Chapter 6

2 weeks had passed since Harry had become a rich man. As he sat on a sun bed in the Hogwarts grounds, with a butler bringing him an almost ridiculously cold beer he thought back to the events that had transpired previously. Dumbledore's death had led to the prompt arrival of a different Dumbledore (played by Michael Gambon) in the head teacher's office. Ron's death had gone unnoticed, as prefects were generally ignored anyway, and Professor Snape's new badass streetwise attitude had angered the whole of Slytherin house immensely.

But Hogwarts was a school, and lessons continued. That was what infuriated Harry the most. It would be okay if there had been some change, some irregular behaviour from the other students or some new rules imposed, but the consistent normality of everything was as irritating as 4 hours of signing envelopes for Lockhart.

As his dream in the previous chapter had shown, Harry was tired of the monotonous repetition of everyday life at Hogwarts. It was similar to being in the military he imagined, with Snape as a drill sergeant perhaps.

There was only one thing in the world that could install some new excitement into his existence. He would have to join the B-team.

Sirius and Remus had pasted an advert into several tabloid newspapers that were floating around the school. They required someone to replace the dearly departed Dumbledore #1. Someone young, who had a good 70 years ahead of them, Harry may well suit the job perfectly.

He was only in his mid teens, he liked to picture himself thinking up some good one-liners, and he was definitely a master of disguise………the invisibility cloak guaranteed that.

So Harry went ahead with his plan, and the following day sent his CV to Remus Lupin's house as well as a comprehensive application for the position.

Shortly afterwards he was emailed back the time and location for an interview.

10 DAYS LATER

Harry sat inside Remus Lupin's office shuffling his identification details and occasionally glancing from side-to-side nervously. "So", Lupin began, "You have experience with feeding flobberworms?" "Errmm, yes. We had to feed them during my third year" Harry replied, laying his papers carefully downward on Lupin's desk. "Wow, that's fantastic…you have the job" Lupin responded. Harry briefly sat staring in surprise, before stammering out with "Wasn't that a little easy?" "Possibly, but your application form seems to be in order and we're REALLY desperate for someone to fill this position. We haven't been able to go on a single mission since Albus was killed." "But there are still three of you!!!" Harry retorted, slightly bewildered and embarrassed by how simple the interview had been. Lupin anxiously looked down at his feet, then up again looking intently into Harry's eyes. "Two actually Harry, two of us. We had an accident the other day. I forgot to lock my door at full moon when the transformation took place. Hogsmeade is a long way away, so when here I usually just clear the room of all my papers and transform peacefully with Sirius at my side in an entirely heterosexual way. Unfortunately in this incident poor Kingsley Shacklebolt had forgotten his paycheck, and when he popped in late that evening to collect it…well, you can guess the rest. Look down the hall later; Sirius has been there for the last few days with all sorts of detergents trying to get the blood stains out of the carpet." Harry smiled weakly and edged a few inches away from Lupin's desk. Lupin frowned and leaned forwards, closing the gap between the two. "Scared that I'm going to do the same to you Harry? Well don't be, you are safe for at least the next 4 weeks." Lupin winked at Harry. Harry backed even further away. At this point, Lupin's calm temperament was shattered. He stood abruptly and grabbed Harry's tie. Pulling him within an inch of his own face. "You have a choice Mr.Potter. I am offering you this job, do you want to accept it or do you want to decline it. I am only going to offer it once. I assure you that if you join our group, the next chapter will be MUCH funnier then this one. Are you in?" Harry removed his tie from Lupin's grasp and sat back down, staring for a moment at Lupin's greying hair and moustache.

"Okay, I'm in" Harry replied. "But one thing is annoying me?"

"What's that?" Lupin asked curiously.

"Why the hell have you suddenly got a moustache? In the books Lupin never had a moustache, why does David Thewlis have one in the movie?"

"Who the hell is David Thewlis?"
