Ch.12 Suspicions HO!
"You really think this guy might be on the dark side Prongs?" Sirius asked.
"There's a good chance isn't there? I mean there is always something up with the DADA teacher's isn't there? I mean the last one turned out to be a daylight Vampire! Remember, Hagrid would always find dead creatures in the forbidden forest…drained of blood. He resigned right before summer hols"
"Just because he was afflicted with a medical condition does not me Prof. Talbot was evil!" Remus piped up in an overly sensitive huff.
"I didn't mean it like that Mooney, I was just making a point that there is always something up with the DADA teachers."
"So what kind of suspicious stuff has this guy done to make us so uneasy Prongsie?"
"Nothing really but the thing is the guy is a perfect stranger, I mean we don't know anything about him aside from what he himself has told us. But I just can't shake the feeling that I really should know him from some where. Plus there is defiantly something about this guy that he's not telling us, and I want to know what it is."
"You know James I get that same air of familiarity from him to it's almost over powering. Like a relative you haven't seen since you where little and for the life of you, you can remember their name or something." Lily said.
"Yeah that's what I'm talking about!"
"He also looks eerily like you Prongsie, so much so it's a little creepy" Sirius chimed in.
"I think there might be something you with that Uncle of his to…Orion was it? Was it just me or did Prof. Patterson look a little panicked for a split second when we asked about him." Remus said.
"Do you think it was really what I suspected about his wife cheating on him while he was at work? And he was just covering up to save himself the humiliation of his wife probably leaving him for an older man?" Lily asked.
"No I've seen those two in Hogsmeade running some errands after we had asked about him and they seemed pretty buddy buddy if you ask me. If Harry suspected something like that then he would have done something about it buy now wouldn't he? " Sirius said.
"There is that Lily, you don't go touching a friends or relieves lady and expect them not do anything about it. Besides we didn't really see any thing that incriminating just them laughing while she cooked something." James said.
"My brain hurts from all this thinking! Plus I'm hungry!" Sirius interrupted
"You're always hungry" Lily said rolling her eyes.
"Quiet you…now I don't wanna be late for lunch come on!"
0000000
"I think your counter part, mum, dad, and Moony Are suspicious of me"
"Why is that? Prongslet?"
"They're asking a lot of questions about me"
"Of course we are…we've always done that. Where do you think you get it?"
Harry narrowed his eyes at his slightly aging godfather and sighed. He hated it when he got dismissive like this it made him careless.
"They were asking about you, you know"
"Me?"
"Yeah they said they saw you during a Hogsmeade trip, or something like that…They where probably spying, but any way they asked about you."
"Yeah if I know my self and your dad at all I say we probably were spying. What did you tell them?"
"I told them Ginny and I look after you because you're our Uncle whose touched in the head…Your Name is Orion buy the way."
"Yeah because that name isn't obvious at all…" Sirius said sarcastically.
"Oi, I think it's a pretty good Lie considering that I had to think it up on the spot!"
"Excuses, excuses Prongslet." Sirius said shaking his head.
"Oh you wanna go over excuses hmm? Let's review some of the reasons you haven't done your homework in the past week. Shall we?"
"Oi! I did that essay on dark objects didn't I?" Sirius said triumphantly.
"You rambled for six paragraphs about the Brudewitch. A sandwich so evil it's quote "only for those with a hunger for insanity. Is made of bread harvested from Satan's wheat filed and baked buy a one eyed mad man, filled with six hundred and sixty-six slabs of cold cuts from an animal with maggots for blood, cheese made from the rancid teat of a fanged cow, sun dried tomatoes, and mustard, Dijon mustard. But no bacon because there is no swine evil enough to sacrifice upon the black alter from with it was constructed."
"I'm telling you the Brudewitch is real!"
"That's very creative Sirius. I have half a mind to give you an O on it just because you obviously put a lot of thought in to it to come up with something like this."
"Why won't anybody Believe me? Not even your dad or Moony Believed me! Probably the only person who did believe me was Reggie and I'll be the first to admit my little Brother was just plain gullible. He'd believe anything. But to back to the point the Brudewitch is real!"
"Sure it is" Harry said wanting to end the conversation. "I was thinking…"
"There's a shock"
"Shut it Padfoot…like I was saying I was thinking that maybe we should start some meddling"
"What do you mean?" Sirius and Ginny Both said as she had just entered the room a moment ago
"Well Sirius you remember when you first saw me in the pub. That's what you though I was doing. You know rearranging events in our favor rather than just taking the DADA post."
"Ohhhh…yeah I totally forgot until about it when Ginny started throwing plates at my head."
"You deserved it"
"Well what if we did do that?"
"How would we go about it though? Just go up to your mum and dad seventeen year old selves and go "Hi I'm really your son from the future and this is my beautiful goddess of a wife who is caring my child i.e. your grand-child…oh by the way this is Sirius when he's old" Ginny said sarcastically
"OI! I'm not old! Now Dumbledore…he's old. And I'm no where near his age…I'm just as dashingly handsome just ask those hot older divorced women, what are they called? Cougars! That's right! Cougars love me and I love them right back. They know what you want and they'll do it. Yeah they'll do what you want. You won't fell clean for a month but it'll be so worth it."
Harry and Ginny just stared at him "You really don't have any inner monologue do you? You just vocalize everything you think."
