Bellatrix's second chance Chapter 85: (BSC C27) C85 A Patronus goes on and on, a harry potter fanfic

A/N Thank you all for the reviews like always I appreciate them a lot. Harry Potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.

(BSC C27) C85 A Patronus goes on and on and on.

While Harry was on his way to the forbidden forest Amelia went a little closer to Peter Pettigrew. Now it was all up to her to get the freedom of Sirius a fact and to get him back into her arms but this time as a free man not as an escaped convict. The only thing that still troubled her a bit was that they had kept it all a secret but it had been Harry who had seen through it all. Why it had to be him was the big question mark she had.

With a deep sigh, she gazed around for one more time at all the people that were around her. Fudge and that toad of hers would be her biggest problem if she would let them. So she silently counted on Minerva and Zanita to keep them in line. The same implied for Albus who had just walked into the room of the tower.

She had asked for Albus because of the one thing Peter had just told them. She still remembered every word as he told that Albus had been the one to make Peter into the secret keeper of the Potters. So he knew that Sirius had been innocent of the betrayal of the potters and had been in Azkaban, A place where he should never have been. But it had to be something that had to wait for later.

"Okay Pettigrew, were you and are you still a death eater" was her first question from the moment Harry had left the room.

"Yes, I was a death eater and I'm still a death eater because if you become a death eater you will always be a death eater. And I became one from the moment I left Hogwarts".

"Are there any other death eaters that are still walking on the outside of Azkaban" Amelia knew it was a trick question but she hoped he would give the name of Lucius so she could finally get that piece of crap off the streets.

"There is Lucius Malfoy".

Yes, Amelia thought. His first name and it was the jackpot.

"Parkinson, Grabbe, Goyle and Severus Snape" Pettigrew told them.

Peter had just finished with the names when both, Albus and Fudge spoke up.

"Severus has my full confidence" Albus stated from his spot near the door as Fudge said. "Lucius has been Imperius when he took the mark and has been cleared of all charges".

Peter who was still under the influence of the Veritaserum Responded to Fudge "That is not true, everyone takes the dark mark off their own free will. Maybe they do it whit some fear, but it is always out of free will".

Everyone in the room knew instantly that Peter had been the one who had taken the mark with fear but none commented about it.

Amelia, on the other hand, took this opportunity and asked a quick question. "What do you mean by that?"

"Everyone has to do some deeds to earn the mark and as far as I know there has only been one person who got the mark that was against their will," Peter told her.

"That has to be Lucius just like he told us" Delores Umbridge sneered from her side.

"No, he wasn't. The only one who took the mark against her will had been Bellatrix. She never wanted it but the compulsion Charm, the loyalty charm and the slavery charm on her marriage contract made her take the Dark Mark".

"I don't believe you" Umbridge sneered again. "Were you there when Bellatrix or Lucius took the mark".

"No I wasn't" Peter answered her honestly because the potion made him do it.

"See," Delores told everybody and nobody at ones with a lot of glee in her voice. "He wasn't there so he cannot know. Lucius was Imperius just like he said he was.

Amelia shook her head, she was sure that he took the mark willingly but the statement of Umbitch had thrown it all down the drain. She could not hold it up in court because Umbridge had single-handedly made an excuse for Lucius one that would be helped with the statement of the minister. She was of no doubt that Fudge would do every single thing in the book just to keep his main benefactor out of Azkaban. The bitch had even said her statement in a way that not even Bellatrix would be believed.

After a little sigh, Amelia went on. "Peter, you were the secret keeper, so tell me why did you betray the Potters if you were their friend".

"Yes, I was their friend at Hogwarts but just like all the other Death Eaters. I joined them the moment I was done with my newts. I didn't tell my friends as everyone knows I'm not the most powerful wizard there is. A was only allowed to become a death eater because of my ability to become a rat Animagus. Now I told my lord I could become of use because I was friends with The Potters which Lucius confirmed for me. So the moment they asked me to be their secret keeper it was the best present I could gif my Lord".

