After It All…
All right! New chapter! Hey, for all you who haven't read my other story "Memories" please do, I really like it and I want all of you to go read it and review! ;)
Late in the night, Sirius got up. He walked to the door and gently pushed it open peeking into the hallway, he saw nothing. He walked out into the kitchen and walked to the door.
Damn he thought, it's locked… I will have to unlock it… I need to be in human form… Sirius glanced behind him to make sure nobody was watching. Then, he transformed. He quickly fumbled at the lock and finally, after what seemed like ages, it clicked and opened slightly. Sirius returned to his dog form and padded quietly into the night.

Shaina woke up and quickly got dressed. Lynnea jumped over to her when she was done dressing.
"'Untie Shaina! We're gunna go see Snuffles today!"
"Err, yes we are…"
"well?! Come on!" Lynnea grabbed her aunt's arm and dragged her out to Colleen.
"Ready to leave this horrid place?" Colleen said looking at Shaina.
"Yes." Shaina said looking around. Shaina had always hated hospitals. She had been in them numerous times and two of the times were the worst times of her life. The three of them walked out the door and headed to Stuart Bracer's cabin.
~-~-~-~
Stuart paced the floor. Sirius Black… I can't believe it… Matthias looked at him.
"Are you sure he transformed to Sirius Black? Maybe he just looked like him…" but Matthias knew it was true His friend… ruined his life… maybe Sirius Black is innocent? Framed by his ex-friend?
"It was him… but what's bothering me is why did he leave, and where is he going?" Stuart said glancing out the window at the large amounts of snow barreling down upon the house. Suddenly a knock on the door interrupted the men's thoughts.
Stuart walked to the door and opened it.
"Hello"
"Hello!" Said a woman, in her early forties. "I am Colleen Godin, this is my sister, Shaina O'Malley, and my daughter, Lynnea. We are looking for a dog, a black dog, he saved my daughters life a couple days ago, and my sister saw him with you. Is this where he lives?"
Stuart and Matthias exchanged glances and Shaina caught Stuart's eye He ran away… Shaina knew suddenly do these people know who he is? She thought.
"H-He ran away last night ma'am. Err, Shaina? Might I be able to talk to you? I think you have the answer to a question I am pondering…"
shaina looked a bit shocked "Uh, ok…" Stuart led her down a hall into a room. HE then turned to her.
"You know who he is don't you?" he asked
"Err… yes I think I do."
"I saw him… he had to transform to unlock the door… he didn't know I was watching… Its Sirius Black isn't it?"
Shaina looked at him. "I knew it… It is Sirius…"
"I thought I was going crazy for awhile until I saw you… I just had a feeling you knew."
Shaina nodded then suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think he's guilty?"
Stuart was startled and stared for a few moments then blinked and replied.
"I think… I think he is innocent."
Shaina released her breath
"I think he's innocent too" came a voice from the door.
Shaina spun around to see Matthias walking towards them.
"I was talking to him last night… well I would talk and he would write on a piece of paper… but that's not the point… He told me that one of his friends ruined his life, and killed his best friend… Sirius Black's best friend was James Potter, correct? He died, which leaves me to, who was the traitor?"
Shaina stared at him. "Peter Pettigrew…" She murmured. She had already pondered the fact that maybe Sirius was framed, and had already dismissed the idea of Remus Lupin doing anything like that… but Peter… maybe he staged his own death to save himself from Sirius…
"But he's dead Sirius killed…" Matthias' mouth dropped. He hit himself on the head
"How could I have missed that! It was Peter Pettigrew! He staged his death to save his own ass!"
Shaina remained silent. He's innocent… Shaina felt as if 20 pounds of lead were removed from her back. He is innocent…
Stuart looked out the window again. The snow was coming down so hard they could barely see a foot in front of the window.
"I doubt he'll last long out there… suppose we should go find him?"
"Well, what else can we do? Come on lets go find him…" Matthias said a little nervously. He's afraid of Sirius. I can't blame him. He knows that Sirius is innocent but still… he's a convicted murderer…
They went to the front door.
"Colleen?" Shaina said calmly "We are going to find him. You and Lynnea go home, I'll see you in a few days or so."
Lynnea sighed and nodded. Colleen spoke for her "Alright, be careful, it's awful bad out here, you could get hurt."
"Yes, just go home."

Sirius felt so tired. He had traveled many miles and was still moving. Suddenly, Sirius realized he couldn't feel anything. He stopped and sat down. Suddenly a burst of heat came. So warm… he thought to himself as he lied down in the snow. So warm…Sirius could feel the snow covering him, but he made no attempt to get it off of himself. He just lies there, until he feels himself drift into a deep sleep…
