I'M BACK!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! So I thought I'd post this so there wasn't that big of a gap in-between stories. I really hope you like this. It turned out to be only five chapters, one less than the first year. The third is almost done and is at the sixth chapter, and I'm hoping to get to seven, but we'll see!

Enought babbling.

Harmony said good bye to her house mates the morning they were to leave for summer break, giving both Cedric and Hermione an extra long good-bye. She watched them get into the carriages to go to the train station...then she was alone. Well, not alone, but the only person who was her age.

Sighing, Harmony walked back inside the castle and to the room that her she and godfather were sharing. It was a tad bigger than last summer, seeing as Sirius' friend - Remus Lupin - would be arriving in a few days to stay for a few weeks.

When she arrived in the living room Sirius was sitting on a plush chair flipping through a magazine, he looked up and smiled. "There you are." He threw the magazine down on the table as he stood up. "We have to go." Then he walked to the fireplace.

Harmony raised an eyebrow. "Why? Where?" she asked.

Sirius didn't answer for a moment, then he slowly turned around. "To the Dursleys," Sirius practically spit the name out. "Dumbledore was going to go and tell them that you wouldn't be staying with them ever - thank god! - but I asked if I could go with you. I want to exchange a few words with them."

Harmony's breath had stopped short at the word Dursleys. She didn't want to see them for the rest of her life. The first ten years of her life had been hell with them. They had starved her for a week at a time when she did something wrong, while she hadn't be physically abused by them if not for a few times, her cousin Dudley and his friends' favorite past time had been 'Harmony-bird hunting.'

Sirius must have noticed her face pale because he crossed the room and pulled her into a brief hug. "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to worry; you will never have to stay with them again. Believe me; I have some things to say to them about your upbringing." Harmony nodded slowly.

The pair floo-ed to the Leaky Cauldron then Sirius flagged down the Knight Bus - that was almost worse than floo travel.

Finally they arrived in front of Number 4, Privet Drive - the one place that Harmony never wanted to see again. Sirius walked up to the door, determined, while Harmony dragged her feet after him. He rang the doorbell and the door opened to reveal Aunt Petunia looking just the same as Harmony left her almost a year ago.

"Yes, what is it?" she snapped.

"Hullo to you too, Petunia," said Sirius with a raised eyebrow. Petunia looked confused and was about to open her mouth again when Sirius cut her off. "I'm Sirius Black, we've meet before had James and Lily's wedding, I was the best man -" The moment her sister was mentioned Petunia turned white. "I'm also Harmony's godfather." Sirius gestured toward Harmony, who Aunt Petunia noticed for the first time. She'd seen more loving looks from Draco Malfoy sent her way than the one her aunt was giving her.

"You are not welcome here, girl, and neither are you Black. You are just like - her - and I don't want any of you freaks in my house," said Petunia shortly, then she started closing the door, but Sirius' foot went forward and stopped it short. Then he walked into the house and Harmony followed.

"Too bad, I have something I need to talk to your family about," said Sirius looking unfazed by the death glare that her aunt was giving him.

Petunia could find no way out of this so she walked to the living room. "Fine, follow me." When they entered the living room Harmony noticed that both her uncle and cousin were there - Dudley was watching the television and had grown at least two times wider than the last time she saw him and Uncle Vernon was reading a newspaper.

He looked over the paper and his eyes landed on Harmony. "You girl, I thought we got rid of you."

"Funny, I thought it was the other way around." The words left her mouth before she even thought about it, but it was done and the looks on the Dursleys' faces were funnier than she could have ever expected.

"I guess they don't teach manners at that freaky school, do they?" asked her Uncle, getting over his speechlessness.

"Only to those who deserve it," barked Sirius to her Uncle. "And by the things that Harmony told me, you don't even deserve the air you breathe. I can't believe the way you treated Harmony all those years - so much that I can't even put it into words. Her parents didn't die just for her to be neglected and mistreated, they died protecting her - they didn't die in some car accident."

"Now see here -" started Vernon, but Sirius cut him off with his wand, which was pointed between his eyes.

"Give - me - one - good – reason," snarled Sirius. "Give me one reason not to hex you right now." When the only answer Sirius got was a whimper from Dudley he continued. "I was only sent here to tell you that Harmony will never be coming back - she is staying a Hogwarts with me. Dumbledore thought it would be more polite to tell you in person. I personally just wanted to scare you senseless.

"And if I ever had a choice Harmony would have never been sent to you, she would have done what her parents' wishes were and lived with me - but due to some things beyond my control I was unable to take care of my goddaughter - until now."

