Sirius stared out were Artimis had floated out. Sirius went over and laid down on his bed. He gathered himself under the covers. He liked Artimis, but was it more than what he thought? Did he feel the same way? Sirius lay there in thought. He lay there thinking for about an hour, until he fell asleep. ~*~ Sirius was in the hall to the great hall. Sirius walked into the hall to the Great Hall, but when he touched the door to open it, his hand went through. Sirius was in a bit of shock, but just walked through. Sirius looked around the Great Hall; he saw the Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and the Gryffindor tables. At the Gryffindor table he saw Artimis, she wasn't dead. It appeared to be lunch. Artimis had a book in front of her; she sat at the end of the Gryffindor table, all by herself. Some of the Slytherins' were whispering to each other, and pointing at Artimis. Two of them giggled. A boy, about a sixth year by the looks of it, pointed his wand at Artimis, and whispered something. Suddenly her book went flying up in the air, and tore itself into tiny bits. 'That's it!' yelled Artimis standing up. 'What is wrong with you? Can't I ever do my work?' 'Oh, well sorry Miss. I-can-turn-in-an-assignment-whenever-I-want-to- because-my grandfather-is-the-headmaster!' yelled a girl sitting next to the boy. 'I have to turn in every thing when everyone else does too!' yelled Artimis back. Fawks came flying in and landed on Artimis' head. Fawks squawked something into Artimis' ear. 'Fine,' said Artimis and picked up her not ripped things and followed Fawks. 'Artimis? What was that all about? Who are those buffoons?' asked Sirius Artimis didn't say anything. 'Arti?' Artimis still said nothing. Fawks curved his head and glared at Sirius. 'Squawk! ' Said Fawks loudly 'What's wrong with you, today? There's no one there. So what do you mean 'look there's a boy' Because I don't see any boy.' Said Artimis looking at where Sirius stood, of course she couldn't see him, but Fawks was a different story. Fawks still glared at where Sirius stood. 'I do not feel up to going to see grandfather give him this,' Artimis scribbled on a piece of paper and gave it to Fawks ' Make sure he gets it this time, alright?' Fawks' head bobbed up and down (Think of a bobble head doll.) Fawks swooped off toward Dumbledore's office. Artimis walked quietly up to the Gryffindor common room. Artimis walked over to one of the big chairs in front of the fireplace and flopped down upon it. Artimis looked up at the ceiling, and then back down, her eyes scanned the room. 'Who's there?' She whispered 'I am' Said Sirius even though he knew she wouldn't hear him. 'What? I can barely hear you. 'Said Artimis 'You can hear me?' Said Sirius walking over to her 'Yes. Yes I can hear you!' Said Artimis looking around 'Artimis?' Someone said as they came into the common room. Artimis looked over. It was Peeves. 'Now what do you want?' asked Artimis sounding annoyed 'Nothing. What was up in the great hall?' Asked Peeves eyeing her 'That? Oh, it was nothing.' Said Artimis. 'Who's that?' Asked Peeves pointing at Sirius. 'She can't see me and let's leave it at that.' Said Sirius Then Sirius realized something, Peeves never acted like that he was always being pesky and annoying students. 'Well, Dumbledore paid me to figure it out, oh well still pulled in the dough!' 'I though so.' Said Artimis slowly. 'Can you leave; just tell him I'm tired.' 'Okay, whatever. I'll do it if I feel like it.' Said peeves grinning Peeves turned around and floated off. Artimis got up and walked up the stairs to the girls' dormitory. 'Uh-oh. I have to go up to the girls' dorm?' Sirius mumbled to himself Sirius slowly walked up the steps to the girls' dorm. 'Oh. I'd get in so much trouble if someone found out I was going up here.' Sirius said to himself Sirius got to the top; no one but Artimis was there. Artimis looked at the ceiling. She yawned, even though it was only 3:30 (late lunch.). Artimis sat up and went over to her trunk; she pulled out a leather bound book. She opened it. Sirius went over to her and looked over her shoulder. In the book were pictures and other things like: Pictures, hair, drawings and a broken wand. Under the items was a label like, 'Samtha's first broken wand.' And 'Samtha's hair.' There was more, but Artimis closed the book before Sirius could look at anymore. Artimis grabbed her pajamas and went over closer to her bed to put them on. 'And this is the time I leave.' Said Sirius backing out of the room. Sirius heard some loud thumping sounds. Sirius just ignored them. He heard the sound of someone falling backward onto a bed. Sirius went back in the room. Artimis was pulling the curtains closed. She yawned again, and got into bed. In about ten minutes she was asleep. Sirius stood in the corner not knowing what to do, when the thudding sound was very close. Sirius looked around; the sound was coming from out side the door. The door burst open, and Sirius saw the werewolf. Sirius didn't know what to do. He ran over and shook Artimis 'Wake up, a werewolf!' He yelled She didn't hear him, and his arms went right threw her. 'Damn it! Wake up!' He yelled again The werewolf charged and slashed through the curtains. The werewolf started to dig into Artimis' skin. She was awake now, and screaming. She jumped up, scared and bleeding. Sirius stood there; there was nothing he could do. 'Why do I keep having these nightmares? And why so I only have them when Artimis is away?' He heard Artimis scream, she was in the common room probably. 'I'm going to wake up and find Artimis.' ~*~ Sirius sat up in his bed at the inn. He got up and walked over to the window, he grabbed his broom and the invisibility cloak.

"Do you know what? I think Sirius is keeping something from us." said Remus. "Yeah, I mean he's been almost ignoring us!" Said James in a low voice. Peter yawned. "I'm going to go to bed, I'm sleepy." Said Peter in his little squeaky voice. "Yeah, me too. Good night James." Said Remus and walked up stairs James swirled his tea in his mug. "What is he up to anyway?" Said James to himself, the drank the rest of his tea in one big gulp.
