Chapter Four: Unregistered Animagus
"I came here to be alone, Lupin!"
Sarah jumped and looked across the table. "How do you always manage to scare people out of their wits, Snape?"
He sneered and said, "Years of practice, now why don't you leave me in peace."
"This is a library for staff and student - an area open to everyone, but if you really want to be alone, fine! I have better things to do then spend my time with an ex-death eater!"
She then grabbed her book, leaving a very shocked Severus Snape behind. 'She has a lot of nerve!' he thought.
Storming all the way back to Albus' office, she was about to give the password*, when she heard what was about the last thing she wanted to hear: someone trying to talk to her.
"Are you a new professor?"
Turning, Sarah's eyes settled on, what she assumed to be, three seventh year students. The young woman speaking was average height, had beautiful sleek brown hair with eyes that were a deep hazel. Holding her hand, was a tall and thin, redhead (Boy : ). Standing next to them, was an exact replica of James, except for one thing: Lily's emerald eyes were now remembered through this young man. Finally, she replied. "Actually, I'm just a visitor.for now. I'm Sarah," she ended stretching out her hand.
"Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasley, and (of course) Harry Potter."
Ron and Harry mumbled a greeting as they shook her hand. "What's your la- ," Ron was cut off.
"Sarah?" It was Sirius.
"Yeah?"
"Hey guys. Um.Albus wants to speak with you."
Nodding, she waved at the trio, and headed up the passage. Once in Albus' office, he asked, "How would you feel about teaching Charms?"
Sarah was stunned. "Really? Of course! That's wonderful!"
He smiled and said, "I might warn you, that the only available room is, er, right next to Severus Snape's."
Smirking, Sarah thought, 'Typical, of course I'd end up near the jerk.'
"I'm sure I'll find someway to survive the torture of actually living near an area where he breathes. I take it my things are already down there. Great, I think I'll go talk to the 'trio' then!"
Turning, she headed back downstairs to find the students exactly where she had left them. "Hey! Do you three want to walk around the grounds with me?"
"Sure!" they said in unison.
The four walked out into the autumn air, and headed towards the lake. Suddenly, Sarah remembered something. "Hey Ron; weren't you going to ask me a question?"
"Oh! Yeah, I was going to ask what your last name was."
Sarah stopped and frowned, and then sitting down, she thought reasonably, 'Well, there's no point in hiding from anyone.at least for the moment.' "My full name's Sarah Ann Lupin."
"You're not Moony's wife, are you?" Hermione cried, stunned (A/N: Hehehe, I hope you realize what that implies).
Sarah laughed. "No! I'm his twin sister. Now I bet you wanna know if I was friends with James and Sirius at school too, right?"
Harry nodded, so Sarah continued. "I'm known as Mystic. I was a Marauder and I still am an Unregistered Animagus; I transform into a unicorn. To put in into summary, I am the Fifth Marauder."
The Trio stood, shocked. "So, were the Marauders the only unregistered Animagi at Hogwarts.at the time? That's kind of what it seems like." Hermione asked, regaining her composure.
"Ye- well, no, actually, not exactly."
Three expectant teenagers waited for her to continue. "I don't know if I should tell you. I mean, I'm not even supposed to know about this, and it might have been kept secret for a reason. It's really not my place to tell you."
"Come on Sar," came the voice of Sirius. "You haven't gone soft have you? It'd be a real shame to have to take your Marauder pin away."
"You don't even know where it is, Padfoot. Anyways, once a Marauder, always a Marauder, as you once so eloquently put it." After going through her inner battle, she sighed, and said, "Alright! I'll tell you, but you must promise not to tell anyone!"
"You sound like a schoolgirl, about to tell her friends some dark secret. Come on, spit it out all ready!" put in Remus.
"Severus Snape - changes into an - osprey."
"Not a snake? It's a miracle!" cried Ron.
"Wait! If he turns into an osprey, he can't be as evil as you two make him out to be! While ospreys are birds of prey, they feed on fish, and are very protective of the things that 'belong' to them. They also make very good parents! Therefore, my theory, that I've had for at least a few years, must be at least partially correct!" Hermione said triumphantly.
Then, Harry said very seriously, "Snape's not evil? And he'll make a good parent? I think I may die of a heart attack."
After laughing at the idea of Snape as a father, it took them a moment to get under control. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking, and ignoring all their cares in the world.

Whaddya think? Okay, school hasn't started, but Hermione, Harry, and Ron are there. No, they are not in summer school. It's going to be explained later on, but it might be awhile, so I'll tell you a little bit. It's to: protect them against Voldemort, fight against Voldemort, and extra protection for the school during summer. MORE LATER! READ AND REVIEW, because I don't have very many reviews, and there have got to be more people than that reading this!! No reviews, no chapters. No I'm not that mean, but just to try and get you to actually do it!