Amelia had noticed the Peter didn't say that Albus had been the one to make him the secret keeper so she had to rectify it. "Who made you their secret keeper".

"I was made secret keeper by Albus Dumbledore, but he never knew that I had joined He who must not be named".

Amelia had to curse silently. This has been the second time that someone else made an excuse for one of her suspects. This time it was Peter who did it for Albus. With everything he had done wrong, this could have been the one thing to get him convicted but it wasn't so, but the same could be said about Fudge, he would be the minister for a lot longer after this all thanks to his toad.

*#*

^Grandma, you have to make sure that Peter tells them for a second time that Sirius is innocent. You also have to make sure that when you all leave, that he is left alone, this is very important because he has to escape tonight^.

^Harry James Potter, what in Merlin's name are you talking about, you can't be Serious about setting that rat-free after what he had done to your parents, my daughter, and son in law^ Minerva almost screamed at him.

^Sorry Grandma, but it has to happen. I like it just as much as you do but it has to happen. I promise you that I will explain it all to you after we have found the girls, but I can tell you this, Bella has seen something and that's the reason why^.

^I hope you are right Harry^ Minerva told him.

^Me too grandma. Me too^ Harry told her.

Minerva was slowly making her way over to Amelia who was still interrogating Peter. She slowly bent down to Amelia and whispered what Harry had told her in Amelia's ear.

Amelia who was in mid-question snapped her mouth shut with an audible snap. She gazed over ad Minerva and gazed right in her eye. "YOU ARE SHITTING ME" she growled.

"No, that is exactly what Harry told me, and it has to happen tonight".

"Minerva, I can't just do that you know".

"I know Amelia, We let it go for now and see what we do later tonight, but as of now we have to get a dog free to be neutered".

Amelia wanted to scream, No way, but she kept her mouth. The dog had her hart in his hands, but that was something she could not tell her, but it was also something she wanted to do so badly to say. "Okay, these are the last couple of questions I have for you. Sirius was not the secret keeper of the Potters, but is he responsible for the death of the thirteen muggles".

"No, Sirius was chasing me when he found out that the Potters were killed by my master. I didn't yet know that my master was also killed in the attack, so I just ran in the hope to get away. Somewhere in Muggle London Sirius cornered me in a corner. I didn't know what to do so I just went with my gut feeling. I started to scream that Sirius had killed the Potters. He was a little surprised that I screamed and it gave me an opportunity. So I threw him the one spell I'm good at which was a chuckling charm. He was very startled by it and just laughed. After that I used a Bombarde curse on the ground and in my hurry, I hit a Gas tube. It blew up and that killed the thirteen Muggles".

"If you blew up the street, then how was it that you got away and that you only lost a finger? And how is it that you could hide for so long".

"The blast was away from me so I saw it as the Ideal escape plan. Everybody would assume that I was killed in the blast if they knew I was there. So I cut off my finger and escaped in my Animagus form. After that, I ate out of garbage cans and traveled the streets looking for a place to sleep. It was in front of the pet store that a redheaded boy plugged me from the street claiming that I had escaped from the store. At first, I wanted to reveal myself but thought differently about it. This was my way to stay with a wizarding family, getting enough to eat and a place to wait until my master returned".

I know you stayed with the Weasley Family, but did they know you were there and what you did".

"No, they never knew. I hid all around and only came out of my Animagus form whet they were away. On those moments I could eat a lot and they would never know".

That had been the last question Amelia asked Peter. She wanted to ask more but she still had to get a dog his freedom. Other than that they still had to go and find the two girls and if she was totally honest she hoped that the others had already found them.

While Tonks gave Peter the antidote to the Veritaserum, Amelia took Minister Fudge and his personal toad back to the great hall.

On the way back Fudge started to scream. "I don't get it, Amelia. We could have killed them both it was clear that Peter was guilty and that he did everything to frame Sirius. So if you ask me they were in it together. So I would go for a dementors kiss on the both of them".

