After Pomfrey had given Janna a healing potion, stitches and wrapped her hand where she had been caught in the mirror and made the young girl go for a clean, Janna was walking down to the Great Hall, in the portraits Janna passed Snuffles, unbeknown by anyone, was trotting next to Janna, he studied her hand were the bandage was, she must have been terrified of when she stared into that mirror to scurry away from it and not notice she'd cut herself.

The boys noticed Janna was coming towards them, they cleared a spot next to Juno, who was sitting on his own across from Orion and Jake, Janna sat in the space "are you alright now?" Asked Jake, Janna nodded, more focused on her breakfast since the shift had taken so much of her energy.

    "Yeah," Janna realised she needed to cover her tracks "I just hope I don't get sick again"

    "When I get sick my grandma makes soup... You should maybe have some, just in case" Juno said, edging a holder tray of soup, Janna smiled and turned to her bacon and sausages.

   "Thank you but I think I'll have my bacon first" Janna conversed, Juno nodded then went back to a book he was scanning with his finger.

There was a tattering in the rafters, Janna lifted her head and saw a small bluish grey owl landing on the openings of the roof, where the roof showed a clear blue sky with dandelion spores gliding through the air. The owl hopped off his perch and shot through the dandelion air to land at the Gryffindor table, crash landing into a basket of bread and butter.

Janna got up with a few other Gryffindors, the owl was sprawled in the bread, his wings flapped suddenly and he rolled out the basket, taking it with him, he tried to come to Janna but he was then slammed down by the basket which trapped the poor owl. Janna lifted the basket as the students began to disperse uninterested in the clumsy owl. The owl stared at Janna before she lifted him up, his legs dangled from between her fingers.

   "Is this your owl?" Janna asked some of the Gryffindors nearby, the owl hooted at Janna and jerked its head to the bench. As Janna lowered the owl onto the bench he first slipped but gained his balance, Janna let the owl go.

The owl's wings shot out into arms, the feathers turned to fingers and as it turned into a man Janna noted it began to grow teal blue hair. Where Janna had left the owl now sat Teddy, who shook off a few feathers and brushed crumbs out from his hair "bloody hell, that was a flop"

    "Teddy?" Asked Janna, he looked up and grinned "how did you do that?" She then plucked a few feathers from his hair.

   "I took an advanced extra class of metamorphology, it payed off" Teddy sighed as he shook feathers from his robes "Well... Not really"

    "So... You can transform into an owl?" Janna questioned Teddy who's hair colour changed to a mousey brown, he also shrank a bit.

   "Not only an owl, I think I told you" Teddy said as he pulled a few feathers from his shirt "I am a metamorphigus, from my mum as well" he then tightly hugged Janna "I hope you are alright from last night."

Janna wheezed through the bone crushing hug "Yes, but if you keep hugging me I might not be"

   "Sorry" Teddy chuckled, letting go. He quickly ruffled up Janna's hair before pulling out his wand and pointing at his robes "just don't tell anyone I'm here"

   "Why?" Janna asked as Teddy's robes turned into Hufflepuffs robes, he then smiled and turned Janna by her shoulders to point her Victorie.

   "I already passed school, silly goose" Teddy then leaned on Janna's shoulders with his elbows, he rested his head on his hand while watching Victorie "I'm here visiting the most beautiful girl in the world"

    "Me?" Janna smiled humorously, Teddy smirked and patted Janna's shoulders as he walked around her.

    "You're my most beautiful friend with the furry little problem" Teddy explained, Janna frowned at him as she stared up at him.

   "I don't follow" Janna admitted, feeling a bit confused at Teddy's choice of words.

   "You know," he then looked over his shoulders and then leaned to Janna's ear "your wolfish condition" Janna slowly nodded "Yeah, that's what Uncle Harry says dad's friends used say, dad would have to say it was a rabbit he had a problem with at home"

Janna then pursed her lips to hold in a small smile "That's a cute way of putting it"

   "Yeah, you're quite cute yourself" Teddy turned to walk but paused, turning on his heel back to Janna "do you have a rabbit?"

   "No, if I did I would have eaten it" Janna blushed, knowing that was far more true than she wanted to admit.

   "Ooh... Well, I'll have to remember that, I must never turn into any rodent what so ever" Teddy said as though he was taking an oath, walking backwards to where Victorie was sitting with her friends. Janna smiled and sat back next to the boys who watched her.

Orion was the first to talk "Who was that?"

    "That was Teddy, he said hello to me, his dad—I mean—Teddy and I are sort of related..." Janna explained as she saw her plate was empty, next to it was a sleeping Ash who had grease marks on his snout and paws.

   "Really?" Juno asked, watching Janna take a few more pieces of bacon "I didn't think there were still descends of the House of Black, besides you, were running around. Grandma said they were all killed in the battle of Hogwarts"

James leaned in from next to Janna, his freckled nose coming into the conversation "Actually, my dad says that the Potters are also related to the Blacks, and so are the Weasleys and Malfoys... Although I don't see how this Malfoy can possibly be related to Janna"

   "Why?" Janna shrugged, staring up at James "I was nearly placed in Slytherin and my parents were Death Eaters—"

   "Yeah but... You're the last of the real family, and you're a girl. And you're far less cowardly" James muttered, glancing across at his brother who sat at the Slytherin table with Scorpius and Sofia Warren.

   "Who knows, James, I might be cowardly" Janna shrugged, she then lifted a piece of bacon and gnawed on it.

James smirked "you can prove you're not cowardly by going for the Quidditch tryouts next week" Janna stared at him with a mouth full of bacon and eggs "You know you want to prove me wrong"

Janna swallowed her food "Fine" James laughed with delight and ruffled up Janna's hair, she reached up and ran her hand down his hair, he yelped in horror, letting go of Janna's hair, trying to desperately fix his own. Teddy's laugh came from next to Janna, she turned, she saw he had a few lipgloss kisses on his face, his hair was a bit ruffled as well.

   "What did you do to the poor guy" Teddy asked as he sat next to Janna running his fingers over Ash's fur as the ferret slept in a ball of white fluff.

   "I agreed to tryout for Quidditch—"

Teddy jumped with glee "what?! That's fantastic, which position are you aiming for?"

Janna thought, she had read a history book on Quidditch but she could only vaguely remember what the positions were from when Jake explained them "Seeker"

The boys and Teddy laughed happily, he ruffled up Janna's hair "Yes! That's a fantastic idea!" He then pulled Janna into another bone rushing hug "you're going to be a master!"

"Yeah.." Janna said, not knowing what on earth a Seeker was.

Someone behind Teddy cleared her throat, he froze in his hug with Janna who was squashed to his chest, he looked up to see McGonagall staring at him from her spectacles, her mouth was a line as he smiled up at her, one of her eyebrows was lifted.

   "I didn't think you would be back so soon Mr. Lupin" McGonagall spoke, she then smiled "Maybe you want to come back to Hogwarts, I can have that arranged"

   "Umm" Teddy let go if Janna, his hair turned back to a bright teal blue and his Hufflepuff  clothes changed back to his robes, he tripped over the benched but hopped up and rocked on his toes "I don't think that would be necessary, as much as I want to... I might outsmart everyone"

  "Mmhuh" McGonagall nodded, she took Teddy's shoulder, marching away from the place she had found him "I better show you out, Mr Lupin" Teddy waved goodbye  to Janna while glancing over his shoulders as he approached the exit of the Great Hall.

   "Perhaps, I should visit Uncle Harry." Teddy redirected McGonagall to the stairways, away from the front door of the castle "Just to see if he hasn't buried himself in his office or ran into a dragon"
