December 18th 1993

It has been about an hour since Harry and Hermione left the Three Broomsticks and the two of them are nearing the end of the tunnel.

"Hold on." Hermione says as they reach the steps as she pulls out the map, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Hermione says, tapping it with her wand.

"Have we got the all clear?" Harry asks as he looks over her shoulder.

"Yes, all the way to the common room." Hermione reveals, "Mischief managed." Hermione says tapping the map one more and folding it up, and offering it to Harry.

"You should hold on to it." Harry tells her, "Technically it's more yours than mine." He says as two of Hermione's parents made it while only one of his did.

"It's both of ours." Hermione tells him.

"I have the cloak; you should hold onto the map." Harry explains.

"Okay. if you need it, let me know." Hermione says and she puts the map in her pocket, "After you." She says and Harry climbs out.


A few minutes later Harry and Hermione walk into the Common Room where Ron and Neville are waiting by their favourite seats.

"Oh good, you didn't get caught." Neville says, sounding relieved.

"We had luck on our side." Harry admits as they sit down.

"How are you so okay with what we head?" Ron asks, sounding completely confused.

"Hermione told me two years ago." Harry reveals "I've had time to think, time to digest, to come to terms with a few things." He explains, being glad that he found out the way he did then as he isn't sure how he would have handled hearing that for the first time like that.

"What did you mean when you said everything is more complicated?" Ron asks, not understanding how it would be.

"Let's just say that there are things going on that we don't even understand. Things that don't make sense with what everyone believes to be the truth." Hermione explains.

"You think that he didn't do those things." Neville realises, looking at Hermione, being able to tell that as he knows her so well, and he isn't sure how he feels about that.

"That's just the thing, I don't know what to think." Hermione admits.

"I never thought you would be that stupid, Hermione." Ron says to everyone's surprise, "Your Dad killed people! He blew up a street! The biggest part of Pettigrew they found when he was done with him was a finger! And you just heard he betrayed Harry's parents! He was their secret keeper." Ron says, his voice a quite whisper.

"I don't need to be reminded of what happened, Ronald." Hermione says, sounding angry, "I've spent every day since Papa told me thinking about it. I've replayed all the details in my head tried to make sense of it, I even managed to get my hands on the photos, so I don't need you to remind me of that." Hermione says pain in her voice, "I'm not saying that my Dad is innocent, I'm saying that there are gaps in the story. Dad had no trial, and no one saw the Fidelius Charm being cast." Hermione explains.

"Hermione and I want the truth, the completely truth, because what Fudge just said isn't the whole story and we both deserve that." Harry explains, to the complete shock of Ron and Neville.

"Please don't say that you're going to go looking for him." Neville says worriedly, looking between them.

"Of course not." Harry says.

"No." Hermione says, neither sure whether they are lying or not, but before the others can question them Fred and George let of dungbombs, putting an end to the conversation.


Hours later Hermione is lying in her bed thinking about everything that she learnt.

"Why wouldn't the Dementors affect him?" Hermione asks herself, keeping her voice too quiet for anyone to hear, "No, that's not what I should be thinking about." Hermione realises, "The paper, that's the only odd detail." Hermione realises, "There had to have been something in their he saw, something that no one else realised, something he felt he had to protect me from." She realises, "The paper's the key, I need to get to get that paper." Hermione realises, and once she comes to that realisation Hermione starts to think of the steps that she needs to take to get that paper.


December 25th 1993

It has been a week since Harry and Hermione snuck into Hogsmeade and ever since then Hermione has been trying to determine when Fudge visited Azkaban so that she can figure out what paper to get, and Harry, Ron and Hermione have been spending their holidays trying to find something to help Hagrid with Buckbeak, Neville on the other hand has gone home for the holidays.

It is Christmas morning and Hermione has opened all her presents except for one, a small box-shaped wrapped in brown paper.

"Dad." Hermione realises, there being no questioning in her mind, picking up the box, as she picks it up Hermione debates what to do and then she rips open the paper, revealing the box. Taking a deep breath Hermione opens the box and inside she finds what looks to be either platinum, or goblin made silver locket, on the front of the locket there is a moon and star above a H, all made out of diamonds. Hermione is just about to reach out and touch the locket when logic catches up with her and Hermione just puts the lid on the box and puts it in her pocket.

