"Soon…Soon Harry Potter, I will get my revenge. Hogwarts' demise is near! We shall start…with the ministry…HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!"
_______
"Hey Harry! Are you ready for the trip?" It was another beautiful day at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The youngest of the Weasley boy was at the Gryffindor table, sitting beside his new girlfriend, Hermione. They had FINALLY started to go out together at the Christmas party, to everyone's relief. Well, Snape had dreaded that day… "Oh great! Another generation of red heads to teach!" had been his comment to the news, and Ron and Hermione had reached a new level of red in the face, call it purple, from embarrassment.
"Yes Ron!" He sat by his friends, followed closely behind by Serenity. "I wonder if we'll see Tonks or the others guys!"
"Who's Tonks?" The trio got out of their murmuring session, with Seamus's question. They replied together hurriedly; "NO ONE! Ummm…Just a friend of ours…Yeah! A friend!" "Uh.OK…" Seamus went back to his breakfast and Neville who had just asked him a question from the divination homework.
"That was a close one! Ron! You shouldn't speak about the you-know-what in the Great Hall. The Slytherins could hear you!" "Sorry Hermione. I didn't think about it."
"Speaking of Slytherins," Harry cut in their conversation, "Don't you think Malfoy's behaviour got strange since Dumbledore announced that trip to see the Ministry? He's been quite nervous since then and tries to evade the subject when we talk about it."
"Humpf!" Who cares! The ferret must have something up his sleeve, but what can we do about it? We're going to the Ministry. I'd like to see him try something there!" Harry looked at Ron sceptically and turned to Serenity. "What do you think about it, love?"
She merely gave him a knowing look. "You shouldn't jump to conclusions so fast. Because if you do and stay unprepared, you can wake up one day and see the whole world you knew disappear into chaos with no chance of getting out alive." She got up and turned to the doors. "I'm going to the forest. I have unfinished business to do. I will join you at the ministry later." She pecked Harry on the lips, said goodbye to the Gryffindors and went outside.
"Bloody hell! Well…That was interesting…" Ron muttered while Hermione tried to decipher the meaning of what Sere had said. Harry sighted. That was going to be a long day…

"Here you are! Welcome to the Ministry of magic! Come! The minister is waiting!" A man wearing a blue ensemble went to them, waiving and smiling like a mad man. They had just arrived, the whole school, in a carriage enchanted to be big enough for all of them. It looked horseless on the outside, but Harry could see what had brought them here. Thestrals, the horses of death, which only those who had seen death could see.
"Ah! Dumbledore, sir, it is an honour to meet you! Follow me! Minister Crouch is waiting for you to begin the tour!" He led them underground. The students were awed; most of them had never seen the building. It was like outside, but inside. A wide court with a training ground was near the entrance and they could see some aurors in training. Barty Crouch looked up and saluted them.
"Hello students of Hogwarts! Welcome to our Ministry. As you can see, the aurors are training right now so we will begin the tour inside, in the various departments. It will help you comprehend how we work here. Follow me!" They formed ranks and started talking animatedly.
"They past through various corridors, and visited many of the places. "I wonder if we're going to go see my dad in his department?" Ron asked to no one in particular. Hermione gazed at him. "I think so. We've practically done them all, so why not his branch of work!"
"Huh, guys?" They turned to Harry, who looked pale. Sirius had approached him, too. He looked sick and Remus was taking glances at him. "Isn't that the department of mysteries?" He asked, looking uncomfortable. "Is he crazy?! He's going to let us go in there?!" Ron whispered harshly, taken aback.
"Now everyone, I want your undivided attention." Everyone quickly stopped talking. Crouch looked serious and all trace of jokes he had previously said in the other offices had gone from his face. "This is the department of mysteries. Consider yourselves lucky to go in there, because it will probably be the first and last time. You will see strange stuff in there, which nobody can explain. You won't touch anything; as interesting as it may be. We don't want you to disappear, now, don't we?" He said sardonically.
