This is a long chapter and doesn't have Draco in it at all, its Ariel hanging out with her brother. I don't think every chapter should be just Draco and Ariel because there is a SHIT TON of stories like that, I also want to keep it as 3rd person because first person POV's can get confusing if they keep changing and i like to show the feelings of all the main characters I am focusing on and POV's make that annoying.

Please Enjoy

On Saturday morning, all the students who got permission left for Hogsmead, leaving the Potter twins to wander Hogwarts alone "Pssst-Harry! Ariel!" the twins turned around on the stairs leading to the Gryffindor to see Fred and George peering out at them from behind a statue of a humpbacked, one eyes witch

"What are you doing?"" Harry asked curiously "How come you two aren't going to Hogsmead?"

"Did you get in trouble again?" Ariel teased "And without me too"

"We always get in trouble Ari" George shot back with a smirk "we would never dream of leaving you out of a prank"

"We've come to give you a bit of festive cheer before we go" Fred said with a mysterious wink "Come in here…" the twins followed them down a flight of stairs and into their secret party room they found at the beginning of the year. They pushed the twins onto the couch and present an old worn parchment "Early Christmas present for you Potter twins"

"What's that supposed to be?" Harry asked

"This, harry is the secret of your success" Said George

"It's a wrench, giving this to you two" Fred sighed dramatically "but we decided last night, your needs are greater than ours"

"Besides we know it off by heart" George waved his hand in front of his face, as if it was nothing "we bequeath it to you, we don't really need it anymore"

"And what do we need with a bit of old parchment?" Ariel asked, leaning towards Harry to look at the blank parchment in his hands

"A bit of old parchment!" Fred cried in shock "Explain George…"

"Well…when we were in our first year, Ariel-young, carefree innocent…"

"Sooo not innocent" Ariel cut off "and you can attest to that"

"Please don't talk about that when I'm around Ari" Harry groaned

"Anyway, we got into a spot of bother with Filch" Fred continued

"We let off a Dungbomb in the corridor and it upset him for some reason-"

"So he hauled s off to his office and started threatening us with the usual-"

"-detention-"

"-Disembowelment-"

"And we couldn't help noticing a drawer in one of his filing cabinets marked Confiscated and highly dangerous"

"Don't tell me-" Harry said with a grin beginning to form on his face

"Well, what would you have done?" Fred shot back "George caused a diversion by dropping another Dungbomb, I whipped the drawer open and grabbed-this" he pointed to the parchment

"It's not as bad as it sounds, you know" George continued "we don't reckon Filch ever found out how to work, he probably suspected what it was, though, or he wouldn't have confiscated it"

"And you know how to work it?" asked Ariel

"Oh yes" Fred grinned "This little beauty's taught us more than all the teacher in this school"

"You're winding me up" said Harry

"Oh are we?" George said smirking, he took out his wand, touched the parchment lightly and said "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" and immediately after he spoke, thin ink lines began to spread across the parchment from where George's wand touched, they formed words that began to blossom across the top in great, green cursive words that said:

Messers Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers

Are proud to present

THE MARAUDER'S MAP

It was a map showing everything in Hogwarts castle and grounds, right down to the tiny detail. But the most remarkable thing was the tiny ink dots moving around it, each labelled with a name in minuscule writing, Professor Dumbledore was pacing in his study, Peeves the poltergeist was currently bouncing around the trophy room and Filches cat, Mrs Norris was prowling the second floor "Hey this shows every secret passageways in the castle" Ariel looked at the wins in betrayal "why did you never show me this!"

"We didn't want you telling Slytherin…"

"Anyway, this passage here-" Fred pointed to one of the secret passages "- leads right into Hogsmeade, there are seven in all, Now Filch knows about these four-" he pointed them out "-but we're sure we're the only ones who know about these, don't bother with the one behind the mirror on the fourth floor, we used it until last winter, but it's caved in-completely blocked, and we don't reckon anyone's ever used this one, because the Whomping Willow's planted right over the entrance, but this one here, this one leads right into the cellar of Honeydukes, we've used it loads of times, and as you might've noticed, the entrance is right through that door" he pointed to a door to the right of them

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs" sighed George, patting the heading of the map "we owe them so much"

"Noble men, working tirelessly to help a new generation of law-breakers"

"Right, don't forget to wipe it after you've used it"

"Or anyone can read it

"Just type it and say 'mischief managed!' and it'll go blank"

