Aurora Lupin-Black

Chapter 4: Heading Back To Hogwarts ✔✔

It had been a few weeks since Harry had arrived at Grimmaud Place and today we were heading back to Hogwarts, everyone, including Harry, who after his hearing was given a second chance and was allowed to come back.

We were walking through the train station, Harry and I hand in hand, behind Mad-eye and Tonks who kept looking back and winking at me, making me laugh.

Tonks and I had grown closer over the summer and while she was technically my 2nd cousin, I thought of her more of an annoying sister.

"Why does she keep smirking and winking at us?" Harry asked nervously as his grip on my hand tightened alittle.

"My dumb ass dad told her about you staying in my bedroom at night." I shrugged, looking at Harry, who looked at me shocked.

"He knows." He gasped, looking some what terrified.

"Found out last week. He said since he hadn't heard me screaming for a few nights that he was worried, so he came to check on me and found you asleep next to me. Had a word with me the next morning and I explained it was innocent and that having you next to me stopped at nightmares." I explained, as we walked.

"So... he doesn't want to kill me?" He asked sceptically.

"Oh, no he definitely wants to kill you." I joked, smirking up at him, resulting in an eye roll from my boyfriend.

"No, he said he was watching us to make sure there was no funny business, but he could see being next to you helped me sleep, so he let us be."

"Yeah, well, that's good. And the reason Tonks is giving us suggestive looks?"

"She doesn't believe me when I say there was no 'funny business'." I shrugged at him, making him turn a bright red, which only made me smiled more. "Are you embarrassed people thing we have sex?" I asked him, with a raise eyebrow.

"No, I just, I don't want people to think of you like that or that I had pressured you onto something... you know that, we've talked about all this and..."

"And we both agreed neither of us were ready. I know that and I think my dads both can see us sharing a bed was completely innocent, OK. There is nothing to worry about." I smiled and lent up to kiss him, only for us to be pushed apart by a shaggy black dog who huffed as he passed us.

"Is that...?"

"My dad? Uh huh." I nodded, my eyes glued to the dog who ran ahead after being scolded by Mad-eye.

The group of us, including the order Members tasked with escorting Harry and I to the platform, took a detour and followed my dad into an empty room where he was sat with a robe on, Remus in their too.

"What are you two doing here?" I asked as I bounced over and hugged them both quickly.

"Well, we had to see you off didn't we." My dad smiled softly.

"Then why the dog form... you're a free man now right?" Harry asked, looming at my dad confused.

"I am, but there are still people who believe I'm guilty and are still sceptical around me." Dad explained as he sat down.

"Besides, the muggles are still unaware of his innocence, we're just staying out of sight until the Dumbledore says otherwise." Remus continued as he sat beside me.

"I want to give you something... both of you." Dad smiled as he pulled out a folded piece of paper.

A photograph of a large group of people. There was my dads, Mad-eye, Molly and Arthur, Dumbledore and Peter Pettigrew. And...
