╰┈➤✧.* IN WHICH
Sirius Black thinks about the Cave he's hiding in

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

"James Potter you are going to get us killed" Remus hissed from behind the rock he was using as a cover. The black haired boy took it in stride.

"if you would rather face Rosemerta and that weird guy we angered by running over his farms. be my guest, and walk out of here" James retorted, turning to face Remus.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "remind me again who's idea it was to do something so stupid?" he asked, leaning against the tree he was hiding beside, absentmindedly scratching his name onto the bark with a pebble.

"YOURS" the other three boys chorused, before suddenly realizing their mistake and hiding a little lower.

"I KNOW YOU'RE THERE" called the gruff voice of the man chasing them. Sirius tried to remember what his name was. 

"Oi Padfoot!" Peter called from behind Remus. "climb up that tree and check for someplace we can go"

Sirius frowned, but began climbing anyway. why couldn't my animagus have been something more convenient. he thought to himself. like a monkey. as soon as he was high enough to see, he paused, craning his neck to find a source of hiding. he grinned when his silver eyes caught sight of something that would fit perfectly. he began crawling back down.

"What did you find?" James asked him.

"Hiding place" he responded. "there's a cave a little bit away from here, we can make it till there"

"Lead the way then Sirius" Remus said.

"You're in Hogsmeade now. you're also a wanted criminal" Sirius muttered under his breath. "dumbass" he added for good measure.

He was crouched against an old withering tree. "stupid stupid stupid" 

He looked for a place to hide. mostly he just wanted to sleep. he had come running right from the tropical beauties of planet Earth into miserable England because some idiot wanted to kill his godson.

Deciding that there was no place he could go, except possibly dig a hole and spend the night in there, he stood up. his fingers miraculously brushed a familiar series of letters against the tree. he looked down and saw his name 'Sirius' staring back at him in the messy scrawl that had been his handwriting.

he could have danced with joy as the memories came flooding back to him. the cave. the cave could be his hiding place, no soul knew of it except The Marauders, out of which one was dead, the other hiding for the time being, himself and the nasty traitor he hoped had crawled into a hellhole to die. And the girls? They were all dead, insane or had their memories wiped.

'Lead the way then Sirius' was a faint echo in his mind. Quietly, he transformed into Padfoot and began his journey toward the cave, with the memory flowing back in pieces.

The boys had chosen not to use their Animagi to get around. they were in human form, shuffling against Hogsmeade Hill making their way to the cave. 

"Padfoot where the hell is it?" James softly demanded. 

"A little further Prongsie what's got your knickers in a twist"

"date with Lily, I suppose" Remus teased. 

"Fuck off Lupin, it isn't a date" James scowled, turning a scarlet shade. "Its just Heads Duties"
