A/N: in the last chapter I read it over once more after I posted it and I messed up V's name and put Alicia, sorry for the mistake if you got confused. Alicia is another character from another story of mine. Sorry.

Ch.14: Great news

Two weeks had past and Professor Minten had resigned and Lily and James were back on schedule though, Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall were watching them closely. Since their dream sequences both of them were given sleeping droughts so that they would rest easily without interruptions. Professor Sundi became their history Professor, to which everyone was pleased, even the slytherine, everyone enjoyed having him.

"Alright now today I'd like to talk about the personal history projects you all have been assigned, Professor Minten did leave me a list of partners which is great, but I'd like to know how far along all of you are, because I thought possibly we could share what we've learned about each other, sort of as a preview of what we'll be seeing later on, so who would like to go first?" Professor Sundi asked looked around the class.

"No one?"

Suddenly Belle raised her hand.

"Ms. Desiree?" the professor asked kindly.

"Vell my partner is Remus and I found out zat his father works in ze ministry in ze jinxes and charms division." Belle said.

Professor Sundi nodded and asked a few more students of their progress.

"Professor?" one boy asked/ Sundi turned to him.

"Yes Mr. Kilter?" Professor Sundi asked.

"Well since we are sharing things about us can you tell us some things about yours, you know cuz I don't think all of us has ever had you as a teacher before," the boy said.

Other students nodded in agreement. Sundi thought for a moment glancing to James and Sirius, "What would you like to know?" he asked.

"When did you start teaching?" Natalie Gilson asked quickly and abruptly.

Sundi thought for a moment. "When I turned eighteen, so nineteen years ago," he said calmly.

"DO you have any family here in the UK?" another student asked.

"Yes I do, only a brother, and a few cousins,"

He said.

Lily then raised her hand.

"Ms. Evans?"

"Why did you start teaching, and what was your first subject you taught?"

Professor Sundi smiled at the question.

"I started because I loved interacting with wizards and witches, teaching people have always been fun for me, I enjoyed history because it is so fascinating the way history repeats itself, it's quite funny. The first subject I ever taught was muggle studies . . .haha, I had a little bit of trouble with that one." He said reminiscing on the thought.

"Why what was the trouble?" Vanessa asked.

"Well at the beginning of my teaching career, all muggle studies students were supposed to go to a muggle store and identify things and write the names down, for example if the student saw a telephone they had to write it down and they had to practice using it, well we went to this mock muggle shop which was made for the students, obviously because we couldn't go outside of Hogwarts at the time, so the headmaster made one in the great hall for the week, well he put a lift and an escalator in the room and well I had never heard of an escalator,so I tried it and let's just say centaurs should never go on one,"

"What's an escalator?" Maria asked, a slytherine seventh year.

"Well it's a movable staircase, the stairs move up ward and down ward, I thought it would be just like the ones here but it wasn't."

"Anymore questions?"

"Do you have a wife?" Maria asked.

"Maria what kind of question is that?" a seventh year boy asked annoyed, obviously by the personal question.

"What I was just wondering," she said defensively.

Sundi smiled. "Well no, I'm not married. Centaurs don't have weddings and such things as that," he said.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Maria asked.

Professor Sundi sighed. "Yes I do,"

"Vhat's her name?" Belle asked.

"Ofelia, she lives in the forest with other centaurs." He said.

"So you never see her?"

"Of course I see her, I don't all ways sleep in the castle," He said.

"Alright that's enough personal questions, anymore reasonable good questions?"

"What did you do here at Hogwarts in your spare time?" Remus asked.

"Oh well I actually commentated for the quidditch team, if you all perhaps have seen at the base of the quidditch pitch there is a separate room with a clear window.

Several students nodded.

"Well that's where I commentated, obviously not being able to really maneuver through the stands at such a high place, the room was set up with a window, which was bewitched to make it seem I was at the players level so I could commentate properly, because if I was on the ground I obviously wouldn't be able to commentate properly."

"Cool" some said.

"Okay so for homework I'd like all of you to read chapter twenty, and write a brief summary of it," Sundi said as the bell rang.

The students left. James, Lily, Vanessa, Sirius, Belle, and Remus went back to the heads dorm to chill.

"Uh tomorrow is visiting day at ze prison so if you all vanted to come you can," Belle stated.

"Yeah, what time?" Lily asked

"Its from twelve to three, so I already talked to Professor Dumbledore about it and he said you guys can come, just see im at noon and he'll give you ze port key, I have to go a bit early so I von't go vith you," Belle said. The others nodded.

"So are any of you going to put your names into the time turner?" Vanessa asked switching subjects.

"Hell yeah, of course, who wouldn't?" Sirius exclaimed.

"Vell isn't it a bit nerve racking, I mean knowing that one of those images will truly happen?" Belle asked.

"Yeah but you don't know which one exactly, plus if it's good than that's good for your future.

