Everything went to Shite!
First the Vision was a trap. Padfoot never left the so-called safety of Headquaters, so Tommy was never able to torture him. Umbitch just had to open her amphibian face, and make everything that much worse. The trip on thestral-back, while quick and freeing, it was too cold and fast to really enjoy it. The break in was too easy, but in their rush to beat Tommy and his 'Boys' to the prize, they overlooked it.
Then the Dragon flew overhead.
Six students versus twelve Adult Death Eaters. A running Battle through the DoM, and every time the DEs fell, they would pop up again. The Students split up, drawing the Adults of in pairs. While the kids were holding their own, they never could get a leg up.
Then the Order arrived, and all order vanished.
Everyone ended up in the Death Chamber. Padfoot got caught in a 'game of tag' with Bellatrix. They were taunting one another, when Sirius passed in front of the Arch…
The Dragon let the Shite fly…
Black was hit in the chest with a knockback jinx, throwing the haggrid magus into the shimmering veil. Harry, not thinking, just reacting, followed him, sliding across the dais into the Void…

Ever hear the one about two wizards falling out of the Sky?
One Sirius Orion Black Slammed into the Sandy Scruff from about ten feet up. The impact drove the breath from his lungs, the wand from his hand and sight from his eyes. He lay there gasping and blinking in the cold dawn light. No Sooner than he regained control of his body's Basic functions, Something or rather Someone landed in his lap.
Literally.
Harry Potter having dove, head first, to skid along the polished marble like stone, into the Veil, exited the vortex the same way he entered it. I.e. headfirst… right into Black's crotch.
Black's reaction was immediate. He snapped in half like a bear trap. As he cradled his abused self, he recognized the scent of his Attacker. "Ah, Pup. While I appreciate the enthusiasm, that type of greeting is reserved for Females of Ages of Consent."
Potter having sat back on his heels, spoke the only words that came to mind.
"Sorry, My Bad."

Everything was going to plan.
Harry Potter had come running.
Okay, so he brought a few friends. What harm can six school children do against the might of the Dark Lord's finest?
Potter found the Orb, and plucked it from the shelf…
Why Did the Boy have to be Gryffondor? He smashed the Orb rather than surrender it. Where is the value in that?
Where did those Brats go? I need to drag them before the Dark Lord, or the pain…
Who are these interlopers? How Dare they interfere with our sport! If they want to play, Let Us Play!
All this was running through Lucius Malfoy's mind as the night unfolded. When everybody ended up in the Death Chamber, the Blond Beauty pressed his wand to his 'tattoo' picturing Potter pinned before him. Just as the mongrel Black was hit in the chest, Luci felt the oppressive presence of his Master. Together, they watched Potter slide into the shimmering gateway.
"I have Beaten Potter!" The Dark One crowed, "I have Ahhh!" he crumpled to his knees.
Bellatrix was quickly at his side. She made the Call. "Everyone! Home!" and she vanished in a blue flash of a portkey, taking her Master.
The black robed Death Eaters were a second behind her.

Everything was going to plan… until that pigheaded brat followed his God-Father into the beyond. Albus was pissed, twenty years of hard work down the drain, just because he waited five seconds to make an entrance!
Longbottom was trying to help Granger with her wound, Ginny guided her Brother back to the group.
"What the Bloody Hell happened there?"
Luna, staring into the archway, recited in a dreamy voice;
Bone of The Father, Anchors the Body
Flesh of The Servant, Rebuilds the Body
Blood of The Enemy, Rekindles the Magic
Then the tone of voice changed, to an arctic wind over the icey dunes;
Have Grim, Will Travel
Lost, waiting to be found.
Raven among Lions, Seeks
Exsanguis,Dark Lord Bound
Last of Pack, Answer Reflected.
Return Boy and his Hound.
Luna shook her head, "You catch that? I can feel them coming, but never remember after."
Granger groaned as she sat up, "I got them both. I will tell you later, Luna. The first detailed what the ritual that Harry was part of last year. 'Bone of the Father, unknowingly given' and all that. It seems that wherever Harry is, as long as he is not here, Tommy-boy is limited in the magic department."
"And the Other?" Ginny asked, "Where is Harry?"
"No Idea. The second Prophecy did not say up front." Granger hissed as she shifted.

Soon Padfoot was able to pull himself together and to his feet. Harry joined him peering about, scanning the horizon for clues as to where they were. A Wandless, silent summoning caused 'his' wand to jump into his hand.
"Well Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore." Harry shielded his eyes.
"Well, We did not fly over, and that was no Rainbow." Sirius grinned at his godson, "And don't call me Toto!"
