Here we are again folks! There'll be another round of Catch that Quote if any of you remember the last time. Feel free to voice your guesses as to what it's from in your reviews. As always, I own nothing.

Sirius starred at the woman who had once been his fiancé. He opened his mouth, and then closed it again. His throat had suddenly gone very dry. Finally, he managed to croak out-

"H-how you been?"

The moment the words left his mouth he wanted to kick himself. How'd she been? What sort of question was that to ask the woman you loved after not seeing her for over a decade?

Apparently Amy's thoughts agreed with his, because her face got very red, and her eyes and mouth narrowed sharply.

"How've I been? She seethed. "How've I been? Well let's see…" She began counting on her fingers, pacing back and forth to try and burn off some of the angry energy welling up inside her. "I've been in shock, in denial, interrogated, in therapy, indifferent as to whether you live or die, infuriated that you've never once written to me! Incised into tracking you down! HOW DO THINK I'VE BEEN?"

Sirius' eyebrows shot up "Never written to you? I was in Azkaban! They don't exactly host a postal service there!"

"Well you haven't been in Azkaban for the past three years have you?"

"I've been on the run! I haven't exactly had time for frivolities-"

"OH! So I'm a frivolity now?"

"No! You're just-"

"Excuse me," Ford's voice interrupted from the ground. "Not to be rude and interrupt this little lover's spat, but could you kindly GET OFF!" Sirius blinked in surprise, he had forgotten all about the man he'd tackled earlier. "Um, who are you again?" He asked, looking down at Ford.

"Ford Sacker, Amy's cousin." Ford answered dryly, annoyed that Sirius was still crushing his lungs with his weight. Sirius's eyes widened. "Really?" A grin began to grow on his face, "Wow, you were just a kid the last time I saw-"

"Before you begin reminiscing Sirius" a quiet voice interrupted " You should know the Ford's a member of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad duty bound to arrest you and take you back to Azkaban."

Sirius's head turned towards the interrupter. "Remus? What're you doing here?"

Remus Lupin, who had finally regained his vocal abilities, shrugged. "Honestly, I've been asking myself that for the past few days." "He's been helping us to track you down so that you can help lead us to Harry Potter." Ford answered. "Now could you please remove yourself, you're hindering my ability to breath."

Sirius ignored this, he looked at Remus with shock and hurt. "You're helping them track me down?" "To help save Harry!" Remus exclaimed, angry at Ford for associating him." And to stop you from doing anything else that could get you killed!"

"Oh, like being turned over to the Dementors is so much better than death!"

"I wasn't going to turn you over! I was planning on getting the information we needed

to find Harry and then knock Ford out and let you escape!"

"Remus!" Amy cried out in shock.

"Ok, that sounded worse then I meant it to." Remus said, beginning to sweat under the glares of both Amy and Sirius.

"Alright, at this point I'm going to begin fining you for obstructing an officer of the peace." Ford gasped out from beneath Sirius, but no one paid any attention.

"I can't believe you Remus! How could you do this to me?" Sirius shot at his soon to be ex-best friend.

"I did it because I didn't want you to keep doing stupid things like running around in plain sight!" Remus shot back.

"I do stupid things like running around in plain sight because I care about Harry!" Sirius yelled indignantly.

"Well I care too!" Cried Remus just as indignantly.

"Well why don't you say so?"

"I just did!"

"Stop yelling at each other!" Amy screamed at both of them.

For about two minutes the ware house walls reverberated with the screaming of insults and accusations as the three wizards lashed out at each other, and all the while Ford silently counted up the number of Knuts Sirius Black now owed him for continuing to stay seated on his chest. Finally, he decided this nonsense had gone on long enough. If his wand had been available, he probably would have stunned the lot of them. As it was, he made due with a

"WILL YOU ALL SHUT IT!"

If they hadn't all begun to run out of steam, they probably wouldn't have listened. But fate, and tireing vocal cords, were on Ford Sacker's side, and the screaming died down.

"Thank you. Now look, I can see that we all have…issues with Mr. Black here, heaven knows I have a few myself. But the point of finding him was to get him to help lead us to Harry so we could save him from the various Death Eaters now roaming the country, including, if I may add Black, your own cousin."

