Sirius looked back & forth alertly, still growling. Harry looked at him, flopping back onto his pillow with a groan." Just what I need. A rat spying on me" he muttered tiredly.
Don't worry; we'll catch him this time. I promise you. Just make sure not to talk about anything important, rat-face will most likely tell Voldemort
a voice replied in his head. Harry gave a startled yelp, falling off his bed in a heap. He looked around wildly. Sirius was waging his tail, mouth in a doggy-grin, his eyes twinkling very much like Dumbledore's.
Harry stared at him, eyebrow raised." Was that you Sirius?" he asked, peering closely at his animagi godfather.
Yah, it's an animagi thing. Very useful, eh?
Harry snorted." Yeah, if you want to scare the daylights out of someone." he said teasingly, getting back on his bed." We have to tell Dumbledore & Remus, or, well, someone!" he exclaimed in a whisper. Sirius nodded his head in agreement, though he settled himself back on the bed. Harry raised on eyebrow." Sirius, get up, we have to tell Dumbledore & Remus" he whispered. Sirius just gave a agitated growl.
Tomorrow, I'll wake you up early he responded grumpily.
Harry rolled his eyes frustrated, shaking him harder." Now though! Dumbledore said that if i ever had a dream to tell him right away!" Harry shot back urgently. Sirius didn't do anything except to look at him in a stern way.
Tomorrow I said. Go to sleep, we both need it. He responded in a severe voice.
Harry gave a frustrated groan." But Sirius, it's important" he said in a tired voice. It was clear Sirius wasn't moving, for he only responded.
Tomorrow, and this is the end of this argument. Get your rest, you need it, you have these dreams too often.
Harry stayed silent, turning on his side, and sighing in a defeated voice. He could always go once his godfather was asleep, after all.
Dont.Even.Try It.
So much for that idea...
Ohhh Harryyyy.
....
Hey, Harry get up.
....
Hullooooooo
....
You better not plan to sleep all day. I'll goto drastic measures
....
still no answer? Hey Harry, there's a really cute girl sitting next to you.
....
darn, worked with James...
....
Harry Potter, wake up NOW
"Just a minute Professor, I'll transfigure my toad later..."
ok...i coulda swore i had that same dream...
....
HARRY JAMES POTTER GET UP NOW!
"Wha...?"
Finally. You wouldn't wake up. I tooooold you that you needed rest Sirius said in a chirpy singsong voice.
"I get the point!" Harry said laughing, sitting up in bed, getting up & showered & dressed. He grabbed his cloak, stuffing it in his pocket, walking out of the common room, and letting Sirius lead him to Remus' office., which happened to be concealed behind a marble phoenix.
"What's the password?"
I think full moon
"Full Moon"
the phoenix moved to the side, allowing them entrance to the office. Remus smiled at them." Get any rest?" he asked cheerfully. They both nodded. Sirius transformed once the entrance closed."Yeah, we got pretty much a lot of rest. Well, anyways, Harry had a dream about our oh so favorite rat-man." Sirius said in fake cheerfulness.
"Harry?" Remus asked, turning towards him, and sitting down.
"Well, Voldemort had asked Wormtail if he had found Sirius, and he said yes, he was at Hogwarts with me. Then, he told Wormtail to stay at Hogwarts & spy on me, but not to leave Hogwarts until Nagini, his pet snake, said he could leave. Wormtail told Voldemort that Sirius, or I would recognize him, and Voldemort put crucatiatus curse on him. I woke up then, and had a small mind argument with Sirius." Harry concluded, looking at Sirius with a eyebrow raised.
Sirius snorted." You needed your rest, & so did I."
Remus watched them, amused." Well then, we'll have to alert Dumbledore, plus be on alert ourselves for the rat. Tell Ron, Hermione, & anyone else that'll listen to you, or knows about Sirius." Remus ordered.
Harry nodded." I better go, Ron & Hermione get up at this time. Bye Remus, Sirius. See you in DADA after breakfast." Harry called as the stone phoenix slid back in place.
Harry made his way to the Gryffindor Tower, luckily dodging Filch & his horrid cat, but running into Peeves on his way there at least five times.
" Password?" the Fat Lady squawked
"dudleykins"
"correct"
The Fat Lady, having overheard Harry telling Ron all of his Aunt's pet names for his cousin, decided to change the password to one of them. Namely, Dudleykins.
Harry climbed through the portrait hole ,to find Ron playing chess with Neville, who was amazingly holding up against Ron. Hermione, was once again talking to Linda once more.
" I wonder where Harry is…"
"Did you see that dog? That wasn't a dog" Linda's voice dropped down softly, only those right next to her could hear.
"W-What do you mean, Linda?" Hermione asked nervously, her face slightly pale.
"Promise me you won't tell a soul about this, except for Ron & Harry!" she said in a whisper.
"I promise"
"That dog is really Sirius Black. My mum knew him from her own school days here, ever since first-" she was cut off by Hermione gasping.
Ron & Harry both reached her at the same time." Calm down Mione, calm down already! Linda, what did you say to her?!" snapped Ron angrily.
