Chapter 34 – Escape:
The Death Eater who had saved Lily's life was still trying to take the wand from Voldemort's grasp and tackling him to the ground. Lily took advantage of the situation and crawled over to get her wand before crawling over Harry, her arm just hanging limply and painfully by her side.
"Finite!" whispered Lily, pointing her wand at Harry, taking the Body Bind Curse off of him. Harry immediately jumped to his feet and hugged her tightly. She was almost whimpering with the pains in her arm, but of course, she was not crying.
"I'm sorry," whispered Harry as he ripped off the sleeve of his robe and wrapped it gently around Lily's arm. Lily rolled her eyes, but did not say anything. They both knew that the feeble piece of cloth was not going to do anything to help a multiple break in the bones of her arm, but she knew it was the thought that counted.
Once Lily's arm was secure, Harry pulled her to her feet with her good arm and they looked up to see the Death Eaters attacking the one Death Eater whom had saved Lily's life. Harry dashed over to Eddie and tried to revive him as Lily slowly and curiously watched what was going on before her. She fully did not understand what exactly was going on. Lily simply watched in awe as the Death Eaters managed to pull that one Death Eater off of Voldemort and had him facing his Master.
"Lucius?" Voldemort hissed at the Death Eater who had saved her life. He continued to try fighting off of the Death Eaters. "What are you doing, saving that girl? You're betraying me and if anyone hates the Potters, it is you and your family!"
Lily's jaw dropped and her eyes widened. Malfoy? Lucius Malfoy? The head of the Malfoy family? He had saved her? This did not make any sense at all. Harry was so shocked at the thought that he momentarily forgot to continue waking Eddie. Neither one of the Potters could understand why Lucius Malfoy would save Lily Potter, or any Potter for that matter? It just did not make sense.
Lucius, who was still wearing his mask, did not say anything but finally lost his energy and stopped fighting off his fellow Death Eaters and just continued to stare at Voldemort. That was when Harry remembered that Lucius was the Death Eater who had killed Sirius. The only reason that Harry was not raising his wand to kill Lucius was because the man had just saved Lily's life and betrayed Voldemort.
"Lucius?" Voldemort hissed warningly, and he sounded strangely like a snake, sending chills down Lily's spine. "Answer me!"
Lucius Malfoy did not say anything; but stood staring at Voldemort in complete and utter silence. Voldemort, clearly infuriated with his follower strode forward and tore the mask off of Lucius's face. To everyone's astonishment, the face underneath the mask did not belong to Lucius Malfoy, but was revealed to be a man with dark black hair which was graying severely, ice blue eyes, and a permanent haunted look on his face.
It was the face of Sirius Black.
Harry wanted to scream with joy, fear, and amazement, but his throat seemed to be jammed and he could only sputter and cough. Lily actually did scream, covering her mouth with her hands as her eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of her head. She whipped around, painfully straining her neck as she shot Harry a look that said 'You told me he was dead!' Harry stopped trying to revive Eddie and carefully scooted over to Lily's side.
"Eyeluta," he whispered urgently in her ear. "Perform Eyeluta. It will help take the distraction away from Sirius. It might save us."
"Perform it with me," whispered Lily.
"I would, but I don't know how," said Harry honestly. Lily nodded and closed her eyes. Harry could feel the wind around them begin to pick up, blowing their hair roughly through the wind. Harry watched in amazement as Lily's power began to pick up. Finally, Lily opened her eyes and screamed out "Valor!" The light was as bright as Harry had ever seen it and it was blinding emerald green; it was so blinding that Harry actually had to cover his eyes with his arm to block then from the light. From behind closed eyes, Harry heard grunts of pain, stumbles, sighs, and people falling to the ground.
After about a blinding minute, the light from Lily's eyes seemed to die down. Harry uncovered his eyes as both he and Lily surveyed the scene before them. Everyone, except Sirius was on the ground unconscious, even Voldemort. Harry could not believe how strong her Eyeluta had been and Harry looked at her in concern. Lily ignored Harry and turned to look at Sirius for a minute.