"So young Harry, not so innocent Ariel" Said Fred in an almost perfect impression of Percy "mind you behave yourselves

"See you in Honeydukes" the ginger twins winked and left the room, the raven twins looked at each other then gazed down at the wondrous map in the male Potters hand, they watched the tiny ink with Mrs Norris' name above tiny a cartoonish cat turn left and pause to sniff at something at the floor

The twins were riddled with excitement but Harry had a small amount of hesitation flow through his mind, Mr Weasley's voice floating through him memory "never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain" this map was one of those dangerous objects Mr Weaseley had been warning against, but then again, he only wanted to use it to get into Hogsmeade, it wasn't as though he wanted to steal anything or attack anyone (he should make sure Ariel never used it without him…she wouldn't use it wisely at all) and Fred and George had been using it for years without anything horrible happening…

"What do you think we should do?" Ariel asked finally, she had allowed Harry to have his moment of deep thoughts but she was becoming impatient, she wanted to go to Hogsmeade and he was wasting time

Harry traced the secret passage to Honeydukes with his finger "We're going" he rolled up the map and stuffed it inside his robes, he grabbed Ariel's hand and dragged her to the door of the classroom. He opened it a couple of inches and looked outside, when he saw no one was there he very carefully egdged out of the room with his sister following closely behind and slipped behind the statue of the one-eyes witch

"Well this in uncomfortable" Ariel muttered into Harried chest as they were pressed together since there wasn't a lot of room behind the statue

"Don't think about it" replied Harry, he pulled the map out again and to both the twins surprises, saw a new ink figure appear with Harry Potter above it, it was standing exactly where the real Potter was and was tapping on the statue with his wand

"Give it a try" Harry nodded and pulled out his want, he did as the cartoon Harry had done

"Nothing happened" Ariel huffed and pointed to the map

"You didn't watch the whole thing" they watched a speech bubble appear and inside it said 'Dissendium' "Now try"

Harry nodded once again and tapped the statue, this time whispering Dissendium as he did so. Immediately after, the statue's hump opened wide enough to fit a thin person "Keep close to me" Harry ordered his sister, she nodded and watched her brother push himself forwards, she followed headfirst and slid down what she thought was a stone slide.

"Watch out!" She yelled to her brother who no doubt was at the end of the slide, after a short moment she landed on cold, damp earth.

"Are you alright?" Harry side in front of her, now standing up after he had moved out of the way, she nodded and let him help her up "Lumos!" he lit his want up and saw the they were in a very narrow passageway with a low ceiling and an earthy ground and walls, he raised the map up to the light and uttered the passphrase "Mischief managed!" the map went blank, he folded it and put it back in his robe and pulled his sister with him as they set off.

The passage reminded them of a maze with all the twists and turns, or that of a burrow of a giant rabbit "How long is this passageway" Ariel whispered

"I think we're almost out, the floor is rising" panting, he encouraged Ariel to walk faster, his face felt holt and his feet were cold, he wanted to be out of here as soon as possible. What he thought was ten minutes later, they came to the floor of some worn stone steps "Careful, they're steps here" Ariel nodded and began to carefully climb after him, she forgot how many steps she walk up, a hundred steps, a thousand, she was almost about to give up when he head Harry gasp, she saw that his head hit something hard

"A door?" Harry nodded as he massaged his head, listening and hoping that no one was on the other side, when he couldn't hear any sound above him he, very slowly, pushed the trapdoor open and peeked over the edge "Where are we"

"It looks like a cellar" he looked around and saw that the room was full of wooden crates and boxes, shortly after he climbed out and pulled his sister up after him, he shut the door and noticed that it blending into the floor perfectly.

The twins crept slowly towards the wooden staircase that spiraled upwards, as they climbed they could hear voices and a tinkle of a bell and the opening and shutting of a door "What do we do?" Ariel whispered as softly as she could only to shut her mouth when she heard a door open

"And get another box of jelly slugs, dear, they've nearly cleaned out" said a woman's voice, followed by a pair of feet coming down the staircase, the twins panicked and leaped behind an enormous crate and waited for the footsteps to pass, when they heard the shifting of boxes they took their change and quickly but silent dodged out of their hiding place and raced up the stairs, they reached the door at the top of the stairs and slipped through, they found themselves behind the counter of Honeydukes, they crawled under the bench and stood up like nothing happened

