Chapter 11
Potions Mater Returns
By: Sirius **Padfoot
December 2, 2003
When Sirius, Remus, Anna, and Snape had returned Dumbledore had postponed all classes until Monday. Anna and Snape had been put in the hospital wing while James had been sent to St Mungo's for recovery.
Remus hadn't left Anna's side since they had arrived back at Hogwarts. Sirius had tried to spend time with Harry though. So he was now in the hospital wing visiting with Anna.
"Sirius Malfoy has came up with a plan to blow up the potions room to get you fired." Harry said as he ran into the hospital wing.
"Bloody little brat." Sirius said as he started for the dungeons.
"What? Nothing had better happen to my class Black!" Snape yelled but Sirius was already gone.
Sirius ran into the classroom and catches Malfoy trying to set up a potion in the middle of the class.
"Malfoy for this I'm going to give you a weeks detention with Snape next week I'll let him deal with you." Sirius said angrily as he drug him out of the potion's class. "Now go on about your business before you receive more punishment." He said then walked back into the potion's room. He picked up the potion then walked out locking the door.
Sirius walks back up to the Hospital wing with the potion that Malfoy had started to make. "Snape I have no clue what this is but it stinks." Sirius said as he walked back into the hospital wing.
"For once I agree with you Black that does stink get rid of it." Snape said.
"This is what Malfoy was planing on using." Sirius said and turned his head away from the potions.
"Fine just get rid of it." Snape said and Sirius walked back out of the hospital wing to dispose of the potion.
On Monday the next week Snape and Anna both returned to class half way through the last class of the day. Sirius steps out of Snape's way when he steps into the classroom.
"Mr Malfoy." Snape said.
"I understand you have a weeks detention with me. It will not be pleasant. And I also wish to take 25 points from your for your stupid decision to destroy my room in hopes to get Professor Black fired." Snape said angrily.
"I did not try to do anything to your room professor he's lying." Malfoy said defensively.
"15 more points from you Mr. Malfoy do not lye to me." Snape said.
"At least I wasn't beaten to near death by Death Eaters you traitor." Malfoy said angrily.
"25 points from you Malfoy. You need to keep your mouth shut about things you have no understanding of." Sirius said.
"Another week of detention Mr. Malfoy. Don't push me." Snape said angrily. Then the bell for the end of class sounded. Malfoy storms out of class and Harry runs up to Snape.
"Snape how are you doing?" Harry asked.
"I'm fine Mr. Potter I hear you are the one who alerted every one of my disappearance." Snape said.
"Yes. You and I don't get along too well but no one deserves to be held captive by Voldemort." Harry said as Sirius steps up beside Snape.
"How'd you know I was held instead of on his side?" Snape asked.
"Well one last year you absolutely hated Voldemort and two you had never really be a death eater." Harry said and smiled.
"I never thought I'd say this but thanks Harry." Snape said. "And I guess I owe you a thanks to Black." He said and held out his hand.
"No problem Snape." Sirius said and took his hand. "Well why don't we go see how Anna's doing Harry. That is if you don't need me to tell you what I did do in the short classes I watched for you." He said and looked at Snape questioningly.
"No I'll figure it out. Thanks again Black." Snape said then walked off to his desk and started going through all the papers there.
"Well come on Harry. I'm going up to see how Anna is." Sirius said and walked out of the potion's room with Harry behind him.
"Yes I want to know how Anna is too. I'll catch up with Ron and Hermione later." Harry said and started walking beside Sirius.
"Right. I'd say Ron and Hermione will show up to see how Anna is too." Sirius said and smiled down at Harry.
"Remus and Anna getting engaged and you and Remus getting reinstated as Auror's is amazing. That makes every one I've ever looked up to as Auror's or in some part of the Ministry. Even Dumbledore has authority in the Ministry." Harry said amazed as he smiled up at Sirius.
"That was a slight surprise. Now listen Harry if one or all three of us go missing for a day or so don't bring attention to it. It's either order business or Auror business. So don't bring attention to us not being here." Sirius said and watched Harry's reaction to that.
"Right Sirius but if only one or two of you go missing can I get the other off alone and ask which reason it is?" Harry asked as he looked up at Sirius kind of begging for permission for that.
