A/N: Here we go again now with the Sirius POV. I'm thinking there will only be 2-4 more chapters left, but I'm not sure. There may be more, but probably not less.
"Harry Potter!" I shouted at the mirror. Ashley looked at it over my shoulder.
He appeared.
"Harry! We found Lupin!" I said before he could say anything.
His eyes widened, and he called Ron and Hermione up. Before I knew it, Harry, Ron, Hermione, AND Ginny were looking in the mirror.
"It's Sirius?" Ginny asked, sounding a bit scared.
No, it's the Grim Reaper you idiot, I thought.
Hermione patiently explained about the mirrors, and when that was done, I told Harry where Lupin was.
"That's impossible!" He exclaimed.
Ron and Ginny explained that it was, in fact, possible, and a thought struck me.
"Harry," I said, "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."
"Ok," he said, but his face didn't look serious.
"I mean it," I said.
"I know," he said, looking a bit better. "We have to go now, but stay out of trouble and BE CAREFUL!" Ashley said, almost motheringly.
They put the mirror down, and Ashley and I walked back to my room. I sat down on my bed, and she followed suit.
"You think he's going to go after him?" she asked.
"Undoubtedly," I said.
She nodded, and we sat there in an uncomfortable silence. I couldn't think of anything to say, and I guess it was the same for her, until-
"Sirius, do you really think I'm pretty?"
The question took me very much by surprise. Whatever I thought she might say, this was VERY far from it.
"Yeah," I said, looking at her confused, not knowing where exactly this was going. "Why?"
"Because, you told me you did once, but I couldn't tell if you really meant it, or if you were just trying to get me to not be mad at you anymore."
"No, I meant it," I assured her. She tried to look away before, she smiled, but I saw it anyway. I grinned, and turned her face back toward mine.
"Why are you so smiley?" I asked, teasing.
"What, now I'm not allowed to smile?" She asked, grinning. I noticed we were thisclose.
"It's perfectly fine with me if you smile. I think it lights up your whole face," I said.
She blushed, and we got even closer. We were nose to nose. Her eyes closed, and so did mine. Then-
A blinding pain hit me in the shoulder and forehead. I doubled over. Ashley pulled back.
"Sirius?" she asked, very worried. "What happened?"
I could barely speak for the pain in my forehead, but I managed to rasp out,
"Harry-Ron-in trouble."
Ashley went white. "We have to get down there!" she shrieked.
I nodded. She helped me up, and helped me walk down the hall. My forehead was absolutely burning. I could barely see.
"We have to get to Nick's," she said. I nodded. Another throb of pain went through my left shoulder.
We made it to Nick's office, to find a note on the door. It said, "Gone down to earth for the day! Be back tomorrow!"
"Of all days," I said, shading my eyes. Everything seemed too bright all of a sudden.
"He couldn't have waited for tomorrow?!" Ashley groaned.
"We have to get down there," I said. She nodded.
"We're gonna have to jump," she said.
I almost fell over. Had Ashley not been holding onto me, I would have fallen over.
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me. We have to jump. We have to get down there somehow. We'll look at Number 12 through the telescope, and then jump. It's the only way, and you know it."
I nodded, and she ran over to a telescope, practically dragging me behind her.
"Number 12, Grimmauld Place!" she said. We could see it through the telescope. She looked at the wall right in front of us. She put her arms under mine, around my waist, and ran through the wall, and jumped.
We fell, faster than we ever had before. We were down in about a minute.
We also were not at Number 12, Grimmauld Place. We were at the Burrow.
"Dammit!" Ashley yelled. We had to get there somehow. And suddenly, I saw a way how. A Harley was parked right across the street.
"All right!" I muttered. "Ashley, come with me. We got a ticket to Grimmauld Place."
She looked at me questioningly, and I pulled her over to the motorcycle. "You can ride on of these?" she asked. I nodded and handed her a helmet. "Get on," I said, nodding behind me, as I tapped the engine with my wand.
She was not on the back a second, and I was off at about 80 mph. It felt wonderful to be back on a motorcycle again. The pain in my shoulder and head was lessening. Ashley was holding on very tightly, and we made it to Grimmauld Place in very good time. We looked up at the open window, and we climbed up, and looked in. Then-
We fell in through the window, onto the floor. I looked up, and saw Harry and Hermione ducking behind a couch, Ginny screaming, obviously someone had just yelled Crucio, and Ron was out cold against a wall.