They were surprised that no one saw them as the inn was crowded with Hogwarts students, not a single person spared the duo a second glance. They shuffled around people who were perusing through the many sweets that were perched upon shelves upon shelves, they were the most succulent looking sweets they had ever seen, creamy chunks of nougat, shimmering pink squares of coconut ice, fat, honey-coloured toffees, hundreds of different kinds of chocolate in neat rows, to the left of them was a large barrel of Every Flavour Beans

They managed to squeeze themselves through a crowd of sixth-years and saw Ron and Hermione standing underneath a sign that said 'Unusual Tastes', they were examining a tray of blood-flavoured lollipops, though that was strange as they were not creatures that enjoyed that tastes, they were there for werewolves, vampires and even some animagus' who have carnivorous formes, Ariel liked to get her friends to buy them sometimes and lick them when she was a lion, since you become more animalistic in nature she enjoyed them as it reminded her of the taste of raw meat which she didn't like the taste of when she returned to her human form.

The twins snuck up behind their friends and listened to their conversation "Urgh, no Harry wouldn't eat that, they're for vampires" Hermione said

"Ariel might" Ron replied "how about these" he shoved a jar of Cockroach Clusters under Hermione's nose

"Definitely not" Hermione and Ron jumped when they heard Harry's voice, they turned around and saw the twins

"Harry, Ariel!" Hermione squealed "What are you doing here? How-How did you?"

"Wow!" Ron said in an awe inspired voice "You've learnt to Apparate!"

Ariel snorted loudly "Course we haven't!" said Harry, he dropped his voice and leaned in so the students around them couldn't hear and told them about the Marauder's Map

Ron scowled "How come Fred and George never gave it to me!" Ron complained "I'm their brother"

"They like me more" Ariel teased, earning her a punch from Ron

"They aren't keeping it" Hermione cut in "He's going to hand it in to Professor McGonagall, aren't you, Harry?" Ariel snatched the Map and stuffed it into her bra

"No he isn't" she dared the trio to try to grab it

"Are you mad?" Ron growled "Hand in something that good"

"If I hand it in, I'll have to say where I got it! Filch would know Fred and George nicked it" Harry shot back, not wanting to snitch on his friends

"But what about Sirius Black?" Hermione hissed "He could be using one of the passages on that map to get into the castle! The teachers have to know!"

"He can't be getting in through the passages" said Harry quickly, hoping to stop Hermione rant "There are seven secret tunnels on the map right? Fred and George reckon Filch already knows about four of them, and the other three, one of them's caved in, so no one can get through it, one of them got the Whomping Willow planted over the entrance so you can't get out of it, and the one we just came through—well—it's really hard to see the entrance to it down in the cellar, so ,unless he knew I was there…" Harry trailed off, what if Black knew that the passage was there?

Ron cleared his throat and pointed to noticed pinned to the inside of the sweetshop door

BY ORDER OF THE MINITRY OF MAGIC

Customers are reminded that until further notice, Dementors will be patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade every night after sundown. This measure has been put in place for the safety of Hogsmeade residents and will be lifted unpon the recapture of Sirius Black. It is therefore advisable that you complete your shopping before nightfall

Merry Christmas!

"See?" said Ron "I'd like to see Black try and break into Honeydukes with Dementors swarming all over the village. Anyway, Hermione, the Honeydukes owners would hear a break in, wouldn't they? They live over the shop!"

Hermione sighed heavily "Yes but—but—" she struggled to find a problem "Look, Harry and Ariel shouldn't be coming into Hogsmeade, they haven't got a signed form! If anyone gihds out, they'll be in so much trouble! And it's not nightfall yet, what if Sirius Black turns up today? Now?"

Ariel scoffed, feeling irritated with the goody two shoes, she loves the girl but it gets too much sometimes "Seriously Hermione, I turn into a massive as fucking lion, he attacks me and I will tear out his throat…wow that was dark, anyway Black would have a hard time finding us in this place" she motioned through the frosty window and the swirling snow that stopped you from seeing two feet in front of you

"Come one Hermione, it's Christmas, the Potters deserve a break" Ron pleaded the curly haired girl

"Are you going to report us?" Harry challenged her, grinning, he knew that she wouldn't because they were friends

Hermione stuttered "Oh of course not, but honestly Harry-"

Ron cut her off "Seen the Fizzing Whizzbees, Harry, and the Jelly Slugs? Ariel" he grabbed the twins and pulled them over to a couple of barrels "And the Acid Pops? Fred gave me one of those when I was seven-it burnt a hole right through my tongue, I remember Mum walloping him with her broomstick" he glared at the Acid Pop box "reckon Fred'd take a bit of Cockroach Cluster if I told him they were peanuts?"

