Author's note: Hi, been a while since I updated. Well, this chapter has been taking ages to try and form. I finally had an idea. And, I am not sure how many people are going to take it, but I hope it goes well. Anyway, here's chapter 36


Chapter 35 – The Fourth year begins, and the breaking news

Cia sat in a compartment, waiting for her friends to find. She was going through her photo album, putting new pictures in. Including one of her and harry in their animagus forms, and one with them, their grandparents and Lupin. She make sure they were straight, before placing several charms on them so they wouldn't get wet, fade, or fall out.

"Good afternoon." Al joined her and signed. "It's been a long summer."

"I know what you mean." Cia agreed. "But, mine was fun nonetheless."

"Yeah, what happened?" Al looked at her. Cia showed her the picture of the animagus forms. "You got a pet hippogriff?"

"No, that's Harry." Cia told her. Al looked at the picture in shock.

"You serious?" She looked at her friend, Cia nodded

"I made the potion, and well, I guess Harry and I share the same curiosity." Cia smiled. "Next thing I knew, we had a hippogriff in the house. Granddad thought I brought a wild magical creature into the house."

"I expected so. Wow, that potion really works then?" Al smiled. "That is pretty cool."

"Yep, I could make up another batch if you want to become an animagus." Cia offered.

"Na, I'm good." Al told her. They looked up as Gia and Bella walked in Gia looked upset, whilst Bella looked furious.

"What's wrong?" Cia asked

"Draco wanted to go and play with Harry on the station, but dad ended up having a go at him. You should have seen Draco's face." Gia sighed.

"I think he got mad because Draco kept going on about how great it will be when he and harry at Hogwarts, and they can be best friends, along with Neville and Ron. Uncle Lucius hates the Weasley's." Bella frowned.

"And, no offence to you Gia, or you Bella, My dad hates your dad just as much." Charlie joined them. he sat next to Cia. "We saw what he said to Draco, you should have seen Ron look at Dad as my dad was practically muttering curses under his breath."

"How I make the potion for Draco?" Cia muttered, everyone looked at her, she had a faint smile. "Becoming animagi helped my dad and his friends become closer. And they could sneak out at night. If I make Draco the potion, he could sneak out of the castle at night to meet harry, if they are not in the same house of course."

"That is a brilliant idea…what the potion worked then?" Gia asked. Cia showed the rest the picture of the dragon and hippogriff. They all laughed.

"Well, Hogwarts should be fun when he starts." Bella laughed. "Shame we are going to miss it."

"Yeah, but are totally going to hear about it." Cia grinned.

"Yeah, I can believe that." Charlie nodded.

"So, plans for this year?" Bella changed the subject, more of their friends joined they as they talking about the coming year.

The feast was fun as usual, and Cia sent some treats back for Harry. Little did she know the excitement the next day would bring.

"Oh sweet bread of merlin!" Cia rushed down from the common room, Al was waiting for her. She was holding a letter. The other Gryffindor's were watching.

"What's up?" Al asked

"They are finally giving my godfather a trail!" Cia laughed, holding out the letter. "My grandparents wrote to the ministry at the beginning of the holidays. They have been thinking about it since." Cia looked at Al with teary eyes. "I will finally see him again!" Al smiled and hugged her friend as she cried.

"That's great Cia. When's the trail?" Al asked

"No idea." Cia wiped her eyes and beamed. "But sure as hell am I going! I was there that day, before going to yours. I know the plan that no one else knew! My godfather and I are the only ones who do. Oh, and Dumbledore." Cia smiled "Come on, lets grab breakfast."

Everyone noticed the huge Change in Cia's character, though she still paid attention in lessons, she found herself doodling and writing random notes to no one. She was getting her godfather back, and that's all she cared about. No one else found out about it until the next morning.

"You should be careful Cia. They may be releasing him." A Ravenclaw said as they passed her in the great hall, she was alone at the time.

"Excuse me?" She smiled

"Sirius Black." They said. "They may be releasing him."

"Oh, yeah. Isn't it great?" Cia beamed.

"Hey, he's the reason's they're dead!" They glared at her, in which Cia's demeanour changed, she glared up at the Ravenclaw.

"Here's a hint, as a Ravenclaw lets hope you are wise enough to listen to me. You know nothing of that NIGHT, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY GODFATHER, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT NIGHT!" Cia ended up yelling. The hall fell silent, McGonagall rose from her seat as did Dumbledore. "Once the trail is over, you'll all see! Until then, if I hear anyone insulting my godfather, just, run." Cia glared, she then walked off. The school watched her, Bella took a large bite of bacon sandwich to stop herself laughing, but it only led to her choking on it. Gia laughed and patted her back.

That night Cia found herself writing to her godfather, hopefully they would allow him to get mail.

Dear Uncle Padfoot,

Scales here, I heard about your trail, I am so glad. Once you are free, and I am sure you will be, you need to come to Potter manor. Harry and I are living there now. I can't wait to see you again. I will be at the trail, count on it. I missed you some much. I have so much to tell you. But, I guess I should tell you I am a Gryffindor. And I love it. I am friends with loads of people from other houses too. We are all on your side.

Scales.

Cia read her letter and smiled, she folded it and wrote Sirius Black on it. She called her owl and sent him off with it, she watched him, finally, everything was coming back together. She smiled, she knew it wouldn't have been possible without her grandparents support in Sirius, they were cirtical for his freedom. Cia lay down on her bed and sighed. 'soon' she thought 'soon.'
