Delia's POV-
I looked over at Harry and saw him smiling a real genuine, adorable smile when I saw the clock, "We have to go," Hermione said looking at it as well.
I nodded and grabbed Harry and we ran into Hogwarts and as the clock chimed we got to the doors and saw Dumbledore closing them.
We got towards him right as he turned around, "Well?" He said. "He's free, we did it," Harry said. "Did what?" Dumbledore asked walking to some steps and acting is nothing happened, "Goodnight." Then he disappeared down the steps.
I looked at Harry and Hermione and we shrugged then walked back into the hospital right as we disappeared and saw a confused Ron, "How did you get there?" He asked us, "When I was talking to you there, and now you're there."
"What's he talking about Harry, Hermione?" I asked them. "I don't know," they said smiling. "Honestly Ron, how can somebody be in two places at once?" Harry asked him and I held back a smile and a laugh, but I completely failed and laughed and smiled and Hermione and Harry joined in while Ron was left confused.

Harry's POV- (The Next Day)
By today Ron was better and we all four went back to our regular classes and pretended like nothing had happened, though Ron kept insisting on us telling him what happened.
I had a free time and I walked into Professor's Lupin room when I heard noises from his office. I walked over and climbed up the steps and when I walked in I saw Delia trying to bandage some cuts that Remus had but he was packing up his things.
"Hello Harry," Remus said turning around from the bookshelf. "Harry," Delia said smiling then yanked Remus down into a chair, "Now you move one more time I'm going to tie you down."
Remus just laughed and sat still letting her wrap up his hand and bandage a cut he had on his neck and cheek where I'm assuming Buckbeak had hit him. "Am I done?" He asked Delia who just got done wrapping his arm up by extending the wrappings around his hand, then pulled his shirt sleeve done.
"Yes actually I am," she said smiling. He smiled at her then continued on packing, "I saw you coming," Remus said pointing at the map that was opened up across his desk. He waved his wand and a small box next to me packed itself.
"I've looked worse, believe me," he said to me as he saw me looking at his now bandaged areas. "You've been sacked," I said walking into his office and beside Delia who was helping him pack but looked like she didn't want to.
"No," he said, "No, I resigned actually." "Resigned? Why?" I asked. "I asked him the same thing," Delia said smiling while carrying some books to a bag and I couldn't help but smile at her.
"Well it seems that somebody let slip the nature of my condition," he said. "3 guess's who," Delia whispered while walking by. I smiled at her, "This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving and parents will not want, a uh, well, someone like me teaching their children," he said.
"But Dumbledore......." I began. "He has already risked enough on my behalf," he said zipping up a bag, "besides, people like me are, let's just say that I'm used to it by now."
"There's nothing wrong with you Remus," Delia said smiling at him, "Your perfect just the way you are, and I'd let you teach my kids when and if I had any."
He smiled at her when she walked out, "Too kind for her own good sometimes," he said to me smiling and a wave of his wand a trunk packed itself. "Heard that," she said walking back in with books and papers in her hands.
I smiled at her then turned back to Remus, and couldn't help but feel bad, "Why do you look so miserable Harry?" He asked me. "None of it made any difference," I said referring to everything, "Pettigrew escaped."
"Didn't make any difference?" Remus said, "Harry it made all the difference in the world, you uncovered the truth, you saved an innocent man from a terrible fate, it made a great deal of difference."
He picked his bag up and walked around his desk, "If I am proud of anything," he said laying his wand down and grabbing his jacket, "it is of how much you have learned this year, and now since I am no longer your teacher," he said walking to the map, "I feel no guilt whatsoever about giving this back to you."
He pointed towards the map with his wand, "So now I'll say goodbye Harry, I feel sure we'll meet again sometime, until then," he said and looked towards the map, "Mischief Managed." It folded back up and the ink left the map to where it was blank.
"I'll see you soon Delia," he said to her. She nodded her head and he walked out grabbing a cane. I walked over beside Delia, who was standing by the door and watching Remus leave.
"He shouldn't have to leave," Delia said walking back inside his office and towards her bag, "He knows that when it's a full moon that he needs to leave so he doesn't harm anyone."
She turned towards me, "Snape just had to go running his stupid mouth to everyone," she said walking towards the map, grabbing it then walking to me.
"This is yours," she said smiling. I smiled and took it back, "Now I have to go do something," she said walking around me and out the door.
I stood there for a moment then turned around and walked out the door and saw her already at the desk's.
"Yes Harry?" She said turning around and smiling at me. "Where are you going?" I asked her. She laughed and smiled, "To Professor Dumbledore's office," she said, "Wish to join me?"
I smiled at her and walked down the steps and towards her. She smiled at me and laughed then we walked out the room and towards Dumbledore's office.
