Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: Non of the other chapters will be as angsty as the first one, since I'm not good at that. Sorry if my humor is bad. I have no sense of humor whatsoever, and it might get a bit lame for some of you.

Sorry for all grammar mistakes. I still don't have English this semester.

Still need help to find a better title for my story, and I'd appreciate if someone could find a better one.

Chapter 1

A bad beer

Sirius Black was in a rather foul mood. He didn't want to be here today. It was all noisy and crowded, and the entire room smelled of sweat, alcohol and cigarettes. The beer was overpriced and tasted awful. He took another sip, and scrunched his nose. He pulled a face and lay the glass down on the bar counter with a loud "Clunk".

The bar was called The three drunk tigers, and was an infamous place if you wanted to hide in the crowd. Many people exchanged illegal goods, money and valuable information here. Mostly it was just rich Purebloods who wanted to buy some mysterious muggle artifact. Like the mysterious wonder that are called a lamp or a coffee machine. If they`d actually bothered to go to a muggle store, they could have gotten the same items for a cheaper prize. But being a Pureblood and therefore "much better then everyone", needed to go through the black market to find them.

Sirius just snored. 'Idiots, they are all just bloody idiots.' He took another sip of his beer, and made another grimace. The system was rather stupid, but it worked well. The buyer would say whatever they were after, and the supplier would find it as fast as possible. In a good shape and good quality as well. They even put in some magic spells or modifications if the buyer paid extra. Like a flying lamp or toaster that puked flames. Sirius actually knew about someone who had ordered a flying toaster that puked flames… Didn't take long before his house burned down. Sirius sniggered slightly from the memory. Sirius himself had gotten a flying motorcycle a couple of years back in a good deal. And how he loved that flying monster. He dreamed for the day he could take James out for a try on his bike. Sirius smiled softly to himself and took another sip of the beer. 'Errh… This really does taste awful.' He stuck his tongue out to it, like if that would make the beer taste any better. He took another sip. 'Nope… It didn't work.'

"What in Merlin`s name are you doing, Black? Finally lost the rest of your brain?" He heard someone sneer at him from the side. He turned around and glared at the person beside him. "Shut your mouth, Snivellus," Sirius growled back, "It's not like anyone can think in this noisy place anyway." He waved absently with his hand to the crowd behind him. The Snivelly git narrowed his eyes, but nodded slightly. "Suppose you are right," he grumbled and took up his glass of water. No way he`d ever try alcohol coming from a dirty place like this. Snape shook his head.

Sirius turned around and looked out in the room again. He searched it with his eyes, but couldn't find the person they were after. He pursed his lips and sighed loudly. 'This is soooo boring,' he thought to himself. The reason he and Snape was out here in the first place, was because they were sent on a mission. They were just going to find a bloke, kidnap him, and send him back to the base for "questioning", which usually meant torture. Sirius yawned loudly. 'Why the hell did I have to go on this stupid mission?' He glared down in his beer. 'There are lots of more important things I could be doing… Like… Ehm… Like…' Sirius frowned to himself, he couldn't come up with anything. He narrowed his gaze. 'Like… Stealing candy from kids!' He grinned slightly to himself, but stopped when Snape was looking at him weirdly. Sirius huffed and looked away.

Sirius looked out in the air and started to think. He missed the good old days when he and the Marauders ran amok in Hogwarts. He missed the years when all they did was prank people. And most of all he missed James. They`d had so much fun over the years. One time they`d even found a genie`s lamp. And with help of them caused lots of havoc in Hogwarts. Sirius chuckled. One time they`d wished Snivellus had a tattoo that said: "I like wearing woman underwear" on his buttocks. And then pulled his trousers down in the great hall. Sirius barked with laughter, and looked down at Snape. ' I wonder if he still has it.' He grinned slightly, not caring that people looked at him funny. Snape sneered in reply, not liking the look Black was giving him.

Sirius ignored him and took another swag of his beer, and made a grimace again. He shook his head. ' Awful, awful thing this is.' He looked out in the air again and lost his smile gradually. He sighed. 'When did it go so wrong between us, Prongs?" He bit his lip. Sirius knew well that it was him who had fucked everything up between them. The entire thing was his fault really. If he hadn't been so stupid, then he could still be at James` side. And there was nothing else he would ever want. But like every other Purebloods, he would never admit he was wrong or ever did anything wrong. But that didn't stop the nagging feeling in his chest. It wasn't guilt or anything, he didn't regret what he did that day. 'I shouldn't… I shouldn't have rushed it.' He nodded slightly to himself. 'Then James would have been all mine.' He took up is glass. 'Cheers, Prongs.' Sirius gulped down the entire glass at ones, and burped slightly. He made a grimace. 'Yuk, that's really disgusting.' He started to gag a little.

