"We need to leave," George said." We have nothing left here."

"But we should help Harry," I said.

"Yes, he needs to talk to Sirius so..."

We both sat in silence, thinking about a plan for a few seconds.

"Distract her while Harry talks to him." A voice said, it was a familiar voice. One neither George nor I have heard in a while.

We both turned, and our eyes widened to find Amelia standing there.

"Amelia?"

She gave us a small smile, George stood in shock as I walked over towards her and picked her up in a hug, and spun her around.

"I've missed you," I whispered as I put her down
and George hugged her.

I knew she was alive, I knew it. but what I didn't know was...I wouldn't remember her being here.

"Sirius?"

The man jumped and looked around. It was now Sirius, but Lupin."what are you—what happened, is everything all right?"

"Yeah," said Harry. "I just wondered - I mean, I just fancied a chat with Sirius."

"I will call him," said Lupin. getting to his feet, still looking perplexed. "He went upstairs to look for Kreacher, he seems to be hiding in the attic again."
And Harry saw Lupin hurry out of the kitchen. Now he was left with nothing to look at but the chair and table legs.

He wondered why
Sirius had never mentioned how very uncomfortable it was to speak out of the fire.

His knees were already objecting painfully to their prolonged contact with Umbridge's hard stone floor. Lupin returned with Sirius at his heels moments later.

"What is it?" said Sirius urgently, sweeping his long dark hair out. of his eyes and dropping to the ground in front of the fire, so that he
and Harry were on a level; Lupin knelt too, looking very concerned. "Are you all right? Do you need help?"

"No," said Harry, "it's nothing like that. I just wanted to talk about my dad.."

They exchanged a look of great surprise, but Harry did not have time to feel awkward or embarrassed; his knees were becoming sorer
by the second, and he guessed that five minutes had already passed from the start of the diversion
- George and Fred had only guaranteed him
Twenty. He therefore immediately told the story of what he saw in the Pensieve.

"How come she married him?" I asked miserably. "She hated him."

"Nah, she didn't" said Sirius.

"She started going out with him in the seventh year," said Remus.

"Once James' head deflated a bit," Sirius said.

"And stopped hexing people for the fun of it." Added Remus.

"Even Snape?" I asked.

"Well. Snape was a special case. I mean, he never lost an opportunity to curse James, so you couldn't expect James to take that lying down, could you?"

"And my mum was okay with my dad doing that?"

"To tell you the truth, she didn't know much about it," said Sirius. "I mean James didn't take Snape on dates with her and jinx him in front of her, did he?"

I was still unconvinced, Sirius frowned.

"Look Harry, your father was a good person. And a lot of people are idiots at the age of 15. He grew out of it."

"Yeah, okay." Said Harry heavily. "Just never thought I'd feel sorry for...Snape."

"Now that you mention it, I have to ask. How did he react to you finding out?"

"Harry," Amelia's voice whispered inside my head but I pushed it away and told Remus and Sirius.

"He WHAT?" Shouted Sirius

"Are you serious?" Said Remus quickly.

And they started telling me how they were going to have a talk— blah blah blah.

"Go!" Her voice shouted, but I didn't listen. She wasn't real.

"I can't tell him, he's going to kill me!"

"Harry, listen to me. There's nothing more important than learning Occlumency!" Remus sternly said.

"Okay, okay."

I then hear distant footsteps.

"Is that kreacher?" I asked.

"No, it must be someone on your end.."

That's what Amelia was trying to tell me.. I'm an idiot.

"Now, everyone gets to find out what happens to wrongdoers in my school." Professor Umbridge states.

"You know what," Fred Weasley said, turning to  his twin brother. "I think we've outgrown this full-time education, right George?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking that myself, Fred." said George lightly, a smile on his face.

Before Professor Umbridge could say any words, they pointed their wands up and said," Accio brooms!"

Fred and George Weasleys brooms came flying by and they flew away yelling things.
