Chapter 33
"Where is everyone?" Sirius wondered. "Dammit I should have asked how far away Harry can sense people. I'm never going to find any-, there's Moony!"
Sirius ran up to Lupin and pulled at the mans robe. When Lupin looked down and saw Sirius he froze.
"Padfoot is that you?" Lupin asked. Sirius just rolled his eyes as well as a dog could and pulled harder.
"Come on Remus." Sirius thought. "Harry is in trouble you know."
Finally Lupin agreed to follow Sirius. When they made it to the top of a hill, Lupin saw Harry surrounded by Death Eaters. He quickly pulled out Dumbledores' chocolate frog card and called the others. Almost immediately Dumbledore, Mad-Eye, Tonks, Kingsley and Zombini appeared.
Quickly taking in the scene below the Order members charged. Dumbledore stayed behind only long enough to look in to Sirius' eyes and reach a decision.
"Sirius I need for you to try to get Harry out of there." Dumbledore said. Sirius gave a small nod and took off to retrieve his Godson.
"Now that the playing field is, how did you put it, evened out, are you ready to die?" Voldemort asked.
"You're about fifteen minutes late in asking that question." Harry answered. "You see I've decided that I'm not really ready to die quite yet."
"Then it's a shame that you are going to die, a shame for you I mean." Voldemort responded. "Let's try this one more time. Bow to death Potter."
"If I remember right this is the point where I refuse to do what you say once again, Riddle." Harry answered his voice a very forced calm.
Just as Voldemort was about to send a curse Harry's way the Order made their appearance. Harry inwardly let out a sigh of relief. The minute Voldemort saw Dumbledore he quickly disapparated, not wanting to battle the Headmaster again.
But even with Dumbledore free to fight the Order was not going to have an easy victory. It seems these Death Eaters were much more prepared for Dumbledores' tricks.
The battle was in full swing and Harry was sending curses left and right, when Sirius caught up. Sirius struggled to pull Harry out of dangers way. Harry finally let Sirius start to drag him off but not before he put his two sense in.
"I want to fight! I'm ready!" Harry told Sirius angrily.
"I don't give a damn that I'm stuck in my dog form, Harry, I'm still your Godfather and I say that we're getting out of here now!" Sirius responded for the first time cursing the fact that Harry was so much like James.
The Order was quickly gaining the upper hand in the battle. So far none of the Order members had gotten hurt, so far. Sirius almost had Harry out of harms way when something happened.
Harry heard two Death Eaters cast the Avada Kedavra curse. Time seemed to stand still when the curses made contact. The first curse hit Stratton Zombini square in the chest but Harry hardly noticed. His eyes were following the second curse which was heading straight for Remus Lupin. The minute the jet of light hit Lupin, time seemed to go on at double time. Harry quickly got out of Sirius' hold on him and ran right over to Lupins' dead body.
"REMUS!" Harry shouted even though the logical side of his brain was telling him it was no use. "Remus wake up!" Harry said through gritted teeth as he roughly shook the man.
"Harry don't do anything stupid." Sirius said to late.
Harry transformed into the wolf. The first Death Eater he attacked was the one that killed Lupin. Harry launched himself at the man. The moment Harry felt his teeth meet with flesh the wolf decided to take over fully. If you had been able to look into his eyes you would have seen no sign of human intelligence.
Four Death Eaters lay dead at Harry's feet before he regained control of his body. Harry changed back into his human form with a look of pure disgust on his face. He didn't have much time to think about what he had done, however, since a combination of five or six hexes and curses hit him.
Harry blacked out and for once Harry was throughly fine with not being able to think or feel.
