As the first Quidditch match of the season Hufflepuff Vs Gryffindor drew closer a very muddy Harry was found trooping back to the Gryffindor changing rooms after a particularly gruelling practice. Wood was really putting them through their paces this year. He was the last in the changing room and was sitting staring at the opposite wall lost in his thoughts.

A movement from the bench beside him caught his eye and he looked down too see the Daily Prophet with a picture of a man who looked utterly insane. The headline read:

Sirius Black spotted in Duff Town.

Sirius Black, notorious mass murder was imprisoned in the wizard prison Azkaban thirteen years ago for the murder of one grief stricken Peter Pettigrew and thirteen muggles. Nobody but Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew know the reason as to why. He was spotted in Duff Town by Mrs Emmaline Pringle yesterday evening "I was taking my dog for a walk when I noticed a very familiar person lurking between two alleys. I called out to get help but he scarpered" With this in mind how long will it be before Sirius Black finds his way into our neighbourhood?

Sighing Harry put the article back onto the bench and stood up straightening his robes as he did so. Upon leaving the changing rooms a cold chill enveloped Harry, drawing his robes tighter around himself he picked up his pace until he came into the gloriously warm castle. Sighing with relief Harry leaned against the doors momentarily before walking back to the common room.

Upon entering the common room he found almost the whole of Gryffindor house whispering excitedly. He searched over the heads of nervous first years and found Ron and Hermione conversing in low whispers in a far corner of the room. As he made his way over Hermione looked up at him and smiled weakly while Ron nodded at him.

"Hey guys what's going on?" asked Harry curiously.

"Sirius black has been spotted Harry" said Ron looking at his friend with concern.

"Oh yeah I know" said Harry indifferently shrugging. Ron and Hermione exchanged a nervous glance before Ron cleared his throat.

"Urm Harry there's something you should know. You see the thing is. Black he's...he's after you" Ron finished ears turning red at the tips. Harry's heart sank and horror filled him up making it hard to breathe. they knew

"How'd you know that?" asked Harry suspiciously.

"I overheard Mum and Dad talking about it. I'm sorry mate" said Ron sympathetically. Harry looked at Hermione who was looking at him in concern.

"And you guys decided only now to tell me?" said Harry angrily. "You just thought you'd hide from me that another lunatic is out to kill me? Thanks guys" said Harry sarcastically.

Before either of them could say anything Harry had jumped up and stormed out of the portrait hole, not bothering to look back when his friends called to him.

Angry tears escaped from Harry's eyes as he stormed through the corridors not paying attention to where he was. All of a sudden he bumped into something hard and fell back onto the floor with a thump. Shaking Harry looked up and saw that he'd bumped into Professor Lupin.

"Professor Lupin I'm sorry" Gasped Harry, trying to suppress a sob. Lupin seeing this helped Harry to his feet.

"What's the matter Harry?" asked Lupin in concern. Harry just shrugged and gave a non committal grunt.

"In here Harry" Professor Lupin gestured for Harry to enter the room to their left. Harry entered and was surprised to see he had ended up outside Professor Lupin's office when he had stormed off. Closing the door behind him Professor Lupin gestured for Harry to sit down and when he did so he sat on the chair next to Harry.

"Why were you crying Harry?" said Professor Lupin putting a hand on Harry's knees and looking into his eyes.

Deciding he wanted to tell the truth. What he'd heard about Sirius black, how Ron and Hermione hadn't told him and how hurt he felt. Professor Lupin got off the chair and crouched in front of Harry who was now looking determinedly at his lap. Gently tipping his chin Lupin turned Harry's head so he was looking straight into the Professors eyes.

"I'm sorry Harry I should have been more honest with you. You see there's more. Sirius Black was your parents secret keeper and gave up their whereabouts to Voldemort" Harry's eyes blazed and he jumped up angrily pushing Lupins hand away as he did so.

"YOU KNEW?" shouted Harry shaking with sobs and rage.

"Harry please just listen to me"

But Harry ran across the room, pulled the door open so hard he stumbled and ran out of the room. Lupin got up and ran after him desperate to explain. He saw Harry run towards a flight of stairs. He called after him but Harry didn't reply, just kept running.

It happened as if in slow motion. At the top of the stairs Harry tripped over a loose flag stone and went tumbling down the stairs where he hit his head hard on the floor and was knocked out. Remus didn't think, he just ran down the stairs and dropped to his knees beside his favourite student. He needed to get him to the hospital wing and fast.

This chapter kind of sucks in my opinion but what do you guys think? Feedback would be appreciated.
