"Well you three, what have you got to say for yourselves?" Dumbledore said, with a mock sternness in his voice, to the three boys standing before him in his office. Sirius looked at Dumbledore, whose eyes were twinkling.

"Um…sorry?"

"Oh, I wish I could believe you but I know I can't, Sirius." Dumbledore smiled, "I suppose I am right in assuming that this year will be just as eventful as the last where you three are concerned?" The marauders said nothing, but they couldn't stop grinning. Dumbledore sighed, but he was still smiling, "Well if you have to continue your reign of terror, couldn't you be more careful not to get caught? It would be nice for the head boy and his friends to show a good example to the school."

"Yes, sir, rely on us!" James grinned.

"But it's O.K." Remus smiled.

"Everyone loves us already!" Sirius said, Dumbledore laughed.

"Well…the girls certainly love Sirius, with his growing fan club I'm sure he could be distracted by thing other than pranks this year, such as-" James started.

"Alright, Potter, Black, out! Both of you, I want to talk to Mr. Lupin for a minute, so you can wait outside." Dumbledore said firmly. James and Sirius grinned at Dumbledore, waved at Remus, and went out.

"You boys…" said Dumbledore, motioning for Remus to sit down as he sat down too, "What will I do with you?"

"I don't know sir." Remus sat down, and smiled faintly.

"Remus, I know it's been difficult for you this summer, your parents were friends of mine, and we will all miss them greatly. None more than you will, I'm afraid."

"Yes sir." Remus hung his head.

"But I want you to know that you're not alone in the world. I don't want you to feel isolated or think that you have to change the way you've been living because you don't. I've already spoken to your Uncle, and he's quite happy to have you to stay after your graduation if you want to." Dumbledore said.

"It's O.K. I'll be fine." Dumbledore saw the pride in the boy's eyes as he looked up.

"And you're always welcome to use the shrieking shack for full moons."

"Thank You." Remus said.

"Well, that's all I wanted to say, so you can go." Remus got up and began to leave, as he reached the door, Dumbledore called out:

"Take care of yourself Remus, and do try and do well in the N.E.W.T.s this year, although I've no doubt you will." Dumbledore smiled, Remus smiled back, said goodnight, and left. Sirius and James waited for him behind the door.

"What was that about?" Sirius asked.

"Nothing…" Remus said, and they walked back to the common room in silence. Remus climbed into bed fully clothed and pulled the curtains shut. James looked worriedly at Sirius, and they both went silently to get changed.
