Chapter Seven
The group were making there way back through the tunnel. This time Hermione was supporting Ron, Harry had Wormtail slung over his shoulder and Sirius was at his side. Remus, after being bound to the bed by Harry, was back at the Shrieking shack.
They reached the end of the tunnel, and after Crookshanks had stopped the branches of the tree and Ron and Hermione had climbed out, Sirius rested a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Harry," he began, Harry turned to face him, "I wanted to thank you. You did some things back there that no one your age should be able to do. I hope that one day you'll be able to tell me how." He smiled at Harry who returned the grin.
"Someday Sirius. Someday." He then turned and climbed out of the tunnel. The group began their way back into the castle. Harry lacking behind keeping his mind open for the approach of the Dementors.
They were in sight of the main steps when the air went cold. The group stopped and turned towards the gate.
"No one move." Harry commanded dropping Wormtail's body to the ground and whispering 'Nox' to his wand.
"Harry," Hermione whispered, "What's going on?"
"Shh! It's the Dementors, just wait."
"What!"
"Shh!"
The group waited in silence, Harry had his wand ready. Then a dark shadow that brought forth a winter chill moved into sight. The group of Dementors drew nearer and when they were barely 20ft away Harry thought of the joy that Sirius was free and shouted;
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!"
The white stage shot forward from his wand and cantered around the group of Dementors slowly but effectively pushing them back towards the gate.
Hermione and Ron stared at their friend in shock. But before anyone could say anything Harry turned picked up Wormtail's body and began to move into the castle.
In silence the rest followed, Sirius returning to his grim form as they reached the doors.
