Authors Note~!
GAH! I feel so bad. I always seem to forget about my fan fictions even though this one has over 23,000 words. (each chapter is between 1000-3000 words). I really need to just queue up all the chapters and start posting them. xD Sorrrryyyyyyyyyyy!

So as I said in the last one, it would be illegal and i'd feel wrong posting any large stuff from the book so I hope you remember chapters chapters 17-21 from Prisoner of Azkaban, cause we're jumping to right after that. (Summary in REALLY REALLY short: Sirius bringing Ron into the Shrieking shack the others following then till Sirius leaves with Buckbeak) So we go from there~!

Oh, and because I have to I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT "Aurora", her character, attitude and actions -and some of the plot. (things that vary from the book/movie)- :3

Anything taken from the book is marked with a number at the beginning and end to indicate that is is taken from the book. Ex: (1) (2) (3)...ect.

June 18th the last day of school and everyone is in the process of leaving.

"You remember?" Aurora said "I tried to tell you what happened that one day but you wouldn't listen to me!" she said to Lupin laughing. Lupin stuck his tongue out at her as he shoved some pancake into his mouth.

"Oh shut up Aurora" he laughed. "I thought he was a killer and that you were under a curse of his or something" She laughed then sighed trying to word her thoughts.

"I hear you're leaving….Not coming back to Hogwarts that is" She looked to him sadly.

"Yea, I don't think the student's parents want a werewolf teaching their kids" he smiled with a shrug.

"Still, from what I hear everyone loves you, maybe if Dumbledore talks to the parents and they think its okay, you can come back." She added hopefully. "Well…" she smiled finishing off her waffle.

"Well what?"

"Oh, never mind" she smiled "I have to go finish packing, but I'll be down to see you off." She said as she stood up taking her leave, she wondered slowly up to her tower; looking around she smiled and bumped into a girl. The girl looked to her, sky blue eyes widened and her long brown hair fell into her eyes.

"I'm sorry miss!" The girl said.

"No its fine" she smiled "My fault" she said "Have a good summer" she said and continued to her tower.

"Ah, Hogwarts…..another year gone by, another year coming" she smiled as she glanced out her window, jumped off her bed, now littered with her suitcase, random papers and her cat, and walked downstairs.

"Professor Sinstra" Dumbledore said stopping her before she went outside.

"Oh. Professor Dumbledore" she smiled

"How are you my dear?"

"I'm…okay actually." she smiled

"Have you spoken to Sirius yet?" he asked.

"I spoke to him…a while ago" she muttered.

"So you know about what all happened?"

"Yes, Lupin told me"

"You know about Sirius's mysterious…disappearance out of the tower, no?"

"Oh. Harry told me that part, "

"I'm guessing you will be keeping in contact with him over the summer?" She nodded.

"Or I will try…" she said.

"Just make sure no one finds the letters. We can't go losing a good man again now can we?" he said with a wink.

"Yes Sir." she giggled, winking back.

Aurora rushed off to see Lupin; he was putting his stuff into one of the carriages that would take him to the train.

"Rora!" he said jumping out and hugging her.

"Remus" she smiled.

"You must write to me during break!" he said and she nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry I will."

"You should come and live with me," he said suddenly, startling both himself and Aurora. "When you told me you were all alone at that house, I felt bad. You must come and visit or something" he said covered.

"Yes," she laughed "I'd love to. We could really catch up on everything. I'll come in a week or so? Just send me an owl with your address and such and I'll be right over, okay?" she smiled. He nodded and she hugged him.

"See you soon Rei" he said using her old pet name as he climbed into the carriage.

With a smile Aurora started back to the school. She stood at the entrance and ushered the kids out, bidding them farewell for the summer, the 7th years she smiled, cried and hugged one another and their professors.

"Ah I will miss you all so much" she said they smiled and hugged her back.

"We will miss you too Professor Sinstra." A few said sadly.

"Oh don't worry kids. I'll see you around. Trust me, I go everywhere over the summer" she smiled. "We will see each other again sometime soon," she said hugging one of her students. They smiled and continued to their carriages.

"Bye Professor Sinstra!" Hermione called out to the teacher.

"Ah Hermione! Have a good summer! You too Ron!" she said. Harry walked over to her with a smile.

"Ah, Harry, how are you?" he asked.

"Much better." he grinned.

