Chapter Six
For Harry the whole Hogwarts atmosphere was different without Remus. He loved having his godfather as a teacher along with everybody else. Sirius was an instant success with all the students except the Slytherins. The Slytherins though didn't like anybody who didn't favor them.
The defence lessons with Sirius Harry looked forward to. Sirius had introduced Harry to the Room of Requirement which they got to transform into a replica of the Auror training room at the Ministry of magic.
Harry started to spend more time doing his homework so he could spend time with Sirius. They either trained or worked on Remus' defence.
It wasn't that Harry became distant from his friends. He didn't. He still joked in classes; worked with Ron; listened to Hermione's nagging. This year he just felt that he had more important things to worry about.
Sirius had signed his permission slip to go to Hogsmeade but Harry mostly preferred to spend his weekends training or working with Sirius. He was being taught both physical and magical skills and he greatly enjoyed both.
Sirius though felt Harry was being deprived of an important Hogwart's experience. Harry explained to him that he just couldn't enjoy himself while Remus was suffering in Azkaban.
Harry wondered though what they were going to do for Christmas though. Sirius had told him they were leaving Hogwarts for Christmas but he wouldn't say more than that.
