Venus Black - Meeting Sirius

"Where do you suppose this goes?" Hermione spoke up once all three teenagers had dusted themselves off. Venus gripped her wand, slipping her free hand into Harry's as he began to lead them through the tunnels.

"I have a hunch. I just hope I'm wrong." He chewed on his lip, something he did when he was anxious. Venus squeezed his hand gently and he sent a small smile in his girlfriends direction.

The mud tunnels led us to a trapdoor. Venus frowned as Harry accended the ladder but herself and Hermione followed rather quickly.

"We're in the Shrieking Shack, aren't we?" The younger girl asked, glancing at her two friends. Harry nodded but his attention piqued when he heard small whimpers, coming from upstairs.

"Come on." They ran up the stairs and into a room with an open door.

"Ron!" Venus kneeled down by the boy, gently holding his leg to examine the wound. She was thankful he was okay.

"Ron. You're okay." Hermione released a breath of relief.

"The dog. Where is it?" Harry demanded. Ron's lips trembled, one hand gripping Scabbers the other pointing towards the door.

"It's a trap. He's the dog! He's an Animagus." Ron yelled frightened. Venus stood up, grabbing Harry's hand as the door swung closed. Stood behind the old tattered door frame stood Sirius Black. His hair was matted, his clothes torn and a manic look in his eyes with a smile stretched across his face. Hermione automatically stood in front of the two, her arms guarding us.

"If you want to kill Harry and Venus, you have to kill us too!" She yelped, glaring at the man. Venus felt her chest getting tighter the more her father looked at her.

"No. Only one will die tonight." Her fathers words seemed to slip easily from his mouth and Venus began to shake, holding onto Hermiones arm.

"Then it'll be you!" Harry lunged forwards and grabbed the man by his neck. Venus went into a full fledged panic mode.

"Harry!" She cried out as the teenager whipped his wand out, pointing it in the criminals face.

"Are you going to kill me, Harry?" Sirius sneered with a chuckle, knowing Harry didn't have the guts to kill him.

"Expelliarmus!" Remus was at the door. He gestured to Venus using his head and Harry scrambled over to her, shoving his head into her neck. Her hands tangled themselves in his hair and she visibly relaxed. Her guardian had his wand pointed at her father and she felt safer.

"Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within." Remus spine with a small amount of amusement in his voice. Sirius barked out a laugh.

"Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you?" Remus held a hand out to the man who gratefully took it and pulled him up into a hug. "I found him." The man whispered loudly.

"I know." Remus consoles his friend, patting his back.
