"Harry! Ron!"
Hermione yelled racing into the common room. Harry looked up from the game of chess he was playing. Ron glared at him.
"Mate! Come on focus on the game!"
"I'm gonna lose anyway, Hermione what is it?"
Catching her breath she smiled at both of her friends.
"Lupin is here!"
Harry stood up drastically fast. His movement blew some chess figures off the board. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Lupin? Really!?"
"Yeah! Dumbledore just announced it! He is here to help Hagrid out with care of magical creatures!"
The smile faded from Harry's face.
"Wait, but wasn't he fired because he...ya know he..."
He trailed off. All the students in their 6th year and up knew about that Remus Lupin was fired due to the dangers of him being a werewolf. Albus wanted Lupin to stay but many pure blood families complained of the dangers. It was surprising he was even allowed here.
"Well, yeah. But he is helping cover the creatures and dangers of the forbidden forest unit they taught 3rd years."
"Aw, we won't see him?"
Being in their sixth year the trio was currently studying the five main types of Big Foots. Hermione shrugged.
"I dunno. We can most likely visit him after classes."
"How long is he staying?"
"...one whole month."
This time it was Ron's turn to be surprised.
"An entire month! But for three nights he will change into a bloody wolf!"
Hermione glared at Ron.
"Dumbledore obviously has a separate room for, those times. Plus Snape can make the wolfsbane potion."
Harry snorted with laughter as Ron glared while Hermione once again had corrected him. But Ron sighed.
"Well besides that, he has to stay in the room by himself. Too bad someone like Sirius isn't here- oh crud."
Harry's face went blank, like all expression drained from it. It had been almost a year since the anumagus's death and the slight mention of his name made Harry upset. The look Hermione gave Ron for his mess up looked like she was shooting daggers at him with her eyes. Ron apologized immediately.
"Harry mate I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine, lets leave it at that. I'm going to the great hall for lunch, anyone coming?"
Harry brushed aside the comment like it meant nothing. But he missed the mans company. He was losing contact to the people who knew his parents. Seeing Lupin may help. Ron and Hermione nodded and the trio passed the fat lady and walked down the hall.
...
Boy life was good. Draco Malfoy was on his way to lunch and for him, life could not be better. His teacher Snape is going to be his defense against the dark arts teacher (finally), Slytherin was winning the house cup so far. And best of all, he had another way to torment Potter. The death of his godfather must sting, and Draco was sure to soak the wound with plenty of salt. He headed down the hall with his housemates Crab and Doyle. He saw the golden trio right as he was about to enter the great hall. He smirked.
"Well if it isn't dear old Potter. Still hanging with your Weasel and mud blood friends?"
Crab and Doyle snickered as Ron's face flushed red with anger. Harry narrowed his eyes.
"Shut up Malfoy."
"Why? It's not your good old godfather can help you."
Malfoy smirked pleasantly when he saw he had hit a nerve on Potter. Harry's face went blank and Hermione covered her mouth in horror that Malfoy had dared bring up Sirius's death.
"Malfoy try sticking your pesky nose out of other people's business!"
Ron shouted back. Malfoy frowned.
"Now what are you going to do about that Weasley?"
He smirked at the Gryffindor's angry expression. He kept his eyes on the Weasley's wand. Sure enough Ron wiped out his wand.
"Expellitomjs!"
But Malfoy was ready. He had his wand in position to perform a blocking spell. The spell did no damage leaving Ron as mad as ever. The Slytherin strode proudly into the great hall not bother to look at the golden trios faces. Yep. Life was good.
...
Harry sat quietly down at his seat. Ron and Hermione sat on either side.
"Don't listen to him mate, he's just a jerk."
"Ron's right Harry don't let him get to your head."
Harry just lifted a spoonful of soup to his lips. He seemed dazed out. He looked back at his food.
"Stupid git"
Was all he mutters before a voice rang through the hall. Dumbledore raised his voice to get the 6th years attention.
"Now, I have been explaining this to all the students, you should all be aware of the temporary presence of Remus Lupin."
Whispers went throughout the great hall.
"I know you are already are aware of Mr. Lupin's...condition."
Malfoy's voice rang out.
"His 'condition'!? The man's a bloody werewolf!"
Minerva glared at Malfoy giving him a reason to shut up. Albus continued.
