Delaney's POV

Over the next few months I noticed Lupin missed classes once a month. I had no idea why but I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed. Hermione had noticed too.

"I'm curious why Lupin has been missing class once a month." I said.

"Me too."

It was now a couple days later it was our first trip to Hogsmeade. I was excited. I ditched Hannah and Susan to hang out with Neville. We went to Honeydukes and got some lollipops.

"I dropped my lollipop." Neville said disappointed.

"You want me to buy you another one?" I asked taking out some money.
"I mean, you don't have to."

"It's not a problem" I smiled.

He smiled. I bought him another lollipop and handed it to him.

"Thanks, I'm glad I have a friend like you."

I smiled and said "Ditto."

We went to go meet up with Harry and Hermione. The day continued. A black dog has been following Harry lately. Professor Trelawney said its the Grim. I was in the common room with Susan.

"Harry's been seeing a grim hasn't he?"

"Yes."

"It may look like the Grim but it's not."

"Really?"

"No, it's Sirius Black."

"The man that betrayed Harry's parents?"

"Yes."

"Is he out to kill Harry too?"

"No, he's his godfather."

"How do you know he's his godfather?"

"Because my Aunt Amelia is his godmother."

"So, that's how you knew Harry's mum was a muggle born."

She nodded.

"So, he's an animagi?"

"Yes."

"Does your aunt know why Professor Lupin misses class once a month?"

"I don't think so."

I nodded. The day continued. I told Harry and Hermione but they didn't believe me. It turns out that Lupin was a werewolf and Ron's rat was really Peter Pettigrew who is the real reason that Harry's parents are dead. It was now the end of the year.

"I'm sorry we didn't believe you."
"It's fine."

"How did you know all this?"

"Susan told me.."

"How did she know all this?"

"Her Aunt Amelia and the Marauders and Lily were rather close in school." I said using the same excuse that Susan used last year.

"Okay."

It took almost the whole summer but Sirius was cleared of his crime. It took them this long to put the Dursley's on trial as well. They were charged with abuse and neglect. They were put in jail and Dudley was sent to live with his Aunt Marge. So, Harry moved in with Sirius after that. He was ecstatic not that he hadn't enjoyed living with Hermione and her parents. We were all going to the Quidditch World Cup with the Diggorys and Weasleys. I wasn't really excited until I knew Neville was coming. It was a good game. Our stay was interrupted by Death Eaters. The day continued. It was now the beginning of the year. As always Cedric came to check on me. We made it to Hogwarts.

"I have an announcement we have a new addition to the faculty."

Suddenly the door burst open and someone limped in.

"Please welcome Professor Moody as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

I looked at him he creeped me out even more than Snape. And that's saying something. We finished eating at the feast and to our dormitories. I had one new roommate and one I had last year. We recieved our timetables the next day. We had Herbology first period. The Harry, Hermione and Neville had Potions and I had Transfiguration. The day continued. We now had our Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson with Professor Moody. We were learning about the Unforgivable Curses. Why was he teaching us these curses I doubt we'll need them.

"So, can anyone tell me about the Unforgivable Curses?"

Hermione answered the question right. Professor Moody took out the spider form the cage on his desk and enlarged it. I saw Ron cringe. I don't blame him I would do the same thing if it was a snake.

"What is one of them?"

"My dad did tell me about one the Imperius curse" Ron said

"Imperio!"

That caused the spider to do whatever Professor Moody wanted it to do.

"What others?"

Neville slowly raised his hand and Moody called on him.

"Longbottom, isn't it? Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology."

"There's the C-Cruiciatius Curse" Neville stammered.

"Crucio!"

The spider wriggled in pain. I noticed Neville looked uncomfortable. Part of me wanted to reach out and hold his hand before I could Neville fainted. Professor Moody didn't even acknowledge that he fainted like Professor Sprout had two years ago. I decided to wait until he woke up like I did two years ago.