Hermione calmed down finally, to say," S-She knows Snuffles is innocent!" Hermione whispered, shocked.
Harry grinned widely, relieved." I thought Ron, Mione, Dumbledore, & Remus were the only ones that knew!" he exclaimed happily in a hushed voice.
Linda nodded." My mum would want to know how he's doing, could I- see him? My mum said that he was one of the best people around, loyal, funny, everything. Bit of a temper, but cool all the same. That's a direct quote from my mum." Linda rambled on.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Calm down" Ron whispered amusedly.
" I guess we could go right now.." Harry said uncertainly, but pushed his uncertain thoughts away from his head, & led them to the Phoenix statue, said the password, and let them in.
"Remus, we're going to have to find both of them, and soon!"
" I'm not stupid you know. We'll find them, or they'll find us. Both of them always knew what we were up to"
"Yeah, just like they knew about Pettigrew, eh Moony?"
"Shut up Padfoot. Jeez, we never really hung out with the rat."
"True. We need to find them fir-"
"NO. They'll come to us. Both are sensible, if not reckless. We'd get chewed out if they saw us come to them-"
"Moony, I don't care. I haven't been chewed out by either of them in 14 years. I'll be in heaven if they chew me out."
The four exchanged glances, both amused & confused. "Erm- Remus? Sirius?"
Harry ventured nervously.
"AUGH!-"
"Ahh, Jeez, don't scare me like that Harry. Oh, Ron! Hermione! Great to see both of you again.- L-" Sirius' chatter died away as he saw Linda. "Hi" he managed to say, before lapsing into silence.
Remus looked at him, as if asking him to continue his conversation.
Linda frowned deeply." Hi. You're Sirius Black, right? My mum knew you, D'you remember Natalie Moss? Said she was good friends with you" Linda broke the silence.
Sirius nodded faintly." Course I knew Natalie. Sensible, not that quiet, one hell of a prankster, not to mention lyer."
Linda smirked "Yeah, that would be my mum alright."
"Linda, is Nat doing alright? I mean, does she mention anyone else, besides Sirius?" Remus asked softly, staring at the first-year intently.
"Yeah, mentioned some people by the names of Padfoot & Moony. That, would be you two, as I just heard, & Prongs, Nix, & Ice" Linda responded nervously, shifting from foot to foot. "Oh, and some other guy by the name of Worm ,or something"
Remus sneered, Sirius seemed to darken. "Wormtail" They both seemed to spit out the word as if it was poisonous.
The four students shivered at this reaction.
"AH MAN, We got to go eat! Breakfast is starting soon!" Ron hissed, grabbing Harry's collar, & Hermoine's collar. Hermione, grabbed Linda's arm. They all ran off towards the Great Hall.
Remus stared after the four of them, Linda imprinted in his mind." So much like Nat…" he thought sadly.
Harry fell into a chair, glaring at Ron silently.
"I would be so much happier if you warn me next time you do that" he snapped. Ron, ignored him, more concentrated on his food than anything else. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Oy, Harry, practice tomorrow! Tryouts too. Than, about a week after that, we have our first match, against Slytherin." Fred reminded the seeker, but to his annoyance, Harry was staring off into space.
Harry looked at the wall, not touching his food. He wondered why his professor & godfather had acted so weird when Linda was there. He let the thought drift when a piece of bacon flew down his shirt.
"H-HEY! FRED, YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!" he had difficulty not raising his voice, and trying to get a piece of bacon out of his shirt. Finally getting it out, he gave a death glare towards his fellow Gryffindor, throwing it at him.
The table sniggered as Fred ducked the bacon, giving a deep bow, then winking at Harry." Quidditch practice & tryouts tomorrow, first game in a week" he called as he strode of George laughing beside him.
Harry sighed. It was impossible to be left alone in peace to think…
Harry got to his feet, wanting to get to DADA early." I'll see you in class" he muttered to Ron, before grabbing his things & striding out. He made his way to the class, but stopped when he was a few feet away. Two figures, dressed in robes that hid their eyes & covered their bodies, were slinking towards the DADA classroom. Harry frowned. As they slipped into the classroom, Harry tiptoed to the door, leaning his ear against it to hear what they were saying. He could here muffled voice, but stopped, wide-eyed at what he just heard, giving a gasp, he stood up, opening the door & bursting in, giving slight glares towards Remus & Sirius, frowning at the two figures who looked at him.
Sirius was helping Remus set up his new dark creatures, when he sensed someone watching them. He turned around, horrified, but suddenly felt confused. Two figures, were standing there. One, in robes that went from dark dark blue, to a light blue. The hood was over the person's eyes. The second, had on robes in the same fashion & color design, only they went form dark red to light red. Remus had turned around by then, his wand out, pointing it at the two robed people.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" Sirius snarled in a low, dangerous voice.
"Padfoot, you don't remember me? Moony, you neither? I'm ashamed" said the blue robed figure in a female voice which sound highly amused. The woman drew back her hood slowly, head bowed, then looked at Sirius & Remus, smiling. "I told you Ice would be back" she said softly.