"You're alive," she whispered but her eyes rolled into the back of her head, her legs giving out from underneath her, and she fainted. Harry jumped forward and caught her before she hit the ground.
"Lily?" Harry asked urgently as he gently lowered her to the ground. Sirius dashed over to them and took Lily from Harry's arms and began cradling her head. Harry was still bent over her face, looking at it anxiously. "Lily? Sirius, what's wrong with her?"
"She used up all her energy by performing that strong of an Eyeluta," explained Sirius softly, not taking his eyes off of Lily's sleeping face. "The more powerful it is, the more energy it takes out of you. That's why you died when you tried performing it on Voldemort. You made it so powerful that you were weak against the Killing Curse."
"I performed that Eyeluta to save you didn't I?" Harry asked quietly; though one could not be sure if he was speaking to Sirius or himself. Sirius closed his eyes, as though he were suddenly in pain and nodded slowly.
"You did," said Sirius, nodding. "Though I don't understand why you did. You probably would have survived if you hadn't."
"I know…I understand…" stated Harry confidently. Sirius looked up at him curiously and Harry took a shaky breath before continuing. "Sirius, I never had a father. Sure, James Potter was my biological father and I know that he loved me. I mean, he sacrificed himself for me and my mum, and I love him with all my heart. But, Sirius, you were my father. You looked after me…you cared about me. You were the father I never had, even if you couldn't be there for me all the time. I'm starting to get the idea that you provide that same love and comfort for Lily and you can't imagine how much that means to me. I must have done it because I love you, Padfoot.
"When I thought you died tonight, I felt like something was ripped from me; like a part of me died. You're a part of me Sirius and if you die, a part of me dies," explained Harry as he chanced a look at his godfather. His stomach squirmed when he saw that Sirius had tears in his eyes. He gently rested Lily's head on the ground and pulled Harry into the tightest hug he had ever felt in his life; it was even more comforting than the one Mrs. Weasley had given him at the end of his fourth year, at the end of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry took the emotions in for a moment before giving in and hugging his godfather back.
"You thought I died tonight?" inquired Sirius when they broke apart.
"Yeah, I heard you scream," said Harry, the memory making him shiver in fear. "Then I saw the green light of the Killing Curse."
"I told you, Harry, I could take care of myself," said Sirius, grinning at his godson.
"Well, what happened?"
"When I saw you leave the dungeon, I knew it was safe to take action. But, before I could do anything, Lucius Malfoy came in and put the Cruciatus Curse on me. That must have been the scream that you heard. In defense, I took out my wand and muttered the Killing Curse. It killed Lucius Malfoy and a few other Death Eaters. I stunned the others, despite my weakness, before they could escape and tell Voldemort, or worse, find you three. I switched clothes with Malfoy and took out his mask. I tried to keep my cover in order to protect you three but when Voldemort was about to kill Lily, I lost it."
"You killed Lucius Malfoy?" asked Harry, sounding panicked. "Sirius…you…you could go back to Azkaban!" To his surprise, Sirius simply smiled.
"A lot of things change in twenty-one years, Harry," said Sirius, a little condescendingly. "You're allowed to use them in self-defense." Harry sighed and nodded in understanding, though still not content with the idea of Sirius killing wizards or witches; even if they were Death Eaters.
"Sirius, can we get out of here?" asked Harry, biting his lip and looking at the unconscious Voldemort. Sirius nodded as Harry picked up Lily with one arm beneath her knees and the other under her back. Sirius followed Harry's actions and picked up Eddie, having much difficult due to his height.
"How are we going to get out of here? I can't Apparate…"
"Side-Along Apparation," Sirius said simply. "As long as you have a firm hold on me, you'll Apparate with me. Now, grab on to me and keep a strong hold on Lily, okay?" Sirius flung Eddie over his shoulder.
"Of course."
Sirius walked over to Harry and placed his free hand on Harry's shoulder. They next thing Harry felt was his feet being pulled off the ground and felt tons of pressure against his body, as though he were being sucked through a rubber tube. He kept his eyes shut tight as he landed with a thud in the village of Hogsmeade.
