Disclaimer: I don't own CSI or Harry Potter or Sirius Black. Though I wish I did, because then I'd be rich.

Summary: Sara doesn't like the outcome of the latest Harry Potter book, and becomes suspicious of a new CSI with the same name as the character that died.

A/N: Wow, I can't believe how many reviews I've got already. Not bad for my first CSI fic, eh? You guys are the best =)

"What do we know so far?" Sara was eager to get started.

"Not much," Brass said, "Some guy called it in, said he saw something floating in the lake but he wished to remain anonymous. We tried to trace the call, but it came from a pay phone. I don't think you'll get much from the body, either."

"We'll see about that." Sara sounded fairly confident as she approached the body the paramedics had just pulled out of the lake.

Brass stared as she inspected the victim. "That girl is seriously married to her job. Oh, you must be the new guy," he said when he finally noticed Sirius, "Name's Jim Brass. Homicide detective."

"Well Mr. Brass, I'm Sirius Black." Sirius smiled politely and followed Nick over to the body.

"You find anything, Sara?" Nick knelt down beside her after snapping a few pictures of the crime scene. "Any ID?"

Sara shook her head. "Nothing. No pockets, and if she had a purse it's still in the lake."

Sirius watched silently, a peculiar look on his face. Nick looked up and mistook Sirius's strange expression for recognition. "Hey man, you know her?"

Sirius was surprised by Nick's question. "No, I've never seen her before. Do you think she drowned?"

"We won't know anything until after the autopsy, I guess." Sara seemed discouraged; it was unusual to get absolutely nothing off the victim.

"Cause of death?" Nick examined the victim as he waited for Dr. Robbins' answer. She looked a lot different all laid out on the table.

"There wasn't any water in her lungs, so we can rule out drowning."

"Really?" Nick was surprised. "So the body was just dumped in the lake?"

"I'm not finished, Nick. This is one of the healthiest people I've ever seen."

Nick eyed him dubiously. "Uh, Doc, she's dead."

"Well, aside from that. Her heart's fine, she's got strong, healthy lungs, she's perfectly healthy. She definitely didn't die of natural causes."

"We never really considered that an option. So how did she die?"

"Actually, I don't know."

Nick wasn't satisfied with that. "How could you not know? There must be some explanation. Healthy people don't just drop dead."

Robbins sighed. "She wasn't poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangled, suffocated, or otherwise harmed in any way. Apart from the fact that she's dead, there's absolutely nothing wrong with her. I've never seen anything like this before."

Nick searched desperately for an explanation. "Look at her face! Obviously she was scared of something."

"Yeah," Robbins said, "scared to death."

While Nick was getting nowhere with the body, Sara and Sirius were in the layout room going over the photos from the crime scene.

"I sure hope they come up with something, there's nothing here." Sara sighed. "This is so weird. We must have missed something. Dead people don't just fall out of the sky."

Sirius surveyed the photos again. "No, we didn't miss anything. There's just nothing here."

Nick appeared at in the doorway. "Please tell me you guys found something."

Sara shook her head. "Nothing. We've got nothing."

"Well I've got some bad news." Sara and Sirius looked at Nick. "There's no cause of death."

"What?" Sara was flabbergasted. "How is that possible?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with her. She's in perfect health."

"Nick, she's dead!"

"Ok, other than that she's healthy."

Sara was convinced that Nick was wrong. "People don't drop dead for no reason."

Sirius, who had observed the conversation in silence, shook his head. "You're wrong, Sara. I've seen it before." Sara and Nick stared at him. "You've seen this before? In London?"

Sirius nodded. "A few times, actually. We never caught the guy. A few weeks ago we got an anonymous tip that he was in Vegas, and, well, here I am."

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Sara eyed him suspiciously, not sure whether or not she should believe what her new co-worker was saying.

"Look, I shouldn't have even mentioned it, we haven't confirmed anything yet." His eyes darted around the room nervously. "Umm, where's the fireplace?"

"Fireplace? Here?" Nick laughed. "If you're really that cold, there's a heater around somewhere but seriously man, its like two hundred degrees in here."

Sirius frowned. "Ok, no fireplace. How about a broom closet?"

"Sure, right down the hall, second door on the left."

"Is he for real?" Nick asked as soon as Sirius was safely out of earshot.

Sara shrugged. "There's something weird going on here, I just can't figure out what it is."
