-How was the audience hagrid?- Hermione asked the huge man who was throwing stones into the lake.

-well, one by one the members of the committee indicated why we were there -he began somewhat dejected- then I had to speak, and I said that buckbeak was a good hippogriff -he said while throwing another rock into the lake- he always cleans his feathers!, and then Lucius Malfoy got up...and imagine what he said! -she told them with displeasure and a tone annoyed by what happened- "buckbeak is a dangerous creature that will kill in the blink of an eye" -he quoted with annoyance

-and what happened? -asked the she chestnut again

-and then lucius asked for the worst punishment...

"They can't fire you" Ron commented.

-no, they didn't fire me... -the man began to sob- buckbeak was sentenced to death...

"Hagrid..." Harry tried to speak.

-no!...I don't want to talk about it now, it's very unfair! -The man said wiping his tears.

-I'm sorry... -Harry spoke

-Yes, yes... I'll have time to cry later... -said the man approaching the shore

"I think we should go back now, Harry," Ron commented in a low voice.

"Yes... in a moment: go ahead, see you later..." say harry with little smile

hermione and ron said goodbye to hagrid and started back to the castle

-Hagrid...can I ask you a question?

-What's up Harry?

-You met Professor Lupine in her student years, right? -asked.

-Yes, that's right, she was one of the best in taking care of magical creatures, and in fact I could say that she was almost the best of her generation, what is your question?

-So... do you know who Remus Lupin is? -at Harry's question the man was paralyzed

-w-who...?- I ask stuttering

-remus lupin -he repeated- he has the same surname as the she teacher, did he know my parents?

-well... I don't know if I'm the one to answer that question, why don't you ask the she teacher?- Hagrid asked with obvious nervousness.

-I don't want to bother her with that...I thought that she and Remus Lupine don't speak to each other anymore, I wouldn't like to bother her.

-Harry, Remus Lupine was... I would say that he was the best student of his generation and... he actually met your parents, he was also a Griffindor, I remember a day when he was prowling along with the others maraud... -Hagrid did an abrupt pause after beginning that word

"maraud what?" Harry asked.

-I shouldn't have spoken! But no...me and my big mouth! -he said starting to go back to his home

-wait!...hagrid...what did he mean to professor lupin?- Harry asked running trying to keep up with Hagrid.

-no harry!, sorry!, but it's none of my business, I'm afraid that if you want more information you'll have to talk to dumbledore or rosemary, they along with sirius black are the only ones who have answers regarding your... question... -stopped again, noticing that he mentioned a name he shouldn't have mentioned

-Sirius Black?, What does Remus Lupin have to do with Sirius Black?

-Nothing! They didn't meet at Hogwarts! no! see you tomorrow harry! -he said as he entered his cabin and slammed the door shut.

...

-calm down harry, I think I didn't understand- Ron complained about Harry's great theory.

"If you say it like that, I don't understand you either," Hermione began.

"I think... remus lupin was professor lupin's brother" -she said making ron make a stupefied face

-brothers?! -exclaimed the girl

luckily there was no one in the common room where they were sitting in a circle on the rug by the fireplace, it was already too late and harry had so many theories that he couldn't wait until the next morning

-for some reason I think he doesn't talk to the teacher anymore, something tells me that he had something to do with sirius black -continued harry

-Sirius Black? What does he have to do with all this?- Hermione asked.

-we know that professor lupine was a friend of my parents, we know that sirius black was too, and if remus was her brother that means that...

-she also knew them, I suppose, but... Why do you want to know more about him? -Hermione asked frowning- you should focus on your own protection from sirius black...

"Well, well... I'd like to find out what Professor Dumbledore and she Professor Lupin are hiding, if I'm alive by the end of this story" Harry said sarcastically, making Ron laugh and Hermione hit him on the shoulder

-don't say those things harry!

-I'm sorry...

...

a couple of hours later everyone was asleep, the night was cold and cloudy, you couldn't even see the moon from the astronomy tower even if you wanted to, harry was sitting on his bed in the "quiet" (except for the snoring of ron and seamus) room he shared with some of his fellow griffindors, he held the map in his hands, eating a cookie while conjuring a lumus with his wand

-ah! OH! Spiders!, there are many ... -rum got up out of nowhere practically asleep scaring harry- spiders ... and they want me to dance ... -he said between his "concern"- I don't want to dance! ...

-Just tell them rum... -I recommend the myopic between amused and confused by the he redhead strange dream

"Yes! ... yes ... I will tell them, I will tell them..." he said wrapping himself up again and falling asleep instantly

Harry continued to look at his map for a few more seconds, after opening a fold he found the footsteps of Argus Filch, the only one who haunted that place late at night, after closing that part of the map and opening another Harry found the name least expected to see...peter pettigrew.

the man who according to professor mcgonagall was murdered by sirius black, instantly stopped eating his cookie and stared intently at the name on the map with an internal war between curiosity and hogwarts rules.

