What happened next?

The following day Anthea woke to find Sirius sat starring at her. "How long have you been watching me sleep?" she said. "Not long" he replied "This all seems like a dream, in just a few months I have gone from being in Azkaban, to living wild, to being here with you." "As long as you stay here with me," she said pulling him closer to her "I don't want to think about the rest." Sirius smiled at her and gently kissed her.

As they sat having breakfast in her room Sirius asked, "What happened to the old house?" Looking up at him Anthea replied "I still have it. I go back once a week just to check it over and to collect any mail. Albus lets me use the fire in his office." Thinking about this Anthea said "but I think we may need to rent something in Hogsmeade for the time being so that I can carry on teaching my classes." Sirius agreed.

Sirius went up to see Professor Dumbledore. As he entered the office he noticed the look of disbelief on the Professors face. "Is there something wrong Professor?" Sirius asked. "I have just received an owl from the ministry and it would seem that Peter managed to escape as they were transferring him from here." Dumbledore explain "Fudge decided to use the Floo system and it appears that he somehow was able to alter his destination during the transfer. They have no idea where he is!" The two men starred at one another both thinking about the incompetence of Fudge. "So what will happen now?" asked Sirius. "They will start searching for him I presume but alas I feel it will be futile." Dumbledore replied.

As Sirius and Anthea walked to the great hall for lunch he told her of his conversation with Professor Dumbledore and both agreed that the ministry was a shambles. Entering the Great hall the two former students decided that they would relive old days and sit at the Griffindor table for lunch. They were quickly joined by Madeline, Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys, who all talked excitedly about the previous few days in-between mouthfuls of lunch. Sirius looked nervously at the 3 Weasley brothers and said, "How is Ron doing?" George replied "He's OK, Madame Pomfrey says he should be out in time for the Quidditch cup final. Will you come to watch? Were playing Slytherin you know" Sirius smiled "I'd like to see you keep me away! I caught some of your game against Hufflepuff" Sirius admitted "I don't think Slytherin stand a chance."

Later that afternoon Sirius accompanied Harry to the infirmary to see Ron and to get a check up with Madame Pomfrey. After being given the all clear by Madame Pomfrey Sirius went to join Harry and Ron. "Hello Ron. How's the leg? I'm really sorry about that, it was nothing personal" Sirius looked apologetically at Ron. "My leg's much better thanks. Its OK I know you didn't mean to hurt me." Sirius looked relieved, he had met Molly Weasley before she was a formidable woman. "Well I hope this will help you feel better" Sirius said and emptied a bag of candies on to the bed. They all sat there for a moment and enjoyed the goodies. Sirius felt like a child again it was such a long time since he had eaten chocolate frogs. Harry asked Sirius about the pranks he and his dad had pulled when they were at Hogwarts. Sirius had the two boys in fits of laughter as he told them some of the thing he and James had done to Snape. Harry thought it is no wonder Snape doesn't like me!!

Sirius was looking forward to seeing Madeline and Harry play Quidditch but by the look on Anthea's face he could tell she was anxious. "Don't worry they will be fine" he said trying to comfort her. "But you haven't seen the Slytherin's. They are mean, ugly and massive!" Anthea told him. Sirius just laughed and helped her on with her cloak. As they made their way to the Quidditch pitch they saw Hermione and Ron going to sit with the rest of the Griffindor house. Dumbledore waved at them and they took their seats next to him. Anthea turned round only to see Snape glaring at her, so she smiled at him which just made him worse. As Sirius sat and watched the game he was filled with Pride both Madeline and Harry were excellent flyers. Then he saw Harry go into a dive and just managed to knock the Slytherin seeker out of the way and grab the snitch. The stadium erupted as Griffindor won the Quidditch cup. Sirius looked at Anthea and said "Come on I feel a party is in order." He turned to Professor McGonagall "What do you say Professor?" She agreed. Sirius and Anthea waited to congratulate Harry and Madeline and then hurried back into the castle. By the time the Griffindor's returned to their common room their victory party was ready. The two ex Griffindor's had decorated the room with banners and been to the kitchens for party food. A great time was had by all, especially Madeline who couldn't believe the number of students who kept telling her how cool her parents were.

As the full moon ended Remus returned to the castle and went to see Professor Dumbledore. He handed in his notice and returned to his office to pack, only to find Padfoot waiting for him. Sirius quickly filled his old friend in on the details of the previous few days. Remus looked at Sirius and said, "Anthea would have made an excellent marauder." At this they both laughed. "Come on Moony" he said "Lets go and find her. I think she teaches up in the north tower somewhere." With a wicked grin on his face Sirius got up. Remus looked unsure "Padfoot do you think that is wise. I mean were not children anymore?" Sirius laughed "Gone soft in your old age Moony. One last prank for old times. It's not as if we can get detention and you said yourself you are no longer a teacher here". At this Remus had to agree and they went to cause mischief one last time.
