The Sixth Year

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing. If I did Harry would not be with Ginny….. Anyway rating for language. Harry with OC. If you don't like, DON'T READ!!!! It's simple really.

Chapter One

Sirius fell through the veil, the last ghost of a smile still on his face.

"Sirius!"I yelled. I ran up to the veil and expected him to fall through the other side at any moment. A few tears had escaped my sea grey eyes. I realized Sirius, my father, was gone for good. Momentarily I lost my reason to live or thought I had. Then I went numb, my feelings null. I barely registered the feeling of having strong arms wrapped around my waist. I kicked and lashed about thinking it was a Death Eater. Then I felt round glasses pressed into my back.

"It's okay Kathlina I won't hurt you. C'mon let's get out of here the battle is almost over," Harry's voice was barely a whisper, as if he didn't want to frighten me.

I tried to walk, but my legs were weak. I looked up into Harry's eyes and saw how I felt mirrored in them, tears barely held back. He must have noticed my pleading look; he gently scooped me into his arms like he did after the Triwizard Tournament, holding me close to his chest.

We quickly ran out of the room where many fought, and soon found ourselves in the atrium. Where, unfortunately, Lord Voldemort was waiting for us. I really hate that man, it's his fault I will never see Sirius again. God, this is gonna suck. Suddenly my scar hurt and I could tell Harry's did too by the way we sank to the floor.

I quickly grasped my wand, ready to fight.

"Why if it isn't Potter and Black, running away again? Come now, I thought you were more heroic than that. Was losing Black too much? Oh well, I suppose I should just kill you both now, save myself the trouble later. Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort yelled. I gasped as Harry rolled on top of me and ducked as the curse sailed over our heads. At this point I was close to blacking out.

"Harry," I sighed and let the black engulf me. The last thing I heard was Harry's yelling of my name and Moonshadow's yowl as she headed straight for the snake-like bastard.

I was staring at Harry crouching over me. Then it hit me. I was in Voldemort's head. I heard him yelling. I saw Dumbledore running in and shooting spells. I could hear nothing, so I decided to just watch. It was interesting really. I could feel what he was feeling and somewhere I knew my head was hurting like hell, but all I could do was wait it out. Then I saw Harry crouching over a body, my body, in a protective way. A rush of love and affection surged into my head, clouding all other thoughts. My head started hurting worse and I blacked out again.

I opened my eyes to find Harry standing over me and my head hurting. Harry's eyes were filled with worry as he softly kissed me and proceeded to check over me for wounds. Once he finished he came to stand over me, his green eyes damp. He picked me up and gently and cradled me against his chest. I could feel moisture on the top of my head, and even though Harry had a good grip against me, I managed to get my hands around to rub his back soothingly and mutter nonsense words of comfort. Just then a severe pang of pain hit and I whimpered.

"I know it hurts love. I can feel it too. It will all be over soon. The ministry saw him. Voldemort, I mean. They admit he's back. Merlin, when you blacked out I was terrified," Harry said, clutching me tighter. I felt Moonshadow nuzzling against us and rubbed her head. "Can you walk Kathlina? Dumbledore wants us in his office."

I nod numbly, the events of the evening catching up with me. We walk over to the floo; Harry had his arm around my waist and was supporting most of my weight. Harry went first and I went, shakily after.

When I came through I stumbled and if Harry hadn't caught me I would've landed face first. Luckily he grabbed me around my waist and pulled me and my 5'9" height into his strong 6'4" frame, resting his chin on my head. He led me gently to a chair and helped me sit just as the head master entered the room.

Harry's anger blew. I sat there and watched numbly as he ranted, yelled and threw things. Dumbledore tried to calm him down and eventually he did calm. Then he finally noticed me sitting numbly with Moonshadow in my lap. He practically ran over and said, "C'mon let's get you back to the dormitory. I'll carry you."

When we got back to the dorm, I changed into a nightgown and crawled under Harry's covers to find his strong, comforting arms around me. The tears that I had been holding back spilled and soon I was sobbing uncontrollably. Harry just held me and whispered comforting words and rubbed my back.

When I finished crying he got up and got a cloth, with it he gently wiped my face. He laid me down so I was facing him and held me tight to his chest.

"I love you," Harry said softly, caressing my face.

"I love you too," I returned, running a hand through his hair. He looked at Moonshadow sleeping on the end of the bed and kissed me gently, as if afraid of breaking me further. With that I dropped off into a nightmare filled sleep.
