A/N: Thanks for the reviews!

Chapter 8

"For I have sworn thee fair, more perjur'd I,

To swear against the truth so foul a lie!"

"It's quite a long and complicated story, I'm afraid, Harry," said Sirius. "Are you sure you want to hear all about it?"

"Yes. But not the tiny details please!" shivered Harry. Anne smiled.

"Trust me, we won't," she said, while looking at Sirius. She had a look on her face as though she didn't really trust herself. Sirius quickly looked away.

"As if I was planning to…" added Sirius, with a very playful twinkle in his grey eyes.

"Knowing you, I'd daresay: yes, you was!" replied Anne with a smile.

"Well, what almost no one knows, is that I was living at Anne's since we met in the Shrieking Shack. She then lived near Loch Ness, in a wonderful, small village," began Sirius.

"Remus once came by, because he was there and saw my name on the door. Then, after he heard Sirius had escaped, and he, you, Ron and Hermione had talked with him, Remus told Sirius where I was living. I already had asked Sirius to come by once…" said Anne.

"We had a wonderful time together, but then Anne appeared to be pregnant… And as it is really hard to explain when everybody thinks you're still single… Remus and Linda were just married then, and Linda was pregnant too. We kind of kidnapped Linda when it was full moon, so that Remus wouldn't miss her. We brought her and Anne to St Mungo's and let the baby take away from Anne and implant it into Linda. She would think she's getting twins, because she wasn't aware of what has happened," said Sirius.

"But in May your name has been cleared, Sirius. Why didn't you tell them then?" asked Harry, Sirius smiled.

"And you think they would believe it, don't you? No, after Luna' and Alex were born, we've been to Remus and Linda much. Then we bought this house and in October Linda saw Alex had bright brown eyes, just like Anne's. She told us, and then we told them the truth. Remus took it all quite well, but Linda was shocked. After a few weeks the four of us decided we'd better get Alex to live with his real parents." Sirius saw the look on Harry's face, Harry didn't believe Remus and Linda would give in to such matter this quickly.

"No, it took us quite a while to convince Linda of the truth, but with a Truth Potion it succeeded to convince her after all," explained Anne.

"I see. So Alex' living here for a month now?" asked Harry.

"Yes, and in about two weeks Anne and I are getting married, on Saturday the 15th of December!" said Sirius with a broad grin on his face.

"You're coming too, aren't you?" added Anne with a faked evil look on her face.

"Of course I am! Why shouldn't I come to the wedding of my beloved Godfather?" laughed Harry.

"Good. I've been talking with Dumbledore bout it, and you're allowed to stay away from school that Friday. You can bring Ron and Hermione with you, if they'd like to come too. It's alright with Dumbledore!" added Sirius.

"Are Remus and Linda coming too?" asked Harry.

"Of course they are!" replied Anne.

"Wow, but do Ron and Hermione already know they're invited to?" asked Harry.

"Only if you've told them…" said Sirius.

"I haven't… then I guess it's about time to go back to Hogwarts and tell them, isn't it?" suggested Harry.

"Yep. Shall I bring you back then?" said Sirius. "I want to have a word with McGonagall."

A/N: well, I reckon I succeeded in keeping it a bit easy to understand, haven't I?