"Hear, Hear" Delores screamed.

Amelia rolled her eyes and ignored the tirade the both of them were throwing at her. "The first thing we have to do Minister is to find the two missing children. After that, we could do whatever you want and only with the permission of King Hogwarts.

Fudge nodded but it was clear to Amelia that it was the last thing he wanted to agree with.

The only one who did have something to say about it was Albus Dumbledore. "Can't we see reason? Peter hasn't done that a lot of wrong. Sure there were thirteen Muggles killed in that blast but he still deserves a second chance. As for the other thing we can't fault him for hiding for ten years now can we".

"Are you forgetting that he betrayed the Potters? He framed Sirius for something he did and you are talking about second chances" Amelia snapped. "Not even considering the fact that Sirius had been in Azkaban for 12 years because he has been the betrayer of the Potters. Something we all now know isn't true. You were the one who made Peter the secret keeper".

Albus wanted to protest but Amelia went on. "Yes, Albus I know that you didn't know that Peter had become a death eater but you still knew that he was the secret keeper and not Sirius. So that was the one thing you could have prevented but you didn't".

^Grandmother I'm sorry, Get Poppy I'm really Sorry^ Harry screamed in his mind.

^Harry, Harry, Cub do you hear me^ Minerva screamed back in her mind for more than two minutes. But from her first to her last scream there was no response. Slowly she became really helpless and ran over to Amelia who was walking twenty meters in front of her. She could not shake the thought of Harry out of her mind. It troubled her a lot and Amelia was the one person she could talk to at this time. "Amelia we got to talk," Minerva said as she pulled her along and away from the others by the arm. "Harry just told me he was Sorry, He also told me to get Poppy but he isn't responding now, not even a sigh. The other thing is I can't feel him anymore and I don't know what it means".

"Minerva I really don't know what to say. I can only tell you that I will take these two to the great hall. You, just go on to Poppy. If there is anyone who can tell you what it means, then it will be her. If I can I will send Zanita after you".

Tonks who had been walking behind Amelia hurried on just to hear what Minerva had to say. She didn't understand anything about what she said about her hearing and feeling Harry. But the one thing she did understand was that her brother was in trouble and that was all she needed to know and ran out of Hogwarts straight to the forbidden forest.

*#*

Well, it might not surprise you but let's go back a little. Peter had just been captured and was brought to the castle.

Hermione and Neville were just walking out of the castle when they saw Harry coming towards them. Daphne was next to him and behind them were the others with a floating body between them. The only thing they prayed on was that they had found one of the girls and that it wasn't anything serious.

They all ran over to Harry and see what he had to say. The first thing he told them was that they had to go to the hospital wing to see how Bella was doing. He would go with Amelia to find out what Peter had done with the two girls. Harry stopped Daphne and pointed at the Whomping Willow. "Professor Flitwick has just come out. Can you go over there and tell him before you go to Bella".

Daphne nodded and ran away.

*#*

Poppy was a little startled when her doors were busted open. "Really can't anyone knock before they come in"? The moment she saw Bella hanging on the neck of Susan her healer's face was gone and her concert aunty face had appeared. She went over in business mode, "Putt her over there on the empty bed".

She didn't need to tell anyone to step aside because when she spoke like that everyone would move instantly. Plus the only one with her was Susan; she did wonder why Harry or Daphne wasn't here. It would be something she would ask them later because she didn't like it. As she waived her wand a couple of times over the body of Bella, she gave a little sigh of relieve.

Susan looked on and saw the color return on the cheeks of Bella.

Bella slowly pushed herself up on her elbows and looked around the infirmary. Suddenly her eyes turned to the back of her head as a memory of her older self-showed itself in her mind.

