Disclaimer: I do not own anything except Riley, Rebecca, and the Auror team Cana Lupa. I also own any other characters you may not recognize.

Author's note – I'm going to make this as short as possible. To understand the original characters and their connections to the Marauders, you'll have to read my other fic "Marauder's 6th Year!" it explains Riley, and Rebecca. You don't have to read that to understand this, only if you want to know more about the OC people. This is a sequel to the other one though. Hope you enjoy it and please review!!

This takes place in Harry Potter's sixth year, but is going to be basically from the point of view of the adults

Remus Lupin shaded his eyes as he stepped into the blinding sunlight of muggle London. It was three weeks into the summer before Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts. Remus had just received an urgent owl from Dumbledore concerning the new headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix, also concerning Harry and Sirius, whom they all thought dead. Ever since the Veil took Sirius, Remus had felt empty inside. Sure, he had friends in the Order, but none he could connect to. Then there was his twin brother, Romulus, whom he could only see under dire circumstances. He'd lost touch with his two other good friends from Hogwarts, well one more than the other. Rebecca Donaldson had a run-in with Remus a week ago and they'd kept in contact, beginning to restore their friendship. The other friend was a different story. She was more than a friend. She was the woman Remus fell in love with. They hadn't parted on good terms though.

[FLASH BACK!]

"Please, Riles, don't make this harder than it has to be. You have that job offer in America. You'll find someone so much better."

Riley shook her head of golden hair. "I don't want anyone else! Remus, I love you! Nothing will ever change that. There is no one better!" Riley's smoky blue eyes filled with tears and she was crying openly, something Remus had never seen her do until this moment. "Can you honestly tell me you don't love me? Just like that? All of a sudden?"

"That is what I'm saying." Then Remus Lupin apparated away and out of her life.

[END FLASHBACK!]

Sighing as the memory faded, he made his way to the Leaky Cauldron. Remus had done that only because he thought it was best. She was probably married by now. Riley was one of the first original female Aurors at that. He opened the door and attempted to push Riley and Sirius to the back of his mind. Dumbledore said that the Leaky Cauldron was their temporary headquarters until Tom had to open to customers that is, but he didn't let anyone room there, as a favor to them all. Remus knocked on the door to the private chamber once, waited for a moment then Tom let him in. The only people there were most of the Order, some were still on missions and couldn't attend. The Weasley children, Harry, and Hermione were also there. Harry gave Remus a small smile, which almost reached his eyes, almost. Remus waved to Harry hardly able to comprehend how the boy was able to deal with all of this. Harry had been writing to Remus everyday of the summer so far. Remus had even been to visit him at Privet Drive a few times each week. The two had gotten very close. Remus sat down in between Moody and Harry, waiting for Dumbledore to come in. No one spoke until Dumbledore came down followed by a pretty, tan, brunette witch about Remus' age.

"Everyone, I have charmed the room so that no one may view us or hear what's going on." Dumbledore said. "This is Rebecca Donaldson of the American branch of the Order of the Phoenix." Rebecca gave them all a nod. "There is something at the American Ministry of Magic which will help us greatly, Rebecca? Would you please?"

Rebecca stepped up beside Dumbledore. "You all are aware of the Veil correct?" She paused for a moment. "We have one as well, the two are connected. Something wandered into my friend, Riley's, office. I'll let her explain from there...Where is she?" Rebecca looked to Albus.

Harry elbowed Remus lightly in the ribs. "How do you know Riley and Rebecca?"

"That obvious, eh?"

Harry shrugged. "A little by the look on your face." He and Remus had gotten closer; the death of Sirius had brought them together.

Dumbledore and Rebecca excused themselves as the other members began to talk about what these two American women could have that was so important. There was a loud crash overhead and then two blond women fell down into the parlor, from the stairs, which had previously been sealed. The taller woman's wand got thrown. They were moving so fast it was hard to tell them apart. Then, "You split my wand with that damn sword!" exclaimed a voice that was somewhat familiar. The Order members looked ready to have a heart attack; the shorter woman was Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Where you're going you won't need it." The other woman now had her sword at Bellatrix's throat. "A little help here?" She asked.

"Stupefy!" Cried Arthur Weasley. "How in the name of, I mean, she was, what was the..." Arthur trailed off.

"I think what he's trying to say is, welcome home, Riles." Grinned Tonks, who seemed to know Riley GoldenStar.

