Going Home?

June 11, 2004

Harry sat at the last dinner he would have at Hogwarts this year and he stared down at his plate angrily.

"Gryffindor wins this years cup again." Dumbledore said, as he clapped his hands and the banners changed to the Scarlet color that represents Gryffindor

"Way to go Harry." Ron said trying to cheer him up a little but no luck.

"Yeah way to go Potter got your godfather murdered too. You think you'd learn." Malfoy said and started to laugh at Harry.

"Go to bloody hell you stupid Slytherin Voldemort loving git!" Harry yelled angrily as he stood up and glared at Malfoy before storming out of the Great hall.

"Hey slow down there…" A woman Harry had never seen before, said and smiled down at him.

"S…sorry…" Harry muttered as he walked around the woman.

Just like his father… The woman thought and smiled as she walked into the Great Hall gaining all the attention of the students and staff.

"Marie." Dumbledore said and stood up. "And to what pleasure is our meeting this time. Hopefully a more pleasant meeting then the last." He said as he motioned to an empty seat at the teachers table.

"Good evening Professor Dumbledore. A much more pleasant meeting then the last." Marie said and smiled as she walked around the teachers table to sit beside him.

"She's a no good werewolf lover, and an Auror." Malfoy scoffed angrily as he glared at Marie.

"Dumbledore I must speak with you about a specific student." Marie said and smiled ignoring Malfoy or so it seemed by the teachers surprising them. Damn bloody brat! She thought angrily as she just wanted to go over and slap the crap out of him.

"Just say it. The Auror's here about Harry Potter! He broke into the ministry of magic." Malfoy said and started to laugh as all the other students started to whisper.

"Draco Malfoy if I was here of some one braking into the Ministry I would be here to talk to you about your father now would you shut your annoyingly stupid mouth." Marie said as she glared over at Draco angrily. "I hate Malfoy's think they know every thing but don't know a damn bloody thing." She said in annoyed tone as she looked back over at Dumbledore.

"Malfoy if you wish to return next year then I suggest you be quiet for the remainder of dinner." Dumbledore said and looked over the rest of the students. "Let the feast begin." He said just as all the food appeared on the tables.

"Thank you Dumbledore." Marie said and smiled lightly at him as he sat down.

"You're welcome Marie. Now how have you and Remus been these last few day's?" Dumbledore asked as he looked over at Marie and smiled kindly.

"We're fine. He's moved into my house with out any problems. Well besides werewolf haters that recently moved in down the street." Marie said and sighed lightly.

"Well those people just don't understand him." Dumbledore said and took a drink as he watched her carefully. "Now what was it you were needing to talk about?" He asked curiously.

"Well Remus and I have decided that Harry will be staying with us this summer." Marie said and smiled as she watched Dumbledore closely.

"Marie there is no way he can stay with you and Remus. The protection of his mothers blood…" Dumbledore said but was cut off by Marie.

"Was destroyed during his forth year. Dumbledore he can't go back to those Muggle's. He'll hurt himself Dumbledore the safest place for him is with us and he's staying with us no matter what." Marie said as she looked at him desperately.

Are you absolutely sure he would try to hurt himself if he went back to them?" Dumbledore asked with a frown on his face.

"Yes." Marie said and just watched him for a second. "Dumbledore he must stay with us." She said in a hopeful voice.

"All right. I will send word to the Dursely's about Harry's change in home." Dumbledore said and sighed.

"Good but don't say anything to him. We want it to be a surprise for him. Some thing he can be happy about." Marie said and smiled lightly at Dumbledore.

"All right the boy does need something to make him happy." Dumbledore said then saw Harry return to the Great Hall and sit back down where he had been before he left.

"Good. I need to get back to Remus so he don't starve." Marie said and laughed lightly as she stood up.

"Remus starve. Not likely." Dumbledore said and smiled up at Marie. "Then you will be picking him up at the station?" He asked curiously.

