The return of Remus Lupin.

The group landed outside the gates of Potter Manor. Dobby stepped forward and took hold of Harry and put him down then grabbed his hand and lead Harry to the gate, he then levitated the little boy until he was level with the Potter Crest in the centre of the gate. Dobby then snapped his fingers and Harry's finger was pricked, but the boy felt no pain, Dobby then moved Harry's hand so that the blood hit the Crest.

A bright light filled the space, as the magic flowed into Harry and then the gate snapped open. Harry giggled as he was lowered back down, "fun, fun, again, again," he squealed and clapped his hands together, the pin prick now completely healed. Sirius shook his head and laughed at the little boy's antics, while Draco could be heard giggling behind him.

The trek up the path was a long one, and Sirius couldn't wait until they were keyed into the wards so they could apparate straight into the Manor. By the time they reached the doors, they were all relieved to have made it, besides the two little boys who were busy taking in the surroundings. Dobby pushed open the front doors and walked in with Harry's hand in his.

All, except Dobby, were stunned as they entered the hall to find sixty four house elves standing before them, all wearing uniforms with the Potter Crest proudly displayed on the upper left corner of their tops. As Harry walked up to them, they all bowed low to the ground uttering, "Master." Harry giggled and the elves rose and smiled at their young Master.

One of the elves stepped forward and turned to Dobby, "I is being Dipsy, when we feels the wards shift and Master come home, all the Potter elves were called here, to be meeting Master Harry." She then looked Dobby up and down and frowned before clicking her fingers. Dobby looked down to find himself dressed in a crisp white shirt with a black waistcoat, the Potter crest in the left corner, black trousers, white socks and little black shoes. He looked very elegant for an elf.

"You is to be wearing black, Dobby sirs, to be showing you is the head elf," Dipsy said, "we is to be wearing green."

"How about you show us to a tea room so we can discuss things," Sirius said as he walked forward, and to his great amusement, the little elf looked at Dobby for permission.

"Oh yes, we should be getting some teas for Sirs and some snacks and drinks for Masters Harry and Draco," Dobby said, then he turned to the other elves. "Heads of each property stay, while you be sending the others back to were they are suppose to be," he said, and pops could be heard all round as elves went back to their proper places.

Once the group was settled, Narcissa asked for some parchment and a quill to take notes, as Dobby asked each elf for updates. They found that in the eleven properties that Harry owned, they had twelve elves at Potter Manor, twelve at Lily's Cove, six at the Beach house, four that were to be at Godric's Hollow, but had been moved to Potter Castle when James and Lily went into hiding, twelve at the house in France, and a total of ten in the New York apartments, two for each apartment they owned.

"We should get Godric Hollow repaired, Dobby,," Narcissa said, "also could you ask Lucius to see how each property is being used," she said as she wrote down detailed notes.

"I'm sure he will be looking into that while looking into the other finances, Narcissa," Severus said.

They then spent the next hour listening to the run down on all the properties, and after each elf had given a report they popped off, with instructions that Dobby would be checking in on them and letting them know what would be happening. "Dipsy, please be letting the other Potter Manor elves know that they need to be taking care of Sirs Black and Snape, who will be living here with Master Harry as his guardians," Dobby said as he wiped Harry and Draco's faces after they finished eating. "Please be getting the rooms ready for Sirs and Master Harry," he added.

Dipsy popped away and was back five minutes later, "Dipsy be telling Libby and Libby be doing."

There was so much to consider and achieve, for them all, that time seemed to speed up as Harry, Sirius and Severus settled into their new routines. It didn't take long for Lucius to straighten out Harry's finances, and make sure everything was running smoothly. His own team took over Harry's books and much to Lucius' shock, Sirius asked his team to take over the Black fortune as well, so Sirius could spend his time taking care of his new son.

The paper work for the adoption had come through rather quickly after the reading of the will and was now iron clad. Though Sirius thought it would be best for Harry to keep the Potter name but wanted his own name to be reflected.

