Year Sorrows, Part 2
"S-S-S-Sirius, w-w-we
c-c-can't," Harry said, shaking.
"Spit it out," said Sirius,
looking very concerned.
"Uuummm, we can't go to Ron's
house today, we have to wait till tomorrow," said Harry, as Sirius's face
slowly lost color.
"Why?" he asked, sinking into a
chair.
"F-f-fudge," Harry replied,
still shaking, and he too, was losing color in his face.
"Excuse me?" said Sirius.
"Fudge, he's at the Weasleys
house right now, and Ron says he won't leave," said Harry turning paler by the
minute.
"But, that can't be. That'd mean
we'd have to leave extremely early, for you to get to the Weasleys in time for
them to leave for the train, unless..." said Sirius, face gaining color again.
"Unless what?" asked Harry,
gaining confidence, it had to be good, for Sirius was a very smart man, and
Harry new he could trust him.
"Unless you can write back to
Ron, tell him that I'll be taking you to King's Cross Station myself," said
Sirius, standing up again.
"But, you can't, I mean,
there'll be a lot of witches and wizards, and the muggles are probably still
looking for you, and..." but Sirius cut him off.
"Harry, I can wear a disguise
until we get there, then once we're there, I'll turn into a dog, that way if
there are any wizards there, they won't be able to see me," he said, like it
was obvious what he should do.
"Oh, alright, but where'll you
stay?"
"Well... Do your aunt and uncle
still think I'm dangerous?"
"Yes..." said Harry, slowly
catching on.
"Well, I should have no problem,
and if they decide to tell someone, I'll simply turn into a dog and they'll
never know."
"Ok," said Harry, wondering how
he could've been so stupid. He walked up to his room to write to the Weasleys,
only to find Hedwig was gone.
