Harry's POV
Just as Harry was about to throw up a barrier, because the windy air getting too much, the couple were interrupted by his godfather, who was in his dog form. "Did you need something, Padfoot?" the dark-haired teen asked, keeping his arm around Luna, so that he could share his cloak. While the two decided to remain friends, it was comfortable to be in each other's arms to ward off the cold. He wondered how the winters were here and if there would be more moments like this. He just hoped that they understood each other. Maybe it was that understanding that they drew comfort from.
The dog barked and circled around happily. He turned and started back to the Shack.
Harry and Luna sighed, but followed. They had been hoping to spend a bit more time together, but if Sirius was here it might be important. When they made it the Whomping Willow, the male teen froze the tree, and the two went through the tunnel after the dog, who turned into a man upon entry.
"So, what's up?" Harry asked as he guided Luna to a chair.
"Remus wants you to teach him your magic. He spent all night reading the book, and thinks he can do it," Sirius stated, after he regained his glamored form. The two pranksters had discussed it right after Sirius woke, and before Remus slept. The poor werewolf was so tired after a night of reading that he crashed on the sofa. Not even Winky could get him up without taking drastic measures. After a bit of a debate, the dogman and the house elf just left him there.
"Why don't you teach him?" the amnesic asked, looking at the sleeping man on the couch, Merlin's book resting on his chest. He still didn't know what he thought of the man. Everything he said yesterday was the truth. He didn't trust the werewolf. He felt that he had fallen down on his duty as a friend and sort of uncle.
"You're better at it, besides I still don't completely understand the concept," was the answer as the older man made his way to his friend. He had been sleeping all morning, and now it was time to get up.
"Where are the twins?" Luna asked as she looked around the room. Yesterday showed her that there were no ghosts in residence. So, why did everyone think the place was haunted? Were there Chandiers around? They mimicked ghosts. But she didn't see any signs of them. She looked at the sleeping werewolf and it came to her. He went to school here and would need a place to change. Now she understood.
"I told them about a book they could read. We, the Marauders, hid it in the library so that future pranksters could use it." Sirius snuck up on his friend, and yelled in his ear, "Moony, wake up!"
The sleeping werewolf started so bad, he fell off the sofa. "Why did you do that?" he snarled, glaring up at his friend, and wondering what he'd look like bald.
"You slept through the Weasley twins' visit, you lazy git. Now Harry's here to teach you how he does what he does." He waved to the couple in the chairs, who were watching the two grown men act like children.
"Why were the twins here?" the sleep-mussed man asked as he pulled himself back on to the couch. He nodded to Harry and Luna, turned back to his friend, and waited for the answer.
"They're the current pranksters of Hogwarts," Sirius answered, taking a seat next to the rumpled man.
"I knew that. I taught them last year, but why were they here?"
"They also worship the Marauders," came the joyful answer. "I gave them the location of The Book," he added, making both men get wicked grins on their faces
"I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not," Remus said, still grinning, and wondering if the two lookalikes would make good use of The Book.
"Are you two finished? Luna and I wanted to spend a bit of time together," Harry snapped, feeling like an outsider. He'd have to ask the twins what The Book was and see if it was useful to everyone. Though, he was sure if it was then the lookalikes would let them know.
"Don't get huffy with me, Harry," his godfather snarled back. While he felt bad that the boy had amnesia that didn't give him cause to lash out at him. He was still an adult, and Harry a teen.
"Yes, Harry, do try and be respectful," Luna said softly. She didn't want the boy to alienate the only adult he liked.
"Fine," the teen said mulishly, folding his arms and pouting.
"So, do you think you can teach the old man," Sirius asked, looking hopeful. He was hoping that if the two of the most important people in his life spent time together, then they would hopefully start to get along. He hated that they were in conflict… well, Harry was. Remus was more on the edge on what to think about the teen. Still, if they worked together, then they would be better able to get along. With any luck.
"Oi! Who are you calling old. We're the same age, Padfoot," Remus protested, pointing his finger at his friend.
"Yeah, but you've got grey hair, and I look like a dashing young man," was Sirius' reply.
"Listen to me, you mangy cur…" the werewolf started.
"Mangy cur? Have you seen yourself on a full moon?"
"Why I…"
"Luna was the one who taught me," Harry interrupted with a shrug, indicating the blonde. "You should ask her." He didn't want to spend time with the other man, no matter what his godfather wanted, and he could see the hope shining the man's eyes.
"I can give it a try," she agreed serenely. She like Mr. Lupin, he had been a great teacher, and it would be an honor to return the favor. That and she could tell that Harry wanted nothing to do with the werewolf. She agreed in most part, but she would talk to him about it, for Sirius' sake.
"Great," Black said, clapping his hands together, and rubbing them, "let's get started."
Amelia's POV
"Okay, Mr. Snape, I told you that I would listen to you about Mr. Black. Tell me what I need to know," the very worn out Amelia said as she sat. She had been in touch with Waters about the case. She was convinced that Sirius Black was innocent, but she was interested in what the greasy man had to say. This was another case that Cornelius would not control. Not if she had anything to say about it.
"It started in our fourth year…"
