Reyna and Caleb adored Hogsmeade, it allowed them to get away from all their problems. Caleb got to escape Cedric and Reyna could escape the incessant ginger pest that had been harassing her since that fateful Potions Class.

There were times that Reyna regretted saving George Weasley by the Whomping Willow and then in the explosion. These moments came when she would notice him around every corner, waiting for her to slip up.

But today she knew that she and Caleb could go to their smoking spot that looked over the Shrieking Shack without being bothered. The twins would spend the entire day in Zonko's joke shop which gave Reyna time to breathe.

The pair had spent hours there, missing the carriages back to Hogwarts much to Reyna's delight as the heavens had once again opened. The witch spins in the rain as Caleb laughs, joining her in doing so as they head towards their school.

A trail of water follows Reyna, who was soaked to the bone, as she walks up the stairs to the Gryffindor Tower. She was giggling to herself but her laughter ceased when she slams into George Weasley who had a deep frown on his face.

"Oh," Reyna simply states. "Why is there a queue?"

"Sirius Black broke in and cut up the Fat Lady's portrait," George replies before it registers who he's speaking to and the smell that was filling his nose. "Are you fucking high?"

George grabs Reyna's face in his hand, staring at her eyes which had a telltale redness to them.

"No,"

"There's a killer on the loose Lupin and you're getting high?"

"Well, you're stressed, I'm not," Reyna waves her hand. "Who is the real winner here?"

"Fucking hell Lupin," George groans. "Come with me"

"Are we going on an adventure?"

"Sure,"

Reyna sits in the Hogwarts Kitchens with her legs crossed like a child as she nibbles at the selection of pastries the house elves had presented her with. George leans against the wall, his eyes constantly flicking to the large clock. They had been informed to be at the Great Hall by nine thirty and they only had eighteen minutes left.

"Lupin we need to go," George states.

"Why?"

"Because Sirius Black is in the castle and is a threat to all of us,"

Reyna snorts which causes George to raise an eyebrow in surprise. The witch did not seem at all phased by the news of Sirius Black being in the castle.

"Fine, we'll get going," The witch mumbles, filling her small purse with a bag of pastries that was bigger than the bag.

"Undetectable extension charm?"

"I thought we had places to be,"

George guides Reyna into the Great Hall, leading her to a spare sleeping bag. The wizard even goes as far as to zip her into the item and she offers him a small smile before he retreats to the sleeping bag the was next to Fred.

Reyna lies awake in her sleeping bag, eyes scanning the hall as she waits for the teachers to confirm Sirius was no longer in the castle. The confirmation came when the Professors began to filter from the room and the prefects lay down in their own sleeping bags.

As soon as the coast was clear, Reyna pads through the Great Hall barefoot, pausing at every mutter or mumble before she got to the doors. The witch was wholly unaware of the eyes that were watching her every movement.

George Weasley watches as the witch disappears through the doors, the only thing he could see was a red fluffy tail swishing as it slinks into the darkness.

The half-rotted door is launched open by a seething teenager who glares at the Azkaban escapee. The man holds up his hands as Reyna slams the door, the force causing the door to completely crumble behind her.

"Look I can explain-"

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" Reyna shouts at the man.

"I saw a chance and I took it," Sirius mutters.

"Every fucker in the Wizarding World knows you're in the area," Reyna claps her hands slowly. "Congratulations Sirius, your complete lack of planning has fucked us both"

"How are you fucked in this situation?"

"People will be sniffing around," Reyna snaps. "Then they'll wonder how on earth did Sirius Black get into the castle when Dementors are stationed everywhere? They'll blame my dad first,"

"I didn't think-"

"There's your problem," Reyna snaps. "You didn't think, you just acted. You have a brain Sirius, at least use it occasionally"

"There are times where logic can't overrule the heart,"

"Well this cannot be one of those times," Reyna replies. "You can't keep pulling stunts like this Sirius, you need to bide your time"

"Why haven't you caught Pettigrew yet?"

"Because this is a tactical game," Reyna crosses her arms over her chest. "If he so much as gets a whiff of the fact that I may be onto him, he'll hightail it and never be seen again"

"You don't know what he did-"

"He's the reason my mother is dead!" Reyna snaps. "I am more than aware of who he is and what he's done but unlike you, I can control my emotions. So sort your shit out and no more slip-ups"

 So sort your shit out and no more slip-ups"