"That's good," she said. "Have a good summer dear," she turned to walk away

"Wait, Professor!" he chirped before she took a step. "I have something for you." She turned back around raising an eyebrow. "It's from Sirius." he smiled "Told me to tell you he'll be writing you soon." he handed her one of the large white roses. She smiled softly and sniffed it. "You have a good summer too Professor."

"I will," she said. Harry rushed off and caught up with the others. Aurora looked to some of the other teachers who smiled at her curiously then to the departing students. She glanced to McGonagal who clapped her hands, as if she just saw something she shouldn't have and turned to the teachers, Aurora walked over to join them fiddling with the rose in her fingers.

"Good Job teachers, you did well this year." She cheered.

"Well, I wish you all a good summer, and hope to see you next year." Dumbledore chimed in, "Your stuff is all at your houses now, and the apparition block has been lifted for the next hour. You have one hour to say goodbye and leave before the spell reappears and you have to take a different way home." he smiled and nodded walking back into the castle. After a few moments of goodbyes, and making plans for the break Aurora bid everyone farewell.

She appeared outside her house. The place hadn't changed one bit since she left, thanks to her neighbors to kept the place looking lived in. One of the neighbors, Mrs. Davinthawn, waved and walked over.

"Well, how is Dumbledore?"

"Oh him and everyone else is fine…as always" she smiled "How was everything here?" she asked.

"Good, very good. No big things really happened." she shrugged "Some kids tried to get in your pool though." she laughed.

"Oh," Aurora shook her head "Oh well. What can you do? But thank you for taking care of my garden and the house."

"No problem" she said. "Actually, it was fun."

"Well do you want to take care of it whenever I have to go? Same deal as before, if you need to use it, you're more than welcome to." she asked.

"Oh, Sure!" she said, Aurora stretched, but smiled. "Well I'll let you go, your probably tired." She noted.

"Thanks again" Aurora said walking inside her house. She wondered over to a big black sofa and fell down on it, a sigh escaping her lips.

"How comfy…." She whispered closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Hoot! Hoot, hoot!

Startled, Aurora pushed herself out of her bed and stumbled over to the window. It had been a month since school was out and Aurora had been constantly falling asleep on the sofa, she didn't know why, but she couldn't get to sleep in a bed, but she easily feel asleep on the sofa.

"What?" she muttered opening it up, the black owl flew in dropping a letter then flew off. Aurora sighed and opened it up.

Aurora,

You will probably be asleep when you get this and I'm sorry bout that, my owl is rather stupid and seems to take a while to get places.

You told me to write you when I thought you should come over. It would be great if we could hang out for a while! You can come over tomorrow if you like, but if this is at all possible just send a letter so I know to clean up.

Love,

Remus.

Aurora smiled and pulled out pen and paper and quickly scribbled an answer and sent her owl, and Remus's, out. It was around 6 in the morning. Groaning she fell back onto her sofa and passed out.

Around four the next day, Aurora appereated to Lupin's house. He stumbled outside, mostly because of his cat who tried to get under foot, grinned at her then pulled her into a large hug.

"So this is where you live" she smiled looking around his living room, which was nicely painted a pretty orange color.

"Yep" he grinned, walked over to her stuff, "Your room" he said leading her down a narrow hallway. She glanced to the walls to see pictures of all of their friends back when they were in school, laughing, playing jokes on each other, dance pictures ect. She was looking at a photo of her and Remus swing dancing in the grass, he picked her up swinging her around then set her down and dipped her, when Remus spoke.

"Here you go" he sad with a smile. She looked to him a bit startled.

"Oh, thank you." she said. He smiled "That was a fun day." he added noting the picture she had been looking at. She smiled, her cheeks turning pink then went to her room. It was a small room, but very cozy. He put her stuff on the bed, as he did she whipped out her wand and recited a spell which sent everything where it needed to be. Remus smiled and watched her.

"So," he started

"So, what?"

"I'm just thinking..." he paused

"About?" she pried playfully.

"Why we didn't keep in contact all these years" he watched as shoes walked across the floor and ended up against the wall in a line. Aurora looked to the floor then up to him. She sighed and started out of the room and she strolled into the kitchen. Remus had followed her, his eyebrow raised, suspecting her from keeping something from him. She sighed and turned to face him. Her back to the window she stared at Remus.