Sirius was shocked, "Bellatrix is out of Azkaban?" "She and several others of her ilk escaped several days ago. The Ministry believes you to be responsible, obviously this is not the case. Mr. Lupin, Amy and I are of the same persuasion as your godson, the Dark Lord is obviously behind the breakout, and if he's half as dangerous as they say he's probably got his best men and obviously women scouring the country to find Potter. Now as much as I'd like to see you get the justice you deserve, right now we need to focus on finding Harry before You-Know-Who does, and you can help us with that."

Ford turned his head as much as he could so that his next statement was applicable to the entire room. "So until we do find Potter, I'm declaring a Truce between all parties, agreed?"

A long silence, followed by a round of begrudged mumbling in the affirmative answered his question. Ford nodded in appreciation, and then turned his gaze back up to Sirius. "Now, Black, if you could-"

But at that point Ford's air supply finally gave out, and his words were stopped by a large guttural gasp. Alarmed by the sound, Sirius shot up off of him like a startled puppy, and Ford was able to roll onto his stomach, gasping for air.

After Amy had given him several vigorous pumps on the back, (glaring at Sirius all the while) and Remus had helped him to his feet (Ignoring Sirius's glare) Ford was able to continue his sentence. "As I was cough cough saying… Black, do you have any idea of the whereabouts of Harry Potter?"

Sirius crossed his arms, and glowered at Ford defiantly. "Why on earth should I help you? Why do you even want to find Harry anyway? The rest of the Ministry seems pretty happy that he's disappeared from what I've gathered."

"To answer you're first question" Ford said, "You should help because One: You want to find your godson, Two: You obviously haven't found him on your own, so evidently you need some assistance, assistance that we can supply. Three, and most importantly, if you refuse to help us, I'm duty bound to arrest you here and now."

Sirius looked like he wanted to say something angry, but Ford cut him off, "Let me finish. If, however, you chose to aid us, and I think you will, I promise on my honor as an officer of MLES and a member of the Order of Selene" (Here Amy rolled her eyes Heavenward) "That I will desist from arresting you until Mr. Potter is found and left in the safety of either Hogwarts school or his legal guardian."

"Wow," Sirius said in a sarcastic monotone " That's such a big incentive for me to help". "I'll give you a five minute head start and Portkey to Casablanca." Ford offered, "After that you're free game again."

Sirius considered the offer. True, it was really a lose-lose situation, but….he had to admit, he did need help, especially if Bellatrix and her lot were now a factor. Also, as angry as he was at him right now, after what he'd seen yesterday, he desperately needed to confide what he'd seen to Remus. He'd know if Sirius were crazy or not. Truthfully, he hoped he was, at least a little bit, because at least then things would make sense. Because that girl…well, it was impossible! She couldn't be… could she?

At any rate, Remus would know, or at least be able to offer some insight…And he had to admit, he was not opposed to spending some more time with Amy, though she probably wanted to chuck him back into Azkaban herself right now. Sirius smiled in his mind, if there was one thing he was good at, it was getting Amy to stop being mad at him. If he hadn't been so skilled at this, they would have broken up long before he'd managed to propose…

Sirius pondered all this for a moment longer, and then stuck out his hand towards Ford's. "Deal." Ford grasped his hand, shaking it firmly. "Excellent." Then he pulled Sirius closer, and with a twisted smile, whispered loudly, "But don't think this means we're on equal footing, I'm in charge here Black. And I intend to keep you on a very short leash."

"Oh, ha ha." Sirius said dryly, "Did you make that up yourself? Or is it part of the Standard Training of MLES officers to be skilled in the art of cheesy case related humor?"

Amy rolled her eyes again, shooting a weary glance over at Remus. He shrugged, rolling his own eyes. This was going to be a very long mission.

Well, there you are. I'll probably do Hermione again next. This was a really fun chapter for me to write, it was nice to just be loose and funny. Well, as always, reviews are always welcome, thank you for reading and for previous reviews! Good night all!