*Yes, it is true my faithful death eaters. Young Mr. Potter as noble as he is stupid he convinced his friend to let Pettigrew go. No, If I were him I would have strung him up on his ears but like I said Mr. Potter was noble. Fudge wanted to give him to the Dementors but Mr. Potter saved him. Now, Normally Peter would own him a life debt but because it wasn't Potter who freed him but Lucius the Life debt goes to him* and Voldemort smiled at Lucius. Now Peter here fled the country and went in search for me, something Narcissa told him to do* Thank you Narcissa*.

*Now Peter found me and together with Barty Jr. He made sure I was able to return in the fourth year of the education of Mr. Potter. Now don't get me wrong, Peter didn't come to me out of loyalty but mostly out of fear* and Bella saw Voldemort giving a dirty look at Peter.

*Now at the end of last year something I will tell you all later, this Potter boy got away again. And I will tell you this he only got away out of pure luck. So it is up to us to make some plans for the capture of this foul piece of shit. The first thing we have to do is push Potter and Dumbledore into a corner*.

Bella flashed her eyes through the infirmary but didn't really see anything as the memory went on.

*Now I have learned from the fact that Minister Fudge doesn't want to know anything about my supposed return and that is something we have to explore to its full abilities. Now the best person for that job will be Lucius. He will make sure that Fudge will never believe that Potter brat. Draco, however, will be the thorn in the side of Potter at the school. The other thing will be done by Severus. Severus will protect Draco at every turn, humiliate Potter at every chance he gets and make sure his life is will be a living hell.

We, my faithful death eaters we have to find a prophecy that was made about me and that Potter brat. That is the thing we have to find out while we spread sorry and misery among the wizarding world. We will do all of this to bring down the influence Potter has on the people around him. He had to be doubt and if possible hated by most of the people around him*.

The eyes of Bella turned back to Susan and started to fill themselves with tears. Behind a wall of water, she looked over at Poppy and almost begged her to let her go to Harry.

"I don't know Bella you have a concussion and I really think you have to stay here at least for tonight," Poppy said as she looked apologetic at Bella.

"But aunty I really have to go to Harry, I have seen a memory and I have to tell him about it" she gazed at the ground and almost whispered. "It was a memory of my older me and if I don't then It will all be for nothing".

Susan who was still standing at the side heard the words and rushed to the side of Bella. "Aunty you have to listen to her. We have been training for when he returns and you know that he will, so we have to tell Harry".

Poppy looked from Bella to Susan. She never had children and she had been an only child. So the moment both Susan and Bella called her aunty she was basically sold. Slowly she placed her hand on the hand of Bella and nodded. "Okay, but you have to get back here the moment you tell him".

Bella jumped from her bed and hugged her aunty around the waist before she and Susan rushed out of the infirmary in search for Harry.

As the two of them ran down the corridors they came by Professor Severus Snape. With the memory still fresh in her mind Bella rushed forward and pushed him as hard as she could. He stumbled to the ground as they passed him and scream that he would have them in detention for the rest of the year.

Bella and Susan didn't look back but Bella screamed over her shoulder. "Forget it you death eater".

With two steps at a time, they ran down and straight to the great hall leaving a stunned Severus behind. When they entered they came to a sudden stop. In the middle of the great hall, they saw Harry standing between what looked like a hundred elves and the rest of the family.

*#*

Okay, I will take it a little bit back again. Everyone in the tower had heard what Pettigrew had done with the two girls.

Harry rushed out of the tower and down the stairway he didn't look back and only ran down halfway down he called for Snot, Dobby and Mini and Maxi. And even if Dobby was the house-elf of Arabella he could always call on him if he needed him.

As he took the steps down the steps, told them they had to get everybody that could help him in his search for the two girls. He knew that the house elves would have everybody in the great hall the moment he would enter it.

As he entered the great hall he saw that they hadn't disappointed him. There in the middle of the great hall stood all of his friends minus Bella and Susan. All of the adults and to his shock all of the house elves of Hogwarts. He was a little sad when he didn't see Bella but he knew that she was in good hands with Poppy.

The moment he stepped into the middle of the group he looked at the entrance and saw Susan standing there with Bella at her side.

