*~*~* Thanks for all the feedback MUCH appreciated :D

*~*~* Next fiction will probably be a Sirius and Snape at school with *Brooklyn Black Sirius's sister and Snape's girlfriend *~*~*

Harry lead a group of outcasts to the magical gates that lead up to the highest tower where Zelda was being held captive. Two Death eaters stood looking curiously at the prisoners. Harry stood behind a pillar and waited for Benjamin's signal.

"Hey you." Benjamin shouted at the closest Death eater.

"What do you want?" The Death eater snapped back. Harry recognised the voice. It was Crabbe, he make a wild guess that the other death eater was Goyle.

"I was just wondering what it takes to be a Death eater, I mean what made two marvellous wizards such as yourselves turn to the dark side?" Crabbe walked suspiciously over to the gate.

"You being smart Gumble?" Crabbed asked.

"Who me sir? Noooo." A few of the prisoners concealed snickers.

"Right that's it." Crabbe said raising his wand.

"Don't Crabbe!" Goyle protested but it was too late. Crabbe had open the gate with his wand and the prisoners didn't waste a second. Benjamin pounced on Crabbe sending his wand flying through the air. Goyle however sent a barrage of curses at the prisoners who had piled on top of Crabbe. Most of them missed but some of the prisoners fell to the floor unconscious.

*~*~*

"Now Harry!" Benjamin shouted. Harry's heart skipped a beat. He jumped over the pile of prisoners and dashed past Goyle before he could even blink. Harry was very fast for his age. Especially when there was a Death eater on his tail. Harry heard Goyle be tackled from behind. He wanted to stop and see the look on Goyle's face but his legs just kept running. He soon reached a staircase that lead to the highest tower. It was being closely guarded by two more Death eaters. Harry following his instincts threw a pebble in the opposite direction past the guards. Their heads shot up and they followed the noise. Harry could hear shouting from upstairs. He snuck past the guards and raced up the stairs. The closer he got the louder the shouts. It was Lucius Malfoy. The door was open and Harry could see his wand inches from his hand. He reached out for it but something caught his eye.

*~*~*

It was Zelda. She was curled up in a ball on the floor shivering. Harry realised immediately she was under the Cruciatus curse. He made a lunge for his wand but something grabbed his ankle. It was a Death Eater.

"I've got him Lucius." The Death eater yelled. Lucius and the other Death eaters turned around.

"And I've got you." Benjamin cried dragging the Death eater off Harry.

"Go Harry!" Benjamin cried. What happened next went very fast. Harry grabbed his wand and pointed it at Lucius who had already shouted the death curse 'Avada Kedavra' and sent it fleeting towards Harry. Benjamin who had succeeded in throwing the Death eater down the stairs leapt in front of Harry taking the curse full impact in the chest.

"NO!" Harry shouted. Benjamin collapsed into a heap on the floor. He aimed his wand at Lucius and shouted with all his might.

"Stupefy!" The curse hit Malfoy with such force he toppled backwards into a table and fell unconscious to the floor. The other Death eaters didn't know what to make of the situation. They grabbed Lucius's limp body and bolted out of there. Harry fell to his knees between Zelda and Ben and dropped his wand.

"Death follows me, and everyone I touch." He mumbled bitterly.

"Would you believe me if I told you I wasn't dead?" A voice asked.

"Ben!" Harry shouted. "How did you? The death curse..." Harry was dumbfounded.

"It's the bond that forms between two wizards when one saves another's life, it turns out you have a very strong protection spell in you after all." Ben explained. Harry was so relieved.

"Besides." Came another voice. "It's the curse of the Blacks, to fall into the hands of evil, not Harry Potter." Zelda shakily sat up.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked helping her to her feet.

"I've been better." She admitted. Zelda's legs gave way. Harry caught her in his arms just as Sirius and Snape burst onto the scene.

"Where are they Potter?" Snape asked rushing forward taking Zelda off Harry.

"They ran when Harry hit Malfoy with a powerful curse." Ben answered for him. Sirius put his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"I told you we didn't need to rush Snape, If any student can break out of prison to save his friend and scare off a dozen Death eaters, its Harry." Snape unwillingly agreed.

"Let's go back to Hogwarts now." Harry said turning.

"Um Harry." Zelda said in a voice which told Harry he didn't want to hear this.

"I should have told you this before, but I was under strict orders not to, you see I'm not actually a student." Harry turned to face her. How could it be that the only person that actually understood him wasn't going back to Hogwarts with him.

"You see, I'm an Auror, I'm also in the Order of the Phoenix and I was supposed to protect you at Hogwarts but instead I got you kidnapped by Death eaters, so I'm going back to train at the Ministry of Magic."

Harry had so many questions for her. But he couldn't bring himself to talk. All he wanted to do was crawl into his bed at Hogwarts and never come out again.

"So it was all an act?" Harry asked feebly. Not wanting to look Zelda in the eye.

"No of course not, well some of it was but not the stuff that counted." Harry looked up. He could tell she really meant it.

"I guess I'll be seeing you then." Harry said.

"Yeah, see you Harry." Zelda said. Harry watched her bouncing black curls disappear down the stairs.

"Women." Sirius said shaking his head.

"What did I expect, I mean she is a relation of Snape." Harry spat bitterly.

"She what?" Sirius asked. Harry looked up at Sirius who's jaw had dropped in shock.

"Oh nothing." Harry said pulling Sirius's arm. "C'mon we have to get back to Hogwarts."

"Wait a minute what did you just say about her being a relation of Snape..." But Harry didn't answer him. The two wizards walked out of Azkaban laughing all the way.

The End
