In the early morning hours of June 18th I received a letter from Hermione, telling me that Harry had a vision of Sirius being tormented by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries.

There'd been some sort of skirmish with Dolores when Harry tried to get to Sirius using the Floo Network in her office, but she didn't go into too much detail about that.

She said I needed to gather as many Order members as I could and get the the Department of Mysteries as soon as possible, that they were going to save Sirius.

It was well before working hours, it couldn't have been any later than 4am!

After quickly getting dressed I apparated to Grimmauld Place, leaving a VERY confused Percy sitting in bed asking questions.

I gathered as many people as I could, my dad, my cousin Nymphadora Tonk (Dora for short), Alastor 'Madeye' Moody... the real one not Barty, Kingsley, and Sirius.

Sirius being home shocked me slightly at first, but everyone quickly realized that the 'vision' had been a hoax.

Voldemort now knew about the connection between him and Harry and had used it to his advantage to try and get the Prophecy about Harry.

By the time we arrived at the Ministry everyone else was in the Death Chamber in the Department of Mysteries.

We found Harry on the verge of handing the prophecy to death eater Lucius Malfoy.

All of us entered the room within seconds, Dora throwing a stunning spell at Lucius Malfoy, knocking him backwards and breaking the prophecy.

In the battle everyone was all over the place, Sirius was fighting someone, Kingsley was fighting against 2 death eaters, and Dora was dueling Bellatrix.

I was dueling some freaky looking guy named Travers, who Sirius had seemed uneasy about me dueling with in the first place.

As soon as Dumbledore arrived everyone stopped dueling, everyone aside from Sirius and Bellatrix who both started dueling each other and seemed oblivious to Dumbledore's presence.

Sirius was taunting Bellatrix for not having hit him with a spell, which wasn't surprising but it wasn't helping, all he was doing was making her angry.

While everyone else seemed to be preoccupied with either helping Dumbledore or fleeing from him, I slowly started sneaking closer to Sirius and Bellatrix, keeping close to the ground.

When he'd decided to taunt her again, laughing at his own joke, which hadn't been all that funny if I'm being honest, I was laying on the ground just beyond his legs.

They were oblivious to my presence!

She pulled her arm back, aiming her wand directly at Sirius's chest.

Lifting my arm slightly in unison with her, as to try and keep the element of surprise, I was somehow able to cast my spell first.

"STUPEFY!"

My spell went right in between Sirius's legs, hitting her in the stomach.

Bellatrix went flying backwards, landing on her back about 5 feet away from where she'd been standing, completely unconscious.

Sirius looked completely dumbfounded, at least until he looked down at the ground behind him

"When did you get there?" He asked, his eyebrows knitting together in confusion.

"About 2 minutes ago, you don't pay attention worth shit!" I answered

Now, the spell I'd used doesn't last long, Bellatrix was quickly back up and now running out of the room.
