Disclaimer: Well, what do you think I'm gonna say?

A/N: Ok, if you've gotten to this far in the story, I thank you!!!. The only thing is that you shouldn't complain about the fact that the Marauders didn't get their names until their fifth year because I already know!!!!!!!!!!! I've just heard it a lot and I'm getting really sick of it!!! Ok? Thanx. Enjoy the story. if you can actually endure it because I didn't realize something. Sry, if you've been kind to me about it, but there's these little bastards yelling at me for it. So stop complaining please!!! That was probably one of the reasons I stopped writing for a while.



Hermione's Interference

~Chapter 8~



The day after they figured out how to get back the Slytherins, Lily and Sirius asked Dumbledore if Noa could stay at Lily's house over the summer and if James could stay over at Sirius's. Well they finally persuaded Dumbledore into it so Noa, Sirius, Lily, and James were happy about that.

Then a week after that, Dumbledore called James and Noa down to his office. (A/N: Or whatever they have at Hogwarts.)

"Do you have any idea what Dumbledore wants with us," Noa asked James while going to Dumbledore's office.

"Not a clue."

"I know it can't be about me skipping a year," Noa laughed, "Because lets just say that me and McIllio don't get along very well."

'Wow,' Hermione thought, 'Bet you Harry and Ron never thought that those words would come out of Hermione Granger's mouth.'

"Well, he doesn't really get along with any Gryffindors," James replied, "I'm surprised you haven't heard that because I thought that Linda would have told you because she's one of the most gossipy girls in our year so far."

"Yeah, she told us, because of her sister Wendy."

"She's in her sixth year right?"

"Yeah,"

"I think that she's one of the most gossipy girls in her year too."

"Must run in the family."

Noa and James laughed.

By that time, they got to the gargoyle (A/N: please for give me if I got it wrong because I'm too lazy to check the book), which lead to Dumbledore's office.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore gave me the password," James said.

Then there was a long awkward silence while James thought of the password.

"This goes to show what a 'wonderful' memory you have, James," Noa said in a sarcastic way.

"Shut up," James said rather playfully, "I've almost got it."

"Sure you just keep on thinking that," Noa teased.

"I do, it's some kind of muggle candy that ends in tart."

"Sweet Tart?"

At that moment, the gargoyle slid to the right revealing a staircase leading up into the tower.

Noa had a huge grin of success on her face.

"I was going to say that," James said in a come-on-work-with-me kind of voice.

"Right," Noa said.

"Really I was gonna say it!"

"Yeah, I believe you."

"Fine then, don't believe me."

"Ok," Noa said happily.

James had a very confused look on his face and ended the argument.

'God,' Hermione thought, ' I love talking and joking around with him. It gives me a nice homey feeling for me, like I actually took my best friend back with me.'

"Ok, here we are," James announced while standing by the door leading into Dumbledore's office. The he knocked on the door and then Dumbledore let them in.

"Please sit down," Dumbledore said.

He pointed out two chairs and Noa and James sat down. In the room were still all the pictures of the former headmasters at the school and so was the phoenix, still as beautiful as ever.

"I suppose you want to know why I brought the two of you up here today," Dumbledore began.

Noa and James nodded.

"Well we just found out how both of your parents died. We got the results back from the Ministry of Magic last night.

Noa looked at James to see if he was all right. He looked really depressed and devastated compared to when they were walking to Dumbledore's office.

"It turns out," Dumbledore continued, "That Voldemort broke into the Wind's household and managed to keep alive until the Potters arrived because they were auras and protected the innocent from evil wizards. Well by the time they got there, the Dark Mark was already in the sky which means that he was there. So the Potter's went in to try to save them, but they couldn't he was too powerful, so he killed all four of them."

By this time, James looked liked to be in a trance like when he was staring into the fire in the common room a few days ago.

"Oh, James," Nora cried and then hugged him and held him tight for a while, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," Noa said. Then she cried into his shoulder and still held him tight.

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way," Dumbledore concluded.
