Chapter 3 Moment of Truth
Harry stared outside which was chaotic. Spells were shot in all directions. He watched as he and Neville dodged spell after spell. 'Man, I didn't know I've lasted that long.' His heart was thumping loudly. 'Where in the world is Dumbledore? He should be here by now.' Still he was grateful that Dumbledore wasn't here, which means that Sirius still had a couple of minutes more before Bellatrix kills him.
"DUMBLEDORE!" Harry snapped out of his thoughts at Neville's scream. 'Alright, Harry concentrate, It's now or never.' His right hand, which held his wand, begin to sweat as the time drew closer and closer. Glancing above himself and Neville, he saw Dumbldore, floating. He held his breath, as his eye's landed on Harry's. 'Could Dumbledore see him. Did Dumbldore know that he was there?' Still Harry did not take the chance, he slid back beneath the veil once more.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" Harry quickly pulled back the veil and stretch out his wand. He watched as Sirius ducked a jet of red light. 'This is it, now or never.' "Freze-time!" he whispered as softly as possible, hoping that the spell work. Instantly, a jet of white light emerged from his wand. It grew and grew until the light surrounded the whole room and everybody in it. Harry watched wide-eyed as everybody froze in the most awkward positions. Dumbledore running in mid air. Himself and Neville sat sprawled on the floor. Lupin, Tonks, and Moody all rushing toward Sirius. Sirius falling half way in mid air. Harry stepped out from behind the veil, and stopped beside Sirius. It was then that Harry noticed Bellatrix's wand outstretched toward Sirius's chest. Green light erupted from her wand and hit his godfather. 'Please, Sirius be alright. I need you more then anyone.' He stood behind Sirius. At that moment however, something unexpected happened….Time unfroze itself. 'Shoot! Dumbledore didn't tell me that I could only freeze time for a certain period.' Panic overtook him. Placing his hands under Sirius's waist, he gently and carefully pulled him, heaving him closer to the veil. Bellatrix gave a triumphant scream, as Harry pulled an unconscious
Sirius behind the veil. "SIRIUS!" Harry heard himself call. He grip Sirius tightly, afraid that he would disappear. "SIRIUS!" he himself repeated. "There's nothing we can do Harry-" 'Stupid me. Was I that foolish to not realize that there were ways to bring back the dead?' "HE-IS-NOT-DEAD!" Harry glanced at the unconscious figure at his feet. Placing his hand on Sirius's chest, he felt for a heart-beat….There was none. Fear overtook Harry. "I came back for you. Sirius don't leave me…." No one outside heard because of his other self bellowing about Sirius. "SHE KILLED SIRIUS! SHE KILLED HIM! I'LL KILL HER!" Anger boiled up inside Harry. 'Yes, that's it! Bellatrix killed Sirius. I'll kill her. Even if Dumbledore said no. I came back. Why not kill her, while I'm at it?' He heard himself chase after Bellatrix.
There was a long moment of silence. Harry held his breath and waited. "Where is, where is Sirius?" Ron finally asked. There was no reply. Harry peaked from behind the veil. Lupin was pointing his direction. "Fallen…." Silence came. "Was, that
man…..was Sirius Black….wasn't he….a death-eater, didn't he break out of Azkaban? Isn't he dangerous…and Harry said he's…." Harry felt angry rush toward him. 'How could Neville say such a thing….especially after I said he was a close friend?' "Watch your mouth. You stink you know…" Ron paused. "Lucky Harry didn't hear you, otherwise he'll kick your stinking ass…." "Enough both of you" Dumbledore whispered. "Neville, for your information, Sirius is not a death-eater, he is innocent, and Sirius Black is Harry Potter's godfather….." Silence rang through the room. "No wonder, Harry's so upset….." "Yes….we all are…." Lupin added, glancing at the veil, hoping that Black would reappear. Dumbledore sighed. "I must be off, I must stop Harry before he does something stupid, he won't stand a chance against Bellatrix." 'Whatever, I stood against Voldemort, I managed to scrap by alive.' "He need's to learn. Revenge is not the solution. Instead, what he should focus on is the present, and learn to cope with the lost. It must be difficult, with James and Lily gone, now Sirius. Otherwise, he would be wasting precious time." Harry thought he saw Dumbledore nod towards him. 'Does Dumbledore know? Does he know that I am here. The speech, those words are directed towards me, was it not? Yes, he's right. My task at hand is to save Sirius. Revenge, I'll have my revenge. I don't care what Dumbledore says. Bellatrix will pay for what she did, what she tried to do. Watch me, I swear, one day I'll kill you, just not today.' "Now, Alastor leave the death-eaters to you. Lupin look after the injured…." Dumbledore continued. "Leaving?" Lupin asked as Dumbledore started to leave. "Yes, to save Harry from her….besides, I think Tom is here by now…." He ignored Lupin's questioning looks, disappearing into thin air.
