Hermione stripped off what was left of his robes and groaned.

"Not agian. Can't Lucius use any other spell than that Sectumsempra thing?" Everyone stood around her and Severus, watching with baited breath. She turned to Lupin.

"Help me," she pleaded. He knelt beside her.

"Whatcha need?" he asked. She ripped a strip off Severus' robes and handed it to him.

"Stop the bleeding on his leg." he nodded and pressed firmly on the wound. Then she noticed the burn. she pointed her wand at it.

"Vigoratus." she muttered. The burn disappeared and new skin grew, leave his shoulder unmarked.

"We have to get out of here," she said.

"Where do we take him? Hogwarts isn't safe." Lupin said

"The forest." she gave him a significant look. He nodded.

"What's with the look?" Harry asked.

"Tonks, you tell him," Hermione said, congering a stretcher and laying Severus upon it.

"Harry, there a place, in the Forbidden Forest, where we can hide people and... well don't be mad that we didn't tell you but...Sirius is alive."

"WHAT! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT! I'VE BEEN PISSED OFF AND CRYING ABOUT IT AND HE'S ALIVE! YOU THINK I MIGHT WANNA KNOW?" He screamed. Tonks backed away.

"Harry, he's not the only one there." Lupin said.

"Well who else?" he was still pissed.

"Sirius' brother Regulus."

"The Death Eater?"

"He's not anymore. Remember he tried to get out?"

"Yeah. Well let's go. I wanna see him." Harry demanded.

"Ok." Hermione said.
