Ginny, Hermione, and I were lounging around in our dormitory when Hedwig came in, dropped a letter on my lap, and flew back out. "Who's it from?" Hermione asked, opening her eyes.

I looked at it, "It's from Carter." Carter is Remus Lupin's son.

"What's it say?" Ginny asked.

I read it aloud:

"Dear Alexis

Hey girl! How are you? I'm pretty good...as long as there's not a full moon. Like father, like son, eh? Anyway, I have some good news. Tempest (AN: Sirius' son.) and I are coming to Hogwarts. Faith (AN: Sirius' ex-wife.) is sending Tempest here because he got expelled from Durmstrung and I'm coming because Dumbledore said that Professor Snape has a potion that'll help me with the full moon. We'll be arriving Friday, October 30, at eight o'clock. See you then.

Carter Lupin"

As soon as I finished the letter, the door opened and Andrea, a girl in Ginny's and my year, came in with a smile on her face. "Why are you so happy?" I asked, putting Carter's letter in its envelope.

"He finally asked me out."

"Who?" Hermione asked.

Andrea smiled at me, "Ron."

"Ouch!" I had given myself a bad paper cut. I stood, "I'm gonna go and get a band aid. See you guys later." I ran down the stairs. Tears were filling my eyes so I couldn't see who I ran into. "I'm so sorry." I said as I stood.

"Alexis? Are you okay?" the person I ran into said.

I wiped my eyes and looked at the person, "R-Ron...I'm f-fine...g-gotta g-go." I ran out of the common room.

After seeing Madam Pomfrey, I made my way to the one person, aside from Ginny who has her own love life problems, that I could talk to...Sirius Black. I knocked on his door, "Sirius? Are you here?"

The door opened and Sirius' smiling face appeared. With one look at my tear stained face and red eyes, his smile was replaced by a look of worry. He let me in and closed the door, "Alexis, what's wrong?"

I swallowed, "Ron has a girlfriend."

"Who?"

"Andrea O'Connor."

He gave me a hug, "I'm sorry."

I let go and sat on his desk, "Why do I even like him? There are other guys in this world. Sure, the only guys I'd think about dating I think of as brothers, plus, one's a werewolf and the other is your son."

Sirius smiled, "Well, maybe in time, you'll get over him."

I gave him a 'yeah-right' look, "I've been in love with the guy for six years."

He shrugged and was about to say something else with McGonagall's voice came over the intercom, (AN: Like in Chamber of Secrets) "Will Professor Black, the Potters, the Weasleys and Miss Granger please come to the Great Hall entrance."

"Come on, let's go." Sirius opened the door, followed me out, and closed the door.

"TEMPEST!!" I shrieked. I ran to him and hugged him.

"Lexis!" Tempest gave me a once over, "My, my, my, you have matured."

"You're a horny little bugger Tempest." Carter said smiling.

"Like father, like son." a voice said behind us.

Sirius turned and glared, "Caridwen, what are you doing?"

"Not that it's any of your business Black, but I'm going to the kitchen." She took a good look at Tempest, "So, this is your son?"

Tempest stuck out his hand, "Tempest Black. And you are?"

"Professor Caridwen Andrews."

"What do you teach?"

"Muggle Studies." She looked at Carter, "You must be Carter, Remus Lupin's son."

Carter raised an eyebrow, "How do you know my dad?"

Caridwen smiled, "Well, back in school, Lily and I were best friends and I dated your father."

"How come you and Sirius never got along?" Ginny asked.

"That's another story for another time." Sirius said hurriedly. "You six need to get to bed. If I'm not mistaken, you have Quidditch tryouts tomorrow."

Harry's eye got the same gleam Oliver Wood always got when Quidditch was mentioned, "That's right! We're looked for a beater and a chaser."

"Harry's the captain." I whispered to Tempest and Carter.

"Just like James." I heard Sirius whisper.

"Team! Bed!" Harry yelled.

Trinity: Sorry about the lack of updates. My computer had a bad virus, so I was totally disconnected from it for about a week. But, I was busy and wrote in some of my notebooks, like this one. But, anyway, the character Carter is based on my friend Ryan. Hope you enjoyed this chappie, more to come.
