Chapter 14

A week after the Christmas gathering at the Potters, Petunia had asked for an early Christmas dinner, and she got it.

Lily and Emma had agreed that they didn't want to be alone with the two soon to be newlyweds and had asked their parents' permission to invite James, Sirius, Peter and Remus. Unfortunately, Peter had written back that his mother had fallen farther into her illness over the holidays and had declined with a thank you for thinking of him, Remus had also thanked them, but with a declined apology.

The two Witch sisters were just glad Sirius and James were more than glad to join them. While the sister's parents were excited to be having a house full and had agreed with a pouting Petunia when she hadn't gotten her way, her mannerisms towards her sisters had become even crueler as the days counted down to the day.

"So, Lily, mum and dad tell me you are in a relationship... With a Wizard himself?" Petunia asked, her high-end nose halfway stuck in the air with a full-on attitude when the boys had failed to show up earlier that morning like they had said they would.

"Yes, he and his friend should be arriving soon actually," Lily informed their elder sister, a small smirk on her face as Petunia glared and sipped her tea.

At Petunia's shocked expression Lily had bitten down on her tongue to hold back her laughter, she did not look pleased at all by that information, "Oh... Why's his friend coming?"

"He's Emma's guest really, James is my boyfriend, I had a reason to invite him since he invited us to his family's holiday gathering. I thought it was polite to return the favor. Emma is close friends with his best friend Sirius, and he secretly has a thing for her, so of course, he's going to come when offered time over the holidays to see her." Lily tossed back with a smile, truly she was just getting tired of Petunia's growing ego and snobby attitude. She felt it was only fair she got to toss it back every now and then on small occasions, but she was serious when she had made the comment about Sirius liking Emma, and vice versa. However, she wasn't going to say that last bit, then Petunia would start on Emma. Though, Lily always knew it was better if she tossed back at Petunia rather than Emma, because Emma could be meaner and more verbally cruel than she could, that and she always pulled a prank on Petunia when she got this way towards not only Emma herself but mostly towards Lily.

Petunia lowered her glare to Emma and scowled at her younger sister, a look full of disgust, "A seventeen-year-old shoving his eyes all over Emma, a fourteen-year-old little girl. How revolting, Mum and dad are actually allowing them a relationship? A creature of that status at that. Even you, Lily. I'm shocked at you both." She started. Her nose was still high in all her wishful glory. Though Lily had given the beginning ammunition to Petunia, hoping to get this out of her system before the boys arrived, Lily did not want to be forced to watch Petunia glare and start a problem as they all witnessed the interaction between Emma and Sirius.

'You just set yourself up for this one, Tunia.' Lily thought as she let out a slow, silent sigh of remorse for her sisters, closing her eyes. Lily gave up. Petunia had sealed her fate, no amount of wishing from the two Evans witches wished for Petunia to stop, she had only continued. "I don't see why you can't look away from all that stupidity and nonsense involving magic! It's all just so... Disgusting. It's more trouble than it's worth, you're all more trouble than you're worth, he's probably no better. May not even find a decent career with such improper schooling." Petunia sneered with pure disgust. Her face scrunched with a repulsive expression towards the idea of working with someone from the Wizarding world.

Emma hadn't listened to the rest of it, she was far too upset. Everything Petunia said started to fly in one ear and out the other, this was her oldest sister now. The fun-loving and playful Petunia left her when she too got her letter for Hogwarts just like Lily had. Lily and Emma were no longer considered Petunia's sisters if she could help it. Petunia had been very clear that the only reason Lily and Emma were even remotely invited to her wedding was because their parents wished them to at least attend it, they were still family, as long as their mother and father were alive.

Emma had had enough and her rage was well known to Lily who had witnessed it a time or so, "Petunia, I'd really suggest you stop talking right now. Sirius and I are just friends," Even though that was part of the truth, she thought it was better to just go with it to shut her sister up, "I may be fourteen, but there are times I act far from it," she spoke sternly, a heaviness settling in the room.

Unprovoked, Petunia laughed and continued on, until the glasses setting upon the table began to suddenly shatter into tiny crystal sized pieces, causing Petunia and Lily to jump in fright. Poor Vernon had nearly peed himself as he shrank behind his soon to be wife, whimpering something about crazy people and nonsense magic, which only fueled Emma's anger and Petunia's dislike for the magical community as she watched Emma stand from her seat and walk into the hallway towards the door to await James and Sirius.

