A/N: Dose anyone even know the point of these author's notes?!
Everyone: No.
Sirius: I know! It's so I can have my moment in glory!
Alexa: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I get it. Now I would thank people for reviews, but I'm posting all the chapters at one time, so you didn't have a chance yet.
Sirius: Wow. That was random.
Alexa: Well I have to write something here!
Sirius: Good point. Let's start already!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that seems familiar. It all belongs to someone else.

Chapter 1: Visitors

"BOY! GET DOWN HERE!" Harry jumped. ?!?!?!?! He thought as he quickly put on his glasses, through on some clothes, and ran down stairs.
"What…is…it…Uncle…Vernon?" He panted.
"It's about time! Now listen. Petunia's parents are coming over for dinner tonight. Now I don't want any funny business like the last time one of our relatives came for dinner. Is that understood?" Vernon looked him strait in the eye, indicating that he was very serious.
Harry just nodded. "I'll behave. I won't blow them up, drop a cake on their heads, or make any comments about anything. I will speak only when spoken too. I will not let them know anything about where I go during the school year." He said this in a toneless voice, knowing that it was what he wanted to hear.
"Right. Now go eat your breakfast. Your aunt has a list of chores for you, and I want them done before her parents arrive."
"Yes Uncle Vernon." Harry walked into the kitchen, ate his toast, grabbed his list of chores, and went outside.
He groaned when he saw what he had to do:
Weed the garden Water the plantsFix the fence
Paint the shed
Mow the lawn
Wash the car
'All this just because Petunia's parents are coming over,' he thought. Harry made his way to the garden, and started to yank at one of the weeds. 'How on earth could that woman be my mother's sister? My mom's parents were proud that she was magic. Petunia's parents would probably…' He gasped. 'Wait a minute! Petunia is mum's sister?! That means, mum's parents are coming over?!'
Harry finished with the weeds and grabbed the hose. "Maybe this won't be so bad," he said to himself. "They obviously don't have anything against magic. This could actually be fun." Harry thought about his grandparents all day. For a while he was kind of mad that they had stayed hidden all these years, but came to the conclusion that something must have been holding them back. Now he just wanted to meet them.
It was almost five o'clock when he finished his chores. He came into the kitchen where Petunia was cooking dinner. She turned around when he entered.
"Finally. Now go upstairs and change. They'll be here soon." Harry nodded. He climbed the stairs, and went into his room. He grabbed a clean pair of jeans and a green T-shirt, and put them on. For a few minutes, he tried to flatten his hair, and it almost worked, before it popped right back into it's normal position. "Why do I even bother?"
"Boy! Get down here. They'll be here any minute!" Uncle Vernon shouted from the bottom of the stairs. Harry sighed, and went downstairs.

A man walked down the halls of Hogwarts. He had brown hair, with a few streaks of gray, wore very shabby and patched robes, and looked kind of tired. He seemed to be about 35 years old. At his side walked a very large, very shaggy, very black dog. He stopped at a stone gargoyle, and said, "Cotton Candy." The gargoyle came to life, and reviled a staircase. The man walked in, and knocked on the door.
"Come in," came a voice. The man opened the door and walked in. "Remus. Sirius. Just the men I wanted to see. Of coarse, it would help if Sirius here was a man," he said to the dog. The dog changed into a man.
"Well, since you are making jokes about my canine form, I assume that you don't have bad news," Sirius said.
"Well you guessed correctly. In fact, I have very good news, for both of you." Dumbledore smiled. "First of all, Remus, I wanted to offer you a teaching job. Hagrid is of on a mission with the Giants, and I'm afraid that he won't be back in time to be able to teach our Care of Magical creatures class. Would you like the job?"
Remus looked slightly shocked, but nodded. "I'd love to."
"Good. Now Sirius," he looked at the other man. "This year we are once again in need of a new Defense Teacher. I was wondering if you would like the job."
Sirius looked at the Headmaster as if he had grown an extra head and was dancing the Tango with a lamp?!?!?!!?! (A/N: For those of you who think he was laughing, he was shocked. Okay?) "But Albus, what about my criminal record?! I can't go out in public!"
"No," he shook his head. "You can't go out as Sirius Black." He fired a spell at Sirius. "But you can go out as Professor Orion Heart." He gave a mirror to Sirius. His face had changed drastically. His hair was shorter and was a dark brown color. His eyes were no longer black, but instead bluish green colors. He had a very slight tan. He also looked younger. Much younger, like in his late twenties.
"Wow! And how did you come up with the name 'Orion Heart'?!" He asked, looking at his reflection.
"I picked Orion because it's your middle name. As for the last name, I picked a random word out of the dictionary. You were lucky that I didn't land on something like 'lawn mower', or you'd be stuck."
The three of them laughed.

