Hey guys I decided NOT to abandon my story. Read the previous chapter- it's much better and will make sense. You can tell between the two Sirius'. So here's my story….
-NEXT MORNING-
"Students!" Headmaster Dumbledore said at breakfast the next morning. He stood up and the chatter gradually died down.
"We will be having a new professor that will be helping Professors Donovan and Granger. Professor Sean Courtley is not present for breakfast, but will be assisting the DADA professors starting from today." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye. He sat back down, and the chatter erupted.
Hermione and Harry walked into the classroom to find Sirius already there, walking nervously in front of the desk.
"Nervous?" Harry said, grinning.
"Hell yeah." Sirius said bitterly.
"We're having the 7th year Slytherins and Gryffindors first. That means James, Lily, your past self, Remus, Peter, Lucius, Snape, Bellatrix, and a bunch of other Death Eaters. You'll have to keep your emotions to yourself, okay?" Hermione warned.
"Yeah, even I treat Bellatrix equally because I know she's dead." Harry said.
Sirius nodded as the first couple people came in. Sirius gave all of them smiles as they walked in, and all of the girls blushed. When everyone was seated, Sirius introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Sean Courtley. First of all, don't ever call me 'sir' or 'professor'." Sirius began.
The whole class mostly Gryffindors cheered loudly and whooped happily.
"Right. To hell with those strict rules. So call me Sean, got it?" Sirius said.
Everyone nodded. They knew they'd like this new professor. At least the Gryffindors did.
Suddenly, Harry groaned loudly.
"Would you all be so kind and not think or show your emotions so damn loudly?" Harry said, through gritted teeth.
They all looked confused.
"I can read your thoughts and emotions- especially the girls- so please stop thinking so damn loud." Harry explained holding his forehead in his hands. Most of the girls blushed brightly.
"Oh, and for those of you who wanted to know, I'm not planning to break up with Ginny in a long while." Harry added, and winked at Ginny, who was sitting next to Lily. She blushed and tried not too smile too hard.
"But Si-Sean over here, is single and looking." Harry also added, grinning. Sirius discreetly elbowed him in the ribs.
"Hurry up, you guys." Hermione said from behind.
"Okay, okay! Roll call. Erm… Sirius Black." Sirius1 said with a goofy grin.
"At your service." Sirius said, giving Sirius1 a mock salute.
"I forgot I used to say that." Sirius1 muttered to himself. He could tell that Harry, Hermione, Remus, James, and Sirius heard him say that. They all grinned at him.
"Violet Brown."
"Here."
"Wait, Sean. Miss. Brown, Miss. Patil, as hot, cute, and handsome as Sean and I may be, I would like you to discuss it some other time- out of class." Harry interrupted.
Both girls blushed ferociously and then nodded quickly. Harry gave both of them winks to show that they weren't in trouble.
Sirius went through the roll call and class began.
"Today we're going to be dueling, so stand up." Harry announced.
With a clap, all of the desks and chairs disappeared. Then Hermione conjured some mats.
"Gryffindors on one side and Slytherins on the other." Harry said.
"Harry and I-" Sirius started.
"Actually, I don't think it would be fair if I dueled, 'cause, er, I'm more advanced. So you and Hermione should duel each other." Harry told Sirius.
"Why? It's okay, I can duel with you." Sirius said.
"No, you shouldn't." Harry said back.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"NO."
"YES!"
"NO!"
"Enough! We've wasted too much time… well- you two wasted too much time. We only have 30 more minutes left." Hermione said in an annoyed tone.
"Okay… how about Lily Evans and Bellatrix Le-Black?" Harry said curiously. He wondered how his mother felt towards Bellatrix and how she well she knew how to duel.
They both walked up to the mat. Lily and Bellatrix hated each other. Bellatrix always called Lily a 'mudblood' and Lily hated that. They inclined their heads just a millimeter.
"On the count of 3…. 1….. 2-"
"Stupefy!" Bellatrix cried out.
"Protego!" Lily was ready.
Bellatrix had a nasty smile on her face. Suddenly, she fell, but a blast of shot towards Lily from Bellatrix's wand.
