Chapter 40: Titleless

"I am sooo glad that the year is over." Ron said happily stretching.

"The year has gone by really fast." Harry said getting out of bed.

"Yup. Now all that's left is the end of year feast." Ron said ruffling his hair.

"The year would have gone by a lot faster if Professor Snape wasn't so sour." Neville put in.

"Yeah. He's been a real arse lately."

"Sarah Sarah Sarah! Do you realize that I am getting married in a week!" Faith said.

"Yes Faith." Sarah said flatly looking in the mirror and tying her hair back.

"Its insane. Like a huge rush to the head." Faith said smiling.

"The worst part is that you are probably the most impatient person in the whole world." Sarah said jokingly.

"I know. Its gonna kill me." Faith said sighing and falling onto Sarah and Remus's bed.

"Oy. Get off." Remus muttered.

"Come on Remus get up. We're going home today!" Faith said smiling and giving Remus a shake.

"I know. I'm tired. Wake me when its time to leave." He said pulling the sheets over his head. Faith jumped off the bed and left.

"The girl is gonna be unbearable for the next week." Remus groaned.

"Say Momma."

"Momma."

"Say Daddy."

"Dadda"

"Say Faith."

"Fish."

Faith sighed and put her head in her hands.

"Lily! Your kid still can't say my name." Faith hollered into the next room.

"Probably James's doing. Ask him to say Sirius." Lily said fixing an earring into her ear.

"Harry." Faith said trying to get Harry's attention who was distracted by a set of keys on the floor.

"Say Sirius." She said once he looked at her.

"Arse." Harry said clapping his hands happily. Faith threw her head back laughing and Lily frowned.

"I thought it was charming too." Lily said sarcastically.

"Harry!" a voice called out. Harry stopped and looked behind him. Faith was waving at him and held something in her hands.

"Whats that she has?" Neville asked standing next to her.

"Looks like a book." Ron put in. Faith waved them over and they walked over to her.

"I wanna show you something." She said with the same goofy grin that she'd had plastered to her face for the past week. She sat on the stairs and they followed. Harry sat on her right and Ron on her left. Neville sat on the step behind her.

They looked at the cover of the book. It was thick and had a thick black cover. On it was the Hogwarts symbols and across it read "Memories" silver writing.

"Now, I don't know if you knew this but every year the seventh years get a book with the memories of their Hogwarts years. It has pictures from their 1st year up to the 7th. There is also a section in the back where the students can put their own pictures." Faith explained. She opened the book. The first page was black and had in silver writing 'The Memories that Bind us together.'.

The following page had in large yellow letters 'Huffelpuff' at the top, next to it was a picture of the Huffelpuff symbol. Underneath were pictures of every 7th year from that year. The next page was the same students but in their 6th year, and onwards it went till their 1st year. Next was the Ravenclaws. Faith quickly flipped through those.

"Look there is Snape." Ron said when they reached Slytherin.

"Was he always that mean looking?" Neville asked. Faith didn't respond, she flipped to the Slytherin first year page.

"Yup." Harry said laughing.

"Look. There's Faith." Ron said. The group peered at the picture.

"This is Alice. She was sooo nice. No one ever heard her say a mean thing about anyone." Faith said pointing to a girl with chestnut brown hair and a young face.

"There is Sirius. Every girl was in love with him. He got more detention in our 7th year than any other year." Faith said pointing to Sirius's picture. Sirius gave his same charming smile, and then disappeared.

"There is Sarah..er..Professor Lupin. When I first met her she rarely spoke…she was pretty sharp minded though when it came to her hexes. " Sarah smiled widely and her blue eyes sparkled. She then turned and waved.

"There is Lily. Pretty much the smartest girl in the whole school. She was a sweetheart too but if she didn't like you she let you know it." Faith said pointing to Lily's picture. Her fire red hair was tied back and a few strands fell in her face. Lily was waving back at Sarah.

"And Frank. Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He was a force to be reckoned with."

