Chapter 49

Lucius turned behind to see what the Potter boy had been gaping at.

"Get away from my Godson!" snarled Sirius as his fist came in contact with Lucius's face dismantling a few teeth along with his jaw as his mouth bled furiously, the prophecy fell out of his hands and onto the floor as it broke to nothing.

Sirius took Harry under his arm and pulled him behind a raised portion of the ground as he shot his spells from behind it fighting off two death eaters at the same time Lucius and Macnair. The rest of the order began to appear as Tonks helped Luna get out of Greyback's grip while Remus threw Bellatrix of track while Neville helped Remus out. Similarly Ginny and Hermione were helped out by Kingsley and Mad eye.

Rudolphus pulled Audrey to the side with him, pulling her to a corner by pulling her hair as he crashed into someone from behind, he turned to look back.

"Just what exactly are you trying to do to my daughter Rudolphus?" asked Rachel her hands across her chest. Rudolphus gulped a little.

"Thought as much," said Rachel shaking her head pitifully as Rudolphus threw Audrey at Rachel and pulled out his wand and pointed it at Rachel who held her daughter tightly as she pulled her wand out.

"You don't scare me Adams!" snarled Rudolphus.

"Good for you!" said Rachel as all Audrey noticed was her mother pushing her behind her back as the next thing she knew, spells were flying all over the place as Audrey saw her wand on the ground near Rudolphus's feet, she dived for it as she rolled and got it into her hands.

"Ooo...mummy and baby fighting it out!" cackled Bellatrix as she joined Rudolphus in the fight, throwing continuous crucios at Rachel as she blocked each with equal agility and grace. Audrey had never seen this side of the mother as the ground under the two death eaters shook violently, the ground sprouted two earthen hands and caught hold of them and tried to crush their bones.

"Don't every touch my daughter again!" snarled Rachel twisting her wand so skilfully that the hands began to do what she was doing to her wand.

"Bloody hell!" whispered Audrey her mouth dropped as she looked at the magic her mother was bringing out, once the death eaters got out the grasp of the hands they were fighting with defence techniques as Audrey joined in. She couldn't believe it her mother was so good at this—it must be the Dumbledore in her—Audrey couldn't believe it—the woman who had a problem with her daughter practicing defence spells was way better than anyone Audrey had witnessed before—the woman who would ground her daughter when she read about defence spells was so tactful her spells never missed even once and nor were they mediocre spells each one was unseen by Audrey and skilfully mastered that one swish of the non-verbal was all it took for them to blast Rudolphus away as Bellatrix flew off into a wisp of smoke towards Harry and Sirius.

"Where did you learn this?" asked Audrey as she threw another stunner at Rabastan, Rudolphus's brother who had now taken his brother's place.

"My dad taught me—spinner training—only time fruitfully spent with that man!" said her mother as she did some really cool twisty moves with her hand as Rabastan missed it by a stand.

Audrey looked away from her mother as her attention was diverted by the rest of the order fighting like professionals. Audrey saw Remus fighting with two unmasked death eaters as Neville helped him seeing Remus had fixed his tongue. Luna fought with Mad Eye who was giving her directions while Kingsley and Hermione were back to back—Ron was with his brother Bill as Bill was pretty good at charms and was thrashing a death eater around and Tonks and Ginny had partnered up. Sirius and Harry were fighting Lucius and Bellatrix as Harry shot an Expelliarmus at Lucius, Sirius couldn't have been prouder as he managed to finish Lucius off with rather mediocre spells.

Sirius was smirking as Bellatrix came to fight with him, they had more fun fighting because they were related, calling each other names, mocking and teasing seemed like Sirius was enjoying this as his latest conversation with Bellatrix was going something like this,

"How was prison cousin—did they not have a pissy mirror there for you?"

