Chapter 3
Harry was slow to head for the gaint oak door that would lead him to his undependable doom, curiously he glanced over his shoulder to see if his ravenous friends had followed him. Of course they were right behind him almost closing in on his heels wearing supicious looks on their faces. Harry sighed non-audiably and picked up his pace to the door.. *Of course their following you you twit their gryffindors too! That means you share the same classes!* Even Harry's palms were sweating as his hand clutched the door handle and swung it open, cringing at what he thought was going to be the last day of his already depressing life. However when Hermione brushed past him with Ron at her heels Harry opened his eyes to see that the whole of gryffindor and ravenclaw were staring at him and there was also no proffesor in sight, he flushed criminson and took his seat next to Hermione. Seamus and Dean grinned at him foolishly and then poked him lightly in the shoulder, 'Expecting to see that old hag proffesor Maylord back in here eh?' Seamus questioned with a childish air. Harry shruged not sure what to believe then he turned in his seat and stared at Dean, 'So what's going on anyway?' he asked curiously. 'Not really sure mate.. alls' we know is that Maylord has vanished'. Seamus replied. Woops and light cheers were heard thoughout the class but quickly became silenced at the sound of marching feet down the corridor, the classroom door then swung once more to reveal their new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher..
Proffesor Lupin stood in the doorway wearing his usual shabby robes, and worn expression on his maturly lined face. The class stared at him in disbelief but quickly adverted their eyes on the newest member to walk into the room.. a huge shaggy black dog with the body of a wolf and eyes as peircing as the midnight sky had sauntered into the room right at Lupin's heels. *SIRIUS?!* Harry's mind screamed as he cast a surprised, curious look at Lupin who was now waltzing to his desk causing his silvering light brown hair to shine in the torch light. Lupin however did not once look at Harry as he conjured a large doggie bed the size of a coffee table at the side of his desk which was quickly occuiped by the large dog. The classes attention was so keen that Harry could have sworn Neville was close to falling of his stool, 'Good Morning class! I am glad to be back within these walls at this wonderful time that is your last year here at Hogwarts. This-..' Lupin cast his arm out over the large black dog who's head was now resting on its paws ears perked upright, ' Is Snuffles, he's my new semi- assistant and expect you to treat him with the kindness that you would treat any human being'. The class stared at the dog for a moment and Neville seemed to scoot back on his stool to make the distance between himself and the huge creature larger, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat there thunderstruck but were brought out of their trance when Lupin cleared his throat. 'I am here obviously to replace the late and rather ill proffesor Maylord and I hope to make this class as interesting and as full of learning as humanly possible due to my reputation.. now first we will begin the study of the Crup and then move swiftly along too-..'
The class proved to be very eventful and when finished most students were egar for their next lesson in which a crup was to be brought in and inspected along with being studied, in fact the students were so caught up in their glee that many of them did not notice the three missing students all gryffindors. Harry, Ron and Hermione sat on desks at the front of the classroom staring down at Sirius who was sleeping soundly on his side while Lupin cleared the blackboard of their previous lesson. 'So?' asked Harry in an curious yet almost demanding voice as Lupin turned, 'So what?' Lupin asked cheerily beaming at him brightly. 'Why on earth is my godfather sitting in front of me when he should still be in hidding?' Harry questioned crankly, 'Sirius is here because Dumbledore requested that he been here for your protection and his own, he also requested me back because I was the only teacher to take the Defence Against the Dark Arts job this year.' Lupin stated. Harry stared at Lupin for a moment and suddenly felt a grin spread across his face but did not dare to say why he was grinning as he stared down at Sirius still snoring lightly in his bed, 'Why did he not owl over the holidays or acknowledge when he walked in?' asked Harry his voice becoming suddenly tight, 'Well.. you see I think it best for Sirius to explain that to you prehaps-..' Lupin cut himself sort when he heard the sound of feet marching briskly down the corridor. 'Come and see us later tonight in this classroom after dinner and we'll discuss it then ok?' Lupin smiled when Harry nodded firmly, stood swiftly and gently patted Sirius and his snoring form on the head before marching out of the room Ron and Hermione staring at him aprehensively as they sprinted to keep up with him. 'Harry, are you going?' asked Hermione softly. Harry stopped and smiled at her as he turned, 'Of course I am and you two can come with me if you like!' Harry now in a far better mood then he had ever been in a long time turned and vanished down the stairs toward the Great Hall...
Chibi .D. = Tah-dah! All done and what a shocker huh? Anyway I just wanted to state that there are no fifth book spoliers in here as I have not finished the book yet but sadly know who dies =*( I started writting this before I even had the book and had the plot idea in my head long before I even knew when the fifth book was being released so please bare with me if it is not as accurate as it should be! Besides for many I think they'll prefer the story since the one we love resides in it alive ^_^ (Book readers who know of the death know what I mean) I need at least five more reviews to continue the story soo.. *points to reveiw button* Please lemme hear what you've got to say!!
