A/N: once again I'm sorry I didn't update sooner… I have no excuse.. but.. at least I'm updating now..

I watched Professor Mcgonagall as she gazed around the Great Hall, with one eyebrow raised. It might have been my imagination but I thought I saw a smile grace her face for the tiniest second. She marched to the front of the room and turned to look at everyone. The room immediately became silent and she began to speak.

" I see we have been pranked. I have a few things to say on this. The first, we might not be able reverse the prank.. for awhile. I hope to have reversed it by tomorrow morning." I saw Professor Mcgonagall's lips twitch and I had a feeling that she knew exactly how to reverse this spell. Before I could ponder this idea further she resumed her speech.

" I believe I know who the culprit.. or culprits are. Though this idea seems impossible because of past events I only know few students who would pull a prank like this." Before she could continue screams erupted from the Slytherin table. Their "chairs" had vanished with a pop and their "foot rests" had been transfigured into angry snakes. Professor Mcgonagall nonchalantly waved her wand and the snakes disappeared. Though she did nothing about the lack of chairs. She continued her speech as If nothing had happened.

"As far as I know only one of the possible culprits is alive. Remus Lupin. And one other who could have through some miracle come back, Sirius Black."

My heart stopped, Sirius? How is that possible.. He shouldn't be able to come back from the veil. He should have died. I didn't dare turn to were Professor Mcgonagall was staring. I didn't want false hopes but then I heard a voice I hadn't heart since my 5th year. Sirius. There was no question about it, I would recognize that voice anywhere.

" Aw, Minny. How did you know?" whined Sirius as Remus stood besides him, glaring slightly at Sirius. Remus shook his slightly when Sirius used the nickname the marauders had invented for Mcgonagall.

" Sirius, you would do good to never call me that again. Besides you're the only student who would ever think of posting banners that said Slippery Slithering Serpents Should Commit Suicide in a school, or even at all. I doubt even James would have gone that far. But enough of that for now Black. I think you owe someone an explanation."

Professor Mcgonagall sent a swift glance in my direction. My heart was soaring. Sirius isn't dead. I would have the closest thing I've ever had to family back.

Sirius look over at me and I saw his face go from mischievous to concern. He knew I suffered a lot during his lost. I looked at Cho and she whispered, " I'm coming with you." I simply nodded and stood up. We walked up to Sirius and Remus slowly. Sirius looked at the surrounding faces and then looked back to me, " Is there anywhere we can go were we can talk in private?"

Before I could respond Cho spoke up, " Of course. Come on lets go to our office." Sirius looked at Cho, finally noticing she was there and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I blushed slightly and began to lead the way to the offices, while holding Cho's hand. No one spoke a word until we reached the office and Cho had set up privacy spells.

Sirius looked at me questioningly, " So who's the pretty lady?" I barely noticed that Cho had blushed at Sirius' comment as I responded, " Her name is Cho and she's my girlfriend. Now enough on my love life. I want to hear how you came back."

Sirius sighed and sat down and began his tale of escape.

A/N: Well that's it. I might put Sirius' story up, as I'm sure he would make it much more adventurous then it really was.. but I'm not sure. Does anyone want to hear the story as only Sirius could tell it?
