Harry and Hermione woke up with a start that morning, when their son Sirius came running into their room, holding a letter. He shook Hermione.

"Mum, mum, I've got it, I've got the letter, I'm going to Hogwarts." Sirius said in a tone of pure excitement.

"Well done sweetheart, your father and I are so proud of you, I've go no doubt that you'll be in Gryffindor." replied Hermione in her maternal tone.

"Quite right, I'm sure you'll get onto the house team as well, you fly better than I did, I'll tell you what, we'll go to Eyelop's Owl emporium, and get you that owl you've had your eye on, when we go down later on today."

The three of them went down stairs to breakfast which had been skillfully prepared by Dobby, they then went upstairs and got dressed. Number 12 Grimmund Palace had become a lot more habitable since Kreacher had died, and Harry and Hermione had taken up Residence, even the ghastly portrait had been removed of Sirius's Mother. Hedwig hooted on her perched as Harry walked past and patted her. Everything had been dated, due to the fact that they held mass dinners on Sunday, whereby the Weasly clan and Hermione's parents came and ate as a family.

Later that day, Harry, Hermione and Sirius, flooed to Diagon Alley, Hermione took Sirius to get his robes and his supplies, while Harry went and bought the owl (which Sirius named Gael). However the trip took a turn for the worse, when they ran into the Malfoys, Draco, Pansy and their daughter Erika. A look of deep loathing surged through Harry and Draco's eyes.

"Ah Potter, I see your son got his letter, another Gryffindor I suppose, well, for the man who twice killed the Dark Lord, I would expect nothing less. Our Erika, got her letter too, and I have no doubt that she too will carry on the family tradition of Slytherin." said Draco seethingly.

"Well Malfoy, we shall see, after all, there have been incidences in which there has been the odd white sheep, shall we say, for example Sirius Black, a long line of Slytherins, yet he landed himself in Gryffindor. Now if you'll excuse us, we have a prior engagement. I dare say Sirius and Erika will meet around the school." replied Harry, in a much more civilized tone.

Harry sent Hermione and Sirius to peruse Diagon Alley, while he apparated to Hogsmeade to see Albus Dumbledore. He disapparated in the Three Broomsticks, where he was greeted by Madam Rosmerta, and Albus Dumbledore. He ordered a butter beer and sat down with the aging headmaster.

"Harry, what a delight it is to see you again, I trust the family is well." said Albus

"Thank you Albus, it's a pleasure to see you again, Hermione and Sirius are as well as can be expected." replied Harry

"Now I believe you came to see me, in regards of a position teaching within the school, Defense Against the Dark Arts if I'm not mistaken. As you know there is a high mortality rate with the territory, which I'm sure you will be more than capable of challenging and winning." joked the old man

"Yes Albus, I wish to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, as I understand you have severe trouble filling the vacancy in the wake of Tonk's unfortunate accident last year." said Harry on a more serious note.

"Welcome aboard Professor Potter, as you know Term starts on the 1st of September, however I suspect you should wish to show up a couple of day earlier to prepare yourself. You will notice from the book lists, I have gone with two volumes you should be very familiar with, the first and second volume of the Dark Arts Almanac, after all you wrote them." said Dumbledore, as he got up from the table, and walked to his awaiting carriage.

He apparated back to Grimmund Palace, where he was greeted by Ron Weasly, Sirius's Godfather.

"Well if it isn't Ronald Weasly, how've you been you sly old dog you, last I heard you made the England team. Sirius has been asking after you for months." said Harry, hugging his best friend.

"Hi Harry, I've been well, the training keeps me in shape. I actually came here to ask you a very serious question, you see Fleur and I have been dating for a long time, and I was wondering if you wanted to be the best man at my wedding." asked Ron

"Gee Ron, let me think .. uh ... I'm sorry I can't, yeah sure I'll do it." said Harry in tones of mock thought.

The two of them laughed as they sat down and reminisced about old times with Hermione.