"Not that you'd need one seeing you and your sister are as ugly as dung—well atleast sissy is not deranged,"

"Atleast we got married"

"No wonder you ended up mental and in prison,"

"No wonder you got your ass in jail because you had worthless mudblood friends,"

"Yea well guess what cousin—my godson's going to get our old home and you can't do any fucking thing about it!" laughed Sirius as Bellatrix grew severely still as Sirius continued laughing, their duel taking him dangerously close to the veil as Harry tried to pull him away.

It was in the spur of the moment that it all happened, that Bellatrix shot the Avada at Sirius and that very second he dodged it pushing Harry away from the spell, but he lost his balance and fell through the veil into nothingness. Any second now, any second Sirius would appear from the other side—he was a practical joker he was only pretending to have disappeared—he hadn't really gone anywhere—he was just—where was he—WHERE WAS SIRIUS? He couldn't be dead—he just couldn't—No, not Sirius—he was Sirius—and Sirius couldn't just die! HE COULDN'T.

Audrey looked at her mother she was busy defending them against Rabastan as another death eater joined them. Audrey let her be—she knew she'd be alright—she dashed over to the empty arch way as Harry lay on his stomach his one hand inside the archway holding on to something, Audrey came to a stop next to him and grab what Harry was as they pulled simultaneously.

"Damnit! Sirius—didn't I tell you not to eat all that meat!" snarled Audrey trying her best to help him. They pulled like crazy but it was if something was pulling him back.

"Remus!" shouted Audrey out for help as Harry almost let go seeing how slippery his hand had become because of sweat.

Remus turned to look in her direction as he squinted his eyes to see what was going on; he swung his wand around, over and around his head as the death eater was blasted off his hinges and into Rabastan who crashed into the other one besides him, setting Rachel free as they both dashed to help Harry and Audrey save Sirius. They grabbed hold of the same hand.

"Sirius—throw up your other hand—for f***sake!" snarled Rachel begging and hoping to Merlin he was still alive.

"SIRIUS!" shouted Rachel again threateningly as they tried to pull him up, she sighed relieved when she heard a muffled response from the other side as he shook violently and then threw up his other hand. Rachel dived head first for it and caught hold of it and almost fell into the veil herself if it weren't for Remus who caught her by the waist. They pulled Sirius out in a few minutes his head came up first after that the rest of his torso and his hands as he used them to push himself up although his friends and godson and Audrey were still pulling him out. When he was out completely only then did they unhand him, all them sat around him breathing heavily as if relived that he was alive and breathing along with them even if he looked psychologically shaken. Harry looked at Audrey who smiled at him lightly, as Harry then turned his eyes to look at Sirius, who was sharing a look of gratefulness with his two other friends. He turned to look at Harry and Audrey who smiled at him while Harry pushed himself into Sirius hugging him like he had never before as Sirius pushed his arms around the boy.

"The dark lord is here—he's here!" cackled Bellatrix brandishing her mark all over the place as she traced it lovingly, as she threw crucio after crucio at the group. Rachel lunged forward as she blocked each and every curse she threw at them. Audrey stood up next to her wand out and pointed out at Bellatrix.

"Ooo...little Snapey-poo is going to help Mummy?" said Bellatrix in a slickly sweet way.

"My name's Audrey!" snapped Audrey cracking her neck once as she threw a stinging jinx at Bellatrix followed by hexes both hitting the deranged woman in the face and then near the heart. Bellatrix fell off her feet and on her bottom as she began laughing again. Audrey could feel her blood turning cold as a shiver ran down her spine. Voldemort was there—right there outside the room standing in the ministry lobby near the gigantic fountain.

"Harry—No!" shouted Remus as he jumped over Sirius who tried to grab the running boy who ran into the lobby.

"Harry!" called Audrey as she ran behind him.

"Audrey no—stop!" called Rachel as she almost caught hold of her daughter's hand but her hand slipped through hers. Rachel called after her again as Audrey stopped suddenly mid-way, clutching the right side of her stomach.

"Audrey!" shouted Rachel as she could see a red patch appear on Audrey's jacket as blood soaked it. Rachel ran to her daughter as she helped her stand steady, she looked that at the wound as blood poured out of the side of her stomach. It was as if a bullet had gone through her back and gotten out of the front, her breathing was laboured.