"There you are!" Albus exclaimed coming back inside the room. "Oh my," he added when he saw Bellatrix. He pointed his wand at her and Bellatrix was gagged and bound. "I believe the ministry will want to talk to this one."

"Was she trying to –"Rebecca started to ask.

"Yes he was bloody mad when I locked him in a closet to keep her from seeing him, in case she got away."

"But they are not aware of his presence?" Albus asked sharply.

Riley glanced at Dumbledore. "They don't know for certain."

"Good."

"Would someone mind explaining what is going on here?" Demanded Severus Snape, giving Rebecca a glare, and then turned to Riley and gave a small smile. Yes, Severus Sylvester Snape smiled. Shocking isn't it? (A/N: Sorry about Snape's middle name, just thought it sounded interesting)

Rebecca strained a smile. "Maybe if you would kindly shut up, we could continue, and then you'd find out something."

Harry and Ron exchanged amused glances. They were beginning to like this Rebecca woman.

Harry looked over at his former professor in mild amusement; Remus had gone stark white when Riley entered the room, like he had seen a ghost or something. Harry turned his attention to Riley as she began to speak.

"Voldemort— Oh for Merlin's sake! Stop flinching!" Rebecca smirked; she and her friend both had problems with people being afraid of a name. "Anyway," Riley continued, "we received information that the American school, Toadblossom, was attacked by him. Some teachers died defending the school and getting their students out. Luckily there are only about 30 students. Most parents have decided to home-train their children but a few are being transferred to Hogwarts. Voldemort wanted these kids out of the way for a reason, but we do not know what it is."

Minerva McGonagall spoke up, "Won't having them at Hogwarts endanger our students?"

"You've heard of the new Auror team Cana Lupa, haven't' you?" Answered Rebecca.

"Not much is known about them, only that they are females and lethal."

Rebecca nodded. "The two of them have agreed to teach a wandless, physical defense course at Hogwarts. Riley is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher as well. Besides, Hogwarts is one of the safest places on Earth, you will be secure."

The meeting adjourned shortly after that, Harry turned and asked Remus what he knew about Cana Lupa.

"Not much. Just that they are pretty young, and went to Toadblossom themselves. It's almost impossible to get in there and keep up with the curriculum. You have to make all O's and do a certain amount of extra-curricular activities to pass. Not many children get in, and a big percentage of those who do drop out because they can't deal with it."

"Oh." Was all Harry could say.

Two girls both around 16 walked around Diagon Alley, seemingly aimlessly. It would be hard to believe that these two opposites were best friends. They were the same height but any physical similarity ended there.

One had layered blond hair, reaching to the top of her thighs, but no one knew this as it was always up in a messy bun. She was wearing baggy black pants, studded belt, and a tight black tank top with red lines running across it. She was what most people would call a "punk". She also wore a leather watch and 3 cuff bracelets on her other arm. On her middle finger was a slender, but long, diamond shaped ring with intricate Gothic designs. Her eyes were a shimmering sapphire blue.

Her companion had raven hair falling just below her shoulder blades in soft waves and sparkling purple eyes. She wore a denim skirt four inches above her knee with a pale pink spaghetti strap shirt. She wore no jewelry save a small gold necklace with an amethyst pendant on it. She was often described as pretty, but she was constantly making jokes about it. However the other girl was also extremely beautiful. The one with purple eyes flicked her hair over her shoulder. "Where are we supposed to meet them?"

"Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," answered the blond.

"Sounds like a joke shop."

"It is."

The girl's violet eyes shined. "Sounds almost like you want to be back at school, Renee."

The one called Renee winked one her blue eyes at her friend. "Of course, Gillian, who wouldn't miss our days of being able to be kids?"

Remus escorted Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermione along with Tonks to the twins' joke shop. They stepped inside and found Dumbledore talking to the twins, Riley and Rebecca. "Oi, family!" Called George with a smile; Fred came out of the storage room with a big box, but promptly dropped it as Snape walked inside the shop followed by a very pretty brunette with black eyes. "Here she is, I will see you all after my mission is over with." To everyone's utter shock he gave the girl a hug then went outside and left.

"Everyone, this is Cathryn. She will be staying at Hogwarts this summer and transferring into 6th year, from Toadblossom," stated Dumbledore introducing the kids.
