Desi- The 7th chapter of Search for Sirius, but definately not the last.
But if Rach decides to quit this again.. I might just have to write another
chapter. And you don't want that happening, now do you? So, Rach, I'm
warning you.. If you quit this again I'll write another chapter... -evil
laughter- Oh, and if we owned Harry Potter I'd be living in Louisiana and
Rach would be living in England.. So, we don't own Harry Potter.. Waaaah!

Search for Sirius Chapter seven An Old Friend
Sirius awoke groggily to the same view that he had awoken to for twelve years of his life. A small cell, bars all around, the roaring sound of the ocean in the background.. Yes, he was back in Azkaban.. He looked down and saw that he was in chains. Sirius sighed and closed his eyes. He often dreamed about Azkaban. This was only another dream. He tried to wake himself, but he couldn't. Sirius sat prepared to wait out whatever horrors came, all the while thinking there was something he was forgetting. Then it hit him. HARRY. He had been rescuing Harry when Bellatrix attacked him. He must be unconscious. He had left Harry in his time of need. He had failed. Sirius cursed loudly. He screamed and struggled against his shackles, but to no avail. He had to wake up. Harry could be in trouble.
"QUEIT!" hissed a voice from behind him.
Sirius whirled around to see who had spoken. Another prisoner was peering at him from the adjacent cell. He was a fairly young man but had a sunken, dull look about him like most of the inmates he remembered.. And yet the man seemed somehow familiar..
"Sirius?! Is that you?"
Sirius nodded uncertainly. This was not one of his memories of Azkaban.. His cell had been solitary. His dreams had always been that way too. Him, in his little solitary cell. Always trying in vain to get out and rescue Lily and James. Although it never really worked, he would always wake up in a cold sweat, shaking. Nothing had changed.
"Who are you..?" Sirius asked, still wary of the stranger.
"It's me, Caradoc Dearborn.. Remember? I was part of the Order of the Phoenix. Then I disappeared."
"How are you here then?" Sirius replied. It did look somewhat like Caradoc, but the last time he had seen him had been at the Order more then fifteen years ago. Lily and James had still been alive then. They had been clebrating because Lily was pregnant. A picture had been taken of them all. Sirius had found it as Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, but had given it to Moody to keep. He had seen Caradoc smiling up at him in it but remembered that he had vanished six months after it was taken. No one had found his body.
"I'm not quite sure." replied Caradoc. "I had been out walking and I saw this trashcan with weird whispering noises coming from it. I opened it up and looked inside. The suddenly I was in Hogsmeade. At first I thought the garbage can had been a portkey but then when I looked around none of the people could hear or see me.. And there was no one there that I recognized. Then a spell hit me from behind and I woke up here."
The story seem far-fetched to Sirius but this was a dream after allthough it was becoming less and less like one every minute.
"And where exactly is here.." Sirius inquired politely, still frustrated about his inability to wake up.
"It seems to be some sort of wizarding after-life from what I've heard. The Death Eathers that run this place can't see us because we're still alive but they know we're here. It's some sort of locator spell.. But they can't hear us so we can speak freely."
"How do I know that this isn't a dream?" asked Sirius. It didn't seem like one anymore but Sirius wasn't going to give up on the small hope that it was just that.
"It's not a dream Sirius." replied Caradoc with an almost maniac laugh. "I thought that exact thought at first too.. But unless I've been sleeping for fifteen years I highly doubt that it is."
These words hit Sirius like a physical blow. He had failed his godson and not only landed himself in Azkaban again.. But an Azkaban run by a bunch of Death Eaters that they had already killed...
*~*~*~*
Shaylin- It's a bit weird but I had to find a way for sirius to find out what was happening and I couldn't think of any Death Eaters that would be able to see him. It does say in the book when Moody shows Harry the picture of the first order that someone named Caradoc Dearborn had disappeared half a year after it was taken. So I created an explanation for that and a way for Sirius to be informed. Anyway, you know what to do! REVIEW , REVIEW, REVIEW!
