Chapter five:

Months crept on by slowly for Sierra and she seemed to notice that Neville had been missing more and more now that the Carrows saw fit in torturing anyone who earned a detention and those who were first years many of the D.A tried to protect and the ones that they couldn't Sierra managed to protect them. Finally Sierra noticed that many of the D.A disappeared and were out of classes and the Carrows had put her in charge of finding them.

Sierra had a hint to where they were meeting but she was definitely not giving that hint to the Carrow's. One evening she decided to walk around the seventh floor just to see what she would find. As she was walking down toward's the stairs she felt a hand around her mouth and she was being dragged backwards. When she turned to face the attacker she found a much bruised Neville and she asked, "Neville?"

He nodded and Sierra gave him a hug and he hugged her back. They released and said, "I'm so glad you are okay it feels like I haven't seen you in months and what are you doing here?" Sierra asked him and Neville laughed and said, "Well meeting here obviously." Then they went into the room and Sierra scanned the room and her eyes stopped at the three in the middle of the room. Three people that she has not seen in months. She slowly walked up to them and Harry embraced her in his arms and the two also hugged and then Ron and Hermione also joined in and when they broke apart Harry and Sierra kissed like they haven't seen each other in years and someone shouted, "will you please get a room." The room laughed and Harry and Sierra broke apart and Sierra felt Harry tighten his grip in her hand and she asked him. "What's going on?"

"You-know-who is on his way here." Harry answered her and she backed away and said, "Wait what?"

"He's looking for something that he owns. The one's that we've been after and destroying he's now he's checking and making sure each of them are safe, including the one at Hogwarts which is the lost Diadem of Ravenclaw."

"You're serious Harry that he's coming here?" Sierra asked in panic and Ron answered, "Yes he is why are you shocked?"

"Every time he comes here he is in need of my presence, I must go if I am to keep you all alive." Sierra said starting to leave and Harry said, "You don't need to, he's not looking-"

"Sierra Black please report to the Headmaster's office. Professor Snape would like a word." Sierra gave Harry a sad look and said, "I'll see you later." She darted off and Harry looked at Neville who said, "She's had to do this all year, I'm sure she'll be fine."

All Harry could do was nod and he snapped back out of it and began to explain what he needed to do.

Sierra walked slowly up the familiar stair cases and into the Headmaster's office. She was then offered a chair and she took it in front of Snape's desk and Snape began pacing back and forth and Sierra watched him before she asked, "What did you want to see me for Professor?"

"You are supposed wait here for the Dark Lord. He is not happy with you at the moment." Snape said now sitting down in his chair. "When is he not happy with me?" Sierra asked sarcastically and Severus looked at her and smirked and they shared a laugh. Then they heard commotion from downstairs and Severus muttered, "Stay here." Sierra nodded and watched the headmaster leave.

He returned quickly and said, "We are wanted by the Dark Lord. The school has chased me out. Take my arm and we shall be with the Dark Lord now." Sierra nodded and took his arm and he apparated them out and when Sierra landed with a thud on the floor she was roughly forced being to stand and she heard a cold voice say, "Well done Greyback now hold her still." Chills ran through her as he spoke and she did not even look back at Greyback who had her arms around her back.

Severus was shown out and Malfoy was brought in and tortured as well as her brother and father. The worst was when Severus was summoned and Severus immediately said, "Sir let me go to the boy."

"You see Severus you unlike many other followers realize the boy will come once he hears the voice of his girlfriend scream. The number one reason he will come and sacrifice himself to stop the dying from around him and those that he loves fall." When he said this she looked at her godfather and he grinned evilly at her and said, "Before I let Sierra's voice be heard by everyone. Severus do you know why this wand has not worked for me?"

"No my lord." Severus said and the questions kept coming before Sierra realized that Voldemort thought that Severus was the owner of the elder wand and she too feared his life. Then from nowhere she saw Nagini strike and she shouted, "NO!" Then her mouth was covered by Greyback and all she could do was watch in horror as her headmaster was being attacked to death by Nagini. Then before she could rush to him they all disappeared.

When they landed Sierra noticed that they were now located deep in the Forbidden forest. She was still being held by Greyback and she tried to break free but he just held on tighter. She could tell he was growing impatient with her and finally the Dark Lord said, "If you're bored Greyback use your imagination."

"I'm not bored my lord just frustrated that this one cannot stay still." Greyback readjusted as Sierra kept struggling out of his grasp and she stopped when she heard him say Crucio! She screamed and she could hear her scream all around and then she stopped as soon as he released his wand from her.

****
The battle stopped as they heard the scream and Harry felt liked his heart had stopped. He looked up towards where he heard her scream and then the booming voice of Voldemort sounded and said, "Harry Potter, you have one hour to sacrifice yourself in order to save your girlfriend and so that no more blood may be shed. Just to assure you that you have not forgotten you'll hear your girlfriend scream with the highest pain that she has ever felt before. You have one hour." Voldemort finished and Harry lowered his wand and looked at Ron and Hermione and said, "She knows you can't give yourself up keep looking for the Diadem." Hermione said approvingly and Harry nodded and watched as McGonagall led the younger students out of Hogwarts.

Sierra was growing weaker as three death eaters were ready to strike her now with the Crucio curse and if she didn't scream he would keep on adding them until she did. Now the Dark Lord was sitting and staring at her and he pointed to Avery to start and they shot the spell at her and she screamed so loud that the Dark Lord laughed and came to her and said, "Your boyfriend hasn't came yet. Is this really what they call love?" He now had his hand coup under her chin and she pulled away and said bravely but weak, "You don't know what love is, I wouldn't go guessing."

Voldemort moved his angry eyes towards her and quietly sat down and Sierra was back being held by Greyback. Avery looked at his watched and muttered, "Potter is not coming it's been well over an hour with fifteen minutes left."

"Oh no Avery he will be coming once he hears the last scream of his beloved Sierra." Voldemort said grinning evilly. Then a snap was heard in the distance and Sierra's head popped up in that direction.
