The tin laid warm upon the tabletop, resting in the common room. Waiting to be consumed by the students, the warm gooey chocolate scent traveled down the halls- as the night air went chill.

Harry sat under the patio-like hallway; snow covered the ground and made the air chilly. He covered himself with his cloak, as he watched Ron and Hermione throwing snowballs at each other. Harry didn't want to join; he didn't want to have any fun, dwelling at the lost of his godfather and his misfortune. Ron and Hermione stooped as they heard giggling from the common room. Looking at Harry, they went to check out what was going on.

Sirius wasn't gone only misplaced as he returned from the other plane- not as a human but as Padfoot. Looking around the place he saw Dumbledore standing over him.

"We finally located you, Sirius. But this is your true form now- until we work on the spell to get your body back" Dumbledore stated.

Sirius nodded, but not being able to answer Dumbledore… he looked at Dumbledore with his large brown eyes looking sad.

"Harry will be happy to see you. He should be in the common room by this hour." Dumbledore replied with a smile.

Sirius yapped and ran off to see his godson.

The tin lay there half- consumed as the as the Gryffindors students laid in piles around the common room. Lazy and relaxed everyone was, until Draco's voice echoed through the halls just outside the tower.

"Potter, get out of there and duel me." Draco yelled with a grimace on his face.

Harry got up slowly and went to the door, his clothing all rumpled up and his shirt pulled out. Draco saw the state of his clothing, and looked past Potter into the common room. "Potter is that brownies I smell… the kitchen is closed… where in the bloody hell did you get it." Draco stepped into the room, and went straight to the tin.

The chocolate scent dared Malfoy to take one; he turned towards Ron and Hermione- who were sitting awfully close to each other. "You should get a room." Malfoy comment to them.

"Oh sow off Malfoy, have a brownie." Ron motioned towards the tin.

Sirius saw the state of his Godson and his friends, keeping himself hidden and his plan to get them relaxed took effect on the younglings.

Draco sat next to Weasel and Granger… he wondered why he felt so comfortable sitting next to them. The only thing he had was two servings of the brownies. He looked over as others were munching on other sweets.

The Night was crisp as Padfoot sat on one of the Tower, hearing a footstep against the stone ground. Padfoot looked up at Minvera. "Good Evening, Sirius…" Minvera rose her eyebrow. "I heard from Dumbledore that we got you back- but I didn't know that it was only in this form." She stated.

Padfoot looked up at Minvera and gave a yelp; Minvera looked closer at Padfoot- "Your plan is in action." She simply said as she left the tower- leaving Sirius alone.

Sunlight shone through the windows of the common room as the students started waking up one by one with huge hangovers. Draco, Hermione, and Ron were on a couch- and practically hanging all over each other. Harry was next to them in his own chair.

Harry opening his eyes to see his world upside down, more accurate he found out that he was upside down in the chair- so he flipped himself upright with a grunt. "What a night!" Harry comment as he saw a dog underneath his chair. "Sirius…?" Harry looked closer and sure enough it was… Harry ran over with a huge hug… and scratched behind his godfather's ears. Not caring about anything else- soon enough everyone left the common room with nothing to talk about… about the night before… and those brownies.
