November passed by quickly, for Harry and his friends the days blurred together so much they could hardly think back to their previous incidents with the ghosts and Malvorn. The said vampire hadn't returned for Sirius yet and the ex-convict was starting to believe that Mallvorn had forgotten about him.
Hermione had no more incidents with ghosts. Torri and Draco's fights died down, to the point where they barely happened. Harry and Rowan had grown incredibly close. Torri's fear of shadows was starting to show progress in vanishing, though she till never used them by choice. Draco had become more in control of his violin, though he still played, he never put as much emotion into it as before.
The Weasleys were still trying to sue Harry for hurting Ron. Ron was still insane. No one had worked up the guts to visit him, nobody cared. None of them could have been happier, especially Sirius and Harry, who had grown even closer then before. Nobody could have been happier.
But things were…happening, strange things. They were hardly worthy of notice at first. Things disappearing, bathrooms flooding, more people tripped then usual. But as November pressed on, they got more sever. Food going bad, students often complained of lack of sleep, or inability to fall asleep, and spells going haywire and setting fire to things.
At the first of December the day began normally, they went out to defense against the dark arts as usual, all in warm coats save for Rowan and Draco, who simply weren't affected by the cold.
"Harry did you do the Home work?" Draco asked.
"No, I couldn't open the damn book! I think Hagrid's insane by giving it to us, at the beginning of the year he said we didn't have to use it!"
Torri snickered. "If you abuse it enough it opens."
"Anger management!" Hermione giggled, swatting Torri on the head. "You were attacking that poor book!"
"That thing bit me!"
"Only I can bite you!" Draco growled. "The book must die."
"Uh….." Torri pulled out a half dead book, with a bent spine and a large chunk ripped out. "I think I did the job for you, love."
"I'm so proud of you both!" Harry gushed.
"ADD." Hermioen deadpanned.
"No, they haven't fought in weeks! That takes skill."
Torri yawned. "God I couldn't sleep at all last night."
Rowan sighed. "I had this weird dream, but I can't remember it."
"I can do a sleep spell." Harry offered.
"With everything that's been going on lately I don't even want to touch my wand." Torri shivered. "It's like 20 degrees out and it's still not snowing."
"Yeah, that's been really weird." Said Blaise, glancing to the forest. Hermione followed his gaze. "Have you noticed the forest getting darker?"
"No," Hermione murmured. "It's as dark and gloomy as it always it, now let's stop talking about all this depressive stuff!"
"Yeah, It's giving me the creeps." Rowan said with a grin. They chatted all the way to Care of Magical Creatures, but all of them glanced at the Forbidden Forest, and they all noticed it was getting darker out.
"Hiya Hagrid!" Torri called.
"What're you kids out here! Didn't they tell ya? All out door classes are canceled today!"
"Why?" Harry asked, they stopped right in front of Hagrid's hut.
"Someten to do with all the weird stuff that's been happening." Hagrid said vaugly. Hermione crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him sarcastically. "Alright, alright, come in."
They followed Hagrid into the warm hut. Blaise and Hermione plopped down on the couch, Torri followed their example. Harry helped Hagrid pass out cups. The giant poured them all a hot chocolate before sitting down.
"As you all know the dememtors are…here-"
"Hagrid this hot chocolate is really good!" Torri exclaimed, everyone shot her the look. "Oh, sorry."
"Ahem, yes well as I was saying. The demetors have been here a while now and they haven't harmed anybody. Well until now that is."
"Was it a student?" Blaise asked.
"No, Sirius actually." Hagrid sighed.
"Then why are they still on the ground!" Harry snarled. "How bad did they hurt him?" the boy asked again, calming down.
"Not to bad." Said Hagrid nervously.
"Hagrid." Harry growled.
"He went into seizures when they tried to perform the kiss. Dementors affect him differently because he was in Azkaban. He was screaming and yellin' happened last night."
"That's why he wasn't at breakfast." Torri said softly. "Harry?"
"Why are the dementors here! They're not even on our side anymore!" The ebony haired boy seethed. He started to pace back and forth. Hermione just sighed.
"Harry?" Rowan asked. She kept trying to reach out to him, but he kept turning around the other way. "Darling?" Turn. "Harry?" Reach. "Honey-bun?" Turn. "HARRY!" That got the Gryffindor's attention. "Sit down and breath god damn it!"
