Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where could he be?
With his ears so short and his tail so long,
Oh where, oh where could he be?
Remus was stumped.
He couldn't find Sirius anywhere.
He tried looking in the kitchens. No luck.
The greenhouses. No luck, again.
Hagrid's hut. He wasn't there.
The Astronomy Tower. Not there either.
"Hogwarts is only so big… Where the hell could he be?!" he said to himself.
He found James and Lily sitting by the lake shore, skipping stones.
"'Ello, Moonsie. What's up?" James asked cheerfully.
"Have you two seen Sirius?"
Lily pondered for a moment. "Mmm… no, actually I haven't seen him all day."
James nodded. "Yeah, I haven't either. Sorry."
Remus sighed and gave them a small wave as he traipsed back to the castle. Once inside, he found Peter exiting the Great Hall from lunch.
"Peter!" he called.
The boy turned on his heel and grinned. "Hello, Moony. What're you up to?"
"Nothing, actually, but I can't find Sirius. Was he in there?"
"Er… not that I know of…"
"Have you seen him today? At all?"
Peter shook his head and Remus sighed again.
The two boys departed, going opposite directions down the hall. Around the corner, Remus ran into Snape.
"Well, if it isn't loopy little Lupin… unaccompanied, for once, by his little idiotic freaks you refer to as friends," he said darkly.
"I'm not looking for a fight, Snape. I'm looking for Sirius."
"Oh, well maybe I can be of assistance. He's probably in a rubbish bin, or rotting in a sewer where he clearly belongs." With that, he smirked and stalked off. Remus tsked.
He ran into several people after that meeting with Snape, all of them girls, so they knew perfectly well who Sirius was. He ended up asking a Ravenclaw 2nd year and 4th year, a large group of giggling Gryffindors of all ages and a couple Hufflepuffs in his year. All of them grinned dreamily at the mention of Sirius, but none of them seemed to know his whereabouts.
Frustrated, Remus retreated back to the common room. Perhaps he would start his homework and just wait for Sirius to appear.
He hopped up the stairs to the boy's dorm to get his schoolbag.
And when he opened the door, he found a dog with fur as black as the night, curled up on his bed, asleep.
