A/N: Ok, so , nothing super mega exciting in this chapter. But she gets to talk to Harry and to tell the twins something. Here's another chapter. Enjoy

Chapter 42: The Marauder

Draco's point of view:

I woke up next morning to hear something softly breathing. I slightly turned into my bed, wincing when I accidentally sat on my injured arm, to see a sleeping Selene sitting on a chair next to my curtain surrounded bed. She was sleeping with a calm expression on her face, although once in a while her face would twist in a frown. Still wearing her school robes, faintly I remembered her coming after me the last day. Her head was echoing with her mental screams when the beast's claw digged into Golden Boy's leg. It looked painful on him, let alone her. Her brown hair was falling in slight waves on the back of the chair and she had her legs pulled to her chest.

Breaking my gaze, I turned to examine my left arm. Fortunately, the right one wasn't harmed so I could write, and even better, the spitting image of the Dark Mark was out of view, hidden under the white cast covering me to the elbow. The bloody Hipogriff broke my arm. Well, it hurt her more than me, she walked on her legs. But still, it was very dangerous. It had to be dealt with.

The moment I tried to get out of bed, she jumped in her seat and her eyes shot open. Her surprise immediately melted into a smile as she saw me.

"You woke up. I'm sorry for your arm, but you know, arrogance isn't doing you any good."

"But I wasn't-"

"Trying to be better than Harry again is arrogance before you say anything. And young lad, don't you ever think of doing anything to Hagrid of Buckbeak as it was your fault for what happened."

My eyes widened in surprise. Had she just-

"What? You think if I'm sleeping I don't hear you?"

Selene's point of view:

He sunk under my angry look and sheepishly murmured.

"I'm sorry. It's just that...everyone thinks Potter's the best because he supposedly is The Boy Who Lived. And I know that's not true and-"

"You're jealous"

He opened his mouth to contradict me but I silenced him.

"Now, I'll go to breakfast and taunt Pansy a little. She'll probably come to see you later. " he groaned

I ran to the Great Hall only to be met with a weird sight. Absolutely everyone seemed to be tired and all the Prefects, the Head Boy and Head Girl practically slept in their shoes. I plopped down between the twins and looked at all of them. Hermione and Ron were nearly falling on Harry's shoulders, he had to try three times until he actually put his spoon into the porridge bowl and Fred and George fell on me as soon as I said. "Merlin's beard, what happened to all of you?" I asked nobody in particular. Harry answered between yawns.

"Well, last-last night when we were going ba-back to our common room after dinner we saw the Fat Lady's por-portrait teared up. And she-she told us it was Sirius Black. So while the teachers and Prefects were searching the s-school, they had us sleep here. We fel-fell asleep late."

"Dammn it Padfoot !" I whispered to myself. That seemed to wake the twins up.

"What did..."

"...you just say?"

"Nothing" I said with a brilliant smile. I knew they had the Map, but they didn't know much about the Marauders as I never told them.

"By the way Sel, what did you do yesterday? I didn't see you after Care of Magical Creatures. " Hermione asked more awake.

" Well, I ran to the Hospital Wing to check on Harry after his leg got hurt but I tripped over a forgotten broom and knocked my head on the stairs." Harry winced at that and looked guilty, but I didn't pay attention to that. "I had to stay there the whole night. Malfoy kept complaining about his arm" I said loud enough for the little pug snake to hear. "But from what Madame Pomfrey said, Buckbeak actually broke his arm." A gasp was heard over two tables as Pansy ran from the Great Hall.

"Probably going to check on her boyfriend." Ron smirked, obviously more awake after shoving food down his throat. I frowned a little, but only Fred and George saw it. I anticipated taunting from the two idiots now.

"Whatever, did they catch Black?"

"No, and now the most ridiculous rumors are going around. Some say that he can turn into a bush" I burst out with laughter at this.

" Well, we don't actually know if it is true. But one thing we know for sure: He's dangerous, really dangerous."

Dangerous...the word floated into my mind and went deeper until I remembered my dream. Maybe he wasn't really dangerous, but I surely was more dangerous than they thought Sirius was. I had to research on Horcruxes, to find out how to destroy them.

But first, I had to find out what Padfoot wanted, and maybe prove him innocent.

After breakfast, I dragged the twins to their room. Their dormmates just left for breakfast after changing in new clothes after a night in the Great Hall.

"Look, I have to tell you something. But first, give me the map, I have to check something." they looked confused, but pulled it from under a bed and handed it to me. I tapped it with my wand.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good."

