It had been three weeks since he had last seen her, she had been in Azkaban for 5 months now, and neither Severus nor Arcanus had got any closer in figuring out a plan to get her out.
They needed her out. She was incredibly important to the war.
Right now Severus was pacing in his office. It was nearing the Easter holidays at Hogwarts and Minerva had taken over headship of the castle, and Filius Flitwick had taken her position as deputy head.
He needed her out, and he needed her out soon. Turning around he swung his fist in frustration, hitting the stone wall. He hissed as the sharp pain of his now bleeding knuckles hit him. He stormed into his private lab and looked around, potions, potions, potions, yes he was the potions master and he would make a potion. Yes that would help take his mind off the situation.
He was about to lit a fire under his cauldron when his fire lit up and Arcanus' face appeared in it, he was ruffled, like he had just run through every floor at the ministry.
Severus moved to stand in front of him. "What's happened?"
"She's escaped!" Arcanus said.
Severus blinked.
"What!" he spat as he sat down on one of his black leather sofa's and stared at his friend. "How? When?"
Arcanus took a deep breath. "I've just come from there,"
"I thought you weren't going again until next week?" Severus asked, cutting across him.
"I got called in – apparently she had been screaming constantly for the past two days, anyway, I went over and as soon as I arrived I could hear her screams, echoing throughout the prison." Severus nodded, listening carefully to the story.
"I moved over to her cell and found her two guards, dead."
Severus sat up.
"What! Her guards were Dementors!"
Arcanus took another breath. "I know, no one knows how she did it, or where she now is. Severus we have to find her!"
Severus nodded, "I'll call you later, let me contact a few people and I'll get back to you."
"Good luck Rusty." Severus glared at the use of his nick name.
"Buggar off wolf." Arcanus smirked and his head vanished from the fire place. Severus stood and stretched, he had to think about this, one wrong contact and this whole thing could be ruined.
