... eleven-year-olds up to bed, before he suggested they all do the same. He was shocked when he received more than one hug from the younger children. Ginny had to laugh at his bemused expression. "Face it, Potter," she grinned, "You're their new favorite tutor." Harry just shook his head, giving her a hug – which she returned – before saying good night and heading up to his dorm, followed by Ron and Neville. XXX Dear Sirius, Wow, it feels really great to be able to write you and actually use your name now! Well, I promised I'd let you know how the term started. The feast was brilliant, as always, Ginny almost had to roll me up to the tower at the end of the night! I passed the Ancient Runes and Arithmancy exams, no problem, so I officially never have to take Divination again, thank Merlin. Defense with Moody was interesting, to say the least. He showed us the Unforgivable curses, which I guess I understand, but I wish he could have been a little more thoughtful.

I miss you, and I can't wait to see you again. Love, Harry Sirius read the note from his godson and smiled. It was good to know that Harry was enjoying himself, and he was happy that the term had started well, though the thought of Moody demonstrating Unforgivables in class was slightly worrying. Reading the part about the study group…. Sirius groaned and looked over at his longtime best friend. "Bad news, Mooney," he said, pausing long enough for the werewolf to get worried, before he smiled. "Looks like Harry's meaning to follow in your footsteps. The boy's a definite shoo in for Prefect next year." Remus growled and swatted Sirius' head. "Prat," he grumbled. Sirius just laughed. XXX The weekend passed relatively quietly. Harry finished all his homework, helped Hermione put together a plan for their study group, and tried to talk with all the upper class students they had marked out to help.