"All right Harry. You can do that. Just don't make it obvious you are asking about the once missing. And you can't talk about it in the hall or where anyone can here you except Ron and Hermione. We trust them." Sirius said. "Actually you three are the youngest people to ever be in the order." He said and put a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"I don't know if that's a good thing or not for Ron and Hermione. Me yes but them. I seem to just get them in danger." Harry said and started watching his feet as he walked beside Sirius.
"They choose to be in on your little extravaganzas I should say. Its not your fault Harry they can say they don't want to be apart of anything but they choose to help. There for they are in the order there for under the protection of the order, along with you. You seem to be a Voldemort magnet." Sirius said and smiled.
"Funny Sirius." Harry said lamely and shoved Sirius a little. Who chuckled when he did.
"I'm still staying with you this summer right?" Harry asked like he was pleading.
"Yes Harry, Dumbledore don't have a say in the matter not more. I'm free remember. There for you parents left you in my care. So Dumbledore has to respect that. You will never return to a Muggle family again." Sirius said and messed his hair up.
"Ah Harry I see you finally drug Sirius away from the Potion's class. I thought he had decided to live there." Anna said as Harry and Sirius walked into her room.
"Funny Wings. Funny." Sirius said and crossed his arms.
"I'm just glad you decided to cut your hair. It was getting annoying." Ron said and laughed at the look he got from Sirius.
"What is it pick on Padfoot day and I didn't know about it." Remus said in a whiny tone.
"Oh sorry did I for get to give you the memo on 'Pick on Padfoot day' well I guess I could just pick on him for the both of us." Anna said and looked up and Remus and smiled.
"You're mean Wings." Sirius complained.
"I know." Anna said and smiled when she looked back at Sirius.
"You know I didn't get that memo either Anna." Harry said and nudged Sirius in the side then laughed.
"You've even turned my godson against me." Sirius said and shook his head.
"I did no such thing he just joined in on the fun of picking on you. You're a funny person to pick on Sirius." Anna said and laughed at the look on his face now.
"Come on I hear Dumbledore wants to announce something during dinner." Remus said as he pulled Anna up to her feet.
"Well let me tell you this I have been through all the training for an Auror and have been hit by the Cruciatus Curse before but it was worse with this go around with Voldemort." Anna said as she leaned on Remus for a second as she got her balance.
"This go around?" Remus asked.
"Yes I was there when they were killed. But no one except Dumbledore knows that." Anna said and started walking for the door to her classroom.
"You where, you where there that night?" Harry said stunned.
"Yes, I was Harry. I was hit with the Cruciatus Curse that night by Voldemort then again when we went after Snape. He's stronger or just more intent on killing his victims though torture." Anna said as Remus caught up to her.
"Stronger?" Harry said stunned.
"Yes but if he's stronger so are you." Anna said then nearly fell when Remus caught her. "As you can see I've still not fully recovered from last week." She said shaking her head as she leaned on Remus.
"Don't worry I've got you." Remus said slightly worried about her as he helped her stand up strait again.
"I know Remus." Anna said as she smiled at him.
"Voldemort must fancy your Anna if you've lived though two attacks from Voldemort." Sirius said and got glared at by Remus.
"Shut it Padfoot." Remus said.
"Now, now Remus he has a point. I've been in his way on more then one occasion but still he's never attempted to kill me. I want you to be especially careful." Anna said
"But if you were there that night then how did you not know Peter was the one to betray us?" Sirius asked.
"Cause neither Peter or you were there. And the last thing I new was you were to be the secret keeper then they said you killed Peter and 12 Muggle's. But that didn't sound like you so I figured you had went after the real traitor. I tried every way I could think of to get into Azkaban to talk to you about it after I got out of the hospital a month later." Anna said and shrugged.
"Why not just find Remus and ask him?" Sirius asked.
"Need I remind you. That Remus and I were both left out of every plan made for the protection of the Potters." Anna said slightly annoyed. "Besides I did try to find Remus. I couldn't ever find him until Harry's third year. It was like he had just dropped off the face of the Earth or something." She said, then they entered the Great Hall.
