Edith Wheeler's life had changed. That was for sure. For one, it was only her and Remus in their house. Two they couldn't get work because of their 'condition' but luckily or not so luckily. Edith parents had died leaving her a fortune for her and Remus to live off of.
Edith misses Sirius every day that passes. The worst part is hearing people talk about him and not being able to shout 'he is innocent' and 'he didn't do that' because where is the proof their proof was Pettigrew and he is dead.
Edith spends allot of time in her wolf form to get away from it all. Remus is taller with a moustache and ragged hair as Edith is about the same just older.
It has been twelve years since the Potters Death. It effected the two that were left together immensely. The Potter's were family and they were betrayed by one of their own. One of the boys they had grown up with. That hurt the most.

Remus Lupin wakes up early and comes downstairs for breakfast his hair a mess and bags under his eyes. There is a fullmoon in a couple of days so it is making him tired. A note left on the side from Edith.
'Gone to the woods, howl if you need me'
Remus sighs going to help himself to some tea. He hears three loud knocks on the cabins front door. He opens it to reveal a old lady in a pointed hat. One that Remus would recognize anywhere.
"Minerva?" Remus asks rubbing his face to make himself more awake.
"Hello Remus, may I come in?" She asks removing the hat from her head.
"Erm yeah sure." The werewolf says letting his old head of house inside.
He offers her tea and leads her to the library where there are many books left on the sides at open pages from Edith.
"I am not sure how to tell you this Remus, but it is better you hear it from me then from The Daily Prophet." Says Minerva sitting in the chair with dignity.
"Hmm yeah what?" Remus asks.
"Sirius has escaped Azkaban, no one is sure how, but he got out." She says calmy.
Remus says nothing letting his mug that Edith had got him for Christmas slip from his hand breaking into may pieces on the floor.
"I understand this is a shock Mr Lupin, but this is not the man you once knew, even if he is innocent Azkaban can drive people quite mad. So I need you and Edith to be on high alert." She says sighing and waving her wand to fix the once broken mug.
"Also where is Edith Wheeler, she still lives here, yes?" She asks putting the books back on the shelf.
"Yeah." Remus says coming out of his half trance. "Yeah I will get her." Remus says opening the front door. Minerva watches from the window as the man walks out onto the grass cupping his hands around his mouth and letting out a bellowing howl.
It takes a few seconds before anything changes. But then this blur of tinted ginger fur jumps out of a bush stalking closer to Remus and then in a snap Edith Wheeler is standing there. In a red jumper and black cargo pants.
The girl walks in looking just as beautiful as she was when she left Hogwarts. She smiles but her eyes look sad. Not the mischievous tint they used to be, the one that had nothing to lose. These eyes belong to someone that has lost everything.
"Minnie!" Edith smiles walking into the library.
"I see your humor has not changed." The old witch smiles happily embracing her past most troublesome student.
Remus leans on the door frame watching with a small smile on his face at their interaction.
"Well I haven't come here for a walk in the woods, although it is quite a lovely area. Edith, I have already told Remus, but since you were so close to him you have a right to know." She starts.
"Please, don't tell me he is dead." The girl gasps absent mindedly playing with the ring on her finger the one he had given her when he proposed.
"No, not dead. He escaped." Minerva says ripping the bandage off.
"Oh." Is all Edith says.
"I have to warn you Edith. He might not be the man you once knew. That place drives people quite mad." She says.
"I know" The girl says a look that no one could read on her face.
"So you promise to not go looking for him?" Ask Minerva.
"I won't" Edith replies quietly.
Remus is quick next to Edith placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder causing the girl to turn to him and give him an uneasy smile.
"Well now that is dealt with I have a preposition to offer you. Dumbledore told me to give you two this." Minerva says handing them two Hogwarts sealed letters adressed to them.
They are quick to open them inside read that same message.
'It is nice to contact my two former students after so long.
Hogwarts is in need of two defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. And I myself cannot think of anyone more fitting then the two of you.
I look forward to hearing your response.
From Dumbledore headmaster at Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry.'
Edith gasps looking at Remus who has a smile on his face.
"What about our Furry issue?" Edith ask straight away thinking about the basics.
"As you know Dumbledore is aware of your furry issues. But says he would like you two to deal with it how you used to. Except this time Remus, we will have someone brew you a wolfsbane potion. So you can control yourself." She says causing Remus' smile to widen.
"What about my godson, I refuse to meet him unless I can tell him I am his godmother?" Edith asks.
"I have spoken to Dumbledore he says that you may tell him. Just not about Sirius." Minerva says.
Edith looks at Remus's smiling face. The smile she has rarely seen since the Potters death.
"Ok yeah. We are in." Edith says relaxing into a smile.
"Are you sure?" Remus asks looking like the boy he once way.
"When else are we going to get this opportunity?" Edith asks lightly punching his arm.
