'Terrible thing. Never thought that there will be an attack near Hogwarts. Especially since Albus is just in Honeydukes,' 'Anything can happen, Millicent,' 'Yes, but this is very shocking, You-Know-Who hasn't struck for a whole month. The Ministry thought that You-Know-Who was defeated,' 'Voldemort was never defeated until the right person come, Millicent,'
Voldemort...Defeated...Albus...Wait, Albus? Alexandra's eyes snapped open.
She was laying on a very comfortable bed in a brightly lit room. She heard gasps and heard Albus Dumbledore's voice,' Alexandra? Can you hear me?' Alexandra sat up and saw that several Aurors, Professor Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic surrounding her bed.
A million questions immediately burst out of her mouth, 'Sir, why are there Aurors? Where am I? Why is the Minister here? Why are YOU here? What is the terrible thing? Who-' Dumbledore held up a hand and motioned the Aurors to leave. The Minister also left.
Dumbledore sat down and smiled, 'Let me explain. The Aurors are here because there was a Voldemort attack.' Alexandra's mouth dropped open. 'Professor!' she said, 'I think that Voldemort is controlling Regulus Black!'
Dumbledore leaned back as Alexandra continued, 'It was about a quarter past ten when Sirius and I arrived at Shrieking Shack. We were there for just a few minutes when Regulus Black come. His eyes flashed scarlet for a moment and then I cried "Protego!". We started battling. A Killing Curse or something hit Sirius and his shield shattered. After that, I must have gone mad because I had my Patronus charge at Regulus and then there was an explosion and I fainted.'
Dumbledore thought for a moment, then smiled grimly, 'Well, Miss Arlington, I have to inform you that you invented a new spell,' Alexandra gasped. 'You have invented a Killing Curse,' 'You mean...' 'Yes, the "Expecto Patronum" is no other Patronus. It's a Killing Patronus. It can create a huge explosion and it saved you and Mr Black's life.' 'But why would I conjunct a Killing Curse without meaning to?' 'Ah, because you're desperate. Desperation led you to invent this spell,'
Alexandra pondered about it for a minute or two and shook her head, 'I'll name it the Patronum Killing Curse, but...' Her eyes suddenly lit up, 'But if I used the Killing Curse, does that mean Voldemort is finished?' 'No, no, I'm afraid. The damage was done mostly to Mr Regulus,' 'Damn it,' thought Alexandra.
Dumbledore merely smiled and said, 'Why don't you visit Mr Black? He has been awake half an hour ago.' Alexandra nodded.
Sirius was laying in bed, wondering if Alexandra is dead or not. Suddenly the door flew open. Alexandra lept onto Sirius's bed. 'Sirius!' she cried. Sirius was so shocked that his eyes were wide open. Alexandra kissed him full on the mouth, and he responded enthusiastically.
As Sirius's tongue opened Alexandra's mouth with ease, as his tongue explored her mouth, Alexandra could feel him shaking uncontrollably. Alexandra closed her eyes and recalled how upset she was when she thought that Sirius was dead.
Outside the room, Albus Dumbledore chuckled as the couple kissed. The Voldemort attack let the couples love each other more. At least that's one good thing about those attacks, he thought, as his attention turned to the window of St. Mungo. Snowflakes are twirling and swirling as they made their way to Earth. Winter, has finally come.