"As I was saying, he will be with us for a little while and I expect you to treat him as you treat all your teachers. And, with him we will be welcoming a new student."
Ron turned to his friends.
"In sixth year? You can add someone new now?"
Hermione shrugged.
"And, I know this is strange to have a student start during the beginning of a sixth year. But they are far too old to be in first year. And, she has been homeschooled something's for most of her life. Her-"
"Her?"
Male voices rang out in the crowd. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Boys"
"-her adopted parent told me he is ready to enroll her in hogwarts. Now she has learned some but not all since she was homeschooled by one person but she will catch up. She will be sorted today. Right now, if that's okay with you, Remus?"
It was finally Harry's turn to shout.
"Remus!? Is she like Lupin's daughter or something!?"
"Yes"
Lupin walked up next to Dumbledore to look at Harry. Malfoy once again cried out.
"Is she a dog like her daddy dearest"
He smirked as saw the eruption of giggles from his friends. Remus opened his mouth to snap but Albus held up his hand.
"If that's your opinion Malfoy then how about ten points from Slytherin?"
The Slytherin's grin disappeared and he sat back down with a frown. Albus began to continue,
"No Mister Malfoy. Now if you all are all done with your talking Remus may you please bring in Jannet?"
Lupin nodded and walked out of the room. For the moment chatter arose. Ron turned to Hermione.
"He has a girl? But isn't he not married?"
"Might be a family member's kid."
"And she's not a wolf. But God I bet Malfoy will still tease her about her family. Stupid little git. Right Harry?"
Both turned to their friend who stared off in space.
"Mate? Your not still upset about Malfoy are you-"
"He didn't tell us."
"Harry-"
"We've known him for 3 years now. He's like family and he never said a word about 'Jannet'."
"Harry,"
Hermione spoke to him in a calm voice.
"He must have his reasons. You can talk to him afterwards."
"Yeah but-"
Harry was interrupted as the sound of footsteps entered the hall. Remus strode in and behind him was a girl. She had ink black hair that went down to her shoulder blades and curled slightly at the end. She was pale and had a silver necklace of a crescent moon the bounced when she moved. She wore a light grey skirt that was short and wore a blue shirt that looked pale and worn down to give it an old looking color. The collar of the shirt had slid over her shoulder revealing her shoulder and a lavender tank under. And the most unusual thing was her eyes. They were a vibrant purple that stood out. All eyes were glued to her as she walked next to Remus who stood beside Dumbledore. Lupin smiled obviously happy about the arrival of his daughter. His daughter how ever, seemed anything but happy. Minerva walked you holding the sorting hat. Ron snickered.
"We haven't had that out in quite a while, she must be humiliated. Ow!"
He cried out as Hermione elbowed him in the ribs signaling him to shut up. She was about to scold him when Harry spoke in a curious tone.
"She's wearing a muggle fashion."
"What?"
"He clothes, those are muggle outfits."
Hermione looked up at her. Her face twisted into a frown.
"Your right."
Ron just stared. And stared.
"Blimy, she has legs."
"Oh for gods sake Ron!"
Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron's ridiculous statement. Suddenly Dumbledore spoke once more.
"Sit here Jannet."
"May I stand?"
The voice that finally emerged from the came to a shock to everyone. Harry has begun to assume the girl didn't talk at all. Her voice came out smooth like honey and wasn't high not was it low. And the peculiar of all was her accent. It was American. It sounded almost foreign. Every student stared. Albus looked at her surprised.
"It is easier if you sit."
"Fine."
She sat down on the stool and crossed her legs. Minerva sat the hat on her head. The hats eyes opened and it smiled.
"Clever clever little girl. Oh my yes interesting indeed. I would say, Ravenclaw."
Remus looked disappointed at her not being in Gryffindor but it was not for long. She stood up and walked back to her father.
"Go to your table Jane."
"Fine"
She strolled down to where the other Ravenclaw's were. They cheered and welcomed her with open arms. Harry just stared.
"Why not tell us..."
...
"Harry!"
Remus strode up to Harry after lunch.
"It's been...a while."
"Yeah, so WHY THE HECK DID YOU NOT TELL ME YOU HAD A DAUGHTER!?"
Remus sighed.