Instantly, Harry knew what it was. He lunged in front of Lily and took the curse. He felt a cold, sharp pain flow through his body. After the curse died down, his head throbbed and his body shook slightly.
Harry looked up at Bellatrix, who had gotten up. She had a surprised, but sick smile on her face.
"You…you-"Harry shook with anger. "How can you even think of doing that on another student? Oh, yes, I know you're capable of doing that, but at school? What were you thinking? You're a cruel person, you should know that. You sick, little-"
"Harry!" It was Ginny. She rushed up to him and put a hand up and rubbed it on his back to calm him down. She could feel that he was shaking.
"Excuse me Professor, but what did she do?" Lily asked in a small voice. She didn't want to anger the professor more.
"Oh, but I fell!" Bellatrix said in a sickly sweet voice. "I never meant to do that!"
"Don't think I didn't hear you Miss. Black. You won't be getting away with this." Harry said quietly. "Class dismissed. No homework. Miss. Evans, stay behind, please."
Everyone except Lily left the room in hushed voices, glancing back at their young and angry professor. James, Remus, Ginny, and Sirius stayed also, wanting to hear what happened.
"She's a bitch. A cruel little bitch." Harry growled. He gave his desk a kick and the wood cracked a little. The students backed away, afraid of their teacher.
He looked at them and his eyes softened. "My apologies." Harry said in a softer tone.
"Er, could you tell me what Bellatrix was trying to do to me?" Lily asked quietly.
"Do you want me to tell you in front of them?" Harry asked. He didn't know if he should tell Lily in front of James, Sirius, and Remus, and especially James. He'd go ballistic.
Lily nodded, but with hesitance.
Harry conjured some chairs for all of them to sit in.
"I hate her…" Harry grumbled as he ruffled his hair in frustration.
"Calm down, Harry." Hermione said softly.
"What'd Bellatrix do?" Sirius1 asked.
Harry took a deep breath. "She performed the Cruciatus Curse."
Everyone gasped.
James, Sirius1, Remus, and Sirius started to curse Bellatrix out angrily.
"Where's Peter?" Hermione asked.
"He didn't get to eat breakfast so he went ahead to lunch." Remus answered.
Everyone rambled on and on about what Bellatrix did… except for Lily. She stayed silent.
"I thought the Cruciatus Curse was supposed to make people scream in pain and agony?" Sirius said.
"It is, some people even go insane. But I've learned to, not fight it, but lessen the pain. It just feels like a sharp cold pain in my body, but it doesn't hurt enough to make me scream and all those things. I've been put through a lot of those curses in my past." Harry said. His head was still throbbing.
Everyone was silent.
"We should go…" Remus said. Sirius nodded, understanding it wasn't in their place, but James shook his head because Lily made no move to get up. They both looked worriedly at them all, and then slowly walked out of the door.
"Professor," a voice whispered. It was Lily.
Harry looked up to see Lily shaking. "Even- even if it didn't hurt as much, you know, as it would for everyone else, w-why did you take the curse for me?" Lily asked quietly.
Everyone was quiet as Harry thought about that. She didn't know that he was her future son, so he had to think of another reason.
"It's always right for a professor to protect a student." Harry finally said, looking up at Lily. He saw a tear fall from Lily's face. Then more came. He bent over and pulled her into a hug. He guessed it was from the shock of it that she was crying. Lily cried freely on Harry's shoulder. Slowly, Harry put Lily into James' arms and gave him a small smile. Sirius1, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all watched as James put Lily in his lap and rocked her slowly and stroke her hair softly. Occasionally, he would whisper words into her ear to try to calm her down.
Ginny, Harry, Sirius1, and Hermione smiled at the sight. Harry tensed- something was going to go wrong. Suddenly, Lily pushed herself off of James and ran out of the door. James looked hurt and confused. He was about to follow her, when Harry spoke.
"Don't. She needs to be alone. She just wants to be by herself." Harry said.
"How d'you know?" James asked.
"I felt her emotions. I guess she thought it was wrong… I mean, she hates-or hated- you from the moment you two met, and now she feels confused about what she thinks of you. She really doesn't know what to do or think anymore, concerning you. Just don't be too upset if she avoids you for a little while or so." Harry said.
