Uncle Sirius looked at the children like the first time he had met me. Crazy and dirty. He wore an old worn out coat. Then again, he was always dirty when we met. He couldn't shower or change because he would get caught. The two slowly turned around and made eye contact. They looked to the ground to see paw prints in the dust lead up to him. Hermione took a step in front of Harry.

"If you want to kill Harry, you have to kill us too!" Hermione shouted protectively.

"No, only one will die tonight." Sirius stated without emotion. I could feel my heartbeat quicken, did he lie to me? Harry pushed passed Hermione and charged at Sirius.

"Than it will be you!" Harry screamed as he grabbed Sirius by the throat and began to choke him out. Sirius began to choke underneath me, I mean Harry. Harry whipped out his wand and pointed it at his throat.

"Are you going to kill me, Harry." Sirius cackled with his black teeth visible. Suddenly Professor Lupin busted into the room.

"Expelliarmus!" He casted, Harry's wand flew out of his hand and landed on the other side of the room. Lupin tilted his head to the side to gesture Harry to move. He did so.


"Well, Well, Sirius looking rather ragged aren't we? Finally the flesh reflects the madness within." Lupin laughed as if he hadn't been checking on him for the last few months.

"Well you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you?" Sirius laughed still laying on the ground. Lupin dropped his hand and helped Sirius stand up. The two hugged each other tightly, as if they had been long lost best friends.

"I found him." Sirius cried. At this point I didn't know if he meant Harry or the traitor. I didn't even know if there was a traitor now, Well besides Sirius.

"I know." Lupin sighed hugging him back.

"Let's kill him!" Sirius cheered.

"No! I trusted you! And all this time you've been his friend. He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes!" Hermione shouted pointing at Professor Lupin. I gasped, actually me not Harry. Lupin turned away from Sirius and focused on Hermione.

"How long have you known?" Lupin asked cautiously walking forwards.

"Since Professor Snape set the essay." Hermione confessed. I could tell she was nervous. I was furious, I couldn't believe I actually trusted those two. More Sirius than Lupin.

"Well, Hermione. You really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met." Lupin laughed.

"Enough Remus! Come on! Let's kill him!" Sirius yelled.

"Wait!" Remus commanded.

"I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!" Sirius shouted on the verge of tears. The two looked towards Harry.

"Very well, kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why." Lupin sighed giving up.

"I know why. You betrayed my parents. You're the reason they're dead!" Harry cried out in anger.

"No, Harry it wasn't him. Somebody did betray your parents. But it was somebody who, until quite recently, I believed to be dead!" Lupin yelled correcting Harry. Was this the important thing that would be used to help Sirius?

"Who was it then?" Harry snapped.

"Peter Pettigrew!" Sirius mocked.

"And he's in this room! Right now! Come out! Come out! Petter!" Sirius laughed. Out of the corner of Harry's eye Professor Snape ran up the stairs into the room.
