Don't own anything, blah, blah, blah... Sorry I haven't updated... but the story's coming to a close. i think there'll only be one more chapter after this...
I nodded slightly, and Hermione, Ron, and Harry led her out at wand point. "Byakuya, make sure she doesn't do anything rash."
He nodded and just before they left Harry said, "They had Padfoot in the place where it's hidden!"
"What is he talking about, Professor?"Umbridge questioned.
"I haven't the slightest idea." Severus said, and the Minister left.
"He thinks they have Sirius in the Department of Mysteries." I said, and Severus nodded. I sent a Hell Butterfly to inform Byakuya, Rukia, Ishida, and Sakura, and told them to keep Harry and company here. I was in my office when Byakuya, Ishida, and Sakura with Rukia dragged the Golden Trio into my office.
"Let me tell you, Voldemort does not have Sirius, it was a fake vision. He wants you to go to the Department of Mysteries."
Then Albus, Remus, Sirius, Mad-eye, Kingsley, Tonks, joined us, and I said, "We're going to the Ministry, but we're going prepared. I want you three to go ahead with a couple from Dumbledore's Army, I say Ginny, Luna, Neville, and you three."
They nodded, and I said, "The rest of us will be a few minutes behind you. I will be with you, but hidden unless I need to show myself to make sure you don't kill yourself."
They nodded yet again, and I said, "Harry, use the Thestrals, they're damn fast."
He grinned and they left. "You know what to do. Come on out, Zangetsu."
The katana turned into the cleaver, and I focused a little more Reiatsu into it, so it was bigger than before.
"Isn't that heavy?"Sirius pointed to the over-sized butcher's knife.
I handed it to Sirius, and it took him, Remus, and Severus to lift it, and they barely got it off the floor. I held it in my one hand, and examined it, "No, not at all. After 200 years of fighting with this, it gets lighter."
I put Zangetsu on my back like I did when I was younger, and said, "The weight feels comforting on my back."
I left, and I shadowed Harry and group on their way to the Ministry. When they got there I followed them as closely as I could and when the Death Eaters showed u pi didn't interfere. When they had the kids cornered though, I stepped in, my katana resealed on my hip. "Lucius, step away from the boy."
"You're the new Headmistress in Hogwarts."
He spat, and I said, "So what if I am?"
"Kill her."
He ordered, and they shot several Killing Curses at me. I blocked them all. I had knocked them all out except Lucius before anyone could blink and I said, "Harry smash the prophecy, you know what it says, but prophecies can by changed."
He nodded and threw it at the floor. It shattered, and Lucius yelled, "NO!"
He aimed his wand at me, and then I said, "RUN!"
We all took off and fell through a door. We were about to hit the floor, and I grabbed everyone. One of the professors cast a cushioning spell, and we landed. We stood, and were surrounded by Death Eaters. The Order showed up, and I focused on destroying the Senkaimon. "Getsuga Tensho!"
I aimed it at the gate, and it crumbled. I saw Sirius about to get hit by a curse, and I blocked it with my 'pig sticker.' Sirius resumed his fight with Bellatrix and once everybody but a few were incapacitated, the three remaining, Lucius, Bellatrix, and another I didn't know, I followed with Harry and I said, "If Voldemort invades your mind, let Zangetsu in so he can defend against it."
Harry nodded, and when we got up, only Bellatrix was left and Harry said, "Cursio!"
It didn't hurt her much and Voldemort and I said at the same time, "You have to mean it, Harry."
Then I said, "Like so." I pointed at her, "Cursio!"
She convulsed on the floor, and I continued, knowing full well she deserved it.
Then Voldemort appeared and I said, "Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro!"
Bella was trapped and Voldemort moved towards us. "Hado #31: Shakkaho!"
I heard Harry say, and I was proud he used Kido. Shakkaho was his best Kido, and it smashed into Voldemort through the spell he put up. I thumped Harry on the back, who grinned. Albus appeared and engaged Voldemort, and after a minute Voldemort disappeared, and I said, "Zangetsu!"
