Chapter One

"A Duty"

Sirius Black was sitting beside Buckbeak, nursing the wounds that Kreacher had inflicted upon the poor animal, when Severus Snape burst in through the door looking quite panic stricken.

"Snivelus, how wonderful to see you, come to boast on how much you are doing for the order and how little I can do?" asked Sirius in a stiff tone. Standing up and slipping his hand into the pocket of his robes to clutch the handle of his wand.

"Silence! Now is not the time for you to make jeering comments. Your godson just left Hogwarts to rescue you from the Ministry of Magic taking several other students with him" said Snape with a sneer.

"Well I…. wait what? He went to the Ministry? Why would he do that?" asked Sirius

"Apparently your godson doesn't have enough sense to know when a dream has been planted in his thick skull. He thinks the Dark Lord has taken you captive as much as I can figure." sneered Snape

"He had another dream? YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE HELPING HIM TO STOP THOSE DREAMS!" exclaimed Sirius almost hysterically.

"Well your godson seemed to feel that he was above the Occlumency lessons. "spat Snape "So very much like his father he is."

"No he didn't and you know it! You stupid Prat! You're holding a childhood grudge against a young boy who has nothing to do with him! HE'S NOT JAMES!" yelled Sirius "And just because the poor boy let curiosity get the better of him, you threw him out of your office and told him that you would never teach him Occlumency again!" Sirius's voice rose as he continued to talk "oh yes Snape I know about that." Sirius said as he fixed Snape with a glare.

"He told you." Snape stated staring at Sirius blankly

"Of course he told me! What he saw in the Pensive upset him; because that is the same way he is treated by the prats he has to call his family!" Sirius said "Harry is more like Lily than you can possibly imagine Snivelus. He may look like James but on the inside he is just like the Lily you use to know before and during Hogwarts. You judge him just because he looks like his father and you torment him for that same exact reason. You never even gave him the chance to show you his true personality. It's like the muggles say, judging a book by its cover!"

Snape's face remained emotionless though Sirius could see that he had hit a nerve by mentioning Lily. "I'm sorry." he said finally

"Its not me who you should be saying sorry to Severus! Tell Harry that! He never did understand why you hate him so much. "said Sirius.

For once, Snape looked ashamed of himself "I will take what you said into consideration but right now I need to get back to the castle, I need you to tell Albus what has happened.."

"And sit here while my godson could be in mortal danger? I think not." said Sirius grabbing a cloak from the nearest coat rack and sweeping out of the room and starting down the stairs.

"I already informed plenty of the other order members of the incident and they are currently heading to the Ministry hopefully before any of the other Death Eaters arrive." said Snape, his robes billowing behind him as he tried to keep up with the worried godfather.

"No. It is about damn time that I take over my role of godfather which includes protecting him like I couldn't do on that Halloween night fourteen years ago. KREACHER!" yelled Sirius.

"Master Black has called for Kreacher, Oh mistress wouldn't be happy if she knew that Kreacher had to serve the blood traitor, Oh my poor Mistress if she only knew." said Kreacher under his breath.

"Enough Kreacher!" said Sirius losing his patience with every word uttered by the house elf. "What did you tell my godson you worthless piece of filth!" Sirius said pointing his wand directly at Kreacher's chest as he continued to mutter to himself "GOD DAMN IT! Tell me!"

"Kreacher told the blood traitors brat that Master Black was out. It was all a plot formed by the Dark Lord." said Kreacher but before Kreacher could continue Sirius cut him off.

"Enough tell this to Dumbledore when he gets here Kreacher. Tell him I've gone to help get Harry. Don't you dare leave any of the details out! Answer all the questions Dumbledore asks you, do you understand!" said Sirius sternly "Tell him the truth Kreacher!" Sirius threw over his shoulder as he entered the Kitchen.

"BLACK! I don't think it is a wise decision to.." Snape started

"He is my godson!" Sirius said cutting off Snape's attempt to stop him "And nothing not even a git like you will keep me from helping him!" Sirius said pointing his wand at Snape's chest, with his chest heaving with anger. "You go back to Hogwarts and I am flooing to the ministry."

"Ok, on your own head be it!" Snape said throwing his hands in the air as he turned on his heel and with a loud crack he was gone, leaving Sirius to grab a handful of floo powder and step in to the fireplace, with a whirl of emerald flames he disappeared.

When Sirius arrived he almost fell on top of a man with sandy colored hair.

"Sirius! What are you doing here? Your suppose to be at headquarters to tell Dumbledore what happened." said the man.

"Remus, Harry is my godson! Lily and James gave me the job of godfather for a reason, which is to protect Harry. I haven't done my job very well over the years but dammit its time I start! I cant be holed up at Headquarters while my godson is in danger, Remus, I just cant."

"Alright I understand, calm down." Remus said placing his hand on Sirius's shoulder.

"Have you had any sign of them?" asked Sirius as he ran a hand through his long black hair.

"No but we'll find them. Hopefully before the Ministry is overrun by Death Eaters." said Remus as Sirius sent him a worried sideways glance. "We'll find them Padfoot." Remus said squeezing Sirius's shoulder in reassurance.

"I hope so, I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life." said Sirius honestly.

Remus smiled sadly "The day James and Lily named you godfather." he pointed out.

"Yes I was definitely terrified then." Sirius said in agreement.

Suddenly Mad-Eye Moody came up behind the two men "Let's go the sooner we find them the better." he growled then lead the group of wizards through the door of the Department of Mysteries.

Mad-Eye led them through the room of candles and into the brain room where they found Ron, Luna and Ginny and an unconscious Hermione. Ron seemed to have been attacked by the brains and was currently in a giggling state. Sirius was just taking in the scene before him when he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh yeah and I really bet you'll let us go unharmed. I trust you prats about as far as I can throw you." Said the voice

"HARRY!" yelled both of the Marauders in unison. And they ran into the next room only to find Harry struggling to hold up Neville who's legs were spastically moving under him. Harry's head whipped towards the door as Sirius and Remus barged in. Sirius saw his face flash with visible relief.

And so the duel began. Sirius stunned the Death Eater he was dueling before running over to Harry who was struggling with Neville, Sirius quickly directed the counter curse towards Neville and the spasms stopped.

"Harry listen to me. You need to get the others out of here it's too dangerous." said Sirius pushing Harry's head down as a green jet of light passed over their heads."

"But what about you!" Harry said over top the noise

"I'll be fine just go! Take Remus with you. GO!" yelled Sirius over his shoulder as he went to meet Bellatrix in a duel as Tonks dropped to the floor unconscious.

Bellatrix's spells repelled off the defensive shield that Sirius had put around himself.

"Is that the best you can do cousin?" laughed Sirius, just then a jet of red light invaded his faltering shield and hit him square in the chest, he fell back wards into the veil the laughter hand not quite left his face.
