Chapter 52
Sirius sat in a chair in front of a dwindling fire along with a small group of death eaters.
"So, where exactly are we?" he asked.
"Dunno." was the reply. "My lord fears that there may be spies or traitors among us, so he let's nobody but his inner-circle know where we are. The rest of us use portkeys."
MacNair walked into the room. "Black, take this to the prisoners. Hurry up about it."
Sirius took the tray of half rotten food that MacNair was holding and made his way to James and Remus' cell. On his way, he ducked into a storeroom where he knew their wands were being kept. Locating them quickly, he hid the wands under the rim of the plate on the tray and continued on his way to the cell. He opened the door and put the tray down, then, drawing his own wand, he stepped inside.

Remus and James looked up as they heard the door open. When they saw a dark figure come through the door, the quickly stood up. As the figure walked closer, they recognised it as Sirius. James rushed at Sirius, fists flying, as Remus tried half-heartedly to hold him back.
"Stop it you git." Sirius snapped, pointing his wand at James. "Don't be a fool."
Remus held onto James' shoulders as James, still trying to land a punch on Sirius, spoke angrily. "Don't be a fool? Speak for yourself, you traitor! How could you turn on us like that? How?"
Sirius looked them in the eyes and said softly and coldly, "Things aren't always what they seem. Don't talk about things that you know nothing about."
With that, he walked out of the cell, slamming the door behind him.
James pulled free of Remus' grip just as the door slammed shut. He charged at the door and pounded on it shouting "Traitor" as he heard a key turning in the lock and Sirius muttering a simple locking spell.
"Look at this slop!" James said disgustedly, looking at the tray of food.
"Yeah, you'd think that he'd at least find us something decent to eat." Remus mused.
"He's turned. Why would he bother?" James asked bitterly. "But on the bright side, while this stuff is no good for eating, maybe it's good for target practice."
"You are not throwing that at me." Remus said flatly.
"I'm just trying to see the good in this situation." James said lightly.
He picked up the plate off the tray and went to pick out a piece of something indescribably disgusting when Remus let out a cry and grabbed the tray.
"Our wands!" he whispered excitedly, handing James his wand and pocketing his own.
"Things aren't always what they seem! This is what he meant - he hasn't turned! It's all an act!" James exclaimed.
They hid their wands in their robes, agreeing that they couldn't attempt an escape until Sirius told them that he was ready. They didn't want him to get in trouble.
***
Sirius returned to the cell later that evening with a tray of food that was slightly less rotten than the last one. When he had put the tray down, Remus thanked him for their wands and asked him when they were leaving.
Sirius looked dumbfounded. "What wands?"
"It's called sarcasm, you git." James said, realising that Sirius hadn't had anything to do with it.
Remus took the hint. "If you'd ever truly been our friend, you'd at least give us our wands back so that we would have a fighting chance."
Sirius glared convincingly and spoke coldly. "You had your chance to choose your loyalties. You chose the wrong path, and now you're not leaving this cell. Well, not alive anyway."
He paused for a second, then swept out of the cell, once again slamming the door behind him.
A/N Ha. What do you think of Sirius now? Hopefully some of you will be confused, but I know that some of you won't be, since you've already guessed what's going on. Thankyou to all those people who sent 'hate mail' of sorts. It probably sounds weird, but you made our day! Thanks to everyone else who reviewed too. You all rock!
Thanks to "Lady Fae" "mione_xavier" "Freckled-Angel" "Miss_Padfoot003" "Star" "ronluvr28" "ilovststionary" "Hoover" "Nie Starwhistler" "Krystyn1688"
Lady Fae - What do you mean by Potc?
mione-xavier - What makes you think we're not mad? All our friends tell us we are!
Freckled-Angel - We have no idea what's up with that stupid 'chapter does not exist' thing. We'll try to sort it out.
Miss_Padfoot003 - :P We DID get some nasty reviews! *victory dance*
ronluvr28 - If we don't update for ages again (hopefully that won't happen, but you never know) wait a couple of weeks and check back. We're really sorry for taking so long to update, and we'll try not to be so slack again.
Krystyn1688 - Don't worry, we have it all planned out. We love Pirates of the Caribbean too! It seriously rocks!
