Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Harry Potter or One Piece. I wished that I did, but sadly I don't. So don't sue me, not worth it.

A loud snapping noise that caused everyone to jump in the air in surprise. Professor Lupin was breaking a huge chocolate bar into smaller pieces and handing them out o everyone. Sammy to do a double take when she saw Ron drooling an ocean at the sight of the chocolate bar. Sammy groaned as she just thought of something.

"What's wrong, Sammy?" Hermione asked when she heard her groan.

"Them three are going to have a sugar high now and they will probably not be able to sleep at all tonight," Sammy said as she pointed to the said three who already ate their chocolate and now was eyeing the chocolate in their hands.

The others realized what she meant and groaned as well. While Professor Lupin looked unsure, but he did noticed that Sammy was rubbing her left arm or so he thought. Thinking that something was wrong with her arm, he asked, "Is your left arm hurting you, Ms. Potter?"

Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Hermione shifted in their seats as they looked to be very uncomfortable. Ben made sure that he looked confused as he should not know anything about her missing arm as they just met. Sabo, Ace and Luffy just ignored them as they were trying to push back the unwanted memories and comfort each other at the same time. Sammy blinked as she responded, "I lost my left arm last year, Professor."

Professor Lupin was taken back in shock, before faintly asking, "How?"

"I had to cut it off when a basilisk decided that I did not need that arm and it ate it after I cut it off as the poison was traveling through it," Sammy explained.

Remus Lupin just stared at Sammy for a few seconds before composing himself and said, "Excuse me, I have to check with the conductor and also see if anyone else needs help."

With that he left the compartment in a hurry and with a lot on his mind.

As Professor Lupin slowly made his way toward the front of the train, he was deep in thought about his dead best friends' daughter that he finally got to meet after so many years. That is one that he regrets was not being in her life sooner. But when his cub came into the compartment, he was stunned at her appearance and not only that, she brought her friends and three boys who were under the age of ten.

Don't get him wrong, he was thrilled to see her again. But she looked completely different from Lily did. Samantha had her hair cut short, while as Lily had kept hers long. They do have the same green eyes; the only difference was that Samantha's has an old, tired look about them even though they are lively looking. It was like she has an old soul in a young body. Samantha has three scars over her right eye, they look old and not recent, but apparently they don't seem to fade like normal scars do. He felt the pang of guilt and pain inside his chest when he saw that.

At first when he saw the small cloak covering her left side, he brushed it off as some fashion statement that young people around her age seemed to obsessed with now days. But later on when she told him that she lost her left arm to a basilisk, he knew that he had to get out of that compartment as soon as possible before he had a breakdown in front of her and beg for forgiveness.

Another thing that he was shocked about was that she has three sons and they all looked to be different ages, so it was very possible that she adopted them, but why do that when she, herself is only thirteen and a kid herself.

When he talked to the Headmaster in his office in the beginning of the summer while Snape was there, he asked the Headmaster about how Samantha was doing. But before the Headmaster as able to answer, Snape snapped at him, "Why do you care about Ms. Potter all of the sudden? You don't even diverse to ask that question when you had the chance to for the last two years. You could have just send her a letter; it wasn't that hard to do. But I should not be surprised as you were always the coward."

Now, Remus doesn't know what to do, he just hopes that she can forgive him and let him have a chance to get to know her and her family.

Finally the Sorting and the feast were finished and it is time for Headmaster Dumbledore to make the announcements. Ben was sorted into Gryffindor, so he can be near his captain. No matter what happened, Shanks will be always his captain even if his captain was reborn as a hot chick.

"Now that we have been all fed, I have a few important announcements to make before we all head off to bed," Headmaster Dumbledore cheerfully said. "As all of you may have noticed that there are three boys, who are younger than eleven, sitting at the Gryffindor table, they will be staying with us as Ms. Potter had adopted them this summer. They are all muggleborn. Please note that if anyone attacks them, Ms. Potter and her friends have the right to defend with any means necessary and also it will be met with a very harsh punishment and if it's a repeated attack by the same person, they will be expelled and their wands snapped. This applies to everyone."

Headmaster Dumbledore continued, "On a happier note, please welcome Professor Remus Lupin to the teaching position of Defense against the Dark Arts. And also, we should welcome Rubeus Hagrid to the teaching position of Care of Magical Creatures."

There was more clapping for Hagrid than for Professor Lupin as the students felt sorry for him, because of the curse on the DADA.

"Now, I believe that I have one more thing to announce, this year, Hogwarts is playing host to dementors and I must warn you now, do not mess with the dementors as they don't care if you are Sirius Black or not, they will attack you." Professor Dumbledore said in a serious voice. "Now, I believe that its time for bed. Off you trot."

With the help of Ron and Hermione, Sammy got her sons to bed as they already fell asleep during the Headmaster's announcements. They followed the directions that Professor McGonagall gave her when she pulled Hermione and Sammy to her office. The boys' room was right next to the third years' dormitories. It was so sweet to see them asleep, by looking at them; you will never know that they were troublemakers as they looked like angels while they slept.

AN: I hope that you all like this chapter. Please review and tell me what you all think of it. Have a nice day, everyone.
