poked out.

" Good morning, Professor"

" How many times, Hermoine? You're not my student anymore and were not at Hogwarts so call me Remus" he said finished Teddy's show lace and sitting up.

"Sorry, Remus"

"It's okay, anyway it should be Harry being called professor, I heard you're Hogwarts' new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year starting in January"

"You are correct, Moony. Working beside yourself as Potion's professor and Hermoine teaching Charms it was an opportunity I could not let pass."Harry said with a smile.

"Yes, Minerva was quite proud of herself for finding two brilliant young wizards two teach at her school." He looked down to his son next to him " Teddy, son, go find your mother and tell her to hurry please?"

"Yes, daddy" He jumped off the chair and sprinted past the trio and through the kitchen door narrowly missing pushing Sirius over who had just come around the corner.

"Well someone's excited about today" He mumbled, plopping down into the chair at the end of the table. His waistcoat was silver with gold patterns, he started to do up his golden tie.

"Yes well, his uncle Padfoot is getting married to auntie Sam"

"And this is the best day of my life, Moony!"

"Of course it is! Now go put your jacket on we're leaving in 10 minutes" He got up and slid the Daily Prophet, that he had read, into the kitchen draw.

"Okay, okay calm down mister perfect"

"Do you want to be late for your own wedding? Because Sams going to be furious when she finds out your late because you're not ready!"

"Oh I'll go put my jacket on then" Remus chuckled as Sirius greeted the trio.

"Good morning Sirius"

"Harry, you're too cheerful at this time of the morning"

"Only because I haven't got a hangover from the stag that lasted until three o'clock this morning"

"Yeah,yeah whatever" He picked his jacket of the hanger that was latched onto the kitchen door. "Hermoine, darling, you know I love you as my own

daughter-"

"I don't have any hangover potion left, sorry"

"I'll go get some of mine" Ron started to walk up the stairs.

"Ron, you're a star mate!" Sirius shouted after him.

"Yeah well we don't you to be miserable on your wedding day do we?" Mooney asked as Teddy ran into the kitchen, Dora following. She had a short silver dress with silver heels and a small grey clutch bag.

"Hey hun" She kissed her husband's cheek as she pulled her long brown hair in a stylish ponytail.

"Hey, ready?"

"Yep. Sirius I can't you are finally getting married, I never thought my dear cousin would get hitched!" She picked Teddy up and sat him on her hip.

"Well that's supportive" Sirius mumbled as Ron came back into the room.

"Here" He passed the older man a pink sparkle liquid stuck in a small flask.

"Thank you" He down in one gulp. "Now who's ready for a wedding?" He shouted and walked up the stairs to the fron door.
