Chapter 12: Mrs. Lupin

"I know I've been gone for a while but did you really have to attack me?" Sarah asked in a think American accent as she stumbled to her feet. A goofy grin spead on Faith's face.

"Well if you didn't scare the hell out of us with your death eater costume ya Damn American!" Faith said as she gripped Sarah into a tight huge. Sarah laughed and said

"I had a feeling I'd get ripped for getting my ol' accent back."

Remus just stood there thunderstruck. Faith remembered he was there and looked at Sarah.

"You have to come to my room and tell me EVERYTHING....as soon as your done telling Remus everything." Faith said nodding towards Remus. She winked and then left the room. Faith took a deep breath as she made her way towards the teachers part of the school.

"Faith!" A voice shouted. Faith turned to see McGonagall.

"Dumbeldore would like you to take over the Defense Against the Dark arts subject." McGonagall said.

"Why?" Faith asked raising an eyebrow.

"The professor that had the job...he is now dead...most unfortunate." McGonagall said shaking her head sadly.

"Its been a long time Remus." Sarah said.

"Yeah...what...how...where were you?" Remus asked.

"In America." She said. Neither had moved, they both stood staring at eachother with blank expressions.

"You died." Remus said shocked.

"No...I didn't. Everyone thought I was dead. I wasn't though." She said shaking her head.

"Why were you in America?" He asked.

"Its a long story...but...basically, hiding from Voldemort. I didn't do a good job of it either. His followers found me more times than I can count on both ha-" Sarah started but was cut off by a large kiss by Remus.

"I missed you." He said wrapping her in a large hug. Sarah smiled and sighed.

"I missed you more."

"I don't think thats possible." Remus smiled.

"I want to hear everything thats happened." Sarah said.

"Well lets not talk here." Remus said leading her out of the room.

An hour later Remus had a roaring fire going and Sarah sat on the couch in his room. She smiled as he sat down next to her and began to tell her everything that had happened. He started with Faith running off and how everyone had assumed she had died. He explained why she ran off and all about the Order over the last years. He then explained Sirius and Harry,Sirius's death, Faith's return and Remus getting the Astronomy teaching job. When Remus was done he found Sarah asleep and cuddled under his arm. He smiled and gave her a gentle squeeze before falling asleep, her in his arms.

Harry groggily got out of bed and made his way down to the Great Hall.

"Good Morning!" Hermione said in a bright and squeaky voice. Harry just made a grunting noise as Ron stumbled into the Great Hall. His hair was ruffled and he was barely awake.

"Why are you two so tired? Didn't you get to sleep at all?" Hermione asked.

"No." Ron grumbled

"Why Not?" Hermione asked sternly.

"Well for one we stayed up till 1 am waiting for Faith to show up, but she never did. Then we had to finish our Potions essay and Transfiguration essay." Harry moaned. Suddenly Ron let out a startled gasp.

"Those are due today?" He asked. Hemione and Harry nodded. Ron jumped up from the table and turned to leave, nearly running clear into Faith who was walking to the Teachers Table.

"Ohhh..uhh..s-s-sorry" on stammered out. Faith just smiled and walked to the Teachers Table, sitting next to Serverus and a girl Harry did not recognize. She had shoulder length black hair that was straight and shiny. She was smiling and talking a lot with Remus. Suddenly Dumbeldore stood up and in a booming voice said

"I am pleased to announce we have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and Divination professor."

"Professor Faith Sloom will be taking over the Dark Arts." Dumbeldore said. There were a few cheers from the Gryffindor and Huffelpuff table.

"Professor Lupin will be taking over the Divination class." Dumbeldore said. The girl with the black hair waved at everyone and Harry spun his head around to face Hermione. Hermione sat there open-mouthed.

"Professor Lupin? Did I hear him correctly?" Harry whispered.

"Maybe we misunderstood. Maybe Remus is the teacher and she was just waving at someone." Hermione said trying to convince herself.

"Well, we'll find out soon enough. I have Divination right after Potions and right before the Dark Arts." Harry said looking down at his schedule before getting up and running off to find Ron.

"That's Crazy." Ron said as he and Harry walked down into the dungeons.

"I thought so." Harry said as the two walked into the Potions classroom. Snape sat at his desk, a complicated potion lay on all their desks.

"You all have on a piece of parchment a potion. Everybody's is different so there cannot be any cheating." Snape said with a devilish grin. There was a single loud groan coming from several of the students.

"You have all of class to finish it. You may begin. This potion just might be on your final." Snape said giving them all icy glares. Harry quietly set up his caldron. He silently cursed Snape over and over again as he grabbed the ingredients.

"I…HATE…this class." Ron said through gritted teeth as he mashed frog legs into his potion. Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening. Faith's head popped into the class room. Harry and Ron just stared at her and she gave a little wave as he eyes scanned the room.

"Ah…Serverus." Faith said. Serverus turned around and looked at Faith with a peculiar look that Harry had never seen him use on anyone before. Faith just smiled at him and said

"I was wondering if you had any polyjuice potion?"

Serverus smiled and answered

"Of course." He then walked over the the potions cabinet, took out a vial of liquid and handed it over to her.

"Thank you. Gotta show the 7th years the real side of polyjuice" she said taking the vial from him.

"Who are you going to turn into?" He asked.

"I don't know…maybe McGonagall..That'd give her a right ol' scare." Faith laughed and Serverus just smiled brightly, chuckled slightly and shook his head. Faith then left the room.

"Did you see that?" Hermione whispered.

"Yeah….so?" Ron said.

"So?! Do you not have eyes?!" Hermione asked.

"I do…but whats your point?" Ron asked raising an eyebrow.

"Its so obvious….Professor Snape likes Professor Sloom." Hermione whispered matter of factly.

"What?! Your nuttier than I thought." Ron said rolling his eyes.

"Its true…he acts exactly like someone else I know that likes her." Hermione said as she added dragons claw to her potion.

"Who?" Harry and Ron both asked.

"You." Hermione said jetting a finger at Ron.

"YOU?!" Harry asked shocked and turning to face his best friend.

"I…I do not!" Ron declared, his face turning a light shade of red.

"You do so. You act…goofy around her." Hermione said.

"Professor Snape did act a little strangely." Harry muttered.

"See? He likes her….Now I wonder if she likes him…Doesn't appear she does." Hermione murmured.

"Another boring day of Divination." Ron muttered as they made their way to class. Harry entered the room and found it much different from the usual classroom. There was a bewitchment on the ceiling so it constantly looked like the night sky. There were several small tables with comfy looking chairs and tables with candles on them.

"I am Professor Lupin…and this is Divination." The girl with straight black hair said. There were several murmurs from the students and a few looked to the ceiling.

"We will by studying the Zodiac along with several different forms of Divination. Todays form will be Lychnomancy. Instead of taking notes you will be looking at the flame and writing down what it does."

Harry wanted to ask if Professor Lupin had any relation to Remus Lupin but instead turned his gaze to the flame of a candle on one of the tables.

"Professor?" Lavendar asked.

"Yes?" she said coming over.

"Whats my flame doing?" Lavendar asked.

"Well..it appears to be wavering. Which…if you looked in your book, means that a journey awaits you." She said.

"Ohhhh." Lavendar said in a mystified voice.

"I still say this class sucks…no matter how great a teacher she is." Ron muttered.
