A.N.1) Thanks so much for the reviews, I'm glad that you like the story and I will try to make the chapters longer for you!!!
Now on to…
Chapter sixteen
Albus Dumbledore sat quietly behind his magnificent desk; Fawkes perched on the end, while Dumbledore gently smoothed his deep red and gold feathers. When suddenly…
"Don't bother to knock Remus, it's open!" Dumbledore suggested gently.
"Hope I'm not disturbing you Headmaster?"
"Not at all, Fawkes and myself were just reminiscing over the events of the summer. What did you wish to see me about that makes you so worried?"
Remus gave a deep and forlorn sigh,
"I'm concerned about Sirius…"
"Ah I see, please do continue"
"Well since Hermione has been here, he's been acting rather odd, although I think it runs deeper…"
"It does I'm afraid…" interrupted Dumbledore,
"I believe Remus that Sirius spent too much time in Azkaban…"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, to keep relatively sane Sirius had to run through all the things, people, anything really, that he hated. It will take time but he will heal."
"But he's been out of Azkaban for about 3years…"
"Yes, but he was in Azkaban for longer than 3years."
"Oh" was the only response that Remus could give,
"So, what is it that has caught your attention recently?" bringing the conversation away from this startling revelation, much to Lupin's gratitude.
"Well, really it's only when Severus and Hermione are there and are together, the way he looks at, at well, both of them is just unsettling…"
"Yes I have noticed…" he declares sadly,
"I believe that Sirius is trying to hurt Severus, him being one of his hates, and if Hermione is the way to do that then so be it, in his eyes."
"He wouldn't, would he? I mean what's he going to do? Hurt her? Even though Hermione is one of Harry's best friend's!"
"I think, in a way, Sirius is going to hurt young Miss Granger, but not in the way that you are wondering, and in his mind, this is beneficial to Harry, as it will take Hermione's attentions away from Severus!" was Dumbledore's riddle some reply, much to Remus' annoyance and then dismay as his words sank in.
"Oh my God, he's going to seduce her, as he knows that it will kill Severus, you can feel the love that Severus has for Hermione it radiates off of him. I think I'd best have a word with Sirius Black!"
"No…" was Dumbledore's astonishing request,
"What…?"
"Don't even attempt to confront Sirius, at this point in time it could be dangerous, just keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't cause too much damage, I believe everything will work out well in the end, even with Sirius"
"Okay, only because I trust you, I'll go now and start my spy work and leave you and Fawkes in peace. I just hope your right Headmaster, about everything." And with that Remus stood and left leaving Dumbledore with his Phoenix and his thoughts.
A.N.2) Now, I hope that explains some things, and as you can see it was a bit longer than the last, which I hope you like. Please review; I like to read your views on this piece of work. Until tomorrow…
Luv Holly.
