Chapter 4

        Falcore was watching Chase and Sophia since Rosalyn and Alexander were still at Phoenix Memorial.

"How are you 2 doing?" Falcore asks.

"Fine Miffer Falcon." Sophia says.

"Miffer Falcon!" Chase reaches up and Falcore picks him up.

"So you still call me Falcon?" Falcore asks.

"You are Miffer Falcon." Chase says.

"Yes, Miffer Falcon." Sophia agrees.

"You two are too old to be 1." Falcore says.

"You is old!" Chase sticks his tongue out at Falcore.

"HEY!" Falcore says and sets him down so he can run after him.

Rosalyn was sitting beside Mundungus. It was 3 hours since Alexander and Aaron had disappeared into the lab. "You have to stay alive. Just a little bit longer… My husband and his brother are working on a cure. They'll have you better soon."

"I just don't think I can hold on anymore… I've been fighting this for hours before I showed up at Hogwarts. It's going to beat me I fear." Mundungus says.

"Just a little while longer. They almost have it. Please hang on." Rosalyn pleads.

"I'll try miss. I'll definitely try." He groans and pulls his blankets up.

Alexander and Aaron are trying to figure out the pattern to give the cures in.

"Ok we have the muggle poison cures in the right order and they go first. And then don't put in the cure to the Dry Water Poison or Ever Bleeding Drink… maybe the cure to Draught Of Living Death… which does exist." Alexander pours the cure into some blood. "Perfect!"

"Ok we have to find the other correct sequence fast… we're running low on our wastable supply of cure. I do have to keep a certain minimum." Aaron says.

"Ok. Let's get to it." Alexander says.

Sirius walked up to his master. "Sir." Sirius bows low. "The traitor was allowed to escape."

"He must be re-captured." Voldemort says. "You are the only one I can trust to do this right. But we will wait to make sure he lives. Our poisoned arrow defense might have gotten him."

"Yes, my lord." Sirius kisses the hem of Voldemort's robes.

"You may go be with you wife now." Voldemort says waving him away.

Serena was waiting for him outside of the entrance.

"Hello doll." Sirius says.

"Hello love." She says.

"Do you know if our… getting out of hand has produced anything?" Sirius asks.

"If you mean did us having a 'good time' make me pregnant? No I'm not. Not sure if I can be." Serena says. "Not since the curse made the 'good time' what changes me."

"That is horrible. The name of Black deserves an Heir." Sirius says smiling at her. "But I'm just glad you're alive."

"Me too." She whispers.

Two hours and 55 minutes later Mundungus is the palest yet darkest green shivering and shaking and groaning in pain.

Alexander and Aaron rush in and start feeding cures into him. "Wait that's the wrong one!" Alexander stops Aaron and pours something else into Mundungus' mouth first.

"30 seconds." Alexander says and pours another cure down.

"Two more. 10 seconds." Alexander says. "Come on! 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2…"

"Done!" Aaron says.

Mundungus is still shivering and twitching.

"He must not have drunk the potions fast enough." Aaron said. "We didn't calculate that."

Mundungus goes pale and falls into a sleep.

"DAMN IT!" Alexander throws down the beakers he's holding and storms out of the room.

Rosalyn finds Alexander a few minutes later sitting outside of the hospital with his head in his hands.

"He's not dead yet." Rosalyn says.

"He will be. He's fallen into the deep sleep that will magnify the poisons." Alexander says.

"But most of the poisons have been cured." Rosalyn says.

"Except the one that will dehydrate him." Alexander pounds the ground. "This man does not deserve this!" Alexander walks away from Rosalyn and Disapparates with a small Pop!

Rosalyn sighs and shakes her head.

"Death Eaters are attacking! This is not a drill! I repeat stay in your common rooms the Death Eaters are attacking!" Dumbledore's voice calls over the school.

Harry however is in the corridors in his invisibility cloak and discovers that the fat lady has left the portrait for safety.

"Shit." Harry mutters.

"Hello godson!" A voice rings out from behind him but it is quite colder than the way it normally sounds.

"Sirius?"

"I am here to bring you back to Voldemort." Sirius grins at Harry. "We can be family again. And you can meet your godmother."

"Hello." A female voice says.

Harry realizes it is a livelier looking version of that Zombie girl. She grabs him and whispers in his ear. "I'm not evil… not right now. Just come with us and you'll be free before night is over."

"What are you saying my love?" Sirius asks.

"Just making him a proposition, darling." Serena says. Harry acts like he's running away and Serena stuns him. "We will give him your old cell."

"Yes. Let's give him a while before we take him to our Master." Sirius smiles. "You are smart."

"Thank you." Serena says and they take Harry to the dungeons.

She enervates him and gives him a portkey. "We're in the Riddle House. Remember that. Goodbye Harry Potter."

Harry landed in Dumbledore's office unconscious.

"Harry!" Dumbledore exclaims.

Harry groans and sits up. "Where am I? I saw Sirius… and his… wife? She saved me from staying there… Riddle house!"

"Riddle house?" Dumbledore asks.

"That's where they are." Harry says.

"Oh." Dumbledore says.

"Yeah that girl is nice… We need to get her out of there before she is the zombie she was before." Harry says.

