Sirius returns to the shack where he left Julie: 'Buckbeak, I'm going to leave you in the yard. I'm going to get someone. Ok?' He leaves and opens the door.

'Sirius?'

'It's me. Are you any better?' He asks. When he left, she had caught a cold. And didn't have the energy to travel. But they would have to go.

She comes in wearing a pair of jeans and a sweater she found. Her face is red, and her eyes are swollen: 'Better. What happened?'

He explains to her what happened and how Harry and his friends saved him. They now know what really happened.

'But Pettigrew got away again?'

'Yes, and that's why we have to leave.' He says.

'You know I cannot travel far, but there is an address where you can bring me, if possible. I can make arrangements from there.'

'If you're not afraid to fly.'


They arrive at a small farm; Sirius stands beside Buckbeak: 'So this is?'

'A safe house. It's where I grew up. She takes a key: 'I have something inside. Wait a minute.' She has a backpack when she returns: 'There is some money inside. I found some food that doesn't really go off. And I found this owl.' She gives them: 'Maybe you can write Harry a letter?' The owl is fluffy and very small.

'Thank you. Are you sure you're going to be ok?'

'Yes, I'll contact someone. Now get to safety.' She wants to ask about her daughter, Lucy, but she doesn't even know if she kept the same name or if Dumbledore changed when she gave her to him years ago before she got arrested.

When Sirius is gone, she finds something she used a lot when she was younger. A two-way mirror. During the war, she gave the other one to Narcissa. She can only hope they'll see it when it's being used. As far as she knows, they are still loyal.