…..

Another half an hour went, and Sirius had gotten really impatient. "When is this guy coming?" He asked Snape, rather annoyed. Snape only sighed, it had been the second time in five minute that Black had asked him that question. "I don't know," he answered, again. Sirius pursed his lips, worthy of McGonagall. "Do we even know who we are gonna meet? What if he is already here, and has passed us six times already?!" Snape rolled his eyes. "We are going to meet him in the back, the owner is already one of us." By that he meant one of The Dark Lord`s, a Death Eater. Because Sirius had joined the dark lords ranks. It had happened a couple of years ago. James or any of the Marauders wanted nothing to do with him, not after… Anyway, Sirius couldn't just stand there and let his friends ignore him, abandon him. Screw them! He had thought back then, and he still did. Let them pay for betraying him. So he had joined the dark lord. Who had promised he could do with them as he pleased when the war was over. First he was going to gut Lily Evans, for ever dare to even look at HIS James. He smirked slightly from the thought. How he yearned for the day when they were all going to pay tor betraying him.

Sirius train of thoughts ended when the bartender came over and whispered something into Snape`s ear. Snape nodded once and stood up. He looked down at Sirius. "He is here." Snape turned around and started to walk towards a door. Sirius jumped up eagerly, and started to scurry after him. Finally something was happening! Waiting wasn't something the Black liked very much.

The two black haired men went through the door, coming into a bit bigger room. This room was often used when someone didn't want to be heard. The room was filled with ruins on the wall, doing that no one could hear what that was said on the outside. In one of the corner a man was kneeling on the floor. His hands were bound behind his back, where a tall man stood, holding him down and pointing a wand under the kneeling man`s chin. The man had brown messy hair, saying that someone had very harshly thrown him into a wall earlier. A little stream of blood came down his temple. He was breathing rather harshly as well.

Sirius cocked his head. He looked familiar somehow. 'Maybe I've seen him before?' Snape stood motionless in front of him, and Sirius frowned slightly. 'What now?'

Severus swore to himself inwardly. 'Shit, this is not good.' The man in front of them were no other then Frank Longbottom. He had been gathering information for the Order of the Phoenix last couple of months. And it seems like someone had ratted him out. If Severus had known that if was Longbottom they had come to collect, he would have told Dumbeldore. He bit his lip. He had to do something, but he couldn't. He couldn't arouse suspicion. Black would have done anything to get rid of him. He hated his guts, and Severus had no warmer feelings for the former Gryffindor.

"Ah!" He heard someone proclaim behind him. "I know you! You are Frank Longbottom!" He could almost hear the foolish man grin behind him. "How`s it hanging Frankie? Or kneeling?" The man behind him started to bark with laughter. Severus ignored him.

Longbottom looked up, startled. He hadn't notes the two new people in the room. He widened his eyes when he saw Severus, and Severus could swear he could see hope go through the other mans eyes. 'I can't help you,' Severus thought sadly, 'Not yet.'

Black started to move towards the kneeling man. He just stood there for a couple of seconds, and Severus frowned slightly. 'What is he up to now?' Suddenly a foot came out and hit Frank hard on the cheek, throwing the brown haired men backwards. Severus took an alarming step forward and glares at Black. "What the hell are you doing?!" The other man looked back at Severus, with eyes that burned with hate and madness. Severus felt a chill go down his spine from the look. 'He has really lost it.' He shook his head slightly. Black sneered at him. "Let's get out of here." He leaned down, took his hand through Longbottoms hair and yanked it hard up. A small gasp came from the other man, and Severus had to hold himself back to not intervene. Black growled, "Get up!" and pulled him up with the grip on his hair. Longbottom howled slightly in pain, trying to butch from the other mans grip. That only made Black tightened his hold and kicked the other man in the skin.

Severus looked away and bit his lip. He didn't want or needed to look at what Black was going to do. Severus apparated back to the HQ. He sighed. 'What am I going to do?'

….

Black came back a couple of minutes later. With the prisoner a lot bloodier and beaten up then before.