"Let's go see how those boys are doing." Hermione says to Crookshanks before she picks him up and heads to the boys dorm, arriving to find them both laughing.

"What're you two laughing about?" Hermione asks as she walks in.

"Don't bring him in here." Ron says as he hurriedly snatches Scabbers from the depths of his bed and stows him in his Pyjama pocket.

As he does Hermione, puts Crookshanks down on one of the empty beds and sees what is sitting on Harry's bed, looking like it was wrapped in the same brown paper as Hermione's locket.

"Oh, Harry! Who sent you that?" Hermione asks as even though she doesn't have any doubts she knows that she has to pretend not to know.

"No idea." Harry says, "There wasn't a card or anything with it." He admits and Hermione can't help but from as even though everything tells her that it is Sirius who sent it that doesn't mean it's completely safe.

"What's the matter with you?" Ron asks.

"More puzzle pieces." Hermione says to the confusion of Ron, though Harry understands exactly what she is saying.

"Harry, can I have a ride?" Ron asks, interested.

"I don't think that is a good idea." Hermione says but before Ron can question Hermione Crookshanks springs from her place on Seamus's bed, right at Ron's chest.

"GET-HIM-OUT-OF-HERE." Ron yells as Crookshank's claws rip his pyjamas and Scabbers attempts a wild escape over Ron's shoulder. Seeing that Ron seizes Scabbers by his tail and aims a misjudged kick at Crookshanks that instead hits the trunk at the end of Harry's bed, knocking it over and causing Ron to jump up and down, howling with pain.

As Ron jumps up and down Scabbers slips through his fingers, causing Harry to dive to try and catch the rat even though Harry misses the rat he notices that he is thinner and is missing fur, and as the rat runs Ron chases after Scabbers, who has Crookshanks chasing after him, leaving Harry and Hermione alone in the dorm.

"You think your Dad sent this." Harry realises.

"Considered I also got something wrapped in brown paper, I'm going to say yes." Hermione confirms.

"What you get?" Harry asks and Hermione pulls the box out of her pocket and shows him it, "Wow, that's….." he starts to say as he reaches over to the necklace.

"Don't." Hermione says, "I haven't been able to test if it's been altered in anyway. I know what I need to check for but I'm going to have to ask Papa too." Hermione explains, "Harry, I want to believe Dad won't do anything to hurt you, but I can't, not yet. So, I think it would be best if I went to Minerva and asked her to check it."

"Minerva? Why not Remus?" Harry asks confused.

"The Wolfsbane potion does so many good things for Papa, but it also makes him really sick. He won't be able to do something like check the broom until a few days after the full moon. Can you honestly say that you'll be able to resist riding it for that long? Could Ron?" Hermione asks, and Harry avoids looking at Hermione, making it clear that she is right, "Look, I'll be the bad one, I'll go to Minerva and you can be pissed at me with Ron."

"You're pretty amazing you know that?" Harry asks and Hermione gives a half smile and Harry pulls her into a hug, "I really love you, you know that?" he whispers to her.

"Yeah, I do, because I really love you too." Hermione responds, as they break apart, "I better go find Crookshanks."

"Yeah, good luck with that." Harry says with a smile and Hermione heads out of the room.


Hours later Hermione is proven to be correct when Ron takes Hermione going to McGonagall, who confiscates the broom and makes it clear that it's going to be stripped down, very badly, so much so that Harry is pretty sure Ron isn't going to forgive Hermione, even though Harry isn't overly sure that Ron has a reason to be upset.

It is about ten pm and Harry is sneaking down to the common room with his cloak where he unsurprisingly finds Hermione waiting.

"You ready?" Harry asks when he sees her.

"Yeah. I figure we should do this without the map so Papa doesn't see it." Hermione explains.

"Sounds good." Harry says with a nod and he throws the cloak around them both.


A few minutes later Harry and Hermione walk into Remus's rooms, and just as they were expecting they find the table covered in food.

"Looks like Albus was able to arrange what we asked." Hermione realises.

"We both know he would be able to." Harry says with a smile.

"I'll go wake him up." Hermione says, walking into Remus's bedroom.

Even though it is still a few days until the full moon Remus looks pretty sick, he is pale and clammy, looking far from okay.

