No one's POV

The school talked of nothing but Sirius Black for the next few days. The theories about how he had entered the castle became wilder and wilder; Hannah Abbott, from Hufflepuff, spent much of their next Herbology class telling anyone who'd listen that Black could turn into a flowering shrub.

The Fat Lady's ripped canvas had been removed from the wall and replaced with the portrait of Sir Cadogan and his fat grey pony. Nobody was pleased about this. Sir Cadogan spent half his time challenging people to duels, and the rest thought up ridiculously complicated passwords, which he changed at least twice daily.

While the five Slytherins walked around the hallway on their break to Hagrid's hut, other students still talked about Sirius Black.

"How do you guys think he got in?" Henry asked.

"Come to think of it... isn't Malfoy's mother's family surname Black?" Easton said as Y/N stopped walking.

"Do you think he knows?"

"It must be Malfoy, then. Doesn't Black want to kill Potter? And Malfoy hates him, so maybe he let his uncle or, I don't know, second cousin enter the castle," said Benjamin, nodding.

Y/N and Kayden looked at each other, knowing it was Y/N who let him inside.

But then something caught Henry's attention. "Hey guys, does Hagrid have a new dog?" he asked.

Easton squinted his eyebrows. "Huh? I don't think so. Why?" Henry pointed at Hagrid's hut, and everyone spotted a new black raggy dog playing with Fang.

"There, that dog wasn't here before when we started. Maybe Hagrid recently got a new dog." Henry shrugs.

"Y-yeah! Hagrid told me he got the dog recently; I discovered it a few days ago." Y/N stuttered a bit on her words.

"R-right?" Y/N elbowed Kayden's gut, which made her groan. "Huh? Yeah, new dog. I mean, it's Hagrid. What do you expect from him?" Kayden said.

"Hmm, I guess so?"

But then, once the dog glanced at the five Slytherins, it immediately ran to the certain Slytherin girl.

"The dog seems to like you very much, Y/N." Hagrid smiles.

Kayden coughed "pedo" and let out another cough; Y/N glared at her and shook her head.

"There, there. You should be careful and not do any other dogs... like licking because you see that girl there?" Y/N pointed at Kayden.

Kayden gave the dog a look, and the dog stopped licking Y/N's face.

"I'll kill you. If you do that again." Kayden mouthed to the dog.

The dog... Sirius Black.

"So, Hagrid, you've heard about the rumours—that Sirius Black is in the castle. Do you think we'll be safe?" Benjamin said, looking nervous.

"We fought a troll before. And you're scared of a murderer?" Asked Henry.

"Yes?"