"Please do it" Ariel said with a giggle

After Ron and Hermione paid for all of their sweets the four of them walked through Honeydukes for a drink to warm their frozen bones. Harry shivered and snuggled into his sisters side as she emanated warmth, they both forgot to bring a warm cloak so they had to rely on each other. Ron and Hermione continued to argue with each other on where to go next, Ron had gotten irritated and dragged the group to a small in, inside was extremely crowded, noisy but warm. The bartender was a curvy woman with a beautiful face with the patience of an angel as she served a bunch of rowdy men wanted to get into her pants "That's Madam Rosmerta" said Ron "I'll get the drinks, shall I?" he rushed off to flirt with the bartender, the other three made their way to the back of room in case a teacher walked in for a drink.

"I love this place, I can see a shit ton of Hogwarts students making out" Ariel pointed to what she needed the suck off corner because everyone's faces were attached and weren't separating for air

Ron came back five minutes later carrying four foaming tankards of hot Butterbeer "Happy Christmas!" he shouted happily, he raised his tankard and drank deeply, sighing to himself at the delicious taste

"Oooh this is nice" Ariel hummed, she licked the froth of her lips and looked to the door, she nearly choked on her own spit "Shit"

"What?" Harry asked, she pointed to the door and they saw Professors McGonagall and Flitwick walk through the door followed shortly by Hagrid who was in deep conversation with Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, Harry gasped and shoved his sisters head down and then pulled her under the table with him. Above them, Hermione whispered the Mobiliarbus spell which caused the Christmas tree beside their table to rise a few inches off the ground and moved over to the right so they would be hidden from the teachers. They ordered their drinks and stood before Rosmerta

"Thank you Rosmerta m'dear" Fudge said "Lovely to see you again, I must say, have one yourself won't you? Come and join us…"

"Well, thank you very much, Minister" the Potter twins saw the glittering heels of the bartender march away and come back again, their hearts felt like they were beating out of their chests, they hoped to Merlin that they wouldn't be caught "So what brings you to this neck of the woods Minister?"

Fudge's pudgy body twisted in his chair as though he was checking for eavesdroppers "What else, m'dear but Sirius Black? I daresay you heard what happened up at the school at Halloween?" the twins froze, their ears straining to each the conversation over the loud chatter of the inn

"I did hear a rumour" Rosmerta said in an equally quiet voice

"Did you tell the whole pub Hagrid?" Professor McGonagall scolded

"Do you think Black's still in the area Minister?" Rosmerta whispered

"I'm sure of it" Fudge replied

Rosmerta said with a tight voice "You know that Dementors have searched my pub twice? Scared all my customers away…it's very bad for buisness Minister"

"Rosmerta m'dear, I don't like them any more than you do" Fudge sounded uncomfortable "Necessary precaution…unfortunate, but there you are…I've just met some of them, they are in a fury against Dumbledore, he wont let them inside the castle grounds"

"I should think not" McGonagall snapped "How are we supposed to teach with those horros floating around?"

"Hear hear!" Flitwick squeaked, his feet dangling over his chair

"All the same" Fudge continued "they are here to protect you all from something much worse, we all know what Black's capable of…"

"Do you know I still have trouble believing it" Madam Rosmerta said thoughtfully "of all the people to go over to the Dark side, Sirius Black was the last I'd have thought…I mean, I remember him when he was a boy at Hogwarts, if you'd told me then what he was going to become, I'd have said you'd had too much mead"

"You don't know the half of it Rosmerta" Fudge said with a gruff tone "the worse he did ins;t widely known

"The worst" Rosmerta asked curiously "Worse than murdering all those poor people, you mean?"

"I certainly do" replied fudge

"I cant believe that, what could possible be worse?"

"You say you remember him at Hogwarts Rosmerta" murmured McGonagall "Do you remember who is best friend was?"

"Naturally" said Rosmerta with a small laugh "Never saw one without the other did you? The number of times I had them in here, they used to make me laugh, quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!"

Harry dropped his tankard with a loud clunk and Ariel gasped quietly, they had a suspicion considering Ariel's middle name was Sirius but to hear it from someone who knew their father made this all the more real "Precisely" McGonagall continued "Black and Potter, ringleaders of their little gang, both very bright, of course, but I don't think we've ever had such a pair of troublemakers-"

Hagrid cut her off with a chuckle "I dunno, Fred and George Weeasley could give 'em a run fer their money…and Ariel is just like her father, probably more of a troublemaker than he was"

"You'd have thought Black and Potter were brothers" Flitwick chimed in "Inseparable!"

