I don't own Harry Potter; you know that, lol. This as well as the first Six chapters were typed out post-HBP, so this and following chapters my intentionally or unintentionally post spoilers--though nothing that'll ruin too much of the plot of HBP. Please R&R. Oh and C.E. I'm sorry for any spelling errors; they are entirely type-o oriented, lol, and not my fault at all. Oh, and could you post who you think the DADA teacher is, so I can make sure I'm giving off the right impression? Thanks.
And those who noticed the HBP quote and/or the Tom Cruiz moment was
No one.

Chapter Seven

Pre-Break

A/N: Hector (Hector Dagworth-Granger founded the Most Extraordinary Society of Potioneers) is found in The Half-Blood Prince

"James, will you please…" Dumbledore said, calmly, smiling.

"One second, Professor." James said. He turned to Snape, smiling even broader. He laughed. "Ha! In your face! Told you she'd date me over you, Snivel."

"That's enough, James." Dumbledore said chuckling.

James listened this time. He sat back down, still smiling.

"Now, I trust that Miss. Granger and Mr. Weasly have already discovered you're not Harry?" Dumbledore asked, suddenly looking less worn, as if seeing James brought back his energy.

"Ron's a Weasly? Well it does make since. He figured it out before Hermione. Wait, did you say Granger? She Hectors?" James asked.

"She's Muggle-born." Dumbledore answered. "James, try not to draw attention to yourself. They will remember you were here and Harry'll have to live with that."

"Got it, Professor. See you, Snivellus." James said. He got up and left without being excused.

He reached the hallway and found Ron and Hermione waiting for him.

"Herm told me what you did. Putting old Snape in his place? You're exactly what Dad said you were." Ron said. They each others slapped hands. Ron realized what he'd just said.

"It's ok. Dumbledore told me." James smiled.

They started for the Defense against Dark Arts room.

"He told you?" Hermione asked shocked.

"Yeah, he said I'd forget most of this and whatever I don't I'll think is just part of some weird dream." James said.

Ron laughed and Hermione shook her head as they reached the class room.

"So who's your teacher?" James asked as they walked in.

"My brother." Ron said, angry. He glared at the front of the room.

James followed his glare and saw a thin red headed boy at the front of the room flipping through a book: Winged Unicorns? The boy looked like he hadn't been out of school for more than a few years.

"Bet we have loads of homework we have to do over break." Ron whispered as they sat down.

"Well we leave tomorrow." Hermione pointed out.

"Girls!" Sirius snapped as they walked to the Common room. They stopped.

"She'll get over it, by the end of the holiday at least." Remus said trying to cheer him up.

Sirius turned to Harry. "Maybe I shouldn't spend it with you. I mean wouldn't that just make her more mad? To have to see me everyday for three weeks?"

Harry knew he couldn't handle his grandparents by himself. I have to tell Sirius, he's probably already figured it out. I bet Ron and Hermione have. Harry thought.

"You're coming." Harry practically ordered. "She'll deal with it." Harry knew how much he'd hated the thought of being at Hogwarts alone during the holidays and he knew Sirius would be here.

"Regulus said that my parents are starting to come around." Sirius said. Harry could tell he was lying.

"Don't lie to us mate." Remus said, he'd noticed it too.

"What I say?" A boy asked coming up to them. He looked like Sirius. The same dark hair, the same unearthly skin color and the way they stood; cocky, like they owned wherever they were, the only differences were their heights and their eyes: Sirius' looked tiered but happy but the boy's were starting to look like Draco Malfoy's, dark and angry.

"Nothing." Sirius snapped.

"Touchy. What happen? Did that Potter girl break up with you? Mum and Dad were thinking you were coming around, dating a pureblood and all." Regulus explained.

"Shut up!" Sirius snapped at him.

"Hey Regulus." Jane smiled at him as she walked by.

"Hey Jane. So it is true that you and Sirius broke up?" He asked her.

"Yeah. Want to go to Hogsmade with me after break?" Jane asked him. Harry could tell she was watching Sirius' reaction.

"Sure. Valentine's Day?" He asked.

Jane smiled and nodded.

Harry looked at Sirius and could tell he was mad. His eyes looked exactly like his brother's.

"You little--!" Sirius lunged at his brother ready to hit him. Remus and Harry stopped him. Harry looked at Jane, who was smiling.

"Sirius! He's not worth expulsion!" Remus reminded him.

"We're family." Sirius said.

"Your off the tapestry, we're not family anymore." Regulus smirked.

"Low." Jane said disgusted.

"Truth." Regulus said.

"You know, now that I think about it I'd rather go out with the squid than a blood traitor." Jane snapped. She turned on her heel and went to the common room.

Sirius pulled himself free from Harry and Remus' grip. "Ha! She's not stupid enough to fall for you! Just go back to the Slytherin girls, that'll make Mum and Dad happy." He spat at his little brother. Regulus didn't say anything, he turned and headed down toward the great hall.

"I hate him." Remus muttered as he started for the Common room again.

"Who doesn't hate him?" Sirius said following him.

I have to tell Sirius, he's probably already figured it out. I bet Ron and Hermione have.

Now's as good as ever. Harry thought. "Sirius, can I talk to you?" Harry called. Sirius stopped and looked at him.

"What's going on?" Sirius asked coming back to him.

"Your not going to believe this--" Harry started.

"What's wrong, James?" Sirius asked suddenly serious, like he will be with the Order.

"I'm not James." Harry whispered.

"What? Are you changing your name or something?" Sirius asked.

"No, I'm Harry Potter."