"Oh! Sweetheart—it ok—lean into mummy!" said Rachel as Audrey followed as Rachel placed a arm around her daughter, Hermione and Ginny came running to check on her.

"Harry—forget—about—me—Harry needs—maximum help!" said Audrey as she sat down on the ground holding her bleeding wound as Remus crouched next to her.

"Harry—will be fine—Dumbledore—is here," offered Hermione helping Audrey lift her t-shirt under her open jacket as Remus traced her wound.

"Can't be fixed Rachel—we need to take her back to the school—Poppy and some potions can help," replied Remus as someone cackled in the back.

"So sad—lovely—daddy didn't teach you tricks of the trade!" gave Bellatrix as Rachel got up in anger but before she could do much Bellatrix disappeared into the wisps of smoke.

"Want to see what my mum taught me?" growled Audrey trying to get up her wand in her hand as she groaned and sat back down as her mother looked at her strictly.

"The solution to everything is not brandishing your wand," snapped Rachel.

"Learn to ignore things!" said Rachel angrily, although her wand was in her hand ready if the death eaters tried to attack, but they didn't, they just bundled up and disappeared everyone apart from Lucius who lay unconscious near the veil.

"Come," said Rachel helping her daughter up as they made their way towards the ongoing fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore.

The previously beautiful Atrium sat destroyed in shambles as the fountain that had been the glory of the lobby was now completely destroyed apart from the tiny gold elf standing submissively and the goblin who was supposed to be counting his coins although his nose and balding head had been broken into half.

Voldemort stood on one side as his wand was raised as well while Dumbledore seemed ready to repel anything he would send their way, Harry stood behind him. Voldemort turned to look at the audience that they were receiving, he smiled at them and then disappeared in a swirl of dust as Harry fell to his feet, twitching like mental. Dumbledore kneeled over Harry as the boy twitched jerking from side to side every few seconds as he held his scar pressing his palm into it as his sweat mixed with tears of pain.

"Harry—it is not how you are alike—it is how you are not!" said Dumbledore leaning over the boy as Rachel tried helped her daughter up. Audrey's breath was laboured; she wasn't going to stay conscious for long.

"You're the weak one—because you'll never know love—or friendship—and I feel sorry for you," said Harry with whatever strength he had in his body as Voldemort pulled out of his body and towered over him.

"You're a fool Harry Potter—and you will lose everything," scoffed Voldemort as a sudden opening of grates was heard as Aurors flooed into the place with the minister of magic. They walked forward hurriedly as they came across a sight, Voldemort looking dumbstruck as a angry looked crossed his face as he disappeared with a swish of his robes as Sirius dashed to his godson as he helped Harry steady up on his feet.

"He's back—he's really back!" exclaimed Fudge shocked as hell as the reporters who had flooed over were continuous snapping pictures of Harry as he and Sirius made their way out of the atrium.

Remus ran as fast as he could, his god daughter was in his arms unconscious and losing large amount of blood, her limp body was growing colder by the second as he rushed into the hospital wing placing her onto the empty bed opposite Minerva's who was asleep. Rachel took Audrey's blood soaked jacket off as her thin white t-shirt was seen with her a dark regal red blotch.

Rachel sat down next to Audrey's head as she stroked her hair lightly, looking around as the other children were being tended to. Hermione, Luna and Ginny were fixed up quickly and told to go back to their dormitories by poppy to get some sleep. Ron and Neville were told to do the same but Harry refused to listen to the nurse unless she tended to Audrey first—in the end—Sirius forced down the vial of dreamless sleep potion down his godson's throat forcefully sedating him for rest of the night. Sirius got himself a cast on his sprained hand as he was now sleeping in his bed with professor Sinistra cuddling up against him stroking his chest lightly her eyes closed as one of Sirius's arms was carefully around her pulling her tightly against him.

