Hello all, just something that came to me the other day, that I thought would make a brilliant story. And if you've read my other stories then you'll know that I'm a sucker for Remus Sirius friendship =] So here you go, Enjoy!
Harry Potter was a bit bewildered when a flash appeared behind Lucius Malfoy, and out of it stepped his godfather.
Harry was a bit relieved and a bit regretful. Relieved because he had to admit he was in a bit of a situation, what with the prophecy and all, and he could use all the help he could get. Regretful because he was definitely going to get an earful once they got home. Of course it would all end in a hug and Sirius telling him how worried he was...but still. The earful part wouldn't be too pleasant.
What bewildered Harry even more was when Sirius walked up behind Lucius(who had turned to face him), growled "Get away from my godson" and punched him in the face as hard as a man from Azkaban possibly could.
It was at that moment that another white flash came and drove the death eaters away from the others. When the flash finally came to a stop, Tonks stumbled out of it(much to Harry's amusement.) Then, a different order member appeared on each side of the room. First Moody, then Kingsley, and lastly Lupin.
By this time Sirius had pulled Harry behind a large boulder. He shot a curse at a death eater behind them before he turned to his godson "Now listen to me, I want you to take the others and get out of here."
"What? No I'm staying here with you!" Harry gasped.
"You've done beautifully" Sirius put a hand on Harry's shoulder "Now let me take it from here" and if Harry didn't know any better he would think those where unshed tears in his godfather's eyes. But that thought was wiped out as a spell hit the boulder they hid behind. Turning they saw Lucius standing there almost as though he where challenging them. Another death eater appeared by his side as he fired a curse at Harry. A curse that Sirius blocked.
Upon blocking another curse, Harry joined the fight as well, and soon Sirius took the other death eater out, and Harry disarmed Lucius of one of his wands.
"Nice one, James!" Sirius unconsciously slipped as he shot another curse, disarming the Malfoy completely. He shot another spell knocking him over. And just as he did, Harry noticed Bellatrix Lestrange appear on top of a boulder ahead of them, wand pointed directly at Sirius. His eyes widened and the shock registered but his voice was no where to be found.
Unbeknown to Harry, that one other nearby person had noticed what he had seen. And this experienced wizard found his voice gone as well, but found his legs working perfectly fine. Remus Lupin had seen Bellatrix Lestrange before. And seen the way she hated her cousin, Sirius. And he knew she would not spare him with a simple Cruciatus curse.
And the moment Remus realized this he ran. He ran straight towards Sirius. Because Remus Lupin refused to loose another friend. He simply wouldn't allow it to happen. And he would stop it from happening, no matter what.
Needless to say that both Bellatrix and Sirius where a bit thrown off when they heard the scream of "Avada Kevavra" but the jet of green missed Sirius completely when someone charged him to the ground. Bellatrix's moment of shock did two things. It one, gave Harry the chance to disarm and stun her. And two, it allowed Remus and Sirius to land safely on the ground.
"Merlin's beard Padfoot, you can't get killed yet! Watch yourself!" Remus chastised as he turned to look over his shoulder, looking around the entire room, scanning to make sure it was safe to stand. He noticed another death eater engaging Harry in duel, and Tonks on the other side of the room, trying to get the other kids to safety. He knew he had to help. Sirius was having his time fighting alongside Harry and he would hate to ruin that moment for them. So he knew he should probably go help Tonks.
So with that he got up from on top of Sirius and began dashing over to them.
Sirius, who was still it pure, unbelieving shock at what Remus had done, still lay there on the cold black ground. Unable to form words to express his emotions at this point. But as soon as Remus lifted himself off of him and took a few steps, Sirius's voice returned to him.
"Remus, wait!"
Remus turned around hurriedly.
"I...Thanks..." Sirius mustered up.
Remus found it in himself to smile "No problem. Just see to it that I don't have to save your skin for the again for about the hundredth time!"
"Hey! Those potions classes don't count!" Sirius couldn't help but throw out the joke despite their situation. He heard Remus laugh softly before he took off. Though he did notice Remus stop by to help Harry(who looked like he was in a bit of a situation.) He saw his friend give his godson a pat on the shoulder before he took off again.
"Sirius!" Remus's voice tore into his thoughts. He snapped his head towards his friend "Harry!" he saw Remus point to his godson, who seemed to be fighting off several people at the same time. Suddenly it registered to Sirius that Harry was fighting death eaters on his own. He jumped to his feet and shot to the young man's side.
When Remus saw this, he nodded in contentment that the message had finally gotten through to his friend, that now he was doing what he was supposed to be. And with that Remus was off to do what it was that he was supposed to be doing.
Sirius was indeed doing his job and despite doing divinely in fending off anyone that came near him(or Harry), Sirius's mind was somewhere else. He was busy pondering upon the events of that last couple of minutes.
He should be dead. He should have been hit by that Killing Curse. And he should have died.
...But he didn't....because Remus pushed him out of the way. And then he just dashed off like it was the most casual thing in the world. Even Remus couldn't be that modest...could he? The thought of his friend dwindled in his thoughts as he knocked out the last death eater, and along with Harry, met up with the rest of the gang to make their escape.
The thought of the single push that had saved his life.
So what did you guys think? Should I continue or not? Because If I do continue this is eventually going to turn to Sirius and/or Lupin taking Harry in and how things would have turned out differently if Sirius hadn't died. So you, my loving kind reviewer, tell me =]
This is just a little something that came up the other day while I was watching Order of The Phoenix(for like the hundreth time)with my older brother. When it was up to the Sirius death scene I was all "You know I hate how distanced Lupin and Sirius come out to be in the movies" and my brother was all "Yeah, and they didn't show how he reacted to Sirius's death either. Hell he was like right there! I mean if he was close enough to grab Harry the second Sirius fell through the viel then he was definately close enough to push Sirius out of the way of Bellatrix's curse?" And then it hit me XD
Man I love my brother =]
Please review!!!