"Papa, wake up." Hermione says, shaking his shoulder.

"Hermione, what?" Remus asks confused.

"Harry and I are here. It's Christmas, we should spend at least a little time together." Hermione explains.

"Okay, I'll be right out." Remus says, forcing a smile and he gets up and the two of them get up and head out of the room, Remus looking very week.

"Remus…" Harry says, sounding worried when he sees how his guardian looks.

"I'm okay, Harry." Remus assures him, "With what the Wolfsbane potion does for me I'll be happy to experience any side effects." Remus admits as he makes his way over to the couch and sits down, "Happy Christmas, Harry, Hermione." Remus says, smiling at the pair of them.

"Happy Christmas, Remus."

"Happy Christmas, Papa."

The two say.

"So, how has your Christmas been? Did you get good presents?" Remus asks curious and as he does Harry and Hermione exchange looks, something that Remus immediately notices, "Hermione, Harry, what is it?" he asks worried.

"We think Dad sent us presents." Hermione admits.

"What?" Remus asks.

"A Firebolt." Harry says.

"And this." Hermione says as she pulls out the box and hands it to her father, "I haven't touched it." She admits, as Remus opens the box, and when he does, he gasps.

"Papa?"

"Remus?"

"What is it?" Hermione asks, sounding confused.

"I haven't seen this for a very long time." Remus admits, staring at the locket before looking up at his daughter, a look of amazement on his face, "Your Dad had this made when I was pregnant with you. He was going to give it to you on the day you got your Hogwarts letter." Remus explains, "He said that I was the moon, he was the star and that no matter what if you'd look up you'd find us, we'd always be looking out for you, always be together." He explains, his voice breaking for a second, "I have no idea how he would have gotten it." Remus admits, being amazed that Sirius would have found a way to get it.

"Wow." Hermione says, sounding amazed, "Do you think he might have done something to it? Like a Portkey?"

"I'll don't know." Remus admits, "I'll check it though." He says and Hermione nods, "Harry, you said you got a firebolt?"

"Yeah, like Hermione's gift I was wrapped in brown paper, there was no note or anything." Harry explains.

"A Firebolt, of course." Remus mutters, not at all surprised that Sirius brought Harry the most expensive broom possible, "Where is it?"

"Minerva. Mione and I talked and she went to Minerva as a concerned friend and I pretended no to know. They're going to strip it down." Harry explains, looking a little upset at the thought.

"It won't hurt It Harry, and if it's jinx free you'll get it right back." Remus explains to Harry.

"I'm not worried." Harry admits.

"Food's getting cold, we should eat." Hermione says and that's just what the three do, eat and enjoy their own Christmas celebration.


Hours later Harry and Hermione are lying in the beds in the second bedroom that is in Remus's quarters as he thought that them spending the night was better than going back to the Tower.

"Mione, you awake?" Harry asks in a whisper.

"Yes." Hermione responds, "What's wrong?" she asks as she turns to look at him.

"Are the side effects meant to be this bad?" Harry asks in a worried whisper.

"I'm not sure, from what I've read the side effects can be bad, but I didn't think they would be this bad." Hermione admits.

"Do you think Snape could be doing something to make the side effects worse?" Harry asks in a concerned whisper.

"Theoretically it would be possible." Hermione admits, with a frown, "I'll look into it." Hermione says, just adding it to the list.

"Good." Harry responds and the two of them drift into silence and before too long they are both fast asleep.


January 15th 1994

It has been Three weeks since Christmas and everyone is just starting to back from Christmas holidays.

Between the Firebolt and Crookshanks Ron is furious at Hermione and even though Harry hasn't said so Ron assumes he is mad too, but in truth Harry and Hermione have spent a lot of time together without Ron realising.

Just like she has been spending most her time since Christmas Hermione is in the library, but it's not just school work she is doing, in fact she has a list of about five things other than homework that she has been doing.

"That's it. That's the paper I need." Hermione says to herself, comparing dates and coming to a conclusion, and once she does she starts to write a letter to get it.

"Mione." A voice says, a few minutes later and Hermione turns to see Neville.

"Hey, how was Christmas?" Hermione asks, looking glad to see him.

"Good, really good." Neville answers, "You?"

"Ron's not talking to me, and Harry's caught in the middle." Hermione admits.