I opened it as traces of steps appeared everywhere and desperately checked the whole map until I found what I was looking for. In the Shreiking Shack two footsteps were pacing round the room with the name of someone I longed to see above them: Sirius Black.

I closed the map and turned to the boys.

"Look, Sirius is in the Shreiking Shack. I need you two to come with me because I have to find out why he's here. And more important, why he tried to enter the Gryffindor tower last night."

They looked scared at me.

"C'mon, you know he's harmless. I already told you."

"It's not that we're afraid of..."

"...him, but...the Shreiking..."

"...Shack? What if something..."

"...happens to us there?"

"Oh, right, I didn't tell you about that. Look, it's not haunted, it's just a rumor. Trust me, I know for sure, it's just as haunted as my muggle aunt's house. We're safe."

"Ok then..."

"...we'll come with you, after all,..."

"...what kind of knights would we be if..."

"...we let our princess alone?"

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you. He's...he's Padfoot."

"WHAT???" they screamed together

"Ok, calm down. It would've ruined the fun if you knew."

"Then that means you..."

"...know who the others are?" I sighted

"My father was Prongs , Lupin is Moony and the filthy traitor was Wormtail"

I opened my mouth again to tell them about my dream, but I couldn't bring myself to do it so I shook my head and exited the room.

As we were about to exit through the portrait hole, Harry entered and came straight to me. The common room was empty, except the four of us.

"Sel, can I have a word?" He asked eyeing the twins.

"Harry, they know, remember? "

"Oh, right. Well then. Sis, why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?" there was so many things I didn't tell him that I couldn't even try and guess what was it.

He sighted and took a deep breath.

"Yesterday when I was in the Hospital Wing, Madame Pomfrey told me about our...pain connection."

My jaw dropped. How-why did she tell him? He was going to be even more annoying now.

"Well, you were already getting beaten so much, and hurt with Quidditch and stuff...I didn't want you thinking of me too."

"You're my sister! Of course I'm thinking of you. Especially since apparently you were in so much more pain than me all these years. I seriously am surprised you're still alive!"

"C'mon, it's not so bad. I never got open wounds or bruises because of that. Besides, I have experience with strong pain now, I can face the Cruciatus curse now without screamed I suppose."

All three of them had stunned expressions on their faces.

"What? Never mind. We gotta go. See you later Harry."

As we got into the Shreiking Shack, my heart was pounding heavily against my chest. I was going to see him again. And he got out of Azkaban. Maybe we can clear his name and Harry won't have to stay with the Dursleys anymore. I slowly opened the door of the room where I knew he was and breathed deeply.

As we entered the room my gaze fell on my brother's godfather. He wasn't too tall and he got skinny in the prison. His long unkempt black curls fell over his haunted eyes and he looked at with a mix of curiosity and fear. I threw myself at him.

"Uncle Padfoot! I never thought I'll see you again."

He looked at me very confused.

"Who are you?" he said in a hoarse voice. Behind it though I could still hear his smooth tone, the voice from eleven years ago, the voice that argued with mom when he dressed Harry and myself into bikers for our birthday and took us for a ride, the voice that sometimes read us bedtime stories...

A wicked smirk appeared on my face. I took a step back and faked an innocent smile.

"You mean you don't remember me?" I asked as my hair turned jet black and two black dog ears sprouted on the top of my head. His eyes widened and I could see the old spark in his eyes and something more: hope.

"Little Prongslet!" He exclaimed pulling me into a hug "Oh, Merlin, I-I thought you were dead! The papers, they said there were no survivors except Harry."

"I got out of there fast."

"And who are your friends?" he requested, turning his attention to the twins.

"Oh, they are Fred and George Weasley."

"Oh, the kids of Molly and Arthur. Have you-"

"Yeah, met Molly last Christmas. I freaked out when she saw me floating in the middle of the room."

We kept chatting like that, the boys finally meeting one of the Marauders properly and we stood there for hours while they exchanged prank ideas and I told Sirius all that happened in the last eleven years. It almost made me forget about the Horcrux thing. But I couldn't delay it forever. I had to deal with it eventually.

A/N: Well, hope you liked it. Btw, tomorrow I'll post another story, since I had an idea for some days and finally wrote it down. I don't know, for sure, but I think it'll be a two shot, not a one shot and I hope I'll put both of the chapters tomorrow. I hope you'll like that too.
