LIV. Firebolt

Me and Harry walk into remus's office as I lean against the doorframe.

"Hello Harry, y/n." Remus greets with his back turned as we watch him in confusion

"I saw you coming" he gestures to the map as I nod slowly.

Remus seemed to be a complete mess as he still had some bleeding injured on his face.

"I've looked worse, believe me." Remus laughs as I grin slightly.

"You've been sacked." Harry says as remus shakes his head.

"No. No. I resigned, actually." Remus explains as he tears a piece of paper.

"Resigned? Why?" Harry questions as remus glances back at him.

"Well, it seems that somebody let slip nature of my condition. This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving and parents will not want a, um..." he pauses before continuing, "well, someone like me teaching their children."

"But dumbledore..." Harry starts but was stopped by remus.

"Now that Sirius black is gone, dumbledore wont risk anything for my behalf anymore." He explains as Harry as Harry pauses but slowly nods.

"Besides, people like me are, um... well, let's just say that I'm used to it by now." Remus gives a small laugh as I glance at him.

He flicks his wand as everything packs itself into his suitcase.

"Why do you look so miserable, Harry?" Lupin asks as I glance over at my brother.

"None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped." Harry's mutters angrily as remus stares at him blankly for a second.

"Didnt make any difference? Harry, it made all the difference in the world. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate!" Remus laughs as he shakes his head. "It made a great deal of difference."

He picks up his bag as he walks towards the table and places his wand down.

"If I am proud of anything, it is how much you both have learned this year. Now, since I am no longer your teacher, I feel no guilt, whatsoever, about giving this back to you." He explains as he points towards the open map.

"So now I'll say good-bye, you two. I feel sure we'll meet again sometime. Until then..." he pauses as he looks at the map.

"Mischief managed."

"Harry! Y/n!" I hear neville yell as we walk into the great hall. "Where did you get them?"

"Can I have a go, Harry?" Another gryffindor says as I look at them confused. "After you, of course."

"What are you talking about?" Harry asks as we walk towards where Harry normally sits.

"Yeah, quiet! Let the man through!" Weasley yells as I look at him with an eyebrow raised. "I didn't mean to open it, Harry.... I-It, uh.. it was badly wrapped."

"Uh.. they made me do it!" Ron says while pointing to the twins.

"Did not." They reply simultaneously as Weasley glares at them.

"It's a firebolt, it's the fastest broom in the world." A gryffindor explains as I look at Harry with a smile.

"But who sent it?" Weasley asks as a random gryffindor shrugs.

"This came with it." Hermione says as she holds a hippogriff feather as we share a knowing look.

"There's one on the Slytherin table aswell for y/n..." Weasley mutters, clearly annoyed, as I grin.

———

"Show us what you guys can do!" A gryffindor shouts as the some of the gryffindors and some slytherins run out to the courtyard to watch us test out the firebolts.

Me and Harry get on it as it flies faster than buckbeak into the air.

I let a grin form on my face as I laugh.