"That sounds like there is a story there." Neville comments.

"There is." Hermione confirms, "I'll tell you on the way to the Owlery." Hermione says as she starts to pack up her stuff.

"Sure." Neville responds and once Hermione has picked up all her stuff the two of them get up and head out of the library.


January 17th 1994

It has been two days since Neville returned to school classes have started one more and have ended for the day. As they are both curious about when their Dementor lessons will begin Harry and Hermione are both walking into Remus's office.

"I hope that the two of you aren't here to tell me that you've gotten detention again?" Remus asks when he sees them.

"Not this time." Harry answers, amusement in his voice, "We wanted to ask about when we're going to begin our Dementors lessons." He explains.

"Um, right. How about Thursday, eight o'clock in the history of Magic Classroom? That will be big enough for what we have to do. Though I'm still working on how we're going to do that." Remus admits.

"That sounds good, thank you, Remus." Harry tells him.

"You don't have to thank me, Harry." Remus assures him, "And Hermione, I have something for you." Remus says, pulling a small box out of his pocket, "It's completely clear, there is nothing wrong with it no spells or hexes or anything." Remus tells Hermione.

"What should I do?" Hermione asks curious.

"That's up to you." Remus tells his daughter, "It's yours and what you do with it is your choice." Remus explains to his daughter.

"Okay." Hermione says as she takes the box and puts it in her pocket.

"It's almost dinner time, you two better get going." Remus says and Harry and Hermione both head out of the office.


A few hours later Hermione is sitting in her bed, just staring at the box that her Papa gave back to her. Taking a deep breath Hermione opens the box and takes out the locket. For a little while Hermione just stares and flips it over in her hands.

"Maybe one day." Hermione mutters before she puts the locket back in it's box and puts the box in the draw in her bedside table, knowing that right now she can't wear that locket, but maybe she will be able to one day.


January 20th 1994

At eight o'clock on Thursday evening, Harry and Hermione leave Gryffindor Tower for the History of Magic Classroom. When they arrive at the classroom it is dark and empty so the two of them light the lamps with their wands and only have to wait five minutes before Remus turns up, carrying a large packing case, which he heaves onto Professor Binns's desk.

"What's that?" Harry asks curious.

"Another Boggart." Remus explains as he takes of his cloak, "I've been combing the castle all week, and very luckily, I found this one lurking inside Mr. Filch's filing cabinet. It's the nearest we'll get to a real Dementor." Remus explains, "Harry, when the Boggart sees you it will turn into a Dementor, but Hermione you're going to have to be standing back a bit so that it doesn't sense your fear. I'll store him in my office when we're not using him; there's a cupboard under my desk he'll like."

"Okay." Harry and Hermione say together.

"So…." Remus says as he pulls out his wand as he indicates to Harry and Hermione that they should do the same thing, "I want you both to understand that what I'm going to try to teach you is highly advanced magic, it's well beyond Ordinary Wizarding Level. It's called the Patronus Charm."

"How does it work?" Harry and Hermione ask together.

"Well, when it works correctly, it conjures up a Patronus," Remus explains, "which is a kind of anti-Dementor, a guardian, that acts as a shield between you and the Dementor." Remus explains and both Harry and Hermione nod to indicate that they have understand, "The Patronus is a kind of positive force, a protection of the very things that the Dementor feeds upon, hope, happiness, the desire to survive, but it cannot feel despair, as real humans can, so the Dementors can't hurt it. But I must warn you, Harry, Hermione, the charm might be too advanced for both of you, even with the incredible things you have done. Many qualified witches and wizards have difficulty with it."

"What does a Patronus look like?" Harry asks, sounding curious.

"Each one is unique to the Wizard or witch who conjures it."

"How do you conjure it?" Hermione asks.

"With an incantation, which will work only if you are both concentrating, with all your might, on a single, very happy memory." Remus explains and as he does both Harry and Hermione think and Hermione thinks of the water balloon fight she had with Remus and Harry.

"I'm ready." Hermione says.

"Same." Harry says with a nod after a minute.

"The incantation is this…." Remus says as he clears his throat, "Expecto Patronum."

"Expecto Patronum." Harry and Hermione repeat, "Expecto Patronum."

"Concentrating hard on your happy memory?" Remus asks the pair.

