News travels fast in Hogwarts. Soon everyone knew of Peter, lupin being a wolf and Percy Jackson's engagement. Harry wrote to his family in America about the engagement and percy got howlers in her room.
Meanwhile, Aishi was running through the halls when she heard the news that Lupin was leaving Hogwarts. Lupin's office door was open. He had already packed most of his things. The grindylow's empty tank stood next to his battered old suitcase, which was open and nearly full. Lupin was bending over something on his desk and looked up only when Aishi knocked on the door.
"I hear you coming," said Lupin, smiling. "I just saw Hagrid," said Aishi. "And he said you'd resigned. It's not true, is it?" "I'm afraid it is," said Lupin. He started opening his desk drawers and taking out the contents.
"Why?" said Harry. Lupin crossed to the door and closed it behind Harry.
"No. Last night had accidentally let slipped that I am a werewolf this morning at breakfast."
"You're not leaving just because of that!" said Aishi. Lupin smiled wryly. "This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving from parents... They will not want a werewolf teaching their children, Aishi. And after last night, I see their point. I could have bitten any of you...if you did not give me that potion. That must
never happen again."
"You're one of the best Defense Against the Dark Arts- teachers we've ever had!" said Aishi. "Don't go!" Lupin shook his head and didn't speak. He carried on emptying his drawers. Then, while Aishj was trying to think of a good argument to make him stay, Lupin said, "You saved a lot of lives last night, Aishi. if I'm proud of anything I've done this year, it's how much you've learned and how much you have grown."
"But it's not fair.....please stay Professor"
Lupin threw his last few books into his case, closed the desk drawers,
and turned to look at Aishi. "I am no longer your teacher, so no need to call me Professor. Also here"
He gives her a book with looks like a journal. It had several pictures of her parents in their hog wart years plus notes of her father.
"This is Karan's Journal which he notes anything and everything special in his life in Hogwarts. He gave it to me cause of the useful spells in it and now it's yours" Lupin said. "I have no hesitation in saying that Karan would have been highly
disappointed if his daughter had never gotten it."
Aishi hugged her uncle smiling as tears filled her eyes. "Do you have a place to stay?"
"Not really yet." Aishi immediately wrote an address on a piece of paper and gave it to him. " This is where I live. You can stay there...please uncle moony. "
"I will see...I have to also keep an eye on your uncle Padfoot." He said, " Then uncle Padfoot can come to stay there too please!"
"You truly like Karan." He chuckled as he messed with her hair.
There was a knock on the door. It was Professor Dumbledore. Lupin held Aishi's hand tightly knowing he should never leave Aishi alone with this man.
"Your carriage is at the gates, Remus," he said. "Thank You, Headmaster." Lupin picked up his old suitcase "Come Aishi you can drop me off at the carriage."
They both left the office and headed to the gates of Hogwarts and there was a carriage waiting for him
"Well -- goodbye, Aishi," he said, smiling. "It has been a real pleasure teaching you. I feel sure we'll meet again soon"
"See you soon Uncle Moony!" Aishi said as the carriage left. Aishi looked at the carriage sadly before feeling a hand on her shoulder as she saw Krishna next to her.
"Do not worry they will come soon. It will be summer when it happens." Krishna said
"Really?" Aishi asked "Really...now come on....time for lunch," he said leading her back and as she went up the stairs.
Something stirred in Aishi's memory. Greater and more terrible
than ever before... Her prediction!
" Khanna, my prediction came true last night but we caught the traitor....but what about the last line....the real prophecy is found in the protecor house. Which protector...who is it?"
Krishna just smiled. " they are closer than you think.....part of your bloodline. But anyway You did a very noble thing, in saving
Pettigrew's life."
"But what if he escapes the cause of him" "Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent that man a deputy who is in your debt... When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates
a certain bond between them... and I'm much mistaken if he wants his servant in the debt of Aishi Merha."
"I don't want a connection with Pettigrew!" said Aishi. "He betrayed my parents!" "This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Aishi. But trust me... the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Pettigrew's life."
Aishi couldn't imagine when that would be. Krishna looked as though he knew what Aishi was thinking.
" Your heart is strong and pure that save even bad people. I believe this is your third life debt. "
"Third life debt? Who else has I life debt to me?" She asked
"The first is Sanjiv. You broke him free of the Manipulation and then there was Pucey of course when you saved him from Buckbeak of course"
"Better not tell Harry," Aishi said
As the end of term approached, the days went smoothly while Puecy was furious about Buckbeak and seemed outraged that he and his father had been outwitted by a woman no less.
Even though Percy Jackson took over the lesson well with Samuel (aka Reggie). The golden group certainly wasn't the only one who was sorry to see Professor Lupin go. The whole of Harry's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was miserable about his resignation.
