Chapter XXV

The Anbu Pair

Anyone could feel the foreboding feeling resting upon the three students in the hospital wing. They all sat in silence around two beds and none of them said a word. Sasuke glanced over at Harry. He was no longer as calm as he had been before. Now that his godfather was gone too the true meaning of what was happening began to sink in. He'd been betrayed. Deidara and Hidan, they weren't really his friends and neither was Sasori.

Sasori, Harry had barely known him. He had thought that in some way they had got along. But maybe that was only his own opinion. He hadn't known them at all in the end. They were criminals, murderers and had probably had a mask on all year. Harry clenched his fists, beginning to quiver with anger. Sasuke leaned back slightly waiting for the raven to loose it. It came.

"Why are we just sitting here?! We have to go and help Sirius!" Harry yelled jumping from his chair as it crashed to the floor.

"We can't just go storming into the ministry Harry. We have to think this through and you can't go on your own. You need help." Sasuke shot back gesturing towards Ron and Hermione who were still asleep on their beds. As if in response the two stirred but remained asleep.

"'You?' What do you mean 'you'? Aren't you coming with us Sasuke?" Harry frowned as Sasuke averted his gaze.

"Why?" Harry shouted once again. "They're all there we need to fight." He persisted.

"But they're not." Luna mumbled causing Harry to drop his frown.

"What?" He asked curtly.

"They aren't all at the ministry." She mumbled once again. "One of them is still here." Harry dropped onto Ron' bed in defeat. What he didn't see was that he dropped right onto his friends legs.

"Oooooww!" Ron wailed in agony, waking instantly. Harry jumped in surprise but Sasuke paid them no attention.

"Who's still here Luna?" He pressed.

"I…I don't know." She stammered. Harry smiled as he saw both of his friends wake. After an exchange of fights between Ron and Hermione they were all up again.

The walk back to the forest was hasty and no one wasted their breath on talking. Luna led the way skipping through the forest. The Golden Trio glanced at each other in confusion. Where was she taking them? It was then that the trees began to grow further apart. There was more space and obvious foot prints were marked into the dry ground. Luna smiled and whistled serenely.

"Oh," Hermione let out a small squeak when she felt something move past her. Luna put out her hand and whispered.

"You won't be able to see them," Then it clicked.

"We're going to fly to the ministry." She asked giddily to Sasuke. He smiled but shook his head.

"If one of them is still here I have to stay." Sasuke stated. They all wanted to protest.

"I saw blonde…." Luna mumbled. Sasuke looked at her sadly. She smiled and took his hand reassuringly. "If its Naruto you must stay." The Golden Trio nodded in agreement.

"Good Luck Sasuke." Hermione and Ron grinned. Sasuke's mouth twisted a bit, it was almost a smile. Then he turned to Harry.

"Ron, Hermione I'll help you find a thestral." Luna almost sang as she dragged them away from the two boys. (Men? I don't know xD)

"Sasuke, I'm not saying goodbye. Not now. I'll just say good luck." Harry grinned. "You know Naruto better than anyone." Sasuke nodded.

"Good luck to you too. Oh and Harry, Deidara fights with explosives. Sasori poisons you; don't ever let him or any of his weapons near to you. One touch can be fatal."

"What about Hidan?" Harry breathed.

"I don't know. But be careful."

"Of course!" Harry grinned. And for the first time he saw it. Sasuke smiled, a genuine smile.

"See you around Sasuke."

The ministry didn't do much for heating. The temperature in the department of mysteries must have been several degrees below zero. The Golden Trio walked closely together and Luna trailed behind them dreamily. Every shelf was lined with those glass orbs. Every now and then Harry would think he glimpsed a familiar name but would brush it off.

"What are all these." Ron mumbled.

"They're prophecies." Hermione murmured looking at her surroundings. "That's what this place is called…the Hall of Prophecies." Ron looked at her blankly but something caught his eye.

"They should be here." Harry shouted looking around desperately. Ron wasn't listening. He began to reach for the glowing orb above him but he was shoved back.

"Don't touch that!" Hermione exclaimed. Ron looked at her in confusion.

"Only the person who the prophecy is about can remove it from the shelf." Luna provided.

"But…it has Harry's name on it." Ron answered. Harry who was now in a mad panic snapped out of it to look at Ron.

"What?" Ron pointed at the shelf.

S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D

Dark Lord

and (?)Harry Potter

"Bloody hell." He murmured. He reached out and took the orb of the shelf. Several things happened at the same time. The prophecy slipped out of his hand, his friends yelped and before Harry knew it. He was surrounded by Death Eaters.

The prophecy flew up into the air and was smoothly caught by Deidara. He smirked. Harry gasped in realization, his eyes searched frantically.

"Where is Sirius?" He demanded when his eyes met with Deidara's. The blonde grinned evilly.

"Don't you think its weird that the one who saw the vision was you and not Luna-chan." Harry growled.

"You tricked me." Deidara laughed as he chucked the prophecy to Hidan who caught it with ease.

"Of course."

(I'm going backwaaarrds, backwards backwards in tiiiiimmmme)

Sasuke watched the thestrals disappear into the distance. His thoughts lingering on what Harry had said "You know Naruto better than anyone." He sighed.

"If I know him so well then where would he go?" He muttered to himself. Harry had once mentioned a mirror. It showed your true desires. Naruto had been completely awed by this. 'Erised it is' he thought before twisting his heal and returning to the castle.

When Sasuke reached the room it was empty. But sure enough the mirror was there. He frowned and walked towards the centre. It struck him that for one measly mirror they had chosen a rather big room. Surely the room could have been used for something else but that was beside the point. Naruto wasn't here. Or was he?

Sasuke stood in front of the mirror and waited for what he expected to appear. The mirror didn't disappoint him. Sasuke's form slowly faded into Naruto's. The Uchiha reached out and ran his fingertips across the surface. Naruto was smiling softly back at him. The blonde mirrored his actions. (it's a mirror duh xD)

He dropped his hand. 'Get a grip Sasuke' He murmured to himself. It wasn't the right time to be going mushy. Footsteps brought him from his thoughts. He turned back to the door as it slowly creaked open. Sasuke turned around catching the blonde hair first. But it was the wrong hairstyle.

"Oh you got here before me, un" His deep voice echoed across the room.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke snarled. Dammit they'd got the wrong blonde. A smirk spread across Deidara's face.

"Did you really think we'd leave you alone with Kyuu, un? The one you'll be fighting…" Deidara reached to unbutton his revealing a rather familiar bag. "Is me."

Before Sasuke could even react the blonde pressed his hands together and bellowed "Katsu!" Behind him there was a large explosion as the mirror of Erised shattered to pieces. Along with Sasuke's vision….along with Naruto.

For the slow people of you I must explain. One of the Deidara's is fake. I wonder which? I haven't really decided yet xD

I hope you like and sorry for the shortness of it all. But the next one will be action I don't think I can avoid it anymore. Thanks for the patience. I think we're looking at 28 chapters and an epilogue….maybe
