Another Beginning
Chapter 11
"Regulus?" asked Severus swallowing thickly, unable to believe that it was him Sirius Black's brother in all his glory.
"It's me" rasped Regulus.
"Let me guess Dumbledore had you put in here?" snarled Severus.
"Yes I found out about his Horcrux" explained Regulus.
"Dumbledore has one?" gasped Severus feeling like nothing could surprise him anymore he had more surprises in the last few weeks than he had ever during the course of his life.
"Yes he used a Black locket I managed to get it and gave it to Kreacher I'm not sure what happened to it after that" sighed Regulus. The younger brother of Sirius Black whom he has no idea anything's happened to he has been in Azkaban since he was a teenager. Dumbledore had made sure that Sirius didn't even get to catch a glimpse of his brother.
"A Black locket? How did he get his hands on one?" asked Severus wide eyed.
"My guess is through Sirius" sighed Regulus "How is my brother? Still the same idiotic brother?"
Draco looked away, this day was getting to be more depressed than most, Draco was a Black this was a relative of his. He may have taunted Harry about Sirius but the man had been a Black wiped off or not. Nothing was more important to a Malfoy (excluding his father) then their own family, the motto used to be family first. The Black family motto was Toujours pur 'Always Pure'. Draco had always found it rather ironic it hadn't been 'pure' for generations some members of the family had married Muggles.
"He fell through the veil in the Department of Mysteries" said Severus he was honest if nothing else.
"What? What was he doing there? Was he thinking he was better than everyone else?" coughed Regulus.
Severus laughed sadly "No for one he was fighting for the life of others and himself"
"Who pushed him though?" asked Regulus. If Dumbledore's name came up again Regulus didn't think he could control himself.
"Bellatrix" winced Severus.
"She killed her own cousin?" snarled Regulus.
"Yeah and a load of other people" replied Severus shivering in the cold.
"She became one of us?" asked Regulus.
"One of you maybe I've been a spy since I was marked" sneered Severus. He might have a mark on his arm but he was nothing like the disgusting loathsome perverted people who proudly called themselves Death Eater.
"Well if it's any consolation I got rid of three of Voldemort's and one of Dumbledore's Horcrux's before I was caught" sighed Regulus.
"I thought you were proud of being a Death Eater?" asked Severus wondering where this conversation was going but very surprised he had been lovers with Regulus at one point when he realized he'd never have Lily. It wasn't long before he realized he had never thought of another woman the way he thought of Lily and came to the conclusion Lily was the only female he could love. That was until Regulus had joined the Death Eaters their relationship had came to a halt very quickly soon after. He was a spy and couldn't risk Regulus ever finding out about him.
"I thought I wanted the same thing as them but I didn't want it the way they did" said Regulus who had done the exact same as Draco Malfoy.
"That reminds me of someone" said Severus sarcastically looking at Draco, who paled in shame and turned away,
"Still want pureblood's to take over now?" he sneered back at Regulus.
"No blood doesn't matter" whispered Regulus.
"Well considering three of the most magically powerful people on the planet are half bloods I'd say so" sneered Severus.
"Three?" frowned Regulus.
Severus sighed "Voldemort was brought down on October 31st 1981 by one year old Harry Potter son of James and Lily Potter"
"How I didn't get all his Horcrux's" said Regulus very much surprised.
"I didn't say it was for good he came back ten years later for the philosopher stone, Harry Potter defeated him once again at the age of eleven. He tried to come back using his Horcrux diary but Harry Potter aged twelve defeated him nearly at the cost of his own life. He did a dark arts ritual to bring himself back when Harry was fourteen years old. Voldemort was bested in a duel if you could call it that by Harry and he managed to escape" said Severus taking delight in the fact Regulus' jaw was hanging on the floor of Azkaban.
"James must have taught him well" said Regulus.
Severus grinned evilly "Harry Potter didn't know the existence of magic until he was eleven he was raised in the Muggle world by his aunt and uncle" now he knew he had completely dumbfounded Regulus Black and he didn't blame him.
Regulus was totally stumped he could hardly believe it - if it had been anyone else telling him he would have scoffed and accused them of exaggerating but he had known Severus since he was eleven and he didn't exaggerate.
"Voldemort then tried to possess Harry when he was fifteen despite being rubbish at Occlumency he still managed to push him out. He was finally defeated by Harry just three weeks he's not coming back, all his Horcrux's are gone" said Severus.
"I got to meet this kid" said Regulus.
"I doubt you will he's probably dead" sighed Severus.
It remained silent for four minutes before a voice spoke outside Severus' cell.
