12 Years later
I had grown up never knowing the truth about my parents. The Dursley's had told me that they had been killed in a car wreck and that's how I had gotten the scar on my forehead. Then one day I received a letter from Hogwarts excepting me into the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Uncle Vernon didn't want me to go; Aunt Petunia didn't want me going either. In the end I won out because Hagrid came after me to take me to Diagon Alley to gather my supplies for the beginning of term. School started on the first of September; Hagrid had also told me that it was like a boarding school witch meant no Dursley's for a whole school year. I am now in my third year of Hogwarts. It was an exciting train ride to Hogwarts to say the least. I had been attacked by a Dementor and had passed out. I woke to see the man gone and the woman who was sitting with him, well; I had my head in her lap on the floor.
/. Narrator's P.O.V.
Harry looked around the compartment and saw Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Neville. He looked up to see the blonde woman who had been sitting beside the man. He started sit up when the compartment door swung open to reveal the man.
"Ah. Good, you're alright aren't you Harry?"
"He's fine Remus. Come on Harry."
"How do you know his name?"
"I'm your new Professor, I'll be teaching your DADA class this year. My name is Remus Lupin, you'll will have to call me Professor Lupin; not by my choice of course. This is my wife, Serena."
"I haven't see you since you were a baby Harry."
"We went to school with your parents. You look just like your father."
"He has his mother's eyes though. I expect you to be extremely careful with Sirius on the loose."
"Of course."
The compartment door swung open to reveal a fair-haired blue-eyed boy about Harry's age. His eyes locked onto Harry who had just gotten onto one of the seats.
"Heard you fainted Potter."
"Malfoy, this is our new DADA Teacher."
"Nice. We'll continue this chat latter Potter."
He exited the room quite quickly; with his two cronies following closely behind him. All the students wore smirks on their faces.
"Who was that boy?" Remus asked the question sensing Serena wanting to ask them.
"Draco Malfoy. He's in Slytherin." Harry stated bluntly.
"The rottenness Slytherin of them all." The black haired boy whispered.
"He's on the Quidditch team for Slytherin; he's their seeker." The boy with flaming red hair said wit disgust.
"Harry is a much better seeker than him. He's the seeker for Gryffindor." The girl with bushy brown hair smiled at Harry.
"Why don't you tell us all your names?"
"I'm Hermione Granger." The girl with bushy hair said.
"I'm Ron Weasley and this is my baby sister Ginny." The flaming red haired boy said pulling her into a hug.
"I'm Neville Longbottom. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"We should be arriving at Hogwarts in ten minutes."
"I'll see you around school. Come on Serena."
"Goodbye. It was a pleasure to meet you."
/. Front of the Train.
"Did you see him Remus?"
"Yes."
"He looks just like Lucius."
"He only has his hair color. He has your eyes and the same smirk you give me all the time when you're right about something. Let's just worry about getting settled in."
"Okay. I'm going to find Severus when we get there and catch up on what I've missed."
"Don't dwell on the past, you know how the Dementors are."
"I know. Can you believe he actually escaped from Azkaban?"
"No, leave it to your brother though."
"What exactly does that mean?"
"He'll find a way to get back to you and get whatever he's after."
"Yeah. You think Harry knows the truth about Sirius?"
"Sure he does, how could he not know that Sirius killed his parents."
"I'm telling you that isn't the truth!"
"We'll talk about this in our room. Look, the same as last time we saw it when we went to school here. I love you Serena."
"I love you too Remus."
They shared a chaste kiss and exited the train. A man with a white beard and a woman wearing emerald robes stood outside the train waiting for them. Serena threw herself into the man's arms and hugged him tightly. He returned her hug. She shook hands with the women while Remus shook hands with the man and then he shook hands with the woman.
"Come Serena, Remus. I'll show you to your room. McGonagall has to sort the first years."
"Okay Professor Dumbledore."
"You can call me Albus now dear."
"It feels too weird to call you that."
"If it makes you feel more comfortable then you can call me that."
"So how's Harry been doing so far?"
"He's had two encounters with Voldermort."
"What?" Remus almost dropped the luggage.
"Are you sure Professor?" Serena gasped.
"Yes. His first year he was searching for the Sorcerer's Stone and had an encounter wit Voldermort when Voldermort was looking for it; last year everyone thought that Harry was the heir of Slytherin and had to fight a memory that Tom had left behind. He wound up fighting the Basilisk and helped out Ginny Weasley. Ah, here is your room."
"Thank you Albus."
"You're quite welcome. Just come to the Great Hall when you get done settling in."
They unpacked their clothes and made their made. Serena plopped down on the bed and stretched. Closing her eyes she began to think what could happen this year. She felt the bed sink and opened her eyes. She saw Remus sitting beside her looking at her with the happiest smile that she had seen on his handsome in eleven years. She leaned up on her elbow and looked at him.
"What?"
"Just thinking about how beautiful you are."
"Thank you Remus. You look really handsome with that nice big smile on your face. If I'm not mistaken that's the same smile that was on your face when I told you I was pregnant with your child."
"It is? Oh well, we should probably head towards the Great Hall."
"Yeah. Remus, do you still want another child?"
"If you do."
"Ok. I'll talk to Severus about making you that potion, ok?"
"Sure."
When they entered the Great Hall it was still quit empty except for some teachers. Serena skipped up to the table and taped a man with greasy black hair on his shoulder. He turned around to see Serena with a large smile on her face.
"Hi Severus! It's been a long time hasn't it?"
"Yes, it has. Lupin."
"Snape."
"Don't get to friendly you two or the world will explode!" Serena was up to being sarcastic again.
