Disclaimer: just let this be the one for the whole story, nothing belongs to me all belongs to great J.K. Rowling
Remus Lupin! He said, " what are you doing here and what do you want?" "Hello" said James calmly as though he talked to friends that are now almost. I don't know how many years older than us. "We are foreign exchange students and new to this area, could you help us out and tells us how to get to London", James continued.
"Sure, you are wizards right", Remus answered. "Of course sir", it fells kind of weird calling one of your best friends sir "We need to get our supplies and open an account in Gringotts." "By the way where are you from?"
"Were from. France" I replied quickly. Remus came closer to us and said, "Then where is you French accent". For once James and Sirius were being quiet, they didn't know how glad I was for that. "We are originally from England, but when we were accepted to Beauxbatons are families moved to France", I said. "Oh what year are you guys in?" asked Remus. "We're in the 7th year" I replied.
"This might sound weird but why are you in a pile of burnt wood?" Sirius spoke up. "Oh so sorry I didn't explain to you why I am here, I am here because this where two of my best friends were killed" Remus said. "Oh so sorry to bring it up" James said. I'm sure the reason he said that is because he heard the same thing I heard in Remus's voice, sadness. "Don't worry about it I think about them all the time" Remus replied. "I also lost one of my other friends' a year ago" he continuted.
"Oh by the way I never gave my name and you did not give yours, I am Remus Lupin and your names are?" I was thinking fast the whole time he asked 'wait' I thought 'I will use our initials to make new names for us. "This is Sean Brown" I said as I pointed to Sirius, "and this is Jacob Port" I continued though this time I pointed to James, " and I am Linda Elise."
After the introducing, Remus told us that the best way to get to London was the Knight Bus. 'Oh what I joy' I thought remembering my last trip on the night bus 'I hope this one is better.'
But it had not gotten better over the years we had been gone. I imagine that had to quite a few years since Remus looked so old, but even that was not a good judge of time because Remus always had gray hair.
The conductor looked over at us and said, "Did you hear that Harry Potter's aunt and uncle were killed, and his cousin has disappeared." " Harry Potter who" I said while I wondered if that Harry Potter was my little boy. "What did you say 'Harry Potter who' where have you been for the last sixteen years", the conductor said. "Well we are foreigners," I said while I defended us. "Every one even foreigners know Harry Potter, the boy who lived" the conductor said even a little bit louder but it was still a whisper.
"What do you mean the boy who lived" James asked quietly. The only person that has survived the killing curse that You-Know-who laid upon them" the conductor said while staring at us like he couldn't believe that some one could not know, "Oh him" said 'Sean' "sorry must have slipped my mind, and to answer you question no as you might have guessed by now."
"Ah well good day to you" the conductor said, that is the last time we spoke to him on the journey to London.
We came off the Knight Bus and I did not want to go back on the thing for a long while. We approached the Leaky Cauldron. As usual not paid it any attention at all to the old looking building.
As we came in I saw a familiar face looking at me it was none other than Mr. Ollivander the owner of Ollivander's a wand shop. We sat down at a table not so far from him. "Hello", he said to us "are you still going to school you look about the right age to be entering you seventh year." He looked down at 'Sean's' wand and said "Mister Black, I think that you are since I remember every one of my wands that I have ever sold." "No sir" Said 'Sean finally finding his voice, "my name is Sean Brown." Mr. Ollivander looked up at us and said "whatever you say, whatever you say" his voice still sounded like he was not convinced.
Three more people walked in. One of the boys had shocking red hair. The girl in the group we looked a little more mature than the boy with read hair, she had brown eyes and hair. But the third one looked the most matured of them all. Our eyes connected for a moment I saw in his eyes shame, guilt, and anger and above all else, sadness. He had black hair that stuck up in all directions and green eyes. Of course I know he was my baby boy, Harry. {I swear that Jackie wrote that because she knew I hate lines like that.}
Harry and the other boy were talking. This is what I over heard. "But being head boy is going to suck", said the boy. "Oh suck up least you don't have to teach like me remember that me and Neville have to teach again this year" Harry replied. "Oh Mister Ollivander how are you today?" the girl said cutting in one the argument. "Oh fine Miss Granger, just talking to Mr. Brown and. well I don't believe I caught your name" Mr. Ollivander said in response. "This is Linda Elise" James said pointing to me, "And I am Jacob Port.
"Oh well were Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and I am Harry Potter" Harry said. "Ooo this is so cool James", said Sean. "James?" Hermione asked. "Jacob" I said while eyeing Sean, Sirius if you have forgot. "This is strange you look about our age but I have never seen you?" Ron said.
