Chapter 64: A Meaningful Talk
Over at Hermione's house they were still looking over the things that Hermione and her mother had gotten. Her father was a little confused at all the little clothes, but Hermione explained that sometimes the magical way was always the best.
"But why can't we raise them around Muggles?" her father asked.
"Because that would confuse them," Hermione said. "Don't worry; they'll be by so that you can visit them."
"I hope so."
Later that night Hermione sent a letter off to Harry and Ron (she doesn't know that Ron is dead), telling them that she was alright and that she would be soon back at Hogwarts. When the owl flew off she turned in for the night. That night she had a dream that she was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts and she was talking about the Harpy. She couldn't tell if they were older students or younger.
Her mind then flashed at her yelling at Harry and Ron, telling them that all she wanted to do was tell them that she was pregnant and then she remembered her wedding night and that made her wake up. She looked around and seeing that she was alone, she fell back onto her bed. Why was she remembering these things now and what did they mean for her?

Sirius was allowed to leave the hospital wing the next morning. He didn't see any students up and about so he figured that it was early. He stopped by Remus's office to see how his old friend was doing and saw him getting ready for his three days that he would be out.
"So who takes over your classes?" he asked.
Remus looked up, shocked that he had a visitor.
"Well."
"My wife does," he answered. "But she's at her parent's home and so Dumbledore is taking over."
Sirius said nothing.
"So do you still go to the Shrieking Shack?"
Remus shook his head.
"I transform here," he told him. "Moody is going to place a ward on my door so that no one can come in."
"Well, I'm going to leave," Sirius said. "I've got to talk to Harry about his behavior."
"Good luck."
Sirius nodded and then left.

Harry and Seamus made their way down to the Great Hall for breakfast when Harry noticed someone that he knew shouldn't be there. Sirius was talking to Petunia, who looked a little shaken to see him. He turned to Harry.
"Come over here," he demanded.
Seamus looked at Harry and Harry walked up.
"You and I need to talk," he told him.
Harry said nothing.
"Now," he added.
And he pulled Harry into the room that was used for those that were waiting to be sorted.
"What do you think you were doing trying to kill Snape?" Sirius asked before Harry could speak.
Harry stared at him.
"Oh yes, I forgot," he said. "Some spell went wrong and now I'm back. Now answer the question, Harry."
"He killed my father," Harry said.
"James was a Death Eater," Sirius said. "He got what was coming to him."
Harry went red.
"Look, I know that you're mad, but what Snape did was right according to our law. He rapped Snape's wife and I don't care if I don't like the man, his wife doesn't deserve to be rapped by any Death Eater."
"Well I don't care," Harry snapped. "I can't believe that you would side with Snape."
"I'm siding with Remus and Albus," Sirius clarified. "And I don't have to answer to you. I'm the adult, not you."
And he left, leaving Harry to his thoughts.

Late that night, Moody warded both Severus and Remus's door. Dumbledore had already informed Ginny that she would be taking over her husband's classes and she had agreed to it. As the full moon fell over the windows, both Severus and Remus transformed. Severus screamed as his body changed, contorted, and became what he was supposed to be. A few minutes later the transformation stopped and Severus howled at the moon.
