True to Ron's word, he did fell asleep in Divination class. They all were just staring blankly at the crystal ball in front of them. It was really boring. Suddenly Professor Trelawney came to their table which it made Ron who was asleep, woke up immediately and Harry who was ready to fell asleep sat up straighten.

"Can I try, Professor?" Hermione asked. Jaiden and the boys changed looked and waited for Hermione. They all knew that Hermione wasn't into this class, so why did she want to try? "The Grim. Possibly." Hermione said.

Trelawney then picked up Hermione's hand and started to said something that Jaiden was sure made Hermione offended because she stormed out from the classroom after she pushed the crystal ball out from it stand and it went following her out from the classroom.

"Did I said something?" Trelawney said.

"She was mad, isn't she? Just stormed out like that. That wasn't her type." Ron said while they were halfway down through the stairs from Divination. Harry then bent down and picked up something from the ground. It was the crystal ball Hermione threw earlier.

"We need to return this back." Harry said.

"I'm not going back there." Ron and Jaiden said at the same time. Harry nodded.

"Alright, I'll see you later."

"See you." They both said in unison. They made a small talk while they walked down the stairs and went into the Great Hall.

The next day was a Quidditch game but it wasn't in a good weather. It was supposed to be Gryffindor vs Slytherin game, but Slytherin said that they can't play because Draco's arm was still in sling. They all knew that Slytherin just gave that reason to avoid this weather. So it was Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff.

The game went well, except for the heavy rain and wind. It all stopped when Harry shot up to the dark sky following the Hufflepuff's seeker, Cedric Diggory. They waited about 5 minutes or so until they spotted something falling down from the sky. It was Harry. Dumbledore held out his hand and shouted the incantation to save Harry.

"Aresto momentum!"

"He's a bit paled, isn't he?" Ron said. After Dumbledore saved Harry, he was sent to the Hospital Wing. Jaiden, Ron, Hermione and all the Gryffindor team but Oliver were there. They all gathered around Harry's bed and waited for him to wake up.

"A bit? What'd you expect, Ron? He fell down 100 feets." Fred said.

"Yeah, let's take you to the Astronomy Tower and throw you from there. See what'd you look like afterwards." George continued. Harry started to stir and sat up.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"You fell off your broom." Ron said.

"Really? The game, I mean." They all exchanged looked.

"Um, no one blames you, Harry. Dementors weren't supposed to be there. Dumbledore was furious. He sent them back immediately after he saved you." Hermione said.

"And there's something you need to know too. After you fell of your broom, it was blew straight to Whomping Willow. And there's nothing we can do to save it." Ron said and unwrapped Harry's broken broomstick and showed it to him.

"I'm sorry to hear about your broomstick. Is there nothing you can do?" Remus asked Harry. He, Jaiden and Harry was walking in the forest to clear their mind.

"No." He silent for a moment before asked. "Professor, why the Dementors affected me more than the others? Is it because-"

"It's not about weakness, Harry." They changed a few more words until they stood in front of the edge of the lake.

"You can teach me, Professor. Jaiden can teach me too. Jaiden sent that Dementor away in the train and I'm sure you know how too." Harry said. Jaiden and Remus looked at each other and Jaiden shrugged.

"I don't pretend to be an expert, Harry. But I'll help you. We'll start in the next term. For now I need to rest."

For the next trip, like what Jaiden said, she went to Hogsmeade. But she wasn't staying long because it was getting cold and she can't hold it anymore. When she arrived at the main entrance, she saw Fred and George was building a snowman. She approached them.

"Hey, Fred, George." The boys looked at her and smiled.

"Hi, Jaiden." They said in unison. "There's something we need to tell you, Jaiden." Fred said. Jaiden nodded to let them continued.

"We passed the map to Harry. We knew that Harry really want to go to Hogsmeade but he can't. So we gave him the map. He can sneak out using any secret passageway and I think he already gone by now. We hope you don't mind." George said. She smiled and shook her head.

"I don't mind at all. Besides, I already remember all the secret passageway in this castle." The boys grinned at her.

"Want to help us build another snowman?" Fred asked.

Jaiden shook her head, "Sorry but it's cold right now. I can't take it anymore." The boys nodded in understanding and bid their goodbye.

Jaiden made her way up to the Gryffindor Tower and went straight into her dorm. She pulled out all the presents she have bought from Hogsmeade and turned it back to their normal size. With a waved of her hand, all the presents started to wrapped by itself.

When she returned back down to the common room, she saw Ron, Harry and Hermione were there. She went to sit down next to them. Harry looked furious and just stared at the fire in front of them and Ron and Hermione looked like they didn't know what to do.

"What happened?" Jaiden asked when none of them said anything. Ron got up and pulled Jaiden away from Harry and Hermione.

"Sirius Black is Harry's godfather." Ron said. Jaiden looked at him surprised.

"What? How'd you know?" Jaiden asked.

"Well, we saw that Cornelius Fudge, McGonagall and Hagrid met up with Madam Rosmerta. Then we heard they talked about Sirius Black and Harry. He wasted no time to hide under his Invisibility cloak and followed them into the bar. Me and Hermione tried to follow but we can't get through. So we just waited outside. The next thing we know, Harry told us that Sirius Black is his godfather. He so determined to kill him because Black betrayed his parents. They were friends though." Ron explained.

Jaiden looked at Harry who still didn't removed his gazed from the fireplace.

"You need to calm him down. Whatever happen, don't leave him alone. He might do something crazy. I have to go somewhere." Ron nodded and they bid their goodbye.

Jaiden went into the Shrieking Shack. When she arrived at the bedroom where Sirius stayed, she saw he was sleeping. "Uncle Siri. Uncle Siri wake up." She shook him slightly. Sirius's started to stir and looked at Jaiden.

"What's wrong, Pup?" Sirius sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"You are Harry's godfather?" Jaiden said. Sirius looked at Jaiden and nodded slowly.

"How did you know?" Jaiden told everything that happened to Sirius. At the end of the story he sighed. "He's trying to kill you."

"There's nothing I could do about that." Jaiden looked at him sadly. Just then she heard a cat sound entering the room.

"Crookshanks? What are you doing here?" Jaiden asked.

"He's helping me. To get to Peter." Sirius said. Crookshanks came and sat on the bed.

"What? How?" She asked.

"You know Peter is an animagus, right?" Jaiden nodded to confirmed it. "What's his form again?" Sirius asked.

"A rat." Jaiden answered and Sirius nodded. "What's that got to do with Crookshanks helping you?"

"That rat is belong to your friend. That Weasley boy." Sirius said.

"Ron's rat? You mean Scabbers?" Sirius nodded. "How'd you know it's him?"

"That's the reason why I escaped Azkaban. I saw the Daily Prophet that the Weasleys won a withdrawal and that they used that money to go to Egypt. On the front page, I saw Ron was holding a rat and it has a missing toe. Did you got what I mean?" Sirius asked.

Jaiden gathered all the information she just got until it hit her. She looked up at him in shocked. "So that's why Hermione and Ron always bickering about their pets. There's a reason why you escaped Azkaban. You want to catch Peter so that you can clear your name." Sirius smiled and nodded.

"It's all fit. The only thing they can found from Peter is his finger. Ron's rat lost his toe. And that's the reason why you tried to broke into Gryffindor Tower. You go after him not Harry." Sirius smiled again and ruffled his hair.

"You are really smart. Just like your father." Jaiden stayed with Sirius about an hour then she walked back to the castle.
