Chapter 1

We Meet at Last



I was serving some butterbeers to some customers when a handsome man walked in. He had a rugged look and hazel eyes that you could see from a mile away. He sat down in the corner of the Three Broomsticks. I walked over to him.

"What would you like?"

"A butterbeer," the stranger said.

"Coming right up."

"You're new here aren't you," he said to me.

"Well, kind of. I started working here two months ago. I've never seen you around before. What's your name?"

"Remus Lupin, and yours."

"Allison Perkins."

"Allison is a beautiful name."

"Thank you."

"Allison you're supposed to serve customers not talk to them," Madam Rosmerta said from behind the counter.

"Yes ma'am," I replied, "Nice meeting you but I have to get back before I get fired. Butterbeer right?"

"Yes," Remus said.

I walked back to the counter to get a butterbeer but Madam Rosmerta stopped me.

"I see you've met Remus Lupin."

"Yes ma'am I did."

"I am glad he is showing his face again. It's been 3 years since I last saw him."

"Why was he hiding?"

"I am afraid he will have to tell you that, not me."

"Oh. I guess I'll go serve this to him and get back to work."

"You do that, but if you wish to talk to Remus Lupin, tell him that your break is in 15 minutes."

"Yes ma'am."

I walked over to his table but this time he wasn't alone. He was with some I already knew, Sirius Black. Sirius Black had his name cleared the year before so he could show his face again.

"So how is Harry doing his 6th year, right?" Remus said.

"Yes 6th year. He says he is doing great but having difficulties in Divination. He says that Professor Trelawney keeps saying that he is going to die."

"That's good accept for the death part."

"May I interrupt you two?" I said.

"Oh, hi Allison," Sirius said, "Have you met my good friend Remus Lupin?"

"Yes I have and I have his butterbeer."

"Oh, thanks," Remus said.

"Well I better go. I'll talk to you later," and I walked off.

"So what do you think of her?" Sirius said.

"What do you mean?" Remus replied.

"Do you agree with me about her being really gorgeous?"

"Yes of course I do."

"Why don't you tell her that?"

"Why don't you?"

"She already knows what I think, but she said she preferred me as a friend since I'm the only person she really knows around here."

"Really?"

"Yea. She only moved here two months ago since she heard a rumor saying that a job opening might be happening soon at Hogwarts."

"She wants to be a professor?"

"Yes she does. She is dying to be a professor. Hey, there's one thing you two have in common."

"I'm not dying to be a professor."

"But you still want to be one and I know that."

"Yea I want to be one but I'm going to never be one."

"I know because every year I tell you that the Defense Against the Dark Arts is always open and you just say, 'That's nice,' and go off and do something else. Totally ignoring me."

"I know. By the way, is Harry visiting you for Christmas holidays or is he staying at school?"

"He's staying with me."

"You mean he's staying with me because you never leave my house you even sleep there."

"I know I haven't gotten a house yet but you like having your best friend and his godson stay at your house don't you?" Sirius said to Remus grinning.

"Yea I do."

Remus drank the last of his butterbeer and stood up to leave expecting Sirius to come along as well, but he stayed seated. "Sirius you coming?"

"I'm waiting for Allison to get off which should be in about a minute."

"Man, you really like her don't you."

"She's just a friend."

"Right. I guess I will wait with you. I don't having anything else to do."

"Ok."

They waited for me to get on my break, which didn't take long. When I got off they all headed outside. We all started to walk down to the post office since Sirius had to mail Harry a letter asking him when he would be coming to stay with him and Remus.

"So.. When did you two meet because you guys seem to be good friend? Ever since I've known Sirius, all he's done talk about you Remus," I said.

"Well ever since we went to Hogwarts," Sirius said.

"That's cool, for a friendship to last that long."

"Actually, we just met about 3 years ago. We hadn't seen each other since a few years after we were out of school."

"I see," I replied.

There was a silence for a while as we headed for Remus' house for some tea.

"Hey Remus, Allison is an Animagus too like me," Sirius said trying to break the silence.

"Really? What animal do you transform into?" Remus asked.

"A fox," I replied. Then in the blink of an eye there was a fox.

