A/N: WOW! That's all I really have to say, im pleasantly shocked to see how much positive response this story has gotten so far, im glad you peoples like it!

Well here's chapter …12? Or 13? I don't know lol! Well I hope ya enjoy it, and yes I have changed it to take the plot for my story, but its still following the book pretty good.

Disclaimer: I do not own most of this chapter is from 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' with a few changes of my own. Thanks!

Chapter 12: all is not what it seemed…

Fear.

It's a funny thing really.

There are many types of fear, like falling down a set of stairs, getting a test back, which you were very anxious about, and then there's facing death.

Death.

Something James didn't want to think about, look at, see, or have anything related to ever in his life. But unfortunately that was life, and he had already seen too much that any 19 year old should never have, But then again this was life.

Life.

Something Harry was probably seeing go by through his eyes right now, as Voldemort's wand was pointed at his heart, and nobody was there to help him.

Nobody.

James felt his heart clench at the sight. Oh how much he wanted to be the one to save him, hold him, tell him everything was okay…

The group was looking at the scene in fear, probably the type you see when someone thinks of committing suicide, but they didn't know what was going to happen… neither did James. But all he could do was keep telling himself that he knew harry was going to be okay. He juts hoped it was quick and painless torture for his son's sake. He struck James as the type to never back down, and to help others just because he couldn't let them suffer. The type that would die for his friends if he were juts given the chance.

And that made him proud.

Harry seemed to be having trouble breathing. He was starring at Voldemort's terrible snake like face like his site was glued there.

"So you smashed my prophecy?"

His voice was so …cold, and soft, so…. dangerous. That half the group cringed rather painfully. It was enough to hear his name, but many of them were gaping, because they have never met him in person. Something James had once, but he only glimpsed him. Not this close, nobody should be this close.

He took a few slow steps forward "No Bella, he is not lying… I see the truth looking at me within his worthless mind…Months of preparations, months of effort, and my death eaters have let Harry Potter thwart me again…"

Bella was standing off to the side, suddenly full of fear, and to Sirius disgust, shame. "Master I'm sorry! I knew not, I was fighting the animagus black!" she sobbed throwing her self to his feet "master you should know,"

"WAIT!" Franck shouted as James and Sirius cringed knowing what was coming…

"Did she just say, animagus?" He quirked a brow at Sirius who was steadily trying to hold a face of no pressure.

"She was probably referring to how im like a dog or something because of my name… you know? Dog star?"

The group didn't seem very satisfied with his answer, and James let out a breath of relief too soon, just as Dumbledore sent him a suspicious glance. But the group resumed watching eagerly, if not in some remorse as well.

"Be quiet Bella" voldemort said dangerously. Steadily walking closer towards the still Harry, who hasn't broken eye contact yet. "Do you think I have entered the ministry of magic it hear you're sniveling apologies?"

Bella instantly shut up and cringed almost noticeably.

"I have nothing more to say to you potter" he continued, giving Harry the most dangerous look James had ever seen in his life, and suddenly felt very very very very glad he was not his son, although he would have gone through that pain in an instant only so his son would not suffer. "You have irked me too often for too long" he raised his wand again and pointed it at Harry, who was only a few meters away by now. "AVADA KEDAVARA!"

But just as the group was about to shut their eyes, and the killing curse was heading straight towards a stunned Harry-

Nothing happened.

Voldemort's eyes visibly held surprise. "What the-."

Harry seemed surprised too, and seemed to notice that at the last second a brilliant light flew in front of him, in the form of Dumbledore's golden phoenix and took the killing curse for him. A pile of ash with a little baby chick not sat on the floor.

Harry laughed bitterly "I guess that would make it 5 times now eh?"

James was confused as well as the others. 5 times what?

Voldemort didn't look amused though "Shut it potter, or death wont be you're worst concern" he growled. Harry gulped.

"Ouch! That man is evil" Sirius muttered.

Moody looked sideways at him "no really, I wondered…because I really didn't know that."

Franck whistled "wow! Moody and sarcasm… I never thought…"

"Can we just all shut up?" roared James. He was pissed, there was his son and people were talking sarcastically about how evil Voldemort is.

The three instantly shut up to his bitter surprise.

"I just have one question for you" Harry said, his voice held desperation and longing almost, to know something that it truly made James sad.

"Oh? And what would that be?" Voldemort said sarcastically.

"Why?" His eyes pleaded for an understanding. "Why did you do it?"

"Why?" he laughed bitterly "you should know Potter, you've been there, and you've seen it all…"

Harry finally looked away just as he threw a stunner at him, which Harry dogged. "You don't want to kill me now? Well this is new"

He laughed, " I have some better ideas…that ah, may interest you"

Harry frowned from behind the statue he was hiding against "Really? And what would that be? Learning how to be a basterd? Because if so I don't want any"

"Stubborn, so much like you're mother…"

Harry seemed to freeze at the mention of his mother, and James clenched his fist angrily. IF he did anything to her…

"Stop it" Harry hissed angrily.

