Remus was sitting in an armchair in the living room watching Sirius. Sirius had gone back to his mumbling state and this time it was worse. This time he would stop to bang his head on the window every couple of minutes.
Suddenly the phone began to ring. Remus pretended to be asleep so that Sirius would get up and get it. It worked! Sirius growled and picked up the receiver. He put it to his ear.
"Hello?"
Remus watched as Sirius' eyes grew wider and wider as he listened to the police on the other end. Only Remus didn't know that it was a police.
"I'll be there!"
Remus quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep again. Sirius began to shake him furiously.
"Come on Remus, wake up! Something happened to Harry!"
Remus bolted up in his seat.
"What happened?"
"He's in prison!"
"What did he do?"
"He beat up a kid in the street and got caught"
"Oh shit!"
"Come on, we need to bail him out!"
Remus and Sirius grabbed their coats and jumped into Sirius' car, Sirius in the driver's seat. It was a long ride. Sirius was so pissed off that that he kept on coming close to getting into car accidents. By the time they got to the prison Remus was shaken up and extremely car sick.
"Are you okay Moony" Sirius asked his green friend
He watched as Remus threw up out the window. Once he was done he gave Sirius a dirty look.
"I'm driving home!"
They got out of the car and ran into the prison. Remus was still clutching his stomach. Sirius ran up to the sheriff's desk while Remus tagged behind, a little green.
"We are here for Harry Potter" said Sirius
"Ah of course! Follow me! Such a nice boy, most unlikely to commit a crime of such sort"
The two Marauders followed the sheriff as he led them to a prison. Sirius looked around and noticed a stone bench on the wall. Sitting on this beach was a boy crying into his hands. This boy was Harry. Harry looked up at Sirius with his bloodshot eyes.
"Come on Harry, time to go home" Sirius said
Sirius pulled Harry up and they walked to the car. Harry had never been more scared in his life. He didn't know what would happen in the car ride home. Would Sirius hit him again?