"Oh silly me, we are foreign exchange students", Sean stated. "That is cool where are you from?" Harry questioned. "We are from France but originally we are from England" James answered. "Hey Sean do you want a chocolate frog, I have an extra one. Ron said. "Sure these people I call friends never give me candy" Sean said.
Oh sorry another thing I forgot to tell you, when you give Sirius any kind of sweet at all he goes nuts. Sean had taking a bite. "NO!" screamed James "he is going to go bonkers take cover." Sean started to sing "I love chocolate frogs, chocolate frogs, come on James sing with me!" "James?" Said Ron repeating Hermione earlier question. "Jacob" said James said worriedly.
"Hey you guys do you guys need to go get your supplies?" Hermione asked. "Why in fact we do," I said. "By way what year are you going into" Ron asked. "We are going into 7th year" James replied.
Harry looked up at us and closed his eyes, and then he opened them again. When he did he looked very confused. I told you about how I would tell you about the heir powers later, well now I will. There is a way with the heir powers that you can tell if someone has been drinking polyjuice potion or using an heir power to disguise themselves. "I feel like I have meet them before, but that is not possible or is it" he muttered to himself.
"You guys are going in to 7th year right?" I said interrupting his train of thought. "How do you know?" Hermione asked. "Well when you came in you were talking about being head boy." I said, "and you're a teacher Harry right?" "Yeah." "What do you teach?" Jacob asked. "I teach Defense Against the Dark Arts." "Cool that was one of my favorite classes" Sean said.
"What was it like at your old school?" Harry asked still eyeing us suspiciosly. "It was a lot like Hogwarts or so I have heard," I said. "What were you like at school" Hermione asked. "Oh that well we were trouble makers, well not Linda here" Jacob said. "Yeah she took away some of the fun at times" Sean added. "Hey don't talk about my w- girlfriend like that," James said angrily.
"Let's just go get our stuff", Sean said, and then I thought how are we going to explain to Harry that we have the same account in the bank. "Uh shouldn't you go to the book shop first?" I asked. "Linda you always think about books!" Sean said. "So, Linda likes books. Books are very educational and they." Hermione said, but Ron interrupted her "Hermione! Stop thinking about books!" "Well if you girls want to go to the book shop, why don't you just go? Ron and Harry could show us around," said Jacob.
"Jacob don't you remember we had to do that thing" I whispered. "Fine." Jacob said. We left to go to Gringotts. "James you have to remember that we can't let Harry find out about us! You know he already suspects something." I said, but was cut of by a large man running straight into me.
"Oh sorry missy, didn't see ta harm ya, he said. "Now, we might you be? Haven't seen ya on ter grounds at Hogwarts, and ya look 'bout the age of a students" he said. "We are foreign exchange students" I said I knew exactly who he was. "Oh I see I'm Rubus Hagrid, are you going to be going to Hogwarts?" he replied. "I am Linda Elise and these guys are Jacob Port and Sean Brown" I said then I had an idea how were we going to get into Hogwarts we could tell Hagrid that how! "And yes we are going to come to Hogwarts" I finished.
"Oh Linda, Sean, Jacob I didn't know you were coming here!" a voice said behind us. James spun around to see who it was. It was Hermione! "Oy Hermione" Hagrid said, "Ya already meet these here foreigners" he asked. Hermione nodded, "Linda I thought you three went to head off somewhere else. I just came here to turn some off my muggle money into wizard money. Being with those two makes me forget what I need to do! Sent them off to the Quidditch Shop, while I headed here", Hermione said.
"We are here because we need to open an account, I hate to waste your time but Hagrid could you tell us about Hogwarts"; I said thinking about how I could get away from Hermione. I not like I didn't like the girl it that I had to tell Hagrid about us and Hermione would most likely tell Harry about and that could cause real trouble. "Sure I could tell ya 'bout Hogwarts", he replied.
I led Hagrid away from Hermione. "Well what did you want to 'bout Hogwarts" Hagrid said. "Hagrid we have already been to Hogwarts we are some of your old friends, if you don't believe us, we will tell some of our old secrets" I replied. Hagrid just stared at us and said, "yes I think you should tell me a secret I would know that is if you are my old. Friend."
"I didn't think it would come to this but here you go." James said motioning to Hagrid to come down to his mouth so he could tell him. James whispered into Hagrid ear. "James is that you? Naw it can't be." Hagrid said after coming up.
"Hagrid we will show you ourselves, just let us get some where more private," I said while looking around for a spot to hide. "There is said as I pointed to a secluded part of Gringotts. I turned to Hagrid and I motioned to James and then to Sirius to motion that I thought he should change Sirius should be changed back first. "Sirius be ready I am going to change you back now" James said. He turned to Sirius and left off the spell that had change Sirius. Then James change himself and I did the same.
"We need a little help can you help us? I said. Hagrid stood there silent.
