Sirius fired a spell that hit the ground beneath John, transforming it into a swamp that began to pull him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Incendio!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a fire spell to dry out the swamp, John braced his legs and yanked himself free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames circled the area, and with a flick of his wand, John transformed them into a blazing wall of fire surrounding Sirius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius wasn't about to give up easily. In an instant, he broke free of the restraints, raising his wand high and shouting, \"Finite Incantatem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the flames didn't stop—instead, they continued to close in tighter and tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's fire spell wasn't something to be taken lightly; he summoned wind elements to fuel the blaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames swirled into a tornado, roaring upward with fierce intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius's expression shifted. He transformed a section of the fence into a shield, using it to cover himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery tornado compressed and, when it extinguished, left only a few scorched shield fragments behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's gaze sharpened as he noticed an opening created in the fence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he dashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he entered, a large black dog hidden in the shadows lunged and bit down hard on his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful jaws seemed like they might crush his leg entirely, but John gritted his teeth and punched the dog square in the face, sending it flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Sirius transformed back, wand aimed at John, ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But John was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Levicorpus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell hit Sirius, who went flying backward, his entire body suspended upside down, dangling from a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Expelliarmus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red light hit Sirius, who had been about to make another move, sending his wand flying into John's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John casually pocketed it, his own wand steadily aimed at Sirius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're coming with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached Sirius, step by step, wand unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius let out a laugh. \"Your spellwork is impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" John replied, his expression unchanged, vigilance never wavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the upside-down Sirius seemed to have found his voice, asking, \"Who taught you your spells?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it that important?\" John almost wanted to silence him—why so chatty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Sirius chuckled darkly. \"That one was invented by that Sevear Rusty Snake Ape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean Severus Snape?\" John wrinkled his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! So you know him, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's a teacher at school—my Head of House.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's expression cooled, and Sirius looked surprised. \"Him? He actually became the Head of Slytherin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you know Professor Snape well, I wouldn't mind delivering you to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea sparked in John's mind as he remembered something his Head of House had mentioned about a plot. \"What's your relationship with Remus Lupin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mention of an old friend's name made Sirius pause, his expression unreadable. \"Remus? He was a friend of mine once... but that was a long time ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John scrutinized his eyes. \"Professor Snape once brought up an attempted murder. I think you know what he's talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Murder? He actually called it that?\" Sirius quickly understood, launching into a tirade. \"That Snake Ape! He followed us there on his own! James was the one who saved him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Sirius was involved, then. John raised his eyebrows, signaling him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a prank. Severus Snape was insufferable, even back in school. We didn't get along,\" Sirius admitted grudgingly, seeming to stall for time. \"One day, Remus was going... well, I decided to play a little joke. It might have been dangerous, but nothing happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sirius mentioned Remus's destination, his voice trailed off in a mumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John, picking up on the connection to Remus, made a guess. \"A prank? If you mean Remus transforming into a werewolf on the full moon, that's more than a simple joke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius's eyes widened—he hadn't expected John to know about Remus's secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But John didn't give him time to linger on his surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight lift of his wand, he signaled for Sirius to go on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, Sirius continued, \"Alright, alright. Remus goes to the Shrieking Shack during the full moon. Severus was always trying to catch us breaking the rules, so I purposely let it slip that pressing the knot on the Whomping Willow would make it stop moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius left the rest unsaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John could guess the rest: Snape, eager to catch them breaking the rules, would've rushed straight there—only to find himself facing a frenzied, uncontrollable werewolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Professor Snape had managed to survive, his fate would have been to become a werewolf, shunned by the entire wizarding world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John narrowed his eyes and sneered. \"That 'prank' doesn't seem very funny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius was ready. He sneered back, \"What, you're going to avenge your Head of House?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assumed John wouldn't have the guts, but John replied coldly, \"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, John's wand emitted a bright white light, a deadly warning ringing through Sirius's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Sirius dropped low, transforming into a large dog and bolting away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree hit by John's Blasting Curse exploded violently from the inside out. John hadn't anticipated that Sirius knew the counter-curse for Levicorpus, but he was ready to chase him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he heard a loud shout—it was Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were close to Hagrid's hut, and the noise had alerted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid approached with his crossbow, and John, momentarily distracted, turned back only to find that Sirius had already disappeared into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! He was waiting for that exact moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, he saw Aurors arriving with Dementors, their dark forms sweeping the area. John's expression turned cold; he had underestimated the strength of someone capable of escaping Azkaban.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making himself invisible like a Demiguise, John slipped into the Forbidden Forest without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The signs of their skirmish also attracted the Aurors, who began inspecting the area. Following the secret passage from Slytherin's chamber, John made his way back into the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he emerged, professors were rushing about in search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of returning to the dormitory, John spent the night in the Constelattion Society's hidden chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, he came out, pretending as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened the previous night had terrified Ron. A female Auror spoke quietly with Professor McGonagall while a male Auror scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filch was there, swearing he had seen Sirius Black and describing how he had bolted like the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Cadogan was unsurprisingly dismissed from the Gryffindor Tower, and the Fat Lady had returned to her post, now with a squad of burly troll guards patrolling the corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron were walking together and reached the third floor, where a passage led from Honeydukes Sweetshop into the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry felt uneasy, suspecting that Sirius Black may have entered that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, however, dismissed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know he wouldn't come in through Honeydukes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron said, feeling clever, \"If he broke into Honeydukes, we'd definitely hear about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron's logic helped ease Harry's mind, and he was glad Ron had said it. This way, he didn't need to report anything to the professors and could still visit Hogsmeade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this reassurance, they kept walking—until Harry suddenly stopped. Ron looked at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Harry's gaze, he saw the door close behind John, who was now leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry didn't know why he instinctively hid, but he felt strongly that he didn't want John to notice him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron gave him a strange look. \"John? What's he doing there? Searching for Sirius Black, maybe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry replied, \"Maybe he stayed there all night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once John walked away, the two quickly approached the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully, they opened it, finding it just as empty as last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was puzzled, but Harry seemed to suspect something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's check around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's nothing here,\" Ron grumbled. \"We might as well go fly on the Firebolt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring him, Harry continued searching, though they found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is John hiding?'Harry wondered. Was there treasure in here, or maybe something… or someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked Ron if Black was rich, and Ron confirmed that he was very wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Harry think of how generously John always spent his money, like… well, like he had an endless supply....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heya Guys!