Rachel waited for Remus to come back from where he had gone, the sound of quick footsteps jolted her to look up and towards the open doors of the infirmary. Remus had returned and he brought Severus with him, Severus carried a black satchel with him out of which he pulled out a few well chosen potions and then handed the bag full of vials to Poppy who accepted it gratefully and hurried went into her office.

"Remus!" called Tonks she brought in a injured Bill Weasley and Remus went to tend to Bill.

Severus looked at his daughter who was breathing heavily.

"I'll be needing assistance," said Severus bowing his head ever so slightly in Rachel's direction as she nodded understandingly.

"Push up her t-shirt," he said pulling out his wand as Rachel did what she was said as she exposed the bloody wound on her daughters abdomen, it had gotten worse than what it had been there, no wonder she had lost consciousness. Severus waved his wand over Audrey's injury cleaning the wound of the blood along with her clothes. The wound was now clear of the blood as the pale flesh could be seen clearly through and through as if it was a rather large body piercing although gone terribly wrong. He traced his fingers across the wound as Rachel looked on worriedly.

"Bellatrix?" he asked as he flinched when Audrey unconsciously groaned in pain.

"Yea—who else—I swear—that woman has some issues!" snarled Rachel blinking back tears as Audrey groaned again as she was stirring into consciousness.

"One of her specialties," he said rubbing his left shoulder where he still had the scars from the deranged witches attacks from thirteen years ago when he had to "prove" himself to them—that he had redeemed his "mudblood loving ways".

"You can fix it right?" asked Rachel cautiously.

"Oh, I can fix it—but it'll leave scars for good," he told Rachel as they both looked at Audrey who was stirring awake.

"She's awake," smiled Rachel as Audrey groaned in pain.

"I wouldn't be so happy—it's going to be worse," said Severus as he slipped on gloves as he picked up the bottle of dittany.

"Hold her down," he said simply as he leaned over the bed to get a better position.

"Why would I hold her down?" asked Rachel as Severus glared at her making her roll her eyes and pushed Audrey down by her shoulders.

"What're 'll doing?" said a raspy voice into Rachel's ears as Rachel smiled at her daughter, push her down? for what joy?—it was just a bit of dittany!

Severus poured the bottle of dittany into Audrey's wound and saved some to cover the above, he was of the thought that Rachel was holding Audrey down, but he was stupid to think she'd listen to him. The second the dittany hit the flesh inside—it began to react with the flesh making it bubble up as slowly make her body create new cells and tissues to form newer flesh and stitch the wound back together extremely slowly—seeing that the wound was deep dittany would work slower, the slower it worked the more pain it caused. Audrey's body jerked up in pain as howled her lungs out thrashing around like a wounded dog.

"Rachel!" barked Severus as Rachel tried to get a hold on her daughter but she couldn't push her down alone. All the shouting woke Aurora up who came into help them.

"Lupin!" barked Severus as Remus came running in and pushed a hand down on Audrey's abdomen trying to make sure Audrey didn't hurt herself more, Aurora pushed her thrashing legs down while Rachel made sure her hands remained on her sides. Severus went for her head as pushed his weight over her shoulders pressing her to the bed as she shook her head crying in pain shouting for someone to help her. He bit his lips as she cried in pain, but this was the only way to help her out. He sat down on the bed cupping her face as he pushed her into the bed while he whispered softly into her ears.

"It's alright—it'll be over in a few minutes—Audrey—stop thrashing around—you're brave enough—you went to help your friends—you were so brave—this is nothing—calm down," he said as softly as he could.

"But—pappa—it hurts-!" she cried sniffing and sobbing loudly.

"I know—but give it two minutes—it will be over in two minutes I promise—you won't have an opening in your stomach I promise," he said placing a lopsided kiss on the side of her head.

"But—pappa," she began crying in pain.

"Hush, hold onto my hand—hold it tightly," he instructed as she looked into his eyes as he gave her a smile as she cried a load groan as Rachel let one hand free as Audrey gripped her father's forearm in pain sinking her fingers into the material of his robes pressing hard as she cried in pain.