Daphne who had been waiting for Harry saw her and rushed to her side hugging her intently she then kissed her full on the lips to immediately pat her all over just to see if she was all there. "I thought you wouldn't make it and that poppy would keep you in the infirmary".

After a moment Harry coughed and took the floor. "We know where Ginny and Astoria might be. We don't know the exact spot but we do have a clear area where they are. While we go and search for the girls, Miss Bones will be questioning Pettigrew for more information". Harry knew that Amelia would be asking other questions but he didn't need to tell them that.

Harry waited while everybody left the great hall. He took Bella in a hug and was about to follow the others when Bella kept him and Daphne behind. With a little hesitation in her voice, she told them about her memory and what she thought it was.

Harry turned to her and looked her in the eye. Belle instantly knew what he wanted and took him in; she showed him the memory that only took a second in her mind.

"Great Balls of Merlin" Harry screamed. His voice carried down the hallway as it made everybody stop and look at him. Whit his hands in his hair he started to walk from left to right and back.

In the meanwhile, Bella showed the memory to Daphne. The curse she exclaimed was so rare that many of the adults told themselves to look it up later.

The Memory didn't really tell them a lot, but the one thing it did tell them was that Peter had to be set free. So Harry did the one thing he could do and talked to his grandmother. ^Grandma, you have to make sure that Peter tells them for a second time that Sirius is free. You also have to make sure that when you all leave, that he is left alone, this is very important because he has to escape tonight^.

^Harry James Potter, what in Merlin's name are you talking about, you can't be Serious about setting that rat-free after what he had done to your parents and my daughter and son in law^ Minerva almost screamed at him.

^I hope you are right Harry^ Minerva told him.

^Me too grandma. Me too^ Harry told her.

Harry took Bella and Daphne by the hand as he started to follow the others to the forbidden forest in search of the two girls. On his way down to the Forest, he told them that he had told it all to his grandmother and also in the way he had done it.

It stopped the two girls as they looked at him with an open mouth. "Harry that is wonderful, Do you think we could ever do that".

Harry just shrugged his shoulders as he walked on.

*#*

We are almost there, back in the forbidden Forrest with Astoria and Ginny.

When Ginny opened her eyes she saw that the sun had already gone down. The moon was bright and it lighted the ground around her. It wasn't much but enough to look around. The stars were bright and the moon beautiful if she wasn't so afraid. She crawled out of the bushes she was laying in and started to look for Astoria. She found her lying a couple of meters away from her she gave and sigh of relieve. Astoria was lying in an odd angle one that was most definitely hurting her, but she was awake. With pain in her body, Ginny started to craw over to Astoria and lay down beside her.

"Hi, how are you doing" Ginny wanted to say something ells but through the stress, she couldn't think of something ells and this had been the first thing that came out of her mouth.

Astoria smiled with a hurtful smile she painfully said "It hurts but I'm okay, just a little tired.

Ginny smiled back "We have to go, we can't stay here".

As Astoria nodded they started to crawl up and leaned on each other as they made their way out of the forest. After thirty minutes of struggling on their feet, they came to an open field. It was surrounded by trees. Not a place to stay long but a good place to rest. Without a lot of pressure, they dropped down and rested at the spot.

Ginny sat up and took the head of Astoria in her lap. She herself was barely holding on and Astoria was even worse. As Ginny rubbed her head she again felt some wetness on her hand. The head wound had opened again and the eyes of Astoria were struggling to remain open.

Ginny pulled off her robe and made a pillow from it. She laid it under the head of Astoria. As she took off her jumper she started to try and stopped the bleeding as best as she could.

Even if it was against her better judgment, Ginny tried to do the best she could just to help Astoria, even while she herself was almost just as dead on her feet. Ginny laid Astoria next to her on the ground and lay down beside her.

Astoria turned her head to the side to look at Ginny. "Go on, you go on and get help. Just leave me here; you are much faster on your own" Astoria told her softly.

