Chapter 17

"DUMBLEDOREEEE!" yelled Sirius Black looking absolutely furious.

"This is a private court session!" snapped Fudge. Sirius Black had been found innocent just two weeks ago, even though he had been proven innocent his accounts hadn't been given back to him. He hadn't been officially found, but here he was now in the court room 8 of the ministry of magic.

"He was my godson! I deserve to know" snapped Sirius.

"And my Cub!" snapped Lupin.

"Let them in" said Madam Bones, "they deserve to know."

"Where is my godson! Please don't tell me what they say in the paper is true!" said Sirius wide eyed a pleading look in his eyes. Everyone squirmed uncomfortably, Severus Snape had sent them all the papers from the last few weeks. Once they read them all they quickly made their way back from the underground.

"I'm sorry to say that its more than likely true, Dumbledore had a illegal well being spell on Harry" said Madam Bones sadly "It stopped working altogether it only happens when the person has died."

"Otherwise we would have had people out there looking for him" said Fudge "Just like we had people looking all over for him before this" Fudge felt absolutely defeated, and looked it too.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Sirius Black falling to his knees in utter despair. Sounding more like a dog than a human at this moment. Remus had tears running down his face, both of them had a look of men who were broken. Everything Remus and Sirius were living for was now gone.

Remus tried to console Sirius but he was dealing with the feeling of his own heart crushing. His cub was dead, the boy he had watched be brought into the world. It was why he had been in the war this time around, why he had tried and successfully gotten the werewolves on his side. Now it was all for nothing, their world had crashed in around them.

"Albus Dumbledore has been awarded a life sentence in Azkaban" said Madam Bones. "I know its no consolation so I shall not pretend that it is, I am sorry for your loss"

"Take him away!" snarled Fudge, as much as he didn't like Dumbledore he didn't want to have to send Sirius Black back to Azkaban prison for killing Dumbledore. So he wanted the man away before Sirius broke out of his stupor.

Thankfully the Azkaban Aurors realised the urgency and had him out of the doors before even Remus Lupin could throw a snarl his way. The rest of the people there felt really awful watching the two men on the floor grieving for what they knew the last of their family. They weren't stupid, Sirius had thought of James as a brother, he had been an uncle to Harry no doubt to loose the last connection he had of him was probably like hell.

"Here take this" sighed Severus, a portkey in his hand.

Severus realised the gravity of the situation when Sirius didn't even respond to his most hated enemy. Even Remus took hold of it, Severus knew deep down that even if he was taking them to Voldemort they wouldn't care - they were completely defeated.

Somehow it didn't make Severus happy like it would have a couple of years ago.

He was going soft that's what it was.

The portkey was activated and they were gone.

"This session has come to an end, select a new leader for the Wizengmot, now please I have another meeting to attend" said Fudge walking out of the room, an air of depression around him. The others thought he looked more like a dog leaving with its tail between its legs.

"Where have you brought us?" asked Remus lifelessly.

"Professor Snape you're back!" said a surprised Hermione, looking at the two men her eyes widened.

"Harry you better get here quick" said Hermione, her voice barely above a whisper she knew Harry would hear her anyway.

"What's the matter?" asked Harry coming down the stairs not noticing the two men.

"Harry?" asked a disbelieving looking Remus.

Hermione had forgotten Remus was a werewolf and had probably heard her no problem.

"Remus!" yelped Harry in surprise, looking a little worried now.

"Harry?" asked Sirius looking pale as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"You turned him?" gasped a shocked Remus.

"Turned? HARRYS A BLOODY VAMPIRE!? IM GOING TO KILL YOU SNAPE!" said Sirius he was so angry he even forgot to say Severus' hated nickname.

"HE SAVED MY LIFE!" snarled Harry standing protectively in front of Severus.

"What?" gasped an astonished Sirius, who looked like he was going to listen for once in his life.

"I was dying Sirius, I wouldn't be here right now if Severus hadn't found me" said Harry now on his knees beside Sirius.

What happened next surprised them all "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU" shouted Sirius overjoyed hugging Severus for all he was worth. Severus looked rather constipated and just stayed still until Sirius let him go. Remus followed Sirius' example and gave the man a little hug.