Sirius gulped. He had managed to move just beside Harry, barely managing not to take his godson's hand in his for reassurance. "You ok Siri?" Harry gave him a worried gaze. He understood why his godfather didn't want to return in there. He himself dreaded that place who almost destroyed his hopes of living with him one day, after Sirius had gotten sucked in that weird hole of nothingness.
"I'll be ok, I think…" He answered grimly. They started to advance and Snape managed to pass right beside the dog animagus, whispering in harsh tones; "I wonder if you'll go back to your hole again? If you managed to escape, maybe it's because it couldn't stand you!" Black's eyes hardened and he whispered back; "Shut up Snape! Or I'll be tempted to throw you in!" They glared but Snape had to hurry to the Slytherins ahead so he didn't find the time to find a nasty comment. Sirius smirked in satisfaction but it disappeared when familiar objects came in his view. He really took Harry's hand this time and his godson was more than enthusiastic to grip back. He really hated this place. He didn't know how Sirius had escaped, and Sirius himself wasn't so sure. But that didn't matter.
They past in front of the many jars of prophecies, where Neville had broken the one with Harry's. The first years were frightened and the older students received warning looks as soon as their hand went to touch something. And then, they were in front of the veil, where Sirius had fallen. The end of that corridor. There was total silence. "What is that?" A frightened first year asked, pointing to the veil.
"We truly do not know. It has always been there, in our knowledge. But none of this department's researchers were able to discover it secrets. I advise you to not get near it…" He wanted to continue but he got interrupted by Snape.
"Mr Potter! Get back in line or I'll be forced to take points from Gryffindors!" They were surprised out of their stupor by the potions professor. But Harry seemed to be in an another world and was approaching the dreaded place. Ron tried to get his attention by weakly calling his name. Sirius was getting alarmed fast but he stopped short when the green eyed boy started to talk, in a daze.
"Can you hear them, the veiled people? They are talking! They were here, Sirius, when you disappeared, 2 years ago. They're still here!" He abruptly turned to Sirius, but he gazed at him carefully. "Harry…Nobody's talking. There isn't anything beside the arch. Are you ok?" They were looking at him as if he was crazy. "I'm telling the truth!! They are real!!! There's 2 of 'em!!! Don't you hear them? They're talking faster and louder! Harry blocked his ears. The whispering had embedded in his head and where making him dizzy.
Sirius didn't waist any time and all but ran to Harry, giving him some support. He heard faint voices until they went into his head. Everyone was getting freaked. They were also beginning to hear them, and it was getting louder by the minute. Faster and louder and faster, they were getting scared.
Until a loud cry shot out above the insistent voices; "SHUT UP!!!!!!!"

AHHHH!!! Cliffy! Sorry! But I wanted to post something fast!
Just wanted to say:
-I might, and I say might (if I'm able to get through it), do an NC-17 chapter that goes with the 13th chapter. I would post it somewhere else, of course. There is already a site where I'm posting my story, so it'll probably be there IF I do it. Maybe I'll need a co-writer to do something that's good enough for you guys. So if anyone has experience in writing these kinds of fics, and is interested in this project, write it in your review. I always read them so we'll be able to communicate. Think about it!
-Second, I'll probably start writing another HP/SM where Sirius is Serenity's father. I know, it as already been done but mine would have nice twist to it. Harry/Usagi, of course, can't get enough of it! It would be set in Ootp…Well, the year after, probably. Sirius will fall into the veil but will land in his stolen at 5 years of age daughter's dimension. She will be the one to get him out of the hole, literally, and they'll go back to the HP dimension after some time.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, PEOPLE!!! I TAKE THIS PLOT AS MINE! I WON'T TOLERATE ANY STOLEN IDEAS! ^_^
With this said, have a nice day! I'll update soon, don't worry. I already have my idea for the 15th chapter set and ready to write.
Don't forget to review! No Flames!
Come on, people! I want to reach 200 reviews! I need them like I need air! The more I have, the faster the update will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_~