Lily prayed they'd get there soon. James and Sirius had a way with calming her down that Lily wished she knew their secrets too. If only he knew it himself, Sirius was different. Whereas it took Lily a few hours to help her calm down and James a few minutes, Sirius could calm her down instantly, simply by hugging her and saying, "It'll be alright, Love. Promise."

Lily sent a stern look to their elder sister, disappointed in Petunia. If that was meant to be a tease, then it was a very poor placed one, but Lily knew she was not only jealous of the two of them, she was hateful and vindictive now and did not, nor would ever again, see them as her little sisters. It broke Lily's heart every time she remembered this, especially for Emma, who had loved Petunia with all her heart and had even tried making her love her again like she had when she got her letter. Trying to make Petunia feel better, but the little girl had been shot down every time she tried to show their older sister any form of sisterly love.

"Petunia, you crossed the line with that, if you're to be angry and disappointed with anyone, be so at yourself. That was very unnecessary." Lily said, scolding her older sister with disapproval.

A car pulled into the Evans family drive and turned off.

Emma was the first to open the front door, dashing across the driveway and tossing herself into the first persons' arms she could get to, which happened to be James.

The boys laughed at her as James hugged her tightly and spun her around a few turns and set her down, "Happy to see us so soon Foxy?" James asked and ruffled her hair, a small frown set his face as he saw her slightly red and teary eyes, "Will-"

Shaking her head quickly, stopping him from even starting, Emma was not going to let something crazy and out of hand begin, "No, just be as nice as you can be Jamie. My mum, Lily and I worked really hard for today to be amazing for us all, so just go with it and no magic in the house, Vermin-, Vernon, is still getting used to myself and Lily, please?" she pleaded softly.

Hearing her plea, James nodded, still curious as to what was going on, "Yea-yeah, sure thing Foxy. Uh-"

"Lily's inside- never mind." Emma had eaten her words as fast as she had spoken them when Lily was suddenly rushing out the front door and down the porch stairs, heading right for James. A wide and happy smile gracing her face, "Thank you so much for coming." She said breathing in his smooth colon when he had enveloped her into his arms, hugging her with a strong embrace.

Emma stood watching them, a happy smile on her face. She hadn't realized she was nearly an icicle until warm arms wrapped around her, warming her chilling arms "I know, they're cute. It's hard to look away. But you're far better to look at."

"Yeah they are cute," Emma said, with a blushed smile, ignoring his ending comment. "Come on, let's get inside it's cold out here." Sirius grinned, picking her up and walked to the front porch, both laughing.

"Sirius, I have legs. I can walk."

"I know, but this is most amusing," he said, opening the door and setting her down, waiting for James and Lily, who were right behind them giggling at him and Emma.

"James, Sirius, how wonderful you're here. I hope the drive was comfortable." Mary said, a wide smile on her face as she walked up to the boys and hugged them, "Dinner is almost done, the girls can show you around if you'd like and you can meet my oldest and her fiancé. Vernon is a sweetheart." She said with a wide smile, she was proud her daughter found someone that loved her, she was proud of all her girls. Just as Mary had spoken about Vernon, he and Petunia had walked down the hall, noses half in the air and fake smiles on their faces.

Sirius turned around to face James and snickered, then began to mutter to one another silently between them both, "Beware of the high and mighty majesties. They have crowns shoved up their-gruh" Grunting in slight pain, Sirius silently laughed at the grinning Emma who'd gently elbowed him to shut him up quickly as the couple walked up to them, biting back a snicker all her own, "You must be the wizards my sisters can't seem to stop talking about. I have to say I was beginning to get worried you wouldn't make it. Poor Lily and Emma would have been absolutely heartbroken." Though her actions had seemed truly concerned, they all knew Petunia wouldn't have cared in the least if they hadn't made it.

Grinning with a shrug, Sirius draped an arm around Emma, enjoying the sneered glare and disgusted look Petunia was giving him as he did so, "Not likely, we love them too much to abandon them like that." Sirius said with a charming smirk as James bit his lip to stop from laughing and flicked Sirius upside the head, "Ouch, what'd I say Prongs?"

James shook his head in silent laughter, "Nothing Padfoot."

Confused and curious, Vernon asked, "'Prongs'? 'Padfoot'? What kind of ridiculous names are those." Vernon asked with a judgmental laugh.

