The students gathered in the Great Hall for breakfast the next day. As Hermione, Ron, and Harry entered, they could see the new teachers laughing and talking. Harry smiled as he looked upon his godfather and the new Ancient Study of Magic teacher. They were smiling and laughing about something. It made him immensely happy that Sirius had someone other than Harry and Remus in his life. When the thought of Lupin approached his mind, he peered over at his DADA teacher and his new Muggle Studies teacher. They too were laughing. Harry was very pleased with how this year was going so far. Besides the fact that Professor Trelawney was back, this had to be the best moment in his life. Everyone he loved and cared for was here.

"Harry? Harry?" called an innocent voice. Harry suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. He turned his head to see the person who called him.

"Yes, Hermione?" he answered the slightly bushy haired girl. Hermione had grown up so much from their first year. Her hair was more tamed and she had lost all of her baby fat now. Harry turned to the Professors' table and noticed the similarities between Hermione and Professor La Dai. He chuckled to himself.

"What are laughing at? Oh never mind! Harry do you realize that our O.W.L.s are only 6 months away!" the anxiety in her voice so thick you could cut it with a knife.

A red head glanced over at Hermione with a strange look on his face. "Honestly Hermione. That will be the end of school. This is our first day of school!" yelled Ron.

Hermione shot him a face that could kill. "I'll have you know Ron that our future depends on how we do on that test!" she screeched.

Harry just sat there trying to suppress a laugh. He missed the way his two best friends bickered. It was the way Lupin and Sirius would argue at times. Harry then got an idea.

"We didn't get a chance to say hi to Sirius and Lupin," Harry stated.

"Professor Lupin," Hermione corrected him. Ron and Harry stared at her for a second.

"You're right. I forgot we have to call him Professor now. Geez that will be tough," Ron complained.

"Let's go see them!" Hermione announced.

The three made their way up to the long table. They stood in front of Remus and Sirius but the two did not notice them. They were in a heated debate. Sirius was at the point of yelling but Remus was speaking perfectly normal. You could still tell that both were extremely angry with the other.

"I told you that if you apperate then there will be smoke!" Remus claimed.

"Moony! I swear you stood there and told me 'Oh no! It is very simple. There will be no smoke'!" Sirius yelled.

Siera rotated around so that she could see the fighting grown men. She laughed at the sight of them. She would have let them keep arguing for the sake of a good laugh but it seemed they had visitors.

"Gentlemen?" she waited for a moment but not a pause in the argument. "Guys?" still no stop. "Children!" she yelled. That got their attention. The men faced Siera stunned at her behavior.

"Really Siera we were talking about something of importance," Sirius griped. Siera groaned slightly then gestured to the trio.

"Yes well you have company," she said with a hint of bitterness. They all turned to see Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Kids!" Sirius yelled. Sirius went around the table and engulfed them with his arms.

"Sirius I can't breathe," Ron tried to get out.

"Yea me either," Harry coughed. Remus and Siera smiled at them. Sirius let them out of the death hold. Remus got up slowly and went towards the children. As soon as Hermione saw Remus she ran to him and hugged him harder than he had ever been hugged before.

"Hello to you too Hermione," he barely laughed.

"It's so nice to have you back teaching Re- Professor!"she beamed trying hard to remember the Professor part.

He smiled sweetly then lowered his head to her ear. "I think you can call me Remus outside of class, Hermione."

"Can we call you Remus too?" Ron asked loudly after overhearing Remus' comment to Hermione.

Remus nodded to both boys. "That goes for you too Harry."

Sirius smiled at Harry then ruffled his hair. There was a slight pain in Remus' heart. Sirius would always do that with James when they were in school. This reminded him so much of his own school years. Sirius, James (or Harry in this case), and himself were all at Hogwarts. Sirius was chasing after girls as usual and his self wasn't doing to good a job in that department. Just then a hand hit him over the side of the head.

"Ow!" he yelped in pain. He squinted at Sirius who tried to get his hand behind his back before Remus could notice it. "Sirius, that didn't work when we were in school and it isn't going to work now!"

Sirius could not contain his laughter anymore. He doubled over while cackling. This made Remus laugh as well. "I'm sorry Moony but if you could have seen your face. You were off in la la land."