"Is she now?" Dumbledore asks.

"You heard what I said." Harry snaps still angry with Dumbledore.

"Now Harry that is uncalled for… 20 points from Gryffindor." Dumbledore says.

"You're welcome for the information." Harry bites out and leaves.

Alexander doesn't know where he is. He didn't remember Apparating either. He wondered whether Mundungus was alright or still bad… didn't he know that already? He realized then that he was in a cell and something was clamped around his neck. His eyes widened. "Oh shit… it's the collar."

"Yes, the collar, Phoenix!' Sirius smirks walking up. "You are to be his new prince… and bring him his queen."

"No. You can't change me I'm wearing…" Alexander starts.

"This?" Sirius cuts him off holding up the amulet. "No you aren't." Sirius smirks.

Alexander's eyes widen. "Shit!"

"My thoughts exactly." Sirius says.

"You're in it deep." A female voice pipes up. It is Serena looking sort of like a Zombie again.

"Duh." Alexander says. "How'd I end up here when I never Apparated?"

"Hid a portkey in your pocket and it took you away. Now the traitor will die and we have our prince." Sirius says.

"You're making a big mistake. If I'm evil I'm not just gonna settle. I'm gonna overthrow your master. I'm gonna kill you all… I'm too powerful to turn evil!" Alexander looks around frantically.

"Nice try. Our master said you'd say that." Serena says.

"Let me out of here!" Alexander bellows hating what's going on in his mind.

"Not if you were Dumbledore." Sirius mocks.

Alexander looks around wide eyed trying to find any ways out just incase he gets a chance.

Alexander's mind was too focused on good thoughts to last very long against the collar's… I guess you'd say… mind rape. It robbed your sense of self. It forced you to think how it wanted you to or else!

It was horrible and Alexander couldn't even turn into a phoenix and be rid of it for it shrank down to the phoenix's thin neck. Alexander was getting very fearful for his state of mind. He was thinking less and less like himself. All due to the taunts of Sirius and Serena.

Alexander gulped and shut his eyes. He had to ignore the two idiots. They were taunting his wife though and that wasn't good. He barked back at them and lost more and more of himself.

"Find where this Riddle House is. We are staging a rescue mission." Dumbledore says to his operatives.

"I know where it is." Andre says.

"You do?" Dumbledore asks.

"Yes but I cannot say it aloud… I'll make a portkey that will lead us into the dungeons." Andre says.

"Ok be quick about it." Dumbledore says. "And make one to get back."

"Of course." Andre says. "Though I can't go."

"Ok." Dumbledore says. "Hurry."

"I'm going." Andre says.

Alexander heard someone land down the hall. He figured they'd Portkeyed in… It wouldn't help him. He was insane. He couldn't think anything but hate Dumbledore and all that's good. And he had to think…

He'd go more insane keeping his head blank. No one realized he was evil except him because he hated his captors. And snapped at them any chance he got.

He heard them coming closer… he waited… then he'd strike. He'd strike no matter who it was.

Dumbledore and Falcore were walking through the dungeons. Serena spotted them only she didn't look like Serena.

Falcore raises his hand and flicked it at her. She flew back unconscious. He put her behind the silence mask and bound her arms and legs floating her behind him.

Dumbledore smiles at him. "Good job."

"Ssh." Falcore says.

They start down and pass Alexander's cell then turn back.

"Don't come any closer." Alexander says the real him showing through a little bit but he makes a black fireball in his hand. "Please go!" He flings the fire at Dumbledore but Falcore raises a wall of earth and then lowers it and stuns Alexander. He grabs the portkey that will take them out and forces Alexander and Serena to hold it.

"Grab on Dumbledore." Falcore says and Dumbledore grabs the portkey.

"YOU'RE BOTH GOING NOWHERE WITH MY WIFE!" Sirius bellows.

Falcore mutters the incantation to start the portkey and Dumbledore goes to let go. "Go on Dumbledore. I'll be along soon."

"You wish!" Sirius snarls as the portkey takes Serena, Alexander, and Dumbledore away.

Sirius glared at Falcore and shouted the killing curse at him. Falcore dodged it nimbly.

"Is that your best curse?" Falcore taunts.

Sirius throws curses and hexes at Falcore who just keeps a shield spell up. Sirius looks exhausted and looks up at Falcore who drops his shield.

"Fool!" Sirius says. "CRUCIO!"

Falcore can't get his shield up and knows it wouldn't help. He lets it hit him. He bites his lip and tastes blood.

"C'mon and scream you worthless bastard!" Sirius yells.

"Not… going… to give… you… that satisfaction." Falcore strains to say.

"Too bad." Sirius says. "Kinzokamra!"

Falcore feels as though his body is on fire and melting and being shot and stabbed all at once. He screams uncontrollably.

"Good little slave!" Sirius laughs.

Falcore glares at him even though he's screaming. "Dantes Meurto Inferno Purgeus!" Falcore cries pointing his hands at Sirius who screams as the fire lights the evil in him trying to purge it out or just knock him out.

Sirius falls unconscious although evidently in pain. Falcore is breathing heavily but he gets shakily to his feet and pulls out a back up portkey. He puts Sirius' hand on it and grabs it and activates it. "You're going home… you bastard…"
