Disclaimer:Well, none of these characters are mine. Just the situations that I put them into….
Enjoy and please don't hesitate to give me your opinions I'd really appreciate knowing anything that you think could help!
Meanwhile at Hogwarts
"I just don't know what to do. We don't have a charms teacher this year and the new term starts in just over a month. Charms seem to be hard to get a teacher in at least at the moment. We need to get someone quick." Minerva just nodded and then after a moment of thinking said quietly her voice filled with regret, "If only Lily was still alive she'd be able to do it so easily. She'd be perfect Albus." He sighed completely understanding, and a bit frustrated. "Have you checked to see who is using magic around, there may be someone who is good for the job but is keeping low, the ministry should know if there is anyone?" With that Albus grimaced thinking about the chances that if there was someone trying to keep a low profile the chances were that they were either death eaters or hiding from them. "I'd rather not with all of the death eaters around; it's not worth the chance that they would try to kill or recruit any of the students Harry especially. He gets in enough trouble as it is without having death eaters posing as teachers."
Minerva sighed ready to give up but relieved that they were only one teacher short, "Well at least we are only one teacher short well except for on the full moons with Remus. It'll have to be kept quiet, if any parent finds out that their child is being taught Defence against the dark arts by a werewolf there will be problems." Albus looked almost amused "think of the irony of it Minerva, Defence Against the Dark Arts being taught by a werewolf and you know how werewolves are said to be Dark creatures. Would you like a Sherbet Lemon to help you relax Minerva?" She ignored the question for despite Albus's assurances she was worried about having Remus if only because of him being so close to James and the memory of his pranks when he was at school worried her that he would do more now. "I'll leave you to think about a suitable teacher for Charms Albus."
She stood and left the office quietly wondering what the new term would bring, hoping it wouldn't be eventful and wishing there were no Dementors going to be around the school. Why not Aurors they would be a better choice but the Ministry insisted so they couldn't do a thing except nobody was harmed by them. As she walked into the dining room, she worried about how having a werewolf as the teacher for defence against the dark arts was going to affect the student's learning. She also wondered what they were going to do about the lack of a charms teacher because Professor Flitwick had gone on a holiday for the year.
Meanwhile at the Dursley's
I sat on my lumpy bed as I paused in writing the letter to Hermione and looked up watching Vernon replacing the bars that He had placed on the window after my first year of Hogwarts. Of course the original ones had been ripped off by Fred and George when they brought their flying car to rescue him from the Dursley's. At least his school things weren't locked away this year he could at least read his books. And Dudley was too scared of magic after the tail he'd been given by Hagrid when he was eating my cake.
Even now the memory brings a smile to my face, the image of Dudley walking around for weeks with a pig's tail. Of course then I had to be a bit more careful and hide how much it amused me. I wonder who the defence against the dark arts teacher will be this year. Last year it was the idiot Lockheart but who will it be this year, with the curse causing teachers teaching Defence against the dark arts to last a year at the most. Whoever it is I just hope it isn't Snape, who for some reason hates me yet in my first Quidditch match did counter curses to try to stop Quirrel from killing me. It won't be long, only a month to go.
Back to James and Lily
He sat down completely bored out of his mind, realising it was only the 30th of August rather than October 31st Halloween. The problem was he had remembered everything he was conscious for and was worried about Harry. His dear son Harry who he'd last saw when Harry was 1. He couldn't shake the fear that he was dead and thought that by going to see Albus his fear could be completely gotten rid of. But the most pressing worry that he had was about Death Eaters, would they when realised that he and Lily were still alive immediately rectify that by killing them and make sure that they had the right people this time.
Little did he know that Lily was thinking similar thoughts outside in the garden, she'd recovered as many memories as she'd thought she was going to remember, yet she was worried because James hadn't said a thing and that could mean that he hadn't gotten all of his memories back she decided to talk to him that evening to see what he thought about going to see Albus earlier to find out what had happened while they had been in comas or had forgotten everything. Albus could also tell them whether or not Harry was dead.
Later that night when James pressed the mute button on the television remote, Lily wondered what was going on and when she glanced at his face it was clear of any emotions. He turned her body so they were facing each other on the couch. When he started to speak she was surprised enough to just listen in silence, "I've been thinking it isn't that I think all of my memories are back the majority of them are and well I don't think any more are going to come back while we stay here I think we should go see Albus and see if he can shed any light into our present situation. It isn't that I really want to I mean I'm worried that the instant we come out after talking to Albus either death eather or Voldermort or even both may come after us to try to destroy us and make it like the mistake of killing your aunt and uncle instead of us never happened. But I'm not going to insist on us going to see Albus until you are ready so I want you to tell me alright?" Lily just stared at him in shock. She'd expected him not to say that and that she'd have to. After a short silence she replied, "James I'm shocked, I mean that's what I was going to tell you, well not in those exact words but still, anyway I'll go with you to go talk to Albus whenever you want to alright? I'm ready when you are." She smiled her eyes filled with love as James wrapped his arms around her kissed her and then picked her up and carried her off to bed.
The next morning James and Lily hunted around the house for their robes, the ones that had been at the very bottom of the box, and the ones they had been wearing during that Halloween. Just the thought made lily start to cry in memory of Sophia and Henry, James wrapped his arms around her and held her tight until she stopped. They were unsure about where to go first but, finally agreed James was correct they would go into Gringotts with charms to change the appearance but nothing huge just facial features and James's hair to get it to lie flat; just enough so people wouldn't be wondering who those people who looked like Lily and James but not enough that when they got their robes back and walked around without the charms that they would still fit right and look right. They would change some of their muggle money into wizarding money and get some new robes. Neither of them could handle how emotional those robes made them feel. Their next stop would be to go and get an owl and parchment quills and ink. Then they were going to go home for the day. When their new robes arrived they were going to go and see Albus at Hogwarts.
Well the End of another part the next one may be out soon. HAPPY EASTER!