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ron Weasley was pacing his wife's office anxiously. His red hair was in disarray and all color had since drained from his face with the exception of his freckles.
Remus and Hermione were also in the office, but were trying to be useful instead of just pacing the office. The two members of the Hogwarts staff were sending frantic owls to the Ministry, telling them of the attack and the disappearances of Lily, Harry, Eddie, and Sirius. The only other person who was in the office was Severus Snape, who stood by the window, looking out on to the grounds as he leaned against his cane and frowning.
"Would you stop pacing Weasley?" Snape snapped angrily, finally tearing his eyes off of the grounds. "It's infuriating and it is not helping the situation at all. It will not help you find your son!" At those words, Hermione just busted out into hysterical tears. Remus shot Snape a dirty look and immediately put a comforting arm around her as tears formed in his own eyes. Ron, on the other hand, was too busy angrily rounding on Snape to notice.
"Shove it, Snape. I will find my son-" His voice broke off as he turned away, facing the entrance to the office and let silent tears fall.
"They've been gone for over two days," said Hermione through her sobs. Ron walked over to her, pulled her out of her office chair, and hugged her tightly while patting her curly brown hair. She sobbed into his shoulder as she clutched on to his robes as he kissed the top of her head.
"I'll be okay, Hermione," whispered Ron soothingly. "I'm sure they're just fine. Sirius would die before he ever let anything happen to them. Eddie and Lily have always looked out for each other. And there is nothing that would stop Harry from protecting them. They'll protect each other without question, Hermione. Please try not to worry…"
Ron was not sure if he was saying all of this to comfort himself or Hermione more, but deep down, he knew that they these words were true. Ron knew that all of them would try all that they could to take care of each other. So instead of saying anything else, he settled for hugging his wife tighter as she sobbed harder into his robes.
Remus, on the other hand, was in complete distress. Unlike Hermione, he did not take comfort in Ron's words. He knew that they would all take care of each other facing Voldemort, but he was still not a fool. He was not an idiot. Remus fully understood how powerful and evil Voldemort was and would not hesitate to kill of them with a single Killing Curse. He sighed and placed his elbows on the desk, gripping his graying hair. The elder werewolf was getting too old for all of this. First, Lily was hit with the Sueno Curse, and he was out for almost two weeks from shock at the thought of her dying in such a horrible manner. Every single day he thanked the heavens that she was alive and well when he had awoken up. Now, she, Harry, Eddie, and Sirius were kidnapped by Death Eaters and none of them knew where they had been taken or what would become of them.
It was also common knowledge to Remus that it was not planned for Sirius to be kidnapped. Sirius most likely attacked a Death Eater as he Apparated while trying to keep Lily safe. Remus knew that it was something that Sirius would do; step in the pit of danger. Remus figured that he probably wanted to be taken along so that he could protect Lily and Eddie, and even Harry, though he knew Sirius would never admit to that. Finally, Ron broke his thoughts.
"C'mon, sweet heart let's go to the Ministry ourselves, explain the situation, and see if they found anything," whispered Ron into Hermione's ear.
"There's no need for that Weasley," Snape stated as he turned to face the window and stare at the grounds. Ron, Hermione, and Remus all looked at him confused. Ron was just so frustrated and infuriated with this man that he almost blew up at him, but;
"They're already here," Snape stated again, almost in a sigh. He pointed to the window with his cane looking weary. Ron, Hermione, and Remus looked at each other and then dashed to the window, gently pushing Snape out of the way, looking out of it frantically for any signs of Harry, Lily, Eddie, or Sirius.
Hermione gasped with joy when she saw Sirius carrying Eddie over his shoulder and Harry cradling Lily as they came out of the village of Hogsmeade and towards the castle.
A note from the Jitterbelle. Another revised chapter updated and posted. I was suffering from severe writer's block when I wrote these chapters and I hope they're still up to par because I can't change them without drastically changing the story. Please enjoy and don't forget to review!
Coming in Chapter 35 - There is no way to send Harry back to his time…
