As Sirius saw the sky was getting light in the East, he poked his two comrades in the ribs. "Up you get, boys!" he told them cheerfully. "And have a nice second day in that wilderness!"
"That's the spirit", Remus yawned, crawling out of his blankets. "Where do I get my breakfast egg, toast and tea?"
"No egg and toast, sorry, but I think you can have some tea", Sirius answered amusedly. "And then we'll continue sneaking up to that fortress or whatever it is. Pity we don't know its exact position. I'd really prefer Apparating."
"Damn that fortress!" Severus agreed. "I swear I'll do something dreadful to it as soon as we get there."
They washed themselves at a small pond nearby, then had their breakfast. There wasn't much choice for them; they only had bread, cheese, dried fruit and water with them, but at least for Sirius this was much more than he was used to. Then they packed their things and prepared to depart.
"Where are we going?" Remus asked, scanning the forest uncertainly.
North, a voice somewhere inside their minds whispered. Straight north.
"If you think so", Sirius muttered to himself.
I do.
