NOTE: I haven't edited this chapter yet, so it's still pretty rough. You've been warned! :)


Annabeth looked at Selena with a grim and teary expression. "The teachers have locked my dad up here at school somewhere... they're going to kill him..."


2 Minutes Later

Selena and Annabeth were racing through the halls with Filch angrily yelling to them. Running past the Clock Tower they saw Harry Potter and Hermione Granger inside of the Hospital Wing. They were talking to Dumbledore.

"What we need," She heard Dumbledore say. "is more time."

"But-" Hermione began. Then suddenly she shouted, "OH!"

Selena elbowed Annabeth and they quickly slipped behind a pillar and watched them.

"Now, pay attention," Dumbledore said. "Sirius is locked in Professor Flitwick's office on the seventh floor. Thirteenth window from the right of the West Tower. If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one innocent life tonight. But remember this both of you: You must not be seen. Miss Granger, you know the law- you know what is at stake... You-must-not-be-seen."

Annabeth gave a small sigh. "Dumbledore knows that dad is innocent..." She whispered and wiped her eyes.

Dumbledore turned around quickly and both of the girls ducked back behind the pillar and watched as Dumbledore walked to the door.

"I am going to lock you in. Miss Granger, three turns should do it. Good luck." He said as the door shut.

Annabeth and Selena put their heads back out as Harry Potter called "Good luck?" To Dumbledore. "Three turns? What is he talking about? What are we supposed to do?"

Selena could see Hermione Granger suddenly messing around with the top of shirt. "What is she..." She began to say, but then watched as Hermione pulled a long gold chain from under her sweater.

"Harry, come here," she said very urgently. "Quick!"

Selena suddenly noticed that there was a small hourglass attached to the chain. A thought racked through her mind: A Time-Turner? Didn't Wendy have one of those things?

"Here-" Hermione said throwing the chain around Harry's neck.

"Ready?" She asked breathlessly.

"What are we doing?" Harry asked in a lost tone.

Just as Hermione was about to put her hand on the hourglass Annabeth gasped and stepped out from the pillar. Selena opened her eyes wide and began to think, is she crazy? until Hermione groaned and Harry looked puzzled.

"Annie, what are you doing here? Dumbledore said that-"

Annabeth cut him off. "Hermione! You have a Time Turner and you never told me?"

Hermione looked surprised. "You know what it is?"

"What is what? Look, Annie, we really have to go and-"

"No! I'm going to help dad too. Selena c'mon," Annabeth said.

"Selena?" Harry and Hermione both asked.

Selena stepped out from behind the pillar with a sheepish, "Hello..."

Hermione smacked her head. "I thought I heard someone! Look, both of you, we don't have much time, so just come here now!"

Selena and Annabeth quickly walked over to Hermione and Harry and Hermione tossed the chain around them. The watched as Hermione turned the hourglass over three times and suddenly the Hospital Wing disappeared. Selena felt like she was moving very fast, backward. A blur of colors and shapes rushed past her, and she tried to yell, but didn't hear anything. Then, suddenly she felt solid ground and everything came into focus.

She was standing next to Annabeth, Hermione, and Harry in the deserted entrance hall and a stream of golden sunlight fell across the paved floor. She looked around and seemed to feel as confused as Harry looked.

"Hermione, what-?" Harry began.

"In here!" Hermione shouted and began to lead them after pulling the chain led them to a broom cupboard, shoved them in, and locked the door.

"What-how-Hermione, what happened?" Harry asked. Annabeth smiled, and Selena was too confused to speak.

"We've gone back in time," Hermione whispered. "Three hours back..."

"But-" Harry began but Hermione shushed him and he became quiet.

"Listen! Someone's coming! I think- I think it might be us!" Hermione whispered pressing her ear to the cupboard door. "Yes, I'm sure it's us. It doesn't sound like more than three people... and we're walking slowly because we're under the Invisibility Cloak-" She paused for a moment. "We've gone down the front steps..." Then, she sat down on a pail that was overturned.

"Where did you get that hourglass thing?" Selena finally asked and Harry nodded.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and Hermione looked at them. "It's called a Time-Turner," Hermione whispered. "And I got it from Professor McGonagall on our first day back. I've been using it all year to get to all my lessons-"

"Hermione," Annabeth interrupted. "I'll tell Selena. But right now, I have to go. Me and Selena will go over to Flitwick's. You and Harry do whatever. Stall a teacher and don't be seen. I already know about Time-Turner's."

"But-" Hermione started to protest. Seeing the determined look on Annabeth's face made her change her mind. "Fine... But be careful. Don't run into you're selves. Trouble will start. Be careful."

Annabeth nodded and quietly opened the closet door. Selena stepped out. Hermione shut the door behind them.

"Annabeth... what's going on? Wen- I mean someone had one of those. They make you go back in time? Does that mean we're not where we were?" Selena asked.

Annabeth looked around hurriedly. "Look..." She shoved Selena behind a coulomb and looked serious. "We went back in time, and we're still wherever. We can let them see us. Where are we anyway?"

Selena looked around. "We're close to the Dungeons. Flitwicks is that way," She said pointing to a long hall leading to stairs.

"Lead the way. Quickly."