curiosity ended up winning the fight, and Harry quickly put on his shoes and left the common room of his house, griffindor; After a few minutes of walking with the map and wand in hand, Harry was in the corridors following the footsteps of what could perhaps be a ghost, a dead person who appeared in that place, that was the only explanation that the chosen one could to give to that event, each step he took, each frame that required him to turn off the light, he felt that he was getting closer to finding answers, because in the end, all this year that he has been studying has only been questions, but nobody wants to tell him what happens.

and out of nowhere he was already in front of him, the map told him that peter pettigrew was a few steps away, harry's breath hitched, and what remains of his sight sharpened, peter pettigrew on the map was getting closer and closer and harry still couldn't see him, his sight traveled from the map to the corridor, the steps of the "dead" man according to the teacher accelerated...

three meters...

two meters...

one meter...

and just at the moment in which harry thought that he would see face to face with peter, he circled him, or so he showed him the map, harry turned around scared since he couldn't see anything and just when his eyes fell on a mirror His heart stopped for a moment scared by his own reflection, Peter continued his way on the map and Harry couldn't explain what happened.

-Careful boy! -said the man in a painting

-DO NOT DISTURB! Turn that off! -continuous adjoining portrait

-I'm sorry...

when harry turned his eyes to the map he found something that scared him for a moment, severeus snape, professor snape was walking right towards harry, he did not know how to react since the steps were accelerated and the only thing left for him to do it was to close the map expecting the inevitable.

-mischief done. -he said to the map giving it a touch with his wand- nox... -I cast to turn off the light of his wand

-potter!- Snape called, now lighting the tip of his wand with a lumus spell. -What are you doing hanging around the corridors at night?

"I'm a sleepwalker" he said with a rare calm.

-What a great resemblance you have with your father... he was also excessively arrogant... -said the greasy-haired man with an expression of disgust- and he showed off all over the castle

"My father wasn't arrogant...nor am I," the green-eyed one replied with notorious anger at the teacher's words. "Now I'm asking you to please lower yo wand..." -the teacher pointed to him at the height of his face almost as a threat

-Your pockets... -said the man, lowering the wand to the pockets of Harry's sweatshirt, who did not react to the first call- show me your pockets!...

Harry disgustedly pulled the map out of his pocket.

-What is it?

-a scroll...

"Yes? ... open it"- he ordered severely

Harry opened the map with some fear inside him but denoting calm.

-reveal your secrets... -the man conjured with the tip of his wand on the map

the map revealed the ink of it with a few words...

"Read it" I order Harry.

-Messrs...canine, moony, woomtail, padfoot and prongs present...their compliments to Professor Snape and... -Harry stopped reading to try to contain his laughter

-Continue... -Harry looked up and looked at him haughtily.

-and request that you keep your nose away from what you don't care about...

-You are insolent... foolish... -he began furiously but was stopped by a female voice behind him.

-Professor... -I call his attention making the man with black eyes and greasy hair turn quickly

"Wow, lupin, do you take a little moonlight stroll through old times?" -I ask in such a cruel tone that at any other time she would have responded in the same way, but in this case she remained calm at all times

-Harry, are you okay?- Rose asked the near-sighted man, making sure that Severus hadn't unloaded his revenge on the poor teenager. Harry nodded.

-It remains to be seen -he said snatching the map from Harry's hands- I have confiscated a curious artifact from Mr. Potter, analyze it Lupin -he said handing him the "empty scroll"- it seems to be your area of specialty, it is full of...arts dark...

-mmm I doubt it very much Severus, for me it is a parchment designed to insult whoever tries to read it -he said chuckling knowing totally that it is a lie

FLASHBACK...

1977

"Run Rose! ..." Sirius said as he ran at full speed who knows running away from that while Rosemary was sitting in a corridor reviewing her potions notes with her glasses on

-What?, what are you running from?! -I ask Sirius that he was walking away at full speed without answering

rose shook her head and adjusted her glasses to refocus on her own, which was impossible thanks to james who happened like lightning

-James! -I call him and he stumbled when trying to stop, he got up quickly and quickly approached the she redhead with glasses

-Get up! GET UP! RUN! LET'S GO ROSE! -he said pulling her from her arms causing her to throw her parchment to the ground

-James! look what you did! What do you want? Why run? -james turned to see behind him and spoke

-it doesn't matter anymore, forgive me canine, but this time another idiot will have to save you -he commented starting to run back to the direction in which he left sirius

-And what's wrong with this crazy man this time?- She grumbled to herself as she picked up her things.

before he could finish someone else came running, the person he least expected to see running after those insane friends

-Hello... -said Remus stopping trying to pretend normality- can I ask you a q-question?

-Yes rem, what's going on? Why is everyone running?- I ask him with more tenderness than with the rest.

-well... let's say... in the event that james and sirius did something stupid and signed a joke with their names... they would be expelled, right?

-in that... case... I HOPE IT'S HYPOTHETICAL, yes... -she said making a strange face contorting her face- it's a hypothetical case... isn't it?

-well... almost... jamesandsiriussetoffstinkbombsinfilch'sofficeandleftthemapthere- Remus said so fast that she couldn't understand a word.

-what?- Rose asked confused.

-that james and sirius exploded stink bombs in filch's office and left the map there and our names written in paint!- Peter yelled as he ran past them both in the same direction as the other two - and he's coming here! -scream in the distance

Rosemary looked horrified at Remus but at that moment a voice was heard from the other side of the corridor.

