It makes you wonder

Chapter 5 Year 3 part 1 Sirius found

Text
"We need to plan for next year. I don't want to do another possession, that might be too dangerous. However, we have to keep Dumbles on this toes and not let him get in control." Harry stated.

Tom, Severus, and Lucius were sitting in Lucius' office with Harry thinking about what to do when Draco came in with the Daily Prophet. "I think you might be interested in this." He showed them the special edition of the Daily Prophet with the picture of Sirius Black on it.

"Talk about timing." He paused at their looks. "Really guys? We can use this. We will have Lucius find out what Fudge is going to do to protect the school. If it's not with our plans I am sure Lucius can whisper into his ear what we want."

"He escaped two days ago. Why is now just making the papers?" Lucius was wondering how this was going to work to their advantage.

"Two days ago?" Harry asked looking off into space for a few minutes.

"What are you planning?" Tom saw Harry tilt his head in that way that meant he had an idea.

"We will look for Sirius. I know from my dad's notes he is an Animagus. He shouldn't be too hard to find. We know he didn't betray my family, as Peter did that. I want to find Peter and make him pay for that. Dad mentioned how they worked the secret keeper. They knew that Sirius would be the realistic choice, so they selected Peter instead."

"We can work on that. Peter isn't a very bright person. He was is the one who gave me their location." Tom confirming what Harry said. "He is a coward and did it to save his own skin. I didn't even have to threaten him. He came to me and told me."

"Does your father mention what type Animagus he is?" Severus couldn't believe it. Sirius was innocent. He still loathed the man but no one should be in Azkaban if they didn't deserve it. He wasn't about to forgive him that easily. He kept his anger down regarding Peter. He would make him pay for getting Lily killed.

"Sirius is a dog, a Grim to be exact, Peter is a rat." Harry stated and then his face lit up. "Moron Weasley pet. It's a rat. He said it was that rule-loving one's pet first. They have had the rat for twelve years. I have never heard of a rat living that long. Have you?"

All of them shook their head. "We can check one of the magical animal books." Draco thought for a second. "From all the reading I have done, I never heard of it. Five years maybe but not longer than that." Lucius had gotten Draco interested in reading about animals because Draco had loved dragons and wanted to know more about them.

"We know where Peter is. Now, we have to find Sirius, which should be easy. We can make sure the protections of Hogwarts is what we want. I think we have a plan, gentlemen." Harry smiled.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Draco responded.

Harry just gave him an evil grin causing the adults to groan. "Harry, you do realize there is more to a plan than that basic outline." Tom informed him which caused Harry's smile to get even bigger.

"He has a plan, trust me on this." Severus stated. "I will bet you he even knows where to look for Sirius."

Harry's grinned. "Yep", popping the p.

"Care to share?" Lucius asked.

"He will be around my relatives' house, trying to find me there." Harry wiggled his nose, making his glasses rise up and down. "We kidnap him and explain everything, including the money Lupin is getting. I know he will join us."

"He hates me, I hate him." Severus reminded Harry.

"I am aware of that. However, he is very loyal to my father. He is my Godfather and from what I read, he is very loyal to me. Why not use it? If he doesn't agree we can always just use a good old memory charm on him and either let him go or have him returned to Azkaban. Based on what I know, I would say it's a 90% chance he will join us."
