A/N: Thanks for all the reviews guys

Remus awoke to a cold snout in his face. Grumpily, he pushed Padfoot off of his bed, sat up, and rubbed his eyes. They focused on the clock, which read, "Get up already!" Muttering to himself, he pushed his feet off the bed and stood.

"Good Morning Sunshine! I've started breakfast already. I'm experimenting with bacon slices in pancakes."

Remus stopped mid-stretch. "Bacon slices, Sirius? Do you not remember what happened with the sausage patties? They were so greasy when they cooked, that the pancake batter came apart and the spatula threw it all over the kitchen!! I spent a couple of hours cleaning up that mess!!!"

"I found a pan de-greasing spell in one of your cook books and de-greased the bacon before I mixed it in with the batter." Sirius gave Remus an innocent look, or as innocent as Sirius Black could look. The haunted look from Azkaban had begun to fade and with his new haircut ("But Remus, I like the shaggy dog look!"), Sirius started to regain the same characteristics of James Potter's best friend.

Remus sighed and wandered in to the kitchen.

"Well at least this time you remembered to shut the kitchen blinds," he called to Sirius.

He looked at the pan on the stove and grinned. Sirius' pancakes had actually worked and the self-flipping spatula seemed to be doing a great job. Remus then heard a tapping on the window. "Owls," he thought.

Quickly he warned Sirius, and then he pulled up the blind and opened the window. Then four owls flew in. One hooted happily as it proceeded to sit on Padfoot's head. Remus laughed heartily as he closed the blind then pried a reluctant Pig off Sirius' head. Sirius returned to human form and scowled as he took the letter from Hedwig first. Remus tipped the Daily Prophet owl and opened the paper. Both men gasped and looked frantically at each other. Sirius said "Azkaban!" at the same time as Remus said "Arabella!" They quickly grabbed all the other post from the two remaining owls and read each piece of information. One was from Dumbledore, and Harry had sent Pig directly after he had sent Hedwig.

After devouring the news, Remus and Sirius quickly exchanged news and decided that they should pick up Harry and then take him to Hogwarts to see Dumbledore per his request. Remus said "Finite Incantem" and all the spells in the kitchen ceased. He quickly cleaned up the room and Sirius transformed in to Padfoot. Remus got the great black dog's lead and they rush out to the corner to catch the Knight Bus.

Harry sat in his room thinking about the events of the previous evening. He had already figured out why Voldemort had killed Mrs. Figg. The reason was two fold. One, it was as near to Harry as Voldemort could get and he was trying to frighten him. Two, Harry had concluded that Mrs. Figg was the Arabella Figg that Dumbledore had referred to at the end of last year. At this, the horrible experience of the Tri-wizard Tournament came flooding back. He shuddered to remember Cedric's face as his life was sucked away by Voldemort's curse.

A knock brought Harry back tot the real world. Uncle Vernon answered the door. "Who are you?" Harry heard him demand. Then he heard the phrase "Stupify!" Harry grabbed for his wand, vowing to himself that Voldemort would not get him without a fight. He heard two sets of footsteps on the stairs and he grasped his wand even tighter. The door swung open to reveal Sirius and Remus looking tired and rather determined. Harry cried out in relief. Sirius embraced his godson and handed him a cup.

"Sirius? What is….." Harry felt the familiar tugging sensation around his navel. He closed his eyes.

When Harry opened his eyes, he found himself in Dumbledore's office. Professor Dumbledore smiled when he saw Harry and his eyes gave their familiar twinkle.

"Harry, Sirius, Remus." He nodded. "Glad you could make it so quickly. I'm sure you've heard all the news of our situation. Harry, Sirius informed me of your dream and indeed Voldemort has let the dementors out of Azkaban. The attack on your neighbor's house convinced me that I should invite you back to Hogwarts for the remainder of your vacation."

Sirius interrupted, "Arabella? Is she really dead?" Both Sirius and Remus looked on the verge of tears.

To their horror and then relief, Dumbledore chuckled. "No. Miss Figg saw the Death Eaters approaching in her Foe Glass and gave one of her cats a modified Polyjuice Potion and Apparated to Hogsmeade. She is currently staying on here to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next term. So, only her cat was killed in the attack. Now, sirs, I'm sure that she would be delighted if a certain Mr. Lupin, Mr. Potter and Padfoot paid her a visit."

Sirius, looking significantly more relaxed, changed into a dog and followed Harry and Remus out of the room. On the way Harry wondered why Mrs. Figg had hidden her identity as a witch from him all those years. When he voiced this question to Remus, Remus just smiled and sad, "You'll be able to ask her."

Remus knocked twice on the Defense Against the Dark Arts porfessor's room. A stunning young woman who was immediately mauled by a jumping Padfoot opened the door. Remus laughed heartily and helped the woman to her feet. She embraced him before turning to Harry. "Harry! How nice to see you again!"

"Umm…I'm sorry…do I know you?" Harry stammered, certain that he had never seen this woman before in his life.

She smiled, "Oh Harry. It's me! Mrs. Figg. Well, I was in disguise for all those years, but someone had to watch over the Boy Who Lived, didn't they? Now who is this precious doggie? No, it couldn't be a certain escaped convict named Sirius Black, could it?"

"At your service ma'am!" said a now human Sirius.

She giggled. "Now, Sirius, give me a proper hug, no more of that mauling me like a wild animal business."

The four them sat down with some conjured tea and the three elder wizards began to relive their years at Hogwarts. ("Do you remember the look on Snape's face?") From the discussion, Harry ascertained that Arabella had been a great friend of his mother's. In fact, Lily asked her to be the maid of honor at her wedding. Harry listened carefully to learn more about his parents. They sounded like such wonderful people. He began to think about how nice it would have been the grow-up knowing them and how Voldemort had stolen that away from him. The anger boiled within until his scar began to burn…

"Crabbe!" a sinister voice screeched. "You have failed me once again. Wormtail's soulless body is now wandering in the Forbidden Forest. WHY THE FORBIDDEN FOREST CRABBE? Answer me and stop sniveling. Did I not give order for it to be destroyed? How did this happen? SNAPE!"

"Yes, My Lord?"

"Kill Crabbe. Now. Prove your loyalty."

"But, My Lord…"

"ARE YOU CONTRADICTING ME SNAPE? Would you like a kiss such as was Wormtail's? It would be the only kiss someone as weak as yourself would receive."

"My Lord?" Another voice spoke. "I will kill Crabbe."

"Oh would you Lucius? No. Snape will do it, or die himself."

Snape closed his eyes and pointed his wand at Crabbe, praying for a miracle. "Avada Kedavra"

The Dark Mark floated up through the clearing. Each masked face glowed green and menacing.

A/N: Sorry, I've this bad habit with cliffhangers. Thanks for all the reviews guys. When I said give suggestions, I meant like…Draco with pink hair and a poodle skirt, or Sirius and Remus auditioning to be drag queens. (Watch out! Those may just show up now….) Keep reviewing!
