The quintet were in the great hall, all they could hear was Malfoy talking about the wound to Pansy Parkinson.
"Does it hurt terribly, Draco?" Parkinson asked while Wednesday and Y/N shared a book, they were both reading through it together.
"It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself lucky. According to Madam Pomfrey, another minute or two, and I, uh, could've lost my arm. I couldn't possibly do any homework for weeks." Malfoy said, Y/N heard it and groaned.
"Listen to the idiot." Y/N said to the rest of the quintet.
"He's really laying it on thick isn't he." Ron remarked as Y/N nodded.
"He's lying about losing the arm, anyone with a braincell could tell you that much." Y/N said plainly. "I bet even Crabbe could tell you that-- No that's too much of a stretch. Umm, no, it's lost me."
"At least Hagrid didn't get fired."
"Yeah, but I heard Draco's father is furious. We haven't heard the end of this." Wednesday stated solemnly.
"He's been sighted! He's been sighted!" Seamus yelled as he ran in with a brand new copy of the papers.
"Who!" Ron asked as Y/N turned to look at him with a 'Who do you think?!' look on his face.
"Bigfoot. Who do you think?!" Y/N joked as he rushed over to Seamus who let him through and he looked at the paper.
"Dufftown?! That's not far from here." Hermione remarked as Y/N, who was speedreading the entire article, turned to look at Wednesday before they both mouthed the word 'Dufftown' at one another.
"Y-You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?" Neville asked as Y/N patted him on the shoulder.
"With dementors at every entrance?" A boy said dismissively.
"Dementors! He's already slipped past them once, hasn't he? Who's to say he won't do it again?" Seamus stated as Y/N turned to him.
"Maybe dial it back a bit, try and calm everyone down, panic makes it easier for him, you know?" Y/N muttered to Seamus who nodded.
"That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands." Said the same Gryffindor boy who had given the ominous reading in Divination.
Y/N and Wednesday were in a frenzy as they gathered their school bags.
"Where are you two going?"
"To look into something, would you mind telling Professor Lupin that we'll be late."
"Y/N?!" Hermione called out as Y/N turned and looked at her. "Where exactly are you going?"
"Dufftown to look into the case of a gigantic hound!" Y/N said as he and Wednesday rushed off to Professor McGonagall's office.
"Ah, Mr Holmes, Miss Addams. I don't recall having a lesson with you today, should I take this is a social visit?"
"Professor, the Mayor of Dufftown asked for our help concerning a case just before the term started, would it be possible for us to visit Dufftown today, it's an emergency." Y/N said as McGonagall looked at them both.
"I read the Daily Prophet as well you know?"
"I know you do, so if I was going after Sirius Black then you know I wouldn't have been so stupid as to ask you for permission." Y/N said as McGonagall looked at the boy.
"Very well, go to the Headmaster's office, Professor Dumbledore might allow you to use his Floo chute to get to Dufftown.
"Thank you." Y/N said as he and Wednesday left in a brisk walk that turned into them both running.
"What your theory?"
"Sirius Black is our hound." Y/N said as he looked at Wednesday. "Think about it; Black escapes Azkaban, shortly after which, the mayor of Dufftown hires us to investigate a supposed hound, then not long after, Sirius Black is sighted in Dufftown. It can't be a coincidence. He's obviously trying to get to Hogwarts but he's no idiot, he's not going to just walk in through the front door."
As they arrived at Dumbledore's office, Y/N walked in and saw Dumbledore.
"I assume you're here to ask if you can investigate Dufftown correct?"
"Yes sir-"
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that. Your Brother has given direct orders to me to not allow you to look into Sirius Black-"
"Professor, you didn't "allow" me to look into the Chamber of Secrets last year, yet I still managed to piece together Toms plan, I managed to help Harry uncover it and I managed to fight off Riddle." Y/N said as Dumbledore nodded.
"If it was my decision, I would allow you to investigate, but Michael has told me that he's instructed his men to lock you and anyone who assists you if you investigate, in Azkaban." Dumbledore said as Y/N sighed.
"Bloody brother." Y/N groaned to himself as he thought for a moment.
"However, that does not mean that should he somehow manage to infiltrate the school grounds, that I will stop you from investigating. If Black makes it into Hogwarts, then you will be free to investigate." Dumbledore said with a smile as Y/N nodded.
"Fine." Y/N sulked as Dumbledore accepted his answer.
"Now, I believe you have a lesson with Professor Lupin?"
"Yes sir." Y/N said as Dumbledore nodded.
"Very well, off you go." Dumbledore said as Y/N and Wednesday left reluctantly, with Y/N hatching a plan.
"We're going to Dufftown aren't we?" Wednesday asked as she walked to lesson with Y/N. "Any ideas how we're meant to get there without being sent to Azkaban?"
"Yes, I've got a plan and it's so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a fox." Y/N said proudly as he and Wednesday arrived outside the Defence Against the Dark Arts class room. "I'll tell you later."
They walked into the class where they received a nod from Lupin, they stood next to one another among the crowd of students as the lesson began...