Ginny shook her head from left to right. She looked Astoria in the eyes. "Astoria, my new father would not leave you alone and neither will I. He taught me that Family is very important and you have to do everything you can to keep it even if they are not family by blood but by choice. My old family was mostly doing everything they could the take care of themselves. We were seen as a family but we were mostly individuals taking care of their own needs. Now because Harry is my father on paper but more my big brother he sees me as his sister just like he sees you. You are his sister and so you are mine. I will stay here just like he would even if it will be the rest of the night".

The both of them awoke two hours later shivering from the cold. At first, they tried to get warmer by coming closer together but slowly the realized what they were feeling at it wasn't just the cold the felt.

Astoria looked up and started to see Harry lying on the hospital bed. He was completely wrapped up in bandages and breathing slowly and deeply. He wasn't making a sound but his face was one of pain and misery. She knew these were the images she saw when Dementors were near.

Ginny looked at Astoria when she saw tears starting to fill her eyes. She wanted to say something but Astoria changed into the secret chamber. She was looking at a dying Harry who had just saved her. He had been penetrated by a fang of the basilisk and was paying the price of saving her.

None of the two girls knew what they had to do now. They closed their eyes and could only look at the images that were flooding their thoughts. The feeling of cold was getting greater and it started to frees their fingers and toes. It told them that there were more and more Dementors coming to them, how many of them there were they didn't know but there were a lot of them.

Both of them were starting to wish that it would all be over and that they would get the dementors kiss so they could have some piece of mind and not see the images they were seeing.

Images that were coming faster and faster, suddenly they were gone, they didn't see anything but they heard shouting from the edge of the open area they were laying in.

"Keep your eyes closed and your mouth against my shirt. Only breathe through your nose. This way the Dementors can't suck out your soul" was the only thing they heard from the body that was now laying on top of them.

*#*

Back to the search party.

Everyone had separated by a meter or two as they walked into the forest looking at every square inch on the ground. In a straight line, they walked on with Harry between Daphne and David.

Bella was walking next to her new mother-in-law as they entered the forest.

Isabella was a bundle of nerve just like Harry was and took a lot of comfort in the calming feelings from Bella. Who took her hand and she calmed down even more. As the feelings of peace washed over her she could not help herself and asked a question that was nagging her. "Bella what is the deal between you and Daphne".

Why she asked the question she didn't know but it was something she kept seeing more and more. The relationship between the three of them was more a relationship between the two of them with one Harry.

Bella bit her lower lip and started to look guilty at the ground. "I don't know Mum," she said. "But when I'm with Daphne it's like I feel more for her that I do for Harry. I LOVE HIM" she almost shouted. "But it is a feeling that I have, it's something different then the love I feel for Daphne".

Bella knew that she could tell Isabella anything she needed but she still felt guilty for feeling this way. Harry had done so much for her and he has always been there for her just like he would be for the rest of her life because of the contract they had. Something told her that she shouldn't say this but she just couldn't lie to Isabella.

Isabella smiled softly. This had been on her mind for some time now and it was also something she wanted to discuss with the two girls. This was not the time she wanted to do it but she was glad to have something to take her mind away from the thing she was doing now. "Bella, it's not as bad as you think it is. I remember you from our school days. You were younger but it was clear for everyone to see. You were more into girls then you were into boys. It means that you are bisexual. It means that you are attracted to both girls and boys, just like Daphne does. Now the feelings you have for Daphne are different but it doesn't mean you love Harry any less. It only means that when you're making love with Harry or Daphne you can have a little more pleasure with Daphne than you would with Harry. The same can be said for Daphne but the two of you will have enough love to pleasure Harry. But that has nothing to do with the love you feel for Harry or Daphne they are both the same. The other thing you are feeling is lust and that is what you feel more of with Daphne. It will also be something I will explain to you later".

Now Isabella didn't know if it was completely true in what she said but she knew that Bella loved her daughter and Harry just as much, so she didn't want her to have any doubt about that.

