A/N: I finally edited this chapter and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be editing this a lot. Thanks telling me that I accidentally wrote 'Moody' instead of 'Kingsley!'
Sage stared at the man right in front of him. Emerald eyes. Just like him, then it hit him.
"Harry?" He croaked, his voice no louder than a whisper.
"Be silent, little brother" The man hissed.
Sage's confusion was at it's highest point now. Draco Malfoy was pointing the wand at Albus Dumbledore, but his older brother did nothing. It had been a few years since he's seen his older brother after he left the house. He looked the same, but his emerald eyes that once held the bright light that everyone was attracted to was slightly darker- and more unnerving.
"Potter," He heard Malfoy snarl "I have to do this, so leave,"
"Well, that's the question. The Dark Lord asked me to accompany you, and can you? Can you kill someone in cold blood?"
Sage felt his heart drop. So he really was a death eater now. He shook his head, hoping that this was all a dream and tomorrow, he would wake up and it would be a normal day- a normal day for him that is.
"Do it Malfoy," Harry said harshly, sounding like... Bellatrix.
"Do it..." He heard a voice said, Sage whipped his head around to see that it was Dumbledore who had just said it, he didn't know if anyone else had heard it, but just in a few seconds, his brother's wand had a bright green jet of light that sailed past him, hitting Dumbledore square in the chest. His body was thrown out of the Astronomy tower, falling towards the battle downstairs.
"No..." Sage whispered. As the death eaters stormed past him, he was finally able to move. He ran after his older brother, chasing him down all the way to the bottom of the Astronomy tower. When he came to the last step, he saw many jets of light sailing past him. Some, not hitting their targets, but otherwise, all hitting people.
He spotted his brother and Severus Snape and went to go chase them, but was then suddenly grabbed by a pair of strong arms. He struggled and twisted until the person who was grabbing him turned to face him.
"Sage, son calm down..." A soft voice came from his father. Behind him stood his mother, face filled with sorrow and grief.
"Where's Dumbledore Sage?" He said raising his wand and making a shield for the spell that nearly hit him.
"Dumbledore... He was killed by Harry... He's a death eater." Sage said it all slowly. He wrenched out of his father's grip and ran after his brother. When he spotted two billowing cloaks walking side by side with Bellatrix, he raised his wand in fury.
"Sectumsempra!"
A dark red light burst out of his wand and nearly hit Harry until he turned around and flicked his wand lazily without a care in the world. Sage's eyes widened before he growled.
"Levicorpus!"
Again, just like the last time, he flicked his wand, but this time it bounced off and went straight at one of the Carrow brothers. He saw Bellatrix out of the corner of his eye, raise her wand and yell,
"Avada Kedavra"
Bellatrix snarled, but Snape elbowed her on the side whispering something into her ear. It sounded like, "Stop it. Potter is for the Dark Lord."
"Harry," A desperate wail roared loudly from behind him. He turned to see his Mother with tears all over her face. He faced Harry once again to see something just for a second. Just for a second, he saw sorrow on his face, but it changed after a few seconds.
Harry stared at the two with cold eyes that looked... fake? "What?" He snarled out at his parents.
Lily looked taken back at the hostility towards her, but what surprised her the most was the question he asked after Snape and Bellatrix went to fight the battle. "How's Lilac?" he asked with his eyebrows raised.
James just snarled at him while Lily took a step back. "Safe from your lot, death eater scum." He spat.
Sage guessed that they didn't see Harry clench his fist the next moment.
"Look-"
"Potter!" Snape roared. Harry faced him and was immediately jerked towards him by a spell?
That was the last time the Potters saw their son for the school year, and they were happy about it, but the one thing Lily kept on talking about was,
"What was Harry going to say to us?"
The angry face of Sage glared at Snape and Harry. While Harry looked amused at this gesture, he was starting to get red in fury.
"The Boy-Who-Lived" Harry mockingly said, annunciating every since word as if the people around him were a child. "The pride and joy of Lily and James Potter," He stopped for a second, "The only child the two cared for..." Lily and James flinched at the tone he was using.
"It seems that despite your exhausted defensive strategies," Harry paused for a moment, something flickering through his eyes, "You still have a bit of a security problem headmaster," He stared at James Potter who was the temporary headmaster at Hogwarts. "I'm afraid it's quite extensive." He finished before tilting his head like a child with curiosity.
Sage's action was immediate. He whipped his wand out and pointed at Harry's throat. "Shut up Death eater scum"
Fred and George stared at Harry in shock and disappointment. What had happened to the friend that was always their partner-in-crime? Something happened since there's no way that Harry would've joined them without a reason.
