Chapter eleven: Eloping
ooo

« Why dont we go to London for a couple of weeks?», Sirius asked Sarah, after she had exclaimed that she was bored. « what?», she looked at him.
« yes, come on, Remus wont be back for another week, and there is still five weeks til start of term, why not take a holiday of our own. We'll go to London and if we are bored there, well the whole world is waiting to be explored », he said taking her hand in excitement.
« and we'll have time for all of that in two weeks?», she peered at him.
« you keep forgetting that you are a witch now! With the combination of apparation and port keys, why we could travel the world in two days!», he said somewhat dramatically.
« can I... can I think about it? I am off to see Severus, I'll think about it and answer you later, is that ok?», she asked.
« sure! I'll see you at dinner then», he walked with her to the edge of the stair leading down to the dungeons and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She wanted to think about this, because secretly she wanted to see what Snape thought of her going away with Sirius. She had still not given up hope that he might feel the same for her, as she did for him.
ooo
After two cups of tea she finally said it.
« so... Sirius has asked me to come stay with him in London for two weeks». He put his cup down and looked at her, « what? Why? Dont you spend enough time together as it is?»
« well I told him that I was a bit restless and bored, and he suggested that we should go away together». She sipped her tea, somewhat happy that his intial reaction had been what she had hoped for. « and you are actually going?» he asked. « well.. I havent said yes yet... I said I would think about it.»
« well... you... you... CANT!» he exclaimed. « and why cant I...?», she asked and took another sip of her tea.
« because.. well, its just not right! It just isnt!», he said angrily. « why isnt it right?... we are just two friends, going on a trip», she said and continued before he could answer, «and even if he does have some other intentions, which I know he doesnt, but even if he did. I am single, arent I? It not like I am already taken. Its not like someone else had claimed me as his!». She stared right into his eyes when she said it.
« but...», he was grasping for words now, he could not let her leave.
« But what?!», she got up, glaring at him. « give me one reason not to go! Other than the fact that you hate him. Severus, please! Give me one reason why I should stay here with you and not go with him. One reason, any reason and I wont go!»
She waited for him to say something, she was practically begging him not to let her go. He wanted to say 'dont go because I love you, because you are mine', but every time he opened his mouth, the words refused to come out.
« fine! if you have nothing to say to me, then I guess I'll be seeing you in two weeks!», she all but screamed at him and left. Slamming the door so hard behind her, that the underwater window vibrated.
Snape fell back into his chair. « Snivellus, you idiot!»
ooo
She went up to Sirius' room and knocked on the door, he had barely opened before she said, « you know... I am feeling very restless here. I could really do with a trip or ten».
« well then its settled! I'll notify Dumbledore, and you go pack, and we can leave after dinner».
« why wait till after dinner? I can pack quickly and you tell Dumbledore, and we can have dinner in London», she said.
« alright, we can do that. Now run off and pack, I'll meet you in the entrance hall in ten minutes». « deal!», she said and ran to her room.
ooo
She was so angry with Snape! She could tell that he didnt want her to leave. «but why had he not said anything, why had he not stopped her? Oh the foul git!»
Quickly she grabbed the things she needed to bring, and stuffed them into the bag with the enlargement charm on it. With a quick overview to see that she had everything she wanted to bring, she threw it over her shoulder and left the room.
« are you ready?» She met Sirius on the stairs leading to the entrance hall. « yes sir!»
« well then come on». they headed out the castle and towards the gates. « I told Dumbledore where we were and that we will send him an owl if we leave London, so he knows where to reach us» Sirius said as they were almost jogging down the path, both eager to set off.
The moment they passed the gates, they barely even stopped, Sirius threw his arms around her and they were gone. Had they lingered for even a second she would have heard Snape calling for her.
He came out of the castle just as they reached the gates. «SARAH!» he called for her, but they had already disapparated.
He had realised a second too late that she didnt tell him she was leaving with Sirius because she wanted to go. She had told him because she hoped he would stop her.
« Severus you bloody fool! You had her within reach and you just let her go».
ooo
ooo
Sarah and Sirius apparated to a small back alley, close to Grimmauld place.
As they were headed for his house, Sirius seemed almost giddy. « Oh we'll have so much fun! Just you wait and see» he said while opening the door and letting her in.
She wasnt sure what she had expected the house to be like in real life, but it was nothing like that.
