Sirius Black was pacing in a jail cell. Yes, A jail cell. as to why he was in a jail cell, he did not was trying to remember the events that had led up to his arrival to Azkaban. Not that it was hard to remember. he was forced to remember every time a dementor floated by.
It had all started... well he wasn't really sure how long it had been. hours? days? years? the last thing he remembered was his best friend. No! his brother! (well not really his brother) James and Lilys dead bodies.
He still couldn't believe Peter. Yes Peter! everything about Peter! it made him wonder if Peter had actually been dumb or if it had been a clever rouse to get Remus to do his school work for him. it made him think about the time that he and James had trapped Peet in between two book cases. pretending that they couldn't have un-trapped him just as easily as they trapped him. with just a flick of there wands. But then they wouldn't of had the fun of bouncing those chicken nuggets off his head.
Thinking about his school days made him laugh made the dementor that was passing by stop and stick his ugly face up to the bars. The dementor took a big long wanted to kick it in the nose hole, but had thought better of it since they had taken his army boots. He decided to make faces at it. which had made him think of the last time he had made faces. it was at Harry.
oh Godric! Harry! where is Harry! oh shit! I have to find Harry!Don't worry Harry Uncle Paddys coming! he shouted as he transformed and squished through the bars. It was a tight squeeze but he was determined to fit. He ran down the hall not thinking about anything but Harry and how scared and confused he be.
He had been injured! has he been to a healer? has he eaten? is he sitting in his own filth? is he in an orphanage?
No! No! There's no way he could be in an orphanage. but he is an orphan. a voice whispered in the back of his head. it made him choke up. which made him look up. where am I? He wondered out loud. but since he was a dog came out as a rather odd grunting kind of bark.
For the first time he noticed that he was standing in the sand. He had just enough time to notice . the most miserable little shack you can imagine. Perched on top of what looked like a large rock. Right before a large wave of ice cold water hit him right on the tail end. He yipped and took off running. He wasn't sure where he was going. So he just kept running .
Even when he got tired he just kept running. Up the coast. passed a parking garage. across a suspension bridge. through a plowed field. To a forest (where he did make a pitstop). To a place called the Rail view hotel. Where he was almost backed over by a careless driver in the parking lot.
Cars! I should take a car! Is what Sirius realized as he was dodging the tire. After transforming back into a man. He went into the Bar/dinner of the Rail view hotel. Where he pretended to be a stranded motorist. He flirted with a pretty waitress Who called him a taxi and brought him a beer and a sandwich. And had him promise to come back and see her sometime.
When he got into the taxi, his heart skipped a beat. When the driver commented that he'd seen sirius on television. But luckily the man had been mistaken. He was under the impression that Sirius had won something call a lazy boy on something called the Price is right. Sirius just smiled and nodded. But had soon wished he hadn't. Since the man had talked about nothing else for the whole trip and kept asking questions Sirius did not know the answer to.