"Nice to see you again. How is that child of yours?"
"He's fine. I have a question for you Severus."
"Lucius was quit angry when he heard you had a child of your own. The look on his face was quit priceless; especially when he heard you and Lupin would be here."
"Severus?"
"Yes Serena?"
"Can you make a potion for me?"
"For you or for Lupin?"
"Well, more the sanity of my mind and for Remus. Will you, please?"
"Why not, it will give me some practice for this year. Every full moon, correct?"
"Yes. Thank you Severus."
"Here come the students. We should probably take our seats. Stop by my office later, I have some thing to tell you."
"Okay."
The sorting went by and all the students were anxious to eat. Dumbledore gave his beginning of term speech. Food appeared on the table and the students dug in and hate hungrily; some more than others. Serena giggled as Severus began to tell her things that had happened the past two years involving Harry. The meal carried on.
Harry sat at the Gryffindor table occasionally glancing up at the teacher's table. A certain blonde would catch his eye. She looked so happy and carefree. Her smile was beautiful. He couldn't remember where he had seen her before but her knew he had seen her. Ron poked Harry to get his attention. He turned quickly to look at Ron and Hermione, who giggling at the look on Harry's face.
"You spaced out there for a minute Harry; are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"She's too old for you Harry."
"I wasn't looking at her like that Fred."
"She's not much older than us though Fred."
"Really?" Hermione asked with a bit of amusement in her voice.
"Yeah Hermione."
"I mean look at her, she's so young."
"I know where I've seen her guys!"
"Where Harry?" Ron looked up from his food; mouth full.
"In the photo album of my mum and dad that Hagrid gave me. She's standing beside my mom holding me. They were here at the school, during her graduation. I'll show you guys later."
"Are serious?" Ron still had food in his mouth.
"Yeah."
"Blimey!" Fred all but screamed.
"She can't be that old, can she?" George slapped his forehead.
"Do you know her maiden name? We could find out what she did when she was a student here at Hogwarts. This is so exciting!"
"I just met her today 'Mione. How could I possibly know more about her than you do?"
"I was just saying maybe we could find out; you know?"
"Yeah, I might not have to live with the Dursleys anymore."
"Wicked." The twins breathed together.
Dumbledore stood from his seat and quieted the hall. He raised his hands and looked out at the vast sea of students. All eyes were upon the head table.
"Good, now, as you can see you have two new faces here at Hogwarts. They were both once students here. Professor Lupin will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts. He and his wife, Serena, will be living here with us this year. I expect the utmost respect out of all of you." He sent a look towards the Slytherin table and at the Weasley twins. "Now, off to bed. You have a full exciting first day of term. Good night."
With that the gold plates vanished the students began to exit the Great Hall. Serena watched for a signal from the rest of the teachers as what to do. Severus placed a hand on her shoulder; she looked up at him with a soft smile. She turned to Remus and whispered softly into his ear that she would meet him their room after she had talked to Severus. The pair exited the Great Hall and made their way to the dungeons where his office was located. The walked in silence all the way to his office and entered. He motioned for her to sit. She sat down on top of his desk while he was seated behind the desk.
"I just thought you might like to meet Draco; I've arranged for him to come here."
"Oh." She slid off the desk into a standing position beside Severus; to make it look like they were discussing something.
"I take it he's in Slytherin."
"Just like his father. He's the seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team, just like his mother. They're planning on making him the captain when he's old enough. Lucius is pushing him to become a death eater."
"I don't want to hear that Severus."
"I know you don't Serena. I was just thinking that if his suspicions are confirmed he might not choose to be a death eater."
"What suspicions are you talking about?"
"He doesn't believe Narcissa is his mother. He told me in private that he remembered a woman holding him in a big white dress when he was a baby. He described her to me; blonde hair and his color blue eyes with a very pretty smile."
"Severus does that mean . . ."
"That he's remembering you? Most likely, yes."
There was a hard knock upon the door.
"Come in."
A boy with very light blonde hair walked in, his eyes were so blue. Tears stung the back of Serena's eyes. She pushed them back as to not draw attention to herself.
"Draco, nice to see you again. This is Serena Lupin; she went to school with your father and I. She was the Slytherin Captain and seeker, she was also a Prefect and once the head girl."
"Hello."
"Hello Draco."
He kissed the back of her hand. 'What the hell was that?' Draco thought inwardly. He sat down in the chair adjacent to Severus.
"What is it you wanted to speak to me about Professor Snape?"
"Do you remember the dreams you told me about last year?"
"Yes."
"Have they continued?"
"Yes. Why do you want to know?"
"I know who your mother is."
"My real mother?" His eyes grew large with excitement.
"Yes Draco. It isn't the right time though, I'll tell you later on."
"I'm here right now! Why can't you tell me?"
"Because the time is not right, now back to the Slytherin dorms. I expect to see you in Potions class in the morning."
"Yes Professor. Good night Professor, Mrs. Lupin."
"You can call me Serena, Draco."
"Alright Mrs. Serena. Good night."
Serena left right after Draco had exited Severus' office. They discussed when they would give Lupin the potion. She walked to her room quietly in thought. She opened the door and found Remus already in bed waiting on her. She shut the door and changed into her pajamas and crawled under the covers. Remus wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she snuggled into his embrace.
"What did Snape want?"
"Draco has been having dreams."
"Doesn't everyone?"
"Not dreams about our wedding when I held him. He doubts that Narcissa is even his mother. He tells Severus everything. Draco doesn't even know that Severus is his godfather."
"I guess it's a good thing that he should know the truth. Let's go to sleep."
