"I want to go down to the Quiditch pitch." James said looking out the window at some students flying to brooms over the grounds.

"You and your Quiditch." Lily teased affectionately. "I don't really want to watch that."

"I do." Sirius said siding with James.

"I'll stay with Lily." Remus said.

"Great. We'll catch up with you later." James kissed Lily on the cheek before bounding off with Sirius.

Lily and Remus watched them disappear down the hallway.

"They're obsessed." Remus commented.

"Totally." Lily agreed. "They'll never change."

James and Sirius had been watching the team practice until a figure caught their eyes. They watched as the figure clad in dark grey robes made their way across the grounds from the Dark Forest towards the castle. A massive black dog loped along nearby.

The two boys from the future hurried down to see what was going on as soon as they saw Professors Snape and Sinistra who'd be supervising the Slytherin practice rush over to the newcomer.

Suddenly it dawned on Sirius that the dog was in fact himself in animagus form, and the person was Remus.

"That's me and Moony." Sirius told James.

"You're looking a bit shabby." James commented looking at the dog.

"You think I look bad, take a look at Moony." Sirius replied. A look of concern passed between them before they turned their full attention to the scene in front of them.

"What are you doing here?" Snape asked, his tone full of malice. Immediately the dog bared his teeth with a deep growl.

Remus laid a hand on the dogs' back. "That's enough." The former Professor said in his quiet, but firm, voice. The dog became silent.

"Remus, what brings you here?" Sinistra asked in a much kinder voice than Snape, she also stepped forward to kiss Lupin on the cheek. Remus returned the hug she also offered.

"I need to speak with Harry." Remus told the two Professors.

"And why, pray tell, did you have to bring HIM along?" Snape asked glaring at the dog which promptly growled back at him.

"Snuffles comes with me when I travel." Remus answered mildly.

"What do you want Harry for?" Sinistra asked

"I need to talk to him about some things." Remus explained. "We've received some letters, from various people, that seem to suggest that he is slipping … depression most likely."

"Dubledore hasn't mentioned anything." Sinistra told him.

"Albus, while being a great wizard, has never lived with muggles. The Dursleys, who Harry lives with are the worst kind of muggles, they have a strong hatred for magic, and they are abusive." Remus replied shortly. Clicking to Snuffles, the tired-looking wizard moved towards the castle. Stella Sinistra fell into step with him.

"Why should we believe you?" Severus asked walking along with them.

"You have no reason to, only trust that I want what's best for Harry." Remus kept his hand on Snuffles' back keeping the dog in check and from attacking Snape. Snape seemed to accept the answer.

"I'll take you go get him. Gryffindor's are in Divination with Slytherin." Snape offered. The two men left Stella at the base of the Astronomy tower. Stella patted Snuffles speaking to him, even though Snape and Lupin heard every word.

"I always knew you were innocent."

With that Severus and Remus, along with Snuffles, headed up towards the Divination tower.

"I can't believe it, Snape being semi-nice!" James exclaimed as he and Sirius followed up the stairs.

"Harry's been abused." Sirius reminded his friend.

"Don't tell Lily." James said seriously.

"Tell Lily what?"

James groaned as Lily, followed by Remus, came up the stairs behind them.

"Don't tell Lily what?" Lily repeated.

"Tell her." Sirius said.

"Apparently Harry's been abused." James told her. "That man is you, Remus, and the dog is Sirius."

Lily and Remus looked up at the man and dog they were following.

"Really?" Remus asked. James and Sirius both nodded.

"That's why you're here. You want to talk to Harry, Sirius told him.

The four from the past hurried to keep up with the Professor, Remus and Snuffles.
