The New Prophecy

Chapter 4: Missing Moony

Sirius POV:

"That's not possible," Hermione said.

"I know the map- it- never lies, but- it's not- it's- not possible." She exclaimed.

"He died, I-" she started.

"I saw his dead body!" She exclaimed.

"I was at his funeral! I was there with Harry and Ron and Ginny and the rest of the school and the minister and everyone, and I saw him physically get buried!" She yelled.

"This is insane. I'm going insane. This isn't normal." She repeated.

"You're not going insane." Said Lily softly, approaching her.

"I know I'm not. I know it's just-" she started.

"Imagine if I'm reacting like this, how would Harry react?" She started.

"Especially if you three show up now along with Dumbledore?" She finished.

"He'll probably faint or worse on the spot." She said.

"She's right," Lily said.

"Imagine everyone who you knew to be dead to suddenly come and greet you casually," Hermione said.

"Oh, I hope Dumbledore doesn't know," Lily whined.

"Who else would know why this is happening? He obviously knows, but the question is, will he tell Harry? Or will he lie and avoid the truth like he's been doing the past seven years of Harry's life?" Hermione asked, obviously furious.

We all stared at her, shocked, knowing that all she said was true until we saw a silvery-white dog appear.

"Found McGonagall, Headmaster's office." Ron's voice spoke.

Hermione conjured her own Patronus, which was curious, an otter, and said

"Found another alive headmaster and Harry. No, not Snape. Don't interrupt the astronomy tower until they both come out." She said, sending off the Patronus.

"Snape?" I asked.

"Not saying a word." She said, looking guilty.

"Hermione!" I whined.

"Nope. Not my place. I can tell you a few other things, but I'm definitely not saying anything to do with Snape, he's a neutral figure for me at the moment." She said.

I could tell she was thinking of something and was kind of confused.

"Is he alive?" I asked.

"I don't- I can't-" she started.

"It's fine. We'll get details soon." Lily said.

"Thanks." Hermione smiled.

"I can't say much, as Ron said, you need to know everything that happened from the first year, but I can tell you a few things without getting into Harry's stuff." She said.

"How is he?" Lily asked, with tears in her eyes.

"I currently don't know. The last time I talked to him was when-" she stopped and put her hand over her mouth.

Lily looked worried, but Hermione continued, trying to brush off whatever it was she was thinking about. 

"He just beat Voldemort like 2 hours ago, but people died, and he's feeling guilty. As always." She said.

"Who died?" James asked nervously.

"Um. Bellatrix Lestrange, well, not a sad death, but she was killed. By Molly Weasley, Ron's mum." She said.
