Sirius POV

Megan had been well prepared for the trip we were making. As well as packing enough food to last us she had also been smart enough to bring plenty of Wolfsbane potions which turned out to be essential. We arrived at Hogsmead about halfway through November so she had already undergone two transformations.

As night fell I hid behind a bush in the forest out of Megan's sight and performed my transformation back into a human. Without looking, Megan handed me my clothing that she had pulled from her bag and I dressed myself. When I came out from behind the bush I flexed my fingers and allowed myself momentarily to get used to my human from, I had been a dog for so long that it felt slightly strange being human again. I took my wand from Megan's outstretched hand and smiled.

"So how do we get into the Shrieking Shack?" I asked as we neared the abandoned building. "I hear that all of the entrances and boarded up aside from the Whomping Willow entrance." Megan nodded.

"They are but I happen to know a way in that is only blocked weakly and can easily be penetrated." She led me around to side of the building that overlooked the forbidden forest and pointed at a boarded up window. "This was a quick fix-up job done back when we were still at school." She said with a distant look in her eyes. "We just have to remove the boards and we can climb in, shouldn't be too hard." A single tear escaped and I got the feeling she was remembering something unpleasant.

"What caused the window to break?" I asked her as I looked back up at it.

"Do you remember in our sixth year," she began. "When Remus and I left the school a bit late and I got out of the Shrieking Shack during the night." I nodded as the memory returned to me. "That was the window I broke." She wiped the tear away and new ones began to fall. "It was just before I ran away." She began picking her nails and I smiled when I remembered she her doing the same thing before I left for Azkaban.

"But you came back." I said. "Don't let the past trouble you." She smiled then.

"Bit ironic that you should say that isn't it?" She said. I looked at her questioningly. "I mean, that is what we are doing now isn't it? By coming to get revenge on Peter we are dwelling on the past instead of looking to the future."

"But this is different." I said with sudden anger. "This is putting right what should have happened twelve years ago."

"Maybe." She muttered.

"Look if you don't want to do this then that is fine but I have to." I said sharply.

"I have to do this too." She responded after a moment. "I just wonder about the morality of it."

"That man betrayed all of us." I snarled as I took a step closer to her. "He is the reason the Potter's are dead and he is the reason why I was rotting in an Azkaban cell for twelve whole years. Do you think he has any right to any form of a life?" Megan shook my head and I instantly calmed down. "Alright then. Let's go." She nodded silently and we set to work removing the boards from the window.

Megan POV

As we worked I thought about how Sirius' mood had suddenly changed just now. His eyes had looked both livid and wild. Maybe the Dementors had affected him more than he had led me to believe.

One the boards were removed I entered first. It had been a long time since I had been in this room. After the night when I broke out of the room I had decided to change to a different room because this one held the memory that made me leave, A decision I still live in regret of. The room looked exactly as I remembered; shattered glass from the window still littered the floor mixed with the shredded remains of my school uniform. (Remus and I had seen no reason the clear it all up because as we were the only ones that would ever see it.)

"Well this is a mess." Remarked Sirius as he pulled himself through the window.

"What exactly where you expecting?" I asked, "This is where I did my transformations for a while, you can't really had thought all of the furniture would be in one piece and the floor clear of scratch marks." Sirius smiled slightly which told me that is exactly what he thought. "You know, I think those fleas are getting to your brain." I laughed and he nudged me in the side.

"We have to continue Megan. Just to get to the castle at least." I shook my head.

"Sirius, it is almost morning, students will be emerging from their dormitories any time soon." He opened his mouth to argue. "If you get caught now then you will be sent straight back to Azkaban." I said sharply. He shuddered at the thought. "Somehow I don't think that will be very helpful or pleasant."

His hands closed into fists. "Ok, we will wait until tomorrow night." I smiled sympathetically at him just as an owl flew through the now open window and landed next to me. Sirius gave me a questioning look.

"It's from Remus." I said simply as I opened my bag to retrieve something to pay the owl with. I then took the letter and opened it. It read, in a handwriting that I loved so much:

Dearest Megan,

Sorry about not writing sooner but I have been so busy teaching and preparing lessons for my classes that I have had hardly a single moment to myself. I guess you could say I broke my promise.

Aside from that, it may interest you to know that one of the students in my third year class is Harry, Lily and James' son. He is so much like James both in appearance and attitude, but has the eyes of Lily. You should know that he is doing very well with school, and has some great friends. One of them called Hermione Granger; she is quite possibly one of the smartest thirteen year old witches I have ever met. She has the potential to be smarter than you. I also see Harry frequently with another boy. He is the youngest Weasley boy called Ron who is also quite smart most of the time. I think it is good to see that Harry has grown up well.

I really am missing you Megan and I will find time to write to you in the next month.

Love Remus x

I smiled down at the letter as I finished reading it. Sirius who had been reading over my shoulder swore quietly to himself.

"What?" I asked, setting down the letter and turning to him.

"It says here that Harry is good friends with this Weasley boy." He said. I looked at him, confused. "You have read the papers, they all think I am after Harry, that means it will be harder for us to get to Pettigrew who happens to be Harry's best friends rat."

"Oh." I muttered. "Yeh that could be a problem. I guess we will just cross that bridge when we come to it." I shrugged my shoulders and took a piece of parchment, a quill and some ink from my bag. Sirius looked like he might explode with anger at my relaxed tone but his sense of reason took over and he relaxed.

"Do you mind if I have some parchment and writing materials?" He asked to my surprise.

"I suppose so." I said, as I got some more parchment and another quill from my bag. "What do you need it for?"

"I need to get my godson a present don't I." He said and started to write.

"It is only November." I pointed out.

"I know but I want to do it before I forget or get caught and sent back to Azkaban." He said in a tone I thought was way to calm but I shrugged my shoulders again and let him get on with it. I wasn't going to get Harry a present because I thought it better for him to not know of my existence at all if the ministry wouldn't let him live with me. It would only make things harder and more complicated for him.

Instead of thinking more on the subject I began to write a letter back to Remus. To sum up, it basically stated that I was also missing him and although being slightly disappointed that he had taken so long to write, I understood why and forgave him. I also commented on how glad I was the Harry was doing so well but also how much I envied Remus for being the one who got to meet Harry first.

Once I had finished writing I signed the letter with my name and a few kisses before I gave it to the owl to deliver. Sirius had finished writing his at a similar time and whistled out the window to call a random owl to send his letter.

We watched them fly away and when we could see them no more, we decided it was best to get some sleep so we would be ready to find Pettigrew tomorrow night.

Ok guys, I hope you are all enjoying the sequel so far. I know the updates aren't very regular but I am so ridiculously busy at the moment preparing for my A-Levels and stuff. I think from now on I will aim to update around once a week, maybe twice if I have time but it is unlikely.

Sorry again. I wish I had more time to write...

Please review! :) x
