Author Note: Hello again, I finally got another chapter up. : )

------------

"What?!" Everyone said together, shocked.

"McGonagall? She can't be dead!" Sirus proclaimed, taken aback. He looked over at Harry and Lupin who both stood there, dumbfounded.

Flich made a grim face. "I know, I know." He ran his fingers through a few strands of gray hair. "You know I cared dearly about poor Minerva, but-"

Lupin began scratching his head, poking himself with the spatula he had held tightly in his grasp. Shocked or not, he needed a weapon from Mrs. Norris, who looked up more innocently then ever at him, before slinking around to Harry. "But how?-........"

"You-Know-Who," Flich said in a hushed voice. "He sent off to get rid of her 'fore the term began. Said he was to be pickin' the professors off one by one." Flich shook his head gravely. "Dumbledore wanted me to come get you for some reason. Said it had something to do with a few years ago and you had ought to know what it was?-"

Sirus and Lupin glanced at each other, not knowing what Flich was talking about at all.

"Poor McGonagall" Sirus said after a moment. "After all the pranks we had done in her class-"

"After all those darn curses on the Slytherins-" Lupin followed.

"And on our poor Snape, whose sudden transformation into a white ferret one afternoon will live in our hearts forever-" Sirus beamed.

"Poor Snape, nothing," Flich interrupted. "I bet he's got something to do with this, I do!"

Lupin shook his head. "He saved Harry's life once, remember? And it wasn't like he has tried to kill us since we graduated."

"Well, there was that one time-" Sirus remarked.

"That's beside the point-" Lupin began to say, but saw a small glare from Flich and stopped. He could hear Flich want to begin an uproar about their "childish fighting" but for his surprise, he said nothing. Instead, Mrs. Norris came up to Lupin, purring loudly. "Oh hello kitty-I mean-Mrs. Norris- er, do you want a mouse? How about a tuna sandwhich? Werewolves aren't that tasty...."

Mrs. Norris pawed the spatula in Lupin's hand, making him drop it to the ground. She then slinked back to Flich, who was ready to leave.

"You boys go to Dumbledore soon ya can, but wait until everything settles down about this kidnapping bit." Flich stated. "You can't afford to get into much more trouble."

"What about me?" Harry chimed in, having been transfixed the last few minutes.

"Come along too. We can't leave you alone with You-Know-Who around." Flich then vanished from sight, leaving the trio alone..
