Hey! Here is the LAST chapter! I hope you are all enjoying the story, and you like the end. This is it, I am not continuing this story… well I always say that. I will not continue this story unless I get hit with a lightning bolt and get a brilliant idea. I am going to start working on two short stories, well maybe, concerning Sirius and James. So I hope when I get those out you will read them! I don't own Harry Potter, J.K.Rowling does! Please R/R.

Harry sighed, he had been hoping not to have to talk to him until school began at least. Dumbledore though was not asking, he motioned Harry to follow him. They went back upstairs to his room so they would be alone. Three talks in one day, Harry thought, that was a record.

Dumbledore conjured a chair and Harry once more sat on his bed. Dumbledore looked up at Harry.

"I'm sorry sir," Harry said at once.

Dumbledore put his chin in one of his hands. He asked quietly, "For what?"

"For making you worry, for making you do more work…" Harry stopped, his voice dropped, "for making you cry."

"My dear boy," Dumbledore shook his head sadly. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I am the one who is sorry, I have put you through so much."

Harry didn't say anything.

"How are you doing?"

"Better sir," Harry nodded.

"Remus has informed me of what has been happening. I did not hear the details of his latest talk with you, but they went well? I am glad you are safe and home."

Harry just nodded. He didn't meet the eye of the Headmaster.

"I believe something else is bothering you."

Harry blushed. "I just. Well last year, I yelled at you, I broke your things, I made you leave school."

"My dear boy, do not worry yourself with those petty things," Dumbledore placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. "I am not angry, but proud. For you to take the step to prepare yourself and others for tasks that lay ahead, it makes me so proud."

"It still got you into trouble."

"No more trouble than I was already in. Sometimes Harry sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. Your friends, and I, along with Remus, will do anything to protect you. And not just because of the role you will have to play in your life, but for who you are."

'Do you know, during this past year, when you made the secret D.A, and had the article published… I thought I was back in time about 20 years, and James Potter was running around the school causing trouble. This past year you did many things he would have done. You also did many things that he would have clapped you on the back, and said, 'Yes, he is my son, and I am proud of him'. You are the image of your father, and of Sirius."

"Sirius said I wasn't like my father, that I didn't take risks, he wanted to meet me during the year in secret."

"There is a line between risks and life endangering situations," Dumbledore chuckled, "your father would have met Sirius in secret, I'm sure of it, but you also have that common sense that Lily had. I think Sirius spoke rashly, you did the right thing of course then."

Harry thought for a moment. He thought about his parents, and when he had seen them in the Pensieve. He thought about Sirius, and Remus, but as always, his thoughts then went to Voldemort and the havoc being caused. "Sir, has anything been happening?"

"A few attacks, nothing serious. Voldemort I believe is wondering how he failed, and gathering more forces," Dumbledore nodded.

"Sir."

"Yes Harry?"

"I want to be more involved. I'm going to fight in Sirius's name; Ron and Hermione are going to prepare. We might need help though," Harry told him forcefully.

"If you want to be in the Order, no Harry, but if you want assistance in your training, then yes I will help. During vacations, I'm sure Tonks, Kingsley, Moody and Remus will assist you. During the year though, if you have any questions or need any books, I will be there for you. I believe the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be more enjoyable this year and will be able to help you too."

"Thank you sir," Harry nodded.

"No matter what happens Harry, I will be there for you. Never be afraid to come to me," Dumbledore told him.

Harry nodded. "Thank you sir."

"Your welcome Harry." Dumbledore smiled at him, and his eyes twinkled.

"HARRY! We have to go!" Remus yelled up the stairs. He stood at the bottom of the stairs. It was September 1st, and the Portkey to take them to Kings Cross was going to activate in five minutes.

Fearing that Harry wasn't up yet, Remus took the stairs two at a time. He knocked on Harry's door and then reached out a hand to open it. It opened though before Remus reached the handle and 16-year-old Harry stood there with a grin on his face.

