Ch.3
At the Ministry of Magic, Siria, Severus, and Remus witnessed the same exact scene where Sirius was tragically killed. Siria motioned for Severus and Remus to go wait outside the doors to guard her and make sure nobody came in. At first they refused, but eventually they agreed. Then Siria rolled back her sleeves, then pulled out a necklace with a black stone on it. Under her breath, she started whispering a spell and her voice grew louder and louder with each word. Soon the stone shone and a bright light emerged from it. The light hit the veil and went right through it. A few seconds later, a limp body of Sirius appeared on the ground. Siria closed her eyes, and then the light went inside her. The power pulled out half of her life, then went into Sirius. Then Siria collapsed from the loss of energy.
Feeling the power inside the room, Remus opened the door and ran inside to see what was happening. Severus tried to stop him, but Remus just pushed past. He burst in, only to find Siria and Sirius unconscious on the ground. He lifted her up and Severus ran in behind him. Siria slowly regained consciousness and smiled weakly.
"Didn't I tell you two it wouldn't kill me?" Siria smirked then closed her eyes. Severus just shook his head.
"Well, just don't do that ever again. You scared us half to death," Severus said as he picked her up from Remus and carried her out of the room. Remus picked up Sirius and brought him out as well.
Soon they returned to the house while Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all playing wizard chess. They took the two limp bodies upstairs to lay on their beds. Soon Severus and Remus returned downstairs. They both got some coffee and sat down. For at least two or three hours, neither one of them said a word. While they weren't looking, the three made their way upstairs.
"Oh my gosh, it is him," Hermione stated as they saw Sirius slightly breathing. Harry looked at him in confusion.
"But I watched him die. Even Remus said he was dead. How did they recover him?" he inquired.
"Well I'm pretty sure Siria had something to do with it. It doesn't look like she's any better off than he is," Ron said as he looked over at the sleeping Siria. Suddenly, they heard Severus and Remus coming upstairs. Luckily, Harry had his invisibility cloak in the room, and they hid under it. They noticed that even before the two got upstairs, Sirius was starting to stir and awake. By the time Remus opened the door, Sirius was yawning, then looking at himself in disbelief that he was alive. He turned around to see Remus who was smiling, then embraced him in a hug. Sirius was still a bit puzzled at how he survived, then Remus turned around and told him about what Siria did. Harry heard them say that Siria sacrificed half of her life so that he could live. Severus was sitting on the bed next to her, and he noticed that she appeared a little paler than before, and left to create a potion to help her regain her health.
Soon Sirius and Remus where downstairs, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione came downstairs, acting like they had never known that Sirius was back. Sirius embraced them all in a hug then they all sat around the kitchen table. Soon he was being inquired about the afterlife and other topics of his death. Eventually he told them he didn't really want to discuss it since it wasn't one of the best topics ever.
Severus went back upstairs, sat back down beside her, then began stroking the strands of hair on Siria's pale face away. It had soon administered the potion to her, but there were no immediate reactions. After a few minutes, Sirius returned upstairs to see how his twin was doing. Severus just looked at him for a second, then turned back to Siria. Suddenly, she slightly stirred in her sleep. Remus walked in soon after. Severus sort of leaned in closer, while Sirius just sort of stood there. Slowly Siria yawned and awoke. She started to sit up, then said, "See, didn't I tell you I'd be fine. I just needed a little sleep, that's all." Then she stood up and stretched and Severus just sort of nodded his head.
Not much later after that, the Order of the Phoenix was reunited in the upstairs room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione remained downstairs while the meeting was in order. In the room, Dumbledore called the meeting to order.
"Now, first, congratulations Sirius, on coming back to life. That was an excellent contribution you made Siria, thank you. Now, for the reason I called you all here, it is time and the war has begun. Voldemort is ready to attack, and so must we be," Dumbledore told them.
"So you're telling me, I've just come back to life now to go die again," Sirius asked with a smirk.
"Well, I don't think Siria knew this was about to happen, did you Siria?" Dumbledore asked. Siria just shook her head. "Anyways, I need one of you to fill in for a Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. We seem to have been having no luck with them lately. We just need someone to stay near the grounds to keep an eye out for Voldemort if he attacks. We also need at least two volunteers to stay in the Shrieking Shack. Any volunteers?" he said.
"I'll be the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher," Siria spoke up. "I'd fancy a visit to Hogwarts. It's been so long since I've been there," she finished.
"Me and Sirius could take over the Shrieking Shack, I think we know it best," Remus said with a smirk.
"Well, that settles it. If anything happens, the rest of the order must be ready to move at once! Be prepared!" Dumbledore warned.
"Oh, we'll be ready!" Tonks spoke up and smiled. Moody nodded in agreement. The rest of the order also chimed in their agreements. Soon the order was dismissed, and they each went their separate ways. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all went to the train along with Severus and Siria. Remus and Sirius apparated to the Shrieking Shack. Thus began the sixth year of Harry Potter.
