"Where's Harry?" he asked immediately, ignoring her panic and anger.
She gaped at him in furious frustration. "An Animagus? How?"
"A lovely story I'll be overjoyed to tell you about in detail later, Minnie. But not
until I see my godson!"
Minerva swallowed and took a breath to collect herself. "He's with Albus. Safe.
There was a... a death in the tournament. We're not certain what's happened. I have to
go and report back to Professor Dumbledore, and I will let him know where you are," she
said and then left the office without another word.
It might have been minutes or an hour, Sirius did not know how long he waited.
The moment that the door opened and he caught sight of Harry, he quickly crossed the
room and pulled the boy into his arms.
"Harry, are you all right? I knew it. I knew something like this... What happened?"
He pulled away to look at Harry's face, shocked at the pale colour and lack of life
in the usually enthusiastic teenager.
"What happened?" Sirius demanded, turning his attention to Dumbledore as he
brought Harry over to the desk, sitting him down in the chair.
"It would appear, Sirius, that you were not, in fact, the first man to escape Azkaban,"
Dumbledore said thoughtfully. "Alastor Moody has been kept prisoner for the past nine
months, and Barty Crouch Jr has been using Polyjuice Potion to impersonate him."
"Barty... No." Sirius shook his head. "No, Crouch died in Azkaban. I remember
the guards saying... I remember he died."
"He changed right before our eyes and is now being held captive here in the castle,
waiting to be questioned by the Minister for Magic," Dumbledore informed him. "He was
charged by Voldemort to come to Hogwarts, arrange for Harry to become a Triwizard
champion, and make it to the end of the final task where the Triwizard Cup had been
charmed into a Portkey."
Sirius's eyes widened, and he felt himself shaking. A glance down at Harry told him
that he was not the only one. There were more answers needed, but he remembered hearing
about another boy dying, and by the look on Harry's face, Sirius could tell that his godson
had seen it with his own eyes.
"I need to know what happened after you touched the Portkey in the maze, Harry,"
Dumbledore said.
