Harry Potter Alternate Universe: Year Three

Everyone was sitting in the Great Hall, Harry, Luke and Ron sat across from Hermione, Steph and Becca.

"We have come to an end of another year. The House Cup has been won by, not to my surprise, Gryffindor!" Dumbledore said, Hermione felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Fred smiling at her. She smiled back, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.

"You gunna owl me during the summer?" Fred asked, Hermione nodded. "You better."

Harry and the gang were relaxing in the Gryffindor common room. They were all talking about what they were going to do for the summer.

"Oi, Harry, did you hear?" Dean asked as he walked over to them, anger lining his face.

"Hear what?" Harry asked as he stood up with Luke.

"Professor Lupin is leaving – apparently Dumbledore got a lot of mail about having a werewolf here teaching." Dean informed them furiously, everyone listening wasn't happy with the news at all.

"We gotta see him." Luke said, Harry nodded and the two rushed out. They ran into the DADA room before making their way into the office. Lupin looked up in surprise when he heard them come in.

"What're you doing here?" Lupin asked as the two boys crossed their arms over their chest.

"You shouldn't be made to leave." Luke said, Lupin sighed and looked at them.

"Parents aren't gunna be happy about having a werewolf teaching their children." Lupin said, Luke shot forward.

"Who cares!?! This is not about them, this is about us and I bet you that almost everyone in this school wouldn't care that you're a werewolf." Luke said, surprising both teacher and Harry.

"Yes, as true as that my be, I'm also dangerous – I forgot to take my potion and I could've attacked anyone. In fact, I tried to attack Harry and your sister." Lupin said, Luke looked down.

"Are you sure there's nothing we can do to change your mind?" Harry asked, Lupin smiled softly and shook his head.

"No, I'm sure. Besides, its not like you wont ever see me again." Lupin said, Harry and Luke smiled. "You know I will be visiting over the summer."

"Why don't you just live with us?" Luke asked, Lupin looked at him startled. "I mean, with all the people we're having at our house this summer, we're gunna need a bit of adult supervision."

Harry, Becca and Ron were sitting on one side of the compartment while Steph, Luke and Hermione were on the other side. Harry was looking out the window, he had seen Cho earlier and she had smiled at him. He felt very confused about Hermione and Cho. Becca and Ron were playing Exploding Snap while Steph, Hermione and Luke were talking about something. They all looked up when the compartment door opened. Hermione smiled at Fred and he smiled back.

"I just wanted to say, I hope I see you during the summer." Fred said keeping his eyes on Hermione, she nodded.

"Yeah, we will." Hermione said, Fred nodded and looked down at the floor before looking back at Hermione.

"I'll see you later then." Fred said, Hermione smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, you will." Hermione said, Fred nodded again before closing the compartment door. Harry smiled lightly, at least he wasn't the only one confused here. The door opened again to reveal Draco Malfoy. Becca shot up and hugged him closely.

"I've missed you lot so much this year." Draco said not letting go of Becca. Becca pulled back and Hermione hugged him tightly.

"I thought you guys hated him." Steph said confusedly, Luke grabbed her hand and pulled her over to Draco.

"Steph, this is my cousin and best friend, Draco Malfoy. Draco, this is my girlfriend, Stephanie Blane." Luke said, Steph smiled and hugged him softly.

"If Luke says I can trust you, I can." Steph said at his questioning look, he smiled.

"I better go. I just wanted to make sure everyone this end was good." Draco said, they all nodded.

"So, Malfoy's really on our side?" Ron asked, Becca nodded with a smile. "Whatever."

They all made their way off the train and grabbed their trunks, placing everything on the trolley, they made their way over to the wall and stopped. Fred and George were right behind them. They all took a deep breath before walking through the barrier to greet their parents and guardians. They all walked over to Sirius, Lupin and the Weasleys, who were all standing together.

"Hey guys!" Sirius greeted, the group smiled to themselves. "Arthur just invited us to the Quidditch World Cup this summer!"

"Great!" The group said, glad to spend some time together out of school.

"Um, Mr. Weasley, I understand that I shouldn't be asking you this, but my girlfriend, Steph…" Luke trailed off.

"Don't worry about it, Luke. I'm sure I can get another ticket." Arthur said, Luke smiled and shook Mr. Weasley's hand.

"Thank you sir." Luke said before walking back to Steph. She looked over at her parents.

"Come on, I had to meet your family, now you can meet mine." Steph said with a grin as she pulled him over to her family. "Hey mom, dad, Nate. I want you to meet someone." Her mom and dad smiled while Nate eyed their entangled hands. "This is my boyfriend, Lucas Black. Luke, this is my mom, Lucy, and my dad, Henry."

"Nice to meet you." Luke said with a smile as he shook both their hands.

"Nate, this is my boyfriend, Luke. Luke, my twin brother, Nate." Steph said, Luke held out his hand but Nate crossed his arms over his chest.

"Isn't that weird? We both have twins." Luke said putting his hand in his pocket before turning to her parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Blane, I wanted to ask you if Steph could come over during the summer. A friend of ours has tickets to the Quidditch World Cup and they invited us."

Hermione walked over to Sirius with a shy smile.

"I wanted to thank you, Sirius. For letting me stay." Hermione said, Sirius waved it off.

"No need, really, you can help me get those three in line." Sirius said, Hermione smiled and nodded. "Hermione, I'm really sorry about your parents."

"Its okay." She replied before looking down.

"Your father doesnt know what he's missing." Sirius said with a proud smile, Hermione smiled too. He pulled her into a fatherly hug.

"Hey, dad! Come over here!" Luke called out, Sirius sighed as he let her go and looked over.

"Time to meet the in laws." Sirius muttered, making Hermione smile as he left. Fred pulled Hermione to the side and smiled at her. She smiled back, he couldn't help but notice she had golden specks in her brown eyes.

"Told you you'd be seeing me during the summer." Hermione said, Fred laughed. Hermione bit her lower lip.

"Yeah, as usual you're right." Fred said before hugging her, they both held on a little longer than friends before pulling away. "See you soon."

"You will." Hermione said lightly hitting him on the arm before watching him walk off.

"So, until the Quidditch World Cup." Ron said rocking on his heels slightly, Becca nodded.

"See you then, Ron." Becca said, kissed his cheek and then walked over to Hermione. Ron looked at her confused.

"Alright, lets go!" Sirius exclaimed as they waved bye to the Weasleys.

"Wait, Hermione's parents aren't here yet." Harry and Becca said, Luke and Hermione smiled to each other.

"Yeah, but I'm not living with them any more. Didn't I tell you I was moving in with you?" Hermione asked, Becca flung her arm around Hermione's shoulders.

"This is great! I've always wanted a sister." Becca said as they walked out of the station.
