Twelve years later…

Barty Fletcher made his way quickly through the halls of Azkaban prison. He opened the door to the guard’s main office and jumped a little when his friend and coworker let out a yelp of surprise. “Blimey Barty!” Martin cried out. “Scare me why don’t ya!”

“Sorry Marty,” Barty apologized. “I just came in here to…” he started to wrack his brain for a plausible reason as to why he was in the guard’s main office when he was supposed to be on patrol.

“You’re scared too huh?” Marty said exactly what he had been thinking.

“Of course I’m scared! Those dementors are acting all funny. Something’s got them spooked. I don’t wanna run into something that would spook a dementor!”

The other guard nodded in agreement, and they both barricaded themselves in the office for the remainder of the night. With all the human guards hiding, the dark figure of a large black panther moved about the prison freely.

The cat made its way purposefully to the upper floors where the high security prisoners were kept. It casually sauntered down to the end of a long hallway and stopped right in front of the cell containing Sirius Black. Black was mumbling something about Hogwarts in his sleep.

The panther turned into a man with long raven hair and sparkling blue eyes. He spit a key out of his mouth and unlocked the cell. He moved over to Sirius and gently shook him awake. “Who’s..?” Sirius started to shout, but found a hand covering his mouth.

He looked up to see who the hand belonged to and his eyes widened in shock and surprise. “Do you promise to be quiet if I remove my hand?” James asked in a quiet whisper.

Sirius nodded, and James stepped back and took his hand away. “What are you doing here?” Sirius asked, trying to contain his excitement. “I thought Dumbledore was sending you into hiding.”

“He did…. But I decided that I’m done waiting for him to decide that it’s the right time.”

“So, he doesn’t know you’re here?”

James shook his head. “I think if he had any idea he’d be dragging me back kicking and screaming. Anyway, I’ve come to get you out of here.”

“You believe I’m innocent?” Sirius looked up at James like Christmas had come early.

James just shrugged. “I can believe that you killed Peter, and I can’t honestly say I feel bad that he’s dead. But I don’t think you killed thirteen innocent people.”

“Are you angry with me?” Sirius asked the next most important question on his mind.

James didn’t answer. “Let’s just get you out of here, and we can talk about how stupid you were later.”

James transformed himself back into a black panther, and Sirius followed suit turning into a black dog. The pair trotted right out like they owned the place. The guards would discover Sirius’ absence an hour later.

The two men entered the dilapidated dark cabin deep in the dark forest. “I can’t believe this is still here,” Sirius said as James went to light a fire in the fireplace. Flickering dim light filled the room. “How old is this place anyway?”

James really didn’t seem to be in a talking mood. Without saying a word he set out two cups and put water on to boil. “I really am sorry.” Sirius spoke softly.

“I know,” James let out a deep sigh. “Dumbledore explained everything to me in the hospital.”

“So, you’re not mad at me?”

“Not anymore. I never could stay mad at you for long.”

Sirius got up to try and kiss James, but his friend pushed him back. “I may not feel the urge to murder you anymore, but that doesn’t mean I feel like being affectionate.”

Sirius nodded and sat back down. After being apart for so long, Sirius wanted nothing more than to hold his friend and lover close, but he would give James the time he needed. “James, can I ask you a question?”

“Ask all the questions you like,” James said as he got up to pour the tea.

“Why have you been gone so long? I mean, you’re here now under your own power. Why didn’t you come back earlier?”

James just shrugged. “I don’t really know. Dumbledore kept telling me it wasn’t time yet, and I trusted him. Every time I asked about Harry he said Harry was doing just fine. He was better off without me. I never thought I’d end up being gone this long.”

Sirius laughed. “How could he be better off with those muggles?”

“What!” James shouted, looking like fire was about to shoot out of his nose. “What muggles?”

“You didn’t know? Dumbledore sent Harry to live with his muggle relatives. Where did you think he was?”

“I thought he was with the Weasleys,” James answered, his tone dripping with rage.

“I’m sorry,” was all Sirius could say. He knew better than to provoke his friend when he had that look. “I… I’ll just go take a bath.” He stood and headed off to the bathroom to leave James to cool off.

A/N: Yes, I know that in the book James was a stag. I just decided to change it to better suit the story.
