Sirius sat in the dining room with his head in his hands, wanting to cry but not being able to. Lord Voldemort had killed his childhood crush and brand- new girlfriend, Samantha Terrance, the night before. Sirius had fainted when he heard that, and he still couldn't get used to the idea that he would never see her smile, hear her laugh or voice ever again. He heard a thump upstairs, but he thought that it was just Buckbeak again, so he payed no attention to it. Then he heard claws coming down the stairs. He looked up and saw a huge black dog, a disgruntled looking tabby cat, a German Shepard, and a mastiff. The German Shepard cocked its head and studied Sirius. Sirius stood slowly and took out his wand. The German Shepard growled just as Harry and Ron walked in, talking and joking. They heard the growl, whipped out their wands, and shouted, "EXPELLIARMOUS!" at the same time.

The German Shepard flew back, changing shapes as it went. As it hit the wall, it changed into a young girl. She had thick, curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. She was average height, and she was slim. She wore Gryffindor robes, and she also wore an expression of fear on her face. Her FAMILIAR face. Sirius could not believe it. He was looking at his childhood friend and crush, the girl who had just been murdered last night: Samantha Terrance. Ron and Harry were still pointing their wands at her, but Harry had a strange look in his eyes, as if he didn't want to be doing this. Sirius would've recognized the look had he not been staring at Samantha.

"S-Sam?" he stuttered.

Her head darted to him.

"Who are you?" she asked nervously. "And where are we?"

"'We?'" Ron asked.

She nodded and snapped her fingers. The black dog turned into a (A/N: no duh) younger Sirius. The mastiff turned into a younger Remus, and the disgruntled tabby turned into (Sirius stifled a bark-like laugh) a younger James Potter. Harry stared at his father and James stared at his son.

"Where are we?" Samantha asked again, this time with a bite of annoyance in her voice.

"Number 12, Grimmauld Place," Harry muttered, turning his gaze to her. She blinked twice, looked at him, looked at James, and then looked at Harry again.

"What is going on?" she asked, her voice shaking gently. The younger Sirius rushed over to her and put his arm around her.

"It's alright, Sam," he murmured gently.

"I'm confused," James said suddenly. "One minute we're about to turn Sinvellus's hair Gryffindor colors, complete with a Permanent Sticking Charm, and the next second we're in the same room as a smelly Hippogriff."

"Buckbeak's not smelly!" Harry said indignantly. Sam nodded slightly. She detached herself from Sirius's arms and changed into a hippogriff that looked exactly like Buckbeak. She changed back into her human form and just barely grinned at James.

"Was that a smelly form?" she asked.

He shook his head, admitting defeat. Her grin grew. The older Sirius rolled his eyes. He now remembered that Sam was able to get on James's nerves more than anyone else. Harry snorted at the look on his fathers face, a mixture of disgruntle and annoyance. Sam burst out laughing and fell onto Sirius. They fell to the ground, entangled, Sam still screaming with laughter, just as someone walked in.

"Err… am I interrupting anything?" the person asked uncertainly.