Sure in a way it was clear that once this had been a house of grandeur and wealth. Sure you could see that Sirius had done what ever he could to make it liveable and warm again. The paint on the walls and carpets on the floors all seemed new. Too new, as if hardly anyone had walked on them since they were laid. The rooms were all full of light and decorated in warm, bright, vibrant tones, clearly an attempt to keep the darkness out.
Against all attempts to turn the house into a home, there was a deafening silence to it. A vast feeling of emptiness.
Sarah found herself thinking that even a ghosthouse would have a stronger presence, a clearer feeling that at least once there had been life here, but there was not so much as an echo of it. The huge house, was drowned in darkness and loneliness. She found herself looking around for a certain houseelf, but it soon became apparent that he wasnt there. There was no one there.
Only Sirius.
« Come on, I'll show you to your room», he said and lead her up the stairs. On their way, they passed the portrait of his mother. The curtains were drawn back, and the old lady was obviously yelling something, but there was no sound.
« it took seven simultaneous silencing charms to finally get her quiet», Sirius said in a little laugh, « it will have to do until I figure out how I can get the damn thing off the wall. When I painted the walls, I even tried simply painting over her, but it wouldnt stick...sometimes I stand here and annoy her. Saying things like 'whats that mother? You want me to marry a muggle? Well anything you say mother'. See, now she heard me and she is off again», he pointed at the painting.
True enough, the woman was pacing and screaming, kicking aside the chair she had been posing on. « Now, now Mrs. Black, thats not very ladylike is it?», Sarah teased her. This made her so furious she simply left the painting. Sirius laughed. « see, it's fun to annoy the old hag!».
ooo
They went to out to muggle London for dinner, seeing as all Sirius had in his pantry was various types of firewhisky, mustard and some mouldy bread he had forgotten to chuck out before coming to Hogwarts for the summer.
After dinner, Sarah suggested that they just head out into the streets and see where the wind takes them. Sirius completely agreed.
It was almost dark when they left the resturant. They flipped a coin to see if they would turn right or left and just walked, for hours. Just talking about all things and nothing. Sarah told him about the eight months she had lived and worked in London, before she got too restless and moved again.
« I do hope you dont feel that way about Hogwarts. If you left, it would never be the same place again. You would take all the fun with you» Sirius said. « I think Remus would loose his mind, he has grown very attached to you, he really does love you.»
« I love him too, he is the closest friend I've ever had», she said and meant it.
« not to mention that if you left, Snape would make hell on earth for those poor students, he would be so upset, he would probably even take points from Dumbledore», he said with a chuckle. « oh I'm not so sure about that», she protested and told him how she had given him one last chance to tell her if he wanted her, and he had just stood there and let her leave. « I dont think he would really care.» she said, « if I stayed or left».
Sirius could have argued with this, but did not. Instead he said, « and I would not miss you at all». She looked at him, « not even a little bit?. He shook his head.
« not even a drop, because if you ever decided to leave, I would come after you».
She hugged him, « you are so sweet! No wonder they say girls fall for you by the dozens».
Sirius looked around on the gound. « what girls? Where? I only see you, and you are standing. Who says that anyway?». « well Severus told me to watch out for you, that you would surely break my heart», she said in a laugh.
« I break your heart? No I think he meant to say that if anyone breaks your heart, I'll break their necks. Did he tell you this today?», he looked at her.
«oh no ages ago, after that first talk we had in the woods, that morning he saw us come out of your room and he thought we had spent the night together». « but we did spend the night together», Sirius said. « No he thought we had.. you know.. spent, the night, together...?».
A sudden realisation came to Sirius, «oooh... he did, did he?».
« he did and he was furious! Telling me that you would certainly break my heart, and that you were no good».
Sirius asked what she had said to this. « well I told him the truth, that I already knew you were no good, and that it would take more than unaturally good looks to make me fall», she gave him a smile.
« well one cant argue with the truth can one?», he said and pretended he was eyeing himself in a mirror. Sarah counted to three as she walked away from him, then... «hey, what do you mean you said you already knew I was no good?!», he pretended to be angry and set after her, « come here and I'll show you who's no good!»
She gave a scream of laughter and ran. They passed some muggles who looked at them, probably wondering what was going on.
