CHAPTER ONE: THE END OF SNUFFLES
This was not one of the best days in his life but not necessarily one of the worst. One has to admit it was a great break from de-doxying[1] the headquarters. So the dark haired man grabbed all the necessary ingredients from the cupboard then began cutting, slicing, dicing, grinding … stuff. He took a spoonful of the … er …. mixture and threw it on the cauldron. Soon a horrendous stench filled the room, signifying a failed effort. The wizard took out his wand to decontaminate the air. Potions[2] was never his forte...
After a several attempts, he had successful achieved the correct texture (well it was darker than the usual green and rather rocky than smooth but the odor was gone so he can carry it without throwing up his breakfast). He brought cauldron upstairs to his mother's room after a few minutes of cooling it down. Carefully he opened the door, revealing a four legged creature. As a necessary procedure, he bowed in front of the hippogriff[3]. The creature simply nodded its head in reply instead of the normal bow.
"Let's see what we can do with those wounds, Buckbeak."
Sirius sat near its injured leg then took a good look. It was a deep gash that ran from its knee to its foot as someone had intentionally slashed the appendage. There was blood sticking on the feathers. He stood up, took out something from his pockets and raised his hands toward its beak.
"Here eat this, it will make the pain more tolerable," he assured, while stroking its feather.
He gently brought out his wand and murmured a spell. In a few seconds the Hippogriff was asleep. He returned to his earlier position and began washing the gash. He watched out for sudden movements (everyone knows how strong these creatures can get) before continuing. Once the abrasion was clean, he began lightly applying the potion he made earlier.
It took an hour for him to complete the procedure. He was completely exhausted but he needs to get ready himself. Remus, Tonks, Kingsley and Mad-Eye will be dropping for dinner. He stood up but not before a voice came out from nowhere
"Black."
He immediately rummaged through his pockets, carelessly as different objects fell from it. Finally he found the mirror. The voice echoed through the room again.
"Black."
Funny the mirror didn't show Harry's face or any body's face for that matter. And the voice, for the third time, called out his last name.
"Black."
The man groaned as he realize that he was holding the wrong mirror. He had been expecting Harry to contact him since Christmas. He returned the mirror inside his cloak and started looking for the other one. He had been too thrilled to notice that the voice was using his last name.
Ever since Dolores Umbridge became the headmistress, the Order (or more accurately Sirius) had a hard time contacting the members in Hogwarts[4]. He suggested that they charm mirrors (McGonagall gave him a pointed looked when he told how he and James used it during detention). It was one of those small ideas he could offer for their fight against Voldemort aside from this rotting place. He never intended to suggest it in the first place, but unfortunately his uselessness was getting to him. The team agreed and used it as primary tool for communication. What he didn't tell them was he still has the original pair and gave one to Harry secretly. He just hoped that no one will know or he'll never the end of it.
He was dying to know what's happening inside the wizarding school. His friends (and enemy… coughSnapecough) kept him in the dark giving bits and pieces of information. Harry was his last hope; unfortunately the lad seemed to have forgotten about the mirror. The last fireplace incident with Lupin was a proof.
"BLACK." This time the voice was screaming and urgent.
Padfoot turned to the floor where the sound came from. It was then he noticed that some of his items where scattered on the floor. He sighed in relief when he noticed a small plastic mirror with printed flowers (most of male members complained at the choice of mirrors, but Tonks said no, since she had a huge discount on the purchase. In his opinion, she just liked annoying them.) The mirror must have an Unbreakable charm too; it had survived its fall.
The wizard murmured the secret password to fully activate the mirror. It revealed the last face he would like to see.
"What in bloody hell did I do that you graced me with your presence?" He retorted as he watched the other man's lip thinned.
"Nothing, I'm leaving," Snape said before disappearing in the mirror
'What in Merlin's beard was that about?'
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Sirius had forgotten the incident since his visitors had arrived. He was still yet to clean the utensils he used for the potion (including the earlier attempts). So when they entered kitchen, dark green fumes escaped from it.
"Geeze, Sirius, don't tell me that will be our dinner!" Tonks's voice floated through the fumes. Lupin and Shacklebolt entered the room covering their nose due to disgusting odor.
"Just help me get rid of it," Sirius replied.
