After the great hall incident, Remus had taken Harry back to Gryffindor tower where he was to collect Ron for their punishment. Grinning guiltily at each other as they followed Professor Lupin to the great hall. Ron whispered to Harry

"Have you been crying?" he said eyeing Harry in concern.

Harry smiled at him and shook his head but didn't say anything. Sighing Ron said nothing more until they got into the great hall. Ron let out a great snort of laughter when they entered the great hall and surveyed the mess that had been made causing Professor Lupin to scowl at him.

"I'm glad you find it so amusing Ron. You will find it less funny when I tell you that you're to clean it up without magic," he said sternly.

Rons jaw dropped comically and his ears went red. Harry had to suppress a chuckle at the expression on his face.

"But that will take all day?" exclaimed Ron looking flabbergasted.

"I daresay it will. Perhaps you will remember that next time you decide to play a prank," Professor Lupin crossing his arms and looking down at Ron sternly.

"And you Harry I don't want to hear you've been messing around ok?" Professor Lupin said raising his eyebrows at Harry.

Harry blushed at this and nodded. Ron stared curiously at the two mouth hanging open slightly.

"Right here's mops, sponges, brooms and a dustpan and brush. I expect it to be spick and span by the time I come back in an hour," and with that he turned on his heel and left the hall.

"What did he talk to you about when I left?" said Ron curiously picking up a sweeping brush and sweeping the food debris into a large pile.

"Nothing much," said Harry casually scrubbing at a particularly sticky spot on the floor.

"Not alot? Hey! He didn't umm you know? Did he?" said Ron blushing slightly.

"What? Oh God no," said Harry blushing madly "He hasn't done anything yet, I have to report to him tonight for my punishment," said Harry wincing at the word 'punishment'

"Hey why is he suddenly dealing with your punishments?" said Ron leaning on the sweeping brush and surveying a blushing Harry curiously.

"Well umm you see, he's kind of my guardian now," said Harry wishing the floor would swallow him up.

Ron looked horrified for a moment before grinning.

"Hey that's great Harry, you can finally get away from the Dursleys. But ugh a teacher?" joked Ron

Harry chuckled and pushed Ron playfully.

"At least it isn't Snape," said Harry raising his eyebrows.

"Oh bloody hell that would suck Merlin's saggy left-"

"RONALD WEASLEY IF YOU FINISH THAT SENTENCE I WILL WASH OUT YOUR MOUTH WITH SOAP," Ron turned horrified and came face to face with an angry Mrs. Weasley.

"Oh uh hi Mum," said Ron swallowing nervously "What're you doing here?" though he knew exactly why.

"YOU KNOW FULL WELL WHY I AM HERE RONALD WEASLEY. HOW DARE YOU DO SOMETHING AS CHILDISH AS THIS I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED IN YOU,"

Harry turned round and tried to concentrate on sweeping the food into a bin but drowning out Mrs. Weasleys voice was almost impossible.

"I'm sorry Mum," mumbled Ron blushing to the tips of his ears.

"You will be sorry when I am done with you Ronald Weasley. Lets take this somewhere more private shall we?" snarled Mrs. Weasley.

"But Mum I have to help Harry clean up the great hall," said Ron nervously.

Mrs. Weasley turned to Harry as if only just noticing he was there.

"Oh hello Harry dear how are you feeling?" she said pulling Harry into a quick hug.

"Fine thanks and um" he flashed Ron an apologetic look "I don't mind if you have a word in private with Ron I can manage here." Ron frowned at Harry.

"Thank you Harry," she said softly. She then turned to Ron and grabbed his ear.

"You with me now," she snapped and dragged him out of the hall into the chamber that was next door.

As Harry cleaned he heard the unmistakable sounds of hand meeting bare flesh repeatedly. Blushing furiously Harry started singing loudly to himself to drown out the noise.

"Nice voice Harry," came an amused voice from behind him. Jumping about three feet in the air, Harry dropped the sponge where it landed with a loud splat on the floor and whirled round.

"Oh Uncle Remus it's you," said Harry going bright red once more.

Professor Lupin chuckled and shook his head.

"Sorry didn't mean to startle you. Why were you singing?" he said curiously.

"Can't you hear it?" said Harry incredulously raising an eyebrow at Professor Lupin.

"Ahh I see what you mean Harry," chuckled Remus and with a wave of his wand the sound was gone.

"What did you do?" said Harry placing the mop back into the bucket and sitting down at one of the tables.

"Localised silencing charm, I'm sure you and poor Ron both will be grateful," he said smiling as he sat down next to Harry.

"Yeah uh you know about earlier," said Harry rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Thankfully Remus seemed to know what he was about to say as he held up his hand.

"There is no need to apologise or thank me Harry. Yes i was mad with you but you needed comforting and I was only too happy to oblige,"

Harry blushed again. Merlin I really need to stop blushing like a little girl He thought grimly.

"Oh Harry I have some good news," said Remus smiling kindly at Harry

"Oh?" said Harry curiously turning his head to the side.

"You will be pleased to know that Madame Pomfrey has found a match for you," he smiled.