"Wow. You're a chick genius!" James said in awe.
"Thanks." Harry grinned. "You should get to lunch now. You too, Gin."
"Alright, I'll see you later." Ginny gave Harry a peck on the cheek and left with James.
"Now, we have to make a plan of what we'll do to Little Miss. Bella." Harry said grimly.

The next morning, Harry, Sirius1, and Hermione woke up extra early. They went and sat at the staff table before anyone else, except for Dumlbedore. Finally, after a lot of eager waiting, students started filling into the Great Hall.
Once Sirius1, Hermione, and Harry made sure that everyone was in the Great Hall and seated, they each muttered a spell so nobody could hear them. There was a flash of blinding white light from the Slytherin table. On the place where Bellatrix was sitting, was a ferret with blue flames on top of its head and a cloudy speech bubble would occasionally appear on top of the blue flames that read words like, 'My armpits are extra itchy today!' and 'Excuse me, I need to go relieve myself'. The ferret also had a collar with the name "Bella L." and on the ferrets back, the initials, P.F., H.P., and M.G. were shaved. (that stood for Padfoot, Harry Potter, and 'Mione Granger)
For a minute, everyone was dead silent, then everyone let out roars of laughter. Sirius1, Harry, and Hermione were few of the people who laughed the hardest. They were literally on all fours laughing and taking pride in their work. Sirius1 had transfigured Bella into a ferret (with the collar), Hermione had put the blue flames on top of Bella's head, and Harry made the speech bubbles and the shaven initials.

The Marauders were having breakfast when suddenly, a blinding light erupted from the Slyterhin table. It took a second to figure out who that weird looking ferret was. The Marauders (not including Peter) immediately turned their heads towards their DADA teachers and found them laughing hysterically on all fours. That was when they started to laugh uncontrollably too.
"Messrs Potter, Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew!" barked Professor McGonagall angrily over the laughter.
The whole hall went silent.
Sirius jumped up and said loudly, "We didn't do it this time, honest!" The whole hall gasped. Professor McGonagall stopped herself from rolling her eyes.
"Excuse me, Minerva." Harry interrupted. Professor McGonagall turned around to face Harry. "Yes, Professor Donovan?"
"Well, it's apparent that you can't stand them, so I could give them detention so you won't have to waste your time." Harry explained.
"Oh, well, then very well." Professor McGonagall said gratefully.
The students started to chatter again, occasionally glancing at Harry. Bellatrix was carried away by some Slytherins to the infirmary.
Classes went by quickly, and soon the Marauders were knocking on Harry's classroom door. The door opened and they walked in. Sirius1, Hermione, and Harry were in there.
"What're we doing for detention?" Sirius asked.
"What are you talking about?" Sirius1 asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Er, you know, detention?" Remus said slowly.
"Well, what'd you do to get detention?" Harry asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Er… nothing." Peter said dumbly.
"Exactly. You guys didn't do anything so why should you have detention?" Hermione said.
"Er…"
"We've decided that since we did it and you got blamed for it, you guys give us detention instead." Harry explained.
"Brilliant!" James and Sirius exclaimed.
"Hang on- you're telling us, students, to give you, professors, detention?" Remus said.
Sirius1, Harry, and Hermione nodded.
"So, guys, what'll it be?" Hermione asked.
The Marauders immediately went into a huddle. Sirius1 rolled his eyes and grinned.
Five minutes later, after much arguing and heated discussions, they walked up to their DADA professors.
"What do you guys want us to do?" Harry asked.
"We have decided, instead of a detention, we want you three to come with us on the next full moon." James said dramatically.
Harry quickly thought through this quickly and looked at Sirius1 and Hermione. They had a silent conversation, and agreed, though Hermione was quite uncertain.
"Alright. When's the next full moon?" Harry asked.
"Tomorrow night." The four Marauders chorused. Tomorrow would be the 10th of December. On the 11th, everyone would go home for the holidays.
"Okay. McGonagall's most likely to be patrolling on this floor and she won't be very happy If we let you out after only 15 minutes of detention, so we have to do something else until about an hour." Hermione said.
"Exploding Snap, anyone?" Sirius1 suggested.
