We didn't have to wait long, and we didn't even have time to get tired before the couple appeared from the common room and, looking very conspiratorial and suspicious, they made their way to the kitchen.
We followed them on their heels for about half an hour. They were going outside too, and Harry had packed a package for Sirius too. Together we went out into the street, where the sun was shining brightly, and it was quite hot, and together we moved to Hogsmeade, while the guys decidedly did not notice that they were being followed.
They wandered around the stores for a while, but after leaving one of them, they headed toward the edge of the village along the main street, passing the Dervish and Banges store. The houses around us were getting sparser and sparser, and there were no shops left at all. We kept a little distance from the boys in case, by some miracle, they might find us.
Eventually, the boys left the village and headed toward the mountain at the foot of which Hogsmeade stood. The path became narrower and narrower until, in the end, it rested against a fence with a ladder, on which a skinny black dog with a newspaper in its teeth leaned on its front paws.
Harry said something to him, and the dog sniffed, wagged his tail cheerfully, turned, and trotted through the bushes to the rocky foot of the hill. Harry and Ron crossed the fence, following him. We followed in their footsteps as well.
Sirius, in the form of a dog, led them up a hill strewn with rocks. The boys were quickly exhausted, and we had to slow down so that we didn't catch up with them inadvertently. The weather was hot, of course, but I didn't care, and apparently, Hermione didn't, either.
Our path ended in a crevasse where Sirius ran in, followed by Harry and Ron. We waited a little and went in after them. A cold, dark grotto with a hippogriff tied to a rock in the far corner. I didn't follow the events back then, but it looks like Hagrid or the guys themselves slipped that hippogriff to Black last year. Or maybe Black "stole" the animal himself. Judging by how surprised Ron and Harry were staring at the animal, who had already managed to say hello to the animal properly by bowing, they were not aware of it.
Sirius had already taken on a human appearance and was chewing on the roasted chicken Potter had given him with gusto. Black didn't look much better than last year. The same overgrown and dirty, in gray rags.
Pulling the string with a prearranged signal, I dispelled the transfiguration from it, and Hermione and I took off the hiding enchantment complex, keeping our wand at the ready. At the same time, which is funny, the girl automatically began tapping the tip of her wand on her temple, moving easily, as if in the rhythm of one dance she was leading. On the other hand, I hold the wand as a pointer, tapping my palm at the level of the abdomen, preparing at any moment to "shoot" from the hip. The main thing is to restrain myself and not beat them all. If everything goes well, it will be possible to benefit from this meeting.
"Well, well, well, who do we have here," I couldn't contain the slight sneer in my voice.
Ron and Harry jumped up sharply and drew their wands.
"You've been following us!" shouted the obvious Ron.
Sirius also jumped up and turned into a black dog, growling menacingly.
"Expelliarmus!" shouted Potter with all his might. The beam was coming at me, but I deflected it easily, swinging my wand and catching it on my shield with the tip of my wand.
The beam bounced back at Ron, who immediately lost his weapon, and Hermione sent a quick bunch of Stupefy and Incarcero at him, while I disarmed and bound Potter with an equally quick bunch.
"Calm down," I said with a smile to Sirius, who was growling at me, and sent a Somnus to the hippogriff, putting it to sleep. "We just came to see you."
I put my wand in the scabbard on my sleeve, demonstratively, and then took my bag off my shoulder and handed it to Sirius. Hermione, on the other hand, circled around with a smile a couple of times.
"Unbelievable!" playing the role she said. "That was too easy."
Sirius looked around at everyone as a dog and regained his human form.
"Ah, you. I didn't even recognize you at first," smiled Black. "What's in the bag?"
"Food supply. An invisible extension with storage charms."
"Oh, presents!" Sirius happily accepted the bag. "I love presents. But could you take the spell off the guys? And introduce the young lady?"
"If they promise not to do anything stupid. Ron, over there, is particularly rowdy. And this is my friend, Hermione Granger."
The girl sat down in a caricatured curtsy.
"They'll promise. Won't you, godson?"
Black returned to the rock he was sitting on, and the bound Harry on the floor shifted his gaze perplexedly from me to Black and nodded.
"Miona, would you please."
"Easy," Hermione canceled the Binding spells from Harry and Ron with a couple of waves of her wand, bringing the other to his senses at the same time.
"What?!" the redhead sat up sharply, starting to look around. "Oh, you!"
He tried to jump up, but I pinned him to the ground with my telekinesis. The telekinesis wasn't particularly strong without the wand, but it was enough for the still weak Ron to sit on the floor.
"Calm down, Ron. They are not our enemies," Sirius smiled at him, pulling out a large round meat pie from the bag he had just received, setting it next to him. "I think so."
Sirius examined the pie with an obvious appetite.
"Finally, a normal meal ..."