Harry whooped and wrapped his arms round Remus' neck grinning broadly. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Remus pulled away.

"You've done a good job Harry well done," said Remus smiling down at Harry and indicating at the now clean great hall.

"I'm used to cleaning from my time at the Dursleys," said Harry shrugging indifferently.

Remus' expression darkened for a moment before he forced it back into his usual kind smile as a red eyed Ron exited the charm followed by Mrs. Weasley.

She gave Ron a hug and then smiled fondly at him.

"Don't forget how much I love you Ron," she said softly. Ron blushed and whispered that he loved her back.

Harry got a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach at this and his face dropped considerably. Something that didn't go unnoticed by Remus who smiled kindly at Harry.

After receiving a bone crushing hug from Mrs. Weasley , Harry and Ron went back to Gryffindor tower where they played a game of wizards chess. Ron beating Harry as usual.

Checking his watch Harry's stomach dropped. They were ten minutes late for potions.

"Ron! We've got to go were ten minutes late for potions," exclaimed Harry.

Ron paled and both boys scrambled for the portrait hole. They ran down countless corridors stairs and shortcuts until they finally burst into the potions classroom gasping for breath.

"Well Potter, Weasley how nice of you to join us," snarled Snape "15 points apiece from Gryffindor," Ron scowled at Snape and opened his mouth to say something but Harry stomped on his feet.

"Wise move Potter. Sit down both of you," snapped Snape. Both boys moved gloomily to their seats and didn't speak for the entire lesson both choosing to scowl at Snape instead.

Harry was standing nervously outside Professor Lupin's office, not sure whether to knock or not. How would he punish me? Harry mused nervously chewing his bottom lip. He remembered all too well the last time Remus had punished him and flushed with embarrassment. Not only had he been given a good dressing down but he had also vomited over the poor man.

Steeling himself Harry took a deep breath and knocked.

"Come in," came Professor Lupins cheerful voice.

Harry nervously entered the office and shut the door quietly behind him.

"Ahh Harry you came. Sit down," said Professor Lupin cheerfully from behind the desk, indicating to the chair in front of his desk.

Harry nervously perched on the chair and looked up in the eyes of his Professor.

"Now Harry I expect you know why you're here," said Remus adopting a stern voice.

Harry nodded.

"I would like a verbal response please, Harry," he said sternly.

"Because I blew up all the puddings in the great hall," said Harry nervously, suddenly having a mad desire to laugh.

"And?" prompted Professor Lupin.

"Umm and I could have hurt someone," he said unsurely.

"That's right, Harry you could have done. How would you have felt if you had seriously injured somebody hmm?"

Harry was bright red with shame at this point.

"I would have felt awful, Professor," whispered Harry nervously.

"Yes you would have done, now there is the little matter of your punishment,"

Harry's head shot up a horrified expression upon his face

"But.. but I was already punished!" exclaimed Harry becoming flustered.

"That was a school punishment Harry, you are still to receive a punishment from your guardian who incidentally is me," said Professor Lupin sternly.

"Are you umm going to umm you know?" said Harry anxiously eyeing the chair that had been pulled to the middle of the room.

Lupin paused for a moment before letting out a small laugh. He shook his head and smiled.

"No, I am not, Harry. I will never resort to that!"

Harry breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"What's my punishment?" Harry asked wearily.

"No Hogsmeade visits for the next two visits." Lupin decided, putting his hand to his chin.

Harry nodded and bowed his head, biting his lip in shame. A wave of nausea engulfed Harry but he swallowed it down.

"You're not feeling sick are you, Harry?" Remus joked.

"Not this time," Harry lied.

Remus sighed in relief and moved a hand to card it through Harry's hair. Before he could even stop it, Harry flinched and threw his hands over his head. Remus' eyes softened in pity.

"Sorry, thought you were Uncle Vernon for a minute there."

Remus froze horrified at Harry's admission and then sighing gently he let his hands drop to his side. He opened his arms and offered Harry a soft smile.

"Come here, Harry."

Harry stiffened embarrassed for a few seconds before giving in moving cautiously over to his guardian. He wrapped his arms around his neck and rested his head on his shoulder.

"I will never ever hit you, Harry. I can promise you that!"

"I'm sorry," said Harry lifting his head off Remus' shoulder and looking into his kind eyes.

"You are completely forgiven, Harry," said Remus smiling kindly at Harry.

Harry stood back, wrapping his arms around himself.

"I'm going to head to bed now," said Harry yawning as if to emphasise a point.

Remus chuckled and said "Of course off you go Harry and no more pranks young man," said Remus thought Harry knew he was joking.

"Oh and Harry?" said Remus as Harry made to leave the room. Harry turned to him "Detention every day for two weeks," said Remus sternly

"Yes Sir," said Harry cheekily raising his hand in mock salute before running quickly out of the door chuckling madly.

Shaking his head at the teenagers rapid change of emotions Remus' smiled at himself as he thought how James must be laughing his head off in heaven at Harry's little escapade.

Remus let out a great snort of laughter as the image of Dumbledore with custard in his beard and soon couldn't stop as he realised how alike James and Harry really were.
