Hello! I haven't found anything I own so far. Have a fun time reading and please review. I'm going to see POA tonight! Ok needed to say that. I can't answer all the questions asked because it might ruin surprises in store for this story. I'll leave you to imagine what might happen. All that I will say is that Sirius and Peter will get their punishments in the end.

The next chapter...

It was time. The room was so quiet you could hear a feather brush against the ground. Peter was sound asleep in his bed. The guard was dead to the world. This was the time of freedom. Nothing could stop Sirius as his heart ached for the sound of the trees and the softness of the wind. The feel of independence he had been wanting for so long.

Sirius silently pulled his covers back and crept out of his bed. He crossed the room to where one single window called to him. The stars and moon shone through the window, illuminating the hospital ground. It was such a heavenly sight that Sirius swayed on the spot. He reached out his hand to open the window to freedom before...

"BOO!" His heart skipped a beat as he spun around to see James and the heavily spotted Remus, both wearing huge coats and scarves. He scratched his arm, which was throbbing dully and smiled. He opened his mouth to comment on James's bright red quidditch pajamas, but was quickly shushed by Remus who pointed over to Peter. Peter rolled over in his bed and began snoring. The two boys nodded and got down to business. James lifted his wand and unlocked the window. With a click the glass slid up. Many "ooohs" and "awwws" were silently whispered, until they noticed one problem. The window was seven and a half feet above the ground.

The odds were against them. It was a dangerous and near impossible task. They knew for certain that they could not achieve victory through strength of arms, but they could use their friend's shoulders.

Sirius muttered a string of words that neither James nor Remus could hear. His forehead was pressed against the wall and his shoulders supported two Lupin feet. James stood behind them, ready to catch his friend if Sirius spontaneously decided to throw Remus off his shoulders. After a few minutes in which Remus worked restlessly on getting on the window and measuring the distance between himself and the snowy grounds, Sirius's foot began to itch. A painful green spot on the bottom of his foot started to ache and throb. Sirius bit his lip. He could not stand it any more. In a matter of thirty seconds several things happened.

James couldn't believe what happened. Sirius's legs gave away and Remus, who was supposed to go the other way, flew out the window. Sirius and James looked at each other with looks of horror as they heard a yell, a dull thump, a splash and another yell.

"We must save him!" James said, trying not to think that it may be too late. Sirius grabbed his blanket and flung it out the window. "What if he's already dead? What if we're blamed? Maybe they'll send us to Azkaban! I wouldn't be able to handle it! Though it would be nicer then being stuck with Mrs. Pettigrew. Hey! If I go to Azkaban then you go too! We can make an escape plan!" James looked slightly insane; Sirius had a smirk on his face.

"Get him James!" Sirius said pointing to the window. James sneered as he jumped on his bed and stepped up and Sirius's shoulders. Sirius winced, as James seemed to stomp on his shoulder. James grabbed the end of the blanket and disappeared out of the window. Sirius giggled evilly as he heard yet another yell, thump, splash and yell. He sank down to the ground while laughing hysterically, unaware of two vengeful twelve-year-olds.

Remus crawled out of the lake sputtering and coughing. His teeth began chattering as the freezing wind and snow hit him. 'This was great! Now not only do I have dragon pox, but probably the flu,' he though bitterly to himself as he began crawling shakily towards the castle. He began to feel the effects of the dragon pox come back; only this time it was a very weird type of pain, because his entire body was numb.

"I'm going to kill Sirius Black," he muttered angrily to himself as he pulled his ice-covered coat closer around himself, hoping for some sort of heat. He sunk to his knees, thinking that he was going to freeze to death before he reached the Hogwarts entrance. Suddenly he heard a yell and looked up as the end of a blanket hit him on the head. He shouted and jumped out of the way as James came down with the other half of the blanket, hit the ground and rolled into the lake. Remus pulled his icy coat off and pulled the blanket around his shoulders before rushing to his friend's aid.

"I-I am g-going to ha-have Sirius-s beheaded!" James said, raising a shaking hand in anger as they walked toward the castle doors. He looked beside him to see Remus falling into unconsciousness. Remus took a few swaggering steps and then fainted.

"R-Remus?" James said, starting to feel really scared. He rolled his friend over and checked his pulse, but like most twelve-year-old boys, couldn't find it. He started to panic and ran to the castle, searching for help.
