Disclaimer: Whom do you take me for??? J. K Rowling???

This story is a "what if" story. If you didn't read the summary go back a page. Okay, I am copying a paragraph from Chapter Twenty of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is entitle The Dementor's Kiss. I hope you like my idea of what could have been.

Silently they tramped through the grounds, the castle lights growing slowly larger. Snape was still drifting weirdly ahead of Black, his chin bumping on his chest. And then-

Snape shifted. Sirius, Harry and Hermione stopped dead in their tracks. "It's okay." They finally heard Black mumble. "He's still asleep."

Harry heaved a sigh of relief. The castle loomed closer and closer until…

"Finally!" Ron exclaimed. "I thought I was going to have to carry this rat forever."

They slipped inside the castle but not before Black gave one final look outside. "Hey Lupin isn't it a full moon tonight?"

"You're right! And I didn't take my medicine! I better hurry!" Lupin quickly unshackled himself from Pettigrew and ran to his room.

"Where is Dumbledore?" Black asked Harry.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S SIRIUS BLACK!!!" Madam Pomfrey screamed.

"Poppy?" Black said in amazement as he cocked his head. "Well I be damned."

"PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE!!!" Madam Pomfrey turned around and ran.

"Well I suppose we should just wait here." Black said and leaned himself against the wall. Not before dropping Snape to the ground.

Almost instantly Dumbledore came followed by a very scared Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall. "Professor! You remember Peter Pettigrew!" Black indicated to Pettigrew who was sitting on the floor sobbing.

"Well this is interesting. Peter I thought you were dead!" Dumbledore said almost mockingly.

"Professor I'll explain everything. But let the children go to sleep. It's been a long night." Black said.

"Of course." Dumbledore said.

Ron unshackled himself from Pettigrew. "Ron you should come with me." Madam Pomfrey said holding out her hand.

"We'll come too." Harry said starting after Ron.

"Oh no you won't. You'll go back to your common room and go to sleep." Professor McGonagall said.

Harry and Hermione turned around and headed to their dormitories. Harry couldn't keep the smile off of his face. "What are you smiling about?" Hermione asked.

"He asked me to live with him."

"He did?"

"I don't have to live with the Dursleys anymore! I can't believe this! This is the best thing that's ever happened to me!" Harry grinned ear to ear as they stepped into the common room.

"Well I'm glad for you Harry, but remember he hasn't been proven innocent yet."

"He will. I know he will."

"You're probably right. Good-night Harry."

"Goodnight Hermione."

More late. Goodnight. :-D.