Isabella smiled again as she pulled Bella into a quick hug. "And don't worry about Harry. He has two beautiful Girls that love him and you two have one Harry to share. Harry will do everything for family just like he is doing now and just like he did in the restaurant. The same thing he will do for all of us just like he will always do" Isabella told Bella with a lot of pride in her voice.

Bella who felt a lot better now that Isabella had told her what it was she was feeling looked over at Harry. His eyes were focused on the task that lay ahead. She almost felt sorry with whatever stepped in his way because it wouldn't end nicely for them if they did.

As the group went on with the line they were walking the heard a lot of animals roaming around them. It wasn't good for their nerves but it kept them focus just like it had done for the last hour they had been at it. Suddenly it started to get colder and colder.

Augusta who was the last in line and the first to feel the cold looked at the ground where little flowers started to freeze. Everything around her was getting that little layer of frost around it. As Augusta looked at the ground she started to see memories from the past. She saw her Frank and Alice how they lay in the room twisting screaming silent screams. Her memory changed into the memory of little Neville lying in the closet underneath a stack of clothing.

While everyone got their own memories there was one who didn't. David walked at the other end of the group, his memory was a thought of a mad Harry when he told him about the contract between Daphne and Draco Malfoy. He was sure that if that day would come he not only had to run for his life but he also had to hide for the rest of it".

Isabella was seeing Harry laying on the hospital bed all wrapped in bandages. It was the same memory as the one from Astoria but it was something she didn't know.

Slowly it started to get colder and colder all around them.

"Everyone stay together and keep your wand at the ready to call your Patronus if needed" David screamed as the line went on. Harry suddenly stopped as he looked up at the sky.

Daphne and Bella saw him stop and were sure that he saw the memory of his dying mother again. Both of them rushed to harry to help him if needed and ignored David who was screaming at them that they had to stay with the group. When they came to his side he lowered his head and scanned the forest for something. Bella and Daphne started to look around at the trees but they didn't know what they were looking for.

"It's the Dementors. They have found something to feed on and I'm sure that I know what it is" and Harry started to run into the forest.

Bella and Daphne didn't hesitate for a moment and ran after him. David started to scream even louder that they had to stay with the group but it didn't work as he slowly saw them disappear. David gave up and started to run after them. At the edge of a clearing, he came to a hold just behind Bella and Daphne. Almost fifty meters away from him he saw one Dementor after the other swooping down to immediately fly up sucking loudly. At first, he didn't see why, but then he saw to figure lying in the middle of the field.

With his gaze a little to the left he could see a person running to the figure that was lying on the ground. At first, he wasn't sure who it was but as he took a closer look it didn't really surprise him. Harry was the only person in the whole group who would do something this stupid and this brave.

"No, It's Astoria and Ginny who are lying there" sounded the scream from Daphne as she was the first to see who the figures were. She wanted to run to them but David held her back.

Bella who was standing next to Daphne started to scream to Harry that he had to get them and to come back.

*#*

Harry took off and didn't hear David screaming that he had to stop. The only thing he knew was that the Dementors had found something and that it wouldn't be long or they would have killed whoever it was. Now the one thing they had wasn't hart for him to figure out. There were only two persons left in the forest and that were Ginny and Astoria.

If they were lucky the girls would have split up when they saw the Dementors so they had only one left to save. But this was a kind of luck Harry wasn't counting on. When he came to the edge of a field he saw them lying there in the middle of it. The red hair mixed with the dark hair of Astoria was a dead giveaway for him and he ran faster and into the clearing.

When he was more than halfway he heard Daphne and Bella screaming. What they were screaming he didn't know or even cared. He had one thing on his mind and that was to save the two girls. When he was almost there he could hear Isabella started to scream at him just like Augusta did. With only a meter left he jumped and landed on top of them. With both his arms he pulled their head against his chest and told them to keep it there. He then told them to cover their mouths with his torso and to only breathe through their noses.

David who was looking around started to scream that they all had to call their Patronus. But the seven Patronuses had zero to no effect. They did push the Dementors a little away but that was all they did and it only took a minute for the others to become tired and to lose the hold on them.

