Shasta, Mademoiselle Gabrielle, Marie Potter, Hannah, clingon87, Silvia, Debbie, Cute LiL Star Angel, Maggie_DB, and Siriusly_in_luv thanks to all of you! You all rock mates! So here's the story.
James stared at his best friend. He never thought how he'd tell Harry that he was back from the dead, especially with out Lily. "I....er...well a....a..you can tell him that...that I er....a.....um...well...you can..no wait!" James stuttered. He couldn't think of what to say.
Sirius seemed to understand. "You need more time, I understand. Come with me when I talk to Harry. He won't be able to see you, and you'll get to see how much he's like you."
"Ok," James said. Sirius turned into his dog form and trotted back towards the castle with James following. Finally the two of them reached the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class room. They walked in and found Harry talking to Remus.
"No honestly! You'd do great, we loved you when you taught here! We had our best year ever. Even some Slytherins liked you. You really should come back," Harry said to Remus.
"I don't know Harry. Dumbledore is trying to get me back but I don't know if with my condition..."Remus trailed off.
"Who really cares about that? Plus only a few students will even remember you, and the only ones who will care are the Slytherins. With everything that's going one there aren't many more people we can trust right. So you should feel honoured!" Harry exclaimed.
"Thanks for the thought Harry. Well, maybe if I could get an assistant who can cover when the moon's full, and can make the potion...maybe then I'll do it." Remus said, it seemed he did want to teach again.
"Great!" Harry replied, smiling at his success. Harry then noticed Sirius. "Hey Sirius what's up." Sirius closed the door and turned back.
"Hey Moony, Harry. How are you two doing?" Sirius asked jumping up and sitting on a desk.
"Harry's been trying to talk me into teaching again. I told him I need an assistant." Moony replied.
"Well how about Ciara Tate? She rules at Potions and Defense, she loves to teach. She'd make a great assistant." Sirius said smiling.
"Who's that?" Harry asked confused.
"She was a Gryffindor a year younger than us. When ever we needed homework help we'd go right to her, really nice kid she was." Sirius said. "Little Moony had a crush on her that was so big. One time on Valentines Day he-" Sirius couldn't finish because Remus put a hand over his mouth.
"Ok, Harry can hear that story another
time," Remus said blushing bright red.
"What happened?" Harry asked very
interested.
"Nothing just, nothing. I'll tell you when you're older." Remus said.
A minute later Harry said, "Well I'm a minute older now, can you tell me?"
"No, and Sirius shut up!" Remus said warningly taking his hand off of Sirius's mouth.
"I'll owl her to ask," Sirius said. Receiving a glare from Remus.
"Any way Sirius what are you doing here?" Harry asked.
"Well Dumbledore wanted me to stay here to watch you, and incase he needs something. So I'll be around if you ever need me." Sirius said.
At that moment someone burst through the door panting. "Dumbledore...talk...with....secret....person.....attack...in... Somterson...DeathEaters...Voldemort..something about.....book," the person panted. Harry could tell from the voice that it was a girl. Her hood fell down revealing long black hair, she looked up and showed bright aqua eyes.
"Don't worry he's already on his way. Here sit down," Remus said taking the girl in his arms and putting her down in a comfortable scarlet chair. "You ok kid?"
"Reme, I told you in my first year I'm not a kid." the girl said laughing. "I'm a year younger than you."
"Yes but to us you'll always be a kid," Sirius said. The girl looked up and her jaw dropped, she ran forward and hugged Sirius.
"OH where have you been! I've missed you so much Siri!" the girl exclaimed.
"Hey, Harry this is Ciara Tate." Sirius said smiling.
Ciara broke away from Sirius and looked at Harry her smile grew even wider. "HARRY! Oh you look just like James except with Lily's eyes! WOW! It's great to finally meet the son of Jamie!"
"Who's Jamie?" Harry asked.
"Oh, that's your dad. I used to call him that at Hogwarts and I still do!" Ciara said.
"What do you mean you still do? My dad's dead." Harry said.
Sirius and Remus glared at Ciara who looked scared. "Er...a...um..oops." she said, as if suggesting it.
"What's going on?" Harry asked. Everyone
looked at him and didn't know what to say.