"Nicknames, Dear. Emma said they had their little nicknames for their group. I believe Emma's was Fox or Foxy..." Petunia teased, "Well, you boys go and be boys while us girls go help mummy. Lily, Emma, mum needs help." Petunia said sternly as if the two girls were mere slaves to her bidding. With a silent sigh, the sisters followed behind her, forcing themselves not to groan, "So, do you boys like cars?" Vernon asked, rubbing his hands together, "I saw you drive up in a grey mustang, is it new?"

"Renting, it's a nice car isn't it." Sirius said with a slight shrug.

"Is the red Camaro yours?" James asked, trying to be polite and sate the conversation with Vernon. "Yes, actually. I just got it. So, why rent the Mustang?" He asked curiously.

"We don't live around here so we didn't see the need to buy a vehicle then not have a way to take it home." James clarified.

Vernon nodded in agreement, his wide smile still across his face. "Ah, completely understandable. It's a lovely car, but I was raised with many things, so when I graduated, I was able to have an advancement as an apprentice in the office to get a head start with my career. I know I'm being nosy, but may I ask what you both intend to choose as a career?"

The boys looked at one another, raised eyebrows and grinned, "To become Aurors," James started, Sirius picked up for him, a wide pleasing grin on his face when they saw Vernon's confusion, but was nice enough to elaborate what an Auror was, "Meaning we would be chasing after the worst of the worst kinds of criminals," Sirius said.

They were enjoying this too much. They both knew Petunia and Vernon were rude to Lily and Emma, so why should they be polite to Vernon? Petunia was the only one they needed to be decent to. Mary and Louie were wonderful people, so of course they were going to be themselves and exceptionally wonderful to them.

James looked forward to having the Evans's as in-laws, they were heartwarming to be around, always smiled and tried to have a great time.

Sirius sighed, running a hand through his hair a bit and stretched, his back was hurting a little from the drive, but it was worth it seeing the girls, "So, what does that mean? Being an Auror?" Vernon asked, trying to sound interested.

At this, James simply shrugged, understanding that he still may find it difficult to understand it, which was perfectly normal and fine, "We would be a part of an elite, highly-trained, special forces serving the wizard government to uphold the laws and protecting the magical community from large-scaled threats. So basically, we'd be considered equal to the military or Police officers to non-magical folk."

Vernon nodded, probably catching on finally, "Ah, I simply work with bolts, order, and organization with numbers, pays a healthy sum too. Petunia and I have a home already, it's nice. Three bedrooms, a lovely living room, and dining room, the kitchen is nice too and the yard is lush and beautiful." Of course, Vernon was going to brag, the home was indeed a very beautiful home. His career, and future was indeed something to be very proud of.

"Sounds beautiful. You should see James's family home; his parents were speaking just last night about signing over the Manor to him and his future wife as a wedding gift. This way, his parents can move to a smaller home." Sirius said grinning.

Vernon was doing a terrible job boasting about wealth when Sirius had obviously come from wealth himself, though he'd always despise his family, so why not do a little boasting on his friend's behalf?

"Manor?" Vernon stuttered, rather shocked to hear such a word, he hadn't expected to hear of them having that much family money, maybe he should have done his research on these boys, but yet, with his human and non-magical statues, he had a feeling he'd likely not be able to find anything regarding these two boy's background, let alone find if they even existed.

"Yes, The Potter Manor, passed down for generations-"

"Sirius," James shushed him with a slight nudge and shake of his head. James would brag and boast yes, but he never much liked boasting about his family home, because that was exactly all it was, it was just a roof over their heads, where his family lived. Something his ancestors on the Potter side had built years ago, it was his father's and mother's home to boast about, something they have successfully maintained and kept up with, not his.

"Boys, dinner's ready," Lily rushed up to them, a wide and obviously forced smile on her face as she sent a look to both boys, she really wanted to avoid any further issues.

James smiled and kissed her forehead, "Of course," The way James always looked at her was like any troubles were washed away when he set eyes on her. James cared for nothing else besides his family, Lily and Emma and the Marauders. James had looked at the three boys not as best friends but as brothers since their second year at school. And as the years went on, they had become a part of his family.

Sitting down for dinner, everyone had put on their best faces and attitude, though Petunia and Vernon had sent a glare or two across the table at the other four magical beings in the house.

Sirius had written on a small, disposable, napkin and passed it to Emma, 'This is going to be a long dinner, isn't it?' folding the napkin she did a well-placed fake cough into the napkin and nodded.

