Sirius was taunting Bellatrix Lestrange, his Death Eater cousin.
"Come on, you can do better than that," Sirius taunted. When Bellatrix shouted a spell towards Sirius, Harry shouted, "Expelliarmus!", and then left into the Atrium, and his scar burned in pain. Bellatrix ran after him, and Sirius ran after her. "Crucio!", she shouted, making Harry writh in pain. "Now. Where. Is. That. Prophecy.", Bellatrix asked. "It was destroyed, your old mate, Voldemort, is mad at you," Harry said. Sirius came out.
"Ah, hello Harry Potter, it is time for you to die," Voldemort said.
"Master, I tried, please do not punish me. I was fighting the Animagus Black," Bellatrix explained, hoping for her obsessive love to help her. Sirius rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"Be quiet, Bella, I will deal with you in a moment," Voldemort said threateningly.
"It was foolish of you to come here, tonight, Tom, the Aurors are on their way," Dumbledore appeared suddenly.
"And in a moment, you shall be dead," Voldemort said, with an evil grin on his face.
"Avada Kedrava!", Voldemort shouted at Dumbledore, and he and Sirius raised their wands in self defense.
The battle was crazy, but Voldemort was crazy.
"You're a fool, Harry Potter, and you will lose everything."
The Ministry of Magic showed up, with Percy and Cornelius Fudge showing up.
"He's back!" Fudge shouted.
"Sirius Black, arrest him!" Fudge shouted.
"No, don't!" Harry and Dumbledore shouted.
"What?!" Fudge shouted.
"He's innocent, he didn't betray my parents and kill 12 Muggles and Peter Pettigrew," Harry explained.
"I didn't have a trial to prove my innocence," Sirius explained.
"Did you do this, Fudge?!" Amelia Bones shouted, angrily.
"Well…" Fudge was starting to explain.
"Millicient Bagnold and Barty Crouch Sr. were scared of the world. So many people betrayed the Order and Ministry." Fudge explained.
"NO REASON, FUDGE, NO MATTER WHAT, LUCIUS MALFOY, CRABBE, GOYLE, MULCIBER, AVERY, NOTT, ALECTO CARROW, AMYCUS CARROW, IGOR KARKAROFF, JUGSON, BARTY CROUCH JR., BELLATRIX LESTRANGE, RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE, RABASTAN LESTRANGE, LUDO BAGMAN, WALDEN MACNAIR, AND CORBAN YAXLEY ALL GOT TRIALS, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME AN INNOCENT MAN DIDN'T GET A TRIAL!"
"I'll set one up, it will take place on 25 June, if I find proof that you did not betray the Potters or kill 12 Muggles and Peter Pettigrew, then you will be given custody of Harry, until then he will stay at the Dursleys."
Harry and Sirius went to Dumbledore's office.
"This is my fault, all my fault, if I hadn't let Snivellus get into my head. If Kreacher hadn't told me Harry and his friends were in the Department of Mysteries, then I would be safe."
"I was stupid to believe that racist, incriminative elf."
"No, the fault is mine, I believed that if I had you locked up in Grimmauld Place, where you would be safe, and if I distanced myself from Harry all school year, Voldemort wouldn't invade his mind."
"The prophecy was smashed, Albus," Sirius said. "There is no hope of having him hear it."
"Memories are a powerful thing, my former student," Albus said.
Harry and Sirius heard the harsh, hoarse voice of Sybill Trelawney speak:
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…
born to those who thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…
and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not…
and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…
the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…
"Now I will break down this prophecy,"
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord means the person who will defeat and kill Voldemort."
"Ok."
"Born to those who have thrice defied him means somebody's parents' defied Voldemort three times."
"Ok, we're listening."
"There are two sets of parents."
"Frank and Alice Longbottom."
"Neville's parents."
"And Lily and James Potter."
"Harry's parents."
"And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal means that, in someway, Voldemort will mark either you or Neville as one of his equals."
"Ok, understood."
"But he will have power the Dark Lord knows not."
"What does this power refer to?" Sirius asked, curious.
"It refers to love. Voldemort does not and cannot understand love." Dumbledore explained.
"Ah."
"The next line said that either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survived."
"It means me and him will have to kill each other, in the end." Harry explained.
"What didn't you tell me before in previous years?" Harry asked.
"I'll explain it."
"In your first year, you stopped Voldemort and Quirrell from procuring the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone and stopped Voldemort from getting a new body. I didn't tell you because I thought 11 was too young."
"I understand that, but what about my second year?"
"In your second year, you slayed the Basilisk, destroyed Voldemort's diary, and rescued Ginny. I didn't tell you because I thought 12 was still young. Plus, I had already told you about Voldemort transferring his powers to you."
"What about my third year?" Harry asked.
"In your third year, you had found out the truth about Sirius, who betrayed the Potters, and Peter Pettigrew. I didn't tell you since I knew you and Hermione only had one chance to rescue Sirius."
"Ok, but what about last year?" Harry asked.
"Last year, you were entered in the Triwizard Tournament by who everybody thought was Alastor Moody, and faced dragons, merpeople, Boggarts, Sphinxes, Acromantulas, Blast-Ended Skrewts, and Voldemort was brought back, and plus Cedric was killed. You were in pain from being cut open by Pettigrew and Voldemort's return in general as he used the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses on you."
"This year, I realized that I couldn't hide the truth from you since Voldemort was after the prophecy."
"Sirius, Harry, we need to have lessons to prepare ourselves for Voldemort and possibly, defeating him."
"Ok."
