Chapter Three

In early May, Harry was in Transfiguration when he got another glimpse into Voldemort's mind. He saw Sirius trapped in Voldemort's fortress being brutally tortured by the Dark Lord.

Luckily Transfiguration was the last class of the day. After it was over he raced off to Remus' office.

He entered yelling,

"Sirius was captured by Voldemort. He's being tortured. We have to save him."

Remus was understandably shook up when Harry came in yelling but he immediately jumped into action.

"Harry, you need to calm down. Before we do anything we need to confirm. This could be planted by Voldemort. Come on, we'll go to Dumbledore's office."

Remus led the way to Dumbledore's office. Once there, Harry explained what he'd see to the Headmaster.

Dumbledore looked grave when Harry finished speaking.

"My dear boy, I'm sorry you saw that but unfortunately its true. The Ministry, more specifically Auror headquarters, floo called about twenty minutes ago. Sirius was unfortunately captured while he was on duty today. The Auror department is launching a rescue operation…"

Harry interrupted,

"I want to be a part of it and before you start arguing, let me talk. Voldemort is after me. He captured Sirius to get to me so I want to save him. It's my fault he was captured."

"Harry, it's not your fault. Sirius is in a dangerous position fighting against Voldemort as it is." Remus soothed.

The Auror department had located Sirius using a tracking charm that Sirius wore.

Kingsley, who was acting Head, explained,

"We are going in to find Black then we get out. Potter stay with Tonks, no heroics. I mean it. Any questions?

When none were raised they apparatated to the location. Harry using side-along with Tonks. They found themselves in the woods outside a large fortress.

They somehow managed to make their way inside unchallenged. Following the tracking charm they found themselves in the dungeon. Harry ran to where Sirius lay unconscious chained to the wall.

They freed Sirius and tried to aparatate out but there were apparitation wards up. Suddenly they were surrounded by death-eaters. Luckily Voldemort was not among them.

Somehow they managed to get out with no casualties and killing Bellatrix Black while they were at it.

Sirius was nearly unconscious when they got him to St. Mungos. They found out alter that he had many sever symptoms of Post-Cruciatus. Not to mention numerous cuts, bruises and burns.

When he awoke he briefly revealed his experiences to them. Before he'd knew it he'd been stunned and apparatated away. Voldemort had tortured him trying to get him to reveal the Order's and the Ministry's secrets. The Auror department found out then that they'd gotten lucky. Voldemort had left only about an hour before.