"Yes and if you don't mind. Don't say anything to him about it. We want it to be a surprise. That's why I came and not Remus." Marie said and smiled lightly. "Course I put Remus to work on the guest room." She said and laughed as she started to walk towards the main hall.

"That doesn't surprise me in the least Marie." Dumbledore said and laughed as he turned to talk to a teacher.

Harry was walking around out side when he saw the young woman from before walk out.

Marie looked over at Harry and smiled lightly as she started for the gate to Hogwarts Grounds. He looks so much like his parents, James especially. She thought as she turned to watch where she was going.

I wonder who she is and why she was here? Harry thought curiously as he watched her and noticed that once she was off Hogwarts Grounds she turned and winked at him then disappeared.

Harry looked confused as he walked back into the school and up to the Gryffindor tower.

"AHH…Marie…" Remus yelled in surprise at her just appearing right in front of him.

Marie laughed a little and smiled up at him. "Sorry Remus… You were supposed to be upstairs cleaning." She said and laughed again.

"Oy…give me a bloody heart attack Marie…" Remus said as he shook his head lightly at her. "Well what did Dumbledore say?" He asked hopeful.

"He said yes course you know me I didn't give him any other choice." Marie said and laughed lightly.

"Yeah I know you, but what did you do?" Remus asked as he looked at her slightly confused.

"Uhm…I told him he was staying with us not matter what. Cause Harry was liable to try to hurt him self back at the Dursleys." Marie said and shrugged as she looked up at him and smiled again.

"Well we won't have to worry about that now. He's staying here, with us." Remus said and smiled as he wrapped his arms around Marie's waist lightly pulling her closer to him.

"Yeah we pick him up at the station." Marie said and smiled up at Remus.

Remus leaned down and placed his lips on hers lightly. "Good." He said with his lips brushing against hers. He smiled sweetly then pressed his lips to hers softly and closed his eyes.

Marie closed her eyes as she leaned up into the kiss, wrapping her arms behind his neck lightly.

"I've wanted to do that for so long. Wanted to touch your soft skin again since that night…" Remus said once the kiss broke and he looked into her eyes. "I regretted never doing that ever since that night…" He said pulling her into a tight hug.

"Oh Remus…" Marie said in a comforting tone as she hugged him lightly. "I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere…" She said in a soft tone.

"I didn't think you were going to go anywhere then…" Remus said in a very sad voice as he laid his head on her shoulder lightly.

"But see Remus I didn't go anywhere then." Marie said as she place a hand on his head lightly as she pulled him closer to her. She let her other hand rub his back softly.

"I know but I thought you had… And I had always been so afraid to say anything to you..." Remus said as he hugged her some more putting his face in her long sandy brown hair.

"Come on Remus. I think you need to rest a little." Marie said as she turned him around so she could take him upstairs.

"I don't want to be with out you again Marie… Sirius always said my love for you was obvious… Well it is now…" Remus said as he looked over at Marie slightly afraid of what she would say.

"You won't be with out me again Remus." Marie said as she looked over at him while they went up the stairs.

"Lily told me it was completely obvious that you liked me… I was always so afraid though…" Remus said as he watched the hall way floor sadly.

"It wasn't as obvious as you stumbling over your words while talking to me but yes it was." Marie said as she opened her bedroom door and let Remus walk in.

Remus walked right into Marie's room with out even realizing he had. "I'm sorry Marie I guess I sound like a complete idiot right now…" He said and sighed as he sat down on the bed.

"You sound like a man still afraid of his love…" Marie said as she sat down beside him softly. "Come on lay down." She said and smiled lightly as she made him lay down.

Remus looked up at Marie and smiled lightly. This feels so right…being with her… He thought and sighed lightly.

Marie moved around to the other side of the bed and laid down beside him. She smiled sweetly down at him as she started to run her fingers through his hair lightly to get him to go to sleep.

