Edith shifts back. Again. No clue why. She sits up and grunts in pain lifting her shirt up she can see a couple of bruises already starting to form as well as some werewolf scratches but apart from that she isn't that bad. It is still dark which is weird this doesn't usually happen. She gets up the castle is not to far away. So she stumbles to her feet, she doesn't know how long her human form will last.

Harry steps off the hippogriff Sirius behind him. They both walk over to a bend where Harry sits down Sirius kneeling Infront of him.
"I will be forever grateful for this." He says nodding at Harry and Hermione "To both of you"
"I want to go with you." Harry says firmly.
"One day perhaps, but for some time my life will be to unpredictable." Sirius says softly placing both of his hands on Harry's shoulders. "Besides, you are meant to be here."
"But your innocent." Harry begs.
"And you know it." replies Sirius crouching down next to his Godson. "and for now that will do."
Hermione walks off to give the pair some privacy.
"I expect you are tired of hearing this." Sirius says softly taking Harry's cheeks in his dirty hands "But you look so like your father." Harry smiles the only person other than Sirius to have told him this is Edith "Expect your eyes." Causing Harry to sigh.
"I have my mothers eyes." Harry says.
Sirius smiles "It is cruel that I got to spend so much time with Lily and James, but you so little." He smiles. "The ones that love us never really leave us and you can always find them" He says placing his hand on Harry's heart. "In here."
Harry's smile leaves his face as Sirius stands up.
"He is right you know" Edith smiles causing Sirius to spin around.
"Blue." He smiles placing his hands on her face as she wraps her arms around his neck as they kiss passionately. Before placing there heads together smiles evident on both of their faces. "How are you, you?" Sirius asks softly.
"I am not sure. But I am here." Edith smiles pulling away.
"I have to go." Sirius says softly holding Edith's hand. "Come with me."
"You know I want to, but I cannot. Being close to the moon means I go wolf." Edith says her smile leaving her face.
"It is okay." Sirius says lightly squeezing her palm. "I will be at home waiting for you to get back."
He holds her cheek with his palm kissing her lightly on the forehead before climbing on top of Buckbeak and flying away.
"Aunt Edith?" Asks Harry softly from behind the women.
"Yes Harry?" Edith says smiling.
"Can I come with you, next summer?" He asks.
"Sure, I will have to asks Remus when he is human again, but I am sure he won't mind." A howl echoes the grounds as the moon starts to go down. "I better go. Make sure I am with Remus when he wakes up." Edith says running off and shifting into wolf form on her way.
"I haven't ever seen or heard of a wolf-shifter so controlled." Muses Hermione from behind Harry.
"She is a wolf shifter?" Asks Harry.
"Of course." Replies Hermione. "Now come we have to get back." Hermione drags Harry behind her as they race back to the medical room.

Harry walks up to Remus and Edith lounge to find them both rushing around waving their wands and packing things away.
Remus spots Harry while packing away a book "Hello Harry." He smiles closing the book and putting it in his hand luggage.
Edith who dumps her bag on the floor new scratches on her palms. "We have looked worse, trust me." She says now helping Remus pack away the books.
"You have been sacked?" Harry asks.
"No, no. We have resigned actually." Remus says folding some pages.
"Why?" Asks Harry coming further into the room.
"It seems somebody." Remus explains.
"Snivels" Coughs Edith loudly.
"Now, now Edie it could have been anyone, let slip of the nature of our condition." Remus sighs.
"So this time tomorrow the owls will start arriving and parents will not want, well, someone like us teaching their children." Remus says.
"But Dumbledore..." Harry starts.
"Dumbledore has done enough for us. It is time for us to fend for ourselves. " Edith says flicking her wand and everything is packed.
Harry looks down at his feet "Why do you look so miserable Harry?" Remus asks.
"None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped." Harry sighs.
"No difference? No difference. Harry thanks to you my husband is now at home in his favorite Gryffindor jumper reading a newspaper. It made all the difference in the world." Edith confirms.
"It made a great deal of difference to us, Harry." Remus adds.
"Anyway..." Edith says picking up her bag "My offer still stands and Remus agrees so at the end of this school year I will be at the platform waiting for you to arrive and then we will spend the summer playing quidditch hanging out and teaching you how to become a Animagus."
"Edith, you may not teach the boy to become an Animagus." Remus sighs in an annoyed manner.
"But James..." Edith says.
"Would you really think Lily would like it?" Remus asks.
"Fine" Edith sighs but winks at Harry anyway causing him to smile.
"Since we are no longer your teacher, we fill no guilt whatsoever about giving this back to you." Remus says. "So now I will say, see you in the summer."
"Until then." Edith says drawing her wand "Mischief managed." Her and Remus say at the same time and the map folds in on its self.