"Mother!" Petunia cried as her parents came in. "It's so good to see you. You too father. Come in. Just give your things to Harry here. He'll put them away for you."
Harry took their things. Before he went into the sitting room, Harry's grandfather slipped him a note:
Midnight. Kitchen.
Daisy and Andrew
Harry nodded. He then put their coats in the closet. He dragged their bags upstairs and into the guest room. He just waited upstairs until he heard Petunia announce dinner.
That night they had a wonderful feast. Petunia really wanted to impress them. Harry didn't think that it once crossed her mind that they still knew about magic. Harry just ate his meal in silence as they talked about Vernon's company. Nothing interesting happened until dessert.
"What about you, Harry?" Petunia's father asked. "You haven't spoken much today. Is everything alright?"
"Oh he's fine," Petunia said. "I'm afraid that he gets rather shy around strangers."
And they didn't speak anymore on the subject.

"There is another reason I called you here, Sirius," Dumbledore said. "I understand that Arabella Figg is the only person you have to visit." Sirius nodded. "Well while you are there, I was thinking that you could visit someone else while you're there. Harry perhaps."
"Sir, are you serious?! I can go get Harry?!"
"Yes, you can. I've been helping Remus put up extra wards around his house, so it will be… Sirius, where are you going?!" Sirius was already half way down the stairs.
"Arabella's house!" He shouted.
Dumbledore shook his head. "And I didn't even have the chance to tell him…"
"Tell him what?" Remus asked.
"Well you know that exchange student I told you about a few days ago?" Remus nodded. "Well there was something I wanted to tell him, but it seems that you will both just have to find out later.
***
That night at 11:45 Harry crept down the stairs to the kitchen. His grandparents were already there and were talking in hushed voices. Harry of coarse listened in.
"Do you think he'll buy it?"
"It looks like it. I gave him the note, and I tried to act like I was concerned and interested in him."
"I sure hope so Malfoy, or our Lord will have our hides."
Harry gasped. Death Eaters?! He thought. He had to get help. He figured he could flag down the night bus and get help. Lucky he had his wand in his pocket, just in case.
He slipped out of the house and backed away from the house slowly. He had only gone back a few yards into the street when he bumped into someone.
***
Sirius left Arabella's house. He was so relived that she believed him. And now he was getting Harry. He was so happy that he was moon-walking into the street. Unfortunately, he moon-walked into someone else that was also in the street.
***
Ron got out of his dad's new car and made his way towards Harry's house. He was taking him away from those awful muggles that night. He started running to get there faster that he accidentally ran into two other people.
***
"Ron?!" Harry and Sirius whispered.
"Harry?!" Ron and Sirius said.
"Sirius?!" Harry and Ron almost shouted.
"What are you doing here?!" They all asked at thee same time.
"I came to take Harry to the Burrow," the redhead said.
"I'm here to take Harry to Remus's house," Sirius explained.
"There are Death Eaters in my house."
"Death Eaters?!"

Alexa:?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Sirius: Please stop that. I know you are fascinated with those two buttons, but It's over used in this chapter.
Alexa: Fine. Review!…?!?!?!?!?!
Sirius: Ggggrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
