Chapter 86: Sirius Black and the Shrieking Shack! Part-2

{An Alley in London}

{10th Sep 1991}

{3rd Person POV}

Sirius looked at the man. He was a typical grunt, exactly someone he expected to take this route. He let go of the brick and, with surprising agility, grabbed hold of the wand lying on the ground. He hadn't exactly used any magic in this knockdown, so he wasn't worried someone would come here. Still, this was an apparition point, and he didn't want to stay here.

He looked at the grunt for a moment before he once again morphed into his animagus form, his tail wagging around as he swiftly dashed out of the alley. He wanted to take his clothes as well but decided against staying around. 

'I should be safe. A grunt like that would avoid auror, so there should still not be an investigation, just in case. I should avoid using apparitions from anywhere close by.' Sirius thought. He didn't go far, though. A couple of blocks made it so he wouldn't be traced as easily or at all. 

'My tracks would be gone in an hour at most, and the chance of him being able to track me without a wand is practically zero.' Sirius concluded. Now in a similar-looking dark alley, he transformed back and looked at the wand. 

Since he didn't win the wand in a magical duel, it showed some resilience to his mana when he cast Lumos. Still, after a slight delay, the tip of the wand lit up, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the wand showed some resistance, he concluded it wouldn't be too dangerous to appear with it. 

He closed his eyes and, after a moment, thought about the one place he knew he could go.

{Shrieking shack, Hogsmeade}

{10th Sep 1991}

{3rd Person POV}

"Ugh~" Sirius grunted as he collapsed on the floor. His eyes scanned the dirty surroundings as red-hot pain erupted from his left hand. He had spliced himself. The cut wasn't that deep, but considering his physique had taken a beating during his time in Azkaban. He curled into himself and looked down at the cut that connected his elbow to his wrist. 

"Fuck-" Sirius cursed, he tumbled over on his back and let out a shuddering breath. He looked at the old wooden ceiling above him. Familiar scratches adorned the old structure. They would look menacing to some, considering that they were clearly made by a werewolf, but Sirius, who had shared a dorm with him.

"Episkey~" Sirius said as he pointed his wand at his injured hand. He used the full wand movement to counteract the resistance of the wand, but even then, his wound didn't close properly. 

"Episkey~"

"Episkey~"

After two more attempts at the most basic healing charm, the wound on his hand finally closed. Sirius didn't dare try any more intrusive charms, as this one worked just fine. He slowly leaned up and panted. 

The paranoia about being hunted was gone for now, though, as he looked at the familiar basement. 4 chains were attached to a wall, even though they hadn't been used after they had been able to maintain their animagus forms. Fond memories of them frolicking in the forbidden forest during the full moon emerged in his mind, even though they were tainted by the presence of the rat.

Hot raw anger emerged as a boiling pit as he started at the claw marks. His face, a mixture of anger and resentment, glared at the remainder of a broken friendship that he himself had caused due to an unwarranted suspicion. Still, his long stint in Azkaban showed him how to control his emotions and prevent them from taking over. A calm chill overtook his thoughts as he looked at the marks with narrowed eyes.

'I need to hunt down the rat after meeting with Rigel...' Sirius thought in anger. He morphed back into Padfoot, ignoring the surge of pain that erupted from his front paw as he swiftly approached the hidden tunnel in the basement.

Anyone else might have hesitated, but someone who had breached the school's curfew thousands of times flew through the narrow tunnel, his destination clear as he needed any advantage he could get right now. 

After a while, he emerged from the secret tunnel. The whistling sounds of the Whomping Willow were a welcoming noise, and with practiced ease, Sirius placed his paw on the small knot near the base. The air froze as the tree stilled. Sirius stared at this familiar phenomenon for a moment before running through the Hogwarts grounds.

The Whomping Willow was quite far from the Hogwarts entrance. It was planted in a discreet location, especially so that Remus didn't have a large chance of being seen as he sneaked to it. At the same time, a hidden passage was created in Hogwarts. Sirius stooped moments before running headfirst into the walls of the castle. With a tentative step, he pushed his head against the wall, and like he was expecting, his head phased through it like the wall wasn't there. 

It was their most commonly known secret passage, and after pushing back another bout of nostalgia, he ran once again. Even if he blamed Dumbledore for not believing in him, he knew that the old man was quite powerful, and he did not want to take chances right now. Rushing through the familiar hallways, he quickly approached the large gates of the Entrance Hall. 

His eyes quickly caught room number 234-00, the room was in an obscured area, and that gave him the confidence to move forward with his plan. Since it was night time Filch would surely be out trying to catch anyone breaking the curfew. He slowly morphed back into his human form and pointed his wand at the door.

"Alohomora~

AN—What do you guys think? If Sirius breaks through into Hogwarts, he will surely try to get the map first, right?

Chapter 87: Infiltration gone Wrong!

{Filch's office, Hogwarts}

{10th Sep 1991}

{3rd Person POV}

It was a small, simple room with a single oil lamp hanging from the ceiling. The weak light flickered, barely enough to illuminate the whole room. It was dusty, far from something he imagined someone who was titled as a caretaker to live in. A weak waft of fried fish filled the room, and Sirius was quite glad that he hadn't tried to walk into the room as Padfoot.

