( Surprise )Almost Perfect Chapter 5:

 

It had been two months since Sirius had learned that Harry wasn't at the Dursley's

And he had been searching for him and Peter ever since.

 

He hadn't been very successful in finding anything about Harry and he was worn out as he had been trying to search non-stop but he didn't have the energy for it.

 

Despite that fact he still tried to look for him almost every hour of the day and most of the time the only thing that stopped him was passing out or his stomach reminding him that he needed to eat to live.

 

So every other day or so he would stop and try to find something to eat, sometimes he let it go for three or four days at a time.

 

But today was Sirius' lucky day he had happened upon a large festival of sorts and when there were festivals there was food and somehow almost always some of it ended up on the ground.

 

But Sirius wasn't interested in the food, even though he hadn't eaten in days, well he was interested but not in the food itself but what the food else the food drew to festival, Rats.

 

So Sirius found a dark corner to hide in and watched he did this for almost three hours and saw all kinds of rats but none that resembled Peter and he was getting quite frustrated and he was getting ready to leave when he saw a very familiar, and also very hated rat run almost right in front of him and continue on down the street.

 

It took Sirius a second to realize that he finally found what he had been looking for, for two months and jumped up and followed Peter and when he got close enough he scooped him up in his mouth and kept running.

 

It was thirty minutes later when he stopped running and got to a cave where he's been staying recently and dropped the rat he had been carrying in his mouth, and he suddenly wished he had a toothbrush with him, then he turned back into Sirius.

 

A few seconds later the rat did the same as the dog and turned into a one, Peter Pettigrew, “ You.” Was the only word he said but he didn't look shocked at all almost like he had been expecting something like this.

 

Sirius was angered by how calm he was being and had the urge to punch him square in the jaw but refrained for the time being. “ Yeah it's me,” said Sirius in a hoarse voice and started into a staring match with Peter.

 

“ I figured you'd come after me Sirius after you broke out of Azkaban and all.” said Peter still calm as ever which was really getting on Sirius' nerves but what Peter didn't know is that Sirius had a wand.

 

“ How did you know that?” demanded Sirius his voice getting a little bit better.

 

Peter shrugged at first and was going to refuse to answer until Sirius whipped his wand out of his pocket and held it to Peter's throat and demanded an answer from the rat-like man.

 

As soon as he did that Peter's eyes widened and he started stuttering, “ H-how d-d-did you g-get one o-of tho-ose?” he asked alternating between staring at the wand pointed at his throat and the face of the man who was holding it there.

 

Sirius half smiled half smirked and launched into explaining how he had acquired the wand he now held in his hand. By the time he was done with his explanation Peter had turned white and had started shaking all over.

 

“ Now,” said Sirius angrily, “ where is Harry and what did you do with him?”

 

Peter looked at Sirius as if he was mental, “ I D-d-don't know w-what yo-you mean Sir- Sirius.” He stuttered, “ I h-haven't se-een Har-Harry since, since…” he trailed off not wanting to make the man who had the wand pressed into his throat any angrier than he already was.

 

Sirius stared at him for a very long time before deciding on what to do he quickly stunned Peter, then transfigured him into a watch and slipped it onto his wrist.

 

Then he sat and thought about what he could do now and he wondered why or rather how Peter knew he had escaped from Azkaban and what he should do next.

 

He finally decided to go to Hogwarts and see if he could get a trail at least and at least they would know that neither he nor Peter had Harry. ` But,' Sirius Thought, ` if neither of us have him then who does?'

 

It took him around a month to get to Hogwarts and it was bothersome to keep un-transfiguring Peter to let him eat so he would survive until they got to Hogwarts after that he didn't care what happened to man.

 

He was surprised to see that it was still relatively easy to sneak into Hogwarts but it was harder to sneak around the inside of it he let out a relieved sigh when he got to the statue that led to the headmasters office and transformed back into his regular self unfortunately as soon as he did the person that he didn't want to see again ever happened to walk around the corner and stare straight at him and then all hell broke lose.

 

He didn't even remember Snape starting to yell at him or remember yelling back what he did remember was seeing someone he thought was dead come up and punch him square in the face.

 

He woke up in Dumbledore's office massaging the back of his head he guessed that when James hit him he fell backwards hit his head on something hard, or at least that's what it felt like, and passed out.

 

He looked around the room and saw James staring at him with an apologetic look on his face, along with Snape who was scowling and Dumbledore who had a blank look on his face.

 

James was the first to break the silence, “ Sorry about the punch Sirius but do you know where Harry is?”

 

Sirius looked at James and it took a minute to register that he was being asked a question and so he shook his head no. That turned out to be a bad idea it only made his head hurt worse and he winced.

