AN: I would never kill off Sirius but I couldn't tell you guys that. Keeps up the suspense. Not JK Rowling...

Sirius POV

I caught Hermione before she could fall. Bellatrix was cackling madly and ran out of the room her hair whipping around her face.

"I KILLED THE MUDBLOOD!" She shrieked at the top of her lungs.

"Harry – no!" Remus said trying to hold him back. Tears were streaming down Harry's face and he pulled out of Remus' arms running towards the exit.

"SHE KILLED HERMIONE!" Harry bellowed. "SHE KILLED MY SISTER I'LL KILL HER!" And then he was gone running after her.

Blood was seeping through Hermione's shirt onto my pants. I pushed her wild hair out of the way and pressed my fingers against her neck. A small pulse was beating under my fingers and I pulled her closer to me crying into her hair.

"She's alive!" I yelled. Remus looked up at me obvious relief on his face and ran over to me.

"Any idea what Bellatrix hit her with?" He asked as I carefully stood up my arms wrapped securely around her.

"No idea." I muttered shaking my head. She whimpered softly as I pulled her closer.

"Baby?" She didn't respond. "Why in the world did she push me out of the way Moony?" I asked shaking my head..

"Padfoot you were standing in front of the veil." Remus said softly shivering. "If she hadn't shoved you out of the way you would have fallen through."

"I didn't realize -" But Remus cut me off.

"She saved your life, Pads." I looked down at Hermione my mouth slightly open. Oh Merlin, she did it to save me.

The rest of the Aurors were rounding up the last of the death eaters and Kingsley threw up an Anti-Disapparation Jinx. I frowned and continued forward trying to keep my arms as level as possible.

"Neville?" Remus asked a small frown on his face. Neville was staring at me his mouth slightly open.

"Sirius Black?" He whispered the blood draining from his face. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"All you need to know Neville is that I wouldn't have tried to save you if I wasn't in the Order." He was still staring at me wide eyed.

"Right lets get Hermione to Madame Pomfrey." Remus said leading us out of the death chamber.

The circular room spun the moment Neville shut the door. "The exit!" Remus said firmly and a door opened. We quickly made our way to the lift and I told Neville to push the number eight. The lift started to rise and Hermione whimpered in pain when we came to a stop.

"Don't worry Baby everything will be alright." I said softly into her ear. Neville gave me a strange look then the doors opened.

"Son of a bitch!" Remus muttered his mouth dropping open. Voldemort was running towards Bellatrix who was trapped under a pile of rubble. Neville shivered beside me and Remus quickly stepped in front of him.

Fudge stepped through a fireplace his mouth dropping open in absolute shock. Countless others came out moments later in time to see Voldemort grab Bellatrix and Disapparate.

"He was there!" A man in scarlet robes yelled.

"I know I saw him too, Williamson!" Fudge said swaying slightly on his feet. Remus. Neville and I quickly rushed forward to where Harry was laying against the floor panting.

"SIRIUS BLACK!" Someone shrieked. A woman swayed and fell into a dead faint. Nice.

"Cornelius as you just saw for yourself everything I have been telling you for the past twelve months is true. I will fight you if it comes to it and win again." Fudge's mouth opened and closed like a fish.

"What happened to her?" Williamson asked stepping closer to me. Hermione was dripping blood onto the floor and shivered slightly.

"Bellatrix hit her with a non-verbal hex but she's alive." Harry covered his face with his hands and I had a suspicion he was crying in relief. Dumbledore breathed out heavily and turned to me the pain in his eyes was evident.

"Take her to Madame Pomfrey." He tapped his wand against a brick and muttered, "Portus." It glowed brightly and trembled against the floor for a moment then stilled. "Remus, Harry, Neville go with them." We all touched the Portkey and I held tightly to Hermione as the familiar jerk behind my naval swooped through me.