Sirius put his wand by in his pocket then turned to Harmony, "Let's go," Not another word was said between anyone, Harmony and Sirius just walked out the door.

It was two days after the meeting with the Dursleys and Harmony and Sirius were waiting in front of their fire place for Remus Lupin - the last faithful Marauder. (Also the little fact that he was still alive.)

Sirius was pacing, actually, while Harmony sat sideways in the closest chair to the fireplace watching her godfather with a bemused expression on her face. "How can you be nervous? He is your best friend."

Sirius just shot a look at her before looking at the fireplace again. This went on for another five minutes before the fireplace erupted with green flames and man stepped out with a single trunk. His face looked young, Harmony noticed, though it had many scars on it. His light brown hair was streaked with some grey and his honey eyes sparkled with kindness.

Remus Lupin was here.

Sirius had stopped dead at the sight of the flames and Harmony could swear the he stopped breathing when Remus stepped out. Remus caught sight of his old friend and sat his trunk down and turned to Sirius.

"Padfoot, you have no idea how good it is to see you," said Remus softly, his voice hoarse.

Sirius' eyes lit up at his old nickname. "I have some idea, Moony."

Then the two men embraced like brothers. After they separated Sirius turned to Harmony. "Remus, this is Harmony Potter, Harmony I believe you know enough about Remus Lupin that he doesn't need an introduction."

Harmony stood up, "Hello Mr. Lupin..." She trailed off when Remus walked up to her and pulled her into a hug.

When they pulled apart he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Please, call me Remus, Harmony." Then he smiled. "It's wonderful to see you; you look so much like your mother - your father too, of course."

Harmony smiled, "Yes, I get that a lot."

Remus and Sirius laughed and the two life time friends sat down catching up on lost time, this time with a new marauder - a marauderette.

The next two weeks were wonderful. Remus and Sirius were a great team at telling her stories about her father and mother - Remus being the voice of reason, always having a moral to the story, while Sirius described the pranks in great detailed.

Something Harmony also noticed was how happier her godfather was - she hadn't seen him this happy since he had first met her for the first time. He and Remus seemed ten years younger together, talking about their days at Hogwarts.

The only one not happy with this reunion was Professor Snape - he seemed to never show up to meals during the first two weeks of summer. Harmony couldn't blame him, some of the stories Sirius and Remus told her about the pranks they pulled on Snape were down right mean.

She had asked Remus one night when Sirius was already asleep about this. He had answered honestly that they were all very immature and stupid in their school days. "I'm sorry to say that your father was very big headed, too." he smiled sadly. "Lily didn't go out with him until seventh year, you know, and she thought he was the worst thing in Hogwarts. She said once that she would rather date the giant squid in the black lake."

Harmony laughed. "Well I can't blame her, right? She had good taste in the beginning and the end." She smiled. "Most guys I know are stupid until a certain age, then they get mature."

Remus had to agree with her on this topic.

Another thing that Harmony really liked about Remus was that he really was just like the stories Sirius told her. The smart and caring Marauder. The two would sit in the library researching things for hours, until Sirius came and dragged them out screaming something about, "You can't infect her with your study habits, Moony! She's already too smart!"

Remus also had many stories to tell about her mother, Lily. It seems that she had helped him before with his 'problem' and accepted him.

Remus would always tell her how much like her mother she was - it made Harmony feel so...complete. Not only did she look like both of her parents, but she also acted like them, too.

After Remus left, their daily lives went back to how it was last summer. Snape even started to come out to meals, though he still skipped many. (Harmony suspected it was because of Sirius.) But when he did come out Harmony would always ask him a question about a potion she had been reading about. She was currently reading about the polyjuice potion.

Snape seemed impressed at all the studying she had been doing in potions, and he seemed more able to show it now that they weren't in classes. While Snape awarded the Maximus house points - the only other one besides Slytherin - he still favored his house above all others.

Harmony also asked Professor McGonagall for help with some of the spells she was having trouble with - her class was one of her worst and she had to study it extra hard to actually be able to do well in the class.

Harmony's birthday came and went, getting some of her first birthday presents from Sirius, Cedric, Hermione and Hagrid.

Sirius had given her a small journal that he kept during Hogwarts especially for pranks - mentioning her dad many times, of course.

Hermione gave her a few books, as well as a writing journal with music notes all over it - with a small cheesy note with 'Harmony' and 'music' mentioned many times. Harmony had laughed so hard tears of mirth streamed down her face.

