SECOND TO GO- *Three*
dedicated to holly for dedicating her last story to me....
A Very Irate Cornelius Fudge sat at his desk, he'd had not one, two or three but FOUR sightings of Sirius Black in the past two days. He'd reported this to all his Aurors in service and they'd stepped up their plans. Well, all but one. He'd received no reply from Miss DuCruet, which was strange. Especially as the last sighting of Sirius was near Hogwarts. He was waiting for his valet to arrive so he could have his travelling cloak buffed before he left for Hogwarts. He had a sneaking suspicion that where that werewolf went, Sirius wouldn't be far behind.

"So, you went to Scotland?" Harry asked excidedly, "Did you wear a kilt as camouflage?"
"Very funny." Sirius grinned. "I, myself didn't but my dear friend sitting next to me, did."
"Lupin!" Harry exclaimed
"It was a dare." Remus smiled, "He told me to show of my legs, so i did."
"He can't refuse a dare." Sirius poked his old friend. "Can ya!"
"Padfoot..." Remus said warningly.
"Uhm, Sirius, can i ask you something?"
Sirius felt his grin slide, "Errr, okay."
Remus frowned, he knew what was coming.
"It's about Professor DuCruet..."
"How did i guess." Sirius smiled, "Yeah, go ahead..."
"STOP RIGHT THERE! SIRIUS BLACK YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FROM THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC." A redfaced Fudge screamed as he and some fellow Aurors ran into the room, magically binding Sirius in chains.
"HARRY! GET AWAY FROM HIM." Fudge ordered. Harry stood still as some aurors he did not recognise started advancing toawrds his godfather. Lupin stayed calm, just staring at Fudge.
"Now, really!" Dumbledore blocked the way to the door. "Do you really think that this is..."
"YES I DO. EXCUSE ME FOR TAKING AWAY A VERY DANGEROUS MURDERER FROM YOUR SCHOOL!" Fudge pushed past Dumbledore, his aurors dragging a fully bound Sirius out of the room. He turned back, looking pleadingly at Remus and Harry, before the door slammed shut.
"Headmaster!" Remus ran towards a slightly tired loking Dumbledore, "You didn't stop him?"
"What can i do?" Dumbledore shook his head sadly "I can't directly disobey the minister of magic, Remus. Even i have to adhere to rules."
Harry was dumbstruck, couldnt even move from his spot, five minutes ago they were laughing as if Azkaban had never happened. Now it had all gone wrong. "The kiss.. they'll give him the kiss.." he whispered.
"No, i don't believe they will, not yet." Dumbledore looked pensive, "Fudge will want to gloat, and show everyone he found Sirius, they'll give him a trial just to prove they've caught him. I doubt they'll let him talk or have what muggles call a lawyer. To be represented, he'll need a ministry member or a wizard of some importance that knows him throughout."
"You could?" Remus asked.
"No, they'd think i was biased."

Edea was in the middle of teaching 3rd years about bogarts when she heard a commotion coming from outside the school. Ordering the class back into their seats, she peered out of one of the tall windows, and shrieked.
"For god's sake don't leave this room until the bell goes, do you hear me?" She said pointedly at the class, before grabbing her wand off the desk and running out of the classroom.
Some of the studens were muttering to themselves, but daren't leave their desks to find out.
Edea ran through the halls trying to find the quickest exit out. She burst through the great oak doors and caught sight of Fudge getting into his ministry car. "Sirius." she whispered.
"He won't be coming out very soon," Snape said from beside her, "Cause for celebration, dont you think?"
She decked him, right infront of the Slytherin potions students who had followed their house master out into the grounds to watch. Draco Malfoy looked purely shocked and started muttering to his goons Crabbe and Goyle, but Edea didn't have the time to even lok at the unconscious teacher at her feet. She turned towards Hagrid's hut and made a run for her bike.
