Just Another Mission for the Organization

[ Epilogue ]

"Hey there," Axel said, leaning against the doorway to Roxas's room. "Whatcha doing?"

"Writing a report," the blond Nobody answered, not looking up from his papers. He was almost done.

"Oh yeah, you were in that Wizarding World. How'd that go?"

Roxas shrugged. "Fine. Do you mind checking this over?"

"Sure." Axel took the papers

Roxas didn't get why Axel's jaw dropped like that - maybe it was broken? - and he certainly didn't know how to react when the grinning Nobody said he was proud of him.

In another world far, far away, breakfast was buzzing with chatter.

"Hey," Hermione said, carrying a stack of papers as she sat down. "Did you guys hear?"

"Hear about what?" Ron didn't look up from his food.

"What do you mean what? It's all over the news!" Hermione's dropped the stack of wizarding newspapers on the table.

Harry picked up The Daily Prophet. The headline, complete with a moving picture of Azkaban, read: "MYSTERIOUS BLACK FIGURE ERADICATES DEMENTORS - PRISONERS OF AZKABAN FREED."

"Why do you think there aren't any Dementors around the school now?" Hermione continued.

Harry scanned the paper, and another article caught his attention: "GENERAL CONFUSION IN THE MINISTRY: FUDGE'S COMPETENCE QUESTIONED." There was a picture of a harried-looking Fudge trying to ward off all the reporters' questions.

"Harry," Ron murmured, elbowing his friend, "you better read this."

Harry looked over at Ron's newspaper and gasped: "INFAMOUS DEATH EATER ANTONIN DOLOHOV TORCHES MUGGLE TOWN."

"Death Eaters are targetting Muggles!" Harry was panicking. "What exactly happened, 'mione?"

Hermione looked uneasy. "According to The Daily Prophet, two nights ago a Mysterious Black Figure went and killed every single Dementor in Hogwarts and Azkaban. The prisoners in Azkaban, many of which are Death Eaters, jumped at the chance and escaped..."

"D'you think Black is involved?" Ron wondered. "What if he's the Mysterious Black Figure?"

"But how did he defeat the Dementors?" Hermione's argued.

"How did he escape from Azkaban in the first place?" Ron pointed out. "Maybe he found a way to kill Dementors, used that to escape, and went back to break his friends out of prison?"

Hermione chewed her lip. "Well..."

While the two wizards argued, Harry sorted through the newspapers, eager for more information, especially if it had anything to do with Sirius Black. A magazine article caught his eye and picked it up. It was from The Quibbler:

"THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS BLACK FIGURE: SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER WORLD?

"Local self-proclaimed self-Defence expert Grinda Luffweed claims that the famous Mysterious Black Figure is actually a being from another world.

"'It's true,' says Luffweed. 'This figure, he used a giant key to stab those awful Dementor creatures - '"

"What are you doing with that?" Hermione hissed, snatching the magazine from Harry. "That's rubbish."

"It was from your pile!"

Somewhere in Hogwarts, an old man with blue twinkly eyes stared through the window, straight at the Forbidden Forest.

He smiled.