"Thought I was still asleep?"

"I did."

"I've been up for a few hours packing," Harry shrugged and let Remus come into the room. His trunk was still opened inside, and was filled to the top with books.

"I thought you packed last night," asked Remus.

"I had to finish a few essays, I found more information in some of the books I got," Harry told him.

"You are beginning to sound like Hermione," Remus laughed.

"Packing, I felt like Hermione. Some of my books won't fit. Will you do the honors?" Harry picked up a stack of ten books.

Remus shook his head and took out his wand.

"Thank you," Harry grinned and put the now pebble sized books into his trunk and closed it.

"We have to go," said Remus.

"Let's go then."

Harry picked up one end of the trunk, and Remus grabbed the other. "Put it down," Remus advised Harry. Taking out his wand again, Remus put a levitation charm on it and made it feather light. "Away we go."

"I can't wait until I can do that next year," Harry looked at Remus enviously.

Remus laughed and trailed after Harry with his trunk and Hedwig's cage. They went down to the kitchen. On the table sat an old Daily Prophet. Remus picked it up and held it out to Harry.

"3…2…1," He said looking at his watch.

They were gone with the familiar pull behind Harry's navel.

They appeared in Kings Cross in a second. Harry looked around and smiled. He really missed this world.

"Glad to be back?"

Harry nodded. "Every place in this world is a reminder of him, but I did miss it."

"You can see him in his dog form running around saying good bye to you. I can see him though as a boy causing chaos, or standing with his parents scowling."

"HARRY!" the Weasleys and Hermione had arrived.

"Hey Ron! Hermione! Ginny!" Harry yelled back.

"Come Harry, we already have a compartment," Hermione grabbed his hand and ran off leading him.

Remus came after him with his trunk. He listened as Hermione explained to him what they had learned and what they were planning to work on when they arrived at school. Harry smiled and laughed along with them. Remus smiled, he was glad to see Harry together with his friends and enjoying himself. He looked at peace, which Remus thought he needed.

They boarded the train, but Ron and Harry doubled back for his trunk. They loaded it together and then went to stand with the Weasleys.

Remus stayed back, he had not talked to Molly Weasley since Harry's birthday. Harry, who had not heard of their fight hugged Mrs. Weasley and shook the hands of the twins who had come to see them off.

The train whistle blew. The trio went back toward the train. On the stairs, Harry looked back and ran back to Remus.

"I thought you were going to leave without saying good bye," Remus raised an eyebrow at him.

"I never had two people to say good bye to," Harry shrugged sheepishly.

"Owl me when you can," Remus asked.

"Of course I will," Harry promised.

"I'll be around when I can. If you need any help just send me Hedwig," Remus told him.

"I can't wait to see you again," said Harry. "Thank you for everything."

"Always remember Harry, he's always here," Remus pointed to his heart, "as am I and your parents. And the Marauders, well they are always here." He took a Dungbomb out of his pocket and gave it to Harry. "I put a bag of tricks in your trunk, use them well."

"I realized something this summer," Harry smiled at Remus, "I need you in my life as much as I need to know Sirius is always there!"

He gave Remus a hug. The train whistle blew again. Harry let go he had to get on the train. He went off toward the train, but stopped. He turned and rushed back toward Remus and embraced him again.

Ron opened the door on the train as it started to move. Harry let go of Remus for the second time and raced after the train. He jumped on and standing in the doorway, he waved eagerly.

Remus waved back. He bit his lip, he never realized how hard saying good bye was.

"He's all right," Molly Weasley came over. "Thank you."

"Your welcome, I'm sorry I kept him away from you all summer, but it was in his best interest."

"I know."

"Harry will always be all right," Remus smiled as the train was now out of view. "He's the son of a Marauder, and Marauders are made of the toughest stuff around." Of course, that was true, Remus thought, looking back on their lives, they were all hard, but none of them compared to Harry's. "He'll always be all right as long as he remembers he's never alone."