Voldemort smirked and continued walking forward "Her screams… so Lucious and painful… just pleading with me to let you live… I would have let her live I really would have, she could have been a great asset to me, but she refused to let me kill you…"

Harry now had tears that stung his eyes, and a fresh wave of anger seemed to spread through him. "Why did you want to kill me?" he finally whispered. "Why can't you just leave me alone… im just another annoying Gryffindor 15-year-old"

James winced at how desperate his voice was, now flowing with tears, and unshed anger. "What more do you want from me!" he finally screramed.

Voldemort wasn't smirking anymore as he turned around to face Harry, who was cowering against the wall now "you don't know…" he muttered. "Ah Albus, what big mistake have you made this time…" he continued to murmur to himself almost. But there was something like surprise and amusement there. "This could work to my advantage…"

"I'm not going to Tom," Harry growled viciously.

He cast Harry and amused glance "you wont will you? And what makes you think that?" without another word he threw a stunning hex towards harry, and what happened next surprised most of them.

The fountain suddenly came to life, and the statue wizard came and flung himself in front of harry, who hadn't raised his wand in time. Voldemort looked shocked.

"What," he suddenly seethed "Dumbledore!"

The group turned around and sure enough there stood Dumbledore wand raised, and nothing akin to hatred on his face.

"It was foolish to come here tonight tom" Dumbledore said calmly. "The aurors are on their way"

"By the time which I shall be gone, and you will be dead!" he spat as he threw a killing curse at Dumbledore, who stepped to the side easily. James was kind of afraid. Dumbledore was juts taking this like they were talking over tea, not too the most evilest dark wizard in the world.

The real Albus Dumbledore stared at the scene rather too intently for James' liking. He also hated how he had that look, the one that he gets when he knows something…

James also sparred Harry another glance, and saw him leaning against the wall, well more like pinned against the all form the statue which was holding him there.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that Tom" Dumbledore replied rather calmly, so calmly in fact that James felt a shiver run up his spine –again.

Suddenly Dumbledore flicked his wand, and the force of the spell that emanated from it was such that James saw Harry cringe as it passed by him. Harry's hair flew in different directions and His brilliantly green scar shone with ghostly perspire, and bright red blood. The colors were getting so much clearer…

The spell, whatever it was, didn't make much of a difference against Voldemort's shield, which he quickly made. But an oddly chilling sound filled the almost empty room…

"You don't seek to kill me, Dumbledore?" called voldemort from behind his silver shield. Dumbledore sent another spell at him, which he dodged.

"You and me both know there are other ways of destroying a man, Tom" he continued walking towards voldemort as if had not a care in the world. "Merely taking you're life would not satisfy me, I admit…"

"There is nothing worse then death Dumbledore!" he snarled.

"You are quite wrong," said Dumbledore. Still closing up the distance between the 2 of them. Harry's till struggling against his bonds…"indeed you're failure to understand that there are things much worse then death has always been you're greatest weakness,"

Voldemort didn't reply but rather threw another jet of green light straight at Dumbledore; one of the moving statues ran out and took the hit.

With a flourish of his wand, Dumbledore had managed to throw ropes that went right through Voldemorts shield, and wrapped tightly around him, for a moment the group was sure he had one, but then the ropes turned to snakes, and slithered away.

"You can't win Dumbledore" he spat viciously

"Oh?" Dumbledore threw another curse towards him, which he sidestepped. "I never said I would…"

Suddenly voldemort flicked his wand, and a long black python came slithering out, just as voldemort threw another killing curse towards him. Harry's mouth was falling open, and James couldn't remove his eyes from eh site.

"WATCH OUT!" Sirius yelled.

Dumbledore seemed to have it under control though as he flicked his wand, and the snake disappeared, just as the statue of the house elf jumped in his way, and broke to hundreds of pieces. Voldemort disappeared and reappeared in the fountain pool, Dumbledore swiveled around and with a quick lash out of his wand, the fountain water formed a dome around Voldemort, like a giant suffocating mass…

"MASTER!" Bella shrieked; still struggling with the statue that was pinning her down.

"My Lord, I think he's done it" Franck whispered. James just watched, as the foggy form of Voldemort seemed to struggle to pull off the suffocating mass.

All in one though Voldemort disappeared and the fountain fell back down with a huge splash, Harry looked around wildly and tried to get out from behind the statue that was guarding him.

"Stay where you are Harry"

The group fell silent from the look on the apparition Dumbledore's face. Harry obviously noticed too, and he stopped struggling, but his face held confusion. So did James', didn't he see Voldemort was gone?

Alas, all is not what it seems…

-To Be Continued

A/N: wow! Lol im overwhelmed (once again) about the positive response to this story that kind of one day popped into my head. So THANK YOU!

I have a little dilemma though; I'm going to have to have a pole result about the decisions for some things. I want to know what you want, so here fill this out in a review and the most of one response wins thanks! Okay, so I wanted to what you think of Harry/Sirius slash. There will definitely be godfather godson bonding- no matter what.

I need to know the answer, because I have two ways I could probably go with this, and for the next few chapters I have to know. If you choose Harry/Sirius, my life will be a lot easier…because that's where my original plan was going, but I want to know what you think, because if you don't like it I wont write slash. So please TELL ME! Lol Thankies!