"About 10 years ago Dumbledore sent me on a mission in America. I ran across an Orphanage while I was there. I learned there was a 6 year old girl there who was a witch. I was told that the American wizarding school was going to leave her there because they did not want to deal with a orphan. I adopted her out of pity. I was going to enroll her when she turned 11 but I grew, attached to her. I did not want to give her up after 5 years so I homeschooled her. Only Dumbledore and a few others knew. People in the order took turns watching her when I was on missions. And when I decided to teach Mad Eye Moody volunteered to watch her. I think myself that he got attached. She calls him Uncle Moody."
"Adopted. Huh. But, you could have told us you know..."
"Harry I wanted to. But the less who knew the better. It was dangerous enough being a werewolf, but being a father to? The Ministry of Magic would arrest me and lock up Jane. Werewolves aren't aloud to have kids."
"Malfoy will tell his father for sure though."
"Dumbledore is making sure no one tells."
"So a spell."
Remus laughed at his remark.
"Yes Harry."
Harry smiled but looked down.
"Still wish you told me."
Remus ruffled the Gryffindor's hair making him laugh.
"I'll make up for it."
"Fine."
"Harry, can you, watch out for her? She has never known anyone her own age. I wish you were in her house but you can still be friends right?"
Harry looked up and he saw the protective face of a father. He nodded. Remus smiled.
"I have to go. Thank you Harry."
Harry waved good bye and got up Ron and Hermione ran up to him.
"Harry! It's Remus's kid! Malfoy tried to harass her-"
Hermione started before Ron interrupted.
"And she's winning!"
Harry's eyes went wide and ran after his friends.
...
The people at Jannet's new school stared at her. She couldn't blame them though. She was wearing muggle clothes. But she knew that wasn't it. It was her dad. Everyone judged her the same way they judged him. God how annoying. She had just started talking to a girl at her table. She said her name was Luna. She seemed a little weird but was nice. The rest of her new 'house' seemed nervous around her. But they still tried showing her around. They were leaving the courtyard when she got tapped on her back. She turned to see a blond kid with a green tie. She narrowed her eyes. This was the boy who insulted her father.
"So you daddy's little 'puppy'?"
The Slytherin laughed.
"Art art awoooooo!"
He did and impression of a wolf's howl making his entire house laugh. She turned to fully face him.
"Did anyone ever tell you you're a stupid little git?"
The boy blinked in surprise. It usually took longer to get that kind of reaction.
"I wouldn't try anything like that wolf pup, or you're in for a beating. Aw what's wrong? Daddy not here to save ya?"
Draco smirked at her angry face.
"God who are you? Spoiled brat of the century? Get a life besides tormentation."
Malfoy looked mad now. Why wasn't he getting to her.
"You idiot! Alarte Asendare!"
Draco shouted at her. The spell flew toward her. She wiped out her wand and muttered something. A blue light deflected the spell back and Malfoy sending him in the air. All of her Ravenclaw house mates laughed at his scared look as he bobbed helplessly in the air.
"Accio broom!"
A broom zoomed into his grip causing him to float back on the ground. He pointed his wand and muttered a spell. Suddenly a snake came out. Jane walked back away.
"Ha, wait no! Potter!"
Malfoy's joyful cry rang out but was soon stopped as Harry moved in and began his snakey language. Once the snake was contained he turned to Malfoy.
"What the heck is wrong with you, you idiotic dope!"
"Shut up Potter!"
Malfoy stormed away. Harry turned and faced Jannet.
"Hi I'm-"
"Harry Potter the boy who lived. Son of James and Lily Potter. Famous seeker. Gryffindor extraordinaire!"
"K then."
She smiled playfully
"Sorry. My dad speaks highly of you."
"Your dad. Lupin."
"Yes, you okay?"
"Sorry still getting used to it."
Jane raised an eyebrow. Than shrugged. Suddenly Ron ran up.
"Hello!"
"This is Ron, he likes your legs."
Hermione stated blunty. Ron glared at her his face red. Harry laughed.
"...thanks?"
Jane said confused. Suddenly Luna came to Drag her back to the tour.
"Nice meeting you."
"Same."
Jane ran off and Harry just watched. Suddenly Harry spoke.
"Ron and Jane sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Hey shut up mate!"
Harry and Hermione headed back to the common room laughing with a hotheaded Ron trailing behind.
