Remus Stepped through the staff room door. The professors who were in there immediately got up to greet him.

"Remus it's so good your going to teach again!" cried Debra Sinistra, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. Dumbledore came up to him and shook his hand.

"Very nice to see you again, Remus. Would you like me to show you bedroom?"

"No need to show me and no need to be so formal!" Remus said grinning, Dumbledore laughed along with him.

Remus walked along the corridors thinking of all the fun times he, Harry, Ron and Hermione had. He walked past the transfigurations room and immediately stopped at the sight happening before his eyes. There was Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress, Head of Gryffindor, Strict but fair transfiguration professor CRYING!

Remus stepped closer to the door. She was staring at something in her hands…a photo. A single tear silently trickled down the side of her pale cheek. Sensing she was being watched, she suddenly looked up. She immediately wiped away the tears when she realised who it was. She stood up.

"Can I…can I help you Remus?" She said steadying her voice.

"Ahh…no…I was just…heading to my room, when I saw you and…never mind." He said turning and heading away.

Minerva sat back down. She looked at the photo once more before slipping it into one of her pockets. The image sticking in her mind.

Harry was at Hogwarts early because the Dursleys had gone on holiday to Disney land and didn't want to take him with. Harry couldn't care less. He lay on the couch in front of the large window over looking the quidditch field in the common room.

Quidditch through the Ages. Lay on his lap. He was reading up on the traditional robes used to play. Weird! Harry thought staring at the funny looking diagram.

Movement in the common room caught his eye and he swivelled his head to look.

Professor McGonagall was standing by the Gryffindor book case trying to reach a book on the top shelf that was inches away from her fingers. She made one last final effort and was able to grab the book only to let it slip and land on her head with a thud. She nearly died of a heart attack when Harry burst out laughing.

"Sorry Professor!" Harry said trying to stop laughing will the head of house glared at him.

"I happen to see nothing funny about it Potter." She said trying to hide a small laugh.

She bent down to pick up the book. The photo slipped out of her pocket but she didn't notice.

"Don't make mischief Potter." McGonagall warned as she left.

Harry smiled. Still the same McGonagall. He suddenly looked at the ground a saw the photo lying there. Out of curiosity he got up and flipped it over to look who was in it.

He gasped. Standing waving happily up at him was a young McGonagall holding a baby next to a handsome looking man.
