Chapter 1:
The dawn broke out and the sun rose up over the dark and dismal prison island of Azkaban. A small thin creature in a large prison outfit groaned and cracked her spine as she rose off her cot and stood. She scratched her long and tangled; frizzy black curls and walked to the bars of her cell and looked through the dimness adjusting her eyesight to see the figure across the way still on his cot.
"Si-rius," the woman said in singsong.
"N-uh," the figure groaned.
"Si-rius," the figure repeated.
"Will you ever stop that?" the figure yawned and stretched as he stood and moaned at his sore back.
"No."
"Well it's not that bad anyway," he smiled half heartedly walking to his cell bars.
"Nightmares?" she asked conversationally.
"Death."
"I had a dream. For the first time in twelve years," she replied.
"Tell me," he said putting his hands around the bars.
"I saw us walking out of here," she answered.
"That won't happen wench!" laughed the guard as he passed by them banging a police like baton on the bars.
"Leave her alone!" Sirius snarled while unbeknownst to him Aradia snatched something from the guard.
The guard howled with taunting laughter and walked on. Sirius continued to growl and glare at the man till her heard his beloved's wife's gasp.
"What?" Sirius blinked turning his head. He saw her looking at a newspaper.
"He's alive!" she exclaimed turning the paper to show him the picture.
Sirius squinted through the dim light and saw a rather large and happy looking family waving at the camera…and a rat missing a toe on the youngest son's shoulder! Sirius' eyes widened and he snarled at the picture.
"We have to get out of here," she said turning the paper back around to read the article, "This says these are Weasleys and five of these children are at Hogwarts…we can't let the bastard get to our boys."
"How do you suppose we get out ask nicely for the keys?" Sirius asked sarcastically.
"No. I expect you to remember the trick I taught you," she said as her breathe began to fog and they felt the coldness of the Dementors patrolling.
Sirius looked at her oddly till he saw a black panther take her place.
"Ahh…" he nodded and a large black dog took his place.
After blowing up Aunt Marge; Harry and his cousin Sebastian packed their trunks and left the house. They were sitting in an empty park when they heard the creaking of a large animal.
"Oi Harry mate you see that?" asked the tall and dashing young man with aristocratic features, black shoulder length curls, mischievous grey eyes, and a lightening shaped scar on the left side of his forehead.
"The dog or the extremely large cat?" asked the medium height boy with messy black hair, sharp green eyes, round rimmed glasses, and a lightening shaped scar on the right side of his forehead.
"Both," the taller said as he and his cousin brandish their wands.
There was a loud bang and the boys saw a large purple triple Decker Bus.
"My name is Stan Shunpike and I'll….Oi what are you two looking at?" the teen asked looking over their shoulders.
"I uh…nothing," the boys shook their heads seeing the animals were gone.
"Well come on get on then," the teen said loading their trunks.
The boys sat on the beds as the bus flew off. They saw the front of the paper Stan was reading and saw two terrifying people screaming in the picture both looking horribly dirty and thin.
"Who are they?" Harry asked as the beds rattled around.
The man looked at the paper and back to the boys like they were insane.
"Who are they? Who are they?" he asked exasperatedly, "That's Sirius and Aradia Black. They're murders. Got themselves locked up in Azkaban for it they did. They were big supporters of you- know- who. Reckon you know him?"
"Him we know," Sebastian sighed.
The couple morphed back into themselves just after the boys got on the bus.
"We'll never get to them in Hogwarts without help," Aradia sighed, "The headmaster and the heads will know us."
"So what will we do?" Sirius asked as they sat on the grass behind a bush. The cool air felt so good on their faces.
"Sirius we must get to them before they get back to Hogwarts," she said standing.
"How do you propose we do that?" Sirius asked standing as well.
"I don't know…but I do know I want to get out of these horrible prison clothes. Come on," she said taking his hand and apparating away.