Harry plopped down on the floor with his arms crossed, mumbling under his breath. Torri glanced to the blonde next to her. Draco was deep in concentration. "So it's logical to think the dementors will attack a student next?" he asked.
"That's what the staff worried about." Hagrid nodded.
"Would they attack a random student or is it a special right reserved for Sirius?" Draco growled.
"It doesn't matter!" Harry yelled. "I'm going to go see Sirius!" He stormed out, followed closely by Rowan. The rest didn't move.
"Hagrid?" Torri asked.
"Yes?"
"Is Sirius okay?"
"I think we should wait for Harry to get back." Hagrid whispered. Meaning, no Sirius is still not better. "He's pretty deep in hallucinations. He wakes up screaming, when he sleeps he's restless, it's bad, Harry'll be back soon."
"Rowan I'm sorry, but I'm going to be mad!"
"Do you have to take it out on me!" The blonde demanded.
"YES!"
"Lucky for you I love you anyway." She grumbled. Harry was walking much faster then her, she was practically running to keep up with him. Just in front of the castle she stopped and shivered. Was that a scream? "Harry this is not a good idea!"
"Shut up Rowan! He's the only family I have and he'd better be the hell alright!"
"Harry!" She shuddered. God I think I heard it again! Stupid Harry. She followed him up the stairs and into the infirmary.
"Morgan!" Harry cried. The half vampire was in tears and clinging desperately to Alex.
"Harry? How did you-Why-" she broke off into sobs again. "He-Harry you should go."
"I told you." Rowan grumbled.
"NO! I'm going to see him Morgan!" Harry yelled.
"Harry, I don't think you want to see him right now." Alex warned gently.
"Shut up and tell me where he is!" Harry hissed. Alex pointed, Morgan cried harder, and he hugged her tightly. Rowan and Alex looked after him. Harry heard Remus' voice first, soft, comforting, at the brink of tears, then he saw Remy, trying to get Remus to come away.
"Remus!" the vampire begged. "He doesn't know what he's saying he doesn't mean it!"
"Remy, he's hurting! He doesn't deserve this, I have to stay by him. If he goes I'll be all alone, I'll be the last one!"
"Remus he's going to hurt you!"
"What are you talking about?" Harry whispered. Violet and Amber gazes fixed themselves on him. Remus' cheek was a huge bruise, his lips was bleeding, the werewolf looked awful.
"You should go." Remy whispered. Harry shoved Remus aside and looked at Sirius. He was pale as death, his breathing was ragged, he was moaning.
"What happened to him!" Harry shouted. "Why isn't he recovering! They didn't finish the kiss!"
"Monster!" Sirius howled. "I DID IT! I KILLED THEM ALL! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" His blue eyes were huge, then he fell back unconscious. Harry felt his legs buckle.
Alex hugged Harry tightly. "He's going insane. It was going to happen, he kept all the guilt inside him. He promised Mallvorn, he promised himself so he could find you."
"I did it?" Harry whispered. His mind was functioning, Rowan was beside him screaming, he didn't hear the words.
"Look at me!" Alex's clear voice cut through his hazy thoughts. Harry's eyes were emerald orbs, huge and lost. "We're going to fix him, he's going to be okay."
"Broken?" Harry whispered, like a child. "He broke?"
"Yes," said Alex, relieved. "But we're going to fix him, so he won't be broken anymore."
"I did it."
"HARRY FUCKIN' POTTER WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!" Rowan screamed. Harry jumped. She grabbed is collar and yelled in his ear. "THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT, YOU WON'T HELP ANYONE WALLOWING IN YOUR OWN SELF MISERY, WE CAN MOPE LATER!"
"Thanks, Ro." Harry whispered.
"It always helped me." She smiled softly. "Alex? What do we do?"
"We wait." The vampire said helplessly. "And we pray."
"I thought vampires didn't believe in god." Rowan murmured. She heard Torri, Draco, Hermione, and Blaise come in.
"Maybe if he's up there now would be the time to help." Alex whispered.
"Sirius?" Remus whimpered. "Don't leave me alone! You said you wouldn't go, you promised, don't go. Remember? Don't go, I dun want you to go! Come back, please?"
"Monster…" Sirius whispered, "I killed them all. I killed them all." The blood red stain had once again appeared on his cheek. "Come find me, I don't want to be alone…."
Alex was starting to think that Mallvorn was the only one who could find Sirius now. "Don't leave me alone…."