With hurried footsteps, he walked over to a set of drawers marked as 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous.' He knew where the map was because Filch had stuffed it in there himself after confiscating it. Even though he hadn't done it in front of them, James had gone back to make sure that Filch hadn't torn the map or done anything stupid.

The Mauraders had decided to let him keep the map hidden, and their legacies would be tasked with freeing the map as their first challenge in Hogwarts.

"Alohomora~

*Click*

The click signifying that the drawer was unlocked was the last restraint Sirius showed before he grabbed onto the drawer's circular handle and pulled it. His senses were a little dulled, and that would be the only reason it took a second for Sirius to realize that his left hand had been burned.

'What the fuck was that?' Sirius thought as he stared at his left hand. His hand was not having a good day, and he could see the word 'THIEF' burned into the center of his palm. The pain was bearable, so while avoiding touching the drawer handle, Sirius peered into the various trinkets that were sprawled around in the drawer.

After quickly going through the various magical artifacts, he realized that the map wasn't there. He looked through the drawer carefully once again before moving on to other drawers and continuing to search. This time, though, he was cautious as he used the Revealing charm to avoid any traps.

"Revelio~" "Revelio~" "Revelio~"

After going through the whole storage compartment, he gave up and stared at the 'Confiscated and Highly Dangerous' compartment once again. After another search of the drawer, he was sure that the map wasn't there, and possible reasons emerged in his mind.

'Did someone take it, but how? The map was carefully enchanted, so to anyone else, it would look like an old parchment. Why would someone take that?' Sirius thought. The only people who knew where the map was were the marauders. With him and James out of the picture, only Remus and the rat would have been able to take it.

'Why, though, Remus would never be allowed back into Hogwarts after he finished his schooling for a casual stroll? Plus, he won't care for the map, and if the rat took the map, there would be just one reason for it to do so,' Sirius thought. His expression darkened as his emotions bundled over once again.

Even with the forced calmness that he was enforcing, some amount of insanity leaked through as he clutched his wand hard. His knuckles were pale white, displaying the malnourishment and insanity that he had gone through, and as his mental state deteriorated slowly, the sound of the door opening broke him out of his daze.

"-Are you sure you heard someone, Mrs Norris?" Sirius turned around toward the familiar voice. He saw how Filch's face slacked as he stared into his eyes. 

"Stupefy~" Sirius slashed as soon as he realized that it was not good. It was not the time to face Dumbledore and try to clear his name. The old man had not even tried to contact him, so he couldn't be trusted. 

"Miiaaaoooooow~" Mrs. Norris howled as she jumped from Filch's hands to avoid being buried under him when he collapsed. Another red beam collided with the cat as it, too, stumbled over. Even after all these years, targeting a squib and cat wasn't too hard for Sirius, but as he took a couple of steps toward the door to quickly secure the two, his point of vision suddenly fell.

"Fuck-" Sirius cursed as he used his hands to stop his fall. Pain erupted from his knees as they banged against the hard floor. 

"Fuck!" Sirius cursed again as he took a couple of deep breaths. His vision was a little woozy as he realized that his mana core was almost empty. He had exhausted himself with the last two spells because he had to overpower the wand's resistance, wasting a lot of mana. 

His eyes felt a little heavy, and only his conviction not to pass away in this room managed to push him forward. Thoughts about where the map could have been were pushed aside as he focused on pulling more of his magic once again. He transformed into Padfoot and stumbled, his vision going dark for several seconds as the Animagus magic further tightened his already tight reserves.

The magic of the Animagus transformation took its toll on him, as even in his animagus form, he could feel a dull ache traveling through his body. He knew he didn't have much time, so he quickly ran away. Only his familiarity with the castle made it so he was able to retrace his steps, but since he wasn't confident in dodging the barks of an angry Whomping Willow, he had to take a detour.

Sirius had walked on autopilot through the Hogwarts ground, and it was the whistling sound of the ancient tree's arms that woke him up. After careful consideration, he turned away from the tree.

'Dumbledore would surely check the Shrieking Shack anyway, so it would be better if I find somewhere else to stay the night,' Sirius thought. He didn't have to think for long, as the perfect place to spend the night emerged in his mind.

{Dumbledore's Room, Hogwarts}

{10th Sep 1991}

{3rd Person POV}

Albus woke up as he sensed one of his magical artifacts expelling a large amount of mana. He was quite used to his warning system's blaring in the middle of the night. He turned over and grabbed his glasses from the desk, grabbed his wand, and transformed his nightgown into wizard robes.

He walked out of the room that was attached to his office and looked at the blank magical signature that the artifact was projecting. It was quite faint, but Albus remembered Filch's muted signature because he was the only squib in Hogwarts. 

Suppressing a frown Albus flicked his wand at the door, after waiting for a few moments Flich rushed through the doors, his face set in panic as he screamed, "Sirius Black! Sirius Black has infiltrated the Castle!"
