After a rough day putting up with that bloody Malfoy kid, I slump down onto my bed, running a hand through my messy hair. Gazing out the large window, my thoughts drift to earlier when a student yelled that Sirius Black had been sighted at Hogsmeade. Sirius. The man I used to know. The man I used to love. The man who killed my best friend. The man now not far from here. My thoughts were a whirlwind as I struggled to understand this man. An old floorboard moaning like an over used door snaps my attention to the present. I swing around grasping my wand in my shaking hands as I do so. A silhouette of scruffy man looms in the corner, just beyond the light by my now locked door.

"Come into the light." I command fighting to keep my voice steady. The man slowly emerges from the shadow and the sight almost kills me. Before me now is an older, more ragged version of the man I thought I knew.

My eyes widen in shock and I almost drop my wand. Getting over the initial surprise, emotions such as anger and betrayal flooded in.

Within a flash I had my wand at his heart and a look that could kill plastered on my face.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you!"
