Department of Mysteries: POV Hermione

My heart hammered painfully against my ribcage, adrenaline made every nerve in my body blaze and I was more aware than ever. The Death Eater I had been duelling was now lying on the floor ensnared in the ropes created from the last spell I had uttered. I surveyed my surroundings ready to duel my next opponent when the battle between Bellatrix and Sirius caught my attention, each of their faces radiating determination. I looked around again to notice all the other battles had ceased and I refocused my attention on the last pair. Sirius ducked a jet of red light from Bellatrix and proceeded to laugh at her.

"Come on you can do better than that!" he mocked, it was then that the second jet of light hit him square in the chest sending him backwards arcing gracefully and eyes flung wide in shock as he headed towards the whispering veil behind him. I lunged forward in a desperate attempt to grab his hand and as he fell I found myself loosing my footing as I tumbled through after him. The last thing I heard was Harry's strangled, despairing scream and the triumphant cheers of Bellatrix, as my world faded to nothing.


POV Harry

I watched stricken with horror as my godfather fell towards the veil only to be followed by best friend, a scream tore it's way from my throat echoing and reverberating off the walls. Hot tears rolled down my bloodied cheeks and my heart ached, not only had I lost the closest thing I had to family but I had also lost my best friend.

"SIRIUS, HERMIONE!" I yelled, I ran forward determined that I could pull them back, only to be grabbed by Lupin.

"There's nothing you can do Harry-"

"Get them, save them, they only just went through" I begged

"-it's too late, Harry"

"We can still reach him -" I cried trying to wrench my arms from his grip, but to no avail.

"There's nothing you can do, Harry... nothing... they are gone" Grief and despair drenching his words.