 

James sighed and looked away cussing under his breath then, “ Did you kill peter and those muggles Sirius?”

 

Sirius looked shocked and he was angry that James would think him capable of something like that. “ No James,” said Sirius his voice had a cold tone to it, “ I didn't.”

 

James smiled and got up and walked over to his friend he looked at him for a second before hugging him, “ that's good to hear mate because everyone here but me seems to think that you did.”

 

Now Dumbledore spoke up, “ if you didn't who did Sirius?” it was in a calm voice but Sirius could tell that he was still suspicious. Then Sirius realized that his `watch' was gone.

 

That's when he started to panic and he jumped up and started looking around for it. “ Mr. Black,” said Dumbledore, “ what exactly are you looking for?”

 

Sirius looked at Dumbledore and then looked in front of him on his desk and saw his wand and `watch' laying there.

 

Sirius calmed down and picked up his wand and Snape sat up and put his hand on his wand he didn't trust Sirius one bit. Then he proceeded to turn his `watch' back into Peter Pettigrew. Snape almost fainted, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows a bit, and James looked at Peter and shook his head Disgust was evident on his face.

 

Peter did faint at the sight of James they quickly woke him up and James demanded and explanation from him and he got one, one that he didn't want to hear but he got one none the less.

 

James sighed he was happy that Sirius was innocent but it just brought them right back to where they started and that meant that they weren't any closer to finding out who really took Harry. ` But at least Sirius can help us look for Harry now that we know that Sirius doesn't have him.'

 

Dumbledore took Peter to the ministry and an hour later returned from the ministry and informed James and Sirius that Sirius was to have a trial. “It will start sometime in the next few weeks and Peter is safely locked away in Azkaban and will remain there until the trial and Sirius isn't allowed to venture outside of Hogwarts until after the trail is over.”

 

Sirius and James nodded and Dumbledore helped catch Sirius up on news and Sirius told Dumbledore of arriving to the Dursley's and finding Harry already gone.

 

James scowled at that part but wondered who else would want to take Harry. Sirius had a few ideas and James thought he should mention them to the Auror's the next time he saw them he wondered if they had ever managed to agree on something.

 

He noticed Sirius looked tired and hungry so he asked Dumbledore if he and Sirius could walk down to the kitchens and then asked where Sirius was going to sleep.

 

Dumbledore thought about it and told them that it was best that they just go to James' room for now and he would send a house elf with food. “ I'll get you a room tomorrow Sirius but for now you can just borrow James' couch.”

 

Sirius laughed and said he was sure a couch was more comfortable than a bunch of rocks or wet grass and it didn't really matter seeing as they had both spent seven years in the same dorm anyway.

 

When they got to James room the first thing Sirius did was plop down on the couch and kick his feet up.

 

James laughed and sighed Sirius was Sirius there wasn't any changing that. “ Padfoot aren't you going to take a shower I mean you smell awful and I have something you can change into surely you don't want to wear that for much longer?” he said referring to Sirius' Azkaban clothes which looked cold, thin, grimy and ready to fall off or to pieces at any time.

 

Sirius opened his eyes, as he had been almost asleep when James had mentioned a shower and now that he mentioned it he did feel like a nice long warm shower and he also felt like burning the clothes he had on.

 

So he took James up on his offer and around thirty minutes later he was clean and watching his old clothes burn and wither away in front of him.

 

Twenty minutes after Sirius burned his clothes James was laughing at him because he was shoving as much food in his face as he could “ You know padfoot you remind of a muggle vacuum cleaner that way your shoveling that food down.”

 

Sirius looked up still chewing a mouth full of food and he had so much in his mouth he looked like a chipmunk with cheeks full or acorns. He quickly chewed and swallowed the food he had in his mouth and stared straight at James and then flipped him off and continued eating.

 

James happened to take this as an invitation for revenge so that morning Sirius woke up with bright-multicolored hair that changed colors all of them neon colored. Unfortunately for James he wasn't the only one thinking about pranks so he didn't wake up totally unscathed.

 

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ ~^~

 

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Dang it it's shorter than the last one chapter or well at least I think it is. Oh well the next one will probably be short too but the one with Sirius' trail in it should be a bit longer if not oh well… at least it was faster.

 

Okay anyway the only reason this was up as fast as it is, is because the last chapter was going to be chapter five and then I wrote this and it didn't fit so I went back and changed the 5th to the fourth and the fourth to the 5th.

 

And the answer to why James punched Sirius is he'd been looking for his son for three months now and he was under the impression that either Sirius had him or at least knew where he was so he let his anger get the better of him and he punched him and if that didn't make sense I'm sorry………
