Bruce Wayne: The Fifth Marauder

chapter 31: Window to the past part 2

Dungeons

"Hey Professor" greeted Harry as he reached the potions classroom

"Oh, Potter" said Snape as he looked down at the teen "not even a year has passed..."

"Yeah, sorry I've been a bit busy. You needed me for something?"

"Yes," said Snape bluntly "I did"

He opened the door to the potions classroom "Come in, I will be there with you shortly"

And so, the oblivios kid entered the class.

Courtyard
With Zatanna having placed a monitoring charm on Harry without him noticing, the three superheroes decided to remain as low as possible so as not to attract unwanted attention towards them. Although they agreed to it some...

Clark sat near the fountain looking through the albums as he desperately tried to remember.

"C'mon there must be something..." he muttered to himself, he was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Diana beside him.

"You should put this thing away" she says "we can't risk someone to notice it"

"I know" Clark sighed "but I need to remember"

"You know that forcing the memories is not good for you, right?" she said sadly

All Clark could do was huff, but put the album away non the less. Diana took pity on him and so suggested an interesting idea "You know, Professor McGonagall , said that some students that studied during your year work here"

Clark rolled his eyes "There's no use, Snape would say anything to me"

"I wasn't talking about Snape..." she said with a sly smile.

Meanwhile in the Forbidden Forest

"Now I'm starting to think that this is a lost cause..." sighed Sirius as he turned back into his human form

"I hate it when you are right..." sighed Bruce with a pensive look "on the bright side now all the animals that are with Hagrid now will definetly tell us once they notice something"

Sirius chuckled "Ironic coming from a person who is usually so gloomy"

Bruce only rolled his eyes at his childishness. Then he was back deep in thought, his mind storming over all the things that were bothering him deep inside. He was like this for a good ten minutes until he asked "Say, what will you do once all this is over?"

"Why such a question all of a sudden?"

"No reason, just answer" said Bruce in an almost defensive manner

Sirius scratched the back of his head "Well...I think that I...maybe try to make a living, or perhaps even go somewhere...anywhere sunny, but I also want to have a few words with Moony but..."

"You are afraid how he will react"

"Yeah... and I'm not sure that it will be a good idea for me to take Harry with me so soon... I love the kid really but..."

"You've been locked up for so long that you want to re-expirience something before jumping into responsibility"

Sirius nodded "Also because I think that Harry needs a guardian that has at least a balance mental state, and I'm afraid I can't fall under that cathegory for now"

Bruce didn't make any signs that he agrees or disagrees with his friend he just remained there looking at the horizon deep in thought.

"And what would you do?" Siriud asked
