#37—Animagus

Lucius and Narcissa stood with Draco on the platform just before the train departed. A bark broke through their conversation and Lucius looked towards the noise.

There, with Harry Potter, was a large, shaggy, black dog quite excited to be out.

“That dog looks awfully familiar.”

“That dog looks awful. How does it not look like any other dog, Lucius?”

“The face, it looks…oh you clever Black.”

“What?”

“That’s Sirius Black. He’s an animagus. Has been since Hogwarts. Draco, get on the train. Utilize this.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Black’s on the run and Dumbledore’s hiding him. Fudge should know about this.”