Harry brought his wand out slowly and made a silent shield charm, strong enough to block every one of the spells that came towards him. When the spells stopped, he grinned.
"Before you try to attack me behind my back... Which is rather Slytherin of you," He smiled brightly, but not the same one that he used to always to him when they were little, "The dark lord told Rabastan to tell Rodolphus to tell Bella to tell Lucius to tell Draco to tell me to tell Snape to tell me," He panted for a second. "You have one hour Sage Potter, to come to the forbidden forest... to duel- no die..." He scratched his head, messing up the already messy hair.
"Until then, tah-tah!" Harry waved his hands at Sage before disappearing.
Harry looked at his watch when it clicked. "Well my Lord, it seems that Potter has not shown up yet... Such a coward, just like his father." His voice sent shivers down everyone that was listening.
Suddenly there was a rustle of leaves and a shadow in the darkness, that was moving towards the dark lord and his death eaters. Sage Potter came out of the shadows and slowly walked towards Voldemort.
Voldemort smiled a bright smile that... wasn't bright at all. "Sage Potter... The boy-who-lived... is now going to be the boy-who-died."
"Sage, what are 'ou doin' 'ere?" Hagrid shouted, Bellatrix raised her wand threateningly towards him and silenced him.
"Avada Kedavra" Voldemort whispered quietly, as the green jet of light went towards Sage, the death eaters around smiled, waiting for their enemy to be killed.
"Is the Boy dead," Voldemort growled, "Potter, go check on your brother,"
"As you wish my lord." Harry bowed down and walked towards the limp figure of Sage. He knelt down in front of him, obscuring the view from Voldemort and the other death eaters.
Harry reached to feel his pulse- which was still there, and he smiled. He whispered into his ear, "Are mum and dad okay? Is Lilac okay?" His brother nodded slightly before returning limp. Harry stood up and faced Voldemort.
"Dead." He said smiling evilly, "The Boy-Who-Lived-Is-Dead." The death eaters cheered loudly, raising their wands with red sparks coming out of them.
"Silence!" Voldemort roared. Everyone became silent.
The death eaters walked towards the castle, where the order members and the students of Hogwarts stood.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Harry carrying the limp figure of Sage.
"You death eater scum!" James Roared while Lily and Lilac screamed "NO!" and tried to grab James.
"The Boy-Who-Lived is dead..." Voldemort said, addressing everyone around, "From this time on, you will put your faith in me." He touched his heart which disgusted nearly everyone.
Harry put his head down and whispered "Now's the time Sage,"
What's Harry doing to Sage?" Lilac whispered to her mother while pointing at Harry.
Lily shook her head, eyes widening even more than before. "I don't know Lilac..."
Sage hopped off of Harry and yelled,
"Bombarda!"
The spell hit Voldemort right in the chest which blasted him to the ground.
"Sage!" James yelled in relief, but Sage didn't face him but faced Harry instead who nodded and mouthed, 'Any spell... throw it at me' which didn't go unnoticed by the students.
"Stupefy!" Sage targeted Harry who didn't move an inch before getting thrown across.
Voldemort stared at Sage in shock, how did he survive the killing curse? No one took any notice at Neville who was holding the sword of Gryffindor which gleamed in the sun. He ran towards Nagini and cut her head off before falling to the ground, panting.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort screamed the green light went towards Lilac which hit her in the chest, killing her. The battle began again with Order members and Students attacking the death eaters. No one noticed Harry who had tears in his eyes, running towards Lilac's dead form.
"No..." Harry and Sage knelt down. He touched Lilac's cheeks which were, surprisingly warm. "Sage, go fight Voldemort. I'll be behind you all the way," He dragged Lilac's body by the walls which he hoped was safe.
"Yo Tom!" Sage yelled out, Voldemort just killed a Gryffindor student with the killing curse.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort screamed, just how many times was this man going to use that curse anyway?
"Expelliarmus!"
He chuckled, "Potter, how can you fight me? Much less alone?"
"Alone? Well, let's see about that, Expelliarmus!"
Everyone was taken back when they saw Harry Potter the death eater attacking Voldemort with Sage. The battle went on for a few minutes until there was a loud bang and, Voldemort's body fell to the floor. Dead.
In a matter of seconds, the battle was over, and the death eaters were dead or fleeing. Perhaps the latter one. Harry pushed Sage a little and they both bumped fists when they saw Lilac's eyes opening and waking up.
He ran over towards Lilac and hugged her, "Lilac... I'm glad..." The three were in a small hug together until Harry flinched.
"Harry?" Sage's eyes widened when he saw the bloody arm. "We need to get you to Madame Pomfrey!" but Harry shook his head.
"I can't. I'm a death eater remember? Half of the order wants my head and I can't afford to be tortured by them."
