Extremely Important Author Note: I am so lost on where this fic is going that it's quite sad actually, see I started writing it a long time ago and never really thought through where it was going to, so yah! Anyways, I was planning on abandoning it, but seeing as how I am still getting occasional reviews from people who actually like it, I am going to continue. Keep in mind though, three important things, one-this chapter and the next two were written before I had my wonderful beta reader Artemis, so she hasn't read any of the chapters from this story and has no idea what it's about and she already works hard enough on Star-Crossed Lovers that I don't want her to have to read it so it will not be beta read for quite a long time, please bare with me, second-the story will be taking strange turns after the next three chapters because I have actually thought up a plot now, unfortunately for some of you, that involves heavy Harry/Severus slash and one very volatile godfather, and lastly-sorry I used to be stupid, Star-Crossed Lovers actually had a plot from the beginning and I know how it's going to end, I also have a sequel planned although it's still in the works. Anyways, please attempt to enjoy!

CHAPTER 11-LOST MISUNDERSTANDINGS

Harry made his way back to the defense against the dark arts class, hoping that by some chance Sirius was still there. Harry got to the classroom and saw that the door was shut. He went to it and knocked but there was no answer. He tried to open it, but to his dismay, found that it was locked.

"Oh great", Harry said to himself," I wonder if Sirius has an office?" Harry thought hard and decided that his office would probably be the same as the other defense against the dark arts teachers, and since he had been there many times before, he headed off in that direction. On his way Harry passed by the great hall. He could hear the loud chatter that was coming from inside and decided to take a peek just to see if Sirius was there. He glanced up at the teachers' table but Sirius's place was empty. Harry left without another thought. As he was heading toward Sirius's office, he heard a voice coming from one of the classrooms.

"...Harry and nobody's going to do anything about it!" The voice was very familiar and then it came to him. How could he forget? It was Reamus Lupin, but whom was he talking to? Harry got slightly closer to the door. The door was open a crack so Harry could hear everything perfectly.

Then the other person spoke," I don't believe it!" It was Sirius, Harry was sure. Harry was about to enter when Sirius continued," That good for nothing...I mean he can't even do magic...I don't see why Dumbledore doesn't just get rid of him, believe me we'd all be a lot better off without him!"

"And safer too", Reamus added. Harry couldn't believe his ears; they weren't talking about him, were they?

Suddenly Sirius started talking again," Why doesn't that squib just go live in the muggle world where he belongs."

"Yah, but what makes you think the muggles would want him anymore then we do", Reamus added. The two of them began to laugh hysterically.

'They are talking about me', Harry thought. He felt his eyes begin to sting. 'Well I don't need them, I don't need any of them', Harry thought as he raced away from the classroom.

"I'm glad you told me Reamus. I can't believe Filtch would do something like that", Sirius said.

"Yah, me neither", Reamus replied.

"Well I need to get to the hospital wing and check on Harry. The poor kiddo. I'll see you at dinner then?"

"Of course." And the two of them left the classroom headed in different directions.

When Sirius reached the hospital wing the only one he saw was Madame Pomfrey who was picking up some school robes off of one of the beds.

"Excuse me, but have you seen Harry?"

"No", Madame Pomfrey replied turning toward Sirius," but I suppose he must have stopped by, because he changed into his the robes you set out for him. Maybe he went to the great hall to have a bite to eat."

"Yah maybe. Well thanks, and if you see him could you tell him that I'm looking for him?"

"Of course!" Sirius left toward the Great Hall. When he got there he entered quietly and searched up and down the Gryffindor table until his eyes fell upon Ron and Hermione, but Harry was no where to be seen. Sirius made his way over to Ron.

"Hey Ron, have you seen Harry?"

"No, why?"

"Well I stopped by the hospital wing and he wasn't there. You did take him to the hospital wing didn't you?"

"Well not exactly."

"What do you mean 'not exactly'"?

"Well we got into a bit of an argument and just before we got there he told me to...well...basically get lost. So I did."

"YOU WHAT?" Sirius was beginning to get worried.

Meanwhile Harry had already made his way to the entrance hall, out the great oak doors, across the school grounds, and disappeared into the Forbidden Forest. The trees loomed over him and it seemed as if the day had suddenly turned to night, for the trees were so dense that the sun hardly made a speckle of light on the forest floor. Harry wondered through the darkness, turning his eyes back every once in a while to take many last looks at his school, before he could no longer even see a glimpse of it. Sirius's words repeated themselves over and over again in his head, each time tearing him apart inside more and more. Small frightening noises could be heard all around Harry, and after what felt like hours of walking he began to think twice about leaving.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I didn't think the forest was this deep. I've never been this far into the forest. I think I'm lost." Harry continued on, but much slower now. Suddenly there was a loud snap behind him.