A few sparks and spells later, the dreadful vapors dissipated. Mad-Eye thought it was a Death Eater[5] attack. He irately gave Padfoot another earful on 'CONSTANT VIGILANCE' then departed from the kitchen to purge the reek out of their headquarters. The remaining four was left to cleanse the room.
"What is this supposed to be, Sirius?" Kingsley asked eyeing at the cauldron at the top of the wood stove.
"That would be one of my failed attempts. Could you get rid of it? Most of the fumes seemed to be coming from that one."
"You have an elf right? Can't he help us?" The bald man pried as he poured out the mixture out the container to the sink.
"He has been missing since I had been treating Buckbeak."
"A hippogriff was injured? Here at your house that's rather odd…" Remus pondered as he took the spoons and placed them in a basin.
Sirius, who had been wiping the counter top, snapped his head to his friend.
It was a deep gash that ran from its knee to its foot as someone had intentionally slashed the appendage.
He immediately got out of the room and bellowed his family elf's name.
"KREACHER!"
His voice echoed through house… soon it was followed by another.
"YOU USELESS BOY! NOT ALONE YOU DISGRACE MY ABODE, YOU DARE CALL TO MY LOYAL SERVANT!"
"SHUT UP!"
The man yelled then pulled out his wand and pointed it at the portrait. A few sparks came out on its end and the velvet moth-eaten curtains at its sides closed. Of course, that didn't stop his mother from using that shrill voice, muffled sounds can still be heard through the thick cloth. He continued moving around the house looking for the elf. He needed to maximize his time, his spell will only last for a few minutes and the curtains will open once more. Damned the person responsible for warding that portrait.
"Black"
The man ignored the voice and continued his search. He didn't have the time deal with the annoying grit any way.
"Kreacher, if you don't show yourself right now, I'm gonna raid you hidey-hole and throw the rubbish you're keep there!"
And that did it.
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
"What does Master want from Kreacher? Kreacher tried to get out of Master's sight as he ordered…."
"KREACHER, STOP BABBLING," he shouted, his black eyes flashing with anger. In an instant the elf's hands went to his mouth covering it.
"Now tell me did you injure Buckbeak?"
Sirius watched as the servant's internals struggle but was annoyed when the creature refused to answer. He approached the house elf, using his tall build to intimidate Kreacher.
"PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN! NOW ANSWER -"
"BLACK!"
It was Snivellus once more.
"Stay there and don't leave until I say so" he barked to the elf while taking out the mirror and whispered the password.
"What do you want?"
The man simply ignored the remark and began talking.
"Dumbledore will arrive soon. You are to inform him of what happened. Potter and his friends left Hogwarts-"
"Harry left Hogwarts? Why did-"
"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, the Dark Lord had deceived Potter. The boy wanted to play hero once-," the Potions Master explained.
"WAIT? WHAT? IT'S THAT THE REASON WHY YOU CALLED ME EARLIER? YOU SLIMY GIT, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?" The stale house shook as the voice of its owner reverberated through its grimy rooms. As if on cue the spell on the curtains wore off.
"YOU INSOLENT SON, HOW DARE DISRUPT THE SILENCE OF MY ABODE!"
"THESE QUARTERS WILL NEVER BE QUIET UNLESS YOUR PORTRAIT HANGS HERE," he yelled back in anger and rage, running towards the portrait once more and brandished his wand over it. The man on the mirror spoke again.
"As I said earlier Black, you are to stay here and inform Dumbledore. Moody and the others are on their -"
Mad-Eye and the others? He immediate ran to the kitchen only find it empty aside from the grimy pots and utensils. On the isle he saw a white paper.
Sirius,
Whatever happens, don't leave the house.
The rest and I will be helping Harry.
Wait for Dumbledore's instructions.
Remus
They left him again without a word, only this piece of bloody paper. A cough shook him out of his reverie.
"Black, this will be the last time I'll be informing you of what happened. Potter had idiotically sneaked to Umbridge's office to use her fireplace. Unfortunately, he was imprudent enough to believe that the Dark Lord was after your head, as though your presence will be missed in the Order. And you will stay here and inform Dumbledore of these events. Is that clear?"
Why would Harry believe that he was in great danger? Then he remembered Dumbledore's explanations for the Occlumency[6] lessons.
