it. This one is detected to one of my best friends Amy. Happy Birthday,
I swear I'll make you happy! Just think of our three you-know-whos! ^-^
On with the story. Try to guess who the girl is before she says her name.
Sirius was sitting in his small, cramped, quiet cell. At this time, thankfully, there were no dementors outside his cell. His stared out of the bars in his cell. At the moment he was thinking of Harry. Poor, little, seven-year-old Harry Potter, stuck with muggles who didn't love him. This isn't right, things aren't supposed to be this way. Lily and James are supposed to be alive, Harry should be with then, I should be with them, along with Moony. Peter, though no. Peter should be dead and gone from this world, so should Voldemort. Both of them dead and rotting in here not me, not Lily, not James.
Sirius heard footsteps and glanced up. Dementors glided so they made no sound, who was this. A little girl poked her head around the bars. She had short red hair, brown eyes, freckles, and she was about six. "Hello," she said. She was very small and slipped right through the bars. She walked over and sat down in front of Sirius.
"Where am I? Who are you?" she asked. She said this all in a sweet innocent voice that made Sirius feel horrible that she got into Azkaban.
"I..." Sirius found it hard to talk. He hadn't done it in over six years. He cleared his throat. "I'm Sirius Black, and you're in Azkaban."
"Oh," was the girl's reply. "I got lost with my dad at the ministry. Not a bloody clue of how I got here."
"Who are you? How old are you? Who's your dad? Why were you at the ministry?"
"I'm Virginia Weasley, but everyone calls me Ginny. My brother's call me Gin. I'm six, my dad is Arthur Weasley, and he was taking me to the ministry for the day. I know all about you, you killed thirteen people with a single curse, and you betrayed the Potters to You-Know-Who. You also-"
"I DIDN'T DO THAT! I DIDN'T DO ANY OF IT!"
"Then who did?"
Sirius sighed, this was going to take a while. But he started, he started at Hogwarts and went from there. He told her everything of how Peter betrayed the Potter. How Peter killed all of those people, and how Peter framed him and faked his own death. Ginny sat silent through out the whole thing, nodding to edge him on. Sirius finally finished and she sighed.
"Well then you've got to get out of here." Ginny said.
"How, how can I get out of here?"
"With me. You transform into a dog, you and I walk around until we find a real person. I pretend to cry, and make up a story of me and my dog being lost. You and I will both get out of here, from there I can help you find Remus Lupin, Dumbledore, and Harry. I'll help I swear and with a dad at the ministry and two brothers at Hogwarts it will be easy. Please Sirius come, I'll help I know I can!"
"Ok, I will." Sirius transformed into a dog. Ginny walked over and slipped through the bars again. Sirius followed with no difficulty. Ginny lead the way to to huge iron gates. She pushed the gates open and walked through them Sirius still following.
The walked through an empty hallway for fifteen minutes. Then a tall balding man with red hair ran up and hugged Ginny. He was crying as he lifted her in the air and spun her around. "Oh, my little Ginny! Where have you been?" He set her down and hugged her again.
Ginny started to fake cry. She was very good at it. "Oh...oh...oh daddy! It was horrible, I gotted....lost...and-and-and I was in Azkaban....and if this doggie didn't find me I'd-I'd-I'd be lost still. It was so scary, and the...the doggie lead me back here." Ginny hugged her dad tightly, she gave Sirius a thumbs up behind her dad's back.
Sirius gave a small bark. Mr. Weasley turned around, he patted Sirius on the head. "Thanks boy. Well you have no collar. Gin how'd you like him to come home with us?"
"Oh, daddy he did have a collar. I lost it in Azkaban, but I remember it said Remus Lupin on it, the doggie's name is Padfoot." Ginny said.
"Well Gin I know where Remus lives. I'm good friends with him so you and I can go drop off Padfoot and then go home for dinner."
Ginny nodded, Arthur took her hand and lead her and Sirius out to a parking lot. They got into a turquoise car and drove off. Ginny and Sirius sat in the back of the car, Ginny pulled out a bar of Chocolate and gave it to Sirius, who great fully ate it. After a half an hour they arrived at a small cottage in the middle of a forest. Ginny told her dd she'd take Sirius in and she got out. Sirius jumped out and followed her to the door.
Ginny bent down to hug him, "If you need any more help I'm here for you. Good luck with everything." She knocked on the door. A very tiered Remus Lupin answered it. "Hello sir I'm Ginny Weasley and I found your dog over here." She motioned towards Sirius. Remus paled. "I know what you're thinking. Just here him out, or you'll make the biggest mistake of you life. Good-bye sirs."
