Thanx again to everyone who reviewed. I appreciate it. Tempest in Blue, thanx for reminding me about Ron's leg. I'd forgotten

"You look horrible Remus! What have you been doing these past twelve years?" Sirius had finished asking Harry about the Dursleys and calling them several names. He had now turned his attention to Remus.

"You always were quite blunt," Remus said. "And for your information, I've been working with a moving company. My lycanthropy gives me a bit of extra strength and the others don't notice anything weird because we get several days off a month, so I have time to rest."

"I mean, have you been eating? Look at you!"

"Look at yourself Padfoot! You're just being a big hypocrite!" Harry was grinning.

"I don't count. I'm an escaped convict and I've been living in Azkaban." He said this while playfully hitting Harry on the arm.

"But Professor, I don't get why you didn't get a job in the wizarding world," Harry seemed a bit confused.

"Harry, please don't call me Remus unless it's in class. I feel terribly old when people call me that. It makes me think of Albus's beard. Of course Moony works too."

"I should hope we can still call you Moony. It was me who thought of that name. Remember how annoyed you were when I called you that!" Sirius grinned at the memory.

"Well Harry, the wizarding world doesn't take to werewolves well, and they get very suspicious if someone starts missing work during the full moon. I've tried a couple of magical jobs, but they don't last long."

"Oh..."

**********************************

Ron was many things but one thing he wasn't was a coward, so, as he was heading toward the dungeons, he was thinking about what he could say to Snape to defend himself. He arrived shortly and he knocked on Snape's office door.

"Come in," he heard Snape say.

Ron opened the door and immediately he was greeted with a scowl and a bitter remark.

"Mr. Weasley, what is your explanation for your quite unexpected visit to see the mean potions master?"

"Sir, Professor Dumbledore wanted me to give you this." Ron handed him the letter and started to leave the room when Snape stopped him.

"Mr. Weasley, I don't remember telling you that you could leave. I would like you to take this to Dumbledore." He handed Ron a letter. "Unfortunately, I will not be able to give this to him. If I find out that he did not receive this letter in perfect condition, I will send Gryffindor into negative numbers."

"Yes sir. Can I go now?" Ron asked a bit hopefully.

"Yes Weasley, you may go. You also may want to stop by the Hospital Wing and have Madam Pomfrey look at your leg before going to see Dumbledore."

Ron didn't know what to say, so he nodded and left the room. He headed towards the Hospital Wing wondering why on earth Snape would want his leg to get better. The greasy git was probably just trying to make fun of the fact that he had a broken leg.

"Miss Granger, I suppose you haven't told anyone about the time-turner?" Dumbledore and Hermione were in a classroom near Dumbledore's office. He had put a Silencing Charm on the room so that no one would be able to hear what they were talking about. "I want you to do something. It is a bit against the law though. Are you willing?"

Hermione was a bit stunned. Dumbledore wanted her to break the law? He was acting a bit odd. She thought about and decided what she would say.

"Yes sir, I am."
