Chapter Four

Tom Riddle V.S. Sirius Black

Previously:

The four turned around the corner into Knockturn alley. They came face to face with Tom Riddle.

Voldemort looked at the four teenagers for a few seconds. Standing behind him, were no more then twenty Death Eaters.

"Voldemort…" Harry whispered. Voldemort sneered at him.

"Seize them." Commanded Voldemort. Before, Harry could even move a muscle; he was grabbed from behind by a tall Death Eater.

The Death Eater put a strong arm around his neck. Ginny was pinned to a wall; Hermione and Ron were both tied up.

Harry turned his eyes to Voldemort.

"What do you want?" Growled Harry.

"What else, Harry? You."

"People will see you! And the Ministry will come!" Screamed Harry.

"Ah, but you see, I always put a spell on me and my Death Eaters, so that we can't be detected or seen."

"Then why can we see you?" Voldemort was beginning to look annoyed.

"Because, Potter, it's cause of your scar. Your friends can see me, well, because they're your friends." Harry glared at Voldemort.

"I heard from one of my Death Eaters, that you're getting married. Be shure to invite me." Harry just stared at Voldemort.

"Harry? Harry? Oh, Blast, where can that boy have gone?" Someone was calling for him. Harry was about to shout back, when the Death Eater covered his mouth with a hand.

Sirius turned the corner, but passed right by them. Harry shut his eyes. Finally, the Death Eater removed his hand.

Then, a spell was shot at Voldemort, he blocked it easily. Voldemort turned around. Sirius was standing there, wand in hand. Sirius's eyes flickered over the struggling teenagers.

"What are you doing here, Voldemort?" Asked Sirius. Eyes returning to the Dark Lord. He looked ready to attack the monster standing in front of him.

"I would never miss a trip to Diagon Alley, Black. What are you doing here? Aren't you the second most wanted criminal in all of England?"

"Yes, but everyone thinks I'm dead, so, it doesn't really matter." Stated Sirius. "Now let my Godson go." Sirius added.

"Why should i?"

"Then, I won't strike you down." Sirius answered simply. Voldemort pointed his wand at Black.

"Come on, then." Said Voldemort.

"Expelliarmus!" Screamed Sirius. The spell zoomed towards Voldemort, who dogged it easily.

"Crucio!" Sirius jumped out of the way in time to avoid the spell.

"Stupefy!" Voldemort blocked the stunner.

"Crucio!" This time, Sirius wasn't so lucky. The spell hit him in the chest. He fell to the ground, and began withering and screaming.

"SIRIUS!" Harry yelled. Tears were falling down his face. Voldemort lifted the spell, and Sirius scrambled up.

"Diffindo!" Voldemort blocked the curse again.

"Avis!" A flock of birds appeared from Sirius's wand, and soared at Voldemort. The Dark Lord killed the birds with a blast of green light.

"Flipendo!" Sirius was knocked to the ground. Voldemort smirked at the body of Sirius. Sirius looked like he was about to faint. Sirius got shakily to his feet.

"Locomotor Mortis." The spell missed Voldemort by an inch. Just then, spells began to come from every direction.

Ministry wizards were appearing everywhere. Harry was thrown to the ground, Ginny fell beside him. There was the sound of people apparating. Harry looked up; all the Death Eaters were gone.

Harry got up. He grabbed Ginny's hand, and pulled her to her feet. Harry ran to Hermione and Ron and untied them.

"Thanks." Ron muttered. Harry nodded. He turned around and saw Sirius, he looked paler then usual. Harry ran over to him, just as he was about to fall. Harry grabbed him before he hit the floor. Harry gave Sirius a smile.

"You did it, Sirius!" Sirius looked up at Harry. "That was the best dueling I've ever seen!"

"Thanks."