"Oh, yeah." Harry says, as he and Hermione both focus on their respective happy memories, "Expecto Patronum, epxectto patronum, expect patronum." Harry and Hermione both say and as they do something whooshed suddenly out of the ends of both Harry and Hermione's wands; it looks like a wisp of silvery gas

"Did you see that, Papa?" Hermione asks, sounding excited.

"Something happened." Harry says, also sounding excited.

"Very good." Remus says, smiling, "Right, then, are you two ready to try it on a Dementor?"

"Yes." Harry and Hermione say together.

"Okay, Harry move to the centre of the room, Hermione move slightly behind him." Remus instructs and they both do so.

Once they are standing in their respective positions both Harry and Hermione pull their wands and seeing them Remus gasps the of the packing case and pulls. Once he does a Dementor rises slowly from the box, it's hooded face towards Harry and Hermione, one glistening, scabbed hand grips its cloak. The lamps around the classroom flickered and went off, as they do the Dementors stepped from the box and started to sweep silently towards Harry and Hermione, causing a cold to break over them.

"Expecto Patronum." Harry and Hermione say, "Expecto Patronum." Hermione says, finding herself becoming weaker.

"Expecto….." Harry starts to say, before collapsing.

"HARRY." Hermione yells and Remus quickly moves to get in front of the Boggart as Hermione runs over to Harry's side.

"Harry." Hermione says shaking him and once he deals with the Boggart Remus relights the lamps.

"Harry." Remus says and as he does Harry opens his eyes.

"Sorry." Harry says as he sits up.

"Are you alright?" Remus asks, sounding concerned.

"Yes…" Harry says as Hermione helps him up and over to one of the desk.

"Here, both of you." Remus says, handing them both Chocolate Frogs, "Eat these before we try again. I didn't expect either of you to do it your first time; in fact, I would have been astounded if you had."

"It's getting worse." Harry says as he bites of the Frogs head, "I can hear it louder this time, and him, Voldemort." Harry reveals and Hermione reaches out and squeezes his shoulder as she eats her own frog.

"If either of you don't want to continue, I will more than understand." Remus tells them.

"I DO." Harry says fiercely as he stuffs the rest of the frog into his mouth, "I've got to! What if the Dementors turn up at our match against Ravenclaw? I can't afford to fall off again. If we lose this game we've lost the Quidditch cup!" Harry explains.

"I want to keep trying too." Hermione says, with a nod.

"All right then." Remus says, looking at the determine looks on the teenagers faces and realising that they are going to keep going.

"I think you both might want to select another memory, a happier memory, the ones you're using don't seem strong enough."

Remus says and Harry and Hermione both start to think and Hermione goes with the first movie night with Remus and Harry, and after exchanging looks Harry and Hermione both make their way back into position.

"Ready?" Remus ask.

"Ready." Harry and Hermione say together.

"GO." Remus says as he pulls of the lid and the second he does the room goes icy cold and dark once more.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM." Harry and Hermione yell, "EXPECTO PATRONUM."

"EXPECTO PAT…." Harry yells before collapsing.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM." Hermione yells and as she does something comes out of her wand but after about a seconds she falls to her knees and it disappears and Remus hurries out before the boggart can concentrated on Hermione.

"Hermione?" Remus asks worried once he deals with the Boggart.

"Check on, Harry." Hermione says as she attempts to try and make her way to Harry, feeling like she has run a marathon.

"Harry! Harry, wake up!" Remus says as he lightly taps him, "Eat this." Remus says as he hands Hermione some chocolate.

"I heard my dad." Harry mumbles about a minute later, "That's the first time I've ever heard him, he tried to take on Voldemort himself, to give my mum time to run for it." Harry says, tears rolling down his face.

"Of course he did." Remus says in a sad, but fond tone of voice, as he pulls a handkerchief out of his pocket and hands it to Harry so that he can wipe his eyes, "I think we should stop here for the tonight. This charm is ridiculously advance. I shouldn't have suggested putting either of you through this." Remus says as he looks between Harry and Hermione, both looking far from good, feeling that he's made a big mistake by even suggesting this.

"No!" Harry and Hermione say as they look at one another, "We'll have one more go! I don't think I'm thinking happy enough, that's what it is, hang on." Harry says and as he feels Hermione squeeze his hand Harry realises exactly what his happiest memory Is, "I'm ready." Harry says looking at Hermione, "You?"

