Harry and Y/N were going to Lupin's office. The twins saw him packing his things. "Boys, I saw you coming." He then waved his wand and more of his things were packed. "I've looked worse, believe me."

"Are they sacking you?" Harry asked. "No, I resigned actually." Lupin said. "Resigned, but why?" Y/N asked. "Well, it seems that someone has let loose the nature of my condition. This time tomorrow, the owls will be coming and parents wouldn't want someone like me teaching their children." But Dumbledore said-" Harry began to say, but Lupin interrupted him.

"Dumbledore has risked enough on my behalf, besides I'm used to this sort of thing by now." Lupin said. Harry looked let down and Y/N was irritated. "Why do you two look so gloom?"

"None of it made any difference, Pettigrew escaped." Harry said. "I should have killed him when I had the chance." Y/N said.

"Didn't make any difference, boys, it made all the difference in the world." You uncovered the truth, and saved an innocent man from a terrible fate. It made a great deal of difference." Lupin said.

He then approached Y/N and Harry. "Now seeing as I am no longer your teacher. I feel no guilt what so ever as to return this to you. Now we shall say goodbye for now. You can be sure that we'll meet again, until then mischief managed." Lupin said.

He pointed his wand at the map and it closed itself and became unreadable again. Lupin then grabbed some of his things and began to leave. Y/N grabbed the map and put it in his pocket.

The rest of the year was more relaxed. Lupin's being a werewolf was a hot topic, one that got Y/N in fights with some of the Slytherins particularly Goyle. Defense against the dark arts got cancelled. Y/N summoned a sword for Lupin.

It was a single edge long sword with the blade shaped like a fang and a pair of claws grabbing a moonstone in the handguard. A wolf's head was seen at the butt of the weapon with a larger moonstone in it's mouth.

Ron had to use a crutch to maintain movement for the rest of the year. Mrs. Weasley had mailed to Y/N asking him about the motorcycle, which he told her everything she needed to know.

Mrs. Weasley eventually accepted it, but made some rules for it. She didn't want him flying around the country and not to fly in heavy muggle populated areas. Other than that, he was free to ride.

The dementors we're returned to Azkaban and things were back to normal at Hogwarts.

Harry and Ron were enjoying the rest of the year when Malfoy and Crabbe showed up. "Hey." Malfoy said. "Hey Malfoy." Ron said. "How's your leg, Ron?" "According to Madam Pomfrey I can't walk on it for the rest of the year." "Hopefully it'll be better before you get home." "Yeah, Mum has enough to worry about with Y/N and Percy fighting each other." "Is that normal?" "Yeah, Fred and George love it." The two began laughing.

Crabbe sat down in between Malfoy and Harry. "So, are you guys going to the world cup this summer?" Crabbe asked. "Yeah, Mr Weasley is getting the tickets from Ludo Bagman." Harry said. "Too bad we can't join you. Lucius wants to keep the three of us close." "He's taking Goyle is he?" "Yeah, I'll be surprised if he doesn't find a way to be a git, he's got a talent for that." Crabbe said. Harry nodded in agreement.

"What I don't get is why he has to bring Goyle." Ron said. "It's because he feels like Goyle has proper wizard feelings, if you can believe that, and he wants Crabbe and me to be more like him." Malfoy explained.

A couple of Slytherin students were motioning for the two of them to get a move on. Goyle was on his way. "We have to go, Goyle is coming. Come on Crabbe." Malfoy said. Crabbe nodded "See you guys around." He said to Ron and Harry. The duo waved good bye.

Ginny, Hermione, and Y/N were enjoying some food when Harry and Ron came back. "Hey guys, how's Malfoy and Crabbe doing?" Ginny said. "Well enough, Malfoy asked about Ron's leg and we got to talking about the Quidditch world cup." Harry said.

"I still can't believe that Britain is hosting the cup." Ron said. "And we got tickets." Ginny said, sounding excited. She then hugged Harry. "So when are you going to try out for the Gryffindor team, Ginny?" Y/N asked. "As soon as a Chaser position opens up." She said.

Hermione giggled a bit and watched. Y/N didn't play Quidditch because he thought it would be unfair to whoever he was playing against, and he didn't see himself making a career out of it. She thought he would be an auror.

The train was on it's way back to London with it's passengers. Harry and Ginny were resting, until a rapid tapping sound was heard at the window.

Y/N opened it and saw a small owl enter the compartment. The little animal landed on Ron's good leg and dropped off a letter for him.

Ron
I am sorry you don't have a rat anymore, so as a token of my apology, I thought you would like this owl. He's young and excited, but likeable in his own way.
Sirius

P.S. I am planning on letting others see me farther from Hogwarts, so that should lighten security.

Ron had placed the owl in front of Crockshanks, ever since he found out about Scabbers, Ron was cautious around animals.

"What do you think, is it an owl, or a man?" Ron asked him. Crockshanks rubbed his head into the owl in an affectionate manner, purring the whole time. "That settles it, he's mine." Ron said, making the owl very happy.

The students returned to king's cross and Molly and Arthur were waiting for them.

"Is the motorcycle out front?" Y/N asked Arthur. "Yes, I wanted to give it a shot. You are going to have so much fun, Y/N." He said.

Y/N then greeted Hermione's parents and then everyone returned to the Burrow.