"Yeah but still I agree with Belle, I mean it could show us something bad, that would be awful," Lily said.

"Guys the point is to liven up our spirits about the future not be totally freaked out about it," Sirius said.

"He has a point," Remus added.

"Well I'm putting mine in, you guys do what you want, but hey, why don't we put our together, or do pairs you know like Minten did with his wife." Sirius suggested.

"Yeah, that would be interesting," V said.

The others nodded.

So it was agreed, remus and Sirius would put their names, in together along with James and Lily, and V and Belle would go solo.

The group went to dinner though James and Lily were saddened not to hear the announcement of the Ball's theme; the figured Dumbledorehad a good reason for not doing so.

The day past by and soon it was another day.

Belle got dressed and left for Azkaban. The others got up a bit late, being a Saturday and all, they all were quite lazy. They all dressed in muggle attire and went to Dumbledore's office.

"Aw, Good Afternoon, how are all of you?" Dumbledore asked kindly as the four walked into his grand office.

"Good," They all said.

"Well I have asked Mr. Potter to take you seeing as I don't have a port key for you to use, plus I think its best if you go with an auror. Suddenly Michael Potter appeared.

"Hello Michael," Dumbledore said as Mr. Potter turned around.

"Hello Albus, hey guys," he said to the marauders.

"Hey dad," James said.

"Alright we should go Belle is waiting, so hold on to each other, Sirius hold on to me," He said. Everyone grabbed on, and they all were gone.

They soon landed in a dark eerie room, with one window and a door. Everyone let go and Mr. Potter opened the door. The door opened to a grand prison with numerous cells and noise coming from them.

"Over here, follow me, don't touch any of the bars." He said firmly. The group followed Mr. Potter down the aisle and through various doors; soon they made it to a corridor filled with bright light. And they came to a single door; above it a sign said Moonlight Row. He opened the door and walked through, the group at his feet. Lily looked around and has never seen such a sight before; Mr. Potter led them to a desk area, where prison guards were sitting. One of them stood as he saw the group approach.

"Potter, you're here . . . again," the man said.

"Yes Frank I am and I have brought a few visitors, with me they are here to see Amelia," Mr. Potter said. The tall guard looked over Mr. Potters shoulder and raised his brow.

"What purpose?" he asked.

"They are friends of hers, Dumbledore has let them come along with mine and her parents," Potter said.

"Demitri, this is your kid's visitors," Frank exclaimed towards the back of the desk area. Suddenly a tall brown haired man appeared with a smile.

He looked to the students.

"Hello, I'm Demitri, thanks Frank I've got it," he said to the guard. He looked back to the group.

"Alright we just need all of you to sign in and get name tags, then I'll show you to her cell," he said with a smile.

The group signed in and got name tags.

"Demitri, she isn't set for anything today is she?" Potter asked. Demitri looked up from the sign-in sheet.

"No, not until eight o'clock, so you have the whole day with her," he said.

Remus looked to Mr. Potter with concern, "Whats going on at eight?" he asked. Demitri looked to him.

"Tonight is Belle is getting fitted for new uniforms, the woman get sized first," he said.

The group nodded.

"Alright let's go see her," he said and led the way. Mr. Potter walked behind the group.

As they walked down the aisle they saw numerous men and women in their cells.

Belle lay on her bed reading witch weekly, (Prisoners were given one magazine per day to read: I know they probably weren't, but then again no one knows what really goes on in Azkaban)

"Oi, Amelia, a group of people are headed this way to your cell, I'd suggest getting up," Roger said from his cell. Belle looked up and sure enough her friends were headed to her cell. She quickly got up and combed her hands through her hair, trying to make it neat and flattened her shirt and pants with her hands.

"Amelia you've got visitors." Demitri said. Belle turned around and saw her friends. Remus was smiling the most and the others were saying hi.

"Hello," Belle said. Demitri opened her door and Belle came out. She hugged Remus and said hi to the others once again.

"I'll leave you, Robert's on duty he'll be walking around, he knows they're here," Demitri said pointing to another guard. Belle nodded and invited them in. the other looked around, it wasn't the nicest place.

You can sit on the bed, if you want or stand, standing's good," Belle said.

"Yeah so how are you?" V said

"Good, I've got fittings duties tonight so that sould be good, getting new uniforms is always nice," Belle said.

"Yeah Demitri told us," Lily said.

"So anything happen this morning that was interesting?"

"Some students received black letters this morning," Sirius said. Belle frowned

"Anyone we know?" she asked.

"A couple of fifth years and a third year," Lily said sadly.

They all nodded glumly.

"Ahheem," a very intrigued Roger said. Belle turned to him. Roger smiled and waved.

"Oh gosh, uh guys, zis is Roger, my next cell neighbor, Roger zis is Sirius, Remus, Vanessa, James, and Lily, my friends from school." Belle said.

Roger stood up and came to the bared wall.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you all, Belle has told me so much of you all," he said kindly.

