Older and Further Away Chaper 11: Nobody's Home

"Hey Draco" Lupin said as they set down for dinner "You haven't seen Sirius have you" he asked

"No" Draco snapped "why would I see him"

Lupin shrugged his shoulders as he sat down. He was worried.

"Remus" a voice called from the living room

Remus hurried to the living room to find Dumbledore stepping out of the fireplace

"Albus" Remus said suprised "what is it"

"It's Sirius" Dumbledore said. Remus's heart dropped in his chest.

"He got himself in trouble didn't he" Draco asked with a smirk

"yes" Dumbledore replied "He was seen fighting with Snape up the block by a few members of the order"

"Snape" Remus asked not suprised

"Yes"Dumbledore answered "he was taking by portkey to Voldemort's lair and the good news there is that there was a tracking spell on Sirius" Dumbledore said smiling

"That leads us to Harry" Remus said

Dumbledore nodded "We move out tonight" he said as Lupin nodded "Get prepared Remus" and with that Dumbledore turned and stepped back into the roaring flames yelling his destination.

Lupin turned to Draco with a smile "We've found him" he whispered

Draco shook his head "you think you have"he said "what if their already dead" he asked as he turned and made his way back upstairs leaving Remus to ponder Draco's question.

Sirius's eyes widened as Voldemort stepped into the room.

"master" all the death eaters said as they bent down before Voldemort

"Hello my servants" He said smiling "You may rise" he comanded as the death eaters got to their feet.

"Who do we have here" Voldemort asked as he stepped towards Sirius

"Potter's godfather" Snape said disgusted

"ah of coarse" Voldemort laughed " let him speak" he said as Bella rushed forward to untie Sirius's mouth

"Tell me" Voldemort whispered once Sirius's mouth was uncovered "How do you feel knowing that your godson is going to die" he asked with a smile

"he isn't" Sirius replied with a growl

"you seem pretty sure of that" Voldemort said

"I am" Sirius replied

"Well we'll see" Voldemort said with a grin

"Bring in the materials" Voldemort comanded as a big cross was carried in by his death eaters

"Watch and realize how wrong you were" Voldemort said as he once again gagged Sirius

He smiled pleased with himself as he walked over to Harry and unchained him from the wall.

"Wake up you idiot" Voldemort yelled as he gave a Harry a kick in the ribs causing Harry's eyes to snap open as he began to cough up blood.

"It's time Potter" Voldemort said "Time to die"

Voldemort picked Harry up and threw him in front of Sirius's chair.

"let me tell you how this is gone to work" he said

"Do believe in god Harry" Voldemort asked

"why" Harry said

"Because you are viewed as a god" Voldemort replied with a grin "The-boy-who-lived"

"well tonight you will die" he snapped "you will die the way a god would die"

"we will see how you handle it" Voldemort said as he motioned to his death eaters to get Harry.

Sirius watched horrified as the huge cross was set up in the middle of the room and Harry was nailed to it. The death eaters continued to torture him before wraping barbed wire around Harry's body.

Voldemort laughed as Harry screamed and cried from the pain

"you don't deserve the title of god" Voldemort said as he stepped forward "now you die" he said as he lit a match and threw it on the cement muttering an incantation under his breath.

The fire immediatly caught onto the cross as it began to burn Harry's flesh.

"yes it burns doesn't it" Voldemort asked "it's also burning you from the inside out" he said with a smile

"now we enjoy the show" Voldemort said as the death eaters hollered with joy and sirius fought hard to get loose.

"Hello Tom" A voice behind Sirius said. It was Dumbledore.

"Albus" Voldemort screamed outraged "come to save your hero" he asked

"something like that" Albus said as Remus rushed forward to untie Sirius

"well it's to late" Voldemort snapped "the fire can't be extinguished" he said with a smile

"have fun trying" and with that all the death eaters and Voldemort had disapparated.

"Remus" Sirius said thankfully getting up from the chair that Remus had untied him from

"oh my god" Mr. Weasely whispered as he took in Harry's condition

"how do we put the fire out" Mad-Eye asked as he failed miserably at putting the fire out with water

"Harry" Sirius whispered as tears poured from his eyes

"An incantation I taught Tom myself" Dumbledore said "I know the reverse"

Dumbledore immmediatly began muttering the reversal spell as the flames died out

Sirius and Remus both rushed forward only to be stopped by Dumbledore

"We first need to contact St.Mungo's" He said "Harry needs serious medical treatment"

Remus and Sirius nodded "I'll go" Remus said as he disapparted to St.Mungo's to find a healer.

"I have to get him down" Sirius said as he stepped forward

"no" Dumbledore yelled "you'll only injure him worse"

It wasn't long before Remus had apparated with 2 Healers

"how long has he been here" one asked as she rushed to Harry "Get him down Luctu" she commanded as the man waved his wand and Harry's body came lose from the cross.

"about two weeks" Remus answered

"the boys barely breathing" Luctu said "we have to get him out now"

The two healer quickly conjured a stretcher and floated Harry's unconscious form onto into

"Will he be ok" Sirius asked as the 2 healers got ready to disapparate

"we can't make any promises" Lucta said as the 2 disapparated leaving the order stuck in the lair with their fears of losing Harry.
