Lets add Harry and Remus to the mix, stir and serve…
Chapter Three:
It had been a few weeks now and Jo had not had anyone Apparate into her house. In fact after the last time Severus Snape and Sirius Black had dared Apparate into her house Professor McGonagall had come to visit. Jo liked her, she was formal, nice exactly as she had envisioned the woman. She looked like an old fashioned teacher with her dark hair in a bun, long dark green gown and square glasses with a traveling cloak over all. She had apologized for the bad manners of her colleges and had assured no-one was going to Apparate into or around her house for a mile.
Now weeks later Jo had been out for a walk and saw the largest , most shaggy black dog she had ever seen. He was so huge he was almost as large as a wolf which was big indeed. He had clear gray eyes and whined and whimpered so sweetly and walked up as submissive as a dog could get. She let him follow her home quite forgetting that Sirius Black was an Animagmus and that this is who she was letting into her home. He stayed in dog form and she was none the wiser and so it was that very day as she was taking tea her doorbell rang and she went to answer it.
She saw two men there, the younger of the two had unruly black hair, bright green eyes and she saw a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. The other was shorter with tawny hair with a bit of gray in it, blue eyes one could get lost in, a small mustache with a few scars on his face. Both were clad in muggle attire though she knew they were Wizards. The first one was clearly Harry Potter, but he was not wearing glasses. The second one she knew was Remus Lupin, he just had to be him.
"Hello Mrs. Rowling." Harry said politely. "May we come in?"
"Of course." Jo replied.
"Thank you, and I believe you are owed these." Remus said handing her a large box of Honeydukes chocolate.
"Why thank you Mr. Lupin." She said ushering them into her study.
"I must apologize for Sirius, he can be a bit ill mannered." Remus said.
"Yea he is insane, a great laugh but he should not have stole your chocolate." Harry said.
Both men took a seat and Jo looked them over. Harry looked different without glasses, he still looked like himself but his eyes were so much more intense with out the eyeglasses. He was tall and had filled out and was a strong looking man. Remus was not the weary aged werewolf she had expected. No in fact he looked rested and happy and she wondered about that, had he been cured?
"I am still a werewolf, but I take Wolfsbane every month and an anti-psychotic drug too." Remus replied knowing she would have questions. "It's called Lithium and works very well."
"You know ma'am it was really rather mean to kill off all those people in the books." Harry said. "I know they are your telling of the tale but Sirius by drapery? That was just plain cruel."
"Well he annoyed me." Jo replied.
"I can see, hey what are you doing here?" Remus said to the dog walking into the room.
"He followed me home." Jo said, "isn't he cute?"
"Um that is my godfather." Harry said. "That is Sirius Black, Sirius turn human now."
"Guess that plan is ruined, thanks Harry." Sirius said as he turned human with a small pop.
"You stupid little mutt." Jo said going for a broom. "Now you are dead."
Normally she was a lady but Sirius deserved this. Not for the first time did Harry witness a woman beating the living crud out of his godfather. Sirius howled and whimpered and pleaded as he was hit with the bristles of the broom. Remus laughed and knew Sirius really got what he deserved, he just did not know when to quit.
"So Harry why are you not wearing glasses?" Jo asked after finishing with Sirius and sitting down like nothing had happened.
"Oh I had surgery, magic can fix lots of things but there are medical things that it cannot." Harry said. "Its dead useful for healing bones and speeding up healing of cuts and stuff but things like eyes and organs and stuff its not so good."
"Accept for potions, there are some wicked good potions out there." Remus said.
"Are there ones to help with a man who has been beaten to a pulp with a broom?" Sirius said from the floor.
"Not for you, Severus will not help you." Harry said. "Not after last week."
"Um that was meant for Lucius not Severus, besides his hair was green only for a few hours."
Even Jo had to laugh at that, the snarky potions master with green hair? That was something she thought would be funny to see. Sadly the men did not stay long as Remus and Harry had to drag Sirius off. Remus hit him when he tried to take the chocolate he had left Jo and the men left. Jo started in on the wonderful chocolate and realized it was so much better than many muggle chocolates she got. She now had a new friend by the name of Remus Lupin, too bad he was dead in her books, he was really sweet…
