Disclaimer: I am not worthy! I am no master mind! I only own Sarah!

The ink from Remus' quill made a rather large bolt on his parchment which forced him to crumple it and retrieve another. Sirius had asked Remus to send letters every week to keep him updated on Harry, but Remus also secretly knew it was to keep updated on what was going on with Sarah. But how would he tell him what Sarah had disclosed to him?
After discovering her 'secret' the rest of her story came tumbling out for him like flood waters. She had given birth to a baby girl, Elizabeth Marie Seliven, five months after Lily and James were killed. When the girl was a month old Sarah had taken her to the Salem Orphanage in the states (this is where she was at the time). After that Sarah spent ten years jumping from country to country to try to escape the truth that she had given her only daughter away. Next she returned to England where she took care of Sirius' parents until they died. Finally Dumbledore called her from her house in Ireland and asked her to take the job for the year.
But how can I tell Sirius he has a daughter?
Looking down at the parchment he sighed then began to write. He told Sirius about Harry's Quidditch game and how his friends were getting on. He told him about the American students who would be coming for next semester and how quiet it seemed to be. when it came time to talk of Sarah he simply wrote that he should come visit her.
Remus needed advice but who could he trust with this? Then something came to mind; if he had told one person everything he knew when he was younger the marauders wouldn't have gotten in half of the trouble that they had. He moved swiftly to the headmaster's office but didn't know what to do when he got there.
"Remus? Can I help you?" Dumbledore asked smiling.
It was in Remus' opinion that Dumbledore probably already knew what he was about t say but the old wizard liked to let people feel as if they were in charge. "Er... I was worrying about Professor McKinley. I think that it would be best if she and Sirius saw each other again, get everything out in the open between the two. And it might be good for Harry to see both his godparents at the same time."
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled up at one of his many former students; "I believe Sirius was already planning on spending Christmas with Harry, as for Professor McKinley.... I shall leave them to sort out any unresolved vendettas they may have with each other."
"I think that's for the best," Remus nodded before leaving.

Remus couldn't help but smile later on that week even though there was another full moon coming in five days. Harry had a mischievous grin on his face it seemed all the time now from coming into his birth-right and doing a prank at least every week; it was like seeing James again. Dumbledore seemed to have something up his sleeve since every time Remus saw the old wizard there was a twinkle in his eye. Any sign of Lord Voldemort in Hogsmeade or by Hogwarts seemed completely gone as the grounds turned cold and winter started to set in. The only problem seemed to be Sarah, who was getting an infamous case of the holiday blues; Remus tried to shrug it off and tell himself that she would be alright again when she saw Sirius.

(A/N): now I was thinking about stopping there but you people are so nice I kept going!

Winter break soon came and Sarah found herself haunted by memories even Remus could not lighten her mood. Ron and Harry had snowball fights while Hagrid and Remus watched but always ended up playing as well.
Once a snowball went astray and hit Sarah right in the back of the head; "You'll pay for that Moony!" Sarah called and enchanted several snowballs to rapidly hit Remus one after another. "Ha! Ha! Ha!" She laughed; "serves you right! I was reading!" Turning back around she reached for her book but stopped when she saw something, a big black dog.
The dog watched her from the trees in the forest, she looked away and then back but it was gone. "Sarah! Princess! Please," Remus laughed; "make it stop!"
"Disarmay!" She said but was still staring at the tree line. 'It couldn't be him, it just couldn't be,' she thought.
"Rem-, I mean professor," Harry asked getting up from the snow bank; "why do you call professor McKinley princess?"
Sarah snapped out of her trace as she picked up her book; "My name, Sarah, means princess Harry."
"I always thought it was because you were youngest and the way your boyfriend treated you," Remus smiled a bit.
"It might be because of that to," Sarah smiled then remembered the dog she had seen and headed towards the castle.
"Are you all right Sarah?" Remus asked catching up with her.
She smiled looking at him, only two weeks ago had she told him the whole truth about her past. Every single detail, no one else on earth knew about all of it. Gently she kissed him on the cheek; "I'm fine Remus."
He gave her a questioning look as he put an arm around her escorting her into the castle followed by Hagrid, Ron, and Harry. "Are you sure?" Remus whispered.
Hagrid took note of the conversation and slapped a hand on each of the student's shoulder; "Come you two. Let's be going down to the kitchens to get some warm pumpkin juice." Reluctantly they both agreed and allowed themselves to be led down stairs.
"Remus," Sarah told him gently; "you've got to stop this. I'm exactly the same as before, you must stop babying me. I do appreciate it though."
"I'm sorry Sarah," he slumped his shoulders; "it just seems so unfair for you. You lost everything: friends, family and a home in a matter of days. And I was part of the reason why, I just feel terrible. Especially after you told me about..."
"Shhh, Remus," she said patting his shoulder, "you didn't know. And besides I wouldn't have wanted you to be my friend because of pity. Come on I've got some reading to do." Remus nodded, they had been spending most of their time in Sarah's classroom considering that he felt he was spending to much time in his office monthly.
'But I will make it up to you Sarah,' he thought; 'I'll make it up to all of you.' Remus' happy upbeat attitude seemed to have gone away after the full moon came, he could help but think about the way he had treated Sarah after James had died. She said she couldn't believe that Sirius would ever hurt James, Lily or Peter even if he wouldn't stand up for himself in court and was going to try for an appeal. Remus thought this was the worst betrayal imaginable and told Sarah to chose between the remaining circle or a deatheater; he hadn't seen her again until she was sitting at the Hogwarts teachers' table. If only he had known that she was pregnant he would of been more understanding, it was terrible to think that she had to suffer through the lose of a fiancee and a child within six months. But perhaps all was not lost, Sirius would be back today and the two might be able to find their daughter together as it should of been.
"Sorry I was late," Remus said entering the headmaster's office.
"It's alright," Dumbledore smiled at him then looked at the black dog who turned into none other than Sirius Black. "Now," Dumbledore smiled; "the reason I called you here was I believe it would be better if you two worked together, with one other."
"Who's the other person?" Sirius asked almost dreading the answer, Snape.
"Sarah McKinley," Dumbledore smiled at their shocked faces. "I believe you three would make an excellent team to protect certain students."
"You mean Harry," Remus pointed out.
"Harry of course, but also others. There are Harry's two friends: Hermione and Ron. There is also a group of American students who will be joining us for the rest of term starting in mid January," Dumbledore told them; "all and all, it might be better to have all of you together in England to help with Voldemort."
"And how are we suppose to break it to Sarah that I am back," Sirius questioned quietly.
"Remus?" Dumbledore asked. "You've been Sarah's closest confident since she came here. What do you think?"
Remus didn't want to answer. Sarah had told him everything. He didn't just want to blurt out her answer but she would have to tell if the three of them were going to work together. "We should just tell her, be completely honest. The only time she gets upset is when people aren't completely honest with her."
"Alright," Sirius said rubbing the back of his neck; "I'll go talk to her."