"Wonder what they'll give us next year?" said Seamus Finnigan gloomily. "Maybe a vampire," suggested Dean Thomas hopefully. It wasn't only Professor Lupin's departure that was weighing on Aishi's mind. He couldn't help thinking a lot about her prediction. She kept wondering where the protector house could be...it got her deep thinking. Krishna hinted it was close to her...close to her bloodline. What did it mean?
The exam results came out on the last day of the term. The gang had passed every subject with flying colours. Sanjiv scored top for his O.W.L. getting all twelve. Percy threw a small party and Sanjiv was super red the whole time as he never got such celebrations for what he called a small achievement.
Percy Weasley had got his top-grade N.E.W.T.s; Fred and George had scraped a handful of O.W.L.s each. Hufflepuff House, meanwhile, largely thanks to their spectacular performance in the Quidditch Cup, had won the House championship for the third year running. This meant that the end-of-term feast took place amid decorations of canary yellow and black and that the Hufflepuff table was the noisiest of the lot, as everybody celebrated that night.
As the Hogwarts Express pulled out of the station the next morning, Hermione gave others some surprising news."I went to see Professor McGonagall this morning, just before breakfast. I've decided to drop Muggle Studies."
"But you passed your exam with three hundred and twenty per cent!" said Theo. "I know," sighed Hermione, "but I can't stand another year like this one. That Time-Turner was driving me mad. I've handed it in. Without Muggle Studies and Divination, I'll be able to have a normal schedule again."
"I still can't believe you didn't tell us about it," said Ron grumpily. "We're supposed to be your friends." "I promised I wouldn't tell anyone till I told Aishi," said Hermione.
"You need that break...plus I have a feeling that might be more useful for us. Thank god Professor let us keep it. "Aishi said. Percy Jackson had gotten McGonagall out of the manipulation and McGonagall immediately vowed to help percy while hating Dumbledore for what he did to her. She pretended to give back the time turner as hermoine secretly kept it before giving it to Aishi disguising it as a simple necklace.
"So," Blaise said, "ready for the holidays?"
"Yeah, I've been thinking about them too," said Ron. "You all to come and stay with us. I'll fix it up with Dad, then I'll call you. I know how to use a fellytone now --""A telephone, Ron," said Draco. "Honestly, you should take Muggle Studies next year...."
Ron *ignored him. "It's the Quidditch World Cup this summer! How about it, Guys? Come and stay, and we'll go and see it! Dad can usually get tickets from work." This proposal had the effect of cheering Harry up a great deal.
"No luck with me....my dad might also get me there" Draco said " I hope he would change. It slow cause of the antidote but surely there"
"I think my uncle Shiva and Grandad might be interested to come as well...."Aishi said " But they might kill me first at seeing me," Harry said
" Also before summer end, it will be your mum's wedding!" Blaise said. "I am designing our pre-, wedding and post-party outfits. I am so inspired by the culture"
"As long as I can dance in it," Aishi said making Harry mind go crazy thinking about it. " You broke your boyfriend" Sanjiv jokes as he pets Topaz.
Soon they all played in several games of Exploding Snap, and when the witch with the tea cart arrived, they bought themselves a very large lunch, though nothing with chocolate in it till Aishi got dessert.
But it was late in the afternoon that something interesting came. "Harry," said Hermione suddenly, peering over his shoulder. "What's that thing outside your window?" Harry turned to look outside. Something very small and grey was bobbing in and out of sight beyond the glass. He stood up for a better look and saw that it was a tiny owl, carrying a letter that was much too big for
it.
The owl was so small that it kept tumbling over in the air, buffeted this way and that in the train's slipstream. Harry quickly
pulled down the window, stretched out his arm, and caught it. It felt
like a very fluffy Snitch. He brought it carefully inside. The owl dropped its letter onto Harry's seat and began zooming around their compartment, apparently very pleased with itself for accomplishing its task.
Hedwig clicked her beak with a sort of dignified disapproval. Topaz was twisting curious. Crookshanks sat up in his seat, following the owl with his great yellow eyes. Ron, noticing this, snatched the owl safely out of harm's way. Harry picked up the letter. It was addressed to him. He ripped open the letter, and shouted, "It's from Sirius!"
"What?" said the others excitedly. "Read it aloud!"
Dear Harry,
I hope this finds you well before you reach the station. I have gotten to Potter Manor long ago and my hunt for me is cleared. I will be meeting you at the station with your mom, moony and your soon-to-be dad.
I even hope to meet little Shiva again since I heard he is raising Aishi. I remember how adorable he was younger and quite clumsy. We might meet at the station again. He was considered the younger brother of the marauders and looked up to me in my way for fashion and style. I wonder what he is doing now.
"Hundred per cent my mama pulled it off" Aishi giggles.
