The Boy Who Protected

Saving Sirius

Aurora POV:

The next two weeks of our O.W.L.S weren't the same as the first, the air felt gloomier with Sky not being here. We heard that McGonagall was recovering well at St. Mungo's, and when people found out about Sky being killed, many of them were just as sad as the rest of us. We didn't realize how many people liked Sky until she was gone, many of the younger students were sad they didn't get to see their favorite creature in the corridors or in the great hall anymore.

We were in our last O.W.L which just so happened to be History of Magic, we were progressing through our exam without issue until I looked over to see Harry clutching his scar and then he fell out of his chair. I knew Naomi wanted to get out of her seat and be there for Harry but she couldn't so I exchanged a concerned look with her. Professor Marchbank walked over to Harry to see what was going on.

"Are you alright Potter?" She asked concerned as Harry continued to grasp at his scar as he shook his head.

"Pressure of the exams, it happens to the best of us. Take a deep breath and maybe you will be able to finish."

"He won't be able to." Kaden said from his seat.

I whipped my head around to Kaden and when our eyes met he sent me a message.

'Voldemort is showing Sirius being tortured in the department of mysteries.'

My eyes widened with shock. Luckily the exam was over shortly after so we left the hall to go find Harry to see if he was ok. When we did find Harry he was leaning against a pillar still clutching his scar.

"Harry, are you alright?" Naomi asked softly cupping his face.

"Voldemort." Harry said quietly. "He has Sirius... Int he department of mysteries."

Naomi let go of Harry's face and stumbled back slightly.

"No, no, no, no, no." Naomi said shaking her head. "He can't, I can't lose him."

I went over to Naomi and wrapped her in a hug as she started to break down.

"Wait, how do you know that?" Hermione asked.

"He just showed it to him before I blocked Harry's mind." Kaden said.

"How are we going to get there?" Harry asked.

"To the department of mysteries?" Ron asked.

"We have to do something!" Harry yelled. "I won't let Sirius die!"

Ginny and Bella came around the corner with Neville, Luna, Fred, and George.

"We heard Harry yelling." Ginny said. "What's going on?"

"Voldemort has Padfoot in the department of mysteries. He could already have the weapon." Harry said.

"Ok, just a second." I said getting everyone's attention. "We need to check that Padfoot isn't at headquarters first."

"And what do we have here?" Came the sickly voice we never thought we would hear again.

"What do you want?" I snarled at the woman who killed my daughter.

"Now, now that is no way to talk to your high inquisitor." Umbridge said with her sick smile.

"You have quite the amount of nerve showing your face around us after what you did." Naomi said to the woman.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean dear." Umbridge said trying to sound innocent.

I looked to see Kaden who had just nodded at the Weasley twins and grew devious smiles and they excused themselves.
