The Azkaban Kid

Pettigrew Moving Around

I was sat in Lupins classroom, another Dementor lesson for Harry Potter. He was pretty good at the spell now, but no animal had been produced, Remus always said how good it was though.

The lessons had been going on for two months and I did have a couple of go's at it, but didn't get very far, I hate them horrible things.

I sat at Remus' desk as they spoke, ignoring them as usual, until I heard something interesting and terrifying.

"Professor?" Potter spoke. Remus acknowledged him and then he carried on. "What's the dementors kiss?"

"I am guessing your referring to the daily prophet today? Well it is a ritual performed by the dementors, they grab their victim, in this case Sirius Black-" wait, what? "Then they lift their hood, which no one ever really sees happen. They place their scabby mouth of the victims and then it sucks out their sole".

"Oh." Potter spoke. "He deserves that." He growled, and I scowled. If only they knew the truth. I was panicking inside though, I needed to speak to Sirius and soon, he didn't deserve that at all.

"I, I've got to go." I jumped up and ran out of the classroom, ignoring Remus calling after me. I needed to find Sirius.

I launched myself down the flights of stairs and across the large entrance hall, down into the dark grounds, it was already getting late.

I ran blindly across the grounds and towards the forest where I knew he would be, or I hoped he would be anyway.

It was so dark I could barely see anything. I didn't want to say his name in case someone was around, so I walked for ages until I came to a clearing.

There were loads of creepy noises in the forest, birds, centaurs, other weird animals. I noticed it was nearly a full moon as well.

I slumped down onto a rock in the clearing, it was pretty cold too. It had been ages and I didn't have a clue where this guy was.

A scary sounding growl echoed through the forest and I jumped, looking around myself. It sounded pretty far away but you never know. Then an owl hooted from a different direction.

I must have been sitting waiting for about half an hour, so I just huffed and got up, walking back the way I came. I never bothered walking further because I knew I was nearly at the edge of the grounds.

"Poppy?" A voice questioned. I span around and came face to face with the man I was looking for.

"Sirius!" I hissed. He looked a little better than usual, he must have been eating okay.

"What are doing out here?"

"I was looking for you. Have you seen any daily prophet lately?"

"Not really, only about two weeks ago."

"They have ordered the dementors to perform the kiss if they find you." Something strange passed over his eyes and I shivered too.

"Great, I can't even come near the castle now then can I? I had a plan." He growled.

"Don't worry about that, if you need to do something then do it. They aren't allowed in the grounds anyway, Professor Dumbledore made sure of that."

"True. Thank you for telling me Poppy. How's school?"

"It's the usual, there's been no hassle. My friend and I spent valentines together which was fun."

"Ooh nice." He winked. I just laughed a bit and shook my head.

"Not like that, I'm not old enough for anything like that."

"Sure." He smirked. "You better get going anyway Poppy, it's getting really late."