"Sirius, Harry's ability has worried me greatly. True, we saved Arthur from great danger but I fear that Voldemort had already taken notice. He will use the ability against us. I would like to teach the boy personally but due to different constraints, I cannot. You know that among the Order Severus is the most gifted in such arts…"
"Snivellus, there's no way I'm going to stay here any longer I'm sick of sitting here and doing nothing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to save my godson," Sirius stated before throwing the mirror at the other side of the room.
"KREACHER!"
Then there was another ZAP and the house elf was in front of him again.
"Harry has left Hogwarts thinking that I was captured by Voldemort. You will be informing Dumbledore. He will arrive soon."
The doors of the house were opened and then closed with bang. A loud crack pierced through the air, and Number Twelve Grimmauld Place was once more empty of any human life.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
After series of pops, four figures appeared in the hall.
"Everyone, "a man with one blinking eye spoke to others. "The Death Eaters may not know we're here. Don't make unnecessary noi-"
CRASH.
One of his companions a young woman with neon green hair, stumbled over a suit of armor. A man, with the shabby clothes and gray hair, approached the woman offering his hand to help her.
"Are you alright, Tonks?"
"I'm okay, Remus" She took his hand. "Sorry for ruining the plan."
"Never mind, just be on your guard. We don't know how many of them are pre - WHAT ON EARTH, ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Alastor's voice echoed through walls of the Ministry of Magic, followed by loud clunks as he walked towards a large black canine.
"So much for the element of surprise," a bald black man murmured before the three of them followed suit.
In a blink of an eye, the dog transformed into Sirius Black, "Have you found Harry?"
Instead of answering his question, Moody took out his wand and pointed it at Sirius' head.
"Mad-eye, that is uncalled for" Shacklebolt said watching the scene.
"No, Black is supposed to stay at the Headquarters on Dumbledore's orders."
"But I'm never the one who follows orders."
"He has a point," Nymphadora said in agreement.
But the wand did not leave Black's face. Lupin groaned and took over the situation. "Just play along."
"I'm Sirius Black, a member of the Marauders[7]. I use the name Padfoot among my friends. I've spent more than ten years of my life in Azkaban[8] even though I'm innocent. I'm here to save my godson and we're wasting time here interrogating me."
"I think that's enough proof," said Kingsley. Remus and Tonks nodded.
"No not enough, everyone knew Black's life story. Give us information that you have acquired recently."
"Mad-eye…"
"No."
Tension filled up the air. Then Sirius rolled his eyes and spoke.
"I sawMoonyandTonkskissing theotherday"
"WHAT!" The mentioned persons retorted, blushing.
"I didn't get it," Shacklebolt said scratching the back of his neck.
"It's fine with me," Mad-Eye exclaimed, removed the arm from the other man's face and continued walking, loud clanks echoed through the room. Tonks' jaw dropped to the ground.
"Kingsley, follow Moody. Leave the three of us for a while," Lupin requested. The bald wizard nodded and ran off to the said man.
"Remy, how on earth did Mad-Eye knew?" Tonks asked in whisper.
"So it's Remy now?" Black teased. The werewolf gave him a pointed look.
"You are supposed to keep it a secret, Sirius. And I have no idea how Moody knew. It must have been something to do with his eye… we don't have time for this."
"You're right let's go find Harry. Oh yeah I forgot to say this the other day, welcome to the family, Remy"
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
They made it. Harry and his friends are still alive. It seems like Harry's practicing a lot lately. His god son has just petrified a Death Eater. Good work but first ...
"Now I want you to get out of-"
A jet of green interrupted Sirius nearly hitting him. It's not safe for his godson stay here.
"Harry, take the prophecy, grab Neville and run!"
He immediately ran towards Bellatrix as Harry and Neville struggled to escape. The rush of battle exhilarated him. He had enough of his long imprisonment in their headquarters. He and Lestrange dueled for a few minutes despite several interruptions. After dodging a red light he decided to spice things a bit.
"Come on, you can do better than that!"
That was a bad move. Her spell hit him on the chest. Surprise was sketched on his face and later on was replaced by shock.
His eyes roam at the surroundings and he noticed Dumbledore had arrived. The headmaster and Harry were walking towards him with their wands out. Suddenly he felt the veil behind his back. Before falling into the darkness, he heard his cousin's triumphant scream.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