Harry whirled around only to find himself face to face with a Yukeron. Harry slowly reached into his robes for his wand, but it wasn't there. Then it hit him. He had left his wand in his bloody robes when he had changed. Harry was panicking. The Yukeron began to charge, and Harry turned and made a mad dash for somewhere safe. The faster Harry ran, the farther he went, the darker things became, and the closer the tramping feet of the Yukeron sounded. Suddenly the path ended. Harry stopped as he found himself at the edge of a ravine. He took a quick glance down into the ravine. It was pitch black as if it had no end. Harry's thoughts suddenly reverted back to the Yukeron. He whirled around. The Yukeron had stopped as well clearly out of breath, but it didn't seem as though it had given up. It appeared to realize that Harry was cornered, because it began a slow advance. Harry took a step backward toward the ravine, and suddenly from out of nowhere he heard a voice yell in his ear," STOP!" But Harry realized to late what the voice had meant. He felt the ground beneath him give way, and suddenly he was falling. Everything darkened and soon Harry blacked out.

Meanwhile Sirius had gone on a frantic search of the school looking for Harry. After an hour of searching there was still no sign of him. Sirius finally decided that it would be best to alert Dumbledore and the other professors. Sirius raced to Dumbledore's office and found him there talking to Snape.

"Dumbledore!" Dumbledore and Snape turned to Sirius quite surprised.

"Don't you have a class you should be teaching right now, Black?" Snape sneered. Sirius had completely forgotten.

"Yes, but I was speaking to Dumbledore!" Sirius grumbled back.

"What is it Sirius?" Dumbledore asked after a brief moment of silence.

"Harry is missing. I can't find him anywhere. No one has seen him since class, which was over three hours ago!" Dumbledore sensing the panic in Sirius's voice tried to calm him.

"Sirius listen, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, but to be cautious I will alert the other teachers. Have you searched the grounds yet?"

"No", Sirius replied," but I'll go right away!"

"As will I." Sirius turned to Snape and glared at him as if he had just uttered some kind of horrible curse. "You realize that I don't hate the boy as much as you may think. On the contrary, I have become quite fond of the boy", Snape replied breaking the silence.

"Then it's agreed! The other professors and I will continue to search the school. Don't worry Sirius, we'll find him." Dumbledore replied. With that Sirius and Snape left for the grounds.

When they got there, the grounds were completely empty.

'This is pointless', Sirius thought to himself as he glanced around the grounds,' there's clearly no one out here.' Suddenly his eyes fell upon the Forbidden Forrest. "He couldn't be", Sirius said quietly to himself as he thought about this morning when Harry had been starring into the forest. Sirius glanced around. Snape was on the other end of the grounds. Sirius watched as he entered the Quidditch pitch. 'Now's my chance.' With that Sirius snuck quietly into the Forbidden Forest. He followed a thin dirt path deep into the forest for what felt like hours before the path suddenly ended. Sirius continued to walk on. The forest was pitch dark and he couldn't tell whether it was nighttime or not. Finally he decided to start calling for Harry since he could no longer see anything and wouldn't have been able to see Harry even if he had been sitting directly next to where he was walking. "Harry! Harry! Harry where are you? Please Harry, if you're out there say something! Harry! Har..." Sirius stopped dead in his tracks.

He had just emerged from behind a cluster of bushes and found himself mere yards behind a Yukeron. Sirius slowly pulled out his wand. Luckily the Yukeron hadn't noticed him yet, so he was granted the element of surprise. Sirius took a few steps closer to the Yukeron, and realized suddenly why the Yukeron had yet to notice him. The Yukeron was pacing back and forth at the edge of a wide ravine starring down into the depths of the darkness intently barring it's teeth as if it was waiting for something...'or someone!' Sirius snuck a little bit closer before firing a knockback jinx at it. It hit right on target. The Yukeron collapsed to the ground, but soon it was back on it's feet scampering away.

Once it was out of sight Sirius approached the edge of the ravine. Sirius peered down into its depths of solid darkness looking for any signs of Harry, but it was too dark to see anything. He called down into the darkness, but no reply came. Sirius was about to continue his search when something caught his eye. On a small limb of a plant growing on the side of the ravine was a piece of cloth. Sirius bent down and reached toward the cloth. Once in hand he examined it closely. Sure enough it was from a Hogwart's robe, and maybe even, with some luck, from Harry. Sirius called once more into the depths of the ravine, but to his dismay there was still no answer. Sirius was sure though that Harry was down there, so he conjured up a long piece of rope, and tying one end to the nearest tree, began his descent into the darkness. Only hoping that Harry was alive and unharmed.
