Chapter 1, Taking him in

It was around sunset when I woke from my eternal slumber. I watched as the sky faded from an orange to a dark purple and then to black, as the sun disappeared behind the mountains.

I had read yesterday, in the Daily Prophet, that there was an escaped convict on the loose. I wasn't too surprised to hear that it was the mass murderer, and top Voldemort supporter, Sirius Black. I wasn't the least bit worried or concerned for that matter. I lived in a house up in the mountains, miles north of the prison, Azkaban. The only reason I would have to be worried anyways is being exposed. It's too risky for a vampire to expose themselves.

Well, I grabbed a book from my study, lit a fire in the fireplace and curled up on the couch. The warmth from the fireplace felt goo, cutting through the chilly night air. I always kept my windows open, inviting in the cool night breeze.

I tensed as I heard the sound of sticks cracking somewhere outside. When I didn't hear anything else, I relaxed and returned to my book. But, then I heard it again, so I closed my book and walked to my front door. I opened it slowly, and stepped outside into the darkness.

Using my preternatural sight, I spotted a large black dog. As it got closer, I noticed how starved and tired it looked. But there was something about this dog that wasn't right. I could read his thoughts. Usually my mind is cut off from the minds of animals. This couldn't be possible. Either that or it wasn't a real dog.

And being a part of the wizarding world for so long, and having been a witch before I was made into what it is that I am now, I had a pretty good hunch that this dog could very well be a human that willingly changed into a dog. An animagus.

I took all the information I could from his mind. I didn't find out much information that would be useful to me. Just that he was none other than the escaped convict himself, Sirius Black. Who I have just spoken of minutes ago.

But seeing as in this condition he presented no real threat, I decided to take him in, and let him leave on his own.

'When he wakes up the next morning, I will be gone, safe in my hiding place, and he won't even remember me.' I thought to myself.

Things didn't exactly go according to plan.


How was it? Sorry it's so short. This is just a little something I wrote during double algebra. GAK! Do you know how boring DOUBLE algebra is? It's worse than reading this. I'll tell you that. Well, pretty please review with sugar on top?! Pleeasse!!!
