Chapter 4: Moony and a last prank

The new family plus Hermione went to the Three Broomsticks for lunch. When they walked into the Pub the first person to notice them was Madame Rosmerta. She ran to Sirius whom-ping him into a huge hug. "Siri, when they told me you had betrayed Jimmy I didn't believe it. I mean you two used to sneak out of Hogwarts every weekend or so. I knew when you guys where younger that Pettigrew was a follower just never though that he would decide to follow someone else and stab you guys in the back."

Sirius smiled. "You where always our favorite Rosy, always looking past our ages and letting us in when we snuck out, hell you used to cover for us sometimes when the teachers came out looking for us."

Rosmerta seated them in a nice secluded booth and brought them some butterbeers before bringing them some Fish and Chips. Harry looked around the table and saw that Susan and their dad were bonding so he looked at Amelia. "Mom so when are you two getting married? What names are we going to use?"

Hearing Harry and Susan call her mom would never ceased to make her smile. She looked toward Harry. "We are going to wait and get married next week after you guys are done school, it will also give Remus long enough to recover from his most recent full moon so he can be best man."

They then realized that Susan and Sirius had stopped talking, Sirius was looking at Harry in awe and Susan was shocked. Harry looked at them. "What's up with you two?"

Susan asked. "Professor Lupin is a werewolf?" While Sirius asked. "I'm guessing you and Hermione figured that out as well?"

Harry nodded to both of their questions. And repeated his question about names.

Susan asked if she could be Bones-Black because she wanted to have something to remember her birth parents, Harry agreed with her but wanted to be Potter-Black for the same reason. Amelia and Sirius both agreed with their decisions.

Right as they were finishing lunch, some lady sat at their table. "My name is Rita Skeeter mind if I ask you all a few questions?"

Amelia was looking at her with a look of dislike. "That depends Rita, if you want an interview you will have to take an oath to be honest and not twist our words."

Normally Rita would of left in a huft and written what she wanted anyway but she knew that winds were changing and these four were going to be at the middle of it. Hell Bones was the leading candidate for Minister. "I Rita Louise Skeeter make an oath on my magic and life that whatever is said today in this interview will not be twisted or changed."

After answering few questions they decided to go see how Remus was doing and ask him a few things about the last night.

Remus had been up for a while and was waiting on his visitors to finally come. He was confused that Amelia and Susan Bones was with them but let them settle down in his chambers while serving them tea.

Harry and Amelia explained to Remus what happened after McGonagall had left, with some help from Hermione and Sirius when they could. Remus started explaining what happened on his end of things. "Last night I knew it was the scheduled day for Buckbeak's execution and I was watching the map because I had a feeling three students where going to sneak out."

Here Hermione was blushing while Harry was acting innocent, everyone was more amused than anything, knowing he would want to be there for Hagrid.

"It turned out I was right, but when I saw them leaving Hagrid's hut they were now four and not three. I almost panicked and ran after them when I saw Pettigrew with them but I've been a werewolf for so long that it's pretty much ingrained in my head when the full moon is so I flooed Minerva's office and quickly explained the situation. I would of flooed Dumbledore's office but I knew that Minerva was one of the few who believed that Sirius was innocent. After watching Minerva go to the rescue I flooed back to my office just in time to catch Severus knock at my door and bring me my potion. When the moon came out I made sure I was locked in and just curled up to sleep on my rug."

Sirius looked like he wanted to go prank the hell out of Snape but the others managed to stop him, Susan and Hermione could both see a spark in Harry's eye and promised themselves to help him.

Remus looked towards Amelia and asked why she was here and not at the ministry. "Well I'm sure you remember that old Padfoot and I were engaged before he got sent to Azkaban? We decided that we had waited long enough and where getting married next week. I asked Minerva earlier this morning if she would be my maid of honor and I'm sure Sirius would love for you to be his best man."

Moony jumped up and hugged Amelia and Sirius saying that he was honored and would love to be part of the wedding.

Scene Break

The couple walked hand in hand towards their common room, when they entered everyone saw that their hands were joined, they stopped talking and started congratulating the couple, only one person didn't seem happy for them. Yep you guessed it, Mo-Ron decided to once again prove that sometimes you should be silent and thought an idiot than open your mouth and prove them right. "What in Merlin's name are you two doing together. Hermione is mine, you're not allowed to have her, you have everything handed to you on a silver platter but no you had to take what was mine.

"Sure I've been an ass to her this year but who else would even give her the time of day, she's only a fucking mudblood and I would of had her as a concubine so my pureblood wife doesn't get fat having a bunch of sprogs while I play keeper for the Chudley Cannons."

