Name: The Death of Thalia Mousai
Chapter: Introduction
Author: TheMiserable (if you want to reach me by email, feel free to do so at NaivetteSocks@yahoo.com)
Notes: The humor will come, I promise. I just wanted to ensure that my story is a bit on the plausible side so I wanted to give a little background information first. The next chapter will also have some more background information but it will have my nifty view of God, so you know it's going to offend someone. Sorry. And this chapter is very much an introduction. I just wanted the reader to know a little bit about Thalia.
Notes Pt2: I put the Marauders in the four houses because that's where I see them. J.K. has never said anything to the contrary.
Notes Pt3: I'm rather fond of Greek Mythology. Thalia was the Muse for comedy, and Mousai is a word for Muse. She was the daughter of Mnemosyne who gave birth to eight other daughters, each were Muses. Clio was one of them: the muse of history. I may or may not get into Thalia's family. I might end up doing it in the next chapter.
Spoilers: You have to have read 5. It directly refers to the death and I can't ruin that for you.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters outside of Thalia Mousai and her family (though if J.K. wants to sell me Sirius, I'll see what I can pay). I'm not making money off of this and I only work at a summer music camp that pays next to minimum wage. I kind of need the money for college applications and my trip to D.C. this year though. so please don't sue. Also, I didn't write the list of 50 Ways to Piss off Voldemort. I stole it from mugglenet, who stole it from someone who stole it from someone else whose name has been lost to history. If you happen to be this person, drop me a line and I'll credit you. I feel bad not doing so.
The Death of Thalia Mousai
Thalia Mousai had been a good student during her years at Hogwarts. While the Sorting Hat placed her in Slytherin, she found that she had little in common with her fellow bunkmates. In fact, the only Slytherin she felt any sort of fondness for was a little boy named Sirius Black. Sirius, while the brother of a known Deatheater, didn't seem to be as attracted to the Dark Arts as the other students in Slytherin. In fact, it was a rare occasion if he was seen without his best friends: James Potter of Gryffindor, Remus Lupin of Ravenclaw, and Peter Pettigrew of Hufflepuff.
Time passed and everything changed. Thalia had joined the Order of the Phoenix alongside Sirius and his friends so that she could destroy the looming evil that was Lord Voldemort. Soon, however, before she had much to do with anything (other than a very angry hexing directed at Lucius Malfoy who made it a point to mock her whenever they passed in Diagon Alley), the war was over. The Order had suffered losses in James, Lily, Peter, and whether anyone cared to admit it or not, Sirius.
Thalia was a very useful arithmancer. She spent the years following the end of the First Great War locked up in the only skyscraper in Hogsmeade doing magical financing for Honeydukes. It wasn't until she received the first of many owls from her old Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, that she learned that the Dark Lord had come back. She immediately returned to Hogwarts and eventually ventured to 12 Grimmauld Place to rejoin the Order and was shocked to learn the truth about her old colleague Sirius Black. Her schoolgirl crush immediately returned, despite the sudden appearance of lines in his face and gray hairs littering about. Thalia was nearly always at 12 Grimmauld Place unless Dumbledore had specifically asked her to stake out a given location - her presence in Slytherin had proved invaluable. It seemed that many of the former Hogwarts students put great faith into a silly little hat that never claimed to put dark wizards into one house. How funny that they all seemed to hear that.
However, the following June, Thalia heard from Dumbledore: Sirius Black had been killed in battle. He was to receive the Order of Merlin, first class - but he would never be given the chance to enjoy it.
July came, then August and September. Thalia slowly became increasingly bitter. She fought with Deatheaters almost every night - trying to take on one or two at a time. Occasionally she was successful. It wasn't until October 31st that the Harry Potter factor became an issue. Following the third actual prophecy Trelawney had produced, he arrived at the old Riddle house for the second time in three years. Emergency sparks went up into the air across Europe and the United States. The Order had rapidly expanded to many wizards spanning two continents. All the Muggles seemed to think that it was a rather impressive display of fireworks. The Order knew better, however. Most members apparated directly to 12 Grimmauld Place. Almost immediately, seeing the words glowing above the fireplace, they appeared at the Riddle home. What ensued was an epic battle. Dark wizards versus white wizards. The Order hadn't expected the Dark Lord's army to expand. While Thalia fought Lucius Malfoy, who had recently escaped from Azkaban, Harry Potter was fighting Voldemort himself.
Voldemort disarmed Harry. Harry looked around with a panicked look on his face, not knowing what to do. Voldemort raised his wand high into the air and with a roar, screamed, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Thalia was a good wizard. Perhaps she will be one of the best remembered by history (as her sister Clio was likely to ensure). Ducking Lucius, she ran in front of Harry and absorbed the death wish - losing consciousness immediately. Harry, shocked (if not more so by the apparent recognition that flashed across Voldemort's face), raced for his wand. The battle was over, but the war had just begun.