"Yeah." Hermione says with a nod and they move into the right positions, but this time they don't let go of one another's hands they hold on while raising their wands.

"Ready?" Remus asks, looking between them, knowing that he is doing this against his better judgement, "Concentrating hard?" Remus asks the pair and he gets two nods in response, "All right, go!" Remus says before he pulls off the lid.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Harry and Hermione bellow, "EXPETO PATRONUM! EXPECTO PATRONUM!"

They yell and then a huge, silver shadow comes bursting out of Harry's wand and hovers between him and the Dementor.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM." Hermione yells and the same type of thing comes out of Hermione's, but to both of them it feels like a second lasts an hour.

"Riddikulus." Remus roars as he springs forward and after a loud crack, Harry and Hermione's cloudy patronuses vanish along with the dementor vanish and as it does Harry and Hermione sink into chairs next to each other both of their legs shaking as they feel exhausted.

"Excellent." Remus says, walking over to where they are sitting, "Excellent, Harry, Hermione! That was definitely a start!" Remus says, sounding proud.

"Can we have another go? Just one more go?" Harry asks.

"Not now." Remus says, firmly, "You've both had enough for one night. Here…." Remus says, handing them both large bars of Honeydukes best chocolate.

"Eat the lot, or Poppy will be after my blood." Remus explains to them.

"Same time next week?" Remus ask them.

"Okay." Harry and Hermione say and they both start to eat the chocolate.


About ten minutes later Harry and Hermione are walking back to Gryffindor Tower together.

"That was a lot harder than I was expecting." Hermione admits.

"Me too." Harry responds, "I want to thank you, Hermione, I couldn't have done it without you."

"You did it Harry." Hermione says, turning to face him, "It was because of your magical skill that you could do that, not anything else. You were great." Hermione says with a supportive half smile.

"The only reason I was able to that is because I have happy memories of you and Remus. You two becoming my family is the best thing that has ever happened in my life." Harry tells Hermione, as he reaches out and takes her hand, "You two gave me a home, people who love me, a family, and it was because of that that I had a happy memory strong enough." Harry explains and Hermione hugs him,

"I love you, Harry. You're my family too." Hermione whisper as the two of them embrace in the corridor.


February 1st 1994

It has been ten days since Harry and Hermione had their first Dementor lesson with Remus and since then they have had a second that went much the same way as the first.

It is a Tuesday morning and Hermione and Neville are sitting together during breakfast away from Harry and Ron as Ron is still made at Hermione for Crookshanks and for going to McGonagall about the broom even though Harry has told him more than once that he shouldn't be upset with Hermione.

As she eats an owl drops something in front of Hermione and the second it does Hermione forgets all about eating.

"It's about time." Hermione says, sound annoyed as she has been waiting for this for weeks and she had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it, including taking out a subscription with the daily prophet.

"What is that?" Neville asks curious.

"This Nev, is the very thing that that should have all the answers I want." Hermione reveals as she takes her package and puts it in her bag.

"Do I want to ask?" Neville asks, curious.

"It's probably better that you don't." Hermione admits as she wants to protect her friend.

"You know I'm here, Mione. If you need help, if you need anything I'm here, I always will be, I'm always willing to help you." Neville tells Hermione, his voice completely sincere.

"I know, Nev." Hermine says with a smile and she reaches over and gives her friends hand a squeeze before letting go, "And that means more to be than I can put into words." Hermione tells him with a smile, "But right now I don't understand the pieces that I'm trying to put together, and I hope that this paper gives me the answers, but even if it does I know it's not going to be easy to figure out, and until I do figure this out I have to do this alone." Hermione reveals, "Once I figure it out you will be one of the first people I tell. "

"Okay, just be careful Mione." Neville requests, "I get the feeling that whatever you're doing is dangerous, so just look after yourself, and please, ask for help if you need it." Neville begs, as he suspects that he knows what Hermione is doing and he's terrified that it's just going to end with her being hurt.

"I will." Hermione promises with a smile, "Let's get to class." Hermione says and she and Neville get up and head to class, Hermione counting the minutes until the end of the day so that she can read the paper and see if she can figure out what her father is doing and what he is thinking.
