Everyone woke up in the middle of the night by screams coming from the boys dorm. You waited for a moment before you walked downstairs. You saw McGonagall entering and the group of students became bigger and bigger.

'That is preposterous Weasley. How could Sirius Black possibly get through the portrait?' She asked.

Sirius Black? That name... you heard it before, on the train to Hogwarts.

'Who's Sirius Black?' You asked Hermione softly.

'A criminal who's escaped for azkaban.' She whispered to you.

'I don't know how he got in!' Ron almost yelled. 'I was a bit busy dodging his knife.'

McGonagall looked at Percy.

'Percy, have you seen Cadogan?'

Percy turned to the portraits.

'He... he's that one.' He spoke while pointing to the top right portret.

'Cadogan? Cadogan? Cadogan?' McGonagall spoke while walking towards him.

You saw a knight turn away from a lady, which he was snagging on one of the portraits and he looked at McGonagall.

'H-How may I serve you?' He asked.

He gave the lady some flowers.

'Excuse me, is it possible that you let a mysterious man into Gryffindor tower tonight?' She spoke while following Cadogan, who moved from portrait to portrait.

'Ah yes, certainly good lady. He had a password. On a little piece of paper.' He spoke while stopping in one of the portraits.

He grabbed a bottle and opened it, accidentally hit two women.

'Which foolish person wrote down the password and then proceeded to lose them?'

Neville looked at the ground. It's always Neville... so sad. McGonagall looked at him.

'Is it always going to be you?'

'Well...' Neville spoke.

'Sirius Black is gone for the night...' McGonagall spoke while hitting Neville softly on the shoulder. 'I think you can all safely assume that he will at some future time attempt to return and I speak for the entire staff when I say: while we take every precaution to ensure your safety, it is incumbent upon yourselves to act responsibly. Understood?'

Everyone mumbled understood in different times.

'Very well then, off you go and remember, act responsibly.' McGonagall sighed.

Everyone started walking away and you stayed with Hermione for a while to wait until everyone was gone.

'And this bloody cat ate my rat!' Ron spat.

'That's a lie!' Hermione hissed.

'It's not and you bloody well know it.'

Ron walked away in anger. You sighed and sat down with Harry and Neville. Hermione joined you.

'I can't believe this...' You mumbled.

'He could have killed him.' Harry said. 'He was right there... he was close enough to touch...'

Harry let out a few heavy breaths.

'He could have killed him.' He then whispered.

You looked at Neville.

'Are you alright?' You asked.

Neville looked up.

'I'm so stupid... I can't-'
