chapter 10
It's been forever I know!

“Draco, pay attention!” Severus snapped. Draco glowered and was about to snap back when a guard from the courtyard rushed in.
“Rogue Knights! On horseback, coming across the field!”
Draco all but bolted out of his chair before Severus could stop him. The Prince and his mentor arrived in the courtyard ust as Lucius and Remus gave the signal to lower the drawbridge. Draco sprinted up to the battlements with Severus close on his heels.
Across the large field, in the distance, he saw two bay horses, their coats fire orange and their manes and tails black as night. The riders wore black cloaks that barely concealed the hair that matched te coats of their mounts.
Draco jerked his eyes up at Severus' gasp. A rider on a thick, white stallion came galloping from the trees. He too had a cloak, but the hood was shed back, his shoulder length black hair flying behind him like a flag in the wind. His blue eyes glinted with fire as he rode with one arm wrapped securely around a slumped, cloaked figure in front of him and the other holding the leather reins of his great white beast.
Remus turned and fled down the stairs, with Severus trailing in his wake. Draco would have followed if not for the heavy hand that gripped his shoulder. Glancing back to his father, Draco saw the king shake his head before turning his attention back to the riders coming across the drawbridge into the safety of the Slytherin castle. Taking the hint, Draco leaned forward in anticipation as the fire bay horses galloped across the bridge.
Once inside Slytherin’s walls, they separated the crowd that had gathered, their horses dancing and striking the cobblestone with their fore hooves. That alone drew gasps from the crowd, but their riders tried for one more. They threw back their hoods and the shock of bright orange, Weasley hair drew yet louder shrieks. Their pale faces were dotted with freckles and were as cold and as hard as stone. The Weasley Twins.
They were legendary and Draco remembered them very distinctly from two years before. But even they couldn't compare to the man that came charging up the bridge afte them.
Sirius Black. And escaped prisoner from Azkaban and now the second in command of the Rogue Knights.
His blue eyes bore up into Draco right before he galloped under the archway. And for a moment, Draco felt like shrinking back from the penetrating stare, but he remembered his father's strong grip that still resided on his shoulder and he tilted his head up in a proper show of royalty.
Sirius Black not only drew gasps, he drew shrieks of terror and surprise, especially when the thick white stallion under him let loose a high pitch squeal and reared up almost vertically. Draco could see the Black's muscles flex in visible strain as he fought to control his mount and hang onto the precious cargo in front of him.
The horse landed and the man quickly but carefully handed the body to Remus before swinging off his temperamental beast. He flung the reins at one of the Weasly twins.
“Don't let anyone touch him.” The Second barked out before turning to Severus.
The twin that caught the stallion's reins handed off his own are to his brother before leading the large stallion in the direction of the stables. Or at least, he tried to. The crowd was too busy 'ooh'ing and 'aah'ing and whispering amongst themselves to move. Several remarkably stupid ones reached out to pat the stallion.
At the closing in crowd, the normally temperamental animal had his ears pinned and his teeth chomping on the bit. His hindquarters swung in large archs, bunching underneith him in an impressive display of power. An esecially bold admirer slapped the horse's rump and before he could react, a sharp hoof caught him in the thigh. The man staggered back in shock, caught by other members of the crowd.
As Draco shook his head at the villagers' idiocy, he felt his father's hand push itself off his shoulder to propel the king down the stairs and into the crowd.
“Move!”
The deep bellow was enough to have the crowd parting fast for their king and with two grateful nods from the twins, the nervous horses were led away. Lucius looked up and caught Draco's eye, silently motioning for him to stay and keep an eye on the Weasley twins. Silver eyes narrowed, but he watched his father follow Remus, Sirius, and Severus inside silently.

“What happened, Sirius?” Lucius asked, concern flickering quickly across his features as they gently laid Harry down on one of the beds inside the nurse's quarters.
“Voldemort's Death Eaters captured him and then had tortured him. We can only guess at the reason why he is even still alive.” Severus shook his head.
“Why did he just not run? Cohan could hav outstripped any arrows tat could have injured either of them.”
Sirius' brown furrowed as he leaned down to brush the hair gingerly from Harry's face.
“I do not know what became of Cohan. Him or Harry's twin bladed. But I do know that Harry will stop at nothing to get them back.”

I know, I know, I know! They'll hopefully be coming faster and longer. I had writer's block and I just couldn't write ANYTHING but CSI stuff (which you'll see posted soon)... I'm sawwy.
Review please? They make me happy and they really do encourage me to update faster.
