Another Chance
Hey guys, I vowed not to forget about this fanfic so here I am… This one is about the moment when Sirius Black is supposed to die- oh sorry, I do not want to spoil the ending of this one so I will leave you on a little cliff hanger for the time being. You have to read this chapter and find out what happens. I'll leave you to it then. -oliviathestoryteller :D
Sirius was sitting alone on the table when a familiar flame red feather appeared on the table along side a note. Fawkes the Phoenix's feathers were only used in case of an Emergency. Sirius grabbed his wand and rapidly read the note:
'Harry is in trouble, confronted by death-eaters. Apparate to the Department of mysteries; everybody else is already there fighting, come. Now.'
Sirius spun on the spot as though his life depended on it, he felt the familiar stomach churning feeling of apparition and then appeared in what seemed like the midst of a battle field. Death-eaters were cornering the poor kids as they yelled the spells that they knew of into their faces. Sirius blasted a stunning spell at Yaxley who shielded it and then carried on fighting Kingsley Shacklebolt.
A moment later, Nymphadora Tonks screeched in pain as Bellatrix Lestrange succeeded firing a severe wound hex at her; Bellatrix cornered Harry and was about to send a very sketchy looking curse at him when Sirius had, had enough and marched into the scene. Sirius -spammed jinxes- stepped in front of Harry and started duelling his cousin.
Bellatrix sent a feeble leg-lock curse at Sirius who deflected it with a lazy flick of his wand.
"Is that all you got!?" taunted Sirius.
Bellatrix sent an ominous orange curse at Sirius who dodged it by a millisecond. Things were turning Serious (sorry for the terrible pun).
As Bellatrix got ready to send the next spell, Sirius looked around and spotted a killing curse miss Ginny by a centimetre. Before he could get involved, Harry rushed at the death-eater yelling battle shouts. Sirius smirked, he figured Harry had it under control.
Sirius turned back to see a hex flying towards him, he ducked and it flew above his head, Luna was knocked out and had fainted. Sirius' attention flew back to Bellatrix and continued taunting as he sent spell after spell at her.
"That all you got little Bellatrix?!" he laughed
Bellatrix threw such a rapid killing curse at him that he couldn't dodge or deflect it. It was the end. Or was it?
Remus Lupin came and blocked the spell that had nearly killed Sirius and yelled
"Not my bestie you witch!" With that, Lupin sent an equally fast shot at Bellatrix who wasn't so lucky and was flung backwards.
The fighting continued, but all Sirius could do was look at Lupin with awe; he had -after all- saved his life. After a minute or so, Dumbledore came over to him and said:
"I can take over the battle now. Take Nymphadora Tonks and apparate her to my office before the death-eaters send a killing curse at her and do the same with Luna Lovegood over there. If you apparate the both of them to my office, the charms have been lifted so you will be able to apparate in and out of Hogwarts this evening. Hurry." Dumbledore ordered.
Sirius grabbed Luna and Tonks and hurtled around on the spot until he found himself in Dumbledores office. He smiled, now that Dumbledore was there in the battle, he wouldn't let any harm get to the remaining kids fighting. As he dragged the two figures downstairs to where Madame Pomphrey would be waiting, he vowed to thank Remus for saving his life as soon as physically possible.
