The morning after Halloween, I walked into the kitchen to find an owl sitting on the perch, asleep.

"How long have you been here?" I asked it, grabbing the letter from its leg.

It flew out the window, and I shook my head as I unrolled the parchment.

~Dear Padfoot and Moony,

I'm in the TriWizard Tournament. I didn't enter, I swear. I didn't even want to be in this stupid thing! Why does this always happen to me?

I'll be expecting your Howler in the morning.

-Flowerlet~

I read the letter through twice before throwing it on the table and running upstairs.

"Ooh, that-that-ooh!" I muttered under my breath. "Remus! Get your lazy butt up! We have to go to Hogwarts NOW!"

"What?" He asked. "Why?"

"You remember that promise good ol' Dumbledore made us?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yeah...what about it?"

"SARAH is in the freaking TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!" I yelled.

"What?" Remus repeated darkly.

"You heard me," I said, and he jumped to his feet.

"Let's go."

Moments later, we stood in the Shrieking Shack.

"Shall we?"

"We shall."

We both headed towards the secret tunnel, and in no time we were outside the castle.

We went up the steps and to the Great Hall.

Moments later, Harry and one of Sarah's friends who's name I couldn't remember walked in.

Harry looked shocked, and gasped in surprise,

"Sirius! Remus! What're you here for?" He called, running towards us.

"We're here to talk to Dumbledore," Remus said as I looked around.

"Where's Sarah?" I asked, not seeing her.

"She's in the Hospital Wing. Pomfrey says she drained herself of energy and stressed herself into unconsciousness," Harry explained, and Remus grabbed my arm before I could run off.

"She'll be fine," he said. "Right now, though, we have a surprise meeting with Dumbledore to get to."

I laughed. "Oh, yeah. We can tell him about this too."

Remus shook his head slowly and in mock sadness. "Your stupidity never fails to amuse me Padfoot." At that point, Fred and George entered the nearly empty Hall and heard him.

"Padfoot? As in the Padfoot?" Asked Fred.

I nodded, and George turned to Remus.

"So you're..?"

"Moony, yes. And James was Prongs, and the rat was Wormtail," Remus told them.

Harry shook his head. "I can't believe you told them that. You realize how many owls you'll be getting a day now?" He asked us, and my grin grew.

"I'm always happy to help a fellow prankster."

Harry shook my head again. "You have fun with that," he told us, and as we left the Hall I could hear Fred and George started talking excitedly.

"I can't believe you told them that either," Remus said as we went to Dumbledore's office.

"Don't worry, I'll answer all the fan mail," I told him, and he turned around with wide eyes.

"NO!" he cried. "I will, okay?"

"Okay, okay! Yeesh!" I said, holding up my hands in defeat as we reached the headmaster's office.

After a couple of minutes of guessing candies, we got the door open and went in.

Remus knocked, but I pushed past him and barged in before he could say a word.

"YOU SWORE!" I yelled, getting angry again. "YOU PROMISED THEY'D BE SAFE!"

"Sirius, calm down, m'boy," he said, waving his hands at the chairs in front of him. "Why don't you sit down?"

"SIT DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! MY GODDAUGHTER'S LIFE IS IN DANGER, AND YOU WANT ME TO SIT AND BE CALM?!" I screamed, and several portraits winced. My ancestor, Phineus, however, looked proud.

"There's that Black pride and sense of family," he said snidely. "Though sadly from a family-"

"Shut it," I growled, cutting him off.

"Sirius," said Remus, "maybe you should sit and hear him out before you go all rampage-y on him."

I huffed then sat. "Fine."

Dumbledore then told us about the magical binding contract the Goblet made and how he tried to get her out of it.

"Bull crap," I said. "I bet you did nothing. I bet the Heads of the other schools tried harder than you by a thousand-fold to get her out of it."

"That's not true, Sirius. You know that," Dumbledore said calmly.

"I'm not so sure I believe you either, Albus," Remus told him.

"Come now, Remus," Dumbledore said. "Think rationally!"

"I am thinking quite rationally, Albus. There are several holes in your story. The biggest one being how she got in this Tournament."

"I don't know," he told us, still calmly, but his eyes lacked their sparkle.

"Only a very powerful wizard could have tricked that Goblet," Remus said. "And while Sarah is powerful, there's no way she'd willingly take part in this."

"I don't know," he said again.

"Yeah?" I said, getting frustrated once more. "While you're just sitting here doing nothing and 'not knowing', Sarah's in the HOSPITAL WING because she stressed herself over this SO MUCH, she KNOCKED herself OUT!"

At that, I stormed out and sped down to the Hospital Wing in time to see Sarah wake up.

A/N-hey guys! I'm not quite sure if this counts as a cliff-hanger...

Anyways, how'd you like Sirius's POV? That makes two chapters in a row now that aren't in Sarah's.

Give me some feedback here, please, because I need to know for future reference if you guys like Sirius's POV stuff.

Love you!

P.S-I know I've spent three chapters on the same two-day time period now, but I feel it's important for you as a reader to understand everyone's point of view on the subject. And this wasn't actually my original way of putting Sarah in the Tournament. If you'd like, once this series is done with I can post several one-shots of different snippets of different books-such as the part about everyone going to the orphanage.

It's up to you guys, just let me know.