"You should know better than that Severus it takes a lot more than a cutting curse to kill me" smirked a very familiar voice grinning wickedly at him through the door of Azkaban.
"Potter?" whispered Draco a little hope he hadn't had before entering his heart.
"Hey Draco" grinned Harry.
"Are you here to get us out?" asked Draco the desperation clear as day in his voice.
"Well I didn't come to Azkaban to say hello and leave now did I? Do you know how hard it is to find someone in here?" scolded Harry playfully just very glad they were alive.
"Harry…you might want to look in the cells down the hall" said Severus gathering Draco as far away from Harry as possible when the confused teen did as he was told. He knew the backlash of magic was going to be enormous.
"It can't be" whispered Harry in shock.
"Harry?" muttered a confused sounding teenage girl she thought she was dreaming his voice at first.
"Mione?" asked Harry his voice full of such heartache Edward wanted to comfort him. However, he was aware of what was going to happen in five seconds.
It wasn't a magical backlash but a vampire one, the metal holding his best friends was ripped and bent in all funny shapes as he took his anger out on it. He ended up taking half of Draco and Severus' cell as well, snarling in rage he ended up using magic after all and the wall on the outside of Azkaban went crumbling down.
Edward couldn't watch anymore, he trapped the emotional teen in his arms, as he snarled and screamed in rage. Harry knew who was behind it he didn't even have to ask anything, but nothing he did broke through to the teen he needed Jasper.
"Calm down now Mr. Potter before you hurt you're friends!" snapped Severus.
Edward would have acted very defensively if he hadn't known what the man was up; being in Azkaban he had used his occlumency shields to hide his emotions so the Dementors would leave him alone - instead of guarding his mind.
"Who else?" hissed Harry extremely pissed off.
"Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Fred, George and Ginny Weasley and you're godfathers brother" winced Severus. He didn't need to be a genius he knew what the teen was. Pale faced that strong and the rage was enough to convince him but his eyes were still green which was rather unusual for a vampire. Then again Harry wasn't normal for a wizard why should he be a normal vampire?
Harry all but stomped over leaving big massive holes where he his feet had fallen, as if the cement had just been mixed not there for centuries. He threw the doors right from their hinges and entered their cells, Fred and George were in bad shape, making sure they were alright he asked them -
"Can you walk?" asked Harry softly, using heating charms on their frozen bodies.
"Harry I didn't think you'd come" whispered Fred there was no joyful grin on his face.
"Of course I did" whispered Harry right back.
He left their cell and checked on Luna, Ginny and Neville.
Luna and Neville didn't look like they had moved in years they were going to need a Medi Witch or Wizard to make sure they were alright.
"They haven't moved in months they've given up" said Ginny wide eyed.
"Can you walk?" asked Harry.
"Yes" said Ginny she had always been a strong fiery independent girl she hadn't changed in that regard as he watched her walking.
Edward took Neville and Harry took Luna the rest were able to walk unaided even if they were slow. Ron didn't seem to know what was happening, he had yet to respond to anyone other than Hermione. Regulus was being held up by Severus and Draco. He had been there the longest Severus calculated he was just freshly out of Hogwarts when he went missing.
"Are you going to look for others?" asked Hermione hoarsely.
"CARLISLE!" bellowed Edward looking extremely worried. Harry and Edward took off in a dashing run to get to the top of Azkaban leaving a trail of broken pavement for the others to find their way out. Harry was worried because Edward wouldn't react like that for nothing.
Once they were there they saw Dementors crowding around the entire Cullen family. Harry gently laid Luna on the ground and with a snarl of rage he yelled the only spell that would defend them.
"EXPECTO PATRONUMMMMMM!" yelled Harry with all his power. That was his family they were circling and he would be damned if he let the Dementors hurt them.
To Harry's enormous surprise it wasn't just Prongs that leapt out of his wand but a wolf, a grim like dog and a lioness. It seemed the marauders were reunited once again this time without a traitor in their midst. They flew towards the Cullen's if they knew that's who they had to protect, circling them - meanwhile the Cullen's watched the beautiful things in awe. Harry had a feeling the lioness was his mother, meanwhile Edward watched the spell coming saw them forming and saw them going towards his family. He had never seen such a beautiful sight in his one hundred years.
"Could Alice see this conversation?" asked Harry.
"Maybe why?" asked Edward looking at Harry wondering what he had up his sleeve.
"Tell Jasper to break the spell on his emotions and concentrate on every single happy emotion he and everyone around us has and direct the emotions into the Dementors" said Harry clearly.
