Hello! Guess what? Physics test was easy peasy, my teacher flashed the answers after we're done and it seems I got everything right! Wo0t wo0t! Okay, anyway, here to answer questions.

Sweetiepiepirate: Hi, okay, well answer to your inquiry is... well, Reine was terrified of them before but it's been a few months now, (it's getting cold), so its been a while. I know people don't recover that quickly and she is still paranoid, but it's just that she's been around these few boys day by day, and slowly trust settles in. She knows that nothing will happen to her at Hogwarts (at least I hope so... eeps) and she learns that life must go on.

And yes, you'll realize Sirius doesn't die. No wait, he does then I get an African shaman to resurrect him from the dead. Yeah he can't die in any circumstances, because well... we know he dies later! =(

ImSiriuslyinLuv, I love your screen name. Yes, don't we ALL want her to be chopped into little pieces and sent to someplace exotic where the cannibals live?!

Dropp-dead-gorgeous: Why was the last part confusing? Well, to put it simply, they're just arguing. Do not believe that whatever they say is true. One thing I've learnt in life is that people say the stupidest, most regrettable things when they're mad. Well, Sirius won't believe her because if he did, there is no drama, and then it'll be boring.

"Aww, is that what really happened? Well, I believe you and I think your father is the biggest sasquatch to have ever lived," said Sirius with a warm nod.

"You're so sensitive," said Reine, blushing. "Well, want to go to the kitchens and grab something sweet to eat?"

"Yeah! Woohoo!"

Yeah? Drama, baby, drama! muttersAnd I needed a way for Reine to find out Sirius' secretmumble

Oh yes! Sorry for the short posts. But you have to understand! I'm terribly, horribly, disastrously busy. But I post almost every day!

"Reine!" Came a faraway call.

I searched frantically. I leaned further out, hands trembling in fear, and saw a struggling figure.

"Sirius!" I screamed.

"Reine, help me!"

I saw him holding on to a large protruding stone dragon's head. His hands were just grabbing the lower jaw. I feared he would fall to his death. And it'll all be my fault.

I racked my brains for something to do. What? I was in total distress. Wait, was I in distress or was Sirius in distress? I figured the latter.

Rope... yes, I need a rope. I pulled my wand out of my pocket and fumbled with it. What was that spell for the rope again... I knew I learnt it in Charms. Conjuring a rope... I wanted to scream. My mind was a total blank.

"Reine please!"

He shouted again. I shut my eyes tight. And then it came to me.

"Tali... Tali Conjurus!" I said, finally remembering the spell. I felt the force of a long piece of strong-looking rope burst from the end of my wand, crumpling to a heap on the stone floor. I grabbed it quickly and flung it over the edge.

"Grab it, Sirius!" I screamed frantically as I gripped the rope tight.

I suddenly felt a weight on the rope. I gritted my teeth as I struggled to pull but I was pulled several steps forward instead. I pushed hard with both my feet, straining every muscle to gather all my strength. Why was I so weak...

And then, there was a sudden decrease in weight. Slightly puzzled, I quickly pulled the rope up much easier than I was able to do before. My palms were already burning as I quickly pulled Sirius higher.

The rope was getting longer on my side now. Just one more pull.

My eyes grew wide when I saw a large black dog with its sharp incisors gripping the rope hard and claws digging into the earth and clawing through the stone. I let the rope go in surprise and let out an earsplitting scream. The dog let out something that sounded like a snarl and jumped frantically onto the stone.

Its front paws landed with a soft tap on the ground and I dropped onto the ground in fear. The dog was breathing heavily and approaching with uneven steps. I tried to back away but my limbs were burning from fatigue. My heart was beating so hard, I could feel it thumping against my chest.

The beast trudged up next to me and in one swift move, collapsed to the ground on its belly. I stared in horror at the dog, its eyes were closed, it was not moving except for its rapid shallow breathing. Frowning in confusion and fear, I began to edge away from the dog.

Suddenly its dark hairy figure faded away to be replaced of one of a boy, lying on the ground breathing fast.

"Sirius!" I gasped in relief as I reached over and turned him around onto his back.

Cold as it was, he was damp with sweat. His eyes were open, thank god and his mouth, surprisingly, twisted into a weak smile.

"Sirius are you okay?" I asked frantically, my heart still beating fast with anxiousness and worry.

He pushed himself up into a sitting position with difficulty.

"I'm fine..." he muttered.

I had almost forgotten about the dog. Everything that mattered now was that he was safe. I had almost killed him.

When he said those words, a wave of relief and delight ran through me, lightening my heart and clearing my cluttered mind. I lunged forwards and wrapped my arms around him. I don't know why I did it... it just happened. A few minutes ago, I was despising every particle of him and now...
