It was half an year after the second breaking in Gringotts. Voldemort has raised at the end of the school year, Dumbledore has gotten together the members of the Order of the Phoenix and Sirius, seeing that he can't do a lot, has suggested to him to use Grimmauld place 12. Naturally the house needed a bit you mean a lot don't interrupt the story Sirius Okay. of cleaning, Molly has generously gave him a hand, they had rescued Harry a week before and here they were.

Well, maybe it's worth to mention the strange things happening in the house. By strange you mean stranger than normal Sirius, you are the only one who notice the things, let it be! They weren't bad things. Usually it was just the furniture returning to the previous state after they cleaned the room, some of the newer photo albums, that Sirius hasn't seen not wanting to be opened and little things like that. Nothing of this things had to do something with dark magic, which make them stranger, but sometimes Sirius woke up to find the shelfs in the library sorted in a way that.... Never mind. Sirius was sure that Kreature is behind all that, not only because he was the only living thing except them there, but because he once or twice found the house-elf talking to himself. Sirius decided to don't stop him if it doesn't get out of control.

Today it was a normal day, Sirius has already fallen in his familiar routine when Harry came running to him.

"What's going on? Some of my father's clothes tried to strangle Ron again?"

"No, it's the tapestry."

"The tapestry? Did Molly finally found a way to blast it from the wall?"

"No, but something happened. You wouldn't believe me unless you see it for yourself! Come on!"

And Sirius was pulled by his godson in front of the tapestry. His eyes immediately landed on himself (more like his burned portrait) and his long dead brother's half-hidden portrait, who now according to the tapestry was alive. He was genuinely confused. It took him a few seconds to come up with explanation.

"Well, probably the twins had tried something on it."

After a short argument they couldn't come out with better explanation and they left it. Sirius was going to ask the twins about it at dinner, but he forgot so what happened on the next day shocked everyone.

The furniture in each room was turned upside down and it was hanging on the ceiling. Remus told Molly that one time Sirius has done that, so they assumed it was him and went to wake him up. Sirius who slept in wasn't practically pleasant with that, especially after he told them it wasn't him, but they didn't believe him. Well, nobody of them told him that his hair was in strange shade of turquoise, so it didn't take a lot of time for him to get down. He yelled at Fred and George to change it back, but apparently they weren't the one messing with him, nor was Remus. It took them the whole morning to put everything on it's place.

In the afternoon come out one practically book about werewolves, written by Leo Blanc, a French author who had (according to Remus) amazing books about defense against the dark arts. Remus was ecstatic to read his book about werewolves because...

Sirius was surprised to learn that this wizard didn't hated werewolves and was absolutely against the new laws, thanks which for Remus was nearly impossible to find a job (Dolores Umbrige is a bitch if you ask him). This really raised Remus' confidence and Hermione's mood.

The two of them spent the next days talking about Leo's books and biography (fangirling if you ask the twins, Ron, Harry and Sirius). Kingsley came the next day and heard them talking. He joined for few hours and mention how he had actually met Leo at some exchanging project in Paris. He had tried to describe Leo, but what he remembered hadn't been enough for Remus and Hermione. Ron and Harry had told Sirius how they think Leo is the new Hermione obsession. Sirius himself didn't have time about this Leo Blanc. He was trying to put some things together. He often was found holding pictures of his brother and blank pieces of paper scribbling his thoughts while he was talking to himself.