"There is the other Professor Lupin. He was the most rational out of the group. He was always studying."

"James, he got detention a lot too…he was quite the quidditch player. A very good chaser and very popular." James was smiling and leaning against the edge of his photo. Occasionally he'd reach up a hand and ruffle his hair. Harry noticed that Faith passed over Peter Pettigrew.

"And of course yours truly." Faith said pointing. Faith smiled and ran a hand through her hair. Suddenly someone joined her in the picture. It was Sirius and Faith ruffled up his hair.

"Pictures from our Halloween Dance." Faith said flipping to a page that said 'Halloween, Hogwarts' At the top. Faith smiled at the pictures of people dancing and having fun. A picture of Sirius, her, James, Lily, Sarah, and Remus crowding around a table brought the biggest smile to her face.

"I thought I'd let you see it. Thought it might be interesting." Faith said setting the book down on the steps. She then got up and left the boys to look at the smiling faces.

Sarah sat at the teachers table. Even though the feast wasn't supposed to start for another 45 minutes, students were already piled in. They were mostly saying good bye and the seventh years were busy getting their friends to sign their Memory books. The graduation ceremony had been a few hours before, but a few seventh years always stayed behind to get their friends from lower classes to sign their books.

"Hey!" A booming voice shouted into Sarah's ear. Sarah gave a startled jump.

"Sirius. You scared the daylights out of me." She said smiling and clutching her chest.

"Bet the baby enjoyed it." He smiled. Sarah smiled and touched her stomach which had grown quite large. The baby was due in another 2 months or so.

"Do you know where Faith is?" He asked taking the seat next to her.

"No. She's bound to show up soon though." Sarah said, Sirius nodded and tapped his feet anxiously.

"Excited to get married?" Sarah asked.

"Hell yes." Sirius said loudly with a large smile planted on his face.

"Bout time too. It's been like 20 years since you two started going out in our 6th year." Sarah said smiling.

"I know…its been so long." Sirius said with his mind wandering and his smile growing ever wider.

"Thought of a name yet for the baby?" He asked.

"We were thinking of Catherine if it is a girl.. After Remus's mother. She died trying to save him from the werewolf you know."

"Yeah. I think Catherine would be nice."

"And maybe Frank for a boy." She said.

"I like Frank." Sirius said remembering Frank Longbottom and how much he had helped Remus and Sarah when they had first started out.

"Does Harry know that Faith is his godmother?" Sarah asked after a minute of silence between the two.

"Not yet. We've decided that we are gonna let him stay with his lovely aunt and uncle for a short while. We wanna get things setteled at home first." He said still tapping his foot. He put his chin in his hand and put his elbow on his knee causing his whole body to bounce with his foot tapping. He stopped when he spotted Faith walk in through the Great Hall doors. He met her eyes and smiled as he stood up.

"Lily everything will be fine." Faith said pushing Lily out the door.

"Are you sure?" She asked adjusting her purse.

"Sirius and Faith are great babysitters. They will be fine." James said putting his hand on hsi wife's shoulder.

"You two deserve a night to yourselves. Your son is one year old. Go and celebrate the way grown ups do." Sirius said bouncing Harry on his knee. With much fighting the two finally left.

"Lets see if we can get him to say our correct names." Faith said laughingly as she joined Sirius over on the couch with Harry.

Faith cleaned up the last of the large mess Harry and Sirius had made in the kitchen. Sirius had thought it would be a good idea to make cookies the old fashioned way. He let Harry be in charge of flour. Never let a 1 year and 10 day old baby handle flour. Sirius of course had gotten egg everywhere. It had been quite amusing and Faith had spent the entire time on the floor laughing...until Sirius turned on the sink and grabbed the small hose type thing that was attatched...

Faith sighed and threw her rag over her shoulder. Flour still dusted her hair and the carpet was slightly wet. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair as she came into the living room. Sirius lay on the couch. He was sleeping and Harry was fast asleep on his chest. Faith smiled at the sight. She gingerly picked Harry up. Sirius's eyes fluttered open and he gave her a sleepy smile.

