AN:/ Welcome to another chapter of Rising of the Phoenix! I am actually excited for this chapter and so I won't hold you long! I don't own the rights to Harry Potter that belongs to JK Rowling. Enjoy Chapter 17 of Rising of the Phoenix!

James Point of View:
This week has been a complete wreck after finding my Grace sprawled out at odd angles at the bottom of the stair case, and blood pooling around her. I was comatose I thought she was dead. I felt like I couldn't breathe. It was Isaac shaking me out, and Sirius out of it that we got to work. Issac went to find the closest teacher, Remus was taking photos with the camera Hermione got him after finding his love for photography. And, me and Sirius each take a hold of Hermioe and carry her to the infirmary. "MADAME POMPHREY WE NEED HELP HURRY" Sirius yells.

The healing matron came rushing over, and looked ready to berate Sirius from screaming when she seen who we were holding. "Oh dead quickly set her down!" Madame Pomphrey says and quickly gets to work closing the privacy curtain.

All I could do was pace, and then it hit me I see a school owl by the window and whistle for it to come. I grab parchment, ink and quil, "Lord and Lady Prewett, Hermione was found at the bottom of the stairs, bloody and unconscious. I have no doubt she was pushed down the stairs. I found her too late, and I am so sorry for not protecting her. She is in the healing wing under the watchful eye of Madame Pomphrey. I will not leave her side until you arrive, and I know your family doesn't trust Dumbledore. She told me why, but not the others. Please come quickly she isn't consious. See you soon! Scoin James Charles Potter." I write quickly. "Take this to Lord or Lady Prewett Hermione Grace Prewett's family this is urgent" I tell the bird hoping he would understand. The bird seemed to understand the urgency and was off in a flash. "Please be quick" I whispered.

Sirius and me were seated in the chairs by her curtains Remus was standing seemed to wired to be sitting. And, then Isaac came rushing in with Professor Fitwick. "Boys are you well? Why are you covered in blood? Young Brummett told me it was urgent!" he says to us looking at us with wide eyes.

Sirius shakes his head, "Professor McGonigall sent Hermione Prewett to the healer because she wasn't looking well in class. And, with being her friends, and now having to serve detentions for leaving to make sure our dear friend made it safely. But, by the time we caught up with her she was at the bottom of the staircase. Unconscious and blood pooling evrywhere. We think someone pushed her, but we can't prove it because no one was around. Remus took photos of the area, we sent Issac to get the closest professor, and me and James carried her here. Though we might have made it worse, because we didn't use the levitation spell. We were in shock, and knew she needed to be seen. And, James wrote to her parents to inform them of what is happening. Please can you tell us if she's okay! She's our best friend." Sirius explained.

Professor Fitwick nodded, "You boys did the right thing. I will talk with Minerva about your detention being revoked if not then you can serve it with me. I will check on your friend. Fifteen points to each of you boys for helping a friend and bravery." he says to us.

All of us sit and wait and then in walked Headmaster Dumbledore. He looked like he was going to enter the curtain. "Ah James my boy I must get through I heard of young Miss. Prewett's unfortunate accident. I must see to her, before I write to her family to let them know what has happened." he says to me.

I locked my mind feeling him trying to read my memories. Merlin Hermione was right. I would be informing my parents of this, and they won't take it lightly. "There is no need Albus. We informed you in our letters you were not to be alone with our daughter. And, if you knew of an incident happening we should have been informed right away not when you felt like it." Lord Prewett sneers. Walking in with his wife on his arm. "Young Scoin Potter already wrote to us and informed us that our daughter was injured as you should have done. We have already informed his parents of our thanks for there sons. I will also be contacting the Lupin and the Brummett's in thanks. Now if you'll excuse us we would like to see our daughter." he says in a dismissive tone.

The headmaster lost some twinkle in his eye. "Of course Lord Prewett. Though while she is at school young Hermione is my responsibility." he says thinking he had won.

Lady Prewett scoffs, "And, why is that headmaster I informed you and her head of house that if me and her father could not be contacted then my cousin Fillus Fitwick is her magical guardian. As it states in her file. So he is too be contacted don't test my husband Albus Dumbledore. He is more powerful then you, and the head of the governors of Hogwarts. You were warned stay away from our daughter. Don't make us contact the minister of magic, and the DMLE" Lady Prewett sneers at the headmaster.

My friends look confused, but I knew why they were saying this, but this was her story to tell not my own. Dumbledore openly glares at the Prewetts. And, then her twin brothers come running in and see Dumbledore's look. When he sees them he storms out of the medical wing. The Prewetts seem to relax after that and then I am pulled into a group hug with my friends, and Lady Prewett. "Thank you boys for being there for my baby girl! I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't found her when you did! We owe you a great debt" She says pulling away and wiping her tears with the offered hankie from her husband.

