Remus keeping his job

ugh like just imagine if Remus was able to keep his job as the Defense teacher
him staying and teaching Harry old marauder tricks
such as how to avoid patrols
at first Remus is all “Harry, be a good student, you have a lot of potential, do your work”
but with a little bit of coaxing from Harry he soon is teaching him how Filch can’t see as well with his right eye and what charms go undetected from him to slip past
and how Mrs. Norris is a sucker for sugar quills
and then Sirius visiting the pair, staying with Remus in his teacher dormitories so he can get to know his godson
completely under the radar though, Dumbledore’s cool with it though
He’s introduced as Remus’s dogs, Snuffles of course and he gets plenty of attention from students in between classes,
“OH MERLIN AND AGRIPPA IF THAT ISN’T THE CUTEST DOG I’VE EVER SEEN” Lavender screamed as she runs to hug the dog and Parvati keeps scratching his ears, Remus just chuckles
Remus always seems to chuckle when people are very friendly with his dog and the students aren’t quite sure why
Harry and Ron always make fun of him because of it
Sirius being used in muggle studies during the typical pets and pet care chapter and showing off all his tricks
Remus happy because this is James’ son and merlin he had always wanted to watch him grow up
They all walk down to Hagrid’s together for rock cakes and tea sometimes
Remus being the best defense teacher anyone’s ever seen
the class is interesting and interactive and it’s easily everyone’s favorite class, people who don’t even need the class take it always
Dumbledore actually has to move some things around because every student signs up their 7th year even when they don’t have to
but its okay because wow look at Remus’s smile
he never used to smile this much
Sirius also has a chance to get out of the house, out of grimmauld place away from his screaming mother’s portrait
everyone is happy

no wait

Sirius not dying because when Harry has his dream he can just go see that Sirius is with Remus and Harry knows it’s just Voldemort’s tricks
