Halloween Break-in
Peyton's POV
It hasn't been so bad here at Hogwarts. Mum and dad were right, it does feel like a second home. More so then Beauxbatons ever did last year. I've made some amazing friends in most of the houses. I've avoided Slytherin though. Though I have noticed one eying me, when I pointed him out to my cousin Ginny. She told me is was Draco Malfoy, I remember the name Malfoy on the list of names mum told me to avoid. So I have ignored him.
Lessons are going well. I love Uncle Remus' classes. Though I wish I could do Care of Magical Creatures. Snape is a real strict teacher, but he certainly knows what he is doing. I don't know why my cousins and other students dislike him so much. Though from what I've heard, Gryffindor gets most of his wraith. I'll ask mum about it at some point, Snape is around Uncle Remus' age. So they would have been at school together.
Mum has become popular among the students. Along with Uncle Remus. Everyone loves their lessons. Even the occasional boring lectures and tests. Both mum and I write to dad & Aunt Nicole a lot. Unique loves it here, though is not a fan of Ron's rat. Something about that rat gives me the creeps. I think maybe she senses that. Though Unique and Crookshanks get along well, they are always roaming the grounds together.
Anyway, it's Halloween today. Third years and above went to Hogsmeade today. So I decided to visit Uncle Remus with mum. We're in his office and he is showing us the grindylow he'd acquired for his next lesson for his third years. "You and mum truly are the best teachers in the world" I tell him.
"I don't know about that" he says with a chuckle. "Besides, teaching should be fun. Though it will only get harder" he tells me.
"I know" I assure him.
"Remember when we meet?" mum asks him.
"I do" he says with a smile. "I didn't know you were a werewolf yet" he adds.
"You didn't?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
"I knew after the first full moon, there was another one at Hogwarts. But I didn't know who he or she was" he states. "In fact she threw me off the summer before our second year, then told me in second year. Does she still keep a journal of her full moons?" he asks me
"She does" I say with a smile. "Is Snape making you the potion too?" I ask.
"Yes, in fact he should be bringing it around soon" he states.
"I told him to bring mine here also" mum states. We hear footsteps outside. Uncle Remus goes to see who it is. "How is your research going?" she asks me.
"It's going well, I've been studying the potion and have even spoke to McGonagall about it. She thinks it's purely academic though" I tell her. "I was thinking I'd do the leaf and potion over the summer. Then hopefully there will be a storm not long after the start of next year" I state.
"Sounds smart" she says with a smile. As Uncle Remus appears with Harry. "Ah Harry, so glad you're here. But why aren't you in Hogsmeade?" she asks him.
"My uncle never signed my form" he states.
"That won't do, I'll talk to the headmaster and Minerva. Tell them I give my permission" she tells him.
"How would that help?" he asks me.
"Well I don't know if anyone ever told you, but I'm your god mother" she tells him with a smile. "I'm so sorry you had to be raised by your aunt and uncle" she adds.
"I can't believe it, I never knew I had a god parent" he states.
"Makes us honorary siblings" I tell him with a smile.
"I've always wanted a sister" he says with a smile.
"We were about to have some tea, do you wan some?" Uncle Remus asks him. Harry agrees and we all have a nice cup of tea. Harry asks why Uncle Remus wouldn't let him face the boggart. Then told us how he had thought of Voldemort at first, then remembered the dementor on the train. Mum and Uncle Remus were impressed, it meant what he feared most was fear. Very wise apparently.
Anyway, Snape appeared with mum and Uncle Remus' potions for the night. They thanked him and he left. Uncle Remus told Harry both he and mum have felt a little off colour lately. That Snape had made it for them. They drank it all and then told Harry & I to go have some fun as they had some teacher duties to attend too.
Harry and I walked around school together. Getting to know each other better. I told him about my first year at Beauxbatons and he told me about his first two years here. We exchanged some funny childhood memories. Not that Harry had many before school started. When the others returned from Hogsmeade, we had dinner together and they told us about Hogsmeade. It sounds amazing. I wish I was a third year.
