Summary:OK, this is a Sirius love story. All very complicated...
A/N: This will probably have a lot of time in-between updates, just to give you fair warning.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I am a free man. I haven't even entertained that thought in the last 14 years. When I got out of Azkaban, I wasn't free. I was merely an escaped convict. But now, I can truly say I'm free. Not only am I free, I have a highly feared job. OK.... it's not exactly feared, but most say it's jinxed. Harry probably has something to do with that... runs 'em ragged within one year or something.
I never really saw myself as a teacher though. Own my own joke shop, quite possibly. Auror, definitely. But teaching DADA at Hogwarts? Never. I always thought Moony would make a good teacher, and from what I've heard, he was.... For the one whole year he taught. Well, it was a good thing I thought up that little clause in my hypothetical contract. It's also a good thing that Hagrid is moving to France to be with Olympe.
I managed to secure a job for Remus as well. Keeper of the keys and ground, and professer of Care of Magical Creatures, at Hogwarts is a highly respectable job. Not to mention the fact that he'd be taking on two jobs in one, and, in doing so, earning the pay to go with it. I hate seeing Remus in such shabby clothes, but he won't take charity. Hell, even if he works for it he generally won't take pay. But this isn't charity. No, this is a trade. He was the one so keen on getting me to work for Dumbledore, the only way I would is if he does too.
Now my only worry is what I'm going to have for lunch. Oh, ya, and the fact that only my godson can kill one of the most powerful dark wizards ever. That's not even counting the fact that the only woman I ever loved, ever will love, is the daughter of my sworn enemy.

"Princess? Are you awake?"
"Yes, Daddy, I'm up."
"Severus has informed me of an opening at Hogwarts."
"And I should care because....."
"You'd be a librarian."
"Really?!?! Ooooooh, can I please?" : Just do the little pout thing, and you're back at Hogwarts.... Merlin, my father actually thinks he's still more powerful than I am. Phft! As if!: the woman thought to herself as she watched her dad wrap himself even more tightly around her little finger. :Piece of sponge cake... yumm, that sounds good....:
"Of course, Precious. You realize that you'll have to go undercover... I know you hate it, but it's the only way..."
"I don't mind, not for this."
"OK, then you should probably write to Dumbledore," the man spat out the name as if it were a piece of moldy fruit.
"Will do, Daddy!"

Dear Proffesser Dumbledore,
It has come to my attention that the position of Librarian is open. I wish to apply. With this letter, I have sent my credentials and resume. If you would like a recommendation, Severus Snape is a close friend of my family, and can give one. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to owl me. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Alayna Henning
:Word certainly got around fast, I only advertised an open position this morning in the Prophet: Dumbledore read over the letter again, realizing that Severus could have told her, as she mentioned him being a close friend of her family. :But, I wonder, why did she send credentials for a Librarian job?: The girl's credentials were for teaching and handling dangerous objects, among other minute things.
After reading through her resume, he took out a roll of parchment.
Dear Miss Henning,
Thank you for applying for this position. I do have a few questions, but they may be taken care of at an interview. Please let me know a convenient time and place to meet.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, International Confederation of Wizards, Supreme Wugwump of the Wizengamot, Order of Merlin First Class

Twenty minutes later, Ally was sending off her reply. She was currently staying at her cottage a mere 40 miles north of Hogwarts. She had many houses, mansions, manors, cottages, villas, castles, and any other type, size, and color of houses that you could ever imagine. It was useful to have so many places to stay in so many locations. She'd just come here 40 minutes ago to await the reply of the headmaster.
In the small village about a mile away, she'd heard that Sirius Black was the new DADA teacher. That wouldn't necessarily be a probalem.... that's probably why her father wanted her to take the job anyway, since he'd always wanted her to marry a Black. As far as Ally could be concerned, it was just a major thorn in her side.
:Wow, reply already...: she thought as her owl flew back into her house. Upon reading the letter, she went to change for her interview in an hour.: This is going to be a LONG year...:
