Little lion man
Unknown pov:
I look around as I push open the dirty, dusty window to the infamous shrieking shack making a large puff of dust waft up into my face. I cough trying not to inhale any more dust as I choke out “*Michael come on-*“
Michael peeked into the shrieking shack, his face deadpan as he said “*This looks just like every mysterious book-killing house I have read. muggle or not.*”
“*Oh don’t be a pussy*” I chuckle as I climb through the window.
“*Hay milo! Don’t leave me out here!*” Michael laughed as he climbed in after me both of us keeping close together as my little kitten, bug pokes her house out of my pocket and as I look back at Mike I see Dazai and Fyodor his pet rats poking out his cloke pockets as we sneak closer into the shack
“*why did you bring the rats?*” I ask smirking as Mike grins back “they are my little guys you know this. Why did you bring bug?*” he teases “*becise I can’t leave her alone you know this*” I reply with a smile as Mike chuckles...
Sirius’s pov:
When I wake again my body feels weak it is an odd feeling knowing that one of my best friends hurt me and now I'm here on the dusty floor of the shrieking shack.
I push myself slowly up into my elbows each movement feels like fire burning my upper body making my nails grip into the rotting wood below me for support. My body screams at me in pain my back and shoulder red and raw my breath comes hot in my chest as I try to sit up straight. I choke out a sob of pain in my despair I don't immediately hear the soft shuffle of feet the floorboards creaking with the motion…
*Remus?*
I think to myself as I listen to the noises shuffle about then I hear the soft giggle. A little kids giggle.
*Nope! Nope, that is **NOT** Remus!*
I think trying to push myself up more. I look around for something anything to defend myself with. But all I saw across the dust-covered floor was the sharp splinters of the rotting wood of the dying building.
“*Fuck!*” I whisper to myself as I see the shadow of one… nope two people approaching. Who would it be if nobody came here they were scared of it is **the** shrieking shack the rumours were enough to scare away even the bravest of students. Unless they weren't students-
The footsteps stop outside the room and my heart almost stops, I don't have a reason to be scared I had faced worse before but for a reason unknown even to me, I was scared.
Then the door is pushed open and I hold my breath…
Two small fingers pop their heads in and pause once they see me
*… oh god… **children**?! *Here?* Either I've finally lost it or Hogwarts lowered its standard for bravery.*
“*Wow,*” one of the kids declares he is short he is small and has a bit of chub on him making me think of Peter for a split moment before I notice that he is a Hufflepuff. Huh… a Hufflepuff brave enough to go to the shrieking shack. He had blue eyes and short brown hair that had red at the tips.
Then Sirius turned his attention to the other Hufflepuff boy with him. The other boy looked almost identical to him except he had less chub to him and his hair was dark brown with no red. They were both just staring at Sirius in shock, maybe in awe. Honestly, tho they both reminded him weirdly of his friends when he was younger.
“*Umm… hi kids,*” Sirius says looking a little confused but before he can continue the boy with red-tipped hair hesitates slightly before saying “*damn I thought it was all just rumours- did something do this to you?*” he didn't sound rude just concerned which felt weird to have a younger year worry about him.
“*What? No I mean-*” Sirius tried
The dark-haired boy whispered in his twin's ear but it wasn't very secret because Sirius could hear him loud and clear. “*Milo those are creature claws. Maybe a hippogriff or maybe even a werewolf. Remember Molly did tell us to watch out for claw patterns like these*”, At that Sirius's blood ran cold and his face paled how did this, what? A first year maybe second year know what werewolf claw marks looked like?
Milo, who Sirius had assumed the other kid's name to be from the dark-haired boy's words, nodded and looked at Sirius “*Was it a werewolf by chance?… Actually, It doesn't matter. We should get you to Madam Pomfree. You look hurt. We can help you get back to the castle*” Milo smiled as he talked And Sirius this strange boy was oddly helpful.
“*If you could help me get back to the castle I'll give you a few gallons,*” Sirius says without thinking and both the boys look at each other and nod “*Okay,*” Milo says walking over to Sirius and crouching next to him while the other boy stood by the door his hands in his pockets as two rats run up his arms and settle in his hair and what the fuck? “*Michael help me here why don’t you,*” Milo says … so the other boy was called Michael … interesting Sirius thought as he felt the soft hands of Milo try to lift him but the smaller boy struggled so Mike sighed and walked over “*I hate this,*” he muttered quietly to Milo and his twin quickly replies with a simple “*no you don’t*” before they both lift Sirius but under his arms and they are careful with Sirius shoulder and back as they work together to drag a half-dead man out the shrieking shack.
