Ok I am really, really sorry about the long wait for this chapter but I have been a bit busy working on my new story The Gondorian Royal Family, and I have had hospital appointments and I still have more of those damn things so give me a break if I don't update as often as I used to this chapter is something I have planned out in my head but at the moment I'm not too sure how I'm going to write it but I do have it planned out in my head and I don't how it will turn out cause obviously I am writing this before I actually write the chapter. I would also like to say that I set up a yahoo group for Harry Potter its about Harry Potter in general and at the moment I think it has 5 members might be 6 I'm not too sure but if you want to check it out the link is the group is being very quiet and I think if I had new members people might actually talk. I cant answer reviews because fanfiction.net is being annoying and being very slow for me so I cant anything up and I am not that patient. Anyway on with the chapter.
A few days after Sirius's disappearance Jess moved into Godrics Hollow for her own protection and James went to Dumbledore asking about Sirius "What do the spies say?" He asked Dumbledore in frustration because for the last half an hour Dumbledore had been telling James that there was no hope that Sirius wasn't going to get away from Voldemort alive.
"James the spies tell me that he is still alive but for how much longer they do not know." Said Dumbledore with a saddened look on his face for Dumbledore was also saddened by Sirius's capture Sirius had become a valuable member of the Order and while at school Dumbledore had become very fond of the young boy who had been disowned by his own family for having different beliefs.
"Do they know where he is?" Asked James.
Dumbledore wondered for a moment whether or not to tell James where he knew they were holding Sirius captive. "James I cant tell you that."
James looked into the old mans face in disbelief "Why? Why will you not tell me?"
"I am afraid that if I tell you were Voldemort is holding Sirius you might go after him and we can't afford to loose you as well as Sirius." Said Dumbledore.
James finally lost his temper "You mean you wont tell me you wont tell me where my best friend is so I can help him if it was the other way round Sirius would come after me I'll have failed him if I don't after him you must understand."
"James I understand but think about what will happen if Voldemort captures you as well as Sirius that would definitely be a blow to our side, and think about Lily and Harry do you really want Harry to grow up not knowing his father and for Lily to be a single mother and what about Jess she needs you more than ever now that Sirius is gone."
"She blames me!" Yelled James "She blames me for Sirius's death this is the only way I can make it up to her and the baby the only is by getting Sirius back to her."
Dumbledore looked at the younger man in pity "James I will tell you where they are holding Sirius as long as you promise me not to do anything stupid." James just nodded his head unable to say anything else "They are holding Sirius at letum domus"
James suddenly went very pale "But that's Voldemorts stronghold they don't usually keep prisoners there do they?"
Dumbledore shook his head "No, but I suppose Sirius is a special prisoner he can bring Voldemort you Lily and Harry."
James was enraged again "You make it sound like Sirius will tell Voldemort where we are but he wont I know he wont he wouldn't let me down."
"James Voldemort has ways of getting these things out of people and no matter how hard Sirius resists Voldemort will break him in time." Said Dumbledore with an even sadder face than the one he had been wearing since James had arrived.
Realization suddenly dawned on James Sirius would finally break he would tell Voldemort where he was hiding then Voldemort would kill him. "I want to change the secret keeper if Sirius isn't secret keeper he can't tell Voldemort where we are right?" Asked James.
"I'm afraid not James the Fidelius Charm can only be broken when it expires and unfortunately I made the charm to last for two years your best bet would be to move out of Godrics Hollow James."
"No." Said James "I will not be thrown out of my house the house of my ancestors just because of him the Potters have always lived in that house since the days of Godric Gryffindor himself why should I break that just because of Voldemort." Said James with a determined look on his face.
Dumbledore thought about this for a moment "Normally I would go against this plan but by the look on your face I am guessing I wouldn't win if I tried so I am not going to try and move you from Godrics Hollow I just hope that Sirius holds against Voldemort until we get a chance to try and get him out."
"Thank you." Said James and with that he left.
At Letum Domus Sirius was chained to a wall by his arms and legs being tortured "Tell me where Potter is." Said Voldemort with his wand pointed at Sirius.
"Never." Said Sirius with a determined look on his face.
"Fine." Said Voldemort "Then endure more pain" Sirius screamed as Voldemort hit him with the cruciatus curse. "Do you like pain Black or is it that you don't want to see your dear best friend suffer? Tell you what Black how about we make a deal."
Sirius spat in his face "The day I make a deal with you will be the day that I die."
Voldemort wiped the spit away "Funnily enough Black that's what I was thinking you tell me where Potter is and I'll end your pain and suffering for good." Said Voldemort with his wand pointed at Sirius's heart.
"I will never tell you where they are." Said Sirius his voice hoarse from screaming.
"Fine." Said Voldemort "If torturing you yourself isn't enough to make you tell me how about we torture your precious wife."
"Don't you dare hurt her." Sirius snarled.
Voldemort sneered "And what are you going to do Black if I do hurt her? Kill me? As far as I can see you are in no position to hurt anyone you're a bit tied up aren't you?" Asked Voldemort looking at Sirius's bound arms and legs.
The Lestranges who had been watching the whole charade burst into laughter. "My lord." Said Bellatrix coming forward "Maybe you should let us have a go for surely I am his cousin and I know him well having grown up with him I know his weaknesses I can get it out of him." Bellatrix looked utterly delighted at having the chance to torture him.
"You bitch." Yelled Sirius "You know sometimes I wonder how I was ever related to someone like you you're such a bitch."
Sirius was once again hit by a cruciatus curse but this time not from Voldemort from Rodolphus Lestrange. Sirius only had to endure a few seconds of it before Voldemort stopped him maybe they care about each other more than they let on Sirius thought "Rodolphus stop lets leave the 'cousins' alone" Said Voldemort putting emphasis on the word cousins which made Sirius even angrier "Come on Rabastan." Voldemort walked out followed by the two Lestrange brothers. Sirius grinned this was going to be fun.
Oh end of chapter sorry about the slight swearing. I'm sorry to any Sirius lovers for you having to read him going through pain it nearly killed me writing that bit. Anyway as always review! I haven't been getting as many reviews as I used to get and I was wondering have people stopped reading this story I hope not. Ok so bye.