Selena quickly began to run through the halls. Flitwicks classroom was practically a few miles away. Thoughts running through Selena's mind, she was just trying to avoid Annabeth blowing up at anyone about Sirius when they got there. No doubt the room would be guarded. She immediately made sure her wand was in her pocket. It was. Continuing to run, they finally stopped at the corner before Flitwick's classroom.

"Ready?" Selena whispered.

Annabeth nodded. They both stepped out and looked. No one was there. The door was open. Nothing.

"What?" Annabeth said, apparently just as confused as Selena. Not thinking though, Selena looked inside of the classroom. No one was there.

"No one's inside," She told Annabeth.

Annabeth suddenly had a look on her face that was both startled and angry. "Of course... He's an Animagus... Look. Come with me I think I know where he is."

20 Minutes Later

After a long time of constant running, Selena and Annabeth finally reached a courtyard where they had seen a Hippogriff land with three people riding on its back.

Sure enough Hermione was sitting on a stone bench while tucked in a corner, Harry was talking to a man. Annabeth slowly walked over to Hermione. Selena stood beside them too.

The man looked up and Selena saw him in the few rays the moon allowed. He was thin, yet muscular. He had tattered prisoner robes and she could see a tattoo of numbers on his neck. Curly messed up brown rested on his head along with forming a short beard. His grey eyes seemed friendly and wise, almost like Dumbledore's.

He whispered a sing word then: "Annie..."

Selena watched as Annabeth began to cry and ran over to the man. Now, Selena understood that he was Sirius. The Hippogriff made a clucking noise before nudging Selena's hand.

Selena saw Annabeth hugging Sirius and her fiery hair blowing in the wind that made her shiver. "Dad..." Selena heard Annabeth whisper.

"Annie... Oh, Annabeth. I've missed you so much... I wish you didn't have to see me like this... But, don't cry. I'll see you in a little while. Dumbledore will understand. Now, Macnair... He's another story."

"I'll kill him if he tries to take you away again," Annabeth said.

Sirius chuckled. "Well, leave that to me. Now, I must go. I love you so much... Did Harry help you?"

Annabeth let go of him at that moment. She shook her head slowly. "No... actually... Selena did."

"Selena... Where is she?" Sirius responded.

Annabeth pointed and Sirius looked up. Normally Selena would have been shy, but something about Sirius Black seemed very familiar.

"Selena..." Sirius repeated. "What's you're fathers name?"

Selena looked at him. That's a weird question... She thought, but answered. "Castor."

Sirius nodded. "I thought so... He changed his last name didn't he. What's your last name?"

"Malast."

Sirius nodded again. "Yes, he did... Selena would come closer?"

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Selena slowly walked to the Sirius. His face broke into a smile. "I may dislike my brother a bit, but he was my friend. This might be a shock but, I have two brothers. Regulus and... Castor. He had a daughter I had heard about. Her name was Selena. And... here you are."

Annabeth and Harry gaped and Selena was stunned. But, then it all fell into place. Why he looked familiar, why they had the same eyes, and why her dad sometimes talked about the innocent in Azkaban and that Padfoot would get out. Just a few days ago, she had heard Harry say Padfoot and then seen a dog out in the courtyard. He looked just like the one in all of her dads photos, so she had nicknamed it Padfoot. Annabeth had called Sirius an Animagus and there were claw marks when the Fat Lady was attacked. It had been Sirius that had been the dog.

"So... me and Selena are... cousins?" Annabeth asked, sounding disgusted.

Sirius nodded. "Don't worry. You'll get used to it." He gave a small laugh and put a hand on Annabeth's shoulder.

"Not to bother this... but, Harry... We have to hurry, dementor's are coming. Macnair's gone to get them," Hermione said stepping forward.

Harry nodded. "Hermione's right. Sirius, hop on Buckbeak."

Sirius nodded and then he quickly found a way up onto the Hippogriff.

"Okay, Buckbeak, up!" Harry said, shaking the rope around Buckbeaks neck ."Up to the tower- come on!"

The Hippogriff began to hover u and started to fly up a bit.

"Sirius, you'd better go, quick. They'll reach Flitwick's office any moment, they'll find out you're gone," Harry panted.

"How can I every thank-" Sirius began.

"GO!" Harry and Hermione shouted together.

Sirius Black smiled. "We'll see each other again Annie... You are truly you're father's son Harry..."

With that, Buckbeak began to fly up into the sky until... They were gone.


Yay! This chapter is done! Now, I have decided to make 1 more chapter to speed everything up. Also, wasn't this chapter adorable? ^_^

Sirius Black is my second favorite character! So, I wanted to make a relation of Selena to him. So, I added a brother! Also, yes. That means that Selena and Annabeth are related to Bellatrix and Draco Malfoy. I don't mind that, because they're in my favorites too!

Well, I can't wait to do the next chapter and sorry this took so long! I've been working on it, and perfecting it! It's not great, but I think I did alright. I did use most of the dialogue from the book, so it's pretty Harry-Potter-ish. Haha.

Also, please review! I need to know what you guys think! Also, I'm scared to think what Annabeth's going to be like when Sirius dies. Yikes.

Hehe. Well, thanks for reading. Please tell me what you think. So REVIEW and angels get their wings! Yay! Little baby angels with wings! You don't want to keep them from getting their wings do you? Haha! =D

Bye!
