The Light Side is Doomed {HP WTM}

Chapter Five

Sirius looked at his best friend in horror. He looked directly into his black eyes, "Where?" he asked.

"Cave."

"Very helpful James, thank you," Sirius said sarcastically.

"You're welcome," James answered just as sarcastically.

"How?" Sirius decided to ask.

"Inferi," James said, not helping Sirius' panic.

Orion's hold tightened around his youngest. Sirius felt like he couldn't breath for two reasons—his brother might die and he's still between Regulus and Sirius and was getting crushed.

"Where?!"

"Cave."

"Where is the cave?!"

"Where is the cave?!" the Black sisters echoed Sirius by a second.

"Kweacher knows," Morgana mumbled. Sirius didn't know how Morgana knew that but he wasn't going to ask. "KREACHER!" he called, knowing he had only been disowned by one parent, he could summon the elf. "What does the filthy blood traitor want with Kreacher? To summon him to this blood traitor house?" Kreacher said appearing in the Manor, only to flinch seeing the head of the Potter elves appear and glare at him along with a tired three year old and black eyed James.

"I have no time for arguing but if you ever call me a blood traitor again, especially as the Lord to the House of Black, I will curse you so badly that you puke out your insides," Sirius threatened making the elf look at him surprised. Kreacher was use to the threats but to hear it was because he was called a blood traitor was surprising.

"I've threatened him worse than that," Sirius mumbled, "in my head."

"Now, take me to Regulus," he ordered.

"Kreacher can't," the elf argued.

"You have the power to disobey Regulus, I am trying to save him," Sirius said, "Take me to Regulus," he ordered again. Sirius put his status forward this time, he was Lord Black and it was very hard for an elf to disobey the Lord. Kreacher took his hand and they reappeared at a cave, things were crawling up the cave, "Sirius!" he heard his little brother yell making him run in and call out to Kreacher, "Get them!" and Kreacher also attacked as many as they can. After about ten minutes of fighting off the Inferi, Sirius had dragged out his brother from the cave.

Regulus sighed in relief and hugged his brother for saving him. Orion almost sagged in his seat in relief. Others cheered for Regulus being saved in time.

"I will take him back with me," Sirius tells Kreacher, "But I need you to take that necklace back to James Potter, I know what it is and I know Regulus was going to fuck things up more than they already are, take it back to him and immediately drop it when you get there. I don't know what state James is in at the moment, just drop it and leave. I also don't need you holding that necklace for long, it dies bad things to a wizard, no idea what it'll do to an elf," he says. Kreacher seemed to be looking at the wizard who was checking over his brother's injuries with new respect.

"That's new," Sirius mumbled making his brother and father snort knowing his relationship with the house elf currently.

Kreacher then made a decision, "Is that all, Master?" he asked.

"Whaaaaaaaat?" Sirius said in shock. Regulus and Orion also looked surprised while Bellatrix had her jaw dropped. Narcissa and Andromeda looked impressed; it was hard to get that elf to change his opinion when he didn't like you.

Sirius paused in his check over and looked at the elf in surprise; he was accepting him as his Master, willingly? "Keep an eye on my father, I know you like my mother, but I suspect she is doing something to him," he orders, "Now leave."

Kreacher leaves and appears back in front of James Potter who seemed to have not moved, but his eyes were back to normal. The elf dropped the necklace and left, not saying anything and began to follow his new orders of watching Walburga's actions.

Sirius returns to the Potter Manor, his brother in his arms. He spots James, his eyes were back to normal and Morgana was asleep again. They kept forgetting Morgana was technically only about two weeks old at this point, she was going to sleep a lot. The new addition was Alice Longbottom. "She's the best healer we know, an elf is going to guide you to a room for Regulus," James said. Sirius didn't argue and followed the elf with Alice following behind them.

Alice saw thankful looks headed her direction from the House of Black and blushed. Part of her was also thinking that she was surprised that they hadn't thanked James yet; he was the one who gave the warning, right?

Death appeared and picked up the horcrux, "I will take this with me, and bring it back when necessary just get the other ones," he told James. The man nodded and the entity left. James finally stood up and left to go to his office, dropping Morgana off in her room to sleep some more. He had asked advice from her, which was a bit odd for him as she was physically a three year old. He pulled out a few bits of parchment and began to write out two different letters. By the time he finished, he heard a knock, "Come in," he said. Alice walked in, "I did what I could, if I have your permission I can come back in the morning to check on him," she said.

"What are his injuries?"

"He mainly had some very deep cuts from those things trying to drag him away. He has quite a bit of bruises and he'll be a bit weak from the blood loss. There was also a potion he had to drink, it was something to do with Kreacher and Voldemort but the elf told us what it was and I was able to counter it thankfully. The elf looked scared to admit to it, thankfully Sirius didn't yell at him, just thanked him, but then I think that freaked him out more," Alice explained.

"It would," Sirius confirmed.

"He had Walburga as a Mistress," James reminded her.

"True, do you want me back in the morning? I don't think Sirius is leaving his side, so you most likely won't see him," Alice said. James nodded, inviting her back in the morning, bringing Frank and Neville with her if she pleased.

Alice soon left and James looked back at the two letters, he had charmed them so the receivers couldn't tell anybody about the letter and nobody else could see it. It was time to see what side Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew are truly on.

Remus and Peter tensed. They hoped they were on James' side.