So it was Harry James Black-Potter, Heir to the Black line and new Lord Potter, that was sitting in the tea room, one of his favourite places in Potter Manor, being watched over by his Dobby, watching a nervous Sirius pace back and forth.

"Black, cease and desist your pacing, you are ruining a perfectly good, expensive Persian rug," Severus sneered, though there was a twinkle of amusement in his obsidian eyes. They were awaiting the arrival of Remus Lupin, and Severus couldn't contain his enjoyment at seeing the Mutt so out of sorts. "You know the wolf will be only too happy to see you free."

Before Sirius had a chance to answer or throw up on his shoes, Dipsy popped in, "Misters Remus Lupin is being here to see you Sirs," she said as she bowed low.

Harry clapped his hands and giggled before toddling over to Dipsy, calling out "Dipy Dipy, Hawry want cookies pwease." Dipsy ignored the fact that she was to see Remus in and popped out, coming back with a tray of cookies and milk, placing them on the small table and herding Harry over to the chair, sitting him down. "Is there being anything else Master Harry," the elf said, with a smile on her face as she watched her young Master.

All the elves had fallen in love with little Harry in the few weeks the little boy had been there, they even had a soft spot for Draco, who visited often. Harry giggled around a cookie in his mouth and shook his head no, "tank yous, Dipy," he said around his bite causing Sirius to chuckle, along with Dipsy and Dobby and Severus to growl, "Do not speak with your mouth full, Harry."

Harry looked up at Severus, his green eyes, wide and innocent looking, as he quickly swallowed his cookie, took a quick drink of his milk and said "I sowwy, Uncy Sevvy." Severus had to turn away for a moment to compose himself, as a chuckle threatened to leave him at the utterly adorable sight in front of him.

When he could control himself he replied, "That's alright young man, just remember your manners," but couldn't help the small smile that slipped onto his face when Harry smiled brightly at him and nodded his little head.

He was utterly amazed everyday how much little Harry could charm, well, anyone. Even the Goblins loved Harry. They had been back to Gringotts a few times, to finalise paperwork and have a look through the Potter vaults for anything that may have been moved from the houses, and Harry would always hug the Goblins. He had taken a special liking to Griphook, the gruffest of the Goblins by far. So it was a delighted sight when on one visit, Harry had toddled over to the Goblin and demanded to be picked up.

Of course Griphook had denied the request with a scowl, which only caused Harry to giggle, then look up at the Goblin with wide green eyes, and said again, "Up, pwease, Giphoop, Hawry want up." It took Harry twenty minutes of constant persistence and teary eyes before Griphook picked him up and Harry promptly snuggled up to the Goblin, rested his little head on Griphook's shoulder and watched the other Goblins work while playing with the material on the poor Goblin's shirt.

Ten minutes later he promptly fell asleep, a light snore coming from Griphook's shoulder. It really was a sight to see, little Harry snuggled up to a scowling Goblin, who would look down at the boy ever so often and smile, despite himself. It also looked rather funny when the size difference wasn't that different, and it showed the Goblin's strength at being able to hold the boy for so long.

Severus was snapped out of his thoughts by Sirius' voice, "Dipsy, what about Remus Lupin?"

Remus Lupin was pacing the marble hall of Potter Manor, a place he thought he would never see again, everything in the place reminded him of James and Lily. He could smell the scent of his cub strongly, even from where he stood, and the wolf was becoming agitated. Everything he thought he knew, was a complete lie. His mind drifted back to the day he picked up the Daily Prophet and everything he believed was shattered.

He was hoping the tea would warm up his shaking and cold frame, as he sat in his cabin. The full moon was just last night and he was recovering slower and slower after each transformation. He could never understand why other wolves did not experience the pain and tiredness he did, but knew that Dumbledore would have told him if there was anything else he could do to help his condition.