Bella asked Dobby if he could get them out of their but they couldn't. Dobby then told her that when a Dementor was near a house elf the house elf became almost powerless. The first thing they wanted to do was run and that was exactly what many of the house elves had done except for the Potter elves.

Standing at the edge of the field they could only do one thing. They watched in horror as one Dementor after the other swooped down closer and closer to Harry and the two girls.

Isabella slumped down on her knees as she wanted to do something but couldn't.

Daphne and Bella were crying silently while they clamped together watching the way the Dementors were sucking the life away from Harry.

"Use your Patronus" Hermione screamed from her place at the edge of the clearing.

"He can't" Bella screamed back. "He threw his wand away when he was halfway". Something that became very clear when they all saw the wand only a meter or two in front of them as Bella pointed at the spot in the frozen grass.

Astoria was the first to open her eyes. She couldn't feel the cold anymore and thought that she had died. Slowly she started to look around but saw nothing but darkness. As she tried to move she realized that something or somebody was lying on top of her. She lifted her head back and saw some light and a shape of a head. Two eyes opened and she sucked in a breath as she saw the emerald green eyes of Harry. He wasn't really looking at her but she could see the eyes losing the life he had in them. "Call your Patronus Brother, please call it".

"Yes call it Harry, Call it dad" sounded the voice of Ginny next to her.

The eyes of Harry focused on the voices he heard and looked down at Astoria. As he looked into her blue eyes it gave him a little more strength the moment she called him her brother. His eyes shifted and gazed into the brown eyes of Ginny. When she called him dad he glowed a little more. He felt something inside him fire up and at the same moment something that extinguished. He nodded but his mind went to another place. "Keep your eyes closed, the both of you. Keep your mouth on my chest then so the Dementors cannot suck your soul" he told them softly.

As he closed his eyes he knew the one thing he had to do now. How he knew he would never know but he just knew it. ^Grandmother I'm sorry, Get Poppy I'm really Sorry^ Harry screamed in his mind.

^Harry, Harry, Cub do you hear me^ Minerva screamed back.

Harry heard his grandmother calling him but somehow he terminated the connection he had because he just knew that it would be the last thing he did. In his mind, he said the last words he had to say. 'I'm sorry mum, dad but I'm coming, I have to do this'.

As the Dementors were swooping down the body of Harry started to glow, a light that was inside of Harry started to radiate out of his body.

Everyone at the edge looked on at what was happening. No one had ever seen something like this but they all knew that it was something very special, the light that was like a ball around the body started to form into a mist to then form in an animal, in the shape of a stag.

"That is the father of Harry, I know that Patronus as the back of my hand" David screamed from the side.

Slowly the stag started to circle around the three persons keeping the Dementors at bay but that was all it could do.

Slowly the body of Harry started to radiate another light and it started to form into another Animal. Everyone looked at it as it turned slowly into a doe."And that is the Patronus of Lily" Isabella whispered.

The doe stood to the side of Harry as the stag took his other side. Again there was a light from Harry only this one was very weak. It formed into a small animal.

"There it's a calf," Bella said.

"It's Harry," Daphne told them as she clung even more to Bella.

It took the three Patronuses only ten seconds to get rid of the hundred Dementors that were circling around them. The calf started to fade into nothingness but the light didn't go back into Harry no, it just disappeared.

Slowly the Stag and doe walked over to Harry and pushed him a little with their snouts.

Bella and Daphne saw this and rushed over to Harry. They stopped a couple of steps away from him and looked at the still lying form of Harry. The stag went over and started to push Bella to Harry as the doe did the same with Daphne.

While Daphne and Bella sat down next to Harry the Stag and doe ran to the edge and into the forest and out of sight. It was in a little graveyard that the Patronuses came to a hold. They took a look at the headstones before they slowly started to sink into the graves.

A/N: this was it again for this week. See you all in two weeks.
