Jack, Amelia and Tyler went to library for their little project and Ginny went to meet Professor Lupin.

Ginny reached Professor Lupin's cabin and knocked twice.
"Come in.", she heard and walked in.
"Good morning, Professor.", she said and he smiled warmly.
"Good morning, Miss Weasley.", he said.
"Sir, why did Professor Dumbledore wanted me to meet you?", she asked.
"Well, have a seat.", he said and motioned her to sit on the chair in front of his table. Ginny followed what he said.
"Thank you.", she said.
"So, Miss Weasley, I heard you have faced something odd last year--"
"I don't need counseling. I am fresh and fine.", she piped in.
"But I need counseling.", he said.
"From me?", she asked.
"Yes, Miss--"
"Call me Ginny, sir.", she said and he chuckled.
"You strongly remind me of someone, Ginny.", he said and shook his head.
"Of whom, sir?", she asked.
"We have plenty of time, Ginny.", he said.
"Professor Dumbledore thinks that I can learn from you.", he said.
"Learn what, sir?", she asked.
"Call me Remus when alone. And learn how to be strong and how to move on.", he said.
"But Remus, why should I help you for free?", she asked and he raised his eyebrow.
"You certainly are something, Ginny. What do you want in exchange huh?", he asked.
"Oh, I will tell you, but now is not that time.", she said and smirked.
"You are just like her.", he said in a low voice.
"I am like who, Remus?", she asked again.

"Sorry, didn't wanted to disturb.", said Harry, who just rushed into Remus' office.
"Not at all, Harry, come in.", Remus replied.
"What happened, Potter? Scared I'll bite you or something?", she asked and he chuckled.
"Sorry, Gin-ny, Ginny.", he said.

Remus smiled at them, both of them reminded him so much of his old friends.

"You two know each other?", asked Remus.
"We are friends.", said Harry.
"Sadly.", Ginny said and wiped a fake tear. Harry fake glared and then laughed.
"You are so much--"
"Okay, Remus. You. Are. Getting. On. My. Nerve! Tell me her damn name!", Ginny demanded.

Harry was shocked by what just happened before his eyes, since when did little Ginny became this aggressive?
"You want Harry to know?", Remus asked.
"I trust him.", she said and Harry smiled at her.
"You remind me of my friend Evans.", said Remus.
"And name?", asked Ginny
"Lily.", said Remus, softly.
Harry was calm, he didn't knew that Lily Evans and Lily Potter are the same person.
"You might know her as Lily Potter.", Remus said and both the teenagers eyes were wide.
"My mom?", asked Harry.
"Yes, Harry.", replied Remus.
"What about her?", he asked.
"Ginny reminds me of Lily.", said Remus. "Just as strong, just as bossy."

Harry turned towards Ginny and was staring at her, trying to see if she looked anything like he imagined his mom to be.
"I will bite you now.", she said and he looked away.
"I guess– I guess I should leave.", said Harry and left the room without listening or saying a word.
"He can be dork.", she said.
"Dork?", he laughed. "He just found out something new."
"Should I talk to him?", she asked.
"No. I will.", he said. "I'll meet you tomorrow."
"Sure, Remus."

Ginny went to the common room and found Jack.
"What ya doing?", Ginny asked.
"We found out something.", Jack said.
"Really? What?", she asked.
"Let's go somewhere private?", he asked.
"Forest?", she asked.
"Yeah."
"Hope to meet Caddy."
"That silly dog? The one you talk to?"
"Yeah."

They walked to the forest and Caddy ran to them.
"You missed me?", Ginny asked and rubbed his head. He barked happily.
"Let's talk.", he said.
"Where are the other two?", she asked.
"They left me alone and went to their rooms.", he said.
"Let's sit.", she said.
They both sat down and caddy lied on the ground next to them.
"What did you guys found?", she asked.
"He doesn't seem like a murder.", he said. Caddy sat straight.
"How?", she asked.
"He have his own detention record with James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.", he said.
"Remus? Professor Lupin?", she asked.
"Yeah.", he said.
"Oh, Remus can help. We had some agreement.", she said.
"What sort of agreement?", he asked.
"I am helping with his problem and he promised to help me with anything.", she said.
"You are great.", he said and grinned.
"Any other thing?"
"He never got a trial."
"Are you kidding me?"
"It was war."
"Still not fair."
"Let's drop this. He can be a mass murderer."
"Exactly. He can be, but it is not sure. He can be innocent as well. He was his best friend."
"Gin--"
"Would you ever murder me?"
"What the hell?"
"They spent seven years together. He won't. Killing two of his best friends and wife of one? Nope."
"Gin, it is different."
"Jackie, please. You know I will do it. With or without you."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I have a feeling."
"Like last year!"
"Jack, I was deserted. I was alone. Now I am not. And this is Sirius Black not Tom."
"Tom was 16!"
"Tom and Voldemort are the same people!"
"WHAT?"
"Tom riddle grew up to be Voldemort."
"You never told me."
"I don't like the fact that my soul was touched by him."
"Ginny, I am sorry."
"No problem. Let's find SB!"
"SB?"
"Sirius Black!!"
"You won't give up?"
"I need to know his story."
"That means you won't."
