Disclaimer: I do not own anything! I wish i did, but i dont. Heres hoping that JK finishes her book quickly, so i can go back to the real thing. This (see story below) is just a time taker!

The human that had just joined them may have caused alot of trouble just popping up like that. I mean, he WAS a convicted and escaped murder! But, all the people he was around knew that he was innocent, and were informed of his arrival. He was a shabby man, with dark hair and torn robes; he looked like he hadnt showered in months. It would have been very nasty, but given the circumstances he was under, they all understood.

This man was Sirius Black, and he was there to help, help with the task they were all debating the moment he arrived.

"Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Oh! Arabella! How have you been?" said Sirius, looking from face to face.

"Oh, Sirius, how Ive missed you! I havent seen you in the longest time!" said Arabella, who hugged her old friend tightly.

"Sirius, how was the trip? Any trouble?" said Dumbledore. He looked around anxiously; they all got the message, and they started walking towards a house on Privet Drive. They were all huddling in close, it was a chilly night for summer, and they wanted to get inside the house as quickly as possible.

"Everything was fine. I took on my role as "Snuffles", the loveable stray who needed to get on his way. I stayed a dog unless I knew i would be secluded, Dumbledore, dont worry." said Sirius. He knew that Dumbledore, like himself, was worried that he would be caught. It wasnt proven that he was innocent yet. In fact, he was with the only few people that knew it, except his godson, but we'll get into that later.

"Sirius, Lupin told me you two have been corresponding with Fletcher?" said McGonagall.

"Yes, we've been in touch. We're are they anyway?" said Sirius looking around.

"I will explain, just come inside, its quite chilly" said Arabella. They had arrived at 10 Privet Drive, and moved inside, to wait for the rest of the group; the group they so wished would never need to meet again.
