A chat with the Headmaster.
Katie glared at Sirius, how she disliked him. He was rude and had been a real torment when she had known in back in their time in Hogwarts, then Lily and James had become friends and she had got to known him, he turned out to be alright at first and then something had happened and he returned to being his usual snobbish self. She glanced at the kid he had been tormenting earlier and nearly snorted, so Lucius Malfoy had a kid, the stupid git she thought. She turned her eyes back to Sirius was still glaring at her before turning to face James.
"What are you teaching today?" she asked.
"How to disarm an opponent," James replied, "You want to watch?"
"I have a better idea," she turned back to face Sirius. "Why don't me and Sirius show you?"
Harry watched from the sides of the classroom as Katie and Sirius prepared for battle. The desks had been cleared to the back of the room to make more space for the battle. He watched as they both bowed slightly and then took their positions. James stood in the middle.
"Remember," he said. "Disarm only." He looked at Sirius, who rolled his eyes and nodded before turning to Katie who nodded. James raised his wand, "Begin!" a loud bang shot from his wand and both Katie and Sirius slashed their wands forwards.
"Rictusempror!" Sirius cried
"Protego!" Katie cried immediately. The spell bounced of and Katie swung in with her wand, a jet of light shot past Sirius's left ear, he had only moved in time, the spell hit the wall behind him.
"I said disarm only!" James cried, but neither Sirius or Katie was listening to him, both were fighting. Harry watched as his father tried to stop them but after one of Katie's spells narrowly missed him, he gave up and retired to the side where Harry and Ron were stood.
"Those two are going to get me fired." He said shaking his head as he watched the two battle ferociously.
Remus wondered down the corridor, he had just been to the hospital wing to see Katie only to find that she had left and was with James and Sirius teaching. Remus knew it was a bad idea so had left to find her. He heard a bang come from a classroom and hurried towards it, it was the Defence against the Dark Art classroom; quickly he hurried in to find Sirius flat on the floor panting while Katie stood a few feet away smirking. Remus watched as Sirius got to his feet and picked up his wand,
"You are so going to pay for that." He snarled.
"Bring it." Katie replied. Remus watched as they began to battle again, he looked round for James and found him next to his son looking exhausted, his son was saying something and Remus watched as James shrugged, he then spotted Remus and gave him a weak smile before mouthing, "Help." Remus nodded and drew his own wand.
"Expelliarmus!" he cried, both Katie's and Sirius's wands flew out their hands and into his. They rounded on him.
"Hello Remus." Sirius said cheerfully. "Do you mind giving me my wand back; I just want to finish of Mitchell here." He said jerking his thumb at Katie. Katie made a noise before saying,
"How about giving me my wand back so I can finish of Black." She said glaring at Sirius. Sirius glared back.
"How about you two stop acting like children and get back to teaching the class." A voice suggested. They turned to see Professor McGonagall stood in the doorway, she looked furious.
"Yes Professor." Katie and Sirius said in unison. McGonagall nodded sharply and turned to James, who cowered slightly under her gaze.
"I expect better control over your class Mr. Potter, you hear." She told him.
"Yes Ma'am." James replied meekly. McGonagall nodded.
"Good day to you." And with that she strode out of the door.
Remus looked at James who was now glaring at Sirius and Katie. Remus turned to see that both of them did look slightly ashamed of yourselves.
"Now that you two have decided to behave your age, do you think I can get back to teaching me class now?" James asked annoyed. They nodded. "Thank you." James said and with that he pulled out his wand.
Harry left DADA feeling slightly pleased with himself. After Sirius and Katie little fiasco the class had been split into pairs and taught the disarming spell. Harry to his delight had been put with Ron and both of them had got hang of the spell quickly. Neville unfortuanly had been paired with Malfoy, who had kept beating him at least until Sirius had slyly tripped Malfoy up with his wand, giving Neville a chance to disarm him and the class a good laugh at Malfoy's expense.
After class Harry had received a smile from his father, Sirius, Remus and Katie. His father had also whispered well done to him and all of them had wished him luck in his flying lessons which were next.
James sat in his office marking some sixth year work when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" he called. The door opened and Professor Dumbledore entered. James quickly stood up.
"Professor, um, I…" he trailed of and looked round his office which was slightly messy.
"Don't worry about it James," Dumbledore said smiling; there was a twinkle in his eyes. "Do you mind if I take a seat?" he asked.
"No, not at all, Sir." James said. Dumbledore smiled and took a seat opposite James, James too sat down. "What can I do for you, Professor?" he asked.
"Minerva told me about the little fiasco in your class," James looked embarrassed. "I guess this isn't going to be as easy as I hoped." James looked up sharply at his old headmaster. Dumbledore looked tired and a little weary.
"What do you mean, Professor?" he asked.
"You see James, I asked you to teach here, the same year your son starts Hogwarts, the reason I did that was because I thought you should know about Harry." Dumbledore began.
"You knew that Harry was my son?" James asked incredulously. Dumbledore nodded.
"Yes, Miss. Evans confided in me when I told her about Voldermort going after her. I advised her to tell you but she refused saying she didn't wish to put your life in danger or hurt you anymore then she apparently had. You know how stubborn Lily can get." James nodded, he did indeed know how stubborn Lily was, and it seemed to have rubbed of on Harry too. Dumbledore sighed and looked at his watch, "I have to go soon, James, I have another meeting with Lily," he stood up and went for the door but not before turning and saying, "You know James, what happened isn't really what you think. You and Mr. Black should both listen to Miss. Mitchell, she does know the truth." He smiled slightly and opened the door. "Hello Harry." He said smiling down at Harry who was stood outside.
"Hello Professor," Harry replied. "Um, is my dad in there?" he asked. Dumbledore looked round at James,
"James, your son's here to see you and I daresay its good news, well done Harry." He winked at him before leaving.
Harry peered round the door to see his father slumped in his chair; he looked up at Harry and smiled.
"Come in Harry," he said waving him in. Harry stepped in and his dad stood up. "So what's the good news then?" he asked.
"I'm the new seeker on the Gryffindor team." Harry replied excitedly.
Dumbledore walked into his office and found Fawkes sat on the shoulder of Lily Evans. He smiled and closed the door behind him.
"Miss Evans, I see your right on time, excuse my lateness." He apologised.
"Not at all, Professor." Lily said rising and waiting for her old headmaster to sit, once he was settled Lily took her seat, Fawkes flew off her shoulder and onto his perch. "He' a beautiful bird." Lily commented. Dumbledore nodded in agreement before resting his hands on the table, clasped together.
"You know, Harry has amazing talent," he said lightly. "Today he was picked to be seeker for Gryffindor, and he's only a first year." Lily smiled as she heard this.
"I know, he's always been an excellent flyer, he's like James on that." She told her old headmaster softly. Dumbledore smiled before looking at her seriously and saying,
"It seems James and Harry have developed an attachment to each other," Lily remained silent and Dumbledore continued. "You and James need to work something out, and soon. Christmas is creeping ever nearer."
