A Sirius Mistake

Death makes an apperance

Sirius POV

The scream flew around the whole of the school, shattering the ear drums of young pupils. I look towards Minerva who looks like she had saw a ghost.

I snap back into reality and run towards the door, but Minerva must have snapped back too as i freeze on the spot, Minerva holding her wand high.

"I cant let you leave Sirius, Its dangerous."

"But Harry is out there, Death eaters are in the school!" I shout

"Dont be so absurd Sirius, how do you possible know that, it was just a scream of a small child" reassures professor McGonagall

"Even you know thats a lie! Even you know that was the scream of BELLATRIX LESTRANGE!"

"even if it that is true, Harry is in Hogwarts, the chance that you see him is very high"

"can i just repeat myself! DEATHEATERS IN HOGWARTS, HARRY IN HOGWARTS, EXTREME DANGER FOR HARRY!" i bellow trying to get this in her brain.

"I want to let you leave, but im on strict orders by Dumbledore to keep you here"

"wait wait a minute. He knew! He knew all along that he wouldnt be here, he led me here to trap me, He knew that death eaters were coming, IS THIS MAN INSANE!"

"Sirius im sure, he has a very good reason for this."

"Ive had enough of this!" I regrettably push her out of the way and storm out of the office.

*-flashback before sirius arrived

Harrys POV

I can see him under the crack of the stairs. Malfoy. I knew he was up to something but nobody believed me, not even Remus.

"Good evening Draco, What brings you out on such a fine spring evening? Or is it summer?" Asks Dumbledore cheerfully

"Who else is here? I heard you talking!" Snapped Draco

"i often talk aloud to myself. I find it extraordinarily useful. That which sounds sane as a whisper can seem utterly mad when said for all the world to hear. Haven't been whispering to yourself, have you, Draco?"

Draco meets Dumbledore eyes with unease.

"You are not an assassin Draco" Continues Dumbledore

"How do you know what i am? Ive done things that would shock you!" Draco Shouted wand pointed straight at Dumbledores heart,

I raise mine for precautions.

"Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping
she would, in turn, bear a cursed
necklace to me? Like replacing a
bottle of mead with one laced with
poison. Forgive me, Draco, but
these are attempts so feeble I
cannot help but question if your
heart has been really in them.
I'm curious. When Voldemort gave
you this task, when he asked you
to kill me, was it in a whisper?" Cleverly asks Dumbledore

"He trusts me! I was chosen!" Draco shouts thrusting out his arm and pulling up his sleeve to reveal the dark mark in all its glory, wriggling in his pale skin.

"Then i shall make it easy for you." Says Dumbledore raising his wand

"EXPELLIARUMUS!" Shouts Draco knocking out his wand from the old mans hand, I move around to get a better aim of Malfoy.

"Well done Draco! But i warn you killing is not as easy." Warns Dumbledore.

Dark clouds start to emerge around the tower, creating a cold shadow over Hogwarts.

"Your not alone are you, there are others, how?!" Demands Dumbledore amazed.

"The vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement." Sneers Malfoy.

"That cabinet has been broken for years."

"Ive been mending it!" Draco boasts

"Ingenious. Let me guess. It has a sister. A twin" Dumbledore stalls

"In borgin and burkes. They form-"

"A passage. Yes. Very good." Interrupts Dumbledore. "I once knew a boy, who made all the wrong choices. Let me help you, Draco."

"I dont want you help! Dont you see! I have to do it! I have to!" He shouts, "Ive got to kill you or he'll kill me" He concludes with a whisper.

"Say that again Draco but aloud now."

Suddenly i hear a door creak open and footstep make their way up the tower. I reposition myself for a better view.

"Well look who we have here. Dumbledore. Wand less and alone. Cornered in his own castle, well done Draco." Screeched a young witch.

"Good evening Bellatrix, i think introductions are in order." Says Dumbledore

"Love to Albus, but we are on a bit of a tight schedule." She sneered, she turns back to the shivering boy, "Do it!" Draco raises his wand once again.

I lift my wand at the same time pointed at Draco, when i feel a breath on my shoulder. Eyes watching me. Snape. I quickly turn around but he already has his wand pointed at my head.

He holds up his hand and gestures me to keep quiet. Shuush. Immediately i lower my wand, and look back up to see the strangers, Snape moves again as silent as a ghost.

"He doesn't have the stomach, like his father. Let me finish him off, my own way." Spat Greyback, a hungry werewolf waiting for his feast, he was the one who turned Remus.

"No the Dark Lord was clear! The boy's to do it. Go on, Draco. Now!" Snapped Bellatrix.

"No." Appears Snape from the shadows.

"Severus..." Whispers Dumbledore

"Well look who's here. The Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher. Come to see the slaughter?" She laughed

"Severus please...." Repeats Dumbledore

"I gave my word. I made a vow."

I dart my eyes back and forth frantically to made sense of the scene.

"Avada Kadavra." A spark of green light jetted out of Snape's wand and hits Dumbledore chest. I fall to my knees in shock, as the best man i know falls down the tower. Another person i failed to save. First Sirius. Now Dumbledore.

A black darkness shoots out of bellatrix's wand and cracks the sky, creating the mark that was on Draco's arm. The dark mark. Voldemort's mark. The mark arrived with a horrendous scream that travelled through the school.

Sirius POV

I sprint through the school, hiding in the crowds of streaming children. I found a old school cloak and was covering my face with it. What the hell has happened?! We reach the main entrance when i stop, as i see my Godson enter a circle of people surrounding someone. I step closer, still hiding my face. I reach an area where i was taller and the shock finally hits me.

Laying on the floor, was my old headmaster, head of order, powerful wizard, dead on the floor. Next to him, Harry. Pouring his eyes out on Ginnys shoulder.

I wish it was my shoulder.

As selfish as this sounds, maybe its a good thing the old man is gone, he was getting very old anyway, and he cant keep me from Harry anylonger.

I go towards him when I'm blocked by young witches and wizards, holding up their wands creating a small glow. I look up to see what they were pointing at. The dark mark. In all respects i should join in too. I lift up my wand and finally the dark mark is destroyed.

I stepped forward. When Someone behind me grabs me and pulls me into the shadows.
