Ok here is the 9th chapter, even though I did post an Author's note.

Harry was having a great time at his party. When it was time for him to open his presents, Sirius called everyone to gather around the table in the dining room.

"Okay everyone, come over here so Harry can open his presents." Sirius smiled at his godson.

From Ron, Harry got a book called Tips and Tricks from the Best Seekers.

"Wow, thanks Ron," Harry said amazed with the cover that showed Quidditch players diving all over the place, and pulling very risky moves.

Hermione and Ginny got him a gift together, a new watch with a stag on it. He thanked them, and put it on right away.

Parvati, Padma, and Lavender bought him a crystal ball, and a book about predicting the future. He thanked them, and the decided to himself that he was never going to use them.

Seamus and Dean got him a Zonko's gift certificate.

Fred and George filled a box with their own inventions, and a book that they wrote about pulling pranks. On the inside was a dedication.

To the Marauders- Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. The greatest prankers in the history of the earth.

Harry laughed inside of himself, and decided that he would tell them who the Marauders are.

The rest of Harry's gifts were also as nice and soon he was thanking everyone for coming as they left. The Weasley's were about to leave, when Harry decided to tell Fred and George.

"Really?" The twins were starting to look anxious.

"Yes. Really," Harry sighed. "Although, I don't know if you are worthy enough to know or not." The twins glared at him. "Ok, Ok. Sirius is Padfoot, Remus is Moony, my father was Prongs, and.Wormtail was.Peter Pettigrew."

From that day on Fred and George hero-worshipped Sirius and Remus.

The rest of the summer flew by. Harry went to Diagon Alley and got his school stuff. Before he knew what happened to the summer, he was boarding the train for Hogwarts. Standing on the platform with Sirius and saying good-bye was hard.

"I almost don't want the summer to end," Harry smiled sadly at his godfather.

"Now, Harry, you'll be seeing me before you know it," Sirius said, but what he thought was: he'll be seeing me really soon.

The train ride seemed to fly by, and before Harry knew it they were at Hogwarts.

The sorting went well, and right before the feast, Dumbledore stood up to make his usual announcement.

"This year we have two new Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers." Dumbledore's looked around at the students. "They are....
