Chapter Nineteen: Dead Man Escaping
Harry was still sitting on the floor next to Hermione when Draco burst through the door.
“Thank Merlin you two are still in here!” Draco said relieved.
Harry stared at him confused at what Draco was talking about. “Why, are we supposed to be somewhere else?” he asked puzzled by Draco’s behavior.
Draco shook his head and looked pointedly at Hermione and then back at Harry, “Remus is back, and he wasn’t alone.” After he said that he knew by the look in Harry’s eyes he had got the meaning of the statement.
They had to keep Hermione as far away from Weasley as they could, at least until Remus and Athena could come and talk to her.
“Oh, your Grandfather said that he expects you to come and talk to him sometime tonight before he leaves.” Draco smiled and chuckled at the reaction he got from Hermione. Confusion and then something sparked in her eyes and she realized whom it was that Draco was talking about.
Harry grinned at Hermione’s reaction as well. He then turned back to Draco. “Do you think that you could summon a house elf and get something sent up here to eat?”
Draco laughed at Harry’s curious glance at Hermione when she picked up the small crystal bell that was on her bedside table and rang it. Seconds later one of the Malfoy house elves popped in.
“What can Hatty do for Sirs and Miss?” the little elf asked politely.
Hermione smiled at the small creature and smacked Harry upside his head to get his attention. “What do you want?”
Harry smiled at Hermione’s antics, “Just some tea, for me please.”
Draco nodded his head for the same and Hermione turned back to the elf, “Tea for three please.”
The elf bowed low to the floor, “Right away Miss.” And with a snap of its fingers a tea tray appeared with a setting for three. After the elf set the tray on the coffee table it disappeared with a small pop.
Harry grinned, “Ah I see how it is, you have finally found out how useful house elf’s can be with out setting them free.” He said teasingly earning him a fierce glare from Hermione and a suppressed chuckle from Draco.

Remus ran a tired hand over his face. He smiled when he felt Athena wrap her arms around him from behind.
“I still can’t believe that you are back.” He started his voice catching. “I kept trying to tell myself that I would find you both, in my heart I had that hope but my mind kept telling me how impossible it all was. And now you’re here, your both here. And I will be damned if I ever lose you two ever again.”
Athena smiled and wiped the tears hastily away, her memories had been overwhelming at first but she was slowly coming to terms with what had happened. Her life as a muggle was starting to seem more and more like a dream and her life, as Catherine Granger was over. She was Athena Deionira Malfoy-Lupin, and she would be damned if she let Dumbledore’s manipulations ruin her life now.
“I am here to stay, now and forever Remus.” She said softly in his ear. “I think deep in my heart I never stopped loving you.”