They came to a winecellar, and went down. They shared a couple of bottles and headed back to grimmauld place. Even though Sarah had her own room, they both climbed into Sirius' bed. It felt nice sleeping next to eachother. Sirius' skin against hers did not give her the same burning sensation as Snapes felt. He just felt warm and comforting. They were not so much a man and a woman sleeping half naked next to eachother, they were just one and the same. She could never have shared a bed like this with any other man, just Sirius.
The following week they spent playing tourists, first in the wizard world, then in muggle London.
ooo
ooo
Back at Hogwarts, no one had ever seen Snape in a worse mood. It wasnt his usual bad temper, where he snapped and growled at everyone. He didnt snap or growl. He didnt say anything, and if asked something he would only grunt a yes or a no. They hardly saw him, he showed up for meals and barely even that.
« I saw him sitting down by the lake earlier today», Hagrid said when someone had wondered where he was. It was dinnertime, and he was not there, he had not showed up for lunch either.
« down by the lake? What was he doing there?»
« he wasnt doing anything, just sitting on a bench, staring at nothing», Hagrid replied.
« well, its obvious that he is not exactly happy that Sarah left with Sirius, isnt it? Did I not say that she would choose him. They are the perfect couple. Perfect!», Hooch said to the table.
A few heads nodded in agreement, but Hagrid said, « there is nothing like that going on between her and Sirius».
« then why would they all of a sudden run off together like that?», Sprout asked him. « What if they have eloped! Oh wouldnt that be romantic!», Pomfrey exclaimed, and the two women set off in their usual talks about weddings and babies. It seemed they didnt really care who got married as long as someone did, and soon.
ooo
Snape was missing Sarah like crazy. He could hardly breathe. The castle was so empty without her, without a head popping in on him down in the dungeons asking if he wanted company. She had only been gone a week, but it seemed like an eternity had passed since he last smelled her jasmine scented hair. He couldnt concentrate on anything.
He still had quite a few potions to make for Pomfreys stocks but without her, sitting on the table next to the cauldron, asking questions and taking notes. It just wasnt the same. He couldnt focus without her, all he could think about was the fact that she was not there. That he had lost her.
He even found himself sometimes staring out his underwater window for hours, one hand on the glass, hoping somehow she would come swimming up to it. He had to force himself not to constantly think about what she was doing. Alone with Sirius, in that house, but at night the images of them haunted him. He saw them everywhere, in every bedroom, on the floor, in the stairs. He couldnt even close his eyes without seeing a sickening image of them.
What bothered him most though was the fact that she had stood before him in his room, pleading with him to give her a single reason not to go. « give me a reason, any reason to stay here with you and I wont go» If he had just said it then, she would be here with him now.
ooo
Lupin came back to Hogwarts that night, and the next morning he was surprised to see that neither of his friends were there. In their haste to leave, they had forgotten to tell him about their plans.
« where are Sarah and Sirius?» He asked Snape first, but Snape didnt answer, just finished his coffee and left. Lupin turned his question to Dumbledore.
« the two of them found Hogwarts a bit boring without you, and decided to leave for London. I got an owl from them yesterday and it now seems that London was not sufficently fun and they have gone to Japan», Dumbledore told him. « Japan?! What are they doing there?» Lupin asked him.
« they neglected to mention that, but they'll be back here in a week and I'm sure they'll have lots to tell then».
« and whats up with him?», Lupin gestured towards where Snape had been sitting between them. « oh I dont think it's too hard to guess why he has such a dark cloud over his head. It's been there ever since she left».
ooo
ooo
Sarah and Sirius were having dinner at the resturant where she had worked while living in London. She was telling him stories about her life in Tokyo, and how much she had loved it there.
« Let's go then!» he said. « what, you mean to Tokyo?» she asked. « yes, I'll arrange for a portkey tomorrow, and you can show me all the places you've been talking about» he said and gave a wink at the waitress who was eyeing him from the table next to them. « you think about it while I go to the restroom» he said and left the table.
As soon as he was out of sight the waitress came and sat down on his chair. Sarah knew her from when she had worked here. She was a few years older than Sarah, but they had always gotten along well. « Sarah, that one is absolutely gorgeous! where ever did you find him? Is it serious?», she whispered across the table.
« Jennifer, he is just a friend, or more a collegue actually», Sarah said, not finding the need to whisper. « where do you work now?», Jennifer asked. « I work at a school, as the m-... as an assistent to the social studies professor» This wasnt too much of a lie, Sarah figured.