He nods in his thanks but I just shake my head, "We love Hermione, some more so then others." I blush softly. "We upset Minnie since we all left her class to go after Hermione. I would do a million attentions to be by her side and to keep her safe. I might only be eleven, but I know I love your daughter till my dying breathe. Even after that I will chase her as a ghost" I tell them.

Sirius grins at me and rolls eyes eyebrows, "Not if I chase her first" he says in laughter.

I grin the first time since finding her and raise my wand, "She is my witch I shall fight for her honor and her hand even against my best friends. Do you accept Sirius Black?" I say mockingly.

He laughs, "She wears a necklace with my constellation so I already have claim on her, and she agreed to run away with me. So I have already won the heart of the fair maiden Hermione Prewett!" he says with a grin.

Before I say anything her brothers break out in laughter, "No one has any claim until they can beat us in a dual, and then our dear old dad. Molly won't care much. So we must defend our sisters honor. But, while we check on her I think you boys should change since you have our sisters blood all over you, and we heard you had photos would you mind taking us to the area so we can check it out?" Gideon asks.

We all nod. Isaac and Remus took Fabian and Gideon to the crime scene, while me and Sirius went and changed our clothes. It took us a bit to get back since I broke down in the safety of our dorm and Sirius just held me as I cried thinking I lost the love of my life. Soon we were back and others were waiting she had been moved to a private room with no portraits, and Dumbledore was not allowed access. She looked so weak and worn out. "She was having a vision when she was pushed. And, a clump of red hair was found in her hands. So it was proven she was pushed and her unconscious mind got a way to show us who was our pusher. Unless the hair was already in her hands. She is still having the vision I checked her pupils." Lord Prewett says.

We all sat with her until Madame Pomprhey kicked us out for the night. Her parents were staying with her. When we made it back to the dorm I pulled out the invisibility cloak I got from my father. Without my mothers knowledge. And, I wrapped it around myself without my friends noticing and as they were distracted getting ready for bed I snuck out and wnt back to the room. Thankfully I wasnt spotted, and sat with her holding her hand in my own. I was afraid to let her out of my sight because it killed me to see her like this. The Prewetts were resting and I kissed her cheek. "Come back to me Hermione My Grace I can't live without you. You are my life." I whisper in her ear and fall asleep.

I did this for a week, and would sneak back before the others caught me. Though I was caught and they understood what and why I was doing and covered for me when the prefects did bed checks. We were sitting at lunch I felt the the world was on my shoulders, and then the whole hall went silent. Issac kicks me under the table I glare at him but he nods towards the entrance of the main hall. There stood my saving Grace, by beautiful Hermione. Not laying in the hospital wing. Bloody and Bruised. She looked healthy! She was here! I quickly stood, and she broke out into a run. Flying into my arms and I held her close. "James" she whispered.

I felt for the first time in a week I could breathe. She was alive her beautiful amber eyes looked at me with such adoration I had no doubt mine showed the same. "Grace" I whispered back and I just held her like my life depended on it. Or hers did, and with how this year has gone it did.

She slid down and I broke my hold but stood close as Isaac, Remus, Frank, and the girls hugged her for dear life. It was Sirius who hadn't hugged her he looked ready to break down, Hermione jumped into his arms and he hid his face in her hair. "I'm okay Sirius thanks to you guys I am safe" she whispered.

Knowing that I wouldnt have heard if I hadn't been so close to her. "You almost died kitten besides Jamie your my best friend. I couldn't live if anything happened to you" Sirius whispered back to her.

She smiles gently to him and kisses his cheek. "You'd be just fine find another woman to woo to run away with, and forget all about me." she says to him.

Sirius shakes his head, "Nope your my main woman now Lady Prewett and only James can steal you away" he proclaims. We all sit with Hermione between me and Sirius. She smile up and me as I ready for plate of food. She grabs my hand and lays her head on my shoulder. I grin like a fool. Yes I may be eleven years old going on twelve, but I know what I am feeling and I know by school end I will have a contract, and engagement ring on Hermione Grace Prewett's finger. Because she was it for me she was my forever! And, I would die her till my dying breathe, and then again in the afterlife. I wanted eternity with my witch!

AN:/ Wowza! So I have had some people asking who pushed Hermione down the stairs? And, a lot of people mentioned they thought it was Lily. So y'all asked for it and so it was done! I was between Lily and Peter. I also wanted to do it through James POV so you could picture what happened after she fell and went into the vision. I hope you loved this chapter as much as I did especially since I have had major writers block, and I want to do this story justice! The more I write this I was going to make this either a Marlene/Sirius or a Dorcas/Sirius. But, the more I write I am getting this idea this story is turning into a Triad. What do y'all think? Who should I pair Sirius with
James/Hermione
Marlene
Dorcas
