Chapter 7- Nabakza 

                “What?!” yelled Harry, “How did you know that was him?”

                “Huh?” asked the wizard. “What do you mean? That was Sirius Black in the flesh that we just arrested.” Harry’s brain was now pulsing, he could feel the blood beating to it.

                “You mean he didn’t look like a dog?” asked Harry calmly. He didn’t want to sound too suspicious.

                “Uh, no. He looked very human to me,” responded the wizard questioningly.

“Harry, are you feeling okay?”          

                “Yeah, yes I am. I’m okay,” said Harry. How could they have known the dog was Sirius, much less see the actual Sirius while he was transformed? Harry’s mind was hurting from all of these contradictions.

                “Alright, well why don’t you come down to Nabakza with me,” he asked nicely.  “We have a few questions for you. Okay?” Harry tried to sound very agreeing, he didn’t want to sound like he was guilty.

                “Okay, let’s go. But,” thought Harry, “what is Nabakza?”

                “You mean you don’t know? Oh, well, it’s understandable, you did live with Muggles for the most of your life. Nabakza is like Azkaban, only not as serious. It is where wizards and witches accused of crimes are put before their trial starts and while it is going on. We don’t want to punish them by forcing them to be with dementors unless they are proven guilty now do we?” he laughed.

                “Heh heh, right….” said Harry. “Another question: who are you?” The wizard turned around showing his back to Harry. On the back were five large white letters: ‘AUROR’.

                “I‘m an Auror, Harry,” he said. “We’re the advanced police of the wizard world. We’re only involved in cases that deal with tracking down and capturing criminals. But, enough questions for now, Harry, we have to head out.” He took out his wand and waved it. Two broomsticks magically appeared.

                “Get on one,” said the wizard as he mounted the left one.

                Harry got on the other broom, and followed the wizard up after he shot away. This broom was no where near as nice as Harry’s Firebolt. It felt weak and clunky, as though he was flying on an ostrich.

                Even with the low-grade brooms, it wasn’t too long before they reached a large building secluded on a grassy mountain. It didn’t look like a prison of any sort, it rather looked like a very tall apartment house. However, when Harry steeped inside, it was definitely not an apartment building. It was a perfectly square, perfectly white room that had black doors on the walls going up all the way to the very high up ceiling.

                Harry looked up, and it appeared that they went up out of the sky, as if it went up forever. In front of Harry, though, was a small brown desk with a goblin behind it. He looked busy signing papers. On either side of him were wizards that looked like Aurors, only they were clad in red robes. The wizard that lead Harry here walked up to the desk and Harry followed.

                “Mr. Lokup, sir,” said the Auror to the goblin, “I have Harry Potter, you requested him for questioning.” The goblin looked down at Harry, and squinted.

                “Ah yes, Harry,” said the goblin. He had a soft and deep voice, “I need to ask you a few-”, he was suddenly cut off by the door suddenly opening. Harry looked behind him and saw Lupin and Arabella run in, appearing to be out of breath. Lupin took a second to rest, then walked up to the desk looking very confident.

                “Mr. Lokup,” he said, “I can assure you, Harry has nothing to do with this.” Mr. Lokup took his eyes off of Harry and looked at Lupin.

                “Oh really Remus?” he said. “How can I be sure? Sirius is Harry’s godfather, was looking for him at Hogwarts, and was with him at Diagon Alley. I see many ways in which Harry is connected with his case.”

                “Yes, it may seem as though Harry is, but Harry has nothing to do with this. Sirius Black is innocent of the accusations against him. He did not kill Peter Pettigrew. I have heard Sirius’ side of the story for two years now, and it is far more convincing than the Muggle witnesses.” Lupin waited for a few seconds for Mr. Lookup’s response. Mr. Lokup gave Lupin a smile, then spoke:

                “So, you admit you have known of the location of Sirius Black, a criminal desperately wanted by the Ministry of Magic and all wizards, and yet you did not turn him in?”

                Lupin’s face turned white, then it turned green. He obviously did not expect this answer, nor to give away that information.

                “Well, yes and no… you see….” stuttered Lupin.

                “Yes, I’ve heard enough. Take him to cell 67A, right next to Sirius Black,” Mr. Lokup nodded in the direction of the guard to his left. The guard grabbed Lupin by the arm, and flew up with him. He didn’t put up a fight.

                “Well Harry,” said Mr. Lokup, “I would like to know, do you know and talk to Sirius Black?” He grinned and squinted his eyes at Harry.

                “No,” Harry lied. “No I do not.” Mr. Lokup looked disappointed.

                “Away then boy! I don’t have all day!” he waved his arm in the direction of the door. Before Harry turned away, he looked up and searched for Lupin. He saw that the guard was pushing Lupin into one of the black doors and Lupin just slid through the blackness as though it were water. Harry guessed that they must be the cells.

                Harry then turned around, and walked away. Arabella walked him out, and as soon as the doors shut behind them and they were outside, Harry asked, “How did they know Sirius was there with me Mrs. Fi- err… Arabella?” There was a few seconds of silence before her answer.

                “Well, Harry, I don’t know,” she responded quietly. “There’s certainly no way one of them, much less all of the people in Diagon Alley could’ve seen Sirius . This is troubling me as much as it is troubling you Harry.”

                “You mean you have no idea how?”

                “None at all Harry. All I’m glad about is the fact that we got down here fast enough so that Mr. Lokup couldn’t use his spells on you and make you divulge all your secrets.”

                “What do you mean? And how did you get here so fast?”

                “Well, we heard on the WWN (Wizard Wireless Network) that Sirius Black was captured in Diagon Alley, so we assumed they’d be taking him to Nabakza.”

                “And what about Mr. Lokup’s spells?”

                “Well, Mr. Lokup is infamous for getting people to admit their guilt. How do you think he got Lupin to say that he’d known Sirius for two years? Lupin must’ve been so angry from Sirius being caught that he forgot. If I hadn’t been putting a mind barrier jinx on you while he was talking, you would be in a Nabakza cell right now.”

                “Thanks Arabella,” said Harry.

                “No time for thanks Harry, we both have things to do. Let’s go back to Diagon Alley for you supplies, then go back home. We both have busy days tomorrow: you start school, and I have to go and defend Lupin and Sirius in court.”

                “Alright, let’s go,” said Harry. The brooms Harry and the Auror flew on to get here were propped up against the side of the building. He and Arabella each grabbed one, and they flew off. Within a few minutes of speedy flying, Harry was back in Diagon Alley.

                All the time Harry was there, he kept a look out for Ron and Hermione.

                “They should be here getting their school stuff too,” thought Harry to himself. But, he saw no trace of them the whole time. “They must’ve come earlier.”

                Before he knew it, Harry had all his stuff for next year, including a new dress robe, an article of clothing necessary for dances. On the way back to Mrs. Figg’s house, he started thinking again: where is Voldemort now, and does he know he’s here? How did the people in Diagon alley see Sirius? Will Sirius and Lupin win their case? Will his mom be returned to life, and will Harry live with her? Anticipating the new, exciting, and possibly dangerous year that lay ahead of him, Harry bid goodnight to Arabella, collapsed onto his bed, and immediately fell asleep.