He didn't notice all noise had stopped and he certainly didn't care about the tears coming from Hermione, he was too busy to notice that Fred, George and Ginny were holding Harry down begging him not to kill the idiot. Percy just looked like he agreed with Ron and was waiting for Harry to do something so he could punish him. "I mean seriously you could have anyone girl you want why would you take mine just to have a practice girl. Sure she has a nice rack but those massive front teeth and that bushy hair make ..."

Accidental magic doesn't really happen past a certain age but sometimes exceptions could be made, when Harry saw Hermione run out the common room in tears his magic exploded and threw the Twins and Ginny towards a couch where they landed in a heap but relatively unharmed. Two steps is all it took for Harry to reach Ron.

It didn't take long for people to try to save the moron but Harry's magic was keeping people away. Nothing seemed to calm him down in till McGonagall voice came threw Harry's rage and stopped him cold. "Potter what is the meaning of this display of muggle fighting, you will cease immediately."

Harry looked towards her, barely keeping his cool and told her what Ron had just said. He told her how he tried to keep his cool but when he saw Hermione run away in tears he just snapped. She gave him a detention. His detention was to go find Hermione and comfort her and not come back in till she was back to her happy self.

It didn't take him long to find her, he knew when she was upset that she would go for a good cry in the same washroom that he saved her in during their first year. Remus had given him the map back so he quickly checked to make sure she was alone and walked in locking the door behind himself.

His heart broke seeing her on the ground in tears like that. So he did what any good boyfriend would do, folded her into a hug and just let her cry on his shoulder. "I really hope you know that he was talking out of his ass right? You know that I find you perfect how you are and I don't think of you as a practice girlfriend. You've been my best friend for so long that in my mind it was only the next step to ask you out."

She stopped crying and just let him hold her for now. "I know Harry it just I though he was our friend, to hear him say those awful things about me it just once again made all my issues from my childhood come out. My hairs a total mess all the time and my teeth are too big and hearing from what was a friend bring out all my negative things in the open like that was just too much."

Before she could go on, Harry gently explained to her why he loved her hair like that, it was independent just like her and that if she cared that much about her teeth she could always just get Madame Pomfrey to shrink them for her. "Hermione I only mention that because I know that's what you want. I need you to understand that I like you just the way you are in my eyes you can't fix perfection but if you feel so strongly about it he would take her to see the nurse and hold her hand while she did it."

He never got to continue because he was kissed within an inches of his life.

Dumbledore was standing in front of the whole school. "Another year done, let us give a warm hand of applause to our very own Professor McGonagall and our students Harry Potter and Hermione Granger for saving the life of an innocent man. It took great courage to stand up to Dementors but also hard work to take the time to learn a complicated and draining charm like the Patronus."

Before he could finish his speech and begin the feast everyone in the hall could hear some music coming.

A candle stick with three candles hopped into the Great Hall and stopped in middle of the hall. "Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now! We invite you to relax and let us pull up a chair."

With that said and done, the chair that Professor Snape was sitting on grew arms to hold him in place and walked over towards the candle stick.

"As the castle proudly presents... your new shampoo and soap products.

"Be our guest, Be our guest"

A tub full of water followed by a bunch of small bottles and scrub brushes burst into the hall.

"Put our service to the test, dip your head into the water."

Snape's chair drops him into the tub while the tub grew hands to hold him in place while other hands started dunking him into the water.

The candle stick points towards the brushes and bottles and continues to sing. "They can sing, they can dance. After all, miss, this is France. And the wash here is never second best." The bottles and brushes where making a huge Eiffel Tower.

"You'll be our guest. Oui, our guest." The bottles started circling the tub. "Head and Shoulder's, Dove soap and don't forget the Listerine and Crest toothpaste."

"We'll warm up the water and dunk you with flair. You're alone and you're scared but the tub is all prepared. Everyone says you smell and they complain. While you look like a vampire you scare the children."

"We tell jokes I do tricks with my fellow candlesticks. And it's all a perfect temperature that you can bet. Come on and lift your feet and scrub between your toes.

"To be our guest. Be our guest, be our guest be our GUESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

With the song done they dropped Snape back into his chair with walked him back to the staff table and the candle stick took a last bow before leaving with the tub and all the bottles. The hall was quiet for about 2 seconds before the first snort came from the staff table. It seemed like some of the Professors couldn't help it and started laughing. Not so surprising Snape was furious and immediately blamed Harry.

While he was right he just couldn't prove it. Harry looked at Susan and then Hermione and they all tried to hide their smug looks.
