Twisted

1 ~ He's still here

When the crowd of Death Eaters approached the courtyard nobody had a good feeling. Hermione and Ron were desperately looking for their best friend.

"He couldn't have gone to the forest." said Ron. Hermione glanced at Sirius, who was looking at the Death Eaters.

"Harry Potter is Dead!" Shouted one Death Eater.

"The Dark lord is gone!" Cried another.

"The curse hit the boy and rebounded onto the Dark Lord himself. You fools! The Dark Lord will return!" Cried a third

Death Eater just before they all apperated away.

   Sirius froze. He couldn't move. His joints seemed to lock up on themselves.

   Ginny fell to her knees and let out a loud ear piercing scream. He was gone. Ron and Hermione hugged each other so tightly. Their friend, who cared about them so dearly, was dead.

They caught a glimpse of a tall man walking with his head down.

"Hagrid!" Ron and Hermione called.

"Hagrid! It's Harry! He's-" They paused as Hagrid turned around, holding the lifeless body of their best friend.

"I saw it happen. I should've done something!" Hagrid cried.

   Ron gasped. He began to sob as he wrapped his arms around Harry, "Harry! Please! Harry wake up!" Molly and Arthur stood behind their son.

Ron after an unbreakable hug stepped back and whispered, "I miss you already. Tell Fred I miss him too." He wished he never had to say those words.

    Hagrid then laid Harry down on his back and everyone crowded around him.

"MOVE! MOVE!" Sirius cried, finally being able to move, as he pushed his way through the crowd. When he reached the front of the crowd he suddenly froze again.

"NO!" Sirius screamed as he fell to his knees. He began to shake as he held his arms around his godson's lifeless body.

   "Harry! Please wake up! It should have been me!" Sirius cried with Harry in his arms.

   "Why? Why did you do it?" Sirius cried.

   Sirius took a breath and with a weak tone he continued, "I tried to protect you. I have failed you. I failed James. I failed Lily. Oh Harry, I'm so sorry."

Hermione broke into tears. She knew how Harry's family was. Sirius was his only bit of family left. Sirius loved Harry like he was his own son. Harry was so happy when he found out Sirius was his godfather. Harry never considered the Dursley's real family.

   "I won't let you go!" Sirius cried as he trembled, "I can't." Sirius began to think of James.

Harry would be with his father, but he never wanted it to end like this.