"I…" she started to mutter. "I think it was because of the death…." She said quietly.

"But…It made us closer…for three years…anyway you think it would have kept us that close…" he replied just as quietly.

"You would think." She said tilting her head. "But…" she sighed.

"But?"

"You were hell bent that Sirius had killed James and Lilly." She muttered. "And I knew he didn't. You were sweet, and kept me sane…but… I think that's…why"

"Just because of that?" he said hurt.

"Just because of that." She looked to the floor then up at him. "But…I mean…It was really hard for me…" She muttered "I mean…I was…" she sighed. "You know." He nodded and strolled up to her hugging her tightly.

"Yea I know" he said, she couldn't…wouldn't hold it back any longer.

"I can't believe it" she said. "I was right after all these years, and now that we know the truth, we can't even prove his innocence. We're stuck...in the same position again" she sighed. "We can't see him, We can't do anything." He looked down, unsure of what to say or do, so he just hugged her, not just to comfort her, but to comfort himself as well. Their friend was in a rough position. After a couple of minutes, Aurora pulled away and Remus started talking about the old times back at school. She couldn't help but grin.

"Man" she giggled "I'd give anything to go back in time and live through our school days again" she smiled. He laughed and nodded in agreement. "What time is it?"

"4:40" he said.

"Wanna go for a lunch-dinner?" she asked. He smiled, stood up and offered her a hand.

"Where too?" he asked. She bit her lip thinking then linked arms with him.

"Well…What's good around here?"

"There is a nice muggle restaurant not to far away, and a few good magical places a little farther away" She made a face and then grinned.

"Magical would be better…considering I have no muggle money" He laughed and nodded.

"That would probably be best then," he grinned. "Well which place? There is Coribin Mexican, MCee, and Elle's," he said. She thought biting her bottom lip.

"Hummmm" she said. "How about MCee" she smiled. He nodded, she held up a finger indicating, one moment, and ran off to go fix her makeup and get her wand. She returned moments later, laced arms with him once more and they apperated outside of MCee. A very nice restaurant not to far away from Remus's house, it was slightly crowded but not very loud. She smiled and strolled in looking to the hostess who smiled at her, and then looked a little past Aurora to see Remus.

"Party of two?" she asked. Remus nodded.

"This way!" she hostess said leading them over to a table near the middle of the room. There was a water fall that fell into a little river with fish in it next to their table. Aurora smiled and reached out letting her fingers pass through the water.

"Ah," she smiled "This is so nice" she said.

"Yea it's very pretty"

"Don't you just love magic?" she said smiling. A waitress walked up with smiling, a floating note pad next to her.

"What can I get you guys to drink?" she asked.

"Tea" Remus's said.

"Chardonnay?" Aurora smiled. The waitress smiled and started off, two menus appeared in front of them. She opened up the menu and started looking, as did Remus. Aurora drummed her fingers on the table thinking as she looked over the menu. Remus on the other hand had set down his menu smiling. Aurora sighed after a moment and set hers down also.

"Dinner ravioli, garlic bread and a salad" Remus said.

"Make that two!" Aurora chimed in suddenly.

"Righto!" the waitress said and scampered off to go place the order. Though it was a magical restaurant they cooked the old fashion way, which…is how most people seemed to like it.

"So…" Aurora glanced to Lupin, a evil grin slipping over her lips. "Anyone you like?" she smiled softly, it was like when they were in school, questioning about love lives.

"Hum…Why do you ask?" he grinned and blushed. She stuck her tongue out at him smiling, and looked down to her wine.

"Just…Wondering" she smiled, he gave her a odd look as she looked up at him. "What, I can't ask one of my best friends who he likes anymore?" she said with a slight tilt to her head. He looked at her and shook his head holding back a laugh.

"Well, no one really" he said stirring his tea a bit.

"What do you mean by that?" she grinned his response had been a little…fake. "I mean…with the really part" she smiled. He raised an eyebrow at her and shook his head.

"Just what it sounds like. No one really" Aurora laughed and then smiled and sipped her wine. The waitress walked back, their food floating next to her head and then floated down onto the table. She smiled, and pointed her wand at Remus's tea and it refilled.

Aurora grinned and pulled out her fork and started eating. Lupin did the same, glancing up to her every once in a while. He bit his lip and whipped his mouth.

"I talked to Sirius…" he said. Aurora glanced up suddenly.

