A/N-Well here we go...Chapter 2...The end of this chapter is kind of evil ::giggles:: But being evil is fun! I've left you at a bit of a cliff-hanger just...PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!! I'm kinda building the suspense and torturing Sirius a bit too...Harry is giving as good as it gets...I mean he had to go through a year and a half before he was able to stop torturing himself and leave. So Sirius deserves bit of torture...Anyway before I babble anymore here's the next chapter:

DISCLAIMER: Once again I do not own Harry Potter...and once again I don't want to...

With A Letter Comes Realizations:Chapter Two.

Nick Preston sat behind his desk at St.Mary's High School in San Francisco, California. In front of him was a stack of papers; the history test he had given to his 9th grade students just this morning.

Nick loved his job and his new life. Working with the high school made things interesting;it put things into prospective. The 24-year old sighed. No matter how much he loved his job and his students it didn't make him miss his old life anyless.

Nick stood and walked out of the classroom. Maybe some coffee would stop him from daydreaming...

He walked into the teacher's lounge and sighed. He was the last one here again. His fellow teachers tended to stay no later than 5 o'clock at night while Nick could be there at all hours.

Mr.Preston took the cup of coffee he didn't even remember pouring and walked back to his classroom. He stepped inside the room and sat behind his desk with the cup of coffee in his left hand and a red pen in his right.

He didn't even notice the man sitting at one of the desks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry? Remus Lupin thought as he saw a man enter the room. Remus had thought that Harry was here but thinking it and seeing it were two different things. He just looked so...OLD.

Of course Harry had always looked older than he was, despite his height and even that seemed to have changed.

Remus was quite happy with Harry's career choice. He had always thought that Harry would make a good teacher. And the fact that he had chosen to teach high-school Art History...it was mind-blowing!

But, Remus mused, he wasn't here to find out Harry's career choice.

"Hello, Harry!"

Nick jumped spilling his coffee all over the tests in front of him. He swore as Remus watched amusedly.

"Here," Remus took out his wand and waved it once. The coffee disappeared and Nick's head snapped up. "Remus?" Harry asked.

Remus nodded

"What are you doing here, Remus?"

"Looking for you."

Harry had a confused look on his face. "Well, you found me...Care to tell me why?"

"Sirius." Harry flinched like he'd been physically struck, but as he saw the worried look on Remus' face he quickly grew worried as well.

"Is he alright? Is he sick? Remus, is he alright?"

Remus sighed. "No,he's not Harry. He hasn't been since you left."

Harry let out a breath he didn't even know he'd been holding. "Oh. Is that all? Of course he's gonna be sad Remus. One of his best friends left. He has a right to be sad."

"Harry. It's been five years since you left."

"I am well aware of how long it's been, Professor Lupin." Harry replied icily.

It was Remus' turn to flinch this time.

"He'll get better Remus." Harry spoke apologetically." He'll be better before you know it."

Remus shook his head. "I really don't think he will be Harry."

Harry stacked the test papers. He'd finish them tomorrow. "HeWILL get better, Remus. I'm going home. I need some rest. I have classes tomorrow. And maybe I'll wake up and this will have been a dream. Goodnight, Remus."

And Harry walked out of the room while Remus cursed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius Black jumped up as Remus walked into the living room.

"Did you find him? How was he? What's he doing? Is he working? He is-"

"SIRIUS!" Remus cut him off. "Sit down...I found him." Sirius sat down in his armchair. "He's fine. He looked a little tired but besides that he was fine. He was correcting a test because he's an Art History teacher at a high school in California. He's fine."

"Wait a moment! Harry? MY Harry is a teacher?"

Remus nodded and smiled. "And since when is he YOUR Harry? You haven't even talked to him.." Remus asked.

"Yet. I haven't talked to him yet. You are going to remedy that by giving me the coordinates of this school so I can speak with him...Besides I want to see one of his classes."

Remus looked at him sternly. "He can't know you're there, Padfoot. After class is fine but if he knows you're there he'll run. And no one can catch Harry when he decides to run"

Sirius nodded. That was true enough.. It had taken Voldemort a year to finally catch Harry.

Then again he had lost Harry a day later...it couldn't really be called a catch. More of a temporary capture.

"You can't let him now. Listen to his class...then go down and have the office inform him that someone is there. Don't just show up. Do you have any idea of what you're going to say?"

"I'm just gonna wing it when I get there."

As Remus' expression turned hard, Sirius knew that that wasn't the answer his friend wanted to hear.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr.Preston stood in front of his 11th grade class in his classic lecturing pose. His students sat quietly, respectfully.

Despite the fact that most students don't like their teachers they liked Mr.Preston. They felt he could relate to them. He was, after all, only a few years older than them.

"Today, we will be talking about Leonardo Da Vinci, and the Renassiance(sp?)."

Mr.Preston paced back and forth while speaking. The students were taking notes and listening interestedly.

Unknown to the students and teacher one certain, Sirius Black Mischief Maker extroadinare, was sitting invisibly in the back of the classroom. It was hard for him to sit there and not wreck havoc, but other than that the class was quite interesting. Harry was a good teacher, and he could make the students pay attention with the slightest change in voice tone.

Sirus was so engaged in listening to Harry that he nearly jumped a foot in the air when the bell rang.

'Alright class! For homework go over your notes." The class stood and walked out like a bunch of energetic pre-schoolers.

Harry sat down behind his desk and sighed as he balanced his chair on the back two legs. Sirius walked to his desk and let the invisibilty charm fall.

"Hello, Mr.Preston," Sirius grinned.

furvuslupus-Thanks...I felt a bit bad for doing this to Sirius and Harry but if nothing bad happened there wouldn't be a story...So it kind of had to happen...

Power and Chaos-Thank you...I really am glad that you made me continue writing this...I think it's my favorite of all the stories I've done so far...which isn't really saying much...

KCEstel- I wanted the letter to be a little long...Poor Harry had to put up with the feelings he had developed for Sirius for a year and a half without letting it show. He's so used to keeping it locked up that when he finally has the chance to tell him...or write it down in this case...he beats around the bush a little...

HPandSBbabe-Yes I am evil...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See an evil laugh! Alright...sorry 'bout that....had to get it out of my system...I think that this cliffie is a little worse though...And I went and read It Simply Read...It was great!

gerdnforge-Here's the next update and thank you...I'm glad you liked it.

HoshiHikari-Well we still have one chapter to go after this...and I may write a songfic from Sirius' POV...It would take place during the 5 years that Harry was gone...it really depends on the reaction I get to the end...And the ending of the first chapter was a little sad but it does get better...or does it?

Lady Jillyan Malfoy-Potter-You'll just have to read on to find out...

Well there we go...I will admit that the end of this chapter was a little mean...but keep the reviews coming and i'll have the next chapter out before you know it...And I really do appreciate all the reviews...Thanks...
