Harry Potter and the Choice

By nyds41794

Harry lay helpless and watched as his godfather Sirius Black was hit in the chest by a jet of red light, from the wand of Bellatrix Lastrange; Sirius still had a smile on his face and laughter in his eyes as he fell backwards and through the veil separating the world of the living from the world of the dead. A small part of Harry's brain told him that his godfather was beyond help but his heart told him that Sirius lay behind the veil merely stunned and needing help. Harry sprang to his feet and ran to help him but as he reached the dais the veil sat upon he was grabbed around the chest from behind by Remus, "No Harry you can't help him…Sirius is gone."

Harry struggled against Remus yelling "Sirius hold on I'm coming! Remus let go of me I have to help him!" but Remus continued to restrain him and eventully Harry relized that Remus was right Sirius was gone so he stopped struggling and sank to his knees crying. Remus let him go just as a new thought entered Harry's mind… Bellatrix, Harry assumed she would head for the lobby so she could apperate out of the ministry so he got to his feet and started running after her with one single goal revenge. Harry could hear people shouting at him to stop but he ignored them and ran to the lifts taking one to the lobby and waiting impatiently until it arrived at his destination as soon as he could get out he sprinted into the atrium and saw Bellatrix running in front of him singing "I killed Sirius Black" Harry pointed his wand at her and channeled his anger into a spell "CRUCIO!" his spell hit her in the back and for a moment she writhed on the floor in agony before it stopped and she stood up laughing. Harry then heard a voice in his head saying "you have to mean it Potter, you have to want her to suffer" Harry looked around as he vision suddenly dimmed and when it came back into focus he saw the dark lord standing before him.

"Harry my boy I think it high time me and you had a nice face to face chat about current events." Voldemort smiled as he finished speaking. Harry looked at him the man who had killed his parents and was the master of the women who had just killed his godfather and felt no fear just anger but surprisingly it was not directed at him but at Dumbledore for not protecting Sirius and his mother and father, he looked the dark lord in the eyes and said "I think you are right, sir." The dark lord looked a little surprised at being addressed as sir but the boy who was suppossd to be his mortal enemy and probed the boys mind sensing his emotions "Well this is a surprise I see you are finally seeing the real albus Dumbledore I do belive we have much to talk about and little time so I will keep this quick, Dumbledore is no the man you have been told you his I know the real Dumbledore and would be more than happy to enlighten you but we don't have the time I want you to act like nothing is wrong and that you still trust him but during the summer contact me and we will discuss him at great lengths now good bye Mr. Potter I hope we meet again" and with that he grabbed Bellatrix and apperated away moments before albus Dumbledore burst out of the lifts and ran to harry.
