Chapter One: Snape? In Diagon Alley?

Harry looked at his watch. 3:15. They should be here right now, Harry thought. He, Ron and Hermione agreed that they'd meet in the Leaky Cauldron to by their new supplies. Sirius was beside him, drinking the tea he ordered. Harry looked at him and Sirius smiled. It had only been weeks since Sirius' trial had come to order. Mr. Weasley had convinced Cornelius Fudge to arrange the trial, to the fact that Sirius didn't have one when he was arrested. Harry, Ron and Hermione did their best to prove he was innocent, but the jury still believed that he was guilty. Then, Professor Dumbledore came in, told the jury the story about Sirius. He told them about James Potter's belief that Sirius would never betray him, about how Sirius was struck to find that Lily and James were dead and the truth about the night where 13 people were killed. The judge asked Harry if the stories were the truth and Harry said yes. Then, Harry did something the wizarding world never expected. Harry demanded that he should be killed by the dementors rather than living his life without his godfather. This moved the judge and the jury and they announced that Sirius was innocent and has the power to roam freely in the wizarding world.

"Harry! Sorry if were late! You see, on the way we saw a shadow, and it looked like Snape's!" Ron told Harry. Harry replied, Yeah right! And Draco Malfoy's a bouncing ferret- mind you, Moody did turn him one!" Hermione, who was really annoyed, told them "Let's go! Come on, it's just a shadow which looks like Snape. What's the big deal?" "Well, Hermione, Snape never leaves Hogwarts, if my memory serves me correct, his only hang-outs are the library and the Slytherin Common Room." Sirius told them, especially Hermione.

After they bought their supplies, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to Flourish and Blotts. But on the way there, Ron stopped and said, "Look Harry, Hermione! Snape's shadow!" Harry and Hermione looked. There, just outside Flourish and Blotts, a shadow where it REALLY looked like Snape's, complete with the shoulder length hair and the long black robes. Harry tried to get a closer look, but to no avail.

After they got their supplies (and through Harry's generous donation, a new dress robe for Ron), they headed back to the Leaky Cauldron and the three of them went to Harry's house. Hermione was rather hurt when he saw Sirius' house elf, Woldulf. Sirius explained that the Blacks never mistreated him. Though Hermione was a little bit angry, it was only for a short time; Harry showed her the huge library that was Sirius'. That took Hermione's mind from house elves at least.

That night, Harry couldn't sleep. He was still wondering what was Snape's shadow doing in Diagon Alley. Was he out to get Sirius?
