Any one who walked in to the Department of Mysteries would see death eaters tied up with wands pointed at them by members of the Order of Phoenix. Then you would see a distraught redhead boy consoling a crying bushy haired girl. Lastly you would notice Sirius Black - escaped convict - standing , staring at the Veil of Death with his werewolf friend , Remus Lupin, standing beside him , talking.

Sirius stared at the Veil not really seeing it. Three words went through his head. Harry is dead. Harry is dead. Harry... dead. Gone forever. He'd never hear him laugh again , see his eyes go small when he smiled a wide , happy smile. This was worse than James and Lily's death because he had watched Harry die and he couldn't deny it like he done with theirs. He hadn't watched them die , when he saw their bodies laying in what used to be their cottage he had believed it to be a sick joke. He couldn't do that now, not when Harry had died infront of him.

Out of the corners of his eye he saw Ron hugging Hermione and he knew he should go there to comfort them but he couldn't bring himself to face them. Not when it was his fault Harry was dead just as it was his fault James and Lily died. Remus was next to him talking but he couldn't make out any of the words that were said. His thoughts wandered back to what had happened...

An hour ago

Sirius and Remus were clearing things in the attic trying to find something that would put their minds of the brewing war. It was then that Kingsley came barreling in telling them to come down now. They had gone down to find Tonks , Moody , Snape and Kingsley waiting for them.

"What's happened?" Remus questioned .

" It's Potter. He and his friends have been tricked into going into the Department of Mysteries. You need to go now while I go check the forbidden forest just incase. "Informed Snape.

" I thought you were teaching him occulumency! I told Dumbledore you'd be of no use! Bet you were harassing him more than teaching him! " snarled Sirius.

" Now isn't the time Black! " Moody snapped.

They moved quickly , arriving at the Ministry of Magic in 10 minutes. It was completely empty at a time like this, no wonder they got in easily. Finding the Department of Mysteries was easy. Running in they saw Luna trying to get some brains off Ron. She pointed to a door before turning her back to them. Bursting through they saw Harry standing a few feet infront of the Veil , his arm outstretched about to hand over the prophecy to Malfoy. Running down the steps , shooting spells at the Death Eaters , Sirius shouted , " Don't give it to them! "

He grabbed Harry's hand and hauled him behind a rock.

" Harry, get your friends and leave. Don't give the prophecy to them. "

" What? Leave? No, I'm staying with you and fighting. " Harry said defiance in his eyes.

Before he could retaliate , two death eaters came shooting spells. He and Harry started battling side by side. He was as good as James . He could remember James fighting with the same style in Auror training. He could easily predict his next move. Turning he saw Rookwood shoot a purple spell at him and it was to fast for him to try and defend himself.

"Protego!" Harry shouted casting a shield around him.

" Good one James! " He was to into the fight to realize what he said straightaway.

The battle had mostly stopped so Sirius turned around to congratulate his godson. He was so proud. To be able to fight off Death Eaters at fifteen! Before he could speak he was pushed to the floor by Harry. Sirius was about to ask what the hell he was doing when Harry was hit by a yellow light and he fell , his eyes widening , through the Veil of Death.

" Sirius. Sirius! Snap out of it! " Remus was standing infront of him , his face full of pain and concern.

" He's gone. Harry's gone. " stated Sirius in disbelief. Remus looked down his eyes glistening with tears.

Slowly he made his way to the veil. It rustled innocently as though it had not just stole the person who he had loved as a son. His dad had told him about it, a gateway between life and death. If you went through there was no coming back. The veil was beckoning him. He should just walk through. All his loved ones were on that side - Harry, James , Lily , Regulus and countless other people lost to war. Well, all except Remus but he would come eventually. He had started walking towards it when strong arms wrapped around him and dragged him back. He struggled against them, he had to get back!

Remus winced. It had been Full Moon yesterday and his body was aching but he held onto Sirius as hard as he could. He couldn't lose him to. He'd lost most of his pack already. James and Lily to Voldemort , Harry to Bellatrix and Peter betrayed them all. He and Sirius were the last ones left. He couldn't cope with another death.

" Sirius stop! You're not the only one hurting! You're not helping! " shouted Remus.

Sirius went limp against him.

" It's all my fault. I should be the one who's dead. " sobbed Sirius, finally breaking down.

" No it's not. Harry chose to save you. It was his decision and you respect that and live to your fullest. He wanted you to live. Do what he wished for. " said Remus softly.

" Come on , we gotta leave. "

" Who killed him? "

" Bellatrix "

" I'll kill her for what she did" Sirius snarled.

Stopping at the door , he whispered , Goodbye Harry. I'll make her pay for you. " He turned and left.
