Chapter One
"Sirius if you are going back on the Auror force, who is going to teach Defence?" Harry asked
"One, I'm not going back on the Auror force. It was only a leave of absence. Two, Mad-Eye made me Head Auror because he's retiring. Three, the answer to your question is one of two surprises. You've always said you wanted to be like any other teenager so I'm going to help you do that by keeping you in the dark." Sirius teased
They were in Diagon Alley getting Harry's school supplies for the upcoming Hogwarts year. Remus unfortunately wasn't well enough to come. It had been a hard summer for him. The recovery process was slow. Every full moon zapped his energy leaving him weak and tired. They still hade hope for a full recovery though.
"Sirius" Harry groaned
"Tonight buddy, okay?"
"Sounds good. Thanks padfoot. Come on; let's go to the Quidditch supply store. I have everything on the list."
Sirius chuckled, "No you don't buddy. Take a look at your list again."
Harry dug his Hogwarts list out of his pocket.
"Dress robes! What?"
"Fancy, colored robes for parties. Come on. After we get you dress robes we can go spend some time in the quidditch supply but we can't stay too long."
Sirius managed to get Harry to agree to a set of dark forest green robes much to Harry's annoyance before Harry rushed off.
They spent a bit of time in the quiddtich store before returning to their house.
Sirius and Harry found Remus on the couch reading a Defence book. He still bore the signs of his time in Azkaban.
"Harry why don't you go pack your trunk while I prepare dinner." Sirius directed his godson.
"Okay" Harry answered heading upstairs to pack his trunk. Tomorrow was the first of September and they needed to leave relatively early to get to King's Cross on time for the Hogwarts' Express.
After Harry had left the sitting area Sirius pulled out Remus' mass of potions he had to take. In all there were three nutritional supplements and potions, 2 digestive potions, and a muscle replenisher.
Sirius didn't want Harry to know how bad Remus really was. They had been careful to inform the boy but still keep him optimistic. There was hope for Remus having a full recovery but for now Remus was very weak and still not able to eat normally.
After Dinner, Harry got his answers.
"Mad-Eye Moody is teaching Defence. Listen and you'll learn lots from him Harry. The second surprise is that the Triwizard tournament is coming to Hogwarts. It is a magical tournament that pits three wizards from the three magical schools against each other in a battle of magic, wills, mental and physical strength and endurance. It is only open to 6th and 7th years so don't get any ideas about competing but you get the watch and it is sure to be exciting. Remember this year that although neither Remus nor I are teaching this year we are only a message away or if you really need us you can ask Professor Dumbledore or McGonagall to use their fireplaces to firecall us. Now up to bed with you. Tomorrow, one or both of us will bring you to King's Cross."