-Brats! I'm going to catch them! - it was the raspy and somewhat high-pitched voice of filch

-merlin... run! -said rosemary leaving everything lying and starting to run with remus by the hand- when I find them I'm going to kill them...sons of...TROLLS! Rose exclaimed as she ran

END OF FLASHBACK...

-I suspect this is just a joke -he continued laughing, snape tried to snatch the parchment from her but she stopped him- however...I will investigate his hidden qualities, right?- say in a passive aggressive way - harry, come here, good night... professor snape.

Harry followed the woman who didn't say a word until they reached the DADA room.

-how did you get it? -Rose asked Harry without waiting for him to answer- it was very dangerous and irresponsible not to have delivered it -he said keeping a somewhat strong and worried tone- this in the wrong hands... like in those of sirius black, would be like signing your death sentence harry...

-no... I'm... I'm sorry... -she said looking at rosemary in her eyes, which completely disarmed her, the eyes of her best friend in that child of hers prevented her from seeing him or pull your ears

-Harry, listen to me... -he approached taking the shoulders of the boy- when I told you that you looked like your father... he was telling the truth..., he would have been in this situation, and he was on several occasions, but the point is...james and lily, your parents...gave their lives for you, to protect you, you can't walk the halls unprotected while there's a killer on the loose, not if you want to honor their sacrifice - this time with a soft tone

-I won't do it anymore, I promise...

-well... -she said with a smile- because I won't be able to save you up from snivell... Professor Snape -she corrected once again...

Harry smiled at him walking towards the exit.

-ah! and...don't take shortcuts to the room, I'll see him here if you do -said the woman pointing to the map

-Professor... -Harry called before leaving, making the brown-haired woman turn around- I think the map doesn't always work -rose frowned curiously- someone appeared on the map, someone who is dead...

-who? -asked the woman with curiosity

-peter pettigrew...

the woman was frozen for a moment when she heard the name of her friend, the he friend what sirius black "murderer"

"That...is, Harry that's...impossible..." she denied slowly as her heart sped up.

"That...was what I saw" said Harry trying to decipher Rose's expression "good night teacher..." said Harry with a closed mouth smile before leaving the room

...

the woman's mind began to work on theories and did not stop all night causing her a terrible insomnia that made her get up from her bed, she needed to clear her head, the woman took a coat and left the place where she was staying in the direction of the place that always calm your sleepless nights

FLASHBACK...

1978

rose was at the top of the astronomy tower making a map of the bright stars that night on parchment, she needed to clear her head, in less than a week her student years would end and they had to face a different life, full of dangers and responsibilities, she felt ready, but deep down something told her that the best years of her life were over, and that terrified her.

The redhead was lost in her thoughts, so much so that it wasn't until Remus creaked a board that she didn't realize he was there.

-I'm... sorry, am I interrupting?, because... I can... go -she said feeling that he interrupted her

-no, no, i was... alone...

-thinking?

-Yes... -replied the redhead giving her a half smile that didn't take long to fade due to the thoughts of a minute ago- it's just that... I'm afraid.

Noticing that Rosemary wasn't feeling well, Remus sat next to her and watched her for a moment while she looked at the stars, before speaking.

You don't have to fear...

-I know, but... the world is not the same as before, even here at Hogwarts it feels... different, as if everything was so...

-gloomy...

-I'm afraid of being alone, remus... -she said with tears threatening to come out of her honey-colored eyes

- I can't assure you that everything will go back to normal, or that everything will be fine -Rosemary let out a single tear that Remus hastened to gently dry with his hand- but... I assure you that... nobody will leave you alone, we you have all of us, lily, james, sirius, peter... me, no matter what happens, I'll be by your side- the she redhead with wild hair looked him in the eye for a moment- we'll always be together, that's the promotion that james sells us..., that fool will not let anyone escape his clutches -he said causing a slight laugh in rose- we are a family... no matter what happens... - he said pressing his forehead to rosemary while both they closed their eyes

"You're the only one who keeps us sane, Moony..." Rose commented mockingly, making Remus laugh without opening his eyes.

END OF FLASHBACK...

Upon arrival, he approached the railing, held on tightly to it, clinging to his present so as not to sink into memories and fall into an anxiety attack, he closed his eyes tightly trying to put aside the anxiety that being at Hogwarts caused him, that place for her was practically a well of memories.

while trying to calm down she noticed that the sun was not far from rising, the dark sky now seemed more like a gray thanks to the growing dawn: out of nowhere the rapid steps of an animal were heard, rose turned quickly without being able to see anything, she did not bring his wand with him thanks to the need to flee from the anxiety attack he was about to give him before he got there.

Rosemary began to take short steps towards the inside of that floor, looking for signs of something as her heart raced, these animal steps were heard again and she made the decision to face anything by walking fast to turn it around. "the great rotating artifact of the tower" as james used to call it and seeing behind a column, when she was close to seeing something she heard a meow and immediately knew who it was.

"Merlin! ... Crookshanks, you gave me a good scare" she said taking the honey-colored cat in her arms
