((BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Yet another chapter! And thus we enter year 3, two murderers run rampant with murderous beasts! And still, Ananda believes she can trust in her friends, this is just too fun....As always, I don't own HP, I'm not Rowling and only Ananda, Alaina and Derek are mine. Please R/R/E (read, review and ENJOY...I felt the need to change it))
"You're...you're letting that thing teach?!"
Ananda fell to the floor, startled. She sat back up and looked over her bed.
"Calm down, Severus. As long as you brew the proper potion for him monthly, he will be of no threat to anyone."
Something dangerous was coming to the school? The mere thought terrified Ananda. Even more so that Uncle Severus seemed scared. She stood up and walked into the room.
"What are you yelling about, Uncle Severus?"
Severus looked at Professor Dumbledore and then back at Ananda.
"Nothing that concerns you, Ananda. Why don't you go get ready for breakfast?"
"Alright, Uncle Severus." Ananda then turned to Professor Dumbledore. "Who's going to be our new professor for defense against this year?"
"Ah yes, defense against the dark arts. I date say that I have found the best professor that could possible be found, Professor Remus Lupin. He was a classmate of your uncle's, Ananda."
"Really? Is he here yet?"
"He will be here in a matter of days."
Ananda smiled as she walked back into her room. As always, the house-elves had laid out her uniform the night before and she took her time getting dressed until the owl came. It rapped its beak against her window and she opened it to let the little bird in. Clutched in the owl's beak was the Daily Prophet, the front page showing a madman in a fight of laughter. She carefully took the paper from the owl and handed it an assortment of coins and a bit of food she had saved for it from dinner the night before. Then it hit her, the unthinkable had happened someone had broken out of Azkaban, someone named Sirius Black. She pulled her blouse on and ran into the potions room where Severus was fuming over a complicated potion. Beside him was a large open book. Ananda walked over and started reading the pages.
"Uncle Severus? Why are you making a wolfsbane potion? Aren't those for werewolves? Is there gonna be a werewolf at school?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Ananda. Do you honestly think Professor Dumbledore would allow a murderous beast like that into the school?"
"I guess not...I almost forgot!"
Ananda handed Professor Snape the newspaper and his eyes widened the moment he saw the headlines.
"Sirius Black...escaped..." He glared at the picture as it laughed maniacally and then turned back to Ananda. "Take this to Professor Dumbledore, Ananda, this is extraordinarily important."
"Of course, Uncle Severus."
Ananda took back the paper and turned back to the door. Before she left she couldn't help but wonder who is Sirius Black? Uncle Severus has seemed to know but hadn't told her. Could there be more he wasn't telling?