"OF course they were" said Fudge "Potter trusted Black beyond all his other friends, nothing changed when they left school, Black was best man when James married Lily, then they names him godfather to Harry and Ariel, even gave Ariel his name as her middle name, the twins had no idea of course, you can imagine how the idea would torment them"

"Because Black turned out to be in league with You-Know-Who?" whispered Rosmerta

"Worse even than that m'dear" Fudge's voice dropped to a low rumble "Not many people are aware that the Potters knew You-Know-Who was after them, Dumbledore, who was of course working tirelessly against You-Know-Who, had a number of useful spies, one of them tipped him off, and he alerted James and Lily at once, he advised them to go into hiding, well of course, You-Know-Who wasn't an easy person to hide from, Dumbledore told them that their best chance was the Fidelius Charm"

"How does that work?" Rosmerta asked

Flitwick cleared his throat "An immensely complex spell, involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single, living soul, the information is hidden inside the chosen person, or Secret –Keeper, and is henceforth impossible to find, unless of course, the Secret-Keeper chooses to divulge it, as long as the Secret-Keeper refused to speak, You-Know-Who could search the village where Lily and James were staying for years and never find them, not even if he had his nose pressed against their sitting room window!"

"So Black was the Potters' Secret-Keeper?" whispered Madam Rosmerta

"Naturally" replied McGonagall "James Potter told Dumbledore that Black would die rather than tell where they were, that Black was planning to go into hiding himself…and yet, Dumbledore remained worried, I remember him offering to be the Potters' Secret-Keeper himself"

Rosmerta gasped "He suspected Black"

"He was sure that somebody close to the Potters had been keeping You-Know-Who informed of their movements" said Professor McGonagall darkly "Indeed, he had suspected for some time that someone on our side and turned traitor and was passing a lot of information to You-Know-Who"

"But James Potter insisted on using Black?"

"He did" Fudge said heavily "and them barely a week after the Fidelius Charm had been performed-"

"Black betrayed them?" Rosmerta said in shock, Ariel's hart once again beat against her chest painfully, this was almost too much information, but she steeled her heart and remained silent, her hand was clutching her brothers tightly, almost painfully

"He did indeed, Black was tired of his double-agent role, he was ready to declare his support openly for You-Know-Who, and he seems to have planned this for the moment of the Potters' death, but, as we all know, You-Know-Who met his downfall in little Harry and Ariel Potter, Powers gone, horribly weakened, he fled, his master had fallen at the very moment when he, Black, had shown his true colours as a traitor, he had no choice but to run for it-"

"Filthy, stinkin' turncoat!" Hagrid said loudly and angrily, causing half the bar to fall silent

"Shh!" McGonagall scolded

"I met him" the gamekeeper continued his angry rant "I musta bin the last ter see him before he killed all them people! It was me what rescued Harry and Ari from Lily an James's house after they was killed! Jus' got 'em outta the ruins, poor little things, with a great slash across his forehead and her neck, an' his parents dead…an' Sirius Black turns up, on that flyin' motorbike he used ter ride, never occurred ter me what he was doin' there, I didn' know he'd bin Lily and James's Secret-Keeper, thought he'd jus' heard the news o' You-Know-Who's attack an' come ter see what he could do, white and shakin', he was, an' yeh know what I did? I CONFORTED THE MURDERIN' TRAITOR!" Hagrid roared

"Hagrid please!" hissed McGonagall "keep your voice down!"

Hagrid ignored the professor "How was I ter know he wasn' upset abou' Lily an' James? It was You-Know-Who he cared abou'! An' then he says, 'give Harry and Ariel ter me, Hagrid, I'm their godfather, I'll look after 'em' Ha! But I'd had me orders from Dumbledore, an' I told Black no, Dumbledore said Harry and Ari was ter go ter their aunt an' uncle's, Black argued, but in the end he gave in, told me ter take his motorbike ter get them there 'I won' need it any more' he says, I shoulda known there was somethin' fishy goin' on then, he loved that motorbike, what was he givin' it ter me fer? Why wouldn' he need it anymore? Fact was, it was too easy ter trace, Dumbledore knew he'd bin the Potters' Secret-Keeper, Black knew he was goin' ter have ter run ger it that night, knew it was a matter o' hours before the Ministry was after him, but what if If given Harry and Ari to him, eh? I bet he'd've pitched them off the bike halfway out ter sea, his bes' friends kids! But when a wizard goes over ter the dark side, there's nothin' and no one that matters to 'em any more"