"It's over Drey—just a little more," said Remus as he checked up on the wound which was almost filled as the dittany worked on her mesoderm and then the ectoderm leaving a deep scar on her abdomen as the area still throbbed but it wasn't unbearable and Audrey stopped thrashing as Aurora spoke to Remus and went back to get some sleep. Severus let go of her as did Rachel. Tonks called Remus again stating Dumbledore wanted to see him immediately.

"Doesn't hurt anymore," Audrey said a stupid smile on her face sweat all over.

"It doesn't," he replied kissing her lightly on the head as he pulled out a white handkerchief from his robes and wiped her sweat with it, she yawned lightly.

"Drink this and get some sleep," he instructed as she swallowed the dreamless sleep potion and fell asleep in a matter of seconds. He then turned to look at Rachel who was bandaging the scar.

"Leave it open—it needs to breath to heal," he said sitting down in the chair next to hers. She sighed pushing herself into the chair.

"It frieghtens me that she was so brave—stupid Potter rubbing of on her,"

"No—she was always this way—fighting for everyone else—coming home with dirty clothes and black eyes,"

"Doesnt it scare you?"

"Sometimes—I suppose I am used to it by now,"

"How do you get use to it when you haven't been there for her since forever—I am a pathetic father-I don't know why she still wants to believe I am the best,"

"You still doubt yourself?" she asked him a little surprised, according to what Audrey wrote, Severus seemed to be way more than what Rachel had excepted any father to be, she always considered it as situational seeing that Severus had just found out about her—but she could tell why Audrey loved him so much—he cared so much that he thought he was useless—he wanted to do so much more—for the first time in her life Rachel felt sorry for him—she felt like it was her fault that Severus and their daughter did not share what one would call an ideal relationship—although it was the beginning of something—Rachel could tell just how much he loved—Rachel could tell just how much he had missed out on—Rachel could tell his defeat and Rachel could she herself as the cause.

"All the time," he replied a while later as Severus checked on his daughter's vitals, Rachel was already asleep as her head lolled on to his shoulder.

Audrey opened her eyes to see known surroundings around her; Audrey didn't understand why every time she closed her eyes she'd end up in the hospital wing. She looked at the bed besides hers as Harry slept on it peacefully; empty vials of dreamless sleep potion lay on the side table of his bed. Audrey could see finger marks on his face, this obviously meant he had been forcefully sedated; his head was turned towards her as he had a worried expression on his face. Sirius had his hand in a sling as he slept on the bed next to Harry's as Professor Aurora Sinistra slept snuggled into him. Remus was standing outside in the dark, Tonks stood next to him as she stood in her toes and kissed him, pulling him away with her to merlin knew where.

Audrey tried to move towards the right as she cringed in pain but when she looked away she noticed her parents sitting on wooden chairs next to each other rather uncomfortably, but there was something off.

Audrey blinked continuously trying to figure out whether she was high on the potions or whether her mind was deceiving her. Her mother had her head on her father's shoulder, her lips touching it as her breath flew across his satin teacher's robe making the ripples move back and forth lightly. Audrey wondered if it was an unconscious move or had her mother been worried and found no one but her father to find comfort in, Audrey didn't know which one it was, but had no heart to wake her or him. He seemed so much more relaxed his hands folded on his chest, her hand looped through his arm her head resting on his shoulder as her father had a clear expression in his face, he looked relaxed and carefree while her mother seemed like her muscles had finally decided to get some rest, Audrey knew how stiff her mother was when she slept no wonder she had those dark circles under her eyes which she had worked her ass of getting rid of, but look at her now—not one frown on either of their faces and they didn't even stir—possibly worried they might wake the other.

AN/- I cannot kill Sirius-never have-never can , never will-because I love him! and I don't have to prove any points like JKR, because she's already made them-so SIRIUS LIVES!

Just Review Okay!