"How pathetic,"

~~~

Y/N was now being closely watched. Teachers found excuses to walk along corridors with her, and Percy Weasley (Y/N suspected, on his mother's orders and due to their interactions before)was tailing her everywhere like a highly pompous guard dog; however, sometimes would stay close due to the fact her Slyttherins friends would glare at him because he's a Weasley, prefect, a Gryffindor and he's Percy Weasley. To cap it all, Professor McGonagall summoned Y/N into her office; with such a sombre expression on her face, Y/N thought someone must have died.

Y/N spotted Harry was also there; he looked at her, confused, and at the professor.

"Auntie-I mean, Professor, Professor wrong?"

"There's no point hiding it from you any longer along with you, Potter," she said solemnly. "I know this will shock you, but SiriusBlack --" "I know he's after me," said Harry. "I heard Ron's dad telling his mum. Mr. Weasley works for the Ministry of Magic."

"And I know he's after me... because I look like his first love?... making him believe that I am here, which is making him go crazy."

Harry looked at her, shocked. "First love? He's not just a murderer but a paedophilia, too? Professor, we must get this man to Azkaban as soon as possible. We can't have a man like him roaming around the castle!" Harry stood up from his seat.

Y/N sighed, knowing it was her fault, too, since she couldn't control her powers and kept going back to the past, before everything.

It was either meeting Harry's father, his friend, or the Dark Lord, Tom Riddle.

Y/N rubbed her temple angrily: "Harry, I need to tell you something. His first love is me. I don't look like her because she's me. You know how my magic can be uncontrolled. I met your father and his friends, even the dark lord. That is why he is obsessed with me."

Professor McGonagall stared at her, speechless; she didn't know about it. Now, everything is connected: those times when she would suddenly disappear and why Knight always covered for her missing moments. It turns out she was going back in time.

"Y/N... you should have told us; we could have helped you." Professor McGonagall took off her glasses and sighed.

"Professor.... I also met my biological family." Y/N smiles at her as tears drop.

She gasped and covered her mouth. On the other hand, Harry was confused and bewildered by everything Y/N said.

"So... from my memory with my family before... it was me apparating to them, they told me everything."

Professor McGonagall stood up and went to her. "But you could have told us that in the first place! Y/N, we love you so much. We have sworn that we will protect you no matter what." She held Y/N's hands.

Professor McGonagall turned to Harry and smiled at him. "Harry, is it alright if you could leave for now? I want to talk to her privately." Harry nodded and left the office. 

"Are you, grandfather, and the others even telling me the truth?" Y/N asked silently as she looked down. "Or are you waiting for me to realise it alone?"

"Oh, Y/N," Professor McGonagall squeezed her hand. Of course, we were going to tell you the truth... it's just that we do not have the courage yet to tell you about it." She tears up.

"Oh..."

"Please. We were planning to tell you we don't dare to do it. Y/N, please believe me. I am telling you the truth."

The weather worsened steadily as the first Quidditch match approached. Undaunted, the Gryffindor team trained harder than ever under Madam Hooch's watch. Then, at their final training session before Saturday's match, Oliver Wood gave his squad some unwelcome news.

"We're not playing Slytherin!" he told them, looking very angry."Flint's just been to see me. We're playing Hufflepuff instead."

"Why?" chorused the rest of the team. Flint's excuse is that their Seeker's arm's still injured," said Wood, grinding his teeth furiously. But it's obvious why they're doing it. I don't want to play in this weather. I think it'll damage their chances."

"If Y/N were still their seeker, she wouldn't mind at all," said George.

"Yeah, that's true. She would still want to play fair."

"Well, too bad, their Seeker is no longer her; it's Malfoy. So we don't have a choice now," Oliver sighed.

Strong winds and heavy rain had been blowing all day, and as Wood spoke, they heard a distant rumble of thunder."There's nothing wrong with Malfoy's arm!" said Harry furiously.

"He's faking it!" added Harry.

"I know that, but we can't prove it," said Wood bitterly, "And we've been practising all those moves assuming we're playing Slytherin, and instead it's Hufflepuff, and their style's quite different. They've got a new Captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory --"

Angelina, Alicia, and Katie suddenly giggled.

"What?" said Wood, frowning at this lighthearted behaviour.

"He's that tall, good-looking one, isn't he?" said Angelina.

"Strong and silent," said Katie, and they giggled again. 

"He's only silent because he's too thick to string two words together," said Fred impatiently. I don't know why you're worried, Oliver; Hufflepuff is a pushover. Last time we played them, Harry caught the Snitchin about five minutes, remember?"

"Cedric? The guy who's been with Y/N lately?" said Ron.

"Unfortunately, they're friends. And we can't do anything about it-"

"How about we ask Y/N about their game style and tactics?" said Fred while his twin nodded.

"That is not fair, Weasley; we must play safe and fair, unlike the snakes." 

"We were playing in completely different conditions!" Wood shouted, his eyes bulging slightly. Diggory's put a very strong side together! He's an excellent Seeker! I was afraid you'd take it like this! We must not relax! We must keep our focus! Slytherin is trying to wrong-foot us! We must win!"

"Oliver, calm down!" said Fred, looking slightly alarmed. "We're taking Hufflepuff very seriously"

"Or perhaps you don't want to get embarrassed by Y/N and want to show off to her." The girls giggled.

"Shut up!" yelled Wood.
