Finding New Means
Chapter 3: Escape
It was two weeks since Harry had gone missing and Sirius was in a very depressed mood, although he shouldn't have been. He was free and he had a home in Hogsmeade. He also had two other little surprises. Before Lily and James had died he had married a muggle woman and had a little girl, Christine, with her. She was only about three months younger than Harry and had the same light brown hair as her mother and his dark eyes. About six months after they had had Christine, Elizabeth, Christine's mother, had told Sirius that she was expecting again. They again had a little girl and named her Katie. When Elizabeth had found out that Sirius was a wizard she had broke it off with him and left the country leaving him to care of Christine and Katie all by himself.
When he had been accused of betraying Lily and James and killing Peter and sent to Azkaban, Remus had sent Christine and Katie to live with the young Arabella Figg, the daughter of Mrs. Figg, Harry's old babysitter. When Sirius had been freed he had gone to Remus to see where he had sent them, since he had never asked him before because he didn't want to get his own hopes up, and then he went to talk to Christine and Katie.
He had explained what had happened and told them that they could come and live with him or stay with Arabella, whichever they chose to do. After apologizing profusely to Arabella they had come to live with him that night.
They had fun together and had become a close knit family of three in just a day, but something was wrong and Sirius knew exactly what it was. He had told Harry that when he was freed and got a house that he could come and live with him but unfortunately Harry was still missing. Sirius had made his godson a room and filled it with Harry's stuff from Privet Drive, since Dumbledore had said that Harry could live with him when he came back. He had also added a new bed, dresser and desk just in case his godson did make it out alive.
The girls knew of Harry and his relations with Sirius and they also knew he was gone. They were going to start at Hogwarts this year with Harry if he ever came back. They had attended Durmstrang for their first through fourth years to avoid question from the students and teachers at Hogwarts about their last name, which they had kept as Black, although they had still gotten a lot of questions at Durmstrang from the students. The girls had just said no they were not related to Sirius since they had not even known they were until he had come to fetch them. This was because they were too young to remember him from when he had been their father.
Now that Sirius was free they were finally going to attend Hogwarts and reveal all.

Harry looked around and realized that he had stunned everyone in the room including the Dark Lord. He took this opportunity and made a mad dash for the exit. He pulled open the door and found himself walking up a set of stairs and into the middle of the Forbidden Forest. He was so excited about finally getting put that he didn't even notice the dull throbbing in his head that had been there since he had been captured by Wormtail of the splitting pain in his right shoulder, he didn't even take the time to watch where he was stepping.
He ran like crazy towards the way he thought the school was. In his frenzy to get out of the forest and partly because of how dark it was he tripped over a branch and felt a sharp pain shoot up his left leg. When he looked down at his leg he almost passed out from the sight. His knee was already bruising and he knew it must be fractured by the amount of pain he felt coming from it. His shin was a bloody mess from the hole that the broken bone had punctured through the skin and he could just see the bone protruding through.
He thought fast and took off his torn and dirty shirt and wrapped it tightly around his leg. He thanked god that he had made it ¾'s of the way to school before this had happened so at least he didn't have that much farther to go. He slowly started crawling on his hand and one knee to the edge of the forest.
When he finally made it to the front door of Hogwarts he used all of his energy to give one loud knock before he slipped into unconsciousness and fell to the ground.
