Chapter 5: Back to Hogwarts

"Harry just talk to her." Hermione said as she checked and re-checked her trunk.

"Seriously. Todays the last day you can. I mean you won't be able to aft-" Ron started but was cut off by the door swinging open hard and fast. Faith slid into the room and regained her balance.

"If you would like to go to Hogwarts. Then I suggest you hurry up." Faith said pulling on a jacket.

"Are you coming with us?" Hermione asked.

"Of course I am. You'd think I'd let you three go off to Hogwarts by yourselves? HA! Dumbeldores told me all about you." Faith said running a hand through her hair,a smile playing on her lips. Ron smirked and Hermione nudged Harry as if to say 'shes talking about you'

"Lets go. Lets go. Lets go!" Faith shouted at the bottom of the stairs. Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, all came thundering down the stairs and ran out the door.

"Always the impatient one." Remus said walking calmly down the stairs and walking out the door.

"You know me too well." Faith said following him and closing the door with a hard slam.

Harry, Hermione and Ron all sat together as Faith and Remus sat together. Faith was sleeping, while Remus was reading.

"Wonder who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is going to be?" Hermione whispered as the door opened and Neville Longbottom walked in closely followed by Luna Lovegood.

"Who is that?" Luna asked in her usual dreamy tone sitting next to Ron.

"Remus Lupin and Faith... I don't know her last name." Hermione said biting his lower lip.

"Sloom." Faith said yawning and stretching.

"Watch it." Remus muttered as Faith nudged his book.

"Shut up." Faith said. She then looked and noticed Luna and Neville. Faith seemed to straighten up as she looked at Neville. She then stood up and sat down next to Neville who looked terrified.

"Are you...Neville Longbottom?" Faith asked.

"y-y-y-yes." Neville managed to stammer out.

"I knew your mother. Oh she was fantastic. She got into a spot of trouble with me a few times in our third year....She saved my life on more than one occasion." Faith said excitedly.

"Remember Remus?" Faith asked turning towards Remus.

"Huh?" Remus asked looking up from his book.

"Do you remember that time in our seventh year? The time Alice came and saved all of us?" Faith asked him sighing.

"Course I do...How could I forget?" He said returning to his book. Faith went on to tell them of the time in thier seventh year when they had been locked in the dungeons. Remus choose not to listen, he was lost in his own thoughts, and even though he kept turning the pages and looking at the words he wasn't understanding a thing he was reading. The truth was, Remus still had his mind on that letter.

The letter remained un-opened and was in his coat pocket. Remus was terrified of what its contents might be. 'Does she still love me? Did she get re-married?' All these thoughts were constantly picking at his brain as the train came to a shuddering halt and they all made thier way to the castle.

"Moony!?" Faith yelled.

"Wha'?" Remus asked snapping out of his thoughts.

"Are you ok? You seem a little out of it?" Faith asked. Remus noticed that she had a look of pure concern on her face and Harry and Hermione were both giving him odd looks. Remus gave a short nod.

Serverus could feel his heart hammering in his chest. It seemed that as more students piled into the Great Hall, the faster his heart rate. Serverus hadn't seen her since that day at her house right after...no...it wasn't good to dwell on the past. He had been told by Dumbeldore that he was to tell everyone that he didn't have a clue where she was. Over time they began to believe she was dead. Serverus always figured it for the best, he would rather her be safe from Voldemort than not be around him. Then out of the blue there she was. Serverus knew that the only reason she was back was because Voldemort was.

Serverus could feel his heart do flip-flops as he saw her enter the Great Hall talking with Hermione. Dumbeldore refused to tell him why Faith was at Hogwarts. Every time he brought it up, Dumbeldore would get that twinkle in his eye and smile. He knew for a fact though that she was NOT the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. There was some new guy, Serverus hadn't caught his name yet(50 points:Does anyone know what the new character in the 6th books name is?). From what Serverus had seen of him he was tired looking and looked like he had once had a mane of reddish brown hair.

Serverus's eyes were on Faith as he watched her walk up to the staff's table. She exchanged a few words with Dumbeldore and then walked down the length of the table. She was closely followed by Remus and the two took seats at the far end of the table. Serverus sighed as the sorting began.

"Faith...may I ask as to why you are back at Hogwarts?" Remus asked as the feast got under way.

"Could ask you the same thing." Faith said smiling.

"Dumbeldore asked me to be the new Astronomy Professor. Whats your excuse?" He said.

"Apprentice. Dumbeldore just wanted me to come and help out the teachers in any way I could. He also wanted me to keep an eye on the Troublesome Muskateers over there." Faith said nodding her head in the trio's direction. Remus nodded and let his thoughts drift back to the letter. He took it out of his coat as Faith began to talk with Professor Flitwick. He inspected the front. Nothing out of the ordinary. Remus unfolded the parchment just enough so he could see the last line of the letter. It read:

Love you Forever, Sarah

Remus felt his heart soar. He carefully folded the letter back up and tucked it away into his coat. After the feast Remus made his way to the third floor where all the teachers rooms were held. He gave the password to the man in the purple suit and soon found himself in a large portion of the school that was blocked off to students. It had several halls with potraits of various things for each proffesor's room. It also had 2 studies and a lounging area.

Remus quickly walked down the hall and turned left. His room was the third one on his left. It was a portrait of a tall man sitting in a chair reading.

"Password?" he asked looking up from his book.

"Hogwarts. Change to Deluna." Remus said with a slight smile. Hogwarts was always the password to everything at the beginning of the year.

"I'll remember it sir." The portrait said swinging open.

Remus found himself facing a roaring fire. To his left was a large bed, and to his right was a desk that was facing a window. Tucked back on the wall with the fireplace was a door leading to a closet and one to a bathroom.

Remus sat on the edge of the bed and pulled out the letter. He quickly opened it smiling. His smile faded though when he read the date. It was dated just a year or two after Sarah supposdly died. A year before Faith dissapeared. Harry would have been 5 or so. Remus folded up the letter. She could be dead. She could not love him anymore. Remus put his head in his hands and cried for the first time since the day she 'died'.
