1Chapter 10: Hogwarts

Sirius woke up to the sun shining through his eyelids. He felt a stone floor beneath him. He opened his eyes to find a dark stone ceiling above him. Sirius immediately sat up to find that his hands have been chained to the ground. He looked around panting slowly. A metal door was directly in front of him. Next to Sirius was a bowl filled with water. Sirius picked it up and drained the water.

'How did I get here?' Sirius thought groggily. 'And where am I? What am I doing here?'

A few minutes later, the door opened and Snape walked in. "Top of the morning." Snape smirked. "Do you know how badly I want to kill you?" Sirius glared at Snape. He continued. "This is a dream come true: one of the Marauders held captive. I knew you'd get your ass into boiling water someday."

Sirius continued glaring at Snape. "Let me guess: you are Voldemort's" Snape flinched. "..personal assistant, right?"

"I wish." Snape said. "However, I am merely one of his Death Eaters. And you, my most hated enemy are in for it."

"What, you kidnapped me for your own personal revenge?" Sirius asked.

Snape just smiled wickedly and left the cell. Sirius cursed after Snape and aimed a rude gesture after him. About twenty minutes later, the cell door opened again. Sirius's eyes widened as he looked up to see Voldemort.

"Well, if it isn't Sirius Black." Voldemort whispered. He cackled in his high, cold voice. Sirius glared at him. "I'm sure you are wondering why you were brought here?"

"I'm guessing it's not to take me to dinner." Sirius said sarcastically.

"Correct." Voldemort glared at Sirius. "I believe you have some valuable information. Especially about the Potter boy."

Sirius's mouth dropped open. 'So that's why I was kidnapped. They want information on the Potter's whereabouts.'

"You will tell me what I want to know." Voldemort aimed his wand at Sirius. "Your choice would be to tell me before the pain...or after."

"You want to know where Harry Potter is?" Sirius asked.

"Yes."

"You really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Harry Potter..." Sirius began. Voldemort held his breath and leaned closer. "Is in my pants."

Voldemort stared at Sirius for a while, then raised his wand. "Crucio!"

Sirius screamed and twitched for a few minutes. He took a few deep breaths when it was over. "That all you got?" He asked sarcastically.

"Crucio!" Sirius twitched and screamed for a few more minutes. "Where's the boy?" Voldemort asked louder.

"Go to hell." Sirius said through gritted teeth.

"Crucio!" Voldemort cried again. "I will continue doing this if you don't talk! The more you say, the less pain you will feel!"

Sirius slowly got to his knees and took some more deep breath. "Kill me instead."

"No. I kill you, the valuable information dies with you." Voldemort replied. "But I assure you- once you give up the valuable information, I will kill you."

Voldemort left the cell. Sirius sighed, closed his eyes, and leaned his head against the wall. 'How am I gonna get out of this?'

XXXXXXX

The Potters arrived at Hogwarts at around two in the afternoon. Dumbledore led them upstairs.

"May Iask where we're staying, exactly?" Asked Lily.

"You will be staying in the Gryffindor dormitory." Dumbledore replied. "The Head Boy has his own room, and he agreed to give it up for you three."

"Oh, wow. He didn'ty have to." Lily blushed.

"So, who's the Head Boy this year?" James asked.

"Larry Bennett." Dumbledore answered. They were approaching the Fat Lady's corridor.

"Ah." James nodded. "I remember him. Kind of a stickler for rules, wasn't he?"

"Very." Lily nodded. "He was one of the only fourth-year boys who didn't give us such a hard time."

"Password?" The Fat Lady asked as the foursome approached.

"Lumina." Dumbledore replied. The portrait swung open.

"Whoa." James said as he looked around. "Everything looks exactly the same."

"Indeed it does." Lily agreed.

They headed up to the boys' dormitory and to the end of the hall where a door with the sign "Head Boy" on it.

James sighed happily. "So many good memories happened in this room."

Dumbledore knocked oin the door. The door opened to a tall, lanky boy of seventeen. He had blond hair and brown eyes. He smiled. "Professor Dumbledore."

"Hello, Mr. Bennett. You remember Lily and James." Dumbledore gestured to the Potters.

"Of course." Larry smiled ast Lily and James. "It's good to see you two again."

"Good to see you too, Larry." Lily smiled. "Sorry we're kicking you out of your room."

"Ah, it's okay." Larry waved his hand. "Professor Dumbledore explained the situation."

"Well, I best be off." Dumbledore replied. "Mr. Bennett, I trust you'll get the Potters acquainted." He turned to the Potters. "Enjoy your stay., Hopefully this will only be temporary."

"Thank you, Professor." Lily replied. Dumbledore left. Lily, James, Harry, and Larry walked into the room.

"Wow. Thje previous three Head Boys didn't change a thing, huh?" James noticed.

"Actually, the Head Boy last year was a Ravenclaw, and the year before that was a Hufflepuff." Larry corrected. He nodded to the wall next to the bed. "Your little parting gift is still etched on the wall, James."

James headed to the wall and gasped. "So it is!"

"What parting gift?" Lily asked as she set Harry on the bed.

"I etched 'James Potter- THE Best Head Boy ever' on the wall."

Lily laughed. "You never change, do you?"

James stood up. "So, has there been any changes at Hogwarts since we left?" He asked Lasrry.

"Nothing really." Larry shrugged. "We keep going through Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers and there's a new Potions Master."

"Slughorn retired?" James raised an eyebrow.

"Yep."

Lily sighed. "Thank God. He was getting annoying."

"Really? I always suspected he had a crush on you." James joked.

"Oh, hush." Lily smacked James on the arm.

"So, who is the new Potions Master?" James asked.

Larry hesitat3ed. He knew of James's history with the new potions master. He wasn't sure how he'd react. "Someone you know, actually."

"Really?" James asked. "Cool! Who?"

"Severus Snape."

James gaped. "What?!"
