The Hogwarts Paradox // Harry Potter

022- The Traitor

Sirius pulled Y/N into the Whomping Willow until they were out of sight. The spot where he had bit on her leg was sore and slightly bleeding.

Sirius dragged her through the tunnel, that turned into a long corridor.

Soon enough, they found themselves in a creaky wooden room, with old furniture lying around. It was the Shrieking Shack.

Y/N was limping so she settled down on a chair to give her injured leg some relief. Sirius was just standing awkwardly in a corner, afraid of what might come next.

"They'll be here any minute now." Y/N said, looking at the entrance from where they came in.

"Here, take my wand. You'll need it." Y/N handed him her wand.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Sirius asked sounding concerned.

"Oh I don't know, it's not like you dragged me across the floor and bit my leg!" Y/N said sarcastically as she crossed her arms and leaned backwards into the wall. Scabbers withered frantically in her hands.

"Don't blame me. I suggested you walk through the tunnel, you were the one who wanted me to drag you!" Sirius said, crossing his arms too.

"Well, I didn't want Harry to think I'm on your side in case things go south. He needs to believe you kidnapped me." she grinned at Sirius and he shook his head bemused.

"But you are on my side."

"But he doesn't know that."

"So you decided to make me a kidnapper?" He said, faking an offended look.

"You're already falsely accused of mass murder, Sirius. Being a kidnapper too won't affect your record that much." She teased him.

At that moment, the door swung open with Harry, Hermione and Ron pointing their wands at Sirius.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Expelliarmus!" Sirius said, pointing Y/N's wand at them. Harry, Hermione and Ron's wands shot out of their hands into the air, and Sirius caught them. Then he took a step closer. His eyes were fixated on Harry. "I thought you'd come to help your friend." He said, "Your father would've done the same for me. Brave of you not to run for a teacher. I'm grateful... it'll make things much easier..."

Y/N could feel Harry's anger rise. "Don't do anything stupid, Harry." she whispered quietly. "Listen to him first."

Ron, however spoke to Sirius, " If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" He was trying very hard to hide his fear. He was limping slightly and wincing from the sprained ankle he got from the Whomping Willow attack.

Sirius looked at him in pity, seeing him hurt, "Lie down," he said to Ron, "You will damage that leg even more."

"Do you hear me?!" Ron yelled, "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill all three of us!"

"Only one will die tonight." Black said calmly.

"Then it'll be you!" Harry bellowed and tackled Sirius Black to the ground. He grabbed his wand from his hand and pointed it at his throat.

"Harry, don't!" Y/N warned him. She could see the determination in his eyes...the pure hatred and malice.

"YOU- YOU KILLED MY PARENTS! Harry pressed the top of his wand deeper into Sirius's neck, "YOU DESERVE TO DIE-"

The door burst open, Remus came rushing inside the room, his wand raised and ready. His eyes flickered over Ron and Hermione, standing next to the wall, over to Y/N sitting on the chair with her slightly injured leg stretched out, then to Harry, standing there with his wand pointed at Sirius.