« Is that him?», Jennifer asked eagerly. « Oh no, he is..», Sarah didnt quite know how to translate 'he substitutes the werewolf that teaches defence against the dark arts while waiting for the astronomy professor to retire', so she just said, « he teaches self defence».
«ooh that does explain his perfect body, did you see those buns? I would love to just..». Jennifer made a biting motion in the air. Sarah had too laugh, in four years Jennifer had not changed a bit. « hello ladies», Sirius said. « Sirius, meet Jennifer. We used to work here together, and we were just catching up» Sarah said.
Jennifer got up to give Sirius his chair back and Sirius took her hand and kissed it, saying, « Pleasure to meet you Jennifer». This made Jennifer red as a tomato and she could not stop grinning.
« why dont I bring you two dessert on the house», she said and went to the kitchens. « your charm does come in handy sometimes», Sarah raised her wineglass at him. « well its nice to know this old dog, still has it in him», Sirius raised his to her.
ooo
Jennifer returned from the kitchen with two gigantic slices of chocolategateau, drenched in warm chocolatesauce. « the house speciality on the house, for my old friend, and for my new», she winked at Sirius whilst setting the plate in front of him. She then gave Sarahs shoulder a not so discrete squeeze as she passed her. « Charm her anymore and she'll kidnap you back to her place», Sarah teased in a whisper.
The chocolategateau was as rich and fantastic as Sarah remembered. Even Sirius was nodding with every bite, saying « Oh yeah, this has got to be the best thing I have ever tasted!»
Sarah didnt tell him that she used work here as the assistent to the pastry chef, and that the cake was infact one of her recipes. « I know how to make it, if you should ever crave it again», she merely said.
« So have you thought about it?», he said in between bites of cake. « tokyo? Well I say lets go for it!», she exclaimed then ate her last piece of cake.
ooo
ooo
The staff was just sitting down to have breakfast, when a huge owl flew in through the window and dropped a letter in Lupins lap. It took a piece of fruit in its beak and took off again.
«It's from Sarah and Sirius!», he announced.
« well read it!». This was Pomfrey, who was very eager to get some new gossip.
Lupin opened the envelope, it was a picture of the two of them. He turned it around and read the letter on the back of it.
« Dearest Remus. Sorry we ran off without telling you, but you know us. We got restless. We are going to a dragon colony in Wakkanai on friday, since Sarah has never seen live dragons. After that we are headed for Edinborough, to get something. Thats a surprise, so dont ask, and we'll be back at old hoggy Hogwarts on sunday. Sarah sends all her love to everyone and says to tell you that this is the best damn honeymoon ever! I must say I agree. All our love, mr and mrs Black.»
Snape was sitting opposite Lupin and as he read the letter outloud, Snape could see the photo of Sarah and Sirius. She had her hands full of bags and parcels and he was hugging her so hard that he lifted her off the ground. They were beaming at eachother, and looked completely happy.
It broke his heart.
It was Pomfrey who pulled him out of his thoughts when she exclaimed, « are you telling me they got MARRIED!?».
Most around the table reacted the same way. « I dont know» Lupin said, « it says that they're on honeymoon, but that is probably a joke! Sarah dosent love Sirius, she...» Lupins eyes met Snapes.« well she dosent love Sirius! I mean of course they love eachother, but they are not IN love!», but no one around the table seemed to be listening to him. « I cant believe they got married!» Sprout said full of excitement. « Did I not tell you that they were the perfect couple? Made for eachother, they are. Absolutely made for eachother», Hooch exclaimed, happy that she had been right all along.
Snape did not say a word. He kept looking at the picture still in Lupins hands. Finally he quietly got up and left the staff room. The picture was passed around and between comments of how happy and radiant they looked, no one noticed that Snape had left.
ooo
ooo
The next morning Sirius had arranged for a portkey to take them to Japan that night. Sarah had once again packed her bag and was waiting for him in the kitchen.
On the table there was a tattered old newspaper, this was their portkey. Sarah was greatly amused by this. « I've never traveled by newspaper before», she told Sirius as he came into the kitchen. He too had packed a small rucksack, which without a doubt contained much more than it seemed to fit.
