Hey sorry about the delay in updating but that's just what college will do to ya!  Okay well am glad you all liked the last chapter and I hope the same goes for this one. Talk 2 ya:)

"Have you told Harry?" Sirius asked with his arms folded staring anxiously at Remus from across the room. Remus who was sitting at his desk with one leg thrown across the other, sat up erect as he sat into his desk, picking up a quill and replying quietly……

"No." He began writing on a spare piece of parchment as Sirius quirked an eyebrow and said….

"Well don't you think that he has a right to know Remus?"

"What is the point in telling him Sirius? He will only become more anxious than he already is…"

"So what we just keep him in the dark about this? Remus James and Lily at least need to know…."

"Of course….."Remus replied looking up briefly….."Let them handle it Sirius…."

"Let who handle what?" Harry asked stepping into the office suddenly. Sirius and Remus stared at him alarmed. Harry gave them a quizzical look before asking…..

"What is wrong with you two?"

"Nothing….."They answered in unison.

"Right….."Harry replied unconvinced as he glanced at them shiftily.

"So Remus……are the rumours true? Are you really staying on here?"

Remus looked up at a smiling Harry and half laughed before saying…..

"News travels fast in this place……yes Harry I am staying BUT I am only teaching first to fourth years. Mad Eye is covering the rest….."

"Mad Eye Moody? How come he is coming here?" Harry asked perplexed sitting opposite Remus.

Remus looked at Sirius uncertain that he'd approve of lying to his Godson. Sirius shrugged so Remus replied….."Moody is coming in order to assist my schedule Harry. As well as that…..Albus felt that the Owl and newt years would benefit more from an experienced auror……"

"You cant do this Remus……you just cant do this mate….."

Harry turned around looking at Sirius perplexed as he asked…..

"Sirius…..this way Remus can balance things……"

"I am not talking about Remus schedule Harry! I am talking about what he is concealing from you….something……significant wouldn't you say Remus?" Sirius asked as he stared at him malevolently. Remus looked at him casually as he replied…..

"Not now Sirius…..we had a deal……"

"No Remus YOU had a deal! I never agreed to anything mate!"

"Sirius what are you talking about? What is Remus keeping from me?"

"Its about Voldemort……."

"Sirius……" Remus muttered cautiously as an angered Harry stared at him.

"What about him?" Harry asked defiantly. Remus sighed as he threw down his quill and rubbed his face roughly. "Remus…..what do you know? Is he back?"

"NO! Harry……its nothing substantial mate. Don't go getting all flustered……"

"I don't know that I actually have a reason to get all flustered Remus since you won't tell me….."

"Its just something Albus said….."

"What did he say?" Remus rested his chin on his hands as he sat into the desk.

"He doesn't know who it is and he has no substantial evidence to back up his theory but…..He feels that……he feels that Peter wasn't Voldemorts sole accomplice."

"So…..he could……he could still come back?" Harry asked apprehensively. Sirius bowed his head as he walked over and placed his two hands on Harry's shoulders as he said…..

"Harry we always knew that this was a possibility mate but hey look…..we have managed fine so far haven't we?"

"That's only because he was biding his time Sirius….."

"No hey Harry look……we will all be here for you if and when he returns….."

"Its not you he is after though……its me….."

"Harry……"

"But I am going to find the bastard first!" He seethed as he jumped off the seat and tore towards the door. Sirius and Remus stared at each other quizzically momentarily.

"Are you happy now?"

"Calm it alright Remus? I know where he will be……" Sirius said as he hurried out of the room.

"WELL I JUST HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT!" Remus shouted but it fell on deaf ears.

Harry sat under the large oak tree by the lake….staring into space. He held his wand firmly in his hand as he hugged his knees closer to his chest. The sound of leaves crackling under someone's feet made his jump up with his wand held erect as he shouted……

"Who is there?" Sirius appeared from around a corner with his hands held up.

"Guilty as charged….." Harry released his grip on the wand as he faintly replied…..

"Oh…….its you." He turned around and sat back down on the grass. Sirius walked past him and sat on his other side as he said……"Nice to know I'm welcome."

"Well what did you expect? I just saw you five minutes ago!" He laughed a little as he said…….

"You are a right sarky git Prongslet!" He ruffled his hair but Harry jolted his head to the side, away from him. Sirius smiled lightly as he clasped his hands in front of him.

"So……what gives?"

"What gives? You know what gives Sirius!"

"Oh Harry mate…….that is only a suspicion….."

"You know Dumbledore better than I do Sirius! He is rarely wrong……about anything."

"So ok lets say that he is right about old Voldie returning to power……so what? He cant touch you. Our homes are protected by the grandest security that magic can provide. Peter is dead…..therefore Voldemort can never know where we live….."

"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES SIRIUS?"

"Harry……"

"I already know that facts. I am not stupid. But just because he cant get me at home doesn't mean I am safe…..its me who he wants revenge on. Not you, not Remus…..me. So just let me deal with it will ya?"

"Let you deal with it? Deal with what exactly? There is nothing to deal with Harry because he is still vanquished. Alright maybe you need to prepare a little….."

"Prepare a little? Sirius……he is the worlds most deranged wizard…..that's what you guys always tell me anyway! I think I need to do more than just prepare a little….."

After a few moments silence Sirius said……..

"Duelling isn't just about getting the first shot Harry. It isn't even about winning or losing. Duelling is the most skilful art of magic. Obviously it helps if you can aim right and you know….survive the ordeal but the one thing you must be completely competent of doing is out smarting your opponent. Being able to not one, not two or three but ten steps ahead of them. Being able to read them; knowing what they are going to throw at you before they verbally do. That is something that no teacher can teach you, that is something you obtain either hereditary or from practice. Fortunately for you, you have the best of both worlds. Don't worry about Voldemort. When the time comes you will be ready for him but for now…..just enjoy life……don't worry about the something that hasn't even happened yet. There is no point mate. Come here." Sirius threw his arm around Harry's shoulder as he embraced him securely.

Well what did ya think? I am not sure if there is an oak tree down by the lake but there is now! Lol! If I am wrong and you know what tree it is……please let me know! Hope ya enjoyed it anyway……talk 2 ya:)