With Harry's head nestled on her shoulder, Faith carried him into his room. She set him down in his crib and pulled a baby blue blanket over him. An arm went around Faith's shoulders. Sirius smiled down at the sleeping Harry.

"I want 12 just like him." He said kissing Faith on the forehead.

"You will only be with your aunt and uncle for a short while." Faith said helping Harry put his stuff onto the Hogwarts Express.

"Define a short while." He said.

"Not a long time." Sirius said with a sly smile. Harry sighed and boarded the train. He watched from his window as the train pulled away from the station. He watched as Sirius, Faith, Remus and Sarah waved back at him and became more and more distant as the train moved faster and faster.

"Don't worry Harry. At the most you'll be with the Dursleys for a week." Hermione said.

"A week to long." He grumbled.

"This room is a mess." Remus said levitating a sack of trash out into the hall.

"When was the last time you where in this room?" Sarah asked waving her hand around to see past all the dust.

"My 7th year at Hogwarts." Remus said making a face as he moved the bed into the hall.

"Its cute that your old bedroom will get to be the baby's room." Sarah said smiling.

"Yeah…what color should it be?" Remus asked as he moved the last of the furniture and trash out into the hall.

"Well…I think…white or yellow might be cute." Sarah said waving her wand. Two brooms that lay still began to get up and dust away the dust that covered the room. Remus waved his wand and a scrub brush and a bucket of water began to scrub down the room where the broom had already swept.

Vernon picked Harry up at Kings Cross Station as the Hogwarts Express arrived at noon.

"I don't want any weirdness out of you tonight." Vernon said once Harry was in the car. Harry opened his mouth to come back with a snappy comment when he noticed how everyone was dressed. Petunia had put on a very ugly looking dress that had frills on the collar and sleeves. The design on it looked like some of the wallpaper from Ms. Figgs house. Smelled like it too. Dudley had tried to squeeze into a tuxedo. The buttons on it looked like they were going to pop off at any moment. His hair had been combed back and covered with thick amounts of gel, which caused it to shine brightly. Vernon looked exactly like Dudley except older and beefier.

"Where are we going?" Harry asked.

"Well if you must know. Your uncle has been invited to the President of Grunnings house for dinner. Vernon's boss has heard great things about your uncle, invited Vernon to bring the entire family. Has also heard that our nephew is very well behaved and attending St.Brutis's School. It just so happens that Vernon's boss has a nephew who attends the school and would like to see how well behaved you are. Isn't that right dear?" Petunia said sweetly. Vernon nodded smugly. Petunia obviously didn't mind telling anyone with ears about their important dinner with the President of Grunnings.

"What do you think? White or Yellow?" Sarah asked Remus.

"I like yellow." Remus said smiling.

"Me too. Sirius what do you like?" Sarah asked sweetly.

"I want to know why I have to paint the room. Magic would be SOO much ea

sier." Sirius said groaning.

"Because. Faith requested we put you to work for a bit. Think how cute you'll look all covered in paint." Sarah said teasingly and pinched Sirius's cheeks.

"Hardy Har har." He said rolling his eyes.

"Heres the paint. Have fun." Sarah said with a cute grin and left the room. Sirius whipped out his wand and blasted the lid off the paint can. Yellow paint splattered all over his front.

"Remember. Best behavior." Vernon said stopping outside a iron gate. The gate opened slowly and along twisited road was ahead. He drove along the road and then stopped in the driveway of the house. The house sat on a sandy beach next to a clear ocean. Harry got out of the car and admired the house. It was white wood white tall windows and a wrap around porch. The house was every inch beautiful.

"Well it looks nice on the outside, but it's the inside that counts." Petunia said, jealously dripping from her words.

"You must be the Dursleys." A voice called from the porch as the others stopped to admire the ocean as the sun set. Harry's eyes were fixed on the ocean and he never looked away until Petunia gasped andstarted to make the oddest noises….