The newpaper startet glowing, « well time to go», Sirius said. He took her hand and both of them put their other hand on the newspaper. Something hooked her navle and she was dragged into a spin. Spinning and spinning until suddenly the hook let go, and she felt herself falling. Her hand slipped out of Sirius' and she landed on the hard ground with a loud thump! « are you alright?»
Sirius was standing over her. He was used to portkeys, and had soared gracefully to the ground.
She was lying on her back, in what seemed like a mudpuddle, because she felt something moist making its way through her jeans. « ouch!» she said, not moving an inch. « why didnt you warn me there would be a rough landing ahead?» she held out her hand, he took it and pulled her up.
Then he started laughing, «your bums all covered in cowdung!». She looked at the spot she had landed, right on top of a steaming pile dung. « great! Now I'm covered in fresh shit!» She gave a sigh of frustration. « not to worry, your knight in shining armour is here!» Sirius said and aimed a powerful cleaning charm at her bakside.
They walked along a small courtyside road, until they came upon a young girl. Judging by her clothes, the portkey- agent had arranged for them to convinently land in wizarding Japan.
To Sirius' amazement and amusement, Sarah stopped the girl, and started speaking japanese. Sirius just stood there for a while watching the two witches rambling on in, what was to his ears, rapid jibber-jabber.
Finally Sarah turned to him to explain. « Obviously, we are not in Tokyo, but in a wizarding village not too far away. She is going to take us to a ryokan, and we can use that as headquarters and journey on from there.» she then turned to the witch said someting and gave her a slight bow. « you too», she said through clenched teeth to Sirius, who mimicked Sarah by putting his palms together and bowing his head.
The girl led them into the town, and to a traditional style inn. The girl said goodbye and skipped off down the street, while Sarah and Sirius went in.
ooo
Again Sarah took control and went straight to the man standing in the reception. Again Sirus watched as the two engaged in rapid conversation.
The receptionist looked from Sirius to Sarah and said something to her. Sarah turned to look at Sirius and winked at him, before turning back to the receptionist and nodding. She said something which made him break into a smile and congratulate Sirius.
As he didnt understand what had been said, and why he was being congratulated, he simply smiled and thanked the man.
The receptionist called for a woman and sent her off to prepare a room for them. It didnt take long before she came back and escorted them to the room.
Sirius noticed that before going in, Sarah took her shoes off, again he followed her lead.
After a few more bows and courtesy phrases, they were finally alone. « I can see why you love it here», he said examining the sliding paper doors and windows, the tatami mat on the floor, the low table, which had a steaming tea pot and two cups waiting for them.
The sight of the teapot and cups, reminded her of the night Snape came to get her. She shook the thought out of her head, «I will NOT miss him!»
They sat down on the custions to have tea and plan a bit further. The reseptionist had given them a map of Japan, but it was no ordinary map, it showed Japan yes, but instead of railwaystations, and busstops. It had marked out pure wizaring areas and towns, and places where it was safe to apparate and disapparate unnoticed in the muggle areas, and if you wanted a closer view of an area, you just needed to read the name, and it would zoom in.
« why did he congratulate me?», Sirius suddenly remembered to ask. Sarah smirked at him.
« well... he asked if we were a couple, and I might have lead him to believe that we were on our honeymoon...».
«why?», he asked in a laugh. Sarah shrugged her shoulders. « I dont know, it just fell out of me...».
Sirius made a solemn face, and conjured up two rings with his wand. « if we are pretending to be married, we need rings dont we? I'm not going to have them talk behind my back and say that I'm too cheap to buy you a ring».
She laughed. « Sirius I really dont think..», but he shooshed her and with an air of deep formality he said, « Sarah Kessler, will you take this ring and be my fake wife for as long as we are in Japan?»
She went along and held out her hand saying, « I do».
He made a big deal of putting the ring on her finger, and it actually fit perfectly. It was now her turn, she made her voice very solemn and said, « Sirius Black, will you take this ring and stand by me as my fake husband, through apparations and disapparation until a portkey does us part?»
He supressed a laugh and said, « Indeed I do!»
She put the ring on his finger and said, « I now announce us fake husband and pretend wife. You may not kiss your bride!»