"It was you that wrote they things to the paper wasn't it?" asked Remus. "No one else could have known that much"

Harry grinned "Of course it was me! I had to bring him down somehow"

"Oh Harry" said Sirius hugging his godson for all it was worth, Harry hugged back making sure his strength didn't crush his godfather. He didn't have that restriction with Remus and was able to hug him without fear.

"So what are you going to do about Voldemort?" asked Severus.

"That paper should draw him out, he will hit a big magical place, tonight I should think. I think I know where it will be - Diagonally" said Harry grimly.

"Then we only have hours!" said Severus cursing, he should have come earlier especially when he found out about that bloody paper. He had known Harry was trying to draw Voldemort out.

"Whoa! Wait a minute, Harry you are not facing Voldemort!" said Sirius "I just thought I lost you I wont loose you again!"

"I'm a vampire Siri, I'm not going to die" said Harry rolling his eyes, still not out of those human habits just yet.

"But…" protested Sirius finding nothing to come up with.

"I need everyone's help!" said Harry "Who's with me?"

"I am" said Remus and Sirius adamantly knowing they weren't going to change Harry's mind. He was just like Lily when she was determined about something, so they best give in and participate.

"Count us in" said Ron, Hermione, Luna and Neville looking quite intimidating standing together strong dressed in black battle robes. A present from Harry, just last night with dragon scales on them. Inside Snape manor they did indeed make a very intimidating group.

"Can you get Fred and George?" asked Harry.

"Sure" said Ron looking curious.

"Get them, I will speak to them at their shop" said Harry.

"It's been shut since the…" he didn't need to finish "No one will look there" Harry grinned and nodded.

"Remus, Sirius you need to get everyone out of there once the battle starts, as soon as possible" said Harry "If they turn up and the place is empty they will know"

"So? He won't get out alive" sneered Snape.

"Good point," said Harry "Fine just get them out of there before night falls"

Remus and Sirius nodded, they would join in the battle after they got everyone to safety. They knew they had better get everyone out otherwise Harry would blame himself they wouldn't let him down again.

"What are we doing?" asked Hermione, Ron was already away to write to his brothers.

"You are going to be standing in the middle of Diagonally, don't worry there will be a protective ring around you." said Harry "I will be there,"

"I guess I will be informing the Order" said Severus.

Harry smirked, Severus was always smart and quick he had never really appreciated it before. With the Quirrel fiasco then the werewolf incident he always caught things quicker than others.

"And everyone else you can find that will help" said Harry "We are going to kill them, we aren't letting them hurt any more people or gather people together again"

"They will all die, the mark will kill them" said Severus.

"You?" asked Harry looking rather scared; Sirius and Remus knew there and then they would have to get along with Severus Snape. Harry was very loyal and hated childish actions even at the age of thirteen when Sirius had met him. They would swallow their pride and get over the childish grudges they had held so long. It would take time but they would do it - for Harry.

"Don't worry me and Lucius will not die, we are vampires it will hurt like hell but we will be ok" said Severus.

"So you won't be able to fight after Voldemort goes down" said Harry alarmed.

"Don't worry, we wont let harm come to them" said Remus "We will portkey them away"

Severus wanted to snarl that he would do what he liked, but one look at Harry's worried face he caved in. He knew he couldn't let Harry be distracted by the fact that he wasn't safe.

"If it hurts!" sneered Severus.

"Thank you" said Harry knowing deep down how hard it must have been for Severus to agree to it. He wasn't a coward and Harry realised this, he was swallowing his pride for him. Not just him but Lucius as well, he knew they were lovers but he wasn't sure if they knew he knew.

"What are Fred and George doing? Fighting?" asked Neville curiously, he just knew they were going to have a different task.

Harry smirked "They will be supplying their most dangerous pranks, that will immobilise the Death Eaters or knock them unconscious, then they are going to summon Nagini".

"Ah," said Ron they understood all too well, he was back he hoped he heard a reply as soon as possible. Harry had told them all about Voldemort splitting his soul into seven different parts.

"Then lets get the party started" grinned Sirius wickedly.

"Lets" said Harry with a smirk of his own.
