Sorry I haven't be on lately. Had a lot of school work. BlueRose edited this one too.

CHAPTER 3
I look around the village I'm in for food. A little boy sees me and goes inside. I look around and after a while, I notice the little boy comes back with a small bowl of clean water. I go over and drink some cautiously.
"I wish I could keep you, but mum said we can't. She did say I could give you some water." He says.
Aw! This boy is just so sweet and adorable! I see Sirius in his human form. I give him a weird look before going back to drinking the water. The boy gasps and runs inside. I'm a little confused, until I remember what Peter had staged. The boy probably saw Sirius on the TV and noticed he was a wanted man. I finish drinking and run a bit away. Sirius goes into a forest and I follow him. A little away from the village I turn into my usual self.
"What was that all about?" I ask.
"What?" Sirius asks.
"Why were you walking around without being a dog? The Ministry will know where we are now!" I say, a little mad.
"I know, but I want them to try and find us. It makes things exciting." Sirius says, smiling a bit.
"Honestly, Sirius, sometimes I think you've gone mental…" I say, sighing.
Sirius laughs and I smile. I look at the bright blue sky. It's endless and so are the possibilities of what could happen to Sirius and I.
"How are you feeling?" Sirius asks.
"I'm feeling fine. Why?" I ask.
"You seem a little… Tired or is it that you had a bad night's sleep?" He asks.
"Bad dream is all. It's not something for you to worry about." I say.
Sirius nods, but he doesn't look like he completely believes me. I don't mind that though. I do seem to be acting a bit off, even for me. I really do need to shake that dream off. I don't think anything good will come out of it.
"Did you eat anything while we were in the village?" Sirius asks.
"No, all I had was a drink of water." I say.
Sirius pulls out a bit of bread and throws half to me. I smile and eat it happily. No raw critters for now! I wonder where Sirius got this bread though… He couldn't have bought it. We don't have any money on us… I don't think he steals either…
"Sirius, where did you get this bread?" I ask.
"I found it on the street. You aren't getting picky, are you?" He asks.
"After eating the food in Azkaban, I'm not picky. I'm just a bit cautious." I say.
"I can see that." Sirius says.
"Oh, really? I thought I was hiding it oh so well." I say, smiling.
"Not well enough, it seems." Sirius says, smiling back.
I stick my tongue out and Sirius laughs a bit. I honestly don't see why we have to be serious all the time. It's a lot more fun not to worry so much about all of this crap with the Ministry and just relax from it all.
I lay down after we get to a clearing. The dark green grass smells amazing, but that could just be me. I let out a happy sigh. I haven't lain down on healthy grass in a long time. It feels so refreshing and familiar. I smile and close my eyes.
"We will rest for a little bit, but we have to keep moving." Sirius says, sitting down.
"I know. The Ministry might be on our tail." I say.
"Yes and I also feel like there is something more we can gain if we find Peter." He says.
"And what would that be?" I ask.
"Maybe we can find out if your father is really dead or somehow alive." He replies.
"That isn't something I would want to know." I say.
"Maybe not you, but a lot of other people would want to." He says.
"Yes, Lord Voldemort is something everyone wants to know is alive. It is a very cheery thought." I say.
"It's better to be aware. You shouldn't walk around with your eyes closed." Sirius says.
"Yet, the blind see more than those who can actually look around the earth. Those who are deaf can hear things no one else can." I say.
Sirius sighs. I guess I am a little touchy about the whole finding out if my father is a live thing, but I just really prefer him dead. What has he ever done for me? Only bring me and my mother more misery than we disserved. Maybe I am better off knowing if he truly is a live, but I just don't want to hear those words come out of anyone's mouth.
"Sorry, just how I feel." I say, sighing.
"It's fine. I understand if you wouldn't want to know." Sirius says.
"Thank you." I say, smiling a bit.
Sirius smiles back at me. We continue walking. I wonder where Sirius is going. If we are going to Hogwarts that would be amazing. I wonder how it looks like from the inside...
"Sirius, how was the inside of Hogwarts?" I ask, curious.
"The stairs move and there are different ways getting in and out. Remus, James, Peter, and I made a map with all the different passages to get in and out." He says.
"What was the map called?" I ask.
"The Marauders Map." Sirius says.
I nod. We walk in silence for now on. I start getting hungry again, I ignore it until my stomach starts growling. I feel my cheeks turn pink and Sirius laughs.
"Looks like a certain girl is hungry." Sirius says.
"Shut up. Let's just find something to eat." I say.
Sirius smiles and we turn into our animal forms. We start hunting for food. I climb a tree looking for a bird or a squirell. I find a bird and smile. I pounce on it and get it in my tiny paws. I wait until it's dead and eat it. I smile and walk down the tree. I notice Sirius is already in his human form. He looks at me.
"You look very weird smiling as a cat." Sirius says.
I turn back into a my regular form.
"Thanks!" I say, smiling.
Sirius smiles and rolls his eyes. We continue walking.
"How was your lunch?" Sirius asks
"Good! Who knew regular birds taste so good!" I say.
"Well... That's you opinion..." Sirius says.
I giggle and start skipping a little ahead. It kind of feels good to not think about what is happening and just be a little free. I smile. I wonder what will happen if the Ministry finds out we're in the woods. Most likely put us back into Azkaban. I ignore the thought and slow down until I'm in pace with Sirius.
"Do you think it's weird that they haven't found us." I says.
"Not really. The Ministry have smart people, but they also have cowards in it." He says.
I nod. I wonder when and where they will find us. I hope they don't find us though. I just want to try and have a somewhat regular life. I look around the trees, it's awfully silent for being in a forest.
"Do you hear that?" Sirius asks.
"Yeah... It's to silent.." I say.
We both feel a chill and look at each other. It feels cold on my back. We start running away from the cold chill. I don't look back, knowing if I see a Dementor, I will freeze. Sirius is a little ahead of me. It doesn't particularly bother me. We're both just want to get away from the Dementor. I trip and look back. Bad move. I see a Dementor a little ways back and I freeze.
