SIRIUS

"Mr. Black, and er- Mr. Black, it seems Kreacher's information is outdated. It seems under some mysterious circumstances that Mr. Malfoy escaped He Who Shall Not Be Named's imprisonment. He Who Shall Not Be Named does know about it all, but young Mr. Malfoy is alive." That was all Minnie said before tapping her wand to Severus's temple, waking him, and turning on her heel to leave.

Sly witch, she had the time-turner around her neck. Wow, that is the second time I've been saved by a formidable witch with a time-turner. That seemed too convenient but I guess I shouldn't question when nice things happen. I turned to Kreacher,

"Okay well Malfoy isn't dead so technically it's good enough for me. We need the Horcruxes and a way to destroy them. And we need to lure Voldemort somewhere I can kill him." I said after I wiped my tears.

"Listen I know Malfoy saved us but I'm not sure his living is all that significant. Unless he has progeny that's terrifying, although, I'm sure Cissy is a lovely mother," Reg said rolling his eyes, "but on the topic of Horcruxes, our lovely dark library provided two main ways to destroy one, Fiendfyre, and anything imbued with basilisk venom. Any ideas who can do either of those?" Reg finished. He looked pale.

Severus finally gathered himself and sat up, "Any chance the Headmaster can control Fiendfyre?" Severus asked looking worn.

"He would need special permission and a winning vote from the Wizengamot, this isn't something Dumbledore could just 'do' and then ask for forgiveness," Reg began, "I think basilisk venom would be easier for how crazy it sounds. Although, other than the black market, I'm not sure how to get our hands on some," He said.

"I actually might know where? Does anyone speak parseltongue?" I asked.

"I'm sure we could find a book in the library at home," Reg responded. I shuttered at the thought of us of home. "But what are you getting at, you know where the Chamber of Secrets is? What don't you know," Reg threw his head back.

"Yes, I need to show you some memories but yes my godson found it in the future and told me all about it after one of his nightmares. More like the kid's whole life was a nightmare," I said. It sounded weird but I missed Harry, it seemed selfish but I liked the Harry I left behind. I knew he would be different if brought up with James and Lily without a mass murderer trying to kill him every school year, but I'd miss that Harry, "but it seems dangerous to go into the Chamber of Secrets, we can do it but maybe we should get Dumbledore involved for this part." I said. I was almost embarrassed to consider asking Dumbledore.

"No. Kreacher can do it," Kreacher said, "Master Regulus order Kreacher to kill the basilisk and get the venom."

"Are you sure?" Reg asked.

"Yes." Was the short reply.

"Kreacher I order you to go into the Chamber of Secrets and acquire the necessary amount of basilisk venom and come back alive and uninjured," Regulus ordered with authority. Kreacher gave a nod and there was a swift pop of apparition.

Barely any time passed before Kreacher returned. Bloody elf nothing could kill him, he barely looked fazed and returned with five fangs and from the smell of it, extra basilisk scales to sell in Knockturn.

"How? How the bloody hell did you manage to kill the basilisk, collect the fangs, de-scale the bloody thing within minutes?" I asked loudly in disbelief.

Regulus recovered first, "Thank you Kreacher," he said ever so politely.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes, thank you Kreacher. But how?"

Kreacher only smiled and said, "Roosters crow Master Sirius," and handed us the fangs before he popped away.

"Mysterious bastard," I grumbled.

Regulus only rolled his eyes, "Right, so now all we have to do is destroy them I assume?" Regulus questioned.

"And then kill Voldy," I said sitting down, legs weak. We were almost there, nearly anyway.

Today was finally the day. After my trip through the godforsaken drapery, we were finally going to make Voldy mortal. Around us were Aurors because of course Dumbles couldn't stand to leave children in charge of destroying the Horcruxes, but that didn't stop us from transforming to our respective animagus forms and watching from the cover of the woods in the forbidden forest, with Remus under the cloak.

"On your count Alastor," Dumbledore projected.

"Three, two, one," Madeye counted down steadily (although I guess I shouldn't call him that since he had yet to lose his eye, thanks to me of course)

In unison, the selected Aurors and Dumbledore plunged their basilisk fangs into their respective Horcruxes.

Black smoke filled the air, screams, pain pain pain. Images of Voldemort's snake-like face from the future, flashes of memories of my painful moments. I heard James gasp, Lily scream, Remus grunt. Glad we took precautions to muffliato the area, I yelled squeezing my eyes shut. Coward. I open them, my twelve years in Azkaban all wrapped up into fleeting seconds as the smoke clears and screeching ceases.

Without a moment to recover the Aurors all disapparate, off to ambush Voldemort in his weakened state. And we, are left to rejoice. As a family.

Xx Honestly might leave this as the ending... there is an alternate ending but let's be honest I'm very much not consistent and you'll probably be waiting another 7 or so months ... which I'll be in college by then!! But maybe my writing will improve after I have creative writing next semester and I'll be inspired to add an epilogue or alternate ending!! Thank you so much for reading I appreciate you all very very very much. This is my first time writing a long story creatively and although there was no reason for me to take FOUR YEARS to write this, I am glad to have experienced it nonetheless. Thank you all, until next time! xX