Silence filled the group after Hagrid finished his story, Ariel was finding it hard to restrain the tears that wanted to fall down her face, she was curled in on herself with her head on Harry's lap, he was stroking her hair absentmindedly, it gave him some comfort as all he wanted to do was scream at the teachers, demand them to explain everything to him and his sister, they deserved to know "But he didn't manage to disappear, did he? The Ministry of Magic caught up with him next day!" Rosmerta said with satisfaction

"Alan, if only we had" Fudge replied with a bitter tone "It was not we who found him, it was little Peter Pettigrew, another of the Potter's friends, maddened by grief no doubt, and nothing that Black had been the Potters' Secret-Keeper, he went after Black himself"

"Pettigrew…that fat little boy who was always tagging around after them at Hogwarts?" asked Rosmerta

"Hero-worshipped Black and Potter" said Professor McGonagall "Never quite in their league, talent wise, I was often rather sharp with him, you can imagine how I-how I regret that now…" she trailed off sadly

"There now Minerva" Fudge said kindly "Pettigrew died a hero's death, eye-witnesses, muggles of course, we wiped their memories later, told us how Pettigrew cornered Black, then say he was sobbing 'Lily and James Sirius! How could you' and then he went for his want, well of course, Black was quicker, blew Pettigrew to smithereens…"

McGonagall blew her nose on a handkerchief and said thickly "stupid…foolish boy…he was always hopeless at duelling…should have left it to the Ministry…"

"I tell yeh, if I'd got ter Black before little Pettigrew did, I wouldn't've messed around with wands, I'd've ripped him limb from limb" Hagrid growled

"You don't know what you're talking about, Hagrid" said Fudge "nobody but trained Hit Wizards from the Magical Law Enforcement Squad would have stood a chance against Black once he was cornered, I was a Junior Minister in the Department of Magical Catastrophes at the time, and I was one of the first on the scene after Black murdered all those people, I-I will never forget it, I still dream about it sometimes, a crater in the middle of the street, so deep it had cracked the sewer below, bodies everywhere, Muggles screaming, and Black standing there laughing, with what was left of Pettigrew in front of him…a heap of blood-stained robes and a few- a few fragments-" Fudge stopped talking, followed by five noses being blown "well, there you have it Rosmerta, Black was taken away by twenty members of the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol and Pettigrew received the Order of Merlin, First Class, which I think was some comfort to his poor mother, Black's been in Azkaban ever since"

Madam Rosmerta let out a long sigh "Is it try he's mad Minister?"

"I wish I could say that he was" Fudge replied slowly "I certainly believe his master's defeat unhinged him for a while, the murder of Pettigrew and all those Muggles was the action of a cornered and desperate man, cruel… pointless, yet I met Black on my last inspection of Azkaban, you know, most of the prisoners there sit muttering to themselves in the dark, there's no sense in them…but I was shocked at how normal Black seemed, you'd have thought he was merely bored, asked if I'd finished with my newspaper, cool as you please, said he missed doing the crossword, yes I was astounded at how little effect the Dementors seemed to be having on him, and he was one of the most heavily guarded in the place, you know, Dementors outside his door, day and night"

"But what do you think he's broken out to do?" Rosmerta asked "good gracious, Minister, he isn't trying to re-join You-Know-Who is he?"

"I daresay that is his-er-eventual plan" said Fudge, he sounded as if he was trying to hide the real reason "But we hope to catch Black long before that, I must say, You-Know-Who alone and friendless is one thing…but give him back his most devoted servant, and I shudder ti think how quickly he'll rise again…"

there was a small chink of glass on wood, someone had put down their glass "You know, Cornelius, if you're dining with the Headmaster, we'd better head back up to the castle" suggested Professor McGonagall, the twins heard paris of feet move from their table, the door opened and closed again

"Harry, Ariel?" Ron and Hermione looked under the table and saw the twins frozen with various emotions flashing through their eyes, anger, pain, hatred, sadness and a multitude of other feelings.

They now knew who Sirius Black was

That was some heavy stuff, i hope you were sitting down for that information overload, this was a non-romance chapter that needed to happen for the story to progress along with Draco and Ariel's feelings. Be patient for the next one because this chapter made me die because it was sooooo much words

Until next time :D