"So, has the year gone smoothly so far?" Louie asked the four magical students, who nodded "Yes, it's gone smoothly, classes are a bit difficult but it's the whole process of learning, the teachers are excellent. Lily's in the Slug Club. Professor Slughorn has a small club set up for his most advanced and talented students, Lily is one of the few that's at the top of the Potions class. Your daughter is brilliant Mr. Evans. Emma is doing great also, where she finds herself lacking, she finds help to aid her, a smart decision too. Severus has helped her and Gabby a lot this year and last." As Head Boy James made sure to know how his fellow Gryffindors' did in classes.

"Really? That's encouraging to hear, Lily says you're Head Boy this year with her as Head Girl?" Louie asked with curiosity.

"Yes, Dumbledore made the decision. I wasn't perfect at all the previous years, so it's an amazing honor for me, even though I thought Remus should have been Head Boy." James said with a smile, he was being truthful. He'd been shocked when he got the badge, notice and everything involving the position.

Dinner had lasted about two hours, Lily and Emma helped their mother and Petunia clean up while the boys conversed with Louie in the living room talking about almost anything. When the girls walked in and sat with their significant other, Emma had plopped down in one of the armchairs by herself and smiled playfully at Sirius when he raised a brow at her for not sitting next to him while Petunia sat next to Vernon and Lily had sat leg to leg with James. Mary, claiming the armchairs' arm at her husband's side.

Sirius shrugged it off knowing they weren't parading around as a couple and that the age difference may still more than likely be considered inappropriate to others.

All and all, they had still enjoyed the Christmas dinner, though the two boys had agreed they didn't much care for Vernon and Petunia, mostly because of their attitude towards the girls.

Beginning Term Two - 1978

New Year's flew by, and second term rolled around with classes continuing like a charm.

Lily and James had been shaken up at one point in time by something that had happened, and it was bothering Emma and Gabby as to what was going on to scare the two so badly. Annoyingly so, the two refused to fess up.

"He's really trying to gather followers to kill every Muggle-born witch and wizard James, how is it ever going to be okay... I'm joining The Order, Remus joined, and so has Sirius. And after that encounter, I'm fighting against this tyrant. I will not live in a world with monsters like that, he confessed to having a hand in murdering Mary and her family-" Lily paced as she ranted in the hallway in front of Dumbledore staircase, waiting to be allowed in.

James grabbed her arms, stopping her, he was trying so hard not to laugh at her, but he knew better than to do that at the current moment.

"Lily, breath... Alright, everything will be alright. I promise, and I agree. I won't live in a world with a monster like that, and I couldn't stand for any child of ours to be born in a world with that kind of being trying to rule us."

Upon hearing about children, Lily began to panic in depth. Fear for her child, their child, growing without his/her parents, "Our child goes to Sirius and Emma if we don't make it." She said outright. Shocked, James gently shook his head in confusion, trying to bring his mind back to reality, "Wait, slow down, what are you talking about Lil?" Now he was worried, did she truly think they would be killed in this? It was possible, but why think like that?

"Sirius and Emma. Emma will obviously be the Aunt, but I want her on the Certificate as the Godmother along with Marlene. I know you already want Sirius or Remus as the Godfather." Lily was officially freaking out and thinking far too much about this in such a negative way. It wasn't healthy. Nodding, James simply agreed with her, "Okay, yeah. We can do that, but Lily? Try to think of this positively... Okay? Just, try." He said watching her breath in deeply and let it out slowly. She had finally calmed down when Dumbledore's stairwell started moving, stepping onto the moving staircase and into his office, they joined the others for an Order meeting.

"My brave students, and soon to be equals in the Wizarding world as friends. I welcome you all newcomers to the Order of the Phoenix."

June 17th, 1978

Emma had begun noticing the weekly disappearance of the four Marauder boys and that of Marlene, and Lily. James had missed not only Quidditch practices but two games but Sirius had dropped out willingly and would hardly be around besides to go to classes and do homework. He'd even forgotten about their Hogsmeade adventures, but she kept in mind that whatever had their, his, attention must be important.

At least she was trying to. Sadly though, she was failing.

Gabby was even missing the girls and boys. Severus had also mysteriously begun disappearing over the few months. This drastic change was really beginning to bother the two fourth years.

