SCARLETT: THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

Chapter 30: A reveal and a death

I took a deep breath, accidentally breathing in some old dust and coughing as I walked.

Eyes tearing up, I looked through names among names under balls of light blue smoke.

I shivered from a sudden draft and saw something...it had Harry's name on it.

"Harry..." I breathed.

"What?" Harry asked, emerald eyes widening in shock at the fact I went ashen. "Scarlett, what is it?" he demanded loudly.

"That..." I said, pointing up to the sphere with Harry's name under it. "it's...it's got your name on it." I whispered as Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Eden, Olivija and Luna rushed to our sides.

"My name?" Harry asked.

I nodded "Your name." I muttered.

Harry looked at me "You mind?" he asked.

I stepped out of Harry's way and watched as Harry picked the ball up as I reread the names under where it rested until Harry took it and was now dusting it off in spidery writing, was a date a little ways before Harry was born...and two names:

S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D.

Dark Lord

And Harry Potter

I took one look at the orb and gasped "What does this mean, Harry?" I asked.

Harry shrugged.

"This could have something to do with you and...him." I said, scared as I took the orb.

It was warm, completely confusing seeing as it was on a shelf untouched for God only knew how long.

I gave it back to him and all of a sudden I felt the world go black. I was taken by some Death Eater or someone and was taken to the centre of the room. Whoever it was placed a knife under my neck.

"Why hello dear daughter...I believe we haven't seen each other in a while..."

My eyes widened in shock. "W-what did you just say?"

"I haven't seen you in a while, have I? Well, to you I was dead, so I guess we could hardly meet up for a coffee."

"No. You're dead. Mum told me you were dead! You died in a car crash when I was three!"

"That's what I told her to tell you. I left her so I could go work for the Dark Lord. I have to say, great choice in boyfriend. It's really put me in Lucius' good books."

"How do you know about Draco?"

"Never mind that."

"I knew you were a Potter, but I never knew you were a Death Eater!"

"Of course you didn't. Hardly anyone knows. But shut up, it's time."

"You'd really do this to your own daughter?"

"I said SHUT UP!"

I closed my mouth and watched the scene unfold in front of me. Lucius was trying to get the orb off of Harry, which I've now discovered is called a prophecy.

Harry refused, and all hell broke loose.

Everyone was dueling each other, including me and my father. He was determined to kill me...and I didn't even know why. What had I done to him?

And everyone thought he was good. I thought he was dead my whole life. Then I learnt he was a Potter, and now alive...which meant he was a Death Eater Potter. He was probably disowned at a young age.

The Order suddenly burst in and began helping us fight. I was slowly becoming weaker, so I hid behind a pillar when my father went after Lupin. I cast a charm to make me invisible to people. I also put up shield charms and stayed very, very still...

"C'mon, is that the best you can do!?" Sirius shouted to Bellatrix.

I willed him to stay back, move out of the way, dodge it somehow..but he didn't.

"Avada Kedavra!" she shouted, a jet of green light sailing straight to Sirius, who was too busy laughing to notice.

"SIRIUS, LOOK OUT!" I screamed.

I was too late...the jet of light hit Sirius in the chest, mid-laugh.

His eyes widened, the laugh still on his face as he fell backwards...into the veil.

"SIRIUS!" Harry shouted as he fell backwards, the veil enveloping him, a quick rustle of it, and it was still.

"SIRIUS!" Harry shouted "SIRIUS!"

I started weeping and pulled down my protective charms, bursting into the scene. I helped Remus pull Harry back, but it was no use. He was going to kill.

He rushed after a maniacally laughing Bellatrix. The Order was helping up my friends. Apparently, Dumbledore was on his way and Voldemort had arrived just seconds ago.

I pulled Eliza up and realised her swollen ankle. I conjured up a seat and sat her down. Then I pulled out some bandages from my charmed coat and my wand, and began healing her foot.

Remus came over. "You'd make a great healer." he said as I was working.

"It's my dream job." I replied.

"Well, I reckon you'd get it, easy as pie."

"Thanks."

When Eliza was all clear to walk on her ankle, Remus lead us all out and disappearated away with everyone.

When we landed, we headed to the hospital wing to heal some things that hadn't been served. I helped Madam Pomfrey with the potions for the next hour whilst everyone else waited impatiently for Harry and Dumbledore to return-If they returned at all.

Harry arrived half an hour after that, looking exhausted. Everyone rushed up to him to see how he was feeling. He said fine, but we all knew that was a lie.

"I came to get Scar. Dumbledore wants too talk to you." He said the last bit directly to me.

I nodded, took off my apron and walked with Harry to Dumbledore's office. I was apparently supposed to go first, as Harry's chat was going to go on for longer than mine. They were probably going to talk about everything Dumbledore didn't tell Harry before. That was going to involve a very angry Harry, so I was glad that I wasn't going to be present.

Anyway, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door...

We're so close to the end now!

Sirius' death scene was extremely hard to write... *sigh*

Didja like the plot twist, though? Cause I did...
