Chapter Thirty-six;
[December 31st, 1998]
Severus awoke, scooting over in the bed to be closer to Sirius and frowned when he felt the other side of the bed empty. He cracked an eye open and saw that Sirius' clothes from the ground were gone as well. He reached his arm out and felt that Sirius' side of the bed was cold – which meant he left a while ago. He sighed and pushed himself out of bed, stretching and deciding he'll see Sirius' later on in the day.
He trotted to the bathroom to get ready for the day, starting up a shower and climbing inside, turning the water on hot and frowning when it came out cold. 'What the hell?' he thought to himself as he reached out and grabbed his wand from the counter, pointing it at the water and heating it up. When he finished his shower, he stepped out and dried himself off, spotting a note on the sink. He lifted the note up and saw it was in Sirius' handwriting.
[Enjoy your shower? I charmed it to be cold – where do you learn charms, Severus? I'll see you there. ~SB]
"What the hell?" Severus asked aloud, folding the note and putting on his clothes. When he was finished, he placed the note in his robe pocket and ambled out of his chambers and towards Filius's classroom to see what the hell Sirius was up too. When he arrived, he found the classroom completely empty besides a box of opened chocolates with a note atop it. Severus glared as he saw from across the room on the note Sirius' scribble.
He huffed and walked over towards the box, lifting the note up.
[Excellent! Now – these candies I purchased at Honeydukes, but I've added on a little surprised. ~SB]
Severus, annoyed now, tossed the note on the ground and grabbed a piece of chocolate, sniffing it and immediately noticing amortentia. "What is he playing at?" he asked, tossing the chocolate back into the box and heading towards his potions classroom – when he arrived, he saw his chair he sat in at his desk was transfigured into an armchair. He pulled his wand out and transfigured it back, picking the note up from his desk.
[I see you found your chair! Now how did I do that? ~SB]
"Bloody. Mutt." Severus said in a harsh tone, tossing the paper down on the floor and once again walking out to see what Sirius was up too.
For the next three hours, Severus followed the little notes. He had been led to several places in Hogwarts such as: the Transfiguration Classroom, the Staff room, the Quidditch Pitch, and the Astronomy Tower amongst other places. Now here he was in the greenhouses, looking around for the next note - the only thing keeping him going was purely wanting to know why Sirius was doing this. He found the note by some empty pots.
[I'm a bit surprised you haven't given up and went back to your room to wait for me and yell. Anyway, this is the last note. This one is a clue as where I am; figure the clue out – find out where I am!
Clue;
You cannot enter me through the door, for my door will not open. Nor will my windows as a matter of fact. You are known to have a horrible history with me – but that will be fixed soon. Poke the knot and you'll gain entrance.
See you there, Sev! ~SB]
Severus' eye twitched in annoyance. "Damn that mutt!" he growled, incendioing the parchment before turning on his heel and leaving the greenhouse to head to where Sirius was at.