"I've cornered Sev, and Marlene, and they both continue to say the same thing! "Don't concern yourselves." I mean, really? How are we just supposed to let this go! Have you talked to Sirius or James? Lily?" Gabby asked.

They had won three games since they started their Second term, two during second against Slytherin, but that was only because Regulus Black was no longer playing Seeker, let alone Quidditch and one at the first of their third against Hufflepuff, a game they had barely won!

"I can't even get him to talk to me anymore. Sirius is always exhausted and doesn't seem to have any more time. It's weird, and I'm worried... For all of them. "They all seemed to be passing, except Peter and that worried her most for him.

'What is going on!' Emma thought to herself with irritation. She had tried following them but had always lost them each and every time.

"Emma, we need answers. We deserve answers! If they won't talk to us, then maybe we should speak to Dumbledore. Everything went crazy for them when they spoke with him Four months ago after James and Lily got spooked about something two weeks after school started for the second term." Gabby stated sternly. And she was right.

They needed answers.

So, they went to get answers in the form of Professor Dumbledore, except he had found his office empty. Looking around, both Gabby and Emma went walking about the castle looking for any sign of the Professor or the group they were looking for, but instead, a door had found them abruptly. "Uh, Emma? Any idea where the door came from?"

Emma, not having a clue what was going on and shocked, shook her head, "Let's check it out."

Walking in, they were assaulted by a group of arguing people they had been looking for all day in the large room. The two fourth years were not only confused, but they were also angry. Their family and close friends had been sneaking around their backs for secret meetings and what else they couldn't think of.

"What the bloody hell is going on!" Gabby had spoken first, the words flying from her. Her anger was very clear, while Emma started, trying to let her mind catch up with this.

Remus stepped forward, confusion and worry clear on his face.

They had found them... 'How did they find us?'

"Gabs, Emma... What are you doing here?" As simple as the question was, it had only made the situation worse.

Sirius flinched with slight pain for Remus as he began to attempt questioning their girls, 'Bad choice of words Moony.'

'We're so dead!' Peter's mind screamed with fear, shrinking back behind Sirius.

'Nice knowin' ya buddy,' James thought with a soft sigh of remorse, a gentle shake of his head with a pat here and there to his back from Marlene. A silent sign of sympathy and condolences of the likelihood of the soon to be loss of one of the dear Marauder's. The action had made James silently snicker inwardly as he scratched the back of his head with a deep sigh.

'This is going to be good.' A set of unknown twins thought, grinning to themselves as they watched the teenagers interact.

Gabby flared at him, her pale blue eyes piercing through him and decided to toss one at him, "Looking for the White Rabbit who's late to Wonderland!" She growled, "Why the heck do you think we're here, Remus Lupin! Looking for you lot! We want answers... Now..."And with that being the final say, the door that had not only provided safety from others and enemies had sealed them in with two ticked off girls who knew how to use their fury.

'Oh boy... Here we go again.' James thought, but what happened next stunned the Order Members, as the unknown twins laughed with a belly of laughter.

"Welcome, Gabrielle and Emma, to one of the meetings of the Order of the Phoenix and to the grand hall of the Room of Requirements," Dumbledore said knowingly as he gave Gabby a pointed smiling stair. Something in his stare made her feel as if he knew her future, and that, for an unknown reason, worried her. "Truth be told, I honestly thought you both would have caught up to us sooner, but late is much better than never," Dumbledore said, a smile still across his face.

Lily and the others all looked at Dumbledore in utter shock as an uproar began from the two girl's close family and friends, starting with Lily and Marlene "What!"

"No way," Peter jumped in, Sirius's face was full of shock and fear, "Not happening!"

"Now wait a second! We joined to fight this War, so they wouldn't have to!" The last was Remus, where James picked up for him, "Exactly! Dumbledore, you are not going to involve our girls, Lily and the other seventh year's I can understand, she's a seventh year and we are all nearly done with school. Alice and Frank graduated the year before, but not our Fox's."

Marlene and Alice hugged one another, Frank held them both in comfort, they were panicking. "They are to have absolutely nothing to do with this war!"

"They're right, Albus, they are just children, fourth years, what could they do! This war is growing more difficult, more serious as the days go by!" McGonagall spoke up, fear clearly written across her face the same as the others.

Would he really involve children, mere fourth years, in this war?

