Chapter Four:


A/N. We could be about half way through now!!!! I think there are 8 chapters when I wrote it in rough but I could change it!!!!! Enjoy:}


The next month went like a blur for Harry. He never realised exactly how many ways there were to annoy Snape when you couldn't get in trouble for it. Jenny taught him all of them; even Fred and George would have been impressed.
'Harry, stop pacing!' ordered Jenny for the fourth time.
Sirius and Remus were due back at Hogwarts soon and Harry was waiting impatiently for the knocks at the door that meant they had arrived...
'BANG! BANG'
Harry rushed into the Entrance Hall, skidding on the shiny floor, which had just been cleaned for the student's arrival the next day. Jenny followed, eyes raised to the ceiling. Professor Dumbledore was already there and had opened the door. Standing there was Remus Lupin. He still had the same battered suitcase with the initials R.J Lupin, but newer robes. He still looked as tired as he had always done but a good deal happier. When he was Harry his face lit up. The huge black dog beside him started wagging its tail furiously, whipping Remus painfully round the legs.
'Ow!' he exclaimed. The dog looked at him with a sarcastic expression but stopped. Remus turned to face Harry.
'Hi Harry! I see you haven't kept out of danger since I've been gone. Can't trust you for a minute, can I?' he added, grinning. Then he turned to Jenny and gave a fake groan.
'Uh, oh! Here comes trouble! You're must be joking if you think I'm going to teach her!' he said, teasingly.
'And it's nice to see you too, Remus,' she replied with sarcasm.
'Remember call me Professor Lupin,' he said, dropping his suitcase accidentally on the dog's tail. Sirius yelped and glared at him as well as he could, though it was a little tricky being a dog, so he settled with an awful cow-eyed expression.
'Sorry dog,' Lupin said, grinning and taking the case off Snuffles' tail.
'I suggest we go somewhere private so we can talk,' said Dumbledore, his eyes flicking towards Sirius. The small party walked up to Dumbledore's office.
'Fizzing Whizzbees,' he said and the doorway to Dumbledore's office opened. They walked passed Fawkes, who was sitting on his perch flashing his feathers and into the office.
Remus sank exhausted into a chair and closed his eyes with a sigh. Harry, Jenny and Dumbledore, however, were watching the black dog, who had just turned into a tall man with long, dark hair and haunted eyes. He went straight over to Harry and looked into his bright green eyes.
'Are you all right?' she asked, softly.
'I'm OK Sirius, really,' he replied then, giving up all pretence, he flung his arms around his godfather. Sirius looked slightly shocked, but pleased none the less, and hugged his godson back. Harry abruptly let go, looking slightly embarrassed and taking great care not to look at Jenny.
'I've been worried about you! I was so afraid you might have been caught!'
Sirius smiled, making the haunted look in his eyes lessen.
'Don't you worry about me, you've got your own problems.'
He turned to Dumbledore.
'Thank you so much for letting me come here. You don't know how much this means to me. I...'
'Sirius listen,' said Dumbledore, cutting Sirius off before he got into full swing. 'Just remember, stay in dog form. The only people around here that know who you are and trust you are us lot, Severus...'
Here Sirius snorted, looking sceptical.
'Severus,' repeated Dumbledore, a bit more firmly, 'Mr Weasley and Miss Granger.'
'Don't worry, I won't forget and suddenly pop back into human form in front of McGonagall and give her a heart attack...which could be quite amusing,' finished Sirius, grinning thoughtfully. Then he turned to Jenny
'We meet again, I do believe. Remus has told me a lot about you and according to his experience of you a few years back, you sound a lot like us when we were at school!'
'And you're believing what he says,' said Jenny, laughing and turning towards Lupin, who had apparently fallen asleep in the chair.
Sirius motioned them to be quiet and crept across the room to where Lupin was asleep, snoring slightly. He took his wand out of his pocket and held it over Lupin's head.
'Aquanandine!' Sirius whispered.
A fountain of water came out onto Lupin's face. Lupin spluttered and leapt up, surprised.
'W...who, w...what,' he said sleepily, looking confused until he noticed Sirius skulking behind Harry who was fighting the urge to laugh.
'Grrrr, he always does that to me!' said Lupin in mock anger, waving a finger in Sirius' direction.
Harry went to sleep that night feeling slightly more calm now that he knew Sirius was here.