"Hey Sirius, have you ever walked around with her in your dog form while she was in her fox form because I have seen her before I think," Remus asked staring down at the fox.

"Yes I have, once or twice."



Then I changed back into myself. "So that's your house that we always go to?"

"Yea it's my house. Sirius has been staying there ever since his name was cleared," Remus said.

"Oh."

Meanwhile at Hogwarts, Harry Potter was looking at the message board.

"Hey Hermione, Ron, there is a Hogsmade trip this weekend. We could see Lupin. Sirius said he has stopped hiding," Harry said to his two best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

"Cool. I have been needing to stock up on my Fliberworst Fireworks any ways," said Ron.

"I need to ask Professor Lupin about our Defense Against the Dark Arts homework I am having trouble with it," said Hermione.

"Hermione, you're having trouble with homework?" Harry asked surprised.

"In a matter of fact I am. I am not the smartest person in the sixth year," Hermione said.

"Yes you are," Ron said. Then he added, "Harry do you think Sirius was joking about the new waitress at the Three Broomsticks?"

"I hope not. She sounds gorgeous from all his letters." Hermione picked up Crookshanks and headed for the Library saying, "Boys" under her breath.

The Hogsmade weekend came by quickly. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were very excited to go and see their old friend Professor Lupin and Sirius. Even though Harry had seen him quite a bit. When they got to Hogsmade they quickly went to Professor Lupin's house. Professor Lupin happily greeted them and invited them in for tea. Sirius was sitting at the table inside Professor Lupin's kitchen. He wasn't alone however. There was a blonde woman sitting with him at the table.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, this is Allison Perkins," Remus said gesturing his hand toward me.

"Hello Mrs. Perkins," Hermione said.

"Please call me Allison," I said.

"Hi," Ron said to me blushing.

"Hello," Harry said to me as well.

"Allison this is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger," he said to me doing the same hand movements toward Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Hello," I said to them.

"Ah now that's over lets get to tea," Sirius said pouring tea into some glasses. Sirius passed glasses around to everyone. Remus pulled up some extra chairs to the table and we all sat down. We all drank the tea quietly. When Harry finished he said, "Hey Ron!"

"What?"

"I see a Grim in my tea leaves!" Harry said sarcastically.

After he said that him, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Remus broke out into laughter. I didn't get why there were laughing. I guess Sirius noticed that I was confused.

"Oh! Allison, well Professor Trelawney, the Divination professor, has been predicting Harry's death for 3 years, and seeing a Grim in his tea leaves was one of the first times she predicted his death."

"Oh, I see," I said to him.

After that not much was talked about. We talked about how school was going for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Hogwarts seemed like a very interesting school. I hoped so much that the rumor was true and a job opening would come soon and that I would be able to go and be a professor at Hogwarts. I wanted that so badly. After an hour or so Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to leave because Ron had to stock up on his Fliberworst Fireworks. They all said bye to one another. When everyone was gone I informed Sirius and Remus that I had to go back to the Three Broomsticks.

"Bye nice talking to you Sirius and Remus. Hope to see you soon. Bye," and after that I left.

All I could do after I met Remus was think of him. I liked him so much: he was so sweet and handsome, in my point of view. So I went every night to his house and I got to know him and Sirius much better. One night I stayed there later than usual. It was the night of a full moon so I could walk home and see well without anyone guiding me home. I went home alone that night. I was walking past the Shrieking Shack when I heard this growl behind me. I turned around and there was a wolf there or at least I thought that it was a wolf. I ran towards the Shrieking Shack to get away from the wolf. I was trapped though. I turned around and there was a werewolf not a wolf. I heard a dog barking and saw Sirius in his dog form. Which reminded me that werewolves don't hurt animals, so I turned into a fox as fast as I could. After that I ran towards Remus' house to hide but I turned around because I heard a dog whine. I remembered that I had left Sirius behind. When I got to where I had left Sirius and the werewolf, but he wasn't there or the werewolf. I decided that Sirius must have gone back to Remus' house. So I went ahead and went to Remus' house. I walked into his house and found no one in there, not even Remus. I decided to wait for Sirius or Remus to get back from wherever they were. It seemed to be hours before I fell asleep on the couch. Sirius woke me up the next morning.

"Sirius! What happened last night?"