They laughed for a while before Sirius said, « Now? Where do we go first mrs. Black?».
ooo
The first day Sarah took him around the old neighbourhood where she had lived in. She dragged him along to all the old spots she used to hang out in. He was all too eager to come along. They stopped to have lunch in a small ramen-shop not too far from where Sarahs old apartment was. The old man behind the counter remembered Sarah, she had after all had lunch there nearly every day for over a year. He handed them two huge bowls of beef ramen. «Do as I do» Sarah whispered and she put her palms together and said « itadakimasu!» before devoting herself utterly and somewhat noisly to her bowl.
After lunch they went to an all wizarding area of tokyo to do some shopping. « ...and we need something for Remus. Oh no! Did you tell Remus we were leaving Hogwarts?». Sirius shook his head. « I didnt either, he is coming back today, expecting to see us bored out of our wits without him. If we had told him, he could have come and joined us!», Sarah said.
Sirius put his arms around her, « I guess, but isnt it nice being just us?». She gave him a smile and wiggled out of his hold. « I guess...», she said while examining a kimono robe.
She was still looking around in the kimono-shop. There were hundreds of different colors and patterns to choose from. « you know.. I didnt much like you at first..» she said to Sirius, who had disappeared behind a mountain of fabric. « how come?», his voice said from behind the stacks of silk. « I thought you were a bit arrogant and well, cocky... not to be trusted, specially not after the broom disaster », she said earnestly.
Sirius came over to her, «what changed your mind about me?».
« well, after we spent that first day alone together. You really talked to me, and I saw the real you. The person behind the act. And him, well.. him I love», she looked up at Sirius. « you know I love you too» he said to her. She nodded, and he kissed her forehead.
Sarah went off to pay for what had to be half the shop, when she saw a beautiful kimono on display in a glasscase behind the counter. The emerald green silk, shone like real emeralds. It had silver trimmings on the edge of the sleeves and the bottom hem, and there were black and silver dragons embroidered all over it. It cost twice as much as anything else in the shop.
« thats handwoven silk, and real silverthread. It's all done completely by hand, No magic», the shopekeeper explained to her. « it's quite uniqe. I only made the one before I decided it just took too much time without magic, and the price becomes too high».
Sarah nodded still in awe. It was expensive. It cost more than she made in a month, and if she included all the other robes she wanted, it would be nearly twice that.
« dont you want something a little less... Slytherin..?». Sirius had come to the counter now, and was making a face at her.
« it is not Slytherin just because it's green and silver», she muttered while mentally calculating wether she could afford it or not. « It's got snakes on it!», Sirius protested. « how about that red one?». He pointed to a very pretty set displayed in the shop window.
« it's dragons, and I am not wearing red. Who am I? Santa Clause?», she said, rather annoyed at the childish protest, and almost just to spite him, she cast all budgets to the wind.
« I'll take it!», she said in japanese to the shopkeeper who was now grinning from ear to ear.
« I still say it's too Slytherin...», Sirius muttered and pouted like a spoiled little child who did get his way for once. Sarah rolled her eyes at him. This part of Sirius she could live without and never miss.
« You know what Sirius, that is the single most beautiful item of clothing I have ever seen. If wearing it makes me a Slytherin, then call me Salazar!», she snapped, handed half the contents in her moneybag to the shopkeeper, took parcels and left the store. Sirius followed, looking rather sheepish.
ooo
« are we all set now? Let's go to the owlery and send the parcels to your family, and lets send a letter for Remus, so he doesnt think we've forgotten all about him».
They went to the nearest owl office. On the way the passed a man who was taking instant pictures of people for a small fee.
« Lets take one», Sirius said and pulled her with him. « oh im not so sure, I dont really like being photographed» she protested, but it was no use. Just as the flash went off Sirius hugged her and lifted her off the ground. She laughed out loud, «let me down!».
They looked at the picture, and there frozen in time was Sirius hugging her off the ground and putting her back down. Both of them were laughing and the Sirius in the photo picked Sarah up again and this time he twirled her around. « thats a very good picture, let's send it to Remus», Sirius said.
They spent two more days in tokyo, where Sirius was introduced to sushi, sake and karaoke. After that they set off to explore the wizarding part of Japan, the hot springs and they even had a picnic on top of mount Fuji. Getting up there was of course no problem, as they simply apparated.
That week in Japan was probably the best time the both of them had had in years.

Chapter twelve: What was it that changed Sarahs mind about Sirius? Why did he go from someone she could barely stand to someone she trusted with her deepest secret? And what exactly is this secret? Stay tuned.