Harry got it, and opened up his mind, letting Voldemort and Zangetsu in. Zangetsu fought to push Voldemort out, and Harry was convulsing. I knew I had to let him fight through it on his own, so I dragged Bella over, and broke the Kido. "Cursio!"
She fell to the floor, and I said, "How do you think the Longbottoms felt, Bella?"
I spat her name, and Neville appeared with everybody else. "This is for all the people you tortured, and that can't hurt you back!"
I intensified the curse, and she let out a scream. I had a new experience for me. I was thrown into the future, 'How does this feel?!' I saw Bella had Hermione pinned, and was cutting the word Mudblood into her forearm. I heard Hermione's scream, and was thrown back into the past. I grabbed my head, and fell to my knees, but held the curse. Voldemort was standing in a duel with Harry, and the entire Ministry showed up. Fudge saw Voldemort, and said, "He's back."
Before Voldemort disappeared; I looked at Bella and said, "I just saw what will happen in the future if I let you go. In two years you capture Ollivander, Harry, and Neville. You had Hermione and was cutting the word Mudblood in her arm. Those screams will haunt me!"
Bella managed to raise her arm, and she fired multiple Killing Curses at me and Harry. They hit me, I managed to block the ones at Harry, get one that killed her, and then I fell forward. I stumbled forward, and ignored the broken glass everywhere. I fell forward, and collapsed in front of Albus. I kept a grip on my sword, but it slackened when I passed out from pain. I could hear muffled conversation, and I struggled to open my eyes, but it was like I had lead weights on my eyelids. My throat felt like sandpaper, and I struggled to move. It felt someone had replaced my veins with steel. I managed to open my eyes, and saw Rukia, Byakuya, Minerva, Albus, Severus, and Madame Pomfrey looking at me worriedly. I managed to sit up, refusing help, and grabbed a glass of water from the side table. I knew from experience to drink slowly, and I felt loads better when I had drained the glass.
I looked up and said, "Get that look off your face, Sev. Worry doesn't suit you."
They sighed in relief, and Rukia said, "She's definitely okay."
I looked hurt, "Did you think I wouldn't be?"
Hermione, Neville, Fred, George, and the rest of the group surrounded me, and Hermione kissed my cheek. "Was that true? What you said about Bellatrix?"
I nodded, and she said, "I'm glad you killed her!"
She hugged me and kissed me one more time. "You better get off, you'll make Byakuya jealous. You've seen how possessive he can be. Besides, you have Krum."
She blushed, and stood. Then Ginny attacked me, "Don't worry us so much!"
"Does Molly know?" She nodded, and I groaned.
I heard the doors burst open and a worried-sick Molly Weasley hurried in with Percy and Arthur. I questioned Percy's presence, but then Molly was upon me. She swatted my head, and said, "NEVER worry me like that again!"
She squeezed me, and when she let go I rubbed my head and said, "217 years old and you still manage to make me feel like a scolded child."
Everyone laughed, and I said, "How many Killing Curses hit me?"
"About 15."
I nodded, pointed at Harry, and said, "I beat your record, Boy-Who-Lived!"
Everyone sweatdropped, and I said, "What is Percy doing here?"
"The Minister saw you take the Curses for Harry, and he saw you were still alive after they hit you, and he wanted to thank you for killing the Death Eater, and he said to apologize about sending Dolores here. She is currently in St. Mungo's in the Psych Ward due to trauma dealing with centaurs and giants."
He left, and I burst out laughing. I stood, wobbled a little, and fell back into Byakuya's arms. He guided me back to the bed, and said, "The end of year feast is this tonight."
"Yo Albus, do you want your position back?"
"Yes, thank you." I nodded, and stood again despite everybody's and my body's protests.
"Just call me if you need my, okay?" They nodded, and we went back to the Seireitei. We had a peaceful two years, Sakura made it to Third Seat, because she didn't want to take Isane's position.
Thanks for hanging with me!
