"Well, what do we do now?" Draco looked at them. Hermione sighed.

"Wait for Sirius and Professor Dumbledore to figure out a plan," Hermione shook her head.

"Who's Sirius anyway?" Draco looked thouroughly confused as Ron tried to hold laughter.

"Come on, let's go Gryffindor. We'll explain on the way." Ron walked out the door, followed closely by Hermione and Draco.

Draco listened intently as Ron and Hermione told the story of their meeting of Harry's godfather. Hermione had a hard time explaining about Harry and his Patronus, for she hadn't actually seen it. By the time they were done with thier tale, the group was allready at the portrait. Draco looked up at it uncertainly.

"Maybe I should go back to Sly-," he was cut off.

"No. You are our friend now and besides, you've been in there before. Dumbledore would aprove." Hermione grabbed him by his wrist and led him inside. To their surprise, the whole house was there, and stared at Draco coldly. Professor McGanagoll rushed over to them.

"Where have you been? And, Mr.Malfoy, what are you doing in here?" she looked down at them fiercely. Draco flushed ander her suspicious looks.

"We're sorry, Professor, Professor Dumbledor told us to send some owls. And we invited Draco to come with us. He should be allowed, I don't believe there is a rule about house mixing, is there?" Hermione looked back inosently. Ron and Draco stared at her too.

"Oh, of course not! Mr. Malfoy, I'll go inform Professor Snape of your whereabouts." She amiled appologeticly and walked through the portrait. Hermione walked over to an empty couch. Ron and Draco sat on either side of her. They room was a it quiter now, all eyes on the three of them. Draco looked around at everyone.

"WHAT?" he barked. Everyone gasped and looked away. Draco scoweled. "Snape isn't going to be to happy, knowing that I came to the Gryffindor common room," he smiled maliciously. Hermione and Ron grinned. "So...Harry's godfather is coming here?"

"Yes, I suppose-" she stopped and looked at the portrait. Dumbledore had walked in, followed by a large black dog. Hermione, Ron, and Draco stood up and walked over to him. The dog sat at Dumbledore's heal and whined. Hermione bent over and hugged it.

"Don't worry, Snuffles. We'll find him." she rubbed him behind the ears and stood up.

"Hermione, Ron, and Draco, come with me please...." Dumbledore walked back through the portrait, followed by the trio and Snuffles. They walked silently down six flights of stairs and stood before two gaurding gargoyles. Dumbledore said the password and the door opened. Snape was standing in a corner, a look of anger and frieght on his face. Dumbledore magiced up five chairs and everyone sat down.

"Sirius, please return to your true form." Dumbledore nodded to the Dog. Draco, Ron, Hermione, and Snape wathched as the dog disapeared and where it was stood Sirius Black, Harry's godfather. He was tall and thin. He was usually wearing a grin, and was tanned, but now he had dark circles under his eyes, and very pale. He slumped down in his chair. Hermione, who was sitting next to him, put an arm around his shoulders. He was taking this quite hard.

"As you all know, Harry was kidnapped by Lord Voldemort last night," his twinkle was gone, and Sirius's eyes became off focus. Snape grunted, which returned five glares. "We all also know, that Severus is spying for us as a Death Eater. We shall need a plan, a very good one at that, to rescue Harry from Voldemort. I had Sirius sniff the note, and found that there was a small of dirt, and salt water. So, we've concluded that Harry is being held under-ground by the ocean.

We need to gather up as many Aurors and Professors as possible. I have contacted the Minister this morning, and he has offered the help of twenty Aurors. And then there is Severus, Aurthur Weasley, Mundugnus Fletcher, Arabella Figg, Remus Lupin, and I-" Sirius cut in.

"And me! I'm going to help!" Sirius's voice was steady, and yet strained. He stared at Dumbledore.

"No, Sirius, I've decided that you shall stay at Hogwarts with Ron, Hermione, and... Draco." Dumbledore paused. "I believe, correct Draco?" He stared at Draco.

"Yes, of course."

"No! I'm going with you to help! Harry's means more to me than the whole world! You cannot tell me that I can't go help save his life!" Sirius was on his feet. Dumbledore remained calm, however.

"Sirius, think of how Harry would feel. He would be upset to know that you risked your life for his, with Aurors and maybe Dementors, crowding the place.If something was to happen, who would he come home to?" Dumbledore smiled. Sirius gaped at him, and sat down with his arms crossed across his chest.

"Good. Now most of the school will be returning home, but whoever wants to stay is welcome to. Ron, your family is coming here, so you will not return home. Hermione, you may invite your parents to come as well. Draco, I don't know wether or not you will be allowed to stay, but if you want to, your welcome to stay. Sirius, you will remain here. And Severus, you will help us rescue Harry from inside where Harry is being captive. Are you going to Apparate to Voldemort to see where his hideout is?"

"Yes, I will find where Potter is being held, and tell him of our plans. Then on cue, I will release the boy and hide him outside, away from comotion." Snape turned even paler at this, if that was possible.

"But...Proffesor Dumbledore, why can't we come along? We might be young, but we've dealt with these kind of dangers before, right Ron?" Hermione questioned. Harry was her boyfriend and one of her best friends. Ron nodded.

"Correct, you do have practice in these areas, but the same goes for you and Sirius." Dumbledor shook his head.

"But Pro-" Hermione cut in.

"I'm soory Miss Granger, but I'm not going to endanger my student's lives. And dealing with Voldemort is quite different." He was decided. Hermione nodded, but she had her own plan.

A.N: This chapter was made specially for all you Sirius fans! I'm sorry if he wasn't in character very well, but I tried really hard!
