Chapter 3

Last Chapter:

"Sirius, please try to keep your temper…" he started.

Auror Black went over to where Moony stood. He growled when he saw the face of the person lying there.



Harry immediately smiled at his godfather, until he saw the glare that Sirius sent him. Wait, he thought numbly, Sirius is dead. He died in the Department of Mysteries last June. He closed his eyes. This was a very bizarre dream.

Harry hit the ground hard as the journey ended suddenly.

"Pathetic," Snape said rudely looking at Harry's jumbled form on the ground, "The wizarding world's favorite celebrity still cannot land properly when utilizing a portkey."

Harry groaned in response, both at his aching muscles and Snape's sarcasm.

Lately the newspapers had taken to calling him and his teammate Alexxis, the Dark Apprentices. Snape had always mocked his fame, reminding him often that one day his big-headedness would get him caught by the aurors.

Picking himself up, Harry glared at his teacher. "Let's just go before your jealousy forces you to say something you regret," he countered.

Snape quickly pulled out his wand, and Harry seeing the action did the same. "It would not be a good idea for you to try my patience." Snape growled. "Do try to contain yourself, for I do not usually restrain myself against ignorant brats very often, Mr. Potter."

Harry lowered his wand. The Dark Lord would not be pleased that he had not completed his assignment, and although he was his favourite, he was not always spared from punishment. Harry decided not to push his luck. Besides due to his failure, defying his mentor would not be overlooked, tonight.

Snape, satisfied he had gotten the upper hand, turned and led him into the council room.

Harry entered behind him, but stopped short when he realized who Snape was taking him to see. His eyes widened in shock. Dumbledore?


Harry hit the ground hard as the journey ended suddenly. He screamed silently as his now aching shoulder exploded in waves of pain.

As soon they had reached their destination, both Remus and Sirius had pulled out their wands and aimed them at Harry. Sirius was not in the least bothered by his agony; Remus, however, softened slightly.

"We should get him to the infirmary, there's not much he can do injured." Remus said quickly.

Sirius looked at him angrily, "This is a cold-blooded killer, did you forget the graveyard? Did you forget the Department of Mysteries? He's capable of anything…"

Remus winced at Sirius' words. Harry's heart stopped when he saw the look of pain and betrayal that quickly crossed his face.

Not waiting for an answer to his question, Sirius hastily plucked the prisoner up from the ground and hastened to place him in a secure unit, disregarding Harry's bleeding arm. Harry groaned once last time before waves of pain plunged him once more into a sea of darkness.


Lily sat quietly in her favorite turning the page of her favorite novel, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It had become both a habit and a comfort for her. Before she had found out she was witch, that book had been her first introduction to the magic as whole. She read it now as she sat waiting for her husband James to return from a pressing operation. These "emergency work situations" had become more and more frequent with time due to the rising support and attacks of Voldemort.

Lily frowned as she thought about the current state of the wizarding world. Things had gone downhill very quickly within the past 5 years. By sticking key places and overtaking major departments, You-Know-Who had created a panic in the people. Right now he threatened to collapse the Ministry of Magic and rule the world. People were joining the Death Eaters in large numbers, hoping to avoid trouble with the strongest side. The Potters were already facing the problems which come with being aligned with the "losing" side. It didn't help that her own son was the mascot of the Dark Arts. She sighed.

"Lily!" He heard her husband yell frantically from downstairs. "Are you there? Lily?"

Her book long forgotten, Lily rushed down the stairs and right into James' drawn wand. "What's wrong?" she asked breathless.

His eyes hardened, "What is my animagus form?"

"A stag," she answered quickly.

James' sighed in relief before hugging her tightly. "Remus said that…" he looked at her lovingly, "I-I-I thought… something had happened." He straightened and tried to calm himself. "Grab the Henry and Sammie. Something has happened and we need to go to headquarters immediately.

Lily paled but turned to get the children. James went to find their emergency pack. Ever since they had first gone into hiding, Lily had insisted on them having an emergency pack. Trunk filled with important valuables, clothes, and documents in case something was to happen and they needed to leave immediately. He turned just in time to see his wife leading a wide-eyed Henry, holding his sleeping sister. James pulled out a portkey and the family disappeared.


Harry woke up groggy and disoriented. He looked up and was annoyed to see the bright white walls of the hospital wing greeting him. The hospital wing? He thought, What did I do now? He tried to move only to find that his hands and feet were bound to a chair. He turned his head and saw Remus and… Sirius?

Sirius removed the silencing charm from his godson. "I want to ask the traitor a few questions," he told Remus.

"Sirius?" Harry said in shock. His head swam with question "What happened? How did you—".

"Shut up!" Sirius roared, "I ask the questions! You speak when spoken to!"

Harry closed his eyes. Something was wrong. His godfather would have never spoken to him like that.

"What was your mission?" Sirius asked harshly.

"Mission? W-What mission?" Harry asked dazed by the current events.

"Don't play the fool, boy! You know exactly what I mean. What were your orders from the Dark Lord? What were the plans concerning your parents?"

"The Dark Lord?" Harry asked, "My parents? What do you mean? Their dead! They were killed by Voldemort." Harry was confused. These were meaningless questions.

Sirius paled. "Dead?"

"Yes," Harry said slowly, "They were murdered a while ago. They weren't able to escape Voldemort—"

"Shutup!" Sirius roared. "I don't want to hear another one of your lies!"

Remus, who had been sitting silently, had paled at the mention of the Potter's deaths. He slowly walked up behind Sirius who was glaring daggers at the boy in front of him. "They're fine," he started, "James is bringing them here—"

Sirius calmed slightly. He looked at Remus before turning back to Harry. "If any of them are even slightly harmed, I'll make you wish for your death," he growled.


"Professor," Harry said, his voice full of malice, "Imagine meeting you here."

Dumbledore's blue eyes immediately lost their proclaimed twinkle at Harry's harsh words. The headmaster rubbed at his eyes tiredly. "I am sorry that you still distrust me Harry. I had hoped that we could have gotten over our slight disagreement."

"You call our last meeting a 'slight disagreement'?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Potter!" Snape called out, "I may restrain myself when you act like the mindless fool you are towards me, however better respect must be shown towards Dumbledore."

"Severus, there is no need—" Albus said calmly.

"You!" Harry whirled around to face his mentor. "You took me to Dumbledore?" Harry snarled and whipped out his wand. "So Snape, you're the one who has been spying on the Dark Lord! Oh, he's going to have a field day when he hears about this!"

Quickly and without warning, Harry shot the killing curse at the professor and another at Snape. Realizing that he was both out numbered and outmatched by both Harry ran from the room hoping to escape the Black mansion.

Barely able to jump out of the way of the two spells, the men rushed after the boy. Harry was half-way down the hall before he was hit by four extra-strength stunners in the back.


A/N: Yes, Yes, Yes, I know… I haven't updated in forever, and I'm sure quite a few of you had given up on me. I'm sorry, and unfortunately I have the usual excuses of the procrastinating writer, school, specifically Physics starts to cry at the mention of such a horrible subject, but I am currently on winter break until the 16th so I have time to write. Oh yeah, my mother just had a baby, so I now have a little sis named Tessa. She's really cute and she was 7 lbs. 1 oz. But anyway, I digress. I really am sorry for the delay, but I really can't make any promises on when the next chapter comes out. By the way, Does anyone have any recommendations on a beta reader? Thank you all for your reviews! To be honest, your reviews made me get off my lazy behind and write another chapter.
