Halloween rolls around and the students are excited to celebrate. The Weasley twins have finished their first batch of favorite flavor beans and are handing them out to willing students.

Draco and Harry decide to give it a shot. "Oh, lemon!" Harry says excitedly.

Draco tried the bean and it was sort of a fruity flavor. "Blood sausage." He says, looking at fred. "But that isn't my favorite flavor."

"The recipe still needs some tweaks." Fred replies. "Some people taste great things but not their favorite."

George nods. "Yeah but it is going well." He glances at neville. "He is helping us perfect our recipe."

Harry nods. "Seems like it's almost there."

Draco nods. "Yes, very close." He agrees.

Fred writes some notes. 'Good, but not favorite."

The students all return to their house tables where they enjoy their supper. As people finish their meals they start returning to their common rooms.

Harry, Draco, and Jade take their usual spot on the sofa and watch Jade as she practices a new non verbal spell. This time she had a jar with dirt in it and she was trying to get flowers to grow from no seed.

"Why do they have you practicing nonverbal spells anyways?" Draco asks.

"It's part of my extra classes." Jade says.

"I know you keep saying that but I want to know why? We aren't supposed to learn this stuff yet and you are a year below us."

Jade frowns. "I am sorry but I have been asked not to say."

"Sirius Black!?!" A girl yells entering the commons. "Sirius Black is in the castle?!?"

Harry looks up at the girl as she panicky explains to some friends what she had heard. "Wait what happened?" Harry asks.

"Black slashed the painting of the fat lady." The girl explains. "Tore it to shreds all because she wouldn't let him in."

"The fat lady?" Draco puzzles. "You mean the painting in front of gryffindor commons?"

The girl nods. "They are still looking for her. They don't know if she got away or not."

Harry looks at his friends then stands up. "He can't have gone far."

"Harry? What are you doing?" Draco asks as Harry makes his way to the door. "Potter?"

"I'm going to find him." Harry replies firmly.

Draco follows Harry. "No, don't go out there crazy... what is that?"

The two cast lumos as they leave the safety of the common room to brace the dark of the school at night.

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Harry taps the parchment he had pulled from his pocket.

"Potter. You can't go looking for Black. He could be trying to murder you." Draco says. He looks at the parchment. "What is this here?"

"A map." Harry says. "Fred and George gave it to me. It shows everyone in the entirety of the Hogwarts grounds. Where they are and who is with them."

"Brilliant." Draco says. "Is that headmaster?" He points to Albus up in his office pacing.

"Yes, he does that alot." Harry nods. "Pacing around his office."

"Look here." Draco says pointing again. "I know a lot of people but I have never seen this person." He watches as the feet patterns move around back and forth and in waving patterns. "This person moves quickly but seems to be panicking."