Ginny walked away and got into the car. She waved good-bye and the car drove away. Remus looked down at Sirius, "How the bloody heck you got here I don't know. But come in and start talking before I owl the ministry." Remus turned around and went inside. Sirius followed him.
Remus turned around wand in his hand, though it wasn't raised at Sirius. "Turn back," Remus commanded.
Sirius did so. Remus held back a gasp as he saw how much Azkaban had changed his friend....no exfriend. "Remus hear me out before you do anything. I didn't kill Lily and James. I convinced them at the last moment to change to Peter. I thought Voldemort would come to me and leave Peter alone. But, Peter worked for him and sold the Potters to Voldemort. I tracked Peter down, he cut off his finger, transformed, blew up the street, and ran into the sewer. He left me to get framed and thrown into Azkaban. Moony, please....please believe me!"
Remus sighed and sat down. He closed his eyes, "How did that Weasley girl get into this?"
"Oh, that's Ginny. Well she was at the Ministry with her dad, Arthur, and she got lost. She ended up in Azkaban, she finds me, we talk, she offers to get me out of there, I accept, she talks to her dad, takes me here, and here we are."
Remus sighed again, "I...I...I believe you Padfoot."
"You do, Moony?"
"Yes I do."
Sirius ran forward and hugged Moony. "Padfoot, let's go to Dumbledore."
"No, wait I want to see Harry. Where is he?"
"With his Aunt and Uncle, at number four Privet Drive."
"Let's go." Before Remus knew it Sirius was dragging him through the streets to Privet Drive.

After two hours of walking they arrived outside the Dursley's house, just as a little boy ran out of it. A man came to the door. "Stay out here until I see fit to let you back in," the man yelled. He slammed the door in the little boy's face. The boy sat down on the front steps. He shivered, no wonder. It was about 50 degrees out, and it was the middle of winter.
Sirius looked at Remus, they were hiding in the bushes by the steps. "He looks just like James," Sirius said.
Remus nodded, "But with Lily's eyes."
"I'll be right back," Sirius said, and before Remus could do anything a large black dog started towards to boy.
The dog stopped next to the boy, now to be known as Harry Potter. Sirius barked. Harry jumped and looked over. He smiled and patted Sirius on the head. "Hey, there boy. What are you doing out here?" Harry reached into his pocket, he pulled out a piece of chicken. Harry held it out to Sirius.
Sirius shook his head. Harry held it out again, Sirius pushed it back towards Harry. "I've already eaten, I'm not hungry." Harry held it out again, this time Sirius took it. Harry laughed. "I knew you wanted it." Harry yawned and laid down on the steps, his head on Sirius's stomach. In two minutes he was asleep.
Remus sighed and was about to walk over when he heard someone say something, "Remus, what might you be doing here?" Remus spun around to see the speaker was Dumbledore. "Fancy seeing you, Sirius Black, and Harry Potter all in the same place."
Remus stumbled for the right words to say but he couldn't find any. "Er...Dumbledore..Sirius he escaped Azkaban. With the help of a little girl. But he's innocent, Peter was the Potter's secret keeper not Sirius. Peter is still alive and he framed Sirius."
Dumbledore nodded "You can explain when we get to your house. I suppose Sirius wanted to see Harry." Remus nodded. "Good, we should bring him to." Dumbledore walked over and tapped Sirius. He let out a whimper. "Sirius, why don't you grab little harry and we'll all go back to Remus's place."
Sirius changed back, nodded and picked up Harry. Harry opened his eyes, "What's going on?" Sirius set Harry down on the ground.
"Hey Harry. Do you remember me?" Sirius asked. "Or him," he added pointing to Moony.
Harry looked at them back and fourth. He looked confused, he opened and closed his eyes a couple times. "You're," Harry said pointing to Sirius. "You're....er....Paaa....Paa. Pad...Padfoot. PADFOOT! Padfoot, Sirius Black! You have a flying motorcycle that you used to take me for rides on. You can turn into a big black dog, and you were a Marauder, and you're my dad's best friend."
"Harry you remember me!" Sirius said.
Harry nodded and looked at Remus smiling, "You're Moony. You're another Marauder, and another of my dad's friends. But you never came over a lot. You're a werewolf, you used to have a big crush on a girl named Capricorn Polaris Rezi, Sirius teased you because her initials were CPR, and you stopped wetting the bad at age 13, and-"
Remus put a hand over Harry's mouth. "Ok, Harry I can see you remember me." Remus was turning bright red and Sirius was howling with laughter.
"Bloody heck Remus! You stopped at 13! Harry how'd you learn about that before me?" Sirius said.
"My dad told me," Harry replied smiling.
