AN: Once again I am not JK Rowling.
Hannah, Ginny, Luna and I sleepily made our way to the great hall. After the chaos of writing on the walls we went back to the Room of Requirement as fast as we could. We stayed up late trading bits of gossip. Hannah told us what it was like outside the walls of Hogwarts while we told her what had happened since she left. It had been very late once we finally went to bed.
Ron suddenly darted around a corner looking frantic. He came to a stop when he saw us letting a breath out. Harry and Neville came around the corner a moment later breathing heavily.
"There you are we've been looking everywhere for you." Harry said gasping between breaths. He pushed his glasses up his nose and a large smile spread across his face.
"What did something happen?" Luna asked dreamily.
"Someone from the D.A. wrote on the walls like the Serpents!" Ron said brightly his eyes sparkling.
"What your kidding." I said my eyes wide.
"Do they know who did it?" Hannah asked her cheeks flushed.
"No," Neville said shaking his head. "But its brought back some hope to the other students. You can see it in their eyes. Whoever did it was bloody brilliant."
"Yeah they were." Ginny said nodding her eyes sparkling. I snorted but was able to pass it off as a sneeze.
The boys looked at me worriedly but I quickly said the one thing I knew would deter them. "Come on lets go to breakfast."
The rest of February passed without much incident. I exchanged letters with Sirius but not as frequently as I wished. He told me he had found out a lot about Horcruxes but wouldn't tell me much for fear of the letter being possibly intercepted. Every once in awhile I would feel his emotions through our link but it didn't happen often.
We had a couple of D.A. meetings but none were as exciting as the one Sirius had led. Severus always stood close to me to keep an eye on me. He kept his word to keep me safe.
I was reading a book in the library about the first war on the first of March. I was working on trying to learn everything I could from the first war so we wouldn't repeat the same mistakes. It was the newest version that came out a few months ago. I loved reading the fact that my husband was an innocent man. A fantastic picture was in here of James and Lily's wedding with Sirius in the background a brilliant smile on his face. I looked closer at the picture trying to find the similarities to what he looked like now. He had the same gray eyes but he had lost some of the childishness since this picture and had more laugh lines.
Sirius Black was believed to have turned James and Lily Potter over to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for reasons unknown. However it was actually Peter Petigrew who became secret keeper. This was done so the most unsuspecting person could do the Fidelius Charm. Sirius went to check on Peter on October 31 1981 to make sure he was all right. Peter was not there and there had been no evidence of forced entry. Sirius went to check on the Potters and found the place in ruins. Rubeus Hagrid was under strict orders from Albus Dumbledore to bring young Harry to his only living relatives.
"Sirius was devastated when he found out what happened." Rubeus said when questioned about that night. "I tried to comfort him but he was too far gone to console. He lent me his motorbike so I could bring Harry safely to Dumbledore."
Shortly after Sirius went to confront Peter but Peter had yelled that Sirius had betrayed the Potters. Peter cut off his finger and blew up half the street and changed into his Animagus form which is a rat. Sirius was sent to Azkaban without a trial and believed to be mad.
When Sirius was asked if he had any comments he had nothing to say. Sirius recently was married to Hermione Granger who he had dated since the battle in the Department of Mysteries. It is believed that Hermione sacrificed herself in order to save him from a spell his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange had tried to hit him with.
"Mrs Black!" I gasped jumping in my seat dropping the book. Severus was striding over to me paler than usual and circles under his eyes. He was starting to look worse every day. I had taken to looking at Draco too. He looked worse almost sickly every time I saw him.
"What is it?" I asked immediately.
"Mr Weasley has been poisoned and is in the hospital wing." He said quickly running a hand through his hair. I jumped up my stomach clenching in fear.
"What happened?" I asked shoving my books into my bag.
"No one is for certain but Harry saved him by shoving a bezoar down his throat." Of course. The Prince had been right about saving you from poisons.
"What Prince?" Severus asked his eyes wide. I hadn't realized I said it out loud.
"Some stupid potions book Harry has." I said rolling my eyes.
"Does it say the Half-blood Prince in there?" He asked leading me out of the library his dark.
"Yes." I said slowly looking at him. "How did you know?"
Severus cursed his eyes dark. "It was mine when I went to school."
I froze my eyes wide. "You?"
"Yes I created new spells and tried to find better ways to create new methods for potions. Its what I did in my free time when I went home in the summer." My mouth was open in shock.
"Why Prince why not something else?" I asked trying to piece it all together.
"Prince was my mother's maiden name. I wanted to show my wizarding side because I envied the Pure-bloods and their secrets. The people I were friends with put huge ideals on being Pure-blood. If I hadn't cared about being one of them so much my life could have turned out very differently."
"I'm sorry Severus." I muttered frowning. We came to a stop outside of the infirmary where Luna, Ginny, Hannah and Neville sat against the wall.
"How is he?" I asked at once.
"Madame Pomfrey said he should be fine." Neville said his arm wrapped around Hannah.
"What happened?" I asked sitting next to them. They quickly filled me in on what happened. Apparently Ron had been drugged by the love potion Romilda had given Harry. Harry had taken Ron to Slughorn so he would be able to get rid of it. Unfortunately once you come down from the love potion you came down hard and needed a pick me up. Slughorn had given Ron some wine and it turned out it was poison.
"Harry grabbed the bezoar and shoved it down his throat. It saved Ron's life. The poison that was in there was fast working so it could have killed him. He saved my brother's life." Ginny said shaking her head her eyes red.
Suddenly my heart sped up and I gasped at the feel. Terror rippled through my body and I clutched my chest trying to slow my heart.
"Mrs Black?" Severus asked leaning down to look at me. "Is something wrong?" My chest tightened and I gasped as another wave of terror came over me.
"Sirius!" I gasped out clutching my chest. "Somethings wrong with Sirius!" Tears squeezed out of my eyes and I gasped a desperate breath. What was happening to my husband?
