Becca nodded solemnly. "Yes, I know how you died. Actually, I know more or less why."

Lupin's brows shot up in confusion. "But how do you know? How do you know who we are and how we died? If we truly are dead, we could not speak to anyone."

Becca shook her head. "You guys all died for the same reason."

Tonks tilted her head. "What reason would that be? I mean, we were all killed in battle I guess…"

"You all died for Harry."

Lupin and Sirius jumped to their feet. "How do you know Harry!?" Sirius growled.

Becca jumped at the harshness of his voice. "I know about Harry because there are books that document practically every minute of his life from the day he turned 11." She stepped back, glaring at the men. "I know that you're a werewolf and used to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. You died with Tonks fighting at Hogwarts. You two just had a child."

A cry came from Tonks when Becca mentioned their baby. "I was so selfish! I wanted to help you, Remus, and make sure that you came back to our family. I left him alone and didn't even think that I could lose my life as well." Lupin pulled Tonks into his arms, murmuring terms of endearment and forgiveness as she sobbed into his shirt.

Becca, torn over making Tonks cry, rushed to assure her that the baby was indeed in good hands. "Lupin, you named Harry godfather of your child. He's going to accept that responsibility and take care of him. He'll go to Hogwarts and become a troublemaker just like yourself, and he will not be a werewolf."

Lupin sighed in relief. "I don't know why, but I believe what you say."

Becca smiled. They started to talk about the baby when Kris walked into the camp. "Hey," she greeted, slightly preoccupied.

"Hey yourself," replied Becca.

Sirius gave a grunt, "So, did you make friends with the professor?"

Kris smiled. "As a matter of fact, I did. He's…interesting."

Branches snapped behind her as Snape stalked into the clearing. "I am not her friend or anyone else's in here.

"Ooh Krissy, you've made him bitey!" She paused, examining Snape's face. "Well, more than he usually is anyway." Remus smiled faintly and Tonk's hair made a recovery from mousey brown hair back to its usual pink. Sirius just flat out laughed, yet it was more of a bark. "Oh Sirius, you laugh like a puppy, and you rather look like one as well." Becca winked over at him who looked semi-shocked at her statement.

"Erm… right." The man looked over at his other wizard friends, raising his eyebrows. "You sound like a ruddy stalker is what it seems. What I really don't understand is how you all know this stuff. I really doubt that there were books written about my godson, unless it was written by Rita Skeeter." He growled out the name.

Becca laughed, "Such a puppy, standing up for family. Not that you're a puppy!" Her eyes wide, with her hands excessively motioning. "Grims are the coolest dogs, ever."

"Becca?" Kris started.

"Yep?"

"You're shattering his ego." She glanced at Sirius who seemed deep in thought. "I mean, look at him. He's probably going over every dog he's seen, wondering if he looks more manly than the rest."

"Well, if he didn't growl and yelp so much, I wouldn't have made the analogy. So, it's his fault for bringing it on."

Snape sat down abruptly on a stump. He jerked slightly as Kris slid down next to him. He shifted away, Kris shifted closer. "Will you stop the childish actions?"

Kris smiled. "Nope. Not until you grow up and stop pouting over what Lupin and Sirius did to you."

Becca grinned. "Why did they do that anyway?"

Lupin stood and brushed off his pants. "The man is annoying and rude. Not to mention, cold, angry, sour, crude and explicit. He did not deserve the same freedoms as ourselves."

"So you tied him to a tree? Upside down?" Kris asked sarcastically.

"Precisely. It got him out of our fur-hair." Sirius corrected quickly, looking at the ground and kicking the dirt near him.

Kris and Becca looked at each other and snorted at the same time. "Right, gives "furry little problem" a whole new meaning. Eh Sirius?" Becca said and they laughed harder.

Sirius scoffed as he got up and seated himself as far as he could from the girls. "If I could be a dog right now, I'd bite you."

Kris chuckled. "I wouldn't put that past you Sirius."
