!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!Chapter 3!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

That was one of the most tiring days I have ever had! The 1st years caused such a ruckus at lunch because they couldn't decide what to eat! Those poor house-elves are working their butts off they're working so hard! I have the worst headache.

'Hey 'Mione! How were your third years? They are so loud that I couldn't even think when I was grading papers!' Sirius exclaimed with pure amazement.

'Yep. Would you please be a bit quieter? My head is pounding and it's about to explode!' I asked as I dished some roast beef onto my plate. Sirius looked a bit drawn back after I said that, but it didn't matter to me. I just wanted to be in my own little world away from everything and all of the noise.

'You could sleep off your headache during the staff meeting. It is the most boring and worthless activity that the staff does together. What's the point of it?' Sirius whispered as I looked at Albus who was smiling calmly at me. He looked brighter than usual which meant that something was going to happen sometime soon. Something drastic, probably.

I laughed softly at Sirius's comment about the most tedious thing ever. He did have a point about sleeping through it. The doors of the Great Hall burst open suddenly, when someone ran. This someone was trembling with fear and looked near fainting.

'He's here! He's here! All of them are here! The Death Eaters! Lucius Malfoy is lea.' The man fainted in the middle of the floor. Everyone panicked. Sirius swore under his breath.

'SILENCE! All students must stay here! Teachers follow me! Sirius Black and Hermione Granger you will be staying and guarding the students! Lets go!' Albus said in such a calm way that some would think that nothing had happened at all.

'God damn-it. I want to go and kill those puny death-eaters after they imprisoned me in that hellhole for so long!' Sirius fumed. A few students were shocked at Sirius's language, but most did not care.
'Everyone will continue their meals while we stand guard! If there is any stupid and bad behavior the wrong doer will spend two months of detention and will have to right a five-foot essay on what they did wrong! Do you hear me?' Sirius boomed all around the hall; his voices bouncing of the grand walls.

My headache was five times as bad. I was sure my head was going to explode! As Sirius and I walked towards the door and through the throngs of chatty students, I heard distant bangs and screams of death eaters. When we reached the door I whispered to Sirius franticly:
'Sirius, I'm scared! What if they come and hurt the students or even kill them! It would be our entire fault. Oh, I just don't know what to do Sirius!' His arm slid around my shoulder, his warmth made me feel secure and safe in this time of hardship. I wanted nothing more than to be off in my own world with Sirius!

'It's ok 'Mione. As long as you're with me everything will be all right. I want you to know that I could never live without you, so I will protect you with my life!' Sirius told me, my insides melting more quickly by the minute.
'Sirius, you are the sweetest guy I have ever met!' He started to lean closer towards me, his lips nearly an inch away from my own. He lightly brushed his lips to mine, sending chills down my spine. My arms were locked around his neck, his around my waist. I could feel the eyes of the students burning into my flesh.

The doors burst wide open, Lucius Malfoy right behind them. He was looking more sinister than ever. His cold, gray eyes piercing through his mask, his robes torn and bloody, he was boldly standing straight up.

'I'm taking my boy to the Dark Lord! If anyone moves there will be more than one murder tonight! BOY, COME!' Lucius yelled over the crowd, eyes burning with hate. Sirius started walking towards Lucius. I tugged on his robes.

'Sirius, no. Don't stand up to him! You'll be killed!'
'I guess you haven't met very many guys then!' He only responded to what I said before. Draco was hidden in the corner. He made his way from the shadows to his father. Sirius only advanced quicker towards Lucius.

'I told you there would be more than one murder tonight! Well, you've just got yourself and that wretched wench of a mudblood killed!'
