Return To Hogwarts-Chapter 10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------
Sirius1 led the way to the Womping Willow, stunning any Death Eaters in their path. Finally they arrived at the very dangerous tree.
"Immobilus!" he cried. The tree froze in mid-swing.
"What now?" he asked.
"You three head down the path to the Shrieking Shack. We'll come and get you when it is safe," Hermione explained.
"But, I want to fight!" Sirius protested.
"Death Eaters are ruthless. They won't give a damn whether your a child or not," Sirius1 said bluntly.
"He's right, Sirius. My dad told me about some of the things they did. Let's go," Ray said, anxiously tugging at his robes. Just then, they saw more figures heading towards the castle.
"GO, Sirius!" Hermione cried, lightly pushing him towards the trunk of the tree. Finally the boy nodded.
"Love you," he said quietly before he and his friends disappeared thought the tunnel.
"And now?" Sirius1 asked Hermione.
"We do what your son said. We fight," she smiled grimly at him. He smiled back. Then the pair ran to confront the figures heading towards the castle. They stopped in their tracks when they realized that they were Aurors, led by none other than Ron Weasley.
"Hermione! Blimey, what happened?" he asked while they walked up to the castle.
"The Death Eaters are inside. Sirius, Ray, and your nephew are in the Shrieking Shack. They're safe there," she explained. Nymphadora 'Dora' Lupin emerged beside them.
"Okay, good. Um, Hermione? What's with the dog?" she asked. Hermione looked to where Sirius should have been standing and found that he had transformed.
"I'll explain later," she sighed.
As they ran inside, they saw that many of the teachers were unconsious. Those who weren't were found duelling two, maybe three Death Eaters at once. That was where the aurors and Hermione and Sirius stepped in. He didn't transform until he was sure everyone was occupied.
"Expelliarmus!"
"HA! You missed, Potter! Expelliarmus!" they heard Draco Malfoy shout with glee. Both Hermione and Sirius stunned their Death Eaters and hurried to where they heard Malfoy and Harry.
"This is for my father and the Dark Lord!" Malfoy sneered, raising his wand, just as Hermione and Sirius emerged from around the corner. Harry was wandless and they could see fear in his eyes.
"Avada-"
"NO!" Sirius roared tackeling Malfoy to the ground, knocking his wand away. Sirius pulled out his own and holding it to Malfoy's throat. "Give me a reason and I swear I'll kill you!" he growled.
"S-Sirius?" Harry sank to his knees. Hermione picked up his wand and rushed to him. Then Ron and Dora came from around the corner. Their eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw Sirius.
"Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed. Sirius got off of Malfoy, tied him up, and went to his godson's side. Harry clung to him like he was about to be taken away again.
"How...what are you...ALIVE?" Dora stuttered at her second cousin.
"I escaped the veil with a little help from two of my best friends," he said, looking at Harry, "Your mum and dad say hi."
"M-my parents?" he asked weakly.
"Yeah. They couldn't come with me, but they really wanted to," Sirius smiled grimly. Harry smiled back. Then Kingsley Shackelbot entered the room. His eyes rested on Sirius for a moment and then he regarded Ron.
"Dumbledore just arrived. Came in and took care of all the Death Eaters. They're all tied up right now," he explained. The inhabitants of the room followed Kingsley to the first floor where the met Dumbledore.
"Are you all- S-sirius?" he said, completely stunned.
"Hello, Albus. Just the wizard I was looking for," Sirius smiled. Harry looked at the Death Eaters all bound and gagged. Someone was missing, though.
"Albus, is Peter Pettigrew in there?" Albus looked for the wizard in question.
"No. He's not," the older wizard said finally. Harry suddenly had a very bad feeling. In his pocket, he pulled out a bit of parchment.
"'I solemly swear I am up to no good,'" he said. The Marauders Map revealed itself. He looked down the passageway under the Womping Willow. There he saw Peter Pettigrew disappear off the edge of the map.
"Harry?" Hermione asked questioningly.
"He's headed for the Shrieking Shack," he answered, pailling. It was as if someone had ben controlling them all at the same time, for everybody broke into a run to the Shrieking Shack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
Cords shot out of Pettigrew's wand and sprung around two of the Shrieking Shack's occupants.
"Hello, Sirius Black," Pettigrew said calmly. Sirius jr had his wand out and was ready to attack.
"Let my friends go!" he roared.
"I think not. Crucio!" Pettigrew cackled insanly as he tortured the boy. Sirius screamed in agony.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
"AHHHHH!" a scream echoed throughout the tunnel.
"SIRIUS!" Hermione screamed breaking out in a run. Sirius sr had transformed and ran as fast as his legs would carry him. Finally he reached the Shrieking Shack. Hermione and the others were farther back, but he did not dare wait to run to his son's aid. He flung open the door to see Peter Pettigrew lift the Cruciatus curse off of Sirius jr. Sirius1 stepped infront of his son and held his wand ready.
