AN: Once again I am not JK Rowling.
Sirius POV
Death eaters and ministry workers were converging on the tent. People were disapparating left and right. An explosion sounded behind me and I whirled with my wand ready. Standing tall and proud with dark obsidian eyes was Severus Snape. My lips twitched at the corners, wanting to smile at my friend. He glared at me and went to raise his wand. I glared back and tackled him to the ground. We landed with a crash and I pinned him to the ground.
"Did they get out?" He asked as I let him have the advantage and he pinned me.
"Yes they're on the hunt now." I muttered between clenched teeth half-heartdly reaching for my wand.
He slipped his hand into my pocket and grunted. "Save as many as you can and don't use his name."
"What do you mean –" I started but was cut off.
"GET OFF OF HIM!" A voice shrieked. I looked up shocked into Fleur's face. Her wedding dress was dripping with blood and her makeup was horribly smudged. Tears cascaded down her cheeks and her hair was an absolute mess.
"Blood traitor!" Severus yelled his eyes just as mad as Bellatrix's.
"Death Eater scum!" I yelled pulling out my wand. He gave me a look of pure hatred then disapparated with a loud crack.
"Sirius get out of here!" Remus yelled running towards me. He gripped my hand and apparated us away. We landed roughly outside Grimmauld Place.
"What about Tonks?" I asked my eyes darting around. There didn't seem to be any suspicious activity going on.
"She left early, thank Merlin, said something about not feeling good and that she would lie down for awhile. I told her to come here instead of to our home, had a feeling something like this would happen." Remus muttered his eyes darting around.
"I guess we should be grateful for small favors." I sighed running a hand through my hair.
"Did the trio get away in time?" Remus asked opening up the door. We quietly made our way into the house. Nothing seemed to be amiss as we walked on further my wand ready at my side. I poked my head into the dining room. No one was in there.
"Yes their on the run now." I muttered quietly making my way up the steps.
"Its more than that though, their trying to kill Volde-"
"Don't say his name!" I hissed my eyes darting around.
Remus' head snapped towards me in surprise. "You of all wizards have never been afraid to use the name."
"No its not that. I heard one of the death eaters say not to use his name." I muttered biting my lip. What was it that Severus had said? Something about a taboo? Ugh it had been too long since we had talked about it! Why couldn't Fleur have waited two minutes to break up our fight?
"I hate to say it but he's rather brilliant." Remus said shaking his head. "If he put some sort of curse on his name or something. He knows the only wizards who used it were the Order and Albus."
"Yeah, I guess." I muttered peaking into the drawing room. Tonks was curled up on the couch snoring lightly while Jean softly played the piano in the corner. Herman was nodding along with the tune holding Sebastian in his arms who was giggling happily. We slowly walked into the room and sat on the other couch.
"Hey how was the wedding?" Herman asked a sad smile on his face. They had already been prepared for Hermione's departure but I doubt she had prepared them for this.
"The ministry fell into the death eater's hands." Jean stopped playing and sat up a shocked look on her face. Herman's eyes bugged and started to dart around the room. Sebastian stopped smiling and looked around in confusion.
"Herm!" Sebastian yelled looking around the room for his sister. Herm was short for Hermione sine he couldn't say whole words yet. I crossed the room and easily pulled him into my arms. He giggled and batted at my hair.
"Did they get out in time?" Jean asked her voice wavering.
"Yes." I said rocking Sebastian in my arms. He smiled as I bobbed from one foot to the other.
"Thank heavens." Herman muttered pulling Jean against his side. "What happens now?"
"Well unfortunately Hermione is probably the most known muggleborn witch in the wizarding world at the moment. Because of that they know your names and what you look like, Sebastian too. I think it would be better if you didn't leave the house." Remus said softly his voice hoarse. His eyes kept darting to Tonks who was still sleeping peacefully on the couch making little grunts in her sleep. At six weeks pregnant Tonks was glowing with only the slightest of bumps showing off the baby.
"I can still leave the house under my animagus form so I can get us food and anything else we could possibly need. The only problem is I'll have to go out into muggle London to get it. Would you two mind giving me a little tutorial on muggle money?"
"Of course Sirius but do you have money like that?" Herman asked his eyebrows drawn together.
"Yes ever since I've gotten off for my charges in Azkaban I have different kinds of money stashed. I have British, American, Romanian, Mexican, you name it I probably have it." I said running a hand through my hair.
"Why so much?" Jean asked surprised.
"You never know when you might need to escape." I said shrugging. Jean and Herman nodded and decided to start making a list for anything that they might need.
"Moony you mind if I talk to you in the hall?" I asked bouncing Sebastian in my arms.
"Sure, Pads." He said rubbing his eyes. I grabbed his hand and pulled him out into the hall. The door where Ginny usually stayed was open and I led him in there.
"I have the list of muggleborns." I whispered quickly.
His eyes widened in surprise and he sat down heavily on the bed.
"How did you get it?" He asked his voice thick with emotion.
"One of the death eaters dropped it." I said pulling it out of my pocket. The familiar tiny cramped writing made me smile and think of my friend. Who knew Severus Snape and I would become such good friends?
I quickly read down the names. My heart stuttered when I reached the bottom.
Reminder 1: Do not say the Dark Lord's name, he created a taboo that pulls down all of your wards if spoken.
Reminder 2: Keep an eye out for the Mudblood Black and her Blood-traitor Husband.
I looked over the note again my eyebrows drawing together. The writing wasn't Severus'. If it hadn't been his then whose was it?