Moody, waived his wand, lazily, murmuring some words. "There now, I've place the Anti-Disapparation Jinx on them." Lupin nodded. "Now we should get out of here, back to Hogwarts. We have a lot of injuries to deal with." "Yes, besides…." Moody turned towards the veil. He headed towards Harry, wand outstretched. The magical eye buzzing, before him. 'That's right, the magical-eye, it sees everything.' Harry gulp. 'Please don't come any closer. Father protect me.' "Alastor!" Lupin cried sharply. "Where are you going?" "To retrieve Sirius." "No, don't. I'll take care of him. Leave must be deceiving me, which never happens, I think he's here….but she isn't, hmm.. Why?" "Who?" "James…James Potter." Harry let out a sigh of relive. He was once again mistaken as his father. "It must be James, Harry left…." "Yes, James….that would make sense. He has come for Padfoot…." Lupin sighed. "Padfoot, Prongs, don't worry. I shall avenge you, both of you. I swear I will. And Harry, don't worry about him. I'll be the one to take care of him. He can always turn to me." Harry smiled. Using his wand, he conjured up some words, which read.
Moony,
Don't worry about us. Take care of Harry . Another thing, we think Harry would be thrilled to stay with a werewolf, instead of the Dursley's. Believe me we know. Help Harry through this. We'll be watching.
~Prongs and Padfoot
Lupin smiled. "I will, don't worry, Prongs, Padfoot." Harry hoped it would work. Next to Padfoot, he'll be glad to live with Moony. "Who's that directed to? Who's are they?" "Nobody, nobody….." Lupin said, glancing over at Ron, who tried not to smile. "Just nicknames…eh?" Moody growled. "Yes…yes…."
At that moment, Fudge appeared. "Ah, Cornelius, I suppose you came for them?" Moody asked. Fudge looked around. "Alastor, yes, I see you came back Auror," he paused. "I shall be taking them from here on…" Fudge went over and gathered up all the Death-Eaters. Moody nodded. Fudge looked around, but shook his head at the surroundings, still murmuring, "It couldn't be him, it just couldn't…." "It is, Voldemort's back." Fudge flinched at the name, which gave Lupin a smile. The group watched as Fudge disappeared with the rest to the Death-Eaters.
"Man, what's with him? Professor Dumbledore said he's come back. Ha he didn't believe it. Look's what's it cause. Look what it's done to Harry." Hermione suddenly spoke up, making everyone jump. "Hermione, you've waken up." Ron cried happily. "Where's Harry…" she asked, sitting up. "Umm…well…he's out for revenge…." "huh?" "Padfoot died…." Ron said solemnly Bellatrix killed him, and now Harry's off to kill her. Dumbledore chased after them….." "WHAT? SIRIUS JUST DIED?" "Yes…." Lupin said. "Oh my, and you're telling me he's off to do something stupid." They nodded. "Poor Harry….Sirius was, well he was like Harry's father…..I still don't believe it…." "Believe or not, Sirius died. Right now, we are going back to Hogwarts." Moody growled. "How?" "Not Floo Powder, and we Apparate….." "How did you get here?" "Oh no not them, not the thestrals….we can't even see them." Lupin frowned. "No other way, come on…." Ron and Hermione reluctantly staggered after them, not to happy about it.
Harry watch them leave. He picked up Sirius and dragged him out from behind the veil, taking his Firebolt with him. 'Ok I hope this works. It has too. It's my only chance.' With that Harry pointed his wand at Sirius's chest, "Revivalous". A jet of blue light erupted from his wand. Harry let out a sigh of relief as Padfoot's finger twitched. Slowly he sat up and groan. Harry being happy leap on top of him. "Oh Padfoot, oh Sirius, thank god you're alive!" "Umm…who's there…I can't see you…" Harry got off of Sirius. "It's me…." "Prongs?" 'Oh well, it's better this way…' "Yeah Padfoot, it's me Prongs." Sirius smiled, but it soon disappeared. "Where am I ? Where's Harry?" "The Ministry of Magic, and Harry's back at Hogwarts….Albus took him." Sirius sighed. "Good, then we better get going, I don't want Harry worried…." Harry agreed. "Here, use the Firebolt, it's the fastest way." Sirius stared at it. "The one that I gave, why
do you have it?" "I have my ways," He laughed. "I see, alright, come on…." "Wait….." "Hmmm…." "Be careful…" Sirius nodded, truing into the shaggy black dog.
The wind was blowing lightly. Harry took a deep breath. He mounted onto the broom, scooting as far up as possible. Sirius watched the broom float in mid air. "I'll fly it, you sit in the back…." "Why?" "Cause I say so…." Sirius nodded, and sat on. Kicking off, Harry and Sirius soared dawn, with bits of the sun rays lighting the sky.