Sirius' mouth dropped open, Remus just stared, wide-eyed. "Raven!" he choked out, before his head slowly turned towards the figure beside her.
"Oh Remy, don't act so surprised. You knew we'd come looking for you both sooner or later" said the second, her voice also a woman's. She threw back her hood, winking at Remus. " Nat at your service" she said cheerfully, before jumping into Remus' outstretched arms, giving him a kiss.
Raven was laughing at Sirius. "Stop standing there like I just caught you hexing the Minister, and get over here you dork!" Raven exclaimed.
Sirius gave him his best charming grin, before lunging at her in an embrace." I tooooold Moony we shouldn't go looking for you-"
Remus cut in" You mean I told you. You just hate admitting that you're wrong!" he said, kicking at his friend playfully.
The four of them embraced tightly. When they broke apart, they began talking animatedly.
" So Remus, I guess you were very surprised to find Linda at Hogwarts this year, huh? I told you I would send her no matter what." Natalie said, smiling at him.
"Don't ever do that again." He said grumpily." Shocked the hell out of me"
Sirius snorted. " yeah, we both sat there like idiots when Linda came in behind Harry, Ron, & Hermione that day."
Raven sniggered at her two fellow Marauders who were looking at each other adoringly." Aww, aren't they so cute together!"
Both blushed, slapping Raven over the head. Sirius continued though.
"They have the same looks on their faces when we caught them making out in the fifth floor broom closet-"
Remus slapped Sirius upside the head with his textbook, blushing scarlet." Look who's talking! What about the time Emily Hooch found you& Raven making out in Professor Mcgonagall's classroom? You got what, a week's detention for that?"
Sirius grinned slyly." Yah. She put us together though, so it wasn't bad at all. So Remy, Nat, I know you're both happy to be in the husband & wife mode again, huh?
Nat nodded, putting her arms around Remus' waist." For you two also! Sirius, Raven, I remember in 5th year, you both were flirting & showing off for each other endlessly…"
Raven was cut short when the door flung open, and a boy entered. Raven & Nat gasped. Harry gave glares towards Sirius & Remus, frowns towards Raven & Natalie.
"What's going on? Remus, Sirius, both of you are married?! I never knew that…" He remarked in a angry, yet curious voice. He flung his bag in a chair up front, sitting on his desk, giving a searching look towards Raven & Natalie.
" I'm guessing you two are Raven & Natalie." He said.
All four nodded." Harry, sorry we didn't tell you earlier, but Linda is-"
"Linda's my- daughter.." Remus said quietly, a small grin on his face.
Harry nodded." I guessed that by the way you were talking. Linda looks like you-um-"
"Call me Nat. I'm rarely ever called Natalie"
"k, Nat You knew my dad & mum too? What were they-"
"OY, Harry, you should've waited for me! Mione wouldn't stop annoying us with boring Prefect duties. UGH- Uh, Am I interrupting something here? HEY! The blonde-haired woman looks exactly like Linda" Ron had walked in, setting his bag next to Harry's, but stopped short when he realized that they were talking.
"Nat, raven, this is one of my best friends, Ron Weasley"
"Hi Ron. Call me Nat"
"I'm Raven, Remus' twin sister, and Padfoot's wife. Nat is Remus' wife, and yah, Linda's mum"
Ron nodded, giving a sly grin at Sirius." Never told us you had a wife Snuffles!"
Sirius groaned loudly. I'm never going to hear the end of this.." he muttered. The many footsteps of the fifth year Slytherin & Gryffindor class arriving forced Sirius to transform. He settled himself on the floor, giving grins towards the Gryffindors. Raven, had transformed into a crow, perching herself on a shadowy ledge in the top cornor of the room.
Nat, was on the floor by Remus, she had transfigured herself into a Golden Retriever, since her animagi form was too large. Remus smiled.
"Welcome back everyone. I'll e teaching you about more dark creatures. This is Snuffles, the black bear-sized dog over here. And this golden one here is…Sunshine."
Nat gave Remus a withering glance, kicking his shoe with her back paw.
Remus gave a small smirk, and a not noticed wink towards Ron, Hermione, & Harry.
"Let's begin class then."
A/N: OK OK OK, sorry if the Nat/Linda/Remus thing was too easy to guess at, but hey, im not perfect. J So, D'you like it? I hope it's good. Raven & Natalie, are from my own marauder stories, which I'll post once I'm done with all of them. You'll learn why Remus left Nat only in my marauder story. Hey, please tell me if it's easier to read my story! ANYONE THAT KNOWS HWO TO DO THE BOLD, ITALIC, OR BOLD IATLIC, UNDERLINE STUFF WHILE USING NOTEPAD OR WORD PAD, E-MAIL, OR TELL ME IN A REVIEW ON HOW TO DO IT! I really want to know, so I can make it look better! J
Don't worry; we'll catch him this time. I promise you. Just make sure not to talk about anything important, rat-face will most likely tell Voldemort