"What will that do?" asked Edward. He and Harry grinned when they notice Alice space out before talking quickly to Jasper. They saw him look over the water towards Azkaban to Harry, Harry pushed every single good emotion he ever had at the forefront. Flashes of his friends, family and every single good memory came to the forefront and Jasper looked fit to burst with happy emotions. He didn't know if the rest of the Cullen's were doing the same thing.
Suddenly the Dementors began screeching horribly as if they were in physical pain. The vampires had to plug their ears or risk going deaf with the horrific sounds that the Dementors were emitting.
It was all too much for the Dementors who seemed to explode with the emotions they were unused to feeling and sucking from people. They did just that exploded into a million pieces and the pieces disintegrated into a thousands the other few lucky Dementors who hadn't been exploded fled the scene.
"They were indestructible" gasped Hermione already feeling herself warming up.
"Emotions were always their weakest point" said Harry remembering what he read about the Dementors.
"Harry you're a vampire how?" whispered Hermione hoarsely.
"We need to get out of here now there's time for explanation later" said Severus he knew if the ministry caught them now they would be executed.
"Grab on to me or Edward we are in for a bumpy ride" said Harry urgently.
They had no way of getting ashore as the boat was at the other side of the land and it takes ages anyways and they didn't have time as it was. Edward and Harry weren't going to have to jump again, with people on them it might prove harder but they weren't strong for nothing.
Hermione, Luna (Already in his arms), Ginny and Severus held onto Harry the others were lifted by Edward running back slightly before they ran forward and jumped high into the air Hermione squealing weirdly as they did so. It was a shame he didn't have his broom it would have been a much smoother ride, try as they may they weren't able to land as softly as they liked.
"Is everyone ok?" asked Harry in concern.
Those that could nodded that they were, unfortunately Hermione couldn't stand any longer she passed out. Rosalie grabbed her before she could fall, Harry sent her a grateful smile, he noticed they didn't smell like food was it just him. Looking at Jasper he noticed he had a curious look on his face, relief tore through him at least his friends were safe
"Where are you going from here?" asked Carlisle taking slight charge. This was Harry's world and knew he had to ask the teen what he wanted to do. Which was a rather strange thing to do, he was used to leading the Coven he was the leader after all. Jasper and Edward came close to leading sometimes, it seemed he had another leader in the family.
"We need somewhere safe somewhere equipped to get everyone better before I go to the Ministry and turn their stupid little world upside down" snarled Harry angrily.
"Go to Potter Manor" suggested Draco.
"What's Potter Manor?" asked Harry cluelessly.
"You're grandparent's house" said Draco, his voice didn't show the pity he felt for Harry, he had known his grandparents they had been great, and he knew his parents even if one of them he hated. Sighing softly he realised just how damn lucky he was - and to think he had been jealous of Harry? At one point. Well he wasn't anymore, it seemed the teenager was in the dark much more than anyone realized.
"Dobby?" shouted Harry he didn't know the location he doubted Draco Malfoy or Severus Snape did so he had to get it from Gringotts.
"Yes Harry Potter sir?" asked Dobby grinning with glee hugging his best friend tightly squeaking when he caught sight of Severus and Draco.
It was Draco's turn to be gob smacked that was his old house elf…and Harry was letting it hug him? He was a house elf for god sake. However he knew better than to voice that out loud, he noticed one of the vampires glaring at him.
"This is Carlisle a new friend of mine he would like to know more about you later but right now can you go to Gringotts and get me the location of Potter Manor?" asked Harry. Carlisle bent lower and shook the house elf's hand a look of wonder in his eyes he was going to like this new world a lot.
"You is a vampire! Tis nice to meet you sir" said Dobby his eyes wider than usual he shouldn't be surprised with the friends Harry Potter makes. He was his friend and had his Moony and Hagrid and his brother too, from the tone of voice he seemed to like Firenze as well.
"You as well" smiled Carlisle.
"I can take you straight to Potter Manor us house elves can get though anything even the charm known to you as the secret keeper" said Dobby.
"How many of us can you take?" asked Harry his ears perking up.
"Fives at a time sir" said Dobby.
"Then do it quick there's Auror's coming they must know Azkaban has been breached how I don't know Voldemort raided Azkaban and no one knew for a whole day" sighed Harry nothing went his way ever.
Dobby nodded and quickly took Hermione, Luna, Severus, Draco and Ron in one pop.
Will the others get out of there before its too late? if someone has to get left behind who will it be? regulus? Carlisle? Emmett? Harry? R&R tell me what you think?
