Professor?

"That settles that." I sigh

"You nearly had a heart attack yourself." Remus smiles

"Yes yes I'm jumpy.It happens" I smile

"Could you really do the essay that quickly?" He asks

"Maybe not that quickly." I shrug "I do know a lot about dementors though. Although I didn't know chocolate could help the after effects until yesterday"

"Well I have taught you something haven't I?"

"Yes I'd say you have"

"What's wrong?" He asks

"Just can't really believe this is happening. We won't get into trouble will we?" I ask

"No. The ministry won't give us any trouble. The parents of the other students may if people find out what's really happening." He frowns "but we'll be careful yes?"

"Absolutely" I nod

"You'll be telling anyone about us?" He asks

"I don't think I'll need to. Seeing as Gran's telling my brother and the Weasleys are being informed." I say

Just as I say so the twins burst into the room.

"What the hell does Dumbledore mean?" Fred demands clearly angry

"Fred calm down will you she has the right to date whom she pleases." George tells his brother

"But but a teacher?" Fred stammers.

"Honestly can't you two let it alone?" I ask shaking my head

"As long as your Gran is okay with it it doesn't bother me." George says patting his brothers back  "but Fred here is clearly not happy."

"Fred, honestly you can't be angry. There's nothing to be angry about." I sigh

"After all, the only thing we have is a theory. Not completely conclusive." Remus tells him

"A theory Dumbledore and McGongall agree on. That's pretty conclusive to me." Fred says

"I have to admit that is pretty good evidence." George shrugs

"It's a tricky thing. They agree it shouldn't be dismissed as nothing. You two have done your best to understand everything else. This may just be the one thing none of us understands." I sigh

"She's right Fred. Come on before Lee comes looking for us." George tugs his brothers arm.

Fred still looks angry as George pulls him out of the room.

I pick up my book from the desk and sigh.

"You going to be alright?" Remus asks

"Yeah. I think the worst part is over. I expected Neville to understand better than they did anyway. He's always been a tiny bit better at understanding than them. Guess that's cause he lives with me." I shrug

"Good. I should prepare for Neville's year. They'll be headed my way in the next half hour." He smiled

"What do you have in store for Harry Potter?"I ask looking him in the face.

"Bogarts. I think that's a great way to start off their year with me." He shrugs

"Not bad. Do you think you'll be alright? I mean seeing Harry after so long?" I ask

"I should be alright." He nods

"If you have any problems you can tell me. You're not the only one who can give advice." I say

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you."

"You're welcome." I smile

"Let me walk to you up to the common room?" He asks nodding towards the door

"Okay."I nod
