"RENEGADE"
A/N: FOR SOME REASON FANFICTION.NET STOPPED EMAILING MY REVIEWS TO ME...ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? I CAN'T EVEN SEE THEN ON MY REVIEW PAGE. THE NUMBER OF REVIEWS KEEPS GOING UP, BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP ON MY REVIEW PAGE, AND THEY AREN'T BEING SENT TO ME...IT'S KINDA PISSING ME OFF THAT I CAN'T READ THEM. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN ON, IM OR EMAIL ME, K? (VulpixRaven@aol.com) HOPE YOU LIKE THE CHAPTER AND KEEP REVIEWING EVEN IF I CAN'T READ THEM RIGHT AWAY, OKAY? LAST TIME I UPDATED, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I GOT THEM A FEW DAYS LATER, SO EVENTUALLY I'LL GET THEM.
Disclaimer: Sad to say, I don't own Sirius Black. If I did, I would NOT have killed off the closest thing Harry had to a father because poor Harry's been through enough bullshit already in his life!
Random Thoughts: These are just like my little bit of inspiration or humor that I put at the beginning of every chapter I write. I don't know why, I just like to do it. They have nothing to do with the actual chapter.
This chapter's random thought: "What is the source of all this pain that you've been dishin? Could they be lies that maybe you've been fed? Consider well the kind of stream where you've been fishin. I'm like a book that is waiting to be read."
Chapter 3 - Be careful, Padfoot!
"Raven Elizabeth McKinnon! You had dinner with this man?" questioned Jordan, on the edge of her seat.
"Well, I made burritos and he ate em, if that's what you mean," replied Raven nonchalantly.
"He could be a mass murderer for all you know!"
"Jordi, if you saw him, you wouldn't be saying that."
"Just because he's cute doesn't mean he's not dangerous! Why else is he here, then, and why does he keep cooped up in that house all day long?" asked Jordan, narrowing her eyes on her best friend.
"His eyes are just so...magnetic. He was...nice. That's all I'm saying, Jordiana. I'm not saying I want to marry the man, for crying out loud! I'm not even saying I wanna sleep with him!"
Jordan burst into a fit of giggles. "Well, who said anything about that?
Raven smiled widely. "I know that's what you were thinking.
"Maybe it's what you were thinking."
Raven pursed her lips. "I was not." She got up from the couch in the middle of Jordan's living room. "I have to go."
"Expecting company?" Jordan winked.
Raven turned around, grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it in Jordan's face. "Come by and meet him if you want."
"I think I'll leave you two alone."

"Uh-oh, back for more cereal?" Remus asked with an amused look from the kitchen table.
Sirius smiled forcefully and rolled his eyes, sitting next to Remus at the table. "Sorry I made you worry like that. You told me to send an owl as soon as I got there, but you forgot one thing: I didn't have one. And I couldn't very well have gone out and gotten one."
"Yes, I realized that after you left. That's why I sent you one so you could send a message back. I wouldn't apparate here, though, unless you really need to, Sirius. The wrong person could be here; you don't want to take that chance."
"What other best friends have you got left?" asked Sirius bitterly. He instantly regretted it, and Remus noticed his eyes soften.
"Good point," Remus smiled weakly.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."
Remus reached over and put a hand on Sirius' shoulder. "So...you need anything while you're here?"
"Not yet, I don't think."
Remus nodded and took a spoonful of his cereal. "So, are you staying out of sight?"
Sirius shrugged. "Pretty much."
"Padfoot," Remus scolded, "what does that mean?"
"Pretty much means pretty much! I went out as a dog a few times, and," he lowered his voice, "I talked to a girl, but--"
"WHAT?" interrupted Remus. "God dammit, Sirius! I told you! Do you honestly want to get caught? I don't think Harry would be able to--"
"I just talked to her; that's it! I couldn't help it, Moony! I can't stay locked up in a house all by myself! I just want to get out and do at least some of the things I've been missing for the past thirteen years!"
"And you will!...but not yet. You have to lay low. Once we catch the rat, we'll be able to prove that you're innocent."
"Moony, wake up! We're never going to catch him again! We're lucky we caught him the first time! Chances are, the stinking rodent's already out of the country! How do you find a rat free to roam wherever he wants? Do you have a Marauder's map for the entire world?" Remus just sat in silence, listening to Sirius pour out all his frustration. "Cuz I sure as hell don't!" Sirius got up from the table and started to pace the kitchen.
Harry suddenly emerged from the fireplace in the next room and followed the sound of his godfather's angry voice to the kitchen. He poked his head through the doorframe. "Er..."
Sirius saw Harry and suddenly his face brightened. "Harry! I didn't know you'd be here."
"Professor Lupin told me you were coming, so I thought I'd stop by if I could. The muggles are still asleep."
"Professor Lupin, huh? Well, I'm glad you did." Sirius gave Harry a quick one-armed hug.
(A/N: IT ALWAYS BOTHERED ME THAT SIRIUS AND HARRY WEREN'T PHYSICALLY MORE AFFECTIONATE IN THE BOOKS, BUT IT'S NONE OF MY NEVERMIND. I DON'T SAY A WORD.)
"How are you?" Harry asked.
"I'm not bad, Harry. How are you holding up at your aunt and uncle's?"
Harry gave a little laugh. "It hasn't been too bad. Mostly cuz they're scared to death you'll come and murder them in their sleep if I ask you to."
Sirius chuckled, lowered his voice to a whisper, and winked at Harry. "Just say the word."
Harry smiled back. "Hello, Profess...I mean...Remus."
Remus nodded his head. "Hello, Harry. The fireplace work okay?"
"Yes, thank you for having it connected."
"It's only temporary. Just thought if you needed an escape."
"Thanks."
(A/N: IT ALSO BOTHERS ME THAT HARRY AND REMUS ARE SO DISTANT ACTING. AFTER ALL, MOONY WAS JAMES' BEST FRIEND, TOO! I HOPE I'M NOT BUTCHERING HARRY TOO BADLY.)
"Oh, I promised Hermione I'd ask about Buckbeak the next time I heard from you," said Harry.
"He's fine. He likes my basement. It's nice and cold down there."
"Good, I'll tell Hermione you lost him," said Harry, smiling at the thought of her reaction.
The three of them froze as they heard a noise outside...There it was again...Sirius met eyes with Remus.
"Go," Remus mouthed.
Sirius waved a goodbye to Harry and Remus and disapparated.

An owl swooped through Sirius' window. It was written in Remus' handwriting.
Sirius read:
Everything's fine. It was Mundungus. Don't come back. I'll talk to you sometime next week.
Moony
Sirius rolled his eyes. He went to the window and saw that Raven was up. 'Wonder if I can get her to make me breakfast,' he thought.
