Harry was ecstatic to see Draco smiling when they met on the platform. "Hey Dray, how was your holiday?"

"Hi Harry, Hi Zana." Draco stroked the cat on the head. "I was decorating, New room. Mom made me Visit my Aunt Androgdma."

"Andromeda, Draco. She's my sister; its only right to visit with her."

"I know mother."

"Ms Black. Have you heard about your cousin?"

"You're asking about Sirius?"

"Yes."

"I've heard Mr Potter." Harry nodded slowly; Narcissa sighed. "I hold a rare belief Mr Potter. I knew Sirius well and only the Imperious Curse would have made him Betray James Potter."

"You're sure?" Harry smiled.

"I wouldn't stake my life on it but yes. Are you Happy now Mr Potter?"

Harry nodded. "You're living in his house."

"That I am."

"Do you like it?" Harry smiled and released all the tension with those few words.

"You could come and visit some time Mr Potter." Narcissa smiled. "I'm sure Draco would love that."

"Thank you Ms Black." Narcissa smiled.

"Well yes Draco any of your friends can come over at Christmas. That nice Muggleborn or the Weasley boy."

"Thank you Mother." Draco hugged her. "We're going to get on the train-"

"Harry! Draco." Ron shouted as He rushed over with the Twins, Hermione and Ginny. "Hey guys!"

"Hey Ron." Harry hugged the closest boy. "You look red."

"We went to Egypt." He told them with a smile.

"Wow. That cool. I've always wanted to go."

"Come on guys let's get on the train." Harry gave his friends a subconscious nudge.

"I'm going to find Gen and Luna." Ginny left with slightly pink cheeks as Harry dragged his friends off. He brought them straight to Remus Lupin with a huge grin. "Harry there's already someone in here."

"I know come on guys." Harry pulled them all to sit down.

"Is he okay?" Hermione asked.

"Just tired. He's just got past his time of the month." Now Hermione eyed Harry judgingly. The train began to roll away. Harry took a huge breath and nudged the man in the arm. Hermione looked outraged. "Excuse me?"

"Hello?" Remus looked up at his lifelong friend. Oh no not James, the boy had Lilys eyes. This was Harry; little Harry.

"I didn't mean to wake you it's just… you look like my Uncle Moony. I just couldn't-" Harry smiled as Remus hugged him; Harry leaned into the hug.

"Hi Harry." The words filled all over Remus. Moony; Uncle Moony.

"Uncle…?" Harry smiled over the shoulder of Remus Lupin; one of his father's best friends. One of his truest allies.

"Yeah. That's me." Harry's eyes became damp at the look of joy and sadness on the Professor's face. "Harry. God you've gotten so big."

"Umm Harry is this the Werewolf uncle you were telling us about?" Draco asked Remus looked down at him.

"Guys this is my Uncle Remus Lupin. Uncle Moony these are my best friends. Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Draco Black."

"Nice to meet you."

"Umm sir, why are you on the train?" Hermione asked.

"I don't like apperating or flooing it makes me really dizzy. So I chose to take the train." Lies from Remus Lupin at least Harry wasnt the only one.

"Are you the new Defense Professor?"

"That's right Miss Granger."

"Really that's amazing." Harry grinned; He had been looking forward this year since he came back. What made it better was he got Eleanor to sign his Hogmead letter. He could go to Hogsmead this year without all the trouble.

He nodded. "Harry how did you know it was me?"

"I just did."

"I barley saw you when you were younger." He told him; Remus spent much of his time working with the order of the phoenix. He tried to see Harry as much as he could but as a werewolf he had skills that other wizards didn't.

"I remember you and my parents and Uncle Padfoot." Harry told him. "I remember the night my parents died. You weren't there. Neither was Uncle Padfood."

"Did you see what happened Harry?" Remus spoke barley breathing.

"Not much, I saw my mother screaming at someone called Peter Wormtail. Saying he betrayed James. My dad." Harry spoke; he had to keep his face serious. He wanted to save his godfather; Remus Lupin would help him.

"Wormtail betrayed them?"

Harry nodded. "That what my mom said. Called him a traitor for turning them over." Harry shrugged.

"Then you-know-who killed her. I think he did anyway. There was a huge green light. I don't remember anything else." Harry shrugged; this was not a lie. Not entirely anyway.

Remus slumped into his place. His whole life had been turned on its head. "Oh Harry you have no idea."

"What?"

"This information means more to me than you would ever be able to understand."

"Oh well you're welcome." Harry wanted Remus to have his best friend back; even if not James. "Do you miss them?"

"Every day more than the last. All of them."

The lady moved in unknowningly. "Hello want something of the trolley?"

Harry brought out his lunch and his money. "Want something uncle?"

Remus smiled. "No, no I'm fine."

"Just a pasty then." Harry picked up some pasties, sweets and drinks before placing some on Remus's lap.

"Thank you Harry but I'm really no hungry." James and Sirius always did the same for him.

"You can save it for later." Harry told him. "I was staying with my gran the weekend and she made me a lunch. Cheese and onion again." Harry smiled and took a bight.

"You have a grandmother?"

"Oh yes, well no. We're not related obviously."

"She's this really nice old lady." Draco told the Professor. "She tried to adopt Harry loads of times. When his aunt and uncle went into prison she tried to keep him."

"I live with the Wood's now but I see gran all the time."

"Why were your aunt and uncle put in prison?" Remus asked as the train groaned to a halt.

"We're stopping?" Hermione wondered as the train became dark.

"Everyone be quiet and sit down." Lupin told them in a harsh voice. "Stay where you are."

"Sir, what's going on."

"They're dementors Hermione." Harry told her in a hushed voice.

"Shouldn't someone use a patronus?" Hermione brought out her wand.

"No… not now wait." Remus spoke carefully.

Everything went ice cold when the dementor floated into the room. Harry held both of his wands and ensured Zana was on the other side of him. Voices flooded his mind.

"Harry No." Hermione's voice.

"Help, Harry Please." Deans voice- much older.

A strangled gasp; Cedric.

"Harry." Ron's week voice.

"Please Harry." Ginny.

"You have your mothers' eyes." Severus Snape.

"Thank you Harry." Luna's last words.

"Harry, Run." Draco's voice begging.

Harry looked over to see everyone stiff and scared; Draco looked on the verge of a panic attack. "Sirius Black isn't here." Harry told them. He closed his eyes and cast his patrouns. The silver phoenix batted its wings at the dementor and it left slowly.

"Yo… you. Harry. Thirteen."

"Yes I can perform a patrouns. So can everyone here."

"How?"

"Harry taught us." Hermione explained. "He's very good."

"But you're all thirteen." The train began to move again.

"It was bloody difficult; it took most of us months to get it right." Ron told the professor.

"I have a secret class." Harry told Remus. "There's a war coming Uncle Moony. I want to be ready. I don't want to die."

"You're so much like your mother." There was silence for a long time.

"Please be nice to Severus." Harry requested. "I'll ask him to be nice back. He's been so great. He's a good teacher but I know you don't like each other."

"If that's what you want Harry." He looked into Lily's eyes. "Here, chocolate should make you all feel a little better."

"Thank you, sir."
