That night, the young teacher was still distraught. She went to her room will tears in her eyes and her body shaking. Harry could see why she would be upset over her
friends death and other friends betrayal if she just learned about it. Harry had 16 years to get over it and he didn't even know them. The others, except for Sirius and
Remus, weren't as understanding

That afternoon:
"Why are you crying over that useless bastard?" Ron asked Erin, who was crying and repeating "he couldn't have". She then looked at him, red eyes flashing in fury.
"Don't ever talk about Peter like that, while I knew him he was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet!". Then Charlie, who was visiting, cut in, "You're actually
sticking up for him, he killed them!". She stood up and punched Charlie in the face. With Remus and Sirius following, she ran to her room.

Back to now:Harry heard a knock on the door. He went to open it and found a calmer looking Erin Jameson standing on the other end. "Do you mind if a emotionally
disturbed teenager who is supposedly your teacher talks to you about your parents and friends?" she asked and at his nod, walked in the room. She plopped herself
on his mattress and motioned for him to follow. Once they were both comfortable she took a breath and said "Your father was a wonderful guy, he gave not only Sirius
but me a home when we needed it without question,". Harry was confused so he asked "I know about Sirius, but why would you need a home?". She looked at him and
said "I didn't have a charmed life, in any way, my dad left my mom when he found out about her pregnancy and she killed herself when I was about 4,". Harry had a
look of sadness and understanding, for he knew what it was like to be without parents. "Even before that, we lived in the ghetto, and after I was on my own, I slept in
the streets and ate food out of the garbage, wearing clothes of my back or I might have to steal once in a while, until I met him," she said, looking on the verge of
tears. "He said that it was normal, but I was only 7. When I found out what he was asking me to do I tried to get out but he forced me to continue doing it or he would
kill me,". Harry was dumbfounded and asked "Um, sorry, but what did he make you do?". Erin's face looked grim and she said "Do you know what a prostitute is?" he
nodded and she continued "that was what he forced me to do, I got 'costumers' and he took the money, whenever I tried to quit he would put a gun to my head and
walk me back to the motel,". The black haired boy looked shocked and said "But you were only 7, nobody could do that to a 7 year old!". She nodded glumly and
continued "Well, during my summer in 6th year, I ran away and got on the night bus, I've heard you had a couple trips on there yourself," he nodded and she took a
breath and said "I told the driver to take me to London, the first place I thought of. When I got there I just stayed on the streets for a while, doing what I did before he
came along, that is, until James and Sirius stumbled onto the bench I used for a bed that day. They took me to the Potter house and gave me a home. Ever since I went
back to his house with him and Sirius during the holidays, those have been my happiest times," she said dreamily. Harry, curiosity getting the better of him, asked
"what did you know about my mum?". The girl gave a deep chuckle and said "Lily was never very fond of me, we were opposites in every way but gender. She was
book smart but nothing about the streets, while I could barely read when I came but knew everything there was to how to survive,". The boy understood how she felt,
he was never best in classes but could hold his own in a fight. "She was also a lady but I never learned manners, therefore didn't use them often," the sad girl
continued, "I was also a Marauder, her mortal enemies, still wonder how Prongs finally snagged her. One of the biggest things thought was personality, she was a
girly-girl who wore her hair and makeup perfectly but I was sarcastic and a bit dark who's hair was always a mess and wore very little makeup except for colored
eyeliner and mascara,". Harry was then reminded of his first day with the new teacher and her violet-mixed-with-red eyes. She took a look at the clock and said "whoa,
it's late, but anytime you wanna talk I'd be happy to, as long as it's after 1 a.m.!". The boy chuckled, remembering times when the teacher walked groggily to breakfast
with pj's still on, as the girl closed the door. He layed down on his bed, surprised by this new insight to his parents and the Marauder's in general.

The next morning Harry was awoken violently by a female voice yelling "YOU TOOK ME OFF THE MAP, IT WAS MY FRICKIN IDEA!". He then head running and his godfather
saying frantically "we were so upset that we didn't want to remember how much we missed you so we erased you from out memory!". Next there was a very loud growl
and the sound of someone tackling another person. Harry closed his eyes again, knowing that everything would be okay.

AN: hi, didya like this chappy, they keep getting longer huh. Next we will see Pete again so I want to make some things clear
1:Sirius was cleared and Peter is in Azkaban, don't ask me how
2:Voldie is not gone
3:Peter didn't get the mark till after James's and Lily's wedding
Now a vote: what do you want Erin's animagus to be, it has to be something that could relate to midnight, her nickname. Please tell me in review thanks a ton. Sour patch kids to all
