To be said all in one breath: One day while Harry was having tea w/ Snape and his pretty pink flamingos, Fudge was turned into a marshmallow and Bob also know as Voldemort and you know who and he who must not be named and the dark lord and the all around bad guy and tom riddle and that weird guy and that guy we don't like and the guy who was punished for being slightly evil and very mental who was eventfully sent to an alternate universe where Barney and his gay minions of teletubbies ruled supreme ate him. He slowly went insane and he returned to wreak havoc on Sirius and Harry who banished him and drive them insane by singing that evil song I love you. Then he made it his life's goal to hug every single person ever born. He vanished somewhere in Chicago where he attempted to hug the Mafia leader. Every one else lived basically happily ever after.
Oh dear lord where did that come from?… Sirius!!!!!!!!
Sirius: Not me!
Ummmmmmm… yeah right!
Sirius: Seriously!
That has got to be the oldest joke in the book.
Sirius: it bugs me too. But it wasn't me! It was Carlie/Prongs!
Carlie/Prongs: heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! It was SaraBeth/Moony!
SaraBeth/Moony: Stop Calling me Moony!
Everyone else: Okay Moony.
SaraBeth: That's it! I cannot work in these conditions. I'm going to my trailer.
Sirius: Since when did she have a trailer?
Since I am the author and I invented it.
Sirius: She's not even in this story.
Neither is Carlie/ Prongs.
Sirius: True.
Carlie/Prongs: So?
Anyway, that is NOT the story. Please ignore that above paragraph. On with the real story and I am going to go find out who really did write that!
Sirius, Carlie/Prongs, SaraBeth/Moony: It wasn't me!!!
It was a few days later when Remus and Addi announced that they had finally decide to get married. James and Sirius spent the next few days making sure Remus didn't change his mind and run away. Lily, Mari, and Addi spent the next few days deiced on the dresses, cake, and decorations. Hermione, Ginny, and Ron were invited to come up early and help. The ceremony was to take place by the whomping willow; the marauders decide it was the perfect place. A honeymoon was unfortunately not in the plans because it was simply too soon to the start of term. Finally the day came. (See I swear for full story.)
The next morning should have been one of the happiest on the short reunion of the marauders, but it wasn't.
Remus and Addi slept very late. James sand Sirius however were up quite early. Harry, Cassi, Jamie, and Remy opted to stay up in the Gryffindor tower and eat breakfast later. Mari and Lily decide to go for a walk and the only ones in the great hall, when the mail arrived were James and Sirius.
"I wish Moony was here." Sirius moaned.
"It's his first morning as a married man. I bet he wants to stay in bed all day with his new wife." James said. "Remember how you felt."
"James, that's my sister you're talking about."
"And now your brother too." He grinned. Just then a flurry of wings brought the mail. Or not a flurry, but a slight breeze. Hedwig, and a few other owls belonging to the teachers dropped letters off. Sirius had been receiving letters of congratulations for several days now and so was not very surprised when a letter was dropped in his juice. James glanced around. True they were the only ones in the hall at the time. Most of the others had come and gone. He helped himself to more toast as Sirius fished his letter out of his cup.
He frowned at its red color, but tore it open.
Within seconds a loud, hoarse voice filled the room.
You are a murderer! You deserve to die! The only reason you got let off was because the jury was cursed by your black magic! You deserve to spend the rest of your life rotting in Azkaban! I am withdrawing my son from school! I don't want him being taught by a murderer! That's what you are, no matter what you do, how many lies you tell; I know what happened that night! I know you betrayed your best friends! You are a murderer and a liar; you are the lowest scum of the earth and that is all you'll ever be!
Sirius froze as the remains of the burned letter dropped top the floor. James stared at the letter with a mix of anger, horror, and disgust. Who on earth could say such cruel things about Sirius? His best friend in the whole world? The man who would die and almost did many times for him.
"Sirius, are you okay?"
"Yeah." Sirius replied shakily. "It's okay." He said a little more firmly. "It's okay. It's not the first."
"What?!" James shouted. Now he was mad. "Who on earth, would send you more than one?"
Sirius shrugged.
"Sirius, why didn't you tell me?"
"Didn't think it was important.' But James saw right through that.
"They aren't true. You know that."
"I know that, you know that, but they don't." he said solemnly. "That's the thing, Prongs. No matter what I do, no matter what I say, there will always be someone. There will always be that small shadow of a doubt about my innocence in every persons mind. And that can never be erased. You see, Peter has done much more than simply send me away. He scarred my name, forever. No matter what, when people in the future think of the name Sirius Black, there will always be that shadow. And it scares me."
"There was never a shadow in my mind, Padfoot. Not even on that first day."
"Never?"
"Never."
'Hey Prongs, do you think we could not mention this to anyone? Especially Moony, Mari or Addi, or Dumbledore. Or the kids."
"Yeah. I think that would be good."
Soon came Sept. 1st. The students would arrive.
"James, Sirius, Remus?" Dumbledore entered the room where Sirius and his wife were staying.
"I have just received a letter from Hagrid, informing me that the negotiations with the giants are taking longer than he thought and he will not be able to return for the school year. I have also received one from Severus who says it is also not possible for him to return at the present time. That leaves us with three classes that need teachers."
James, Sirius, and Remus glanced at each other and waited for him to finish.
"Remus, would you do the honor of returning to the position of Defense Against The Dark Arts?"
Remus thought." But what about the parents? They won't want a werewolf teaching their kids."
"Do you know how many letters I got from parents and kids alike who loved you. They all want you to teach again. Many of the parents knew you from their own school or auror days. They say it doesn't matter. You are a good man and a good teacher."
"Alright. Maybe it will be better now. With James and Sirius here, I mean." James and Sirius grinned evilly.
"Perhaps. Now James, you had top marks in Potions. And I am sure you've had your experience with difficult potions." He winked." Would you be so kind as to fill in for Severus?"
"Well, sure, I could do that."
Sirius heard him mutter under his breath." Oh the possibilities."
"Now Sirius, that leaves you the Care of Magical Creatures spot."
"Well alright. Sure. I'd love to."
"Wonderful. Oh and boys, your families are welcome to stay for the year." He closed the door behind him. He smiled when he heard the cheering and shouting that came from the three boys.
They are not boys anymore, Albus. He reminded himself. They are in their thirties. It made him feel very old indeed. They have wives and children. In Sirius's case, MANY children. Four kids, and he had a feeling they wouldn't stop there.
He shook his head as more laughter came from the room. Sirius would never know. And if he could he would keep it that way.
"Stop protecting him. He doesn't need it and you know sooner or later both those boys will find out just why they were born." He said softly. He glanced out the window at the light rain and slowly walked away.
From far away, some one else was watching James, Sirius, and Remus laugh and joke about old times.
"Enjoy your laughter now, Black. You won't have it for long." An eerie high-pitched laugh rose from the forest and echoed around the hills.
Here's the next part. Sorry it's so short. Btw I revised my name is Cassi. So it has the twins. Read it and tell me what ya think and if you want me to change this one too.
Oh yeah. Nothing belongs to me and I am going to find out who wrote that little intro. * glares at Carlie/Prongs, Sarabeth/Moony, Sirius and some innocent people who really have no purpose in this story at all.*
