New Beginnings
.....
"Sirius.."
"Yes Harry?"
"If you're here then that means Professor Lupin is dead."
"I'm sorry Harry,"
Harry began to sob into Sirius's shoulder. He wasn't really sure why though because usually he could make it seem like he never cried. He did now though.
"Harry, Remus was a great person and I miss him so much. Sometimes I wish it was me instead of him," Sirius muttered.
Harry shot Sirius a glare. "Don't say that! I am so sad that he is gone but I am so happy that you aren't. I almost feel guilty for feeling this way."
"Don't feel guilty," said a voice from behind them.
Harry look at Sirius and Sirius looked at Harry.
"Did you hear that?" they both asked each other in unison and turned around slowly.
"Hi, did you miss me?"
In front of Sirius and Harry was the ghost of Remus Lupin.
"Moony!" Sirius yelled and ran to his best friend's ghost to hug him but unfortunately he went straight through him.
"Sorry, I almost forgot."
Harry was speechless but soon there were more and more people in entering the living room after hearing Sirius yell.
Everyone was shocked. Tonks, Dumbledore and now Professor McGonagall were there.
"Hello Remus," Dumbledore greeted casually.
"Remus I thought you were gone forever!" Sirius cried.
"How come you're here?" Harry finally asked unknown to how rude that really sounded.
"Harry!" Professor McGonagall scolded.
"I don't mean it in a bad way. I really want to know. I am really glad that he is here. Really glad."
"I am here for a lot of different reasons which I can't explain all now but I will soon."
Harry and Sirius plastered a huge grin on their face. Lupin was also was smiling.
"Come on, we have to talk Moony," Sirius finally said walking towards his room with Lupin following.
Harry was left in the room with Tonks and the two professors.
"So Harry," Dumbledore said. "Are you glad you came?"
Harry didn't answer but the headmaster already knew his answer just by looking at the boy's face.
"I have never seen the boy so happy," McGonagall whispered to Dumbledore.
"Yes Minerva, I think depression comes and goes for the boy. Wait till he sees what the Wizarding world wants him to do."
"What is that Albus?" She asked.
"Wait and see. You will know very soon."
Harry left to go find Sirius and Lupin. He hadn't ever felt happier and it was amazing how one minute everything was going wrong and the next things were perfect. Well almost perfect but life for Harry would never be completely perfect.
Harry found Sirius sitting on his bed talking to Remus who was floating around the ceiling.
"Hello Harry," Lupin greeted fondly.
"Hello Professor," Harry said happily.
"Call me Remus Harry," he said with a smirk.
"What Happened Remus?" Harry asked after a minute or so.
Lupin floated down and sat on the bed next to Sirius. Harry sat in a chair next to them.
"Well when I fell through the veil I remember being so scared. I didn't want to die and the next thing I knew I was in the Department of Mysteries again and no one was there. I was surprised at first to see that I was a ghost. Then I got used to it and I knew I would see the both of you again and still help with the war."
"When I asked Nearly Headless Nick he said that you have to be scared of death to become a ghost."
"When and what did you ask him?" Sirius asked.
"Well I asked him about you coming back as a ghost right after you died."
Sirius nodded.
"I guess I was a little afraid of dying. I never really thought I was until it came time for me to.." Remus slurred the ending but no one seemed to mind.
"So, I had one of the worst summers ever for no reason? I thought Sirius was dead the whole time. I can't believe how stupid I was not to open my letters. Now both of you are here," Harry exclaimed.
"What happened Harry?" Remus asked.
"Well after you-no you died," Harry said first pointing to Sirius then turning to Remus. "I wouldn't really talk to anyone and I kind of became.depressed. Sirius was away on a mission so I didn't know that he was still alive. I didn't open any of the letters anyone gave me because I was still sort of mad at everyone for.previous events. Then Dumbledore came and got me today and Sirius explained everything to me and Dumbledore took the disguise off. Now we are here."
"Wow Harry, it seems like you have had quite a summer," Remus said.
"You have no idea," Harry muttered.
Sirius let out a small snort and then looked at the time. "Its time to eat! Moony, I know you don't eat but you still have to come."
Remus laughed and followed the two downstairs to the table.
Harry laughed with Sirius and Remus and even Professor McGonagall at the table.
"Where were you before you came here?" Harry asked Lupin.
"Well I went to visit someone special," Remus croaked.
"Who?" Sirius asked.
"Guess."
"I know," Harry said with fury. "Lestrange."
Dumbledore decided to change the subject quickly so he spoke.
"Remus since you no longer are a werewolf and we do already have one professor that is a ghost would you consider being the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor again?"
Remus smiled. "I was hoping you would ask that. I would love to."
"Yes!" Harry screeched.
Sirius laughed but stopped when Dumbledore spoke to him.
"Sirius would you like a teaching job as well?"
Sirius looked confused. "I am still on the run from the ministry."
"For now you are. Would you like to be Lupin's class pet then?" Dumbledore chortled.
"Yes."
"Cool," Harry said. "This will be so much better than that Umbridge lady."
"Snape will be happy," Sirius laughed.
Everyone continued to eat only to stop when they were laughing or talking animatedly. A brown tawny owl swooped in and dropped the Daily Prophet on Dumbledore's lap. He read it then past it to McGonagall who gasped then passed it to Tonks. Soon the whole table besides Harry had read it and were all looking at him with very shocked expressions, except Dumbledore who looked like his calm and usual self.
"Why are you all staring at me?" Harry yelled.
"Harry.I think you should read this," Sirius said hesitantly and handed him the paper.
Harry grabbed it and began to read-
Last week on July 26th the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge was fired for keeping hidden many things from the Wizarding community. These things include the rise of he-who-must-not-be-named and battles that went on. Fudge also made Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived seem mentally unstable as well as Headmaster Albus Dumbledore just to keep these things hidden. There was a meeting at the ministry where 3 people were nominated for the Minister of Magic position. The first one nominated is Arthur Weasley.
Harry stopped reading when he read Mr. Weasley's name and looked up at everyone.
"Wow, I hope he wins. Ron would be so happy!" Harry said excitedly.
"Keep reading," Sirius said.
Harry gave him a confused look but did as he was told.
Mr. Arthur Weasley has 7 kids and has been working at the ministry for many years. The 2nd nominee is Mr. Sky Lunskig. Mr. Lunskig has also been working at the ministry for many years.
"Who is Lunskig? I have never heard of him." Harry told the people seated at the table.
"Keep reading Harry," Sirius said again.
The last nominee is someone many people had to think about. Although this person is just 16 years old a lot of people feel that he is a perfect choice. The 3rd nominee is Mr. Harry Potter.

A/n- I know it may be a little weird that Lupin is a ghost but after seeing how many people missed Lupin I decided on making him come back one way or another. I will update. THE MORE REVIEWS I GET THE FASTER I UPDATE!!!
