Alright let's try and get third yr done and dusted as soon as possible coz am sure that you are getting pissed at me for dragging it out for so long!!! I know I would be!! Lol! Alright here we go……what will happen with Sirius? Will he even remember? Let's go! Let's go! Lets GOOOO:)

At 8:30 at night the only civilians around Hogsmeade are those who are in the Broomsticks or those who have just being flung into a pile of bins as is the case with Sirius. Ten minutes after the incident he woke up to a pounding headache and not even realising how he got or why he was lying on the street. He sat up a little and massaged his forehead quickly as he looked around his surroundings. Initially dazed but slowly the memory of his confrontation with Peter came flooding back to him. He groaned momentarily as he latched onto the wall with one hand and aided himself up with an erect bin on his left. He staggered into the wall once again massaging his head as he saw people emerging from the pub. The first two were middle aged men who glanced over as though Sirius was some homeless drunk but quickly carried on their way when they saw him stare maliciously in their direction. After re-gaining his balance, Sirius began to walk towards the pub when Hagrid burst out there in a frenzy. Upon seeing him Sirius called out to him.

"Hagrid…..hey Hagrid!" He immediately stopped on being addressed. He turned around and saw Sirius standing there. Immediately he greeted him with a smile before saying…..

"Alrigh Sirius……Wha brings you here this time of nigh? I hope that Sharina hasn't thrown ya out!" He said half laughing. Sirius shook his head as he smiled a little and said…..

"No Hagrid…..no fear of that mate! No I've eh…..I've just finished work….."

"Wha…….at 8:30?" He asked consulting his watch before saying……"Blimey Sirius you're dedicated aren't ya?"

"Well Hagrid…..that's what being manager does to ya!" They both laughed a little before Hagrid looked at Sirius concernedly as he asked……

"Are you alrigh Sirius? You seem a little edgy…..as though something has happened….."

"What….don't be ridiculous Hagrid! No I am alright mate but cheers for your concern!"

"Alrigh……if you are sure……" Sirius nodded fervently as Hagrid said…..

"Righ well I must be off now. You take care of yourself now Sirius! Oh and by the way…..Remus and young Tonks are inside if ya fancied some company."

Sirius face brightened up as he said…..

"Are they now? Cheers Hagrid that's great mate! Thanks for telling me. Ill see ya round pal!"

"Aye that you will Sirius….."Hagrid replied in confusion as he stared at Sirius before he entered the pub. Once Sirius was inside Hagrid left himself in the direction of Hogwarts.

Sirius gave the pub a quick scan before locating Remus and Tonks over in the corner sitting next to a tinted window. He approached them quickly as he said…..

"Alright what's happening guys?" He asked amiably as Remus and Tonks looked up and smiled at him.

"Wotcher Sirius?! Are you going to stand there all night or shall I get you a drink?" Tonks asked.

"Ummm……could ya get us a large fire whiskey please darling?" Sirius asked still standing at the table as Remus stared at him anxiously.

"Ya….sure no problem Sirius. Take a seat next to me and Ill be right back. Do you want anything Remus?"

"No Tonks I'm grand thanks." He replied smiling at her.

"Okay Ill be right back." She headed to the bar as Sirius sat down and leaned forward to Remus saying…

"Houston, we have a problem….."

"Ya you are turning into an alcho!"

"What are you on about Moony?"

"What is going on Sirius? You know how strong a single fire whiskey is not to mention a large!"

"Well if you would be so kind as to let me explain……"

"Explain what?" Remus asked irritably.

"Explain why I need it….."

"Oh well go on then Sirius! Why do you need a large fire whiskey?"

"Because my nerves are shot to bits after that rat blasted me half way across the village!"

"What rat Sirius?"

"How many rats do we know here Remus? No scratch that how many rats do we know with wands and that have a vendetta against me in particular?"

Remus scanned the pub for any trace of eve's droppers but there were none so he whispered….

"You ran into Peter?"

"Oh yes I did me ole mate! The slimy bastard was waiting for me across from Zonkos! We had a little chat and I gave him a friendly warning so he decided to return the favour….."

Remus massaged his lower face anxiously as he asked…..

"He cursed you because you warned him off Harry?"

"Bingo Remus me ole mate! That rat likes to fight dirty but if he wants rough then we will give him plenty! He's staying in the shrieking shack by the way…."

"He is? Well that doesn't surprise me but why did he tell you?"

"What does it matter why he told me….."

"Peter is rich in cunning as he is in stupidity Sirius! My guess is that he intentionally told you in the hope that Harry would find out and bingo……he will have what he wants….."

"Oh leave it out Remus….."

"Sirius I am being serious here mate! Peter would not tell you something like that for the good of his health. Either it's a trap and I reckon it is…….or else…."

"Or else what? Remus what are you on now?"

"Come on we have to get home now…."

"But Remus……"

"Now Sirius……" He stated firmly as he got up.

"Oh hey where are you two going? I just got the drinks….."

"Not now Tonks we have to get home…..it's an emergency!"

"What is going on Remus?" She asked puzzled.

"Ill explain when we get there now come on you two! Harry's life may depend on it…..."

Well……what did you think? Personally I reckon that it's better than the last one but you are the readers so yall can decide! Lol! Talk 2 ya:)
