Ok…gonna go straight to when their going back to school.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh come on mom…please." Sabrina whined. "He's allowed to be at the school with me."
"I don't know." Her mom said.
"Mom please…Snuffles wants to come with me don't you boy?" Sabrina turned to Sirius who barked, wagged his tail, sat next to Sabrina and whined as if the thought of her leaving him alone at the house was breaking his heart. "Besides…you and daddy don't have time to look after him like I did…please oh please oh please mommy."
"Alright…since you put it that way…now go back to packing or we're gonna be late." Her mom said.
"Ma…we still have an hour." Sabrina said but she and Sirius ran up the stairs and into her room. "That was close." She looked at Sirius who was himself and looking in a mirror. "What the…"
"Shh…" He said. "James…yo mate…answer your damn mirror."
"What do ya want?" Sabrina heard James' voice and looked over Sirius' shoulder to see James' face in the mirror.
"Holy shit." She said.
"Hey Sabs." James said.
"Mate…you bringing my trunk with ya right?" Sirius said.
"Obviously." James said. :Hey Sabs…thanks for broomstick kit."
"You're welcome." Sabrina said.
"Sabrina…do I hear boys in there?" her dad said through the door. Sabrina and Sirius stared at each other with wide eyes before Sabrina took the mirror from Sirius, he turned into a dog while she stuffed the mirror under her pillow just as her dad opened the door to find Sirius lying on the floor, watching Sabrina throw stuff into her trunk. "Put things away neatly dear."
"Right daddy." Sabrina said. "And there weren't any boys…I was practicing making my voice sound different."
"Alright." Her dad said, looking around the room. His eyes stopped on Sirius who turned his head to look at him. Sabrina bit her lip, wondering if her father somehow knew about Sirius. "Hurry up and finish." She sighed when her dad left the room. She waited until she heard his footsteps go down the stairs then pulled the mirror out from under her pillow only to see her own face in it.
"Close one." She muttered to Sirius. "I'll hold this ok?" He nodded and Sabrina put the mirror in her purse.
At the station Sabrina and Sirius were standing around waiting. They were talking about stuff then Sabrina finally brought up the one thing Sirius was wondering about.
"When our friends show up…we act the same way we did when we got off that train at the start of holidays." Sabrina said.
"Right." Sirius said, mentally pissed at her for…well…everything.
"I'm serious." Sabrina said. "I don't know what's going on and I really need some time to think about it." She hugged Sirius then kissed him lightly.
"Alright." Sirius said, all the anger vanishing. They moved apart from each other just as Lilly and Molly ran through the barrier. Sabrina walked over to them.
"Hey Sas…guess your mom didn't let you bring your dog huh?" Lilly said. Sabrina shook her head.
"Bummer." Molly said. They moved away from the barrier just as James and Peter came through it.
"Hey guys…I'll be right back…gotta thank the guys for the gifts." Sabrina said. "Lilly you owe Molly some money." Molly grinned as Sabrina hurried over to James, Peter and Sirius. "Hey James…thanks so much for the bracelet."
"You're welcome Sabs." James said.
"And Peter…thanks for the necklace." Sabrina said. She gave Peter a hug which left him blushing like crazy.
"Looking like a fool walking around with two carts." James said. Sirius took the cart with his trunk on it.
"Poor James…always worried about his image." Sabrina said.
"You know it." James said, glancing at Lilly.
"Oh…she likes the necklace." Sabrina said. "She's wearing it." James smirked. "Want me to play matchmaker and try to get her to go on a date with you to the next Hogsmeade trip?'
"Sure." James said.
"I shall try my best…I feel sorry for Remus…staying at school and all." Sabrina said.
"Hey Sas…come on…we're gonna get a compartment now!!' Lilly shouted.
"Coming!" Sabrina shouted back. She gave the guys one last look before turning and running back to her friends. Her blonde hair blowing in the wind.
"So Sirius…anything happen between you and Sabs over the holidays?" James asked.
"Ye…no." Sirius said.
"Nothing happened?" James said, sounding shocked. "You were sleeping in her room and nothing happened?"
"Right." Sirius said.
"Wait…he was allowed in Sabrina's room?" Peter asked. "What was it like?"
"Lots of stuffed animals." Sirius said, glad to change the subject. "Pretty much a typical girl's room without everything being pink…"
"Summers…Lupin…my office…now." McGonagall said the next day. Sabrina and Remus were walking through the halls, talking about their holidays and thanking each other for the gifts when McGonagall found them. They followed her into her office and sat down at the same time.
"What's wrong Professor?" Sabrina asked after about 2 minutes of silence.
"Every head of house is calling their prefects to their offices to discuss this matter." McGonagall said.
"Which is…" Remus asked.
"There is a dance in February for valentine's day." McGonagall said.
"Sorta like a sweetheart dance?" Sabrina asked.
"Precisely." McGonagall said. "But we need you to ask everyone in your year if they would want that…you must report to me how many people agree with it."
"That all?" Sabrina asked.
"Yes…you may go." McGonagall said. Sabrina and Remus rose and left.
"So…you wanna do this?" Remus asked.
"Sure…why not." Sabrina said. "What bout you?"
"Don't see any harm in it…could be fun." Remus said.
"So there's two people in our house that want it." Sabrina said. "Who would you ask?"
"Umm…" Remus said. "I was thinking…maybe…about asking Meagan."
"Meagan?" Sabrina asked. "You mean Meagan as in the innocent little angel of Gryffindor…the fourth year Meagan?"
"Yeah." Remus said.
"Cool." Sabrina said. "You two would be so cute together…I can do the matchmaker thing I'm so good at and try to get her to go with you."
"Thanks." Remus said. "Who would you go with?"
"I don't know." Sabrina lied. "All depends on who asks…but seriously…if Snape or Malfoy ask I am so gonna puke."
"But they like you sooo much." Remus teased.
"Shut up." Sabrina said with a horrified look on her face.
"I pity you." Remus said. Sabrina smacked him, hard, in the arm.
"I said shut up…don't make me curse you." She said.
"Ok change of subject." Remus said. "Sirius find out what animal you are yet?"
"You find out about him spending the holidays with me?" Sabrina asked. Remus nodded. "Figures…he can't keep his mouth shut."
"Only us Marauders know." Remus said. "Don't worry. We're the only ones who can figure out how that worked out…after what James said about your father."
"Yeah…my father scared him…it was funny." Sabrina said, smiling. They returned to the common to find almost everyone in Gryffindor there.
