Harry walked through the common room to the hallway. He greeted the Fat Lady and went on to the Library. When he got there, he saw Hermione and Ron sitting together on a table, making homework.
"Hey guys, do you want to come with me to my parents," he whispered, not wanting to attract any unwanted attention.
"Oh, hey Harry. Of course we want to come with you!" Hermione whispered back. The two packed their bags and together with Harry, they exited the library. They arrived in the Guest Room Wing and knocked on the 3rd door on the left, Lily and James' room.
"Yes, come in!" They heard from the other side, so they entered. When they saw who were in the room, they were, to say the least, shocked. After all, they hadn't expected to see their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher there.
"P.. professor Lupin..." Hermione stammered. She seemed nervous.
"Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione," their teacher said. Lily saw the children's faces and quickly stood up.
"Oh, Harry, Ron, Hermione," she said while hugging all of them, "you don't have to be nervous. This is Remus, one of your father's best friends."
"You can call me Remus when you are here," professor Lupin told them.
"Okay..." the three of them said, all a bit unsure.
"Anyways, what brings you here?" James asked.
"Can't I visit my parents?" Harry said.
"Well, officially you can't, but since you haven't seen your parents since you were 1, so you can," Hermione said, with a few glares from Ron.
"Hermione, you know that I didn't want an answer," he threw back. The girl just blushed. After that, an awkward silence fell.
After a minute or two, James said something: "Remus, what did you say about Sirius a minute ago?"
"Uhmm, James, I don't think this is the right moment to talk about that. Maybe we should make an appointment for that," he responded.
"Dad, we can just go and come back later, than you can talk to mom and profes... er... Remus in private," Harry said.
"Oh, no, Harry, you don't have to. We can just talk about something else, like your youth. A lot of things happened in a year," Lily said, and so, a conversation started about that one time when James and Sirius stole a motorbike and got chased by muggle police. Little that they knew, just a short distance away, a big black dog was talking to red cat about the best way to get to Harry.
[A/N] Hello, yes, I know, a short chapter, but I didn't know what else to write and it seemed like the right way to end. Sorry!
