When the Future Visits the Past (Sirius Black)

The Meeting #24

"Well well, you don't seem to understand that I am not giving you a choice Miss Aubrey it is either join me or die!" Voldemort exclaims lifting his wand towards me, "one last chance to make the right decision for every drop of deserving magical blood lost is a tragedy".

How will I get out of this.... it's not like anyone knows where I am right now, even if they did I wouldn't risk their lives and prematurely cause their deaths. A duel might work.

"How about I propose a third option?" Asks Severus I can feel him sneaking into the back of my mind while I focus on the dark lords onslaught in my mind, "a duel against me one of your best duellists, should she beat me she will walk free but should she loose she must join us my lord".

"A duel you say, I haven't had any decent entertainment in a while I suppose what you have suggested Severus will work" says Tom looking fairly intrigued "you may move to the ballroom and begin.

——-

Good I stood opposite Severus my mind flying through all the hexes and jinxes I could remember as well as all the counters I knew. Severus bowed and I followed before we turned and walked the required distance for a proper duel.

Severus flung the first curse towards me which I blocked silently and retaliated with a leg locker and a levicorpus in succession. Severus blocked the first but didn't anticipate the second and was swung into the air he regains him self while still in the air and throws some quickfire stinging hexes at me which I don't manage to avoid them all causing me to loose concentration and Severus easily avoids my next attack. Behind Severus there is a few chairs which I summon to me, Severus doesn't see them and is knocked in the back. He slowly rises and I let him not ready to end this duel yet. I could have finished him while he was down but that would have been quite disappointing plus I believe he deserves a better loss than to be knocked over by a few chairs.

"You can do better than that Severus" I say spinning my wand in my hand.

"Sectum sempra" he cries out when my wand is upside down in my hand. I couldn't have blocked it if I tried. I fling myself to the side in hopes of avoiding he curse but I fail my left arm is now bleeding heavily. I grab my wand wand from the floor with my right hand after I dropped it and he thinks he's handicapped me now because I usually use my left hand as my wand hand. I'm ambidextrous though so I'm not quite as good with my right but I can manage.

"Give up already Jenetta, you've lost you can't even use your wand arm there's no point in fighting just join us." Tried Severus.

"I said I'm neutral, I'm not joining Voldemort's side," I grate out while trying to remember the spell to stop the bleeding. I can't remember it right now, I have to end this before I pass out from blood loss. I fling a mild stinging hex followed by wadiwasi at him as I force myself to stand straight.

"Lily," I say just loud enough for Severus to hear, I watch as confusion followed by understanding washes his features before I fire a stupify at him followed a by a cunfundus slightly to the right because I know that he will jump to the side that will put his wand arm away from harm. I conjure up a small fire ball and fling it and a expelliarmus. I hit my mark and his wand flies from his hand and his robes catch fire. I pick up his wand and turn to the snake eyed man. "I won, I would appreciate it if you could honour the deal and let me free".

"How?" He says with a shocked expression.

"I'm good at dueling obviously." I state and turn to leave, "Severus I will leave your wand outside." I turn back with a short nod.

I somehow manage to apparate back to hogmaede just as James and Sirius walk out of the three broomsticks.

They see me fall "Jetta!! What happened?! Where were you?" They ask me. The boys only notice the blood once they get closer.

"James help me pick her up we need to get her to the hospital wing now!" Sirius shouts.

"No,"I murmur "get me to Narcissa please Siri? I need her now bring her to the edge of the Forrest James can bring me that far, hurry please!"

——-

Sirius

Jetta still isn't here what happened to her? "Hey James could you come with me to find Stripes? She isn't here yet I want to make sure nothing happened to her."

We walk out of the bar and hear a crack. My head snaps towards the sound and I see Jetta fall. James and I rush to her asking where she's been when I notice the blood.

Wait blood? Why is she bleeding and bruised what happened? Who hurt her? She needs medical attention fast. I ask James to help me get her to the hospital but she refuses.

"get me to Narcissa please Siri? I need her now bring her to the edge of the Forrest James can bring me that far, hurry please!" She asks before gasping in pain. I notice her distress and realize I don't have time to question why she doesn't want to go to the hospital wing. I nod towards them and run back to the castle at top speed switching to padfoot because he's faster.

I get to the castle and bolt down to the dungeons not caring about the paintings hollering at me not to run in the corridors or peeves as he tries to fling some questionable substances at me. I reach the portrait in-front of the slytherin common rooms and shout at the painting to get me Narcissa it ignores me so I pound on it hoping someone inside will hear me.

A small first year opens the portrait a minute later. "Get me Naricissa now!!" I scream at the small child not caring about the looks I'm receiving for being here.

"What do you want?" She asks snarkily once the first year gets her.

"Jetta-come- now!!" I gasp before grabbing her and running.

"What? Where are you taking me?" She asks again with a look of confusion.

"Jetta's hurt- asked for you- come quick-" I say between breaths.

She picks up her pace and we run out to the edge of the Forrest to meet Jetta and James.