"It's nice to meet you to, Belle has mentioned you as well," Vanessa said putting out her hand for him to shake.

"Has she?" he asked then looked down at her her hand.

"I don't mean to be rude I would shake your hand but the guard over there might think I'm trying to hurt you, I apologize," He said truthfully.

"Oh," V said as she pulled her hand away.

"What has she told you?" Roger asked looking at the group.

"That you two are really good friends, have been for a really long time," Lily said.

Roger nodded. "It's nice meeting you all, now wich one is the werewolf?" he asked abruptly. Remus looked up a little nervous.

"I am," he said

"Oh its nice meeting you, Belle has told me a lot about you, I'm glad to hear you treat her well," Roger said.

"Roger," Belle said.

"What, it's true; anyway I have a DR appointment in about five minutes so I'll be going,"

"Why?" Lily asked concernedly.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm doing it for a friend, George who actually is on the other side over there," Roger pointed to the cell on Belle's other side.

"Why, is he in trouble?"

"Oh well George isn't as strong as he used to be and well now a days being in DR isn't the greatest activity for him to do so I help out take blame for things he's done so he won't have to be punished," Roger whispered.

"Where is he now?" Sirius asked looking over to the cell, it was empty.

"Oh, his daughter is visiting," he said.

They all nodded.

"Vell vhy don't ve go outside?" Belle asked. They left her cell and she walked to the court yard. Belle was given a heavier coat with the name Azkaban written on it and an ID anklet. Once outside the teens sat down at a table and chatted.

"So is everyone nice here, Belle?" Sirius asked looking around at various prisoners with their friends and family.

Belle looked around, "Most of zem a few are not, but I don't talk viz zem."

"Do you just sit around in your cell the whole time?" Lily asked.

"Oh no, I read, do homework with a guard, I talk vith George and Roger, just hang out I'm not here during ze day so I don't have much to do at night other zan my homework." Belle said.

The group stayed with belle for the remainder of the day until three o'clock. Mr. Potter returned the teens back to Hogwarts and Belle arrived back later that evening after her fitting.

-Head's Dorm-

Lily and James sat in their dorm doing their homework. Lily had just finished her potions homework and was now gladly done with everything. James was finishing his astrology homework. Suddenly a knocking on the window was heard. T he both looked up and Lily recognized it to be a postal owl. She walked to the window and opened it. The brown owl flew in and landed on the table. Lily grabbed the letter from its foot and paid the owl, by putting a couple gold coins into its leather bag strapped to its leg. The bird flew off quickly into the night and Lily closed the window. Lily saw that the letter had the name Lily written on it in neat calligraphy.

She opened it and read. James looked up.

Dear Lily,

Filming is just going splendidly in New York, we just rapped up the first half and now we are relocating from the Bronx to the upper west side, it is truly lovely here in the city, Broadway is just amazing, we should all go, but I was talking with your mother and we have decided not to spend time in New York, because she has company things to do and I have several things to do, Press releases and premiers to go to. I have very exciting news though. Jordan Calling, my agent, rung me up a few days ago and told me that I have been nominated for an Oscar, in the US for my portrayal as Kevin Dosen in the film Flat number forty four! I'm very excited, the date of the awards ceremony is February fourth in New York, also I received another announcement, I have been invited to Buckingham Palace to be knighted by the queen. The whole family is invited and also for the holidays since there will be much to celebrate, what with you finishing school soon, and Petunia's wedding and your mother's company and the news I've received you can invite a friend or friends for the holidays, we'll be staying here in London. So please write back if you plan on bringing someone or just write your mum, I'll see you soon love you, Bye.

Love dad xoxo

Lily looked up and saw that James was staring at her. Lily smiled widely.

"Who's it from?" James asked. Lily went over to him and sat next to him.

"I'm not leaving the country this holiday; I'm staying right here in London!" Lily exclaimed joyously. James smiled.

"That's great, is it from your mum?" he asked.

"Oh no, my dad, he actually has great news, he has been nominated for an Oscar, which is an acting award in the states and he has been chosen to be knighted by the Queen of England, isn't that great?" She asked excitedly.

"Wow, really that's fantastic." James said fully pleased by the news.

"Well do you want to come home with me for the holidays?" "My dad said I could invite some one or friends since we'll be celebrating like crazy," Lily asked.

"Yeah sure I'd love to, would that be alright?"

"Of course, you've met them already," Lily said putting the letter back in the envelope.

"Well true, but that was not really meeting, that was an awkward meeting, I' mean we weren't even dating at that time," James said.

"Don't worry they'll love you, seriously, if they love my sisters ugly boyfriend, then you will be like god to them, seriously they'll love you,"

"Okay cool, and also I'm seeing you in your performance, right?" James asked.

"Yeah, my parents will be there too," Lily said.

For the rest of the evening James and Lily just talked more about their plans for vacation and the winter formal.
