A Small Chance of Surviving…

No one ever noticed that Sirius Black abducted Ciara during the incident that happened at Gryffindor Tower, as in nobody. No one.

"Somebody get Professor Dumbledore. Quick." Percy shouted in sharp voice, after looking at the portrait door, without the portrait.

Other Gryffindors arrived with no second thought, looking at the crowd that was piling in front of the portrait door. And a few moments later, Professor Dumbledore arrived, sweeping towards the portrait door, and the Gryffindors squeezed to let him through.

The portrait door was slashed and large chunks of canvas was scattered all over the floor. The sight wasn't pleasant indeed. Then Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape came hurrying towards Dumbledore.

"We need to find her," he said. "Professor McGonagall, please go to Mr. Filch at once and tell him to search every painting in the castle for the Fat Lady."

Then out of the blue, Peeves came floating by. "You'll be lucky." And there he is, bobbed over the crowed looking happy, as always.

"What do you mean Peeves?" asked Dumbledore calmly, and Peeves' big goofy grin faded, a little, and answered his question adopting an oily voice that was no better than his stupid cackle.

"Ashamed, Your Headship, sir. Doesn't want to be seen. She's a horrible mess. Saw her running through the landscape up on the fourth floor, sir, dodging between the trees. Crying something dreadful," he said happily. "Poor thing," he added.

"Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

"Oh yes Professorhead," Peeves answered, "He got very angry when she wouldn't let him in, you see." He flipped over, grinned at Dumbledore.

"Nasty temper he's got, that Sirius Black…"

Since all houses we're sent to the Great Hall to sleep there when the news about Sirius Black inside Hogwarts was spread. All prefects plus Head Boys and Girls stayed all night to make sure that every student from each house is sleeping and not roaming around the halls. The Gryffindor prefects didn't notice that one student is missing from the 3rd years looks like Percy was the only one who noticed. He didn't want to alert the whole school so he immediately went to Professor McGonagall to report.

"Professor McGongall…" As Percy went inside her office.

"Yes, what is Percy?" She replied. "Anything wrong?"

"We have one student missing…" He sadly reported.

McGonagall's face turned white.

"Heavens…who?" She asked.

"It's Winters ma'am…I didn't see her in the Great Hall…"

Not a minute to spare, the two of them immediately rushed to Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Are you sure Minerva? Did Mr. Weasley here didn't miscalculate in checking every student from Gryffindor house?" He asked, in his nightgown.

"Yes Albus…it seems that she disbanded from the group…but…I think that she may have seen Black in the tower when the accident happened…" McGonagall said.

"Hmm…I see…well, call Remus Lupin here. Mr. Weasley, I suggest that you also go back to bed. You can go back to your room Minerva, me and Remus will find her in no time, trust me." Dumbledore said, and the two left his office.

Ten minutes later, Dumbledore's fireplace suddenly lit up furiously and there came out Remus Lupin, brushing off the soot from his shabby robes.

"Remus…we have a very dim situation here…"

"I know Headmaster…"

"You know where he is then…?"

"Yup…I just hope that he's there…"

"Then let's go…"

The two professors left Dumbledore's office with no less than a minute.
