HALLOWEEN ATTACK AND SIRIUS' IMPRISONMENT 31 OCTOBER 1991
Sirius was having a drink together when there was an emergency call.
"Sirius, where are you?"
"Holly… Holly, are you ok? Is Lara ok?" asked Sirius worried.
"We are fine. It's Lily." Sirius went cold. "What happened?" "I don't know. I just don't feel right. Something is wrong with Lily. We have always had that connection and I can feel it. Please go and check on them Sirius. Please."
"It's ok love. I am going. Everything will be ok." Magical twins were more connected that muggle twins and Lily and Holly had been able to tell when the other was hurting or very emotional. Sirius decides to go to Peter's house. He found the house empty and abandoned but with no sign of a struggle. Sirius knew something was wrong immediately. He could just feel it. He hadn't really wanted to switch secret keepers but both he and James thought it would be the greatest prank. He decided to go to Godric Hollow. When they popped there, Sirius saw the house and panic flooded him.
"No. No…. It can't be… No…" he said as he ran to the house. Sirius opened the door and came face to face with James' body.
"No. James! James! He can't be gone …" James was like a brother to him. They were as close as can be. He conjured a white sheet and covered him. Aurors would need to investigate. Sirius was a mess at the time and had gone to look for Lily and Lara. He found Lily dead by the cot and Harry crying in his crib. Distraught, he covered Lily and picked up Harry who quieted into soft sobs. Holly was going to be crushed. Twin bond was one of the strongest bonds and she would obviously feel the loss as the sisters were so close. On the doorway was the destroyed body of Voldemort. It gave him chills. He could see a scar on the boy's forehead and wondered what had happened. Then he heard a scuffle and Hagrid entered.
Sirius drew his wand put them down but Hagrid made to attack.
"Dumbledore sent me to check and take the little tyke." Sirius nodded. "He said I should take him." Sirius didn't want to but he finally he handed Harry to Hagrid. "Go with to Dumbledore. I will meet you there."
"Where are you going?" asked Hagrid
"Someone has to tell Holly. Take my bike." Hagrid left on Sirius' bike while Sirius apparated back home.
As soon as Holly saw Sirius she knew. She knew Lily was gone. Lily, her sister, her best friend was gone. Holly fell into Sirius' arms and they cried together and they just held on. It was a while before the tears stopped coming out.
"Harry survived Holly. He survived and destroyed Voldemort."
"So Lily did it…"
"Did what?"
"She read of a love sacrifice. If she died willingly in place of Harry, no dark magic would be able to touch him. She said she would do it if she had no fighting chance." "She didn't have a chance. She managed to fight off Voldemort 3 times before this." Holly held on to Sirius as if he would disappear too if she let go.
"Where is Harry if he survived Sirius? Don't tell me you left him there!"
"No. I sent him to Dumbledore with Hagrid. Stay here with Lara and be careful. I have a rat to catch." "Be careful Sirius. I cant lose you too." "I will." said Sirius and he left
There it is. Let me know what you think.
