She stood there dumbfounded.

"Are you…Remus?"

There was silence between them, before the brown-haired man smiled.

"Yes. I am."

In a blink of an eye, Accalia threw her arms around him. Remus was flabbergasted by her quick actions, but smiled all the same.

She must have really missed him…

"How lovely it is to see you!" Accalia exclaimed, her eyes tearing. "It's been so long!"

"Yes…it has." Remus said.

Accalia pulled out of the embrace, and frowned.

"Sirius said you were 'too embarrassed' to write to me!" Accalia pouted, "and can you say more than three words to me?!"

"Poor Moony…" a voice from behind them said. "Being scolded just like the old days…dear me.

"I beg to differ, Sirius," Accalia said, "It was you and James that got scolded."

"Touché, dearest Accalia." Sirius said in a humble-like voice, "Once again you ARE victorious in the game of snappy comebacks."

"Yes well, I best be hurrying! I got to get Harry from Gryffindor Tower."

"We'll come with you then!"

Part Six ~

"I suggest you turn back to your Animagi form, Sirius." Remus said, "Someone could be walking the halls without knowing of your presence."

"Tch, fine." Sirius pouted, and turned back into the black dog.

"Oh and Accalia-" Remus whispered in her ear, "We have a nickname for Sirius. It's Mr. Snuffles. So when we talk to him, we refer to him as that. Okay?"

"Right."

There was an awkward silence between them before Accalia asked, "Mr. Snuffles? Who came up with that crazy nickname?"

Mr. Snuffles barked.

"Oh…I see. You did." Accalia said, rather thoughtfully.

Soon they came upon the Fat Lady's Portrait.

"Password?" " 'Sixpence' " Accalia said, and the portrait opened.

The Gryffindor common room was noisy with the many voices of kids.

Accalia whistled with her fingers, with made everyone stop what they were doing.

"Where is Harry Potter?"

Harry rose from one of the armchairs. "Here, Professor." He mumbled slightly.

"Could you come with me, please?

Harry walked across the room with many pairs of eyes staring at him.

He walked through the portrait hole, and his eyes widened.

"Professor Lupin?"

Remus smiled, "I'm not your teacher anymore Harry."

Harry's eyes roamed over to Sirius. "Mr. Snuffles?!"

"Ahh…I see you know Sirius' nickname." Accalia said mildly.

Harry stared at her for a moment. "How does she-" he began to ask Remus, but Accalia interrupted.

"I think we should go to Dumbledore's office and see what he has to say…"