The six of them were now all laughing. Siera though stopped before the rest and moved to where they were standing. She extended her hand and greeted each student.

"Hi my name is Professor Scarlet and I believe that these two gentlemen did not introduce us," she said kindly. Remus quickly stopped laughing but Sirius continued. Finally Remus elbowed him in the ribs and he abruptly stopped as well.

"Yes I'm sorry. Professor Scarlet this is Ronald Wesley."

"Ah yes. Remus tells me that you're a wonderful friend," Ron blushed slightly.

Remus smiled and then continued, "This is Miss Hermione Granger."

"Hello Hermione. Remus tells me that you are very smart."

"Oh I'm not to sure. Do you know that you're the first Muggle born to teach Muggle Studies?" she asked hesitantly.

"Well isn't that ironic," Siera leaned in just a bit and whispered," I'm sure you're plenty smart dear."

"And this is," Remus was interrupted by Siera.

"Harry Potter. I have heard a lot about you." Harry mentally groaned. He hated it when adults would act like he was a god because he was The-Boy-Who-Lived. He didn't want to be known for that. But he knew that Professor Scarlet was going to fawn over him now.

"Harry is it true that," he could feel it coming but then he was greatly surprised. "Is it true that you live with Muggles?"

"Uh yea," this caught him off guard.

"Well what do you think of them and be truthful?"

"I think they are…kind of boring," he stated truthfully like he was told. Siera laughed a bit to everyone's surprise.

"By the end of this year you will defiantly enjoy some part of the Muggle world."

There was a brief pause then Sirius joined in. "So what classes do you have today?" They pulled out their schedules and examined them. It was the first time they had seen them. After they had seen their own they looked onto someone else's. It dawned on them at the same time.

"It says we have remedial classes!" they all shouted. The three adults stared at them dumfounded. Remus called over Maria and Arina from the table to take a look at the schedules. First they introduced themselves quickly. They took the schedules away from the trio and studied them carefully.

"It says here that I will be having two hours with Harry," said Remus still looking at the paper.

"I have Hermione for two hours," chimed Maria.

"Ron will be with me for two hours," stated Arina.

"We'll have to ask Dumbledore about this," mentioned Sirius.

"Wait. Why am I not teaching any remedial lessons?" questioned an almost upset Siera. The group just stood there with their mouths open unsure what the answer to her question was.

"Because you will be attending lessons," came a cold slimy voice from behind her. She pivoted around and was face to face with Severus Snape.

"Attending? Meaning a teacher will be teaching ME? Who will it be?" she asked as all of her disappointment turned to anger. A hint of a smirk appeared on Snape's face.

"I will be teaching you," everyone's eyes grew wider.

"Like hell you are," mumbled a hot Remus. Sirius put his arm across Remus' chest restraining him from doing anything rash. To Sirius' dismay Snape saw Remus' reaction.

"Oh I see Lupin has a girlfriend. Don't constrain him Black. Well I guess it's the only thing you can do isn't it?" Snape sneered. Siera had to hold both Sirius and Remus back. It took all her might to do it. Snape continued," It isn't my fault she is too idiotic to brew a simple pepper up potion."

As soon as the words left his mouth Siera was about to attack. Remus and Sirius had to hold her back. It took both of their strong arms to do it too.

"And she has quite an attitude. Doesn't she seem more of Black's type? I forgot. La Dai aren't you with Black?" The whole group was about to pounce on him at that very second but an alarm type bell went off signaling the first class.

"We didn't even get a chance to eat breakfast," complained Ron.

"We didn't either," sighed Arina.

"Ok I have an idea. How about I conjure us up a breakfast in my classroom and once we are finished we can go on about with our lesson," suggested Remus. Everyone replied with 'yes's.

"That's a great idea Remus," complemented Siera.

"Don't even think about it. You have class to attend," sneered Snape. He walked off to his room with a flash.

Remus walked over to Siera and whispered into her ear, "I'm free for second period. I will bring you some food during that class."

She looked into his eyes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She followed Snape quickly trying to catch up with him. Sirius placed his hand on Remus' shoulder.

"Well Moony, she is a nice one," he sighed while trying to steal a glance at Maria

"I want you to be outside that classroom during that entire session," Remus demanded.

Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom

The entire group minus Siera and Sirius were positioned around a large table. It had taken Maria longer to get to the room. She had gone and asked Dumbledore what was with the remedial classes. The surrounding people all gave her questioning looks as she entered the room. Maria sat down in between Hermione and Arina.

"Well," she began," Albus, thinks you three should have extra advanced lessons with one of us apiece. It is to insure us that you are capable of facing any dangers that might appear this year."

"You said advanced?" Hermione quickly asked.

"Yes. That's exactly what I said. Miss Granger is it?" Maria questioned.

"Yes, Professor. Excuse me but it says remedial classes on our schedules."

"I think I know what Dumbledore is getting at with this. He wants to make sure if there are any spies here at Hogwarts, they won't become suspicious if you are all taking advance classes," Remus jumped in.

"That's right Remus."

"So is that why Professor Scarlet is with Snape? To take advance Potions?" asked a curious Ron.

Maria looked over at Arina then snickered a bit. The rest of the group was confused.

"No. I'm afraid Siera has never been good with Potions. Dumbledore just wants to make sure she is at least capable of making antidotes," laughed Maria.

Arina and Maria laughed while the rest just smiled, not wanting to offend Maria and Arina by laughing at their friend. Ron's main goal though was trying to cram as much food into his mouth as possible. Hermione has already seen him put a piece of toast and spoon full of eggs in there. Remus noticed Ron and began to smile.

"I believe we should all follow Ron's order and eat. Well maybe not as fast as he is," the group then began to eat only slower than the freckled red head.

Dungeon Corridor

The corridor was damp and smelled of rats. Sounds of dripping surrounded Siera. She was extremely cold too. How could Professor Snape stand this? The only way for him to be able to was if he had 10 layers of clothes on. Which could be a possibility. No one could see anything but black and he didn't seem to be the kind of guy to wear a purple undershirt. Siera decided she should make small talk with her new "Professor".

"So Severus, may I call you Severus?" she asked while trying to quicken her walking pace to be even with him. He shot her a look that was colder than the room. Then a small grin appeared but it was very small.

"None of my other students are allowed to call me by my first name Miss Scarlet," he was obviously enjoying this. Was this man crazy or what? Did he really expect her to call a man that was only a few years older than her Professor Snape?

Instead of commenting to him she quietly slowed her pace down to normal and let him walk ahead of her. Without her realizing it Sirius walked beside her.

"Isn't he a greasy git?" Sirius joked, scaring Siera. She jumped being startled by him then laughed lightly.

"Yes he is. Is he always like that?"

"Of course!" Siera laughed at this but quickly quieted down when she saw Snape's head slightly turn around. After he turned back around they continued their conversation.

"He really made Remus and you upset. Judging by your little argument with Maria last night it doesn't surprise me that you go riled but Remus doesn't act like the type that would get mad," she stared at the ground watching her every step.

"Mooney rarely acts that way. He has two moods. One is his calm, polite, normal self then there is his other," he took a pause then laughed," I fondly call it the 'I could kill you right now and I would laugh as they put the needle in my arm' mood."

Siera widened her eyes and then smiled. "And he doesn't act like that often, right?"

"Oh no! He is a damn marshmallow. An intelligent marshmallow but marshmallow nonetheless. That is the only time thought that I have ever seen him act that way with Snivelous," Siera could not contain her laughter at Sirius's nickname for Snape. Her laughter was so loud that Snape jerked around, facing them. He had a look that could petrify.

"Black! I ignored the fact that you are invading on my class time but I will not allow you to cal me names behind my back!"

"Oh is someone hurt?" Sirius asked with fake sympathy. His voice returning to its full self," Why don't we see just who is the better once and for all you git?"

"The pleasure would be mine!" he growled. Siera tried to get them to stop but it was no use. "Stay out of the way!" Snape hissed. Siera backed up against the wall.

The two men stood ten paces away from the other. They pulled out their wands. There was complete silence for a moment even the water had stopped dripping. Then suddenly Snape yelled out a spell.

"Reducto Black!" he yelled. A small light shot out of his wand and hit Sirius in the chest. Sirius was thrown back twenty feet until he hit the wall. He was sent crashing down to the floor. The wand broke into two large pieces and Sirius lay motionless on the ground with a gash on his head.