There is something I never got around to telling you during our brief meeting. It was I who sent you and Aishi the Firebolt --
"No way Ouch!" Ron said as The tiny owl, now hooting happily in his hand, nibbled one of his fingers in what it seemed to think was an affectionate way.
Crookshanks took the order to the Owl Office for me. I used your name
but told them to take the gold from my own Gringotts vault. Please
consider it as thirteen birthdays' worth of presents from your
godfather. That includes Aishi as I too owe her thirteen birthday gifts.
That made her smile as she placed her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.
I would also like to apologize to Aishi for the fright I think I gave her that
night last year when she left the house. I had only hoped to get a glimpse of you before starting my journey north, but end up unexpectedly seeing her and scaring her. I also apologise for pretending to be a lost dog...I didn't expect her to reach out and end up taking care of me. She has a heart of gold just like her parents.
Also, I have a surprise for her once at the station as an apology gift which she will never return. See you all there.
Sirius
He looked back at Sirius's letter. "Hang on, there's an RS...."
I thought your friend Ron might like to keep this owl, as it's my fault
he no longer has a rat.
Ron's eyes widened. The minute owl was still hooting excitedly. "Keep
him?" he said uncertainly. He looked closely at the owl for a moment;
then, to Harry's and Hermione's great surprise, he held him out for
Crookshanks to sniff.
"What do you reckon?" Ron asked the cat. "Definitely an owl?" Crookshanks purred. "That's good enough for me," said Ron happily. "He's mine."
Everyone laughed as soon they arrived at the station. They got their things and headed through the gate. They saw Percy, Krishna, Samuel, Sirius and Remus waiting for them even Professor Snape.
Aishi, Harry and Sanjiv hug the adults before saying bye to their other friends promising to meet at the World Cup. They headed back to Potter Manor as Shiva told percy he would be late to pick up Aishi as he had to take her grandfather for a medical checkup for his Britain citizenship.
They all enjoyed a nice evening and soon Shiva arrived and entered the manor. Aishi ran to her uncle and hugged him.
"Sorry I was late kiddo" Shiva said "Grandpa needs rest from a long day at the doctor's"
"It is okay...." Aishi said "I was hanging out with my other godparents.." "Oh who are they? I didn’t know Karan had magical godparents for you. Except Snape...he told me last year when we met."
"It's them" Aishi points to Sirius who just came into the room with Remus holding a large basket. Shiva immediately reacted and pointed the gun at him.
" WOAH WOAH! WHO THIS CRAZY WITH THE MUGGLE WAND?!" Sirius freaks hiding behind a chair as the other comes into the room. Percy immediately went to Shiva side. " Stop stop! He is innocent...Sirius is innocent"
"Innocent?" Shiva said "him but he..." "Peter is the culprit and he is alive. We arrested him and he is in the dungeons of the manor. He is the real person bringing the Potter's death and the Merhas " percy said, " Put the gun down....there are children here especially her."
Shiva looked at her then Krishna who nodded softly and put his gun down. "How?" "Your niece and her friends had a surprise visit from this dog and a map helped....we explain later more."
"Okay, will someone tell me who is this man who just tried to kill me with a muggle wand?" Sirius said. "This is my uncle Shiva. Dad's younger brother." Aishi said
" HUH?!? "Sirius said shocked even Remus was speechless. "I know right" Snape said "Shocked me too" Sirius just took out a photograph and looked back and forward from the photo to the man.
" no way its him" " Dogbreath its me dumbass i grew up" Shiva said "Its him" Remus agreed. " But he was just this 13 years ago?!" Siruis shows a younger pic of Shiva.
(19 year old Shiva)
(Current 32 year old Shiva)
Everyone looked at the picture and looked at shiva. "Your uncle has a glow up" Harry said "He did look like that when i was 4 after that he grew out his hair." Aishi said
"Damn..." Sanjiv said. Then the slience was broken by a bark. They all looked at Siruis "not me.....this guy" he opened the basket on the table and out popped a....
" PUPPPYYYYY!!!" Aishi grabbed the little fella and hugged him. " I felt bad since she lost a chance for her own pet." Sirius said " So i got him with Regulus help from the black wildframs. He is shadow wolf a signature animal of the blacks. "
" oh my god" Percy said " a sunshine girl gets scary animals as pets" " Yeah and a scary boyfriend" Sanjiv points at Harry " I will hex you bitch" He said " Try it midget" "I am only a head shorter smartass"
"BOYS BEHAVE!" "Sorry mum"

"It was actually the potions...."

" Also This is my half brother Nico Di angelo and his husband Will Solace Di Angelo"
"Huh? We have a half brother?" Sirius said shocked " No i have....Turns out i have a third birth parent "

"You broke him" Nico said holding up a marker " Draw on his face?"
"Nico!" Will said