A bird tapped at his window, and Remus groaned as he heaved himself up from the chair to open the window. The bird flew in and dropped the paper on the table, before flying away. Lupin looked at it in confusion, since he never read the paper, and had not ordered one. Shrugging his shoulders he closed the window and walked back to the table. As he went to reach for the paper he noticed a note stuck to the front page and picked it up gingerly.

Mr Lupin,

We thought you might find this edition of the Prophet enlightening.

Remus turned the page over, looking for a signature or anything to tell who it came from. He did not recognised the scent on the paper at all. He sighed softly and sat down before picking up the paper.

As he continued to read, his eyes got wider and wider, and his breathing picked up.

Sirius Black betrayed by Albus Dumbledore

This reporter found out some very interesting information, while digging into the whereabouts of Harry Potter after the one year olds miraculous defeat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. While the world was celebrating to defeat of the Dark Wizard, Albus Dumbledore was plotting to keep The Saviour of the Wizarding World, away from his rightful guardian. It seems that Dumbledore knew that Sirius Black was NOT the secret keeper for the Potter's, but it was none other than Peter Pettigrew, who it turns out is an illegal animagus, his form, I was told by a confidential informant, is of a Rat. Quite fitting, if you ask this reporter, that he be a rat considering he turned on his friends and betrayed them to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

It was told to this reporter, that The Albus Dumbledore, after finding The Boy Who Lived, missing from the rubble of the attack, went to the Ministry and demanded the arrest of Sirius Black. But in the reading of the Potter Will, which this reporter was also informed that Dumbledore tried to block, it was acknowledged that Sirius Black was not the secret keeper and that Albus Dumbledore, knew this the whole time. It was also stated that Albus Dumbledore was to be named from here on out, enemy of the Potter line. To say that we here at the Daily Prophet were astounded at this turn of events was an understatement. We were also informed that Dumbledore wished to place our Saviour with magic hating Muggles.

Muggles of all things.

Sirius Black has been cleared of all charges and is now Harry Potter's legal guardian. It seems that Lord Black is also adopting Lord Potter and this witch has been told his new name will be Harry James Black-Potter. Quite fitting for the Heir of Black and the new Lord Potter.

We will strive to keep the readers informed of any new information in this shocking scandal. I for one am sure to never look at Albus Dumbledore in the same light again.

Rita Skeeter.

Remus crushed the paper to his chest, his eyes turning amber as he growled softly to himself. He needed to find Sirius, he needed to apologise, he needed... he just needed to move.

Lupin was startled out of his thoughts by the popping of a house elf. He looked down at the elf and smiled, despite his roiling emotions. He had always loved the way the Potters took care of their elves, and how cute they all looked in their uniforms.

"Sirs and Master will be seeing you now, please follow Dipsy," the little elf said and turned to walk down the hall. Lupin's heart rate picked up as the scent of his best friend and his cub became more potent. He was startled to smell a familiar scent he had not picked up since Hogwarts. He growled lowly under his breath at the thought of a Death Eater near his cub and quickened his pace, before bursting through the door into the room.

He was about to lunge at Severus Snape but was frozen at the site in front of him. Severus Snape, Death Eater, was knelt down besides his cub, gently wiping crumbs off his face. He then watched dumbfounded as he pulled out his wand and cleaned the crumbs off of Harry's clothes. "Tank you, Uncy Sevy," his cub said and then threw his arms around Snape's waist and hugged him. He was even more alarmed when the Potion Master hugged him back, before gently pushing him away with a small smile on his face.

What the hell is going on, was all Remus could think. He shook his head to clear it, just as his cub started to squeal. "Mooey Mooey, look Pafoo its Mooey," his cub screamed before Lupin found himself with an arm full of Harry. "Hi Mooey," the boy said shyly now he was encased in Remus' arms.

"Hi Cub," the man replied and buried his nose in Harry's hair, inhaling the scent of peace and home.
