Ch. 7
A long time had passed since Severus and Siria had left. The school carried on as normal, there were substitutes put in for them and that was that. Sirius, Remus, and Mad Eye Moody were sent to find Siria before Voldemort did or at least figure out his planes, since it was hard for Severus to get in touch with them. Siria had never been seen by anybody, good or bad. She never sent anybody any message or anything. So, Sirius turned into the black dog and Remus and Moody hid under the invisibility cloak. But one night changed everything.
Siria was on her own in the woods. She had an empty stomach from not eating from so long, yet she still had the will to carry on. In one area of the woods, she figured she was near people so she started being careful. In the dark of night, she became a person again. Then, she used the stone to create a clone of herself. As soon as clone Siria started walking away, the real Siria turned back into a panther.
As the three headed towards a clearing in a patch of the woods, Sirius heard voices in the distance. He quickend his pace a little and the others followed. Soon, they were hidden behind a couple of large bushes. They could hear everything the group was saying.
"I'm sorry Lord Voldemort, but we still haven't seen her or anyone else from the order," a man called Rabastan told Voldemort himself.
"I don't care. Keep searching for her or else I we won't eat till we do," Voldemort shouted to all of them.
"Look what I found in the forest Lord Voldemort," Lucius Malfoy said as he spotted Remus. The cloak had fallen off of him, and he never noticed. He was about to make a run for it when a spell was put on him, Moody, and the dog.
"It's Sirius Black! The dog is Sirius Black!" Peter Pettigrew shouted and ran about as Voldemort cast a spell on him to turn him back human. Soon they were all placed in a large cage, with their wands far away from them.
"Thanks a lot Peter! Some friend you are!" Sirius yelled through the bars. Then he threw himself against the other side.
"Well, at least they haven't gotten Siria yet," Remus said with a sigh of relief as he sat in a corner. Moody just stayed to himself.
"Look what else I found!" Lucius said as he shoved Siria out of the forest.
"Ok, now you can be upset Sirius," Remus yelled as he tried to shove himself out of the cage.
"Yes, good! Now let's have that stone, Siria Black!" Voldemort shouted as moved quickly toward her.
"You know perfectly well I can't take it off," she spat back at Voldemort.
"She's braver than I thought," Sirius said to himself.
"Fine, we'll just have to take it off the hard way," Voldemort snickered. Lucious laid her down and used a spell to keep her there. Then Voldemort brandished a sword out of his cape. Remus and Sirius went silent as he neared her. Right before the sword was an inch from her throat, he stopped. "I can't shed her blood myself, or it will make this plan useless. Severus, you do the honors." Severus went as pale as a ghost but nodded his head. As he towered over her, for some odd reason, it just didn't seem like Siria. He lifted the sword above his head and he let it come down on her neck. Her head rolled over and the Stone was removed from her body. Severus threw the sword down and walked away. Remus became choked with tears. Sirius stood silently as tears trickled down his cheek. Severus walked deep into the woods so no one was near him. Then he let all of his sorrow out. He heard a slight russle in the leaves, and saw to bright green eyes staring at him. Severus moved closer and saw that it was a black panther, except it was not trying to chase him or anything. He watched it for a second, then turned and headed back.
It was late, and almost everyone was asleep. Voldemort had given Bellatrix the stone, and she wore it proudly. Severus quietly made his way to where Sirius and Remus were held prisoner.
"How could you do that to her?!?!?!" Remus yelled at Severus.
"Shut up! I had to, or blow my cover," Severus whispered.
"Remus chill, he had no choice," Sirius said with his back turned. Severus nodded and walked off. Remus laid down to try and fall asleep, but it was not happening for him. Suddenly, a black panther appeared next to him outside the cage. In it's mouth were three wands, which it placed inside the cage. Then, it talked.
"Hide these so Voldemort doesn't see them. Then, I'll come either tomorrow or the next night to release you guys," the panther explained.
"Ok, but who are you?" Remus asked, unsure if he was still completely sane.
"Don't worry about that just now, you'll find out soon," then the panther scampered off. Remus just sat there for a minuet, then hid the wands.
The next day, no one spoke a word in the cage. Remus still wasn't sure if what happend the previous night was a dream, but he did have the wands in his robe. Sirius never said anything he was to busy staring in the opposite direction with his back turned to everybody. The day passed rather slowly, since nothing could seem to cheer them up. That night Remus stayed awake again. The panther returned. He saw it unlock the cage and then it took off again. Remus shook Sirius and Moody and got them to wake up. After showing them they were free, they silently took off.
When Voldemort arose, he never noticed the prisoners being gone. He was too determined to use the stone. Bellatrix came forward, strutting it around like it was an honor to wear it. After Voldemort told her how to use it and what he wanted it to be used for, she started trying it out. Everytime she tried to cast a spell with it, a light would come out, but nothing else would happen. Voldemort was furious. He didn't understand why the stone wouldn't work. It was even on pure Black blood. Severus watched, horrified that he had commit a horrid crime for no reason at all. Then a sudden movement caught his eye in the woods. He wasn't able to follow it, since it was too fast, so he ignored it.