Dumbledore, having enough of his ear's being attacked by the shouts, held up a hand, silencing them all. "Klay Malcolm joined and he's in his fifth year. He joined after his older brother was murdered over Christmas break, he is only doing small things, keeping his eyes and ears open and bringing anything he finds back to us, Minerva. But in the end, it is up to them, not as students but as free Witches and Wizards of our community. Or older students are old enough and experienced enough to defend themselves, though you know as well as I that I would never allow my students to place themselves in danger, nor by my own doing."

"And if they get caught!" Sirius shouted outraged, 'Is he really going to let two fourth years get mixed into this!?'

"Sirius is right. That does not guarantee their safety nor their survival if they get involved! What happens if they get caught!" Lily screamed. Panic fully visible. She'd almost lost Emma once, lost one of hers' and Marlene's and Alice's friend, Mary, already and Thomas's body was found in the forest two weeks after he'd gone missing. 'Were-wolf attack' was what it looked like from the corner's examination and how it had been ruled.

Remus and the others were outraged, he had been forced to let Lily and the other girls join, simply because they were old enough and had even found him mid-transformation when he was without the Marauder boys and the two girls. It was one of the first and most painful transformations he'd had since he began doing his monthly transformation with the Marauder boys. The two girls had followed him and fought him with body binding spells the entire night and kept him from harming himself, them and anything else he tried to chase after, they had done that the past four months.

"Join what?" Emma finally spoke, she was still confused about what was going on, her mind had not really caught up with this, though she had grown tired of trying to do so. So, she asked for clarification.

And she got it.

"This is the Order of the Phoenix. I constructed this Order in hopes of fighting against a Dark Wizard who is not only gathering followers but killing muggles, muggle-born and those who defy him and refusing to join him. He was a student here years ago, a very bright boy with grand potential. Unfortunately, I didn't see where his potential was being directed and he chose the darkness of magic. He grew restless and power-hungry. His name was Tom Riddle, he now goes by 'Lord Voldemort'. A name he reconstructed himself and to my everlasting disappointment, has found a way to get his hooks into my students here at Hogwarts. Even going as far as threatening family and friends or killing them, all of them, if he's still refused. Students began going missing last year, possibly going back as far to the near end of yours and Miss. McKinnon's' second year here. It got worse after the deaths of Mary's family and herself. A Slytherin student by the name Thomas Grey was found murdered and dumped in the Dark Forest, it was publicly registered under a were-wolf attack due to the student wondering where he should not have gone. However, the Ministry has him in their deeper records as murdered and left for the animals and they are still, unfortunately, looking for the killer. Your sister, Lily and Mr. Potter, were cornered by a couple of previous students of Hogwarts in league with Voldemort and not only asked, but threatened, to join him. Thankfully the two are remarkable duelists and fought their way out and reported the incident directly to Professor McGonagall and myself. They then joined the Order themselves."

"Why are you telling us all this?" Gabby softly spoke in a hushed whisper. The two girls had grabbed a hold of one another's hands as Dumbledore spoke, in hopes, it would help comfort them. It was definitely a lot to take in.

"Because you both came for answers and you deserve them with utmost honesty. And as your Headmaster, I would give you nothing less from it."

It was silent, no one knew what to say. He had surely spoken a mouthful.

"When do we join?" Emma asked bluntly, there was nothing else to say or asked.

He was right. They all were. But someone had to help somewhere. Her and Gabby were indeed small, they could get into and out of places others could not, even Klay.

"You may join now if you wish. However, you will not be leaving the school grounds, you'll be simply keeping your eyes and ears open until you finish school here at Hogwarts. Until then, I'm afraid there is very little you can do. Though, I believe I shall assign you both to something while we are here. You will be joining Mr. Lupin in his monthly transformation, as I'm sure you already know of," At their shocked expressions he grinned with a nod, "Yes, I know of you all, and no, I will not say a word to anyone. Even though I should by law. However, I'm finding my silence to be more selfish in this area, not only for the Order but in the aiding of Mr. Lupin. I'm sure you ladies will be able to keep him in good company and in great hands. I trust you will use your forms to grand, but wisely, advantages. Am I right, Fox?"

Gabby and Emma grinned wickedly at one another then nodded to the Professor, "Of course, Professor." The girls spoke in a soft, mischievous unison.

"Come on Gabby, we still have homework to get done, we should go finish it."

Walking out, Gabby turned to Emma, a bit confused but pleased at the same time, "What just happened?

"We got our answers."
