Chapter 2 / The tears of sorrow

.

"Remus! We need you! Right now!" Exclaimed suddenly Alastor Moody with his rough voice.

Neither Sirius nor Remus knew what was going on. They exchanged one confused look but reacted to the next set of words.

"Harry's at the ministry and Death Eaters are pursuing him. Come quickly!" Two old friends didn't hesitate for a second they grabbed their wands then cloaks and were ready to go.

"Not you, Padfoot. It's very likely that Aurors show up and target you too. This is madness you can't go to the ministry!" Screamed Tonks with reddish flaming shade of hair from behind Alastor.

"I'm going too, with or without you," said the black haired man whose locks were pulled to a tiny ponytail.

"Sirius, don't be a fool, this…" Remus's voice quietened when Sirius disconnected their firecall. He couldn't understand his friend at the moment. Sirius was acting weird for a long time now and didn't talk to his godson at all except for saying 'hi'.

"What's going on?" Asked Remus finally, afraid of the answer.

"I love him… that's what I wanted to tell you today. I drove him away from myself because of others what would they even think? But I can't pretend anymore and I don't want him to get hurt!" Explained Sirius so suddenly his long-time supressed tears couldn't even appear for all the fear and distress ha was feeling.

"Who-" Remus suddenly started to doubt hit best friends sanity. "Who the hell are you talking about?" Asked Remus, he was completely at loss but when he saw that sorrowful expression on Sirius' face as if it hit him.

Those two were constantly asking how was the other fairing, they didn't talk to each other but it was clear as a day… how could he have missed that? He was practically their indirect telephone line!

"Harry?" Whispered Remus full of dread of the upcoming truth.

"Yes but come now, we're already late," muttered quietly the ex-prisoner and restored the connection with the Order. He stepped through the fireplace while ignoring all of the insults coming his way, Remus followed him.

…

Everywhere he looked ruled pure chaos and screams could be heard from every direction but his mind was completely cut of the ongoing events except for… Harry who was standing face to face with Lucius, his friends in the clutches of other Death Eaters.

The Order members barged in and Sirius claimed the place next to Harry. "Sirius!" The boy exclaimed joyfully and hugged his godfather. Neither of them experienced this for a while… they felt save, happy and contained.

They couldn't wallow in this comfort forever unfortunately.

"Harry!" Replied Sirius excitedly and pressed that young body to his chest quickly.

He snapped out of that dreamy embrace rather fast, though.

"Now's not the time we need to fight!" Added Sirius full of sorrow and let his godson out of his arms. After that he pushed their backs together so they could protect one another. I'll protect you and you'll protect me. Flickered through his mind meanwhile he faced Lucius.

Nice one, James! Chuckled the animagus in his thoughts when Harry saved his arse from a really nasty hex.

No… This is wrong… This isn't James, this is Harry… my godson who's only fifteen! He shouldn't be here!

"We need to get out of here! You and your friends need to go somewhere safe!" Yelled Sirius suddenly and grabbed the young man's hand. He was looking around in dread and meanwhile their fingers slowly entwined Sirius found what he was looking for.

There was no hesitation on his part.

He had to save him so he forcefully dragged him to the Order members who were protecting Harry's little bunch of friends. "No! I won't leave you!" Refused the boy and clutched the cloak his godfather was wearing between his fingers.

Those two short sentences warmed Sirius' heart and made him happy but he was supposed to do what was right. He was an adult, it was his responsibility to protect him so he tried to shake his young lover's hand off.

"Watch out!" Screamed Harry out of a sudden and yanked him close as if to kiss him but it was too late.

A hex hit his back.

He recognised it immediately – the repelling charm but why?

He understood the next second because the veil was coming closer and closer. He didn't have any time and so he crashed into the archway within a few seconds. He smashed into it really badly and then fell on the ground.

Sirius was only knocked out but in the chaos of a battle… he was as good as dead.

When he regained his consciousness a few minutes later the fights have almost stopped but something wasn't right… Harry. Thought Sirius abruptly when he saw Ronald as he stands with his friends, wands at ready.

Remus was with them as well as Tonks but Harry was nowhere to be seen. "Where is he?" Demanded Sirius right after he got to that bunch even though he felt as if his head was about to split in two.

"He ran after Bellatrix somewhere in that direction, quickly," replied Remus and pushed Sirius in front of him once he was replaced at his duty to protect children by Alastor.

"Can you hear that?" Whispered the werewolf when they came through the first door.

"What?" Asked Sirius hopefully.

"Harry?" His heart jumped at that and almost stopped for a second time that day when his friend nodded. "Go! I'll catch up on you, go!" Ordered the animagi abruptly and shove Remus ahead so he would get the message.

"You're faster, don't linger here because of me, help him!" Added Sirius.

"Alright then," mumbled Remus and sprinted down the hall. Sirius could only see his back which kept still getting further and further away and he couldn't catch up. After a while Sirius passed a pile of ash not having the slightest idea those were his insane cousin's remains.

It didn't matter,

nothing mattered but Harry being save.

"Harry!" Called Sirius when he finally got to the room which was full of green light. It was hopeless his lover didn't even know he was present. "What's happening?" He aimed his question on Dumbledore once he saw Voldemort and Harry completely out of mind, hooked only on their power to kill the other.

Wands totally destroyed lay in a peaceful silence on the floor by their holders' feet. Harry and Voldemort were connected by a green beam of Avada and around them shimmered greenish energy in the shape of an oval.

"I have no idea but Death Eaters die the second they touch or hex it. It only pushes us backwards, though." Explained the headmaster he was still very weary of that thing and Death Eaters weren't stupid.

It was only a matter of time before they attacked them instead.

Their nightmare came true just then.

That green beam… the magic in it… could no longer hold on such a strain…

.

So the hexes rebounded.

.

Neither Voldemort nor Harry could have moved from the way in time so each of both hexes found their goal in the person who send it. The young man flew backwards then fell on the ground and eventually…

stopped breathing.
