Chapter 22 - The beginning of the tragedy

Third Person POV

It was a small abandoned cabin in Foula, a very small town. As remote as small was the city on this forgotten island. Only 40 people lived here. That is why that tall old man who wore a kind of robe called so much the attention of the locals. It was the first time they saw him but he enter that small cabin that everyone know it was abandoned. They did not understand why he entered that place and most of the people started walking to see this person and asking why he was there.

But as soon as they got close to this place it was almost as they forget why they were going to that place and go back to they daily lives.

''It's me. You can come out.'' Said the old man.

From the dark of the cabin big black dog came out. It was so big one could even confuse it for a wolve if they saw it on the dark. The dog start walking to the old man and his shape start changing to a man. The man was tall with long, black hair and grey eyes. One could say he was very good looking but he had a slightly spoiled, haughty look on his face.

''It's good to see you Sirius.'' Said once more the old man.

Sirius looked back at the old man and while he was bracing himself for any surprise, he saw the small gleam in the old man's eyes and relaxed.

''It's good to see you too Dumbledore.'' Said Sirius. ''What ha.''

Although Sirius was annoyed that Dumbledore wouldn't let him speak, he was grateful that he personally informed him that his great friend wanted to see him. But before he could see his friend he had to make his report to Dumbledore. Since the war got more violent and he joined the Order of phoenix, he been helping all that he can to finish this absurd war.

''Dumbledore I follow the deatheaters to this town. They had a meeting with the vampires and werewolves. They are joining the dark side. Even Greyback was here to recruit more werewolves for his pack. I couldn't deliver the message becouse it was to dangerous it's a miracle they didn't massacre this town so as not to attract more attention.'' Said Sirius.

''They have been oppressed for a long time, it is not a surprise that they decide to join him. It just saddens me to know that they have lost their way. But they should know we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.'' Replied Dumbledore with much sadness on his voice. He looked throught the only window on the cabin to the night. It looked like he was lost on his memories of better times. You could see how the more he remembered the sadder he was.

As the minutes past Dumbledore got chearfull again and said. ''In these dark moments is when we should most appreciate those little moments of happiness. Sadly I can't go for Harry first birthday but remenber say hello for me. Oh! and before I forget this is his gift.''

Suddenly Dumbledore hand him a small packcage full of lemon candies. While Sirius arched an eyebrown he remember that had not buy a gift for his godson yet. Maybe a toy broomstick would be an amazing gift for him, he tought.

As he was thinking about the gift Dumbledore said. ''Sirius, maybe James and Lily should stop going from hiding place to another and get safe house to raise little Harry. Could you suggest that to them? If they accept please remember to tell me I will help them''

Sirius was about to reject the proposal from Dumbledore since he know that there was a spie on their side but he saw the small gleam on his eyes. For a second his face lost all emotions, his eyes lost all the gleam. Like a robot, he repeated what Dumbledore said.

''I will suggest them to get a safe house.'' Sirius replied.

''It's getting late maybe we should get back.'' Said Dumbledore bringing back the twinkle in Sirius's eyes as if nothing had happened.

Dumbledore only looked at him without moving till he was sure he left. The gleam on this eyes was stronger than ever. Before disappearing like he was never there, he said.

''All for the greater good''