"Then how about I take you there?" Lilac's bright smile fluttered Harry's stomach.
"Lilac," He said sadly as he caressed her cheeks, "That's very nice of you but-"
"Stupefy!" Two voices roared as Harry was thrown back violently.
"Lilac! Are you alright, we need to get him to the ministry!" James said as he hugged his daughter but was shocked when Lilac scowled and pushed away from him.
"Why did you do that mum, dad?"
"Yeah, why did you? Harry helped us! Actually, mainly me." Sage muttered, fuming as he helped Harry up. He looked at his parents in the eye. "Harry..." He faced him, "Did someone order you to Join them?"
Harry looked at his feet and mumbled something that the others except Lilac couldn't hear since she was right next to him.
"Harry... Why? Why did Dumbledore want you to join?" His parents gasped as Sage looked at him with wide eyes.
"Well, it would be easier if I showed you. Come, I'm sure that Dumbledore has a Pensieve somewhere in his office."
The Potters followed Harry uncertainly but he paid no heed to them but walked forward with his head straight, in the air.
"There he is!" A voice rang through the halls. Someone used a spell to knock Harry off his feet.
Tonks and Kingsley appeared right in front of Lily and James, and the two grabbed Harry from his injured arm, as he whimpered, Kingsley spoke.
"Stay still, we're going to get you a nice cell in Azkaban." He said, gruffly.
"Wait!" James yelled as he pulled Harry's other arm, and he whimpered again. Was there an injury on the arm? "Don't take him yet! He's going to go get a Pensieve to show us a memory!" Tonks and Kingsley looked at James before nodding.
"But, we need to follow him. He's a convicted death eater."
James didn't look too happy about it, but he helped Harry up and they continued walking until they reached Dumbledore's office.
"What was it again- oh Lemon Drops," Harry mumbled under his breath. He rubbed his arm softly, the curse was getting worse. Soon it would reach his heart and nervous systems. The seven people, including Harry, walked up the stairs and opened the door to Dumbledore's office. Nothing had changed after Dumbledore's death.
"Here it is," Harry said as he took a stone Pensieve out of a wooden cabinet. He took out his wand and pointed it at his head, he mumbled something and a white wisp was attached to the wand. He carefully put it in the Pensieve. As the Pensieve became silver, Harry beckoned the others to come.
"Here I go," Sage muttered as he ducked his head into the Pensieve.
"Lemon Drops," Fourteen-year-old Harry was standing in front of the Gargoyle. He carefully stepped up the stairs and opened the door, where Dumbledore was sitting in his chair.
"Lemon Drops?" Dumbledore had a few in his hand, and Memory Harry happily took one much to the other's surprise.
"Mmm, I'm guessing that you still have these muggle candies laced with a calming draught?" Memory Harry asked casually as he threw one into his mouth, and Dumbledore nodded also putting a Lemon Drop into his mouth.
"Harry, I need to ask you to do something... Something that's to end the War against Voldemort." Dumbledore started slowly, Lily and James sucked their breaths. Was this how Harry became a death eater? "Before you agree to this, here are some of the consequences. First, is that you would have to be trained very harshly, and Second... is that your Family would hate you for your 'betrayal'. Do you know why?" Memory Harry Shook his head. "It's because we are in need of a spy... You were a perfect choice, but you don't need to do it if you don't want to-"
"I'll do it. If it's to end the war Voldemort started and to protect my family, I'll do it." Memory Harry said fiercely.
Dumbledore nodded, "You will be trained by Moody and be taught Occulumency by me and Severus. Severus also will be your ticket to become a death eater." Memory Harry nodded glumly. He may not have liked the fact that the person who hates his genetics, guts, and his name the most was teaching him, but he wanted to protect his family. "Lastly, you could be put into Azkaban for being a death eater. Remember, being a death eater usually means that there was a crime done somewhere, and no one will ever forget the fact that you have the dark mark... do you still wish to do this?"
Memory Harry nodded once again, "When will the training start?" Dumbledore smiled, he always liked Harry because when he had his mind set on something, he would go through great risks for himself to protect others.
"As soon as possible, but remember, learning Occulumencey isn't only so Voldemort doesn't go into your mind, but it's also to keep your face emotionless and be able to lie easily. You will have to lie about how much you hate your brother and parents to do this... is that alright Harry?"
Harry sucked his breath and nodded. "As long it's not really really bad lies I'm okay."
Does anyone else hate this chapter besides me? I mean, isn't this chapter shit? But besides the point, don't say that to me. I really hate it when people just say 'This piece of shit isn't even worth reading' because I actually got a message saying that and... even though that's true, it still hurts me really badly. But, Constructive Criticism is good.
