Chapter 2
The sound of tapping awoke Sirius from the deepest sleep he could ever remember having. His entire body ached, his head felt like it was being split in two and quite frankly he stank. Clearly he had been drinking last night.
With a huge amount of effort he managed to pull himself up off the hard wooden floor and gaze around the room. His heart started to beat faster when he realised that this wasn't his room, in fact this was clearly the flat of some slob. There were dishes everywhere, papers strewn about and the place stank to high hell. Clearly not a very up scale place, yet it seemed hauntingly familiar.
As he tried to recall where he was and how he got there he continued to take in the flat. Posters of the Chudley Cannons adorned the walls, inter spaced with various arithmetic tables, pages that were clearly torn from Playboy magazines and badly animated and topped off with large posters that advertised the Auror program, all in all the walls were covered, just like the floor.
Ignoring the room for a second he focused on what he'd been doing yesterday, he'd been in Grimmauld Place, but why on earth was he there? He hated his parents house and they certainly wouldn't want to see him! Buckbeak! He'd been tending the Hippogriff! Then Snape had called and he'd gone to the Ministry with the Order, then harry, Bellatrix and the Veil!
Heart pounding Sirius patted himself down, finding that all of his body parts were in place he concurred that he was definitely alive as he was fairly certain that ghosts couldn't soil there trousers as he clearly had.
Still rather panicked he looked about and found that he appeared to be alone in the small flat, the bedroom/sitting room where he had woken up was empty of other people and the small counters in the corner that passed for a kitchen were grimy but empty and the bathroom door was open showing there definitely was no-one here.
Faced with an unknown situation Sirius defaulted to what his Auror training had taught him, he flicked his wrist bringing his wand out of his wrist holster, and then sent a barrage of detection spells around the flat.
