Hello, everyone!
Here's hoping you've had fantastic Christmases! :)
There's good news and bad news: good news, is that the next chapter is up. The bad news, is that it's the last one for two weeks. :S I'm about to head on holiday and won't have a chance to update until the 13th. :S I'm sorry to make you all wait, but I promise the update will be worth it!
Here's the preview:
“Harry’s gone,” Sirius croaked. Remus stepped into the room, his nostrils flaring as he smelled the room.
“I can’t smell anyone else-”
“No,” Sirius said, as that dawned on him. “No, I can’t either.” So the mess had been made by accidental magic. “But he was scared, Moony! Can you smell that!?”
“Yes, I can,” Remus snapped. His irritation faded immediately. “Where could he have gone if he wasn’t taken-”
“If I knew, I wouldn’t-”
“I know,” Remus said, agitated. “I know.”
“The Serpent Sworn?” Sirius asked, feeling ill.
“No,” Remus said, ashen. “No, it can’t- It wouldn’t...”
“Well then where is he?” Sirius snapped, kicking the wall. One of the lamps in the hallway shattered, and Sirius didn’t think he’d felt this volatile since he escaped Azkaban.
Until the new year!

Hello, all! :)
Firstly, sorry for taking so long to get around to responding to this (and all of your other reviews). Hopefully you don't mind me skipping some of the earlier ones, but I figured that most of the things you voiced in earlier ones have already been addressed. :P
Here's the preview:
He found himself thinking he should have dragged Remus along; he had offered, but Remus had been a bit funny about it, saying it wasn’t his place as much as it was Sirius’, godmother or not. Sirius had told him he was more than welcome, but Remus had opted to stay at home with Harry, and try to help him with his Animagus project; Harry’d thought of something for his incantation on Halloween, and Remus was helping him to word it, like he had helped Sirius, James and Peter a lifetime ago.
Good old articulate Moony, Sirius thought, and then glanced around again, and grumbled to himself under his breath. I should have brought him tonight – he’s Harry’s godmother, for Merlin’s sake. He has every right to be here. He looked at the other parents who were, predictably there as couples; some were holding hands, or seated very close together, others just smelled the same – as if they’d shared a car to get there – or were exchanging those coupl-y looks. Sirius felt a little lonely, because of that, and also because he was probably a good five or ten years younger than most of them.
I hope you've had good weekends!

Hello, everyone!
The next chapter's up, so enjoy!
Here's the preview:
And, while it was good Harry was no longer flinching at every noise or sudden movement, and that Remus wasn’t panicking and making contingency plans, Sirius was still very on edge when he was in at the Ministry, and days of research – in Grimmauld’s library, and in the Ministry’s vastly more extensive one – had yielded nothing.
Which was why Sirius was standing – very reluctantly – outside this particular door,
He checked his watch – it was just after four, which meant classes should have ended by now – and then knocked.
This is a terrible idea, he thought. The door opened and Sirius was greeted by a supremely unimpressed look.
“Twice in as many weeks...” Sirius shoved his hands into his pockets and said nothing. “Aren’t I lucky?”
Until next week! :)

Hello, everyone!
Sorry I'm a bit late updating this week - I've been having problems with my internet here, but I've finally managed to connect long enough to update. :)
Here's the preview:
“Are you- do you mean to say, that these Serpent Sworn- that they’re somehow connected to Voldemort?” Harry asked. Scrimgeour’s face twitched at the name, but otherwise, his face was impassive.
“I said nothing of the kind,” Scrimgeour said stiffly, but Harry knew he was right.
“But if it is- If it’s Voldemort-” Scrimgeour twitched again. “-then shouldn’t we do something?” Harry asked, with dawning horror.
“I am handling the situation. I ask that you trust me to decide when or if something must be done,” Scrimgeour said.
“It was war last time,” Harry said. “He killed my parents! If something’s happening, sir, then shouldn’t we do-”
“We will not do anything. The Serpent Sworn are not such a big threat that I cannot handle them alone. You are the Boy Who Lived, but you are also a boy and you have no place in this...” Scrimgeour dwindled off, looking unnerved, as if he couldn’t decide what to call the situation, and that worried Harry.