Winky made sure that the man was following her when she left the dungeon using one of the House Elf passages leading to Hogsmeade.
“Sir we is needing to be invisible until Winky can get us to Malfoy Manor.” She said as they walked down the hidden passage.
“Ok, I don’t have a wand to make us invisible though and I don’t have an invisibility cloak either so I don’t know how we are going to do it.” Sirius said getting rather desperate, he was so close to being free and he was terrified that Dumbledore would get a hold of him again.
He had already let Harry down and he would be damned if he did it again. He wasn’t sure how he was going to convince them that he had nothing to do with all that Dumbledore had done. He didn’t know of any of the horrid things that Dumbledore and James had done until he had been thrown into the dungeon at Hogwarts. He had been horrified to find out what James had done to Lily and Snape. He may not like the bastard but he would tolerate the man for Harry’s sake.
He didn’t want to believe what the old man had said they had done to Remus. It killed him to even think of what kind of pain he was going through. He remembered back in school after he had found out that Remus was a werewolf they had talked about all of the laws and regulations that were put on Werewolves. And the one thing that had hurt him more than everything else was the fact that it was forbidden for a werewolf to marry and have a family.
When Dumbledore had told him that he had taken Remus’s wife and newborn daughter from him so that he could continue making him take the more hazardous missions Sirius had broke down and sobbed for his best friend’s loss.
The House Elf once again brought him out of his memories when they reached the end of the passage.
Winky looked at the man she was helping, he looked so lost and alone. She was glad that she had found him, now she could make him happy again. “Winky is making you invisible now and I is taking you to Malfoy Manor”
Sirius could only nod, he had no idea what kind of magic house elves had and he wasn’t going to be questioning this one anytime soon.
The little house elf snapped her fingers twice and in the span of two seconds he had become invisible and had been magically transported to the kitchen of what he assumed was Malfoy Manor. He looked in shock at the little elf with only one thought running through his head “Damn that little bugger has a hell of a lot of magic.”
Winky smiled at the shocked man, “Winky is going to tell Master Malfoy why you is here.” And with another pop the little elf was gone.
Sirius not knowing what else to do sat down at the table and put his hands in his head wondering what in the world was going to happen next. His thoughts took him to how he had gotten here to this point in time. It had been over two years but it seemed like it had only happened yesterday.
*** Flashback***
The sound of the ongoing battle around him was drowned out by the voice in the back of his head.
“Don’t fight, you are not needed anymore.” The voice whispered lightly and he could feel himself wanting to agree with the voice, it was right he didn’t want to fight. He had been so distracted by the voice that he hadn’t seen the spell coming at him until it was too late. The last thing that he remembered seeing before he fell was the look of horror on frozen Harry’s face.
When he woke he found himself back in a cell not all that unlike the one that he had spent twelve years of his life in. He was doomed to spend the rest of him life trapped in a small cell. He just wondered what had happened to Harry.
He hoped that he and Remus were ok. He didn’t know what he would do if something ever happened to one of them. They were the only people that he had left. Sirius could only hope that Dumbledore would find out where Voldemort’s minions had taken him and send a rescue party for him.
All his hope and illusions had been shattered when sometime later the door had opened and Albus Dumbledore had walked in and proceeded to tell him that he was to be his bargaining chip in his war against Voldemort.
When Sirius had asked if Harry and Remus had made it the old man sneered at him.
“They are no longer your concern, and if I have it my way they won’t be in my way much longer.”
Sirius had screamed and threatened the old man with every dark curse and torture method that he knew of but nothing had helped him get out of being imprisoned by Dumbledore.
In the end Dumbledore had just laughed at him and proceeded to remind him that he was the only one that knew that there where dungeons in Hogwarts and to the wizarding world Sirius Black was dead.
***End Flashback***
Sirius had spent his days remembering every good memory he had of Remus and Harry. He kept up his hope that some day someone would find him. And his hope had not gone unfounded and how he was sitting in the Malfoy kitchen, but stranger things had happened to him before. It had been two days before when one of those strange things had occurred.
Right before Dumbledore’s weekly visits he began to have these strange flashes of things that he knew never happened. After about an hour of these memories he began to realize what had been done to him. His last memory to return was that of James coming into his apartment and telling him what he and Dumbledore had done and why they had done it, everything that they had done to Lily, Severus and Remus. Sirius had been devastated when he had learned of all the manipulations that had gone on under his very nose.
While he had been distracted James had taken the opportunity and had oblivated him.
And for some reason almost seventeen years later the memory charm had broke bringing a flood of memories into Sirius’s mind. Since then he had been wallowing in the grief that he had failed his friends once again.
It had been not long after that Sirius had heard the door open and the man behind ruining his life along with many others had walked in.
Sirius was startled out of his memories by the kitchen door opening.
Draco Malfoy walked into the kitchen in search of oranges for Hermione but instead he saw a dead man sitting at the kitchen table.
“Holy Fucking Shit!” Draco stuttered out. “You’re supposed to be Dead!”

“Do you think Dumbledore knows that he is gone yet?” Remus asked Severus as they stood looking down at the still unconscious form of Ron Weasley.
Severus couldn’t tear his hateful gaze from the boy lying in the cell in front of him. For the first time in almost sixteen years he wanted to unleash all of his anger and hate onto this worthless piece of filth and wipe him off the face of the planet. He knew that Remus was feeling the same and it had amazed him that Remus had managed to bring the boy in with out killing him on first site.
“I guarantee that he knows and he probably knows that we have him.” Severus said and then turned back to the door. “We need to let Lucius and Tom know to expect a swift response from Dumbledore and the Order.”
Remus glanced up and smiled and then grimaced. “We need to get Draco, Harry and Hermione out of here before that happens so that Dumbledore can’t do anything to them.”
“I don’t think that is going to be possible. Once he realizes that Harry is no longer under his control Dumbledore will want him dead along with the rest of us.” Severus said, realizing for the first time that they would not be able to go back to Hogwarts until after Dumbledore was dealt with.
Remus nodded coming to the same conclusion, “I would make sure that you sent an elf to gather up your personal belongings from your quarters at the school. Merlin knows what would happen to them if you waited until later to get them.”
Severus smiled grimly knowing that Remus was right. He knew that once he told Tom of their decision to stay there would be few Slytherin students returning after the holidays. It was simply not safe for them to go back. Their best bet would be to get to the safe house, which ironically was the Dark Lord’s home.
