Harry and the rest of his fellow Gryffindors were sitting outside one fine...evening for unknown reasons, when Hedwig swooped down.

"Hoot" she hooted.

"What's that Hedwig? Draco Malfoy is hanging on to dear life on the edge of a cliff?" asked Harry.

"Hoot" she said again.

"Wait, you mean something is afoot at Gryffindor Tower?" asked Harry

"Hoot"

"Let's go!" yelled Ron and the other students got up and dashed across the grounds.

"Bless you Hedwig for alerting us!" shouted Harry back to his owl as he followed the others.

Hedwig stood there and then popped open a coke and took a sip. "It's what I do best" she said and then flew away.

Upstairs, outside of Gryffindor Tower....

"What's that?" asked Ron pointing to the portrait of the fat lady. In red paint, written across the portrait were two words that were shocking to everybody.

"Dude, this is totally shocking me!" yelled Dean Thomas.

The words written were...

"...El Barto..." said Harry as he rubbed his chin and somehow smeared red paint on himself. "Damn that Bart Simpson!"

"No, I meant that" said Ron pointing to something that was scribbled in purple crayon in the corner.

"Sirius Black was here, hmm" said Harry. "I have no idea what this message is trying to say."

"Well, it's obviously simple Harry, it means that..." started Hermione but was cut off by Seamus.

"This is quite a mystery! Does anyone know who did this"

"Well, if you would just look..." started Hermione, but was shoved out of the way by Professor Dumbledore.

"The only person that could solve this mystery is the one, the only, Sherlock Holmes!" he yelled as he pointed to the front doors.

Dramatic music filled the room.

But there was no Sherlock Holmes appearing for the front doors were stuck.

"Damn door opener." Dumbledore muttered under his breath. "Alright boys, best go at it at a run then" he said as he patted Ron and Harry on the head. They both shrugged and ran towards the door only to hurt themselves in the process.

"Never fear, for I am here!" yelled Sherlock Holmes as he crawled through an open window. "It is obvious who has done this!" he shouted triumphantly as he climbed the stairs.

"Finally someone who listens to me" said Hermione

"Where exactly were you at 8:00 p.m. tonight, Professor Moriarty?" he asked pointing to the man eating from a box of cheerios.

"Buff, mgh ifg wad hefe!" he said with his mouth full.

"Well, uh, maybe it wasn't him, but I shall find the culprit and bring him to justicccccceeeee!" he yelled as he fell down the stairs.

"Oh well. Students please proceed to the Great Hall and get a Little Mermaid Sleeping Bag. We have a search to conduct."

Later that night, Professor Dumbledore did conduct a full search for Sirius Black, but they didn't notice the note that was pasted on the front door, that said, "Couldn't find what I was looking for, be back next week, Love Sirius"
