A/N: Hello! Thank you to all who reviewed! I had a thought when I was reading "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" for the seventh or eighth time two days ago. In the end, Dumbledore says that one day "Harry may be glad that he saved Pettigrew's life". Is this a possible foreshadow? o_O Just a thought.
Harry was sitting in Ron's room, and heard his mirror screaming at him to pick it up, and he did, to find both Sirius and Ashley crammed into the small space.
"Harry! We found Lupin!" Sirius exclaimed.
Harry sat on Ron's bed, and called Ron and Hermione upstairs. Ginny followed them.
"What Harry?" Ron asked
"It's Sirius. He knows where Lupin is."
"It's Sirius?!" Ginny asked, looking thoroughly freaked out.
Hermione quickly explained the situation with the mirrors to Ginny.
Then the four crowded around the mirror. Harry was strongly reminded of the Muggle photo booths that were minute and eight or nine people would cram in and have to be seen in a small lens to take a picture.
"Where is he?" Harry asked.
"Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place," Sirius answered.
"That's impossible!" Harry shrieked, "That's the headquarters of the Order!"
He looked up to find Ron and Ginny shaking their heads.
"It hasn't been since Sirius died," Ron remarked.
"They moved it when they figured out that Kreacher was evil. Mum won't tell us where the new headquarters is," Ginny continued.
Harry nodded. Now things made more sense.
"Harry," Sirius said urgently, "Promise me you won't do anything stupid."
"Like what?"
"You know what I mean. Don't rescue Lupin yourself. Tell the adults, and let them get him."
Harry nodded. "Ok," he said.
"I mean it," Sirius answered.
"I know," Harry said.
"We have to go now, but stay out of trouble, and BE CAREFUL!" Ashley said.
The four nodded, and put down the mirror.
"So how do we get there?" Hermione asked.
"What?!" the rest of them said, alarmed.
"How do we get to Grimmauld Place from here?"
"Hermione, we're not going to Grimmauld Place. You heard Sirius, we're supposed to stay right here," Harry said.
"Yes, I heard Sirius, Harry, but we are the only ones who know where Lupin is, and we can help him! No adult is home to get Lupin! It's up to us!" she answered.
Ron nodded. "Yeah, Harry, I think it's us or no one."
Ginny nodded.
Harry grinned. "Let's go!" he said.
The four of them grabbed their broomsticks, and set off for Grimmauld Place, finding that it wasn't as far as they might have thought. Harry's scar burned a bit on the way there, and when they got to be about a block away from Number 12, they landed.
Two corners away from the house, they made up their plan.
"We should just walk in, and find where he is and then get out," Harry said.
Everyone gave him the same look that plainly said, "No kidding?"
"What about the Death Eaters?" Hermione asked.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Come off it, Harry! You honestly think that Lord Voldemort wouldn't have a few Death Eaters guarding their prisoner?"
"What if we called Sirius?" Ron asked.
"Well, first of all, then he'd know that we came, and second of all, what could he do?" Ginny asked.
"He could create a diversion," Harry answered, "And anyway, we can't call him, I left the mirror on Ron's bed."
Hermione's eyes widened. They were really on their own now.
"We know a lot from DA last year," Ginny said.
"We'll be ok," Ron said, almost trying to convince himself.
"Let's go, then," Harry said. The four of them moved quietly forward, and Harry wished he'd thought to bring the Invisibility Cloak.
They reached the house, and found the door was locked. Harry wished that the same effect that happened at Mrs. Figg's house happened again, but it didn't. They ended up climbing in through a window, into the room where they had sprayed the Doxys out of the curtain. Now the only thing left to do was to find Lupin.