Then Hagrid got her a photo album - it contained pictures of her parents, both at Hogwarts and afterwards. He had said that he contacted many of their friends to get the pictures - many coming from Remus and Sirius. She had hugged him as tightly as she could, seeing as she couldn't even get her arms completely around him.

And lastly, Cedric got her own copy of 'Quidditch Through the Ages' and picture of Harmony, Hermione and himself just before school was let out - Sirius had taken it just outside by the Quidditch pitch. The first thing Harmony did when she saw the picture was had Sirius make a copy of it and shrink it, then she put it in her locket she got from Cedric for Christmas - she now wore it everyday. Then she put the original picture in her new photo album.

It was at the end of the first week in August that Dobby the house-elf showed himself.

Harmony had just finished writing an entry in her journal - she had been trying to write one everyday, though some days she didn't have anything to say. She figured that she would have more to say when school started - or better yet, when she left for Hermione's house for the rest of the summer in two days!

She stood up and placed the small book in the first compartment of her writing desk, then turned to get ready for bed - and froze at the sight in front of her. Sitting on her bed - its legs dangling off the side - was a small creature with huge eyes and an old and dirty pillow case for clothes.

Harmony first thought was to scream - and she did, but it only came out as a small squeak. The creature jumped to its feet - on her bed - and his already huge eyes widened. "Miss Potter, miss. It is such an honor to meet you. Dobby has always wanted to!"

Harmony was speechless for a moment, then - "What?"

"I'ms sorry, Miss Potter, I has forgotten to introduce myself." said the creature. "I is Dobby, the house-elf."

Harmony nodded, finally understanding a little. She had read about house-elves, and Sirius had told her about the old and crazy house-elf in his home - Kreacher, was it? From what she could remember house-elves were treated pretty badly, forced to do the work of one wizarding family for their entire life.

"Um, hello, Dobby," began Harmony. "I'm Harmony Potter."

"Oh, Dobby knows all about you, Miss." said Dobby bouncing on his heals. "You defeated the Dark Lord, you did so much for the house-elves - before the Dark Lord's defeat we were treated horrible, like vermin. But then again, Dobby is still treated like vermin."

Harmony smiled, "Then you must have not met many good wizards than, I suppose." Dobby started to nod, then froze. He ran to Harmony's bedside table and picked up the book resting on it - Quidditch through the Ages - which wasn't terribly heavy, but anything would hurt if you knock it against your head repeatedly.

Harmony managed to get the book out of Dobby's hands, then asked him to sit down which made him burst into tears. Harmony quickly got him to quiet down - she couldn't risk Sirius waking up, she didn't know what he would do if he found a strange house-elf in Hogwarts.

Once Dobby was settled down he explained that he wasn't supposed to be here, but he had to warn Harmony. She tried to get him to tell her about what, but she kept his mouth firmly shut, which was to say that he couldn't tell her as it would be going against his master's wishes.

He did tell her a few things, though. "Harmony Potter must leave Hogwarts! She must not return to school this year!" Harmony displayed her horror solely in her face, she was about to say something when Dobby continued. "Horrible things are going to happen; you must not put yourself in danger!"

"What things? Who's planning them?" asked Harmony, again Dobby couldn't answer, he only pulled down on her ears. "Ok, I get it."

"I will tell you this, the person planning them is not a friend to Miss Potter," said Dobby in a grave voice. "The person planning them is upset that Miss Potter stopped the Dark Lord as a baby, and again just a month ago. They is also even more mad that the defeater of the Dark Lord is a woman! Such things are not done in the wizarding world! Women must stay in their place, or as this person thinks."

Harmony just put her head in her hands for a moment, then raised it again to face Dobby. "Dobby, thank you for warning me - it shows great courage -" Dobby beamed. "But I have to stay at Hogwarts - I don't have anywhere else to go. And as for this terrible thing, I'm sure that I can handle it, and if I can't Dumbledore can - or my godfather. Neither of them would want anything to happen to me or anyone else, especially in Hogwarts." She looked at Dobby pleadingly. "I swear if anything happens I'll leave Hogwarts, but until then I'm staying."

Dobby nodded, although he had tears in his eyes. "If that is what Miss Potter wants, I hope you are safe. Good-bye Miss Potter." Then with a snap of his fingers he was gone.

Harmony sighed and fell back into her bed. As if things last year hadn't been bad enough, now she had to deal with crazy house-elves and master plots to do her in.

Sigh, just another day in the life of Harmony Potter, the girl who lived.

I love the last line! (I know that sounds totally ego-manaic, but I do like it!) Please review! I'm dying here!
