A/N: Sorry if the last chapter seemed a little rushed, but I couldn't figure out how to do that in a good way…so yea, here's the next chapter! (oh yea, to Sammy Jo, sry I had to take the whole…timer turner for calling me an insane bat thing…but they went somewhere else!)
Disclaimer: I am not British, my name is not Jo, and I am not richer than the queen…therefore I did not make up all this stuff..k? k! (The quotes from the book on this chapter came from page 804 and up!)

Dumbledore contacted the Trio the next morning and asked them to come to his office, they did so with their hearts in the throats.
"I have contacted the Department of Mysteries, they have sent me not a portkey, but a time turner. This time turner is very different. When you turn it, you will be sent back only for an hour, and then you will come back, you are also not visible when you go back, so you do not need to fear being seen. The turner is programmed to go back to just before Sirus died, but remember, you need to all be under the chain of the turner when the sand run outs." Dumbledore smiled.
"But sir, how did you get the Department to agree to all this so quickly?" Harry asked, still incredulous.
"Ah, it was a bit of an apology for calling me an insane bat when I told them Voldemort was back last year." He winked, Ron jumped.
"So, when can we go?" Hermione piped in.
"As soon as you would like, but I must tell you that Miss Weasly will not be aloud to join you."
"We figured that, but we'd like to go now, please Professor." Harry said.
"Very well, put the chain around your necks and turn it over one time. Please be careful, do not try to reverse time, you are just going to see if Sirus is still alive. Good luck." He winked and handed them the turner.
They looked at each other with excitement in their eyes and put the large chain around their necks. Harry turned the hourglass and felt as if he was flying very fast backward. Dumbledore's office dissolved and soon Harry found himself at the Department of mysteries, watching the battles going on below.
Ron and Hermione looked awestruck, Harry had forgotten how they were both out of the room during the heat of the battle.
"Harry look! There's you and Neville!" Ron bellowed.
Harry looked down and saw not only himself struggling with Neville, but Sirus struggling with Bellatrix. He saw the prophecy fly out of Neville's pocket and smash on the ground. The familiar pearly white figure rose out of it, its magnificent eyes shining as it spoke inaudible words.
Then Dumbledore arrived, his brilliant eyes now furious. Harry felt the same feeling as before, he knew that they were saved. Although they were in no danger now, they were then.
Then he remembered, it was right after Dumbledore arrived that Sirus had been hit.
"Hurry guys! We don't have much time, we need to get down and see what happens to Sirus!" Harry yelled, running toward where Sirus and Bellatrix were battling. Ron and Hermione followed.
Harry ran over and stood behind Bellatrix, not letting the few hot tears in his eyes fall as he looked at Sirus with laughter in his eyes.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" He yelled at her, a smile coming onto his face. That was when she said it.
"Mortaliosis!" She screamed, the red beam shot out of the end of her wand and hit Sirus squarely in the chest. Harry couldn't bear to watch but forced himself to. Hermione clung to not Ron's arm but his and Ron was still standing trying to catch flies with his mouth. Harry saw it again, the laughter had not died from Sirus's face as he fell backward in the same graceful arc as before. He landed on the ground and fell into the veil hanging from the archway. It fluttered as if in high winds and then Sirus was gone.
"Oh Harry." Hermione wiped a tear from her cheek, Ron had closed his mouth but was still looking at the place where Sirus had once stood.
Bellatrix ran off to where Harry knew Dumbledore and Voldemort were fighting by the fountain. Harry walked over to the veil and ran his hand along it. He couldn't see through it, and he couldn't feel it, but he knew that Sirus lay just beyond that veil.
"What did Bellatrix hit him with?" He asked.
"Mortaliosis," Ron whispered the first words he had said since Sirus had been hit.
"What's that?"
"Its meant to put the person it hits into a coma, then when they can't fight back, they normally hit them with one of the unforgivable curses." Hermione said, walking over to where Ron and Harry stood.
The chamber was now empty besides a few Death Eaters laying on the floor dead and Harry could hear Dumbledore and Voldemort battling outside.
"I'm going in, I have to find Sirus." Harry said, running his hand over the veil again.
"No, Harry. You don't know what's behind there." Hermione pleaded, grabbing his arm.
"I have to Hermione. If the time runs out and I'm not back, you go back and get Dumbledore back here, he should know what to do." And before Hermione could protest Harry had stepped beyond the veil and into the unknown.
Hermione screamed as he did it and ran after him, but Ron grabbed her arm before she fell into the veil herself.
"No Hermione, we can't. We need to let him do this on his own. Now, lets go and see what's going on up there since we still have time left. If Harry comes back out and the time isn't up, we can come back and get him." Ron's voice was unusually calm.
Hermione wiped her tears and followed Ron up the stone steps and through the door, looking back only once at the stone archway where Harry had gone through just moments before. He was not there.
