Alright what's happening guys? Thanks very much for the reviews and I am sorry if I disappointed ya in the last chapter but hopefully I can rectify that here! Talk 2 ya later!!:)

Dumbledore studied the face of his former student who sat across from him in his office. He massaged his temple lightly as he stared down at his desk, littered with papers. Remus who was leaning forward in his seat with his hands crossed and facing them diagonally at the ground looked up after biting his lip and said gently…….

"Albus you have to say something. The silence is suffocating me here. I need to hear what you think."

Dumbledore looked back at Remus in dismay as he said……

"How long have you decided on a twelve month term Remus? I was always under the apprehension that you enjoyed teaching the subject. When you accepted this post back in August…..you were most anxious to keep a watch over Harry. Now who do you suppose will do that now?"

"Well he managed fine for the last two years Albus……"

"Remus we both know that this year is the first of many when the signs are growing stronger……"

Remus looked at him quizzically sitting back in his seat and asking……

"What do you mean the signs are growing stronger Albus?"

"The dark side is growing anxious Remus. Peter Pettigrew was just a scapegoat for the inevitable." Albus replied bluntly, leaning over his desk. Blood drained from Remus face as the truth slapped him hard.

"We cannot just sit back and pretend that it will never happen, that he will never return. You heard Peter in the court that day; he will return…..I for one believe him Remus."

"Albus you know what Wormtail was like…..he spoke through his ass half the time!"

"Not this time Remus……"Albus said rising and walking behind Remus. He placed a hand on his shoulder as he said……"This time it's for real. This time Voldemort will return."

Remus contemplated what Albus just said for a few minutes before reluctantly asking…..

"So you don't think that Peter was his solo accomplice?"

"No……no I unfortunately do not Remus." He replied shortly as he sat back down.

"I cannot be sure who is in league with him but one thing is for sure……he is not alone. That is why I need you to stay on Remus. You are the best wizard I know at defence spells. You can teach all of them just that……"

"Albus don't kid yourself! There is only one person you want me to protect here and that is Harry."

"He is extremely significant to Voldemorts return Remus. We have to at all costs keep him safe. He trusts you Remus……they all do. I understand that you are getting married and wish to naturally spend quality time with your wife to be but if I agree to reduce your hours a little…..will you stay on?"

Remus sat back and considered what Albus said. He did love this job and if he had a choice he wouldn't give it up. Yes, of course spending time with Tonks was important but she would be a fully trained auror soon and as a result would have very demanding hours at times. Therefore he decided to have his cake and eat it.

"Okay…..yes Albus I would love to stay on provided we can come to some sort of arrangement."

Albus smiled warmly and replied……

"I am certain that if I were to ask Alastor to take the senior years that he would not object. Perhaps having an fully fledged auror for the fifth owls and newts years would be beneficial to us all? That way….you can still keep an eye on Harry. So…..shall I set the wheels in motion?"

Remus laughed a little before replying…..

"You strike a hard bargain Albus. Yes….we have an agreement."

They both smiled and stood up, shaking each others hands.

Well what did ya think? Hope it was satisfactory and I would like to thank my buddy shaggy for this idea. It was all his doing so thanks man:)
