Like a Pet?

"So how have you been?" Hermione asked Sirius. It was the next day, and Michelle just left for work.

"Pretty good, but after she leaves for work I have to change back."

"I can guess why."

"She's been doing work on my case, but it's against me."

"Have you even thought about telling her who you are?"

"Yes, and each time I think about being sent back to Azkaban." Hermione looked at him sadly. "You'll never know how horrible it is there. No words can describe it fully. People scream day and night. When you first get there you suffer from insomnia. Most people, including myself, count how many days they've been in there. But then you start to lose track and forget a day. Then a week, then a month. When you go completely insane you just..." Sirius stopped talking, and just sat there thinking.

~*Start of Michelle's POV*~

Fudge was in his office, for a 'meeting.' That's what I have to say if anyone wants to talk to him or see him about something. He was actually taking his afternoon nap. I went down to the Ministry file room while he was catching z's.

"I need to do some research for the Minister." I told the blonde secretary who was filing her nails.

"Go on in." She gave me the master key and went back to her previous business. I unlocked the first drawer.

"Acromantula...ague..." I searched through the files until I found what I wanted. "Animagus." I pulled the file out and searched through the names.

"McGonagall's in here but not the person I'm looking for." I put the file back in its place, and opened up the next cabinet.

"Black, Sirius." I took it out and sat on top of one of the tables. Most of the information was about the incident in 1981, and the inspections from Azkaban. I read one of the excerpts out loud.

"Asked for newspaper. Sounded sane. Dementors say Black repeated. 'He's at Hogwarts' the next day." As I looked through the other inspections, three small pieces of paper fell out. Each had different handwriting, and signatures. I read the first one that Sirius wrote.

"Hey all you witchy babes out there. Hopefully you're single, and under 30, if not, nothing wrong with that. Owl for a good time! LYL, the babe magnet, Sirius Black.'

The next one was from James Potter.

'Whoever is reading this, is either a) you're dating him, or b) he got too many speeding tickets on his flying bike. Don't mind Padfoot." I looked at the name with wide eyes. "Oh yeah, you'll find out hwy we call him that later. Probably when he's drunk. James Potter

P.S. I LOVE LILY EVANS!!"

The last one was from Remus.

"They are forcing me to write something. The reason we have access to these files is cuz we're training to be Aurors and Sirius flirted with the secretary. But Sirius doesn't realize that the 'girl' is actually a cross dresser. HAHA!! Ouch, okay. We just graduated from Hogwarts. Well I better go. Cheerio!

Remus Lupin."

I shoved all of the notes into my pocket and stuffed the file back. I walked briskly out of the file room, threw the keys on the lady's desk, upsetting the nail polish bottle, and going back to my office.

"Miss Thomas, where were you?"

"Down in the file room."

"Doing what?"

"Looking through Sirius Black's file, seeing if there was any information that could help us."

"Oh well get back to work."

"Yes sir," I flopped into my desk chair and turned to the window, thinking about what I found out. So Remus was Sirius Black's friend. He might know some information. But he'll probably think I'd send him to Azkaban. My life is so messed up. I tapped my quill against my forehead, and thought more.

"Have a great time at Hogwarts!" I called after Hermione, as she got onto the train. I was about to leave when I noticed I was missing a furry four-legged friend.

"Padfoot! Where are you?" I yelled, weaving in and out of parents and scared fist year. "Padfoot!" Someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hello Michelle. Are you missing someone?" Remus asked me, pointing down.

"Yes I was. Thank you so much. I was afraid he was going to go to Hogwarts."

"Well I better get on the train before it leaves with out me."

"Goodbye Remus." I walked back through the barrier and got into the Ministry car.

"Excuse me Miss, where would you like to go?"

"First to my house, then to the Ministry."

"Alright." The car jumped to the head of traffic, and sped back to my house.

"I'll be right back." I opened up the car door and followed Padfoot out. Once inside I filled up his dishes.

"See you later Padfoot." I walked back outside and opened up the car door.

"Shoot, I forgot my briefcase. I'll apprate to the office, you can go on."

"Alright." I closed the door and walked back inside.

I walked into the kitchen and picked my briefcase up. As I lifted my head up I noticed I wasn't the only one in the room. He looked up.

"Don't scream, please!" I screamed, dropped my briefcase, and fainted dead away.

A:N// I finally got it up. Hope you liked it. I'm sorry it took me so long. I've been busy with helping Gothic Valley Girl write Generation Chaos(go read it), writing a ten page research paper, retyping the ten page research paper, and school in general. Please review, and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.

A:N2// I only realized at 1:51am that I forgot to spell check. Dummy me. Sorry for the inconvience.
