Chapter Three
Sirius Black
"I still can't believe Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban." Hermione says, petting Crookshanks. "How do they accidentally let a prisoner escape?"
"Harry," Mr. Weasley says, "Mind if I have a word?" Harry and Mr. Weasley walk off. Hermione turns and talks to Ron, and Mrs. Weasley ties back Ginny's hair.
"Thanks for breakfast, Mrs. Weasley." Mona thanks her. "It was very kind of you to invite us. We really appreciate it."
"Oh, anything dearies." She replies, walking over to us.
"We can repay anytime you'd like. We've been saving up so we can eventually repay you for everything. We almost have enough-" I start, but Mrs. Weasley shushes me.
"Oh hush hush! That won't be necessary, dearies. My treat. Just keep my boys out of trouble. That's the only payment I need." She beams at us.
"Alright. Thank you, Mrs. Weasley."
"My pleasure." She walks over to Ron. Fred and George turn to us.
"So, how does it feel to have a mass-murderer on the loose?" Fred asks.
"No, not just a mass-murderer, a mass-murdering wizard?" George corrects him.
"Oh yes, of course, mass-murdering wizard."
"Well, I mean, it's a mass-murderer so…peachy, I guess." Mona answers.
"Hmm…an interesting answer." George says, stroking his chin.
"Who did he kill anyway? I know he was a death eater."
"He killed multiple muggles and Peter Pettigrew."
"Peter Pettigrew?"
"A Gryffindor back in his day. According to tales, all the found left of him was a finger!" Fred tells us. "He literally destroyed the guy."
"Wow."
"And that's not even the worst thing he did."
"Well, tell us, what did he do?" I beg for an answer.
"Apparently he led You-Know-Who to Harry's parents and betrayed them. All in all, Harry can also consider Sirius Black to be the murderer of his parents." George finishes. "Yeah, crazy right? And now, Dad thinks he's come to finish the job."
"You mean-?" Mona looks at him.
"He's coming to kill Harry Potter."
