The rest of the summer passed as they always did, although Harry seemed a lot happier because Sirius and Remus had spent a lot of time visiting him, and telling stories of happier days. Sirius said that he wasn't going to go back to work yet, even though he had been offered his old job back. Harry asked him what his job was, and Remus said, "He was an Auror, and a damned good one too! The Death Eaters were almost as scared of him as they are of Mad-Eye Moody, and that's saying something, if you've ever met Moody!"