"What?" she said almost snappy.

"I talked to him…" he said biting his lip.

"Well…What did he say? How is he doing?"

"He…" Lupin looked away then back to her, Aurora's heart had more…or less stopped during this time, as she waited for Lupin to continue. "He is okay" he smiled. "Just in hiding. He wanted..." he dug around in his pockets trying to find something. "Me to give you" he continued looking. "This!" he handed her a small letter. She raised an eyebrow and looked at it. Slipping her fingers underneath the flap and pulled out the letter.

Aurora,

I hope you are doing well, Lupin said that you would most likely be spending the summer with him, that's good.

I wanted to write you to tell you that I'll be seeing you soon. I must wait a bit longer, but I WILL see you soon, do me a favor and if you see Harry tell him I am okay. I fear the ministry will be intercepting any letters going to Harry and I know that you could actually talk to him and tell him I am fine. I'll try sending him letters but I just want to make sure he will be okay.

Have fun with the mutt. I can't wait to see you

Love,

SB.

Aurora chuckled at the joke and folded the letter up slipping it into her coat pocket. She started to eat again; Lupin was watching her as she started to eat. He sighed, looked to his food and finished eating.

Aurora set her napkin on her lap only to hear an odd sound. Looking to her lap there was a picture that had fallen out of the envelope. It was Sirius; he looked healthier his skin wasn't as pale, and his hair was looking cleaner, he seemed to be gaining wait, he wasn't as skeleton-ish, he was really starting to look normal. She smiled as Sirius waved, he was sitting on the beach a giant colorful bird sitting next to him. Remus looked up at her confused; she seemed to have tears in her eyes.

"Aurora?" he said. She shook her head and looked up at him covering half her face in her right hand. After a moment she picked it up showed it to Remus. He smiled softly and continued eating.

"That's sweet of him," he said. "I hope you, we, get to see him soon"

The summer passed by fast. The two spent all their time together; going on trips to different cities, visiting museums, going to the beach, pretty much anything you could think of they did. They fell back to how they had been at school. Closer than ever now though, new pictures of the two were scattered around the house, hints of her living with him were everywhere now. In fact, most of his neighbors thought they were together, which neither of them ever addressed.

Aurora had less than a week to get ready to go back to school, it was time for her to go home. She smiled and hugged Lupin.

"Well…" he said. "I can't come back to the school, sadly" He frowned as she leaned on him.

"Yeah, of course...and guess what's happening this year!" she said her voice perky suddenly as she pulled out the letter she had received that morning.

"Hum?"

"This year is the Triwizard tournament!"

Lupin's face scrunched up. "Well that's just not fair!" he huffed.

"Hey…" she said nudging him. "I may be able to sneak you in. Or something like that" He looked to her with a smile. She rubbed his head, messing up his already messy mouse brown hair and grabbed her bags. "I'll write you and tell you what the task is...when it's closer to when the games start." She smiled. He nodded and hugged her tightly and bit her farewell. "See ya mutt."

"Bye Rei" he grinned.

She disappeared with a POP.

Reappearing in her house she smiled and threw her stuff down and fell upon her own couch, it had been a while and she was starting to question why she even had her house. She was sure next summer would be the same, go live with Remus, go back to school. She sighed, snuggled up to a pillow and fell asleep.

Sirius was sitting on the stoop, his back against the door. He had his hair combed and neat, he stood up when he heard the unmistakable sound of appertain, brushed off his black baggy pants and flatting his long dark brown trench coat and matching baggy shirt, and tapped the doorbell. She rolled over groaning. It rang again, she moaned, and another ring. She rolled off the sofa and fell onto the carpet.

"Owww…." She muttered pushing herself up only to hit her head on a small glass table. "OUCH!" she yelled.

"Aurora!" Sirius called out his voice was softer not as rough. Aurora froze at the sound of his voice. Her eyes winding she pushed herself up quickly and rushed to the door.

"Sirius." she muttered as the door flew open. He stood there with a smile.

So that's it for this chapter~! It was mostly summary of things that had happened...and most of the summer. Not a lot was all to important to go into. You can imagine what you want for what happened between Remus and Aurora. You'd most likely be right. (Well, maybe...) I'm gonna try to get the next chapter up ASAP. :D OH OHOH OHOHOHOHO

IMPORTANT PLEASE!