Remus watched her run her fingers through his hair as he started to drift off to sleep. "I love you Marie…" He said as he yawned lightly closing his eyes.

"I know, I love you too Remus." Marie said as she leaned over and kissed his cheek softly as she watched him fall asleep.

Remus woke up with his arms around Marie and smiled lightly as he brushed his hand against her face softly. He pulled her closer to him as he laid his chin over on her head lightly.

Marie opened her eyes sleepily then looked up at Remus and smiled. "Good morning Remus." She said then laid her head down on his shoulder.

"Good morning Marie. Sleep well?" Remus asked curiously as he hugged her lightly.

"Yeah, you?" Marie asked as she smiled sweetly up at him.

"Of course you're beside me." Remus said and smiled down at her then kissed the top of her head softly.

"We need to get up and get ready for Harry." Marie said and smiled as she sat up then looked over at the clock by her bed.

"Well come on you take your shower while I make sure every thing's ready for Harry. Then you can cook breakfast for once while I take mine." Remus said and smiled lightly.

"Or we can take a shower at the same time then you cook breakfast and I make sure every things done. There is more then one shower in this house." Marie said and laughed lightly at the blush that had hit Remus' face at the thought of taking a shower at the same time.

"Uhm…ok…" Remus said then laughed lightly at the wrong thought he had.

"Go on you little pervert… There's a shower across the hall." Marie said and laughed as she stood up and grabbed some new cloths to change into. "I guess we could move your stuff in here if you wanted to…" She said as she stood up and walked towards the door.

"Yeah… I guess…" Remus said and smiled as he stood up to go get his cloths to change into.

Marie and Remus had both taken their showers and were done with breakfast. They had made it to the station in London about 10 minutes before the Hogwarts Express was going to arrive with Harry.

"Look for the Dursleys they don't know yet…" Marie said and sighed as she looked around the crowded train station. "Look the Weasley's Harry's bound to walk over to them." She said then walked over to them and smiled.

"Remus how are you?" Mrs. Weasley said as she smiled at Remus then looked at Marie and she looked like she had seen a ghost. "M…Marie…" She said stunned.

"Yes Molly. No I'm not dead and haven't been dead either." Marie said and laughed lightly at the look at Mrs. Weasley's face.

"Look there's Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny." Remus said pointing over to the group of teens walking over to them.

"Harry…" Marie said nervously and smiled once they had reached them.

"You're the lady from yesterday…" Harry said then looked over at Remus then back to Marie slightly confused. "Marie…right…" He said as he looked back over to Remus.

"Yes Harry." Remus said and smiled lightly at the boy.

"But then why didn't you come Remus…" Harry asked in a hurt tone.

"I was busy cleaning out the spare room for you Harry. It was a surprise. You're not going back to the Dursleys this summer." Remus said and smiled brightly at Harry.

"That's right Harry. You're staying with us instead." Marie said and smiled at him.

"Absolutely not. Dumbledore…" Molly started but was cut off by Marie.

"Has all ready agreed to the decision. That is if you'll stay Harry." Marie said cutting Molly off.

"If I'll stay of course I'll stay…" Harry said happily then spotted the Dursleys. "No one told them did they…" He said as she pointed over to them standing nervously away from Harry and his friends.

"Oh no…" Marie said and laughed lightly. "We forgot to tell them." She said and smiled as they started over to the Dursleys.

"W-what d-do you w-want…" Vernon Dursley asked in a very shaky voice as he watched them walk closer to his family.

"Sorry to have troubled you but Harry won't be saying with you this summer or next or ever again." Remus said and smiled as he pulled Harry closer to him and Marie.

"R-right t-then…We'll be off…" Vernon said as he started to usher his family away from the 'weirdoes' or so he called them.

Authors Note: Haha… Sorry it got a little sappy there at the end. Oh well, He so deserves some one. I'll get around to getting Harry to the house in the next chapter. Hope every one likes this chapter though.
