The Chronicles of Savanna Black

Chapter 7- The Sirius Black Scare

"Hey, Hermione!" I greeted and then looked for Harry but couldn't see him anywhere, Ron looked at me but said nothing. "Where's Harry?" I asked.

"Oh, he's not allowed to go." Hermione answered and I nodded.

"Why are you allowed to go?" Ron asked me as George grabbed my scarf, which flew.

"I had my permission form signed." I answered and Ron began to say something but Hermione stirred him away.

"Come on, Ron, this way. Sav, see you later!" Hermione said.

"He's really mental." George said as he placed my scarf around my neck. I smiled at him.

"I think he's just concerned that the two of you hang around me, when my father's a murderer."

"Nonsense, Sav. Fred and I may cross the line most of the time.." George began.

"Try all the time, George, will you?" I interrupted and he chuckled.

"Fine all the time, but we know you're a good person. We know that just because someone's bad in the family doesn't mean everyone is too. I mean look at us, Bill, Charlie and Percy are all headboys. If everyone in the family is the same.." he began and I laughed out loud, trying to imagine Fred and George as headboys.

"I know, none of you will be here with me and none of you will get into trouble with me." I said.

"I still can't believe you two didn't wake me." Fred said for the nth time as we walked towards Hogsmeade.

"I intended to come alone." I said.

"And I had just grabbed some water but was too lazy to come right back so I decided to sleep on the couch." George said and I saw Fred studying his twin.

"Aren't you creeped out when you do that?" I asked him.

"Do what?" George asked.

"I meant Fred. He's been looking at you like.." I began.

"Nothing." Fred dismissed.

'Don't be mad at us, Fred." I said.

"I'm not. Hey! There's Zonko's!" Fred said and he and George dragged me inside.

We bought some stink pellets, Filibuster's Firecrackers and everything we could get our hands on. Fred and George were busy talking to the guy behind the counter when I spotted the same big black dog that I remembered I once saw in the Leaky Cauldron.

"Hey, you two don't mind if I go out and grab something to eat?" I asked.

"Or you can wait for us." Fred said.

"Fine." I said but as soon as the two went back to talking to the guy, I walked out of Zonko's and headed to where the dog was sitting.

I looked back and saw Fred and George laughing with the guy behind the counter inside Zonko's and spotted some of my classmates and other students from Hogwarts. I sat on a bench and a few minutes later, the big black dog faced me.

"Hello, you.. what are you doing here?" I asked and patted its head. The dog's tail wagged.

"I'm sorry I don' thave anything to give you, but I might give you food later, if we do see each other." I said and continued to pat the dog's head. It looked at me and studied me for awhile. If ever that was a normal dog behavior.

"There you are, Sav!" Fred called out.

"You really want McGonagall to have our butts, Sav. Come on, Sav. Keep close to us or I might have to tie..." George began but stopped and looked at me as though he had just seen me.
