"I'll be at the clock tower, make sure you come there." She wispered to Sirius while they floated back to the 'Robes for all occasions' shop.
Sirius Nodded. They floated through the ceiling and landed on the floor of the changing room.

Sirius Similed " I'll come stright to the clock tower"
Sirius quietly walk out to where dumboldore was.
Sirius put The robe he had taken off the rack and putit back on the rack.

Dumboldore looked over from his spot out the window. "You know," said dumboldore his voice sounding crackly, " I never thought I would tell anyone exept madam
Kuju, about Artimis. Maybe I should tell you more about her..." Dumboldore was inturputed by Sirius.

"Uhhhh... that's okay, I just want to help you so you don't look like a veg-" Sirius was inturuped by the door opening and closing.

"Is Dumboldore and Sirius Black here?" Said the same voice the day before, Flunders

"Yes there upstairs." Said the Plump lady in a happy tone.

Flunders pounded up the steps.

"Proffeser Dumboldore! You Must Punish Sirius Black! He bent Severus nose!" Yelled Flunders

"Please keep it a little more quiet please." Said the lady from the desk.

"Severus nose was already bent!" Yelled Sirius back at Professer Flunders

"Alittle more quiet please!" said the lady happier than ever.

Flunders turned as red as a beet. " Severus at least has a bettter looking face than you!" Flunders didn't relize that Dumboldore could get him in big trouble if he did anything.

Sirius looked mad. Real mad.
Dumboldore got up and took Sirius' arm. "I'll punish him Jerr. Leave it to me." Said Dumboldore With no interest in his voice.

Flunders stood there as Dumboldore dragged Sirius down the stairs and out the door.
Dumboldore let go of Sirius arm and walked stright to the inn.

"You must be hungry it's almost lunch." Remarked Dumboldore.
Sirius looked up at the clock tower, it was about 11:30.

"Alittle. Not really, but i have to be somewhere about 12:00 so you know."said Sirius. Sometimes Sirius thought of Dumboldore as a parent, So he wasn't always keeping secerts from Dumboldore.

"Thats alright, you can go when you wish to." said Dumboldore cracking a smile.
Sirius looked up at Dumboldore. His half moon glasses glinted in the sunlight.

Dumboldore opened the door to the inn.

Dumboldore took a seat at the bar stools, Sirius sat next to him.

"Aye! 'Ello Albus! What'll it be toda'?" asked the man behind the counter.

"Soup,please, tomato, with some basil." said Dumboldore smiling "And a cup of coffee. You Sirius? What would you like?"

"Uh... I'll have the same but no coffee, water will be fine." said Siruis. He turned and looked at dumboldore.

"So, about this Artimis girl. Whats she like?" Asked Sirius looking through the half moon glasses into his eyes.

"She was a nice girl had a hard life. She always looked at the bright side of things though, when ever I was sad she always made me happy. She always seemed like an angel, Madam Kuju always called her sweet,and angel, I never know what she would look like when she would have grown up..." Dumboldore looked down at his feet.

"Here's yer coffee." Said the man. "Careful tis' hot."
The man walked off.

"How old was she when she died?" asked Sirius all most silently

"A first year, the year before you came. I don't know why she did that. God, why her?" Dumboldore held his head.

"What did she do?"

"It wasn't lil' Arti. T'was her mum. She wanted Arti dead." Dumboldore wiped off his face.

"Why?"

"Arti had a gift. The gift to talk to birds,and fly with them, and control some. Her mother wanted those powers so she sent some on to get Arti, He failed. She wanted Artimis' power more and more. She never got it. She thought it would be better if Arti where dead. She sent a werewolf to kill her and only her. The werewolf did. Then I...I...I killed it. The damn beast, I thought it bad for Remus to come because of that."

"...Oh..." Sirius looked at the clock, about 11:40.

" 'ere are yer' tomato soups." Said the man and smiled

"Thanks." Said Sirius smiling.

"Isn't that gift given in what? 1 in a million people have it?"

"Less, more like 2 in a billion."

"Kind of like the ability to talk to snakes? Parcel tounge right?" asked Sirius taking a sip of his soup.

Dumboldore nodded. "The only way you can have it is if you have the most harsh punishment that anyone could think of,no free soul." Dumboldore sipped his soup.

"What do you mean no free soul?"

"She wasn't aloud to love. She lived a life of being loved butnot herself loving anyone. She can care about people but if they died she wouldn't be sad. No tears would come. The only way she can love is when she's dead. She can love in her heart but not show any imotions."

"Arti would like you, she'd find you very nice."

The clock struck 12:00.

"Ah, I see you must be going." Said Dumboldore smiling.

"One last question. What was her favriote thing in the whole world?"

Dumboldore smiled, "Most of the time when I saw her she was getting in trouble or she was writing in her journal, making storys and writing in different langues, mostly animal, thats what she did alot. I always saw her making storys, Some funny some sad."
Dumboldore drank his coffee. " Well you had better get going, don't want to be late." Dumboldore smiled.

Sirius smiled. "See you later professer."
Sirius got up and put some money on the bar, and walked out.
Sirius walked up to the front of the clock tower.
He opened the door and steped in.
The walls had only stairs , the clock was magic so it didn't need mechanisims to work.
The walls where covered with stairs and went up,up,up and up. The stairs seemed to never end.

Sirius heard what sounded like a cooing. (As in bird talk.)
Sirius saw Artimis floating about 20 feet up. Talking to a pigion.

"Arti?" Sirius said. His voice bouncing off the walls.

Artimis looked down and saw Sirius.

"Ah! Come on up." She said smiling.
Siruis looked at all the stairs.
He started walking and Artimis floated down to where he was.

"You know no one has called me Arti for a long time. Where did you hear that name?"

"Dumboldore."
There was a loud creak sound as the door opened.
This scared Sirius. He lost his balence.
He was falling.
Sirius had been about 35 feet off the floor.
Sirius was scared, then passed out from fright.
Aritimis had to decied, save Sirius?
Or save herself from someone finding her?
